It has been over 7 years now. 7 years of my time on this platform and still going. Possibly even more if we consider my time as a fan fiction author in general. 
          	
          	Slowly and surely I have seen my own writing grow from writing a cringe paw patrol high school story (one of which I thought I'd go somewhere) to writing stories about franchises people love or possibly never heard about, and putting my own spin to it (Generally what you should expect in a fan fiction) 
          	
          	I had my ups and downs. Both here and in real life. Mentally... Emotionally. There are even at times I thought about giving up this fan fiction writing thing and move on to do something more productive. 
          	
          	But I'm still here. Willing to go on. To see where my writing will take me and how far I will improve. Which is most likely why you see my other works getting unpublished. 
          	
          	Prior to this rebrand. Back when I was still Katsuki_Ch/Katsuki the Paint brush. I seem to have the habit of initiating unnecessary drama among a few other fan fiction authors. Mostly because of how I judge their scope of writing. Mistreatment of characters and so on.

Another example of why you should reconsider having a story where it includes characters with mental disorders. The author completely disregards the topic and treats it as a tool used for edgy characters. 
          
          Not doing enough research of said topic and perceives DID as having *evil* alter egos. 
          
          I really despise it. Both this author and this story.

A little advice for everyone—if you're considering giving your OC a mental health disorder but don't fully understand how it works or how to portray it accurately, please reconsider. It's not a good idea—ever. 
          
          If you’re unsure of what you're doing. Simply looking up a brief description online and basing your depiction on that isn’t enough.
          
          Lately, I’ve come across some authors attempting to give their OCs dissociative identity disorder, and unfortunately, their execution completely missed the mark.
          
          I get that some of you may have been inspired by Mutsumi from BanG Dream! Ave Mujica, who suffers from the exact same disorder. However, the way how that character develops DID is far more realistic compared to how some fanfic authors handle it.
          
          Please be more considerate—these are serious topics and should not be tackled with lightly, not just thrown into a story for the sake of making it "edgy."
          
          If you’re going to include it, make sure it makes sense. Otherwise, Just don't do it.

@phynixfly_order Of course, Mental wasn't my major in university. However, I've seen worse things on this app

@SoloKouhai i'm glad you're taking that into consideration. It's just pretty messed up that some people just use these in their stories as if their tools to make their character look better

@phynixfly_order After reading this, I 100% agree. Having said I deleted "that" chapter and will have to do some rewriting. It's good you're bringing awareness to a disorder many people have to deal with.
