Sorry for kinda ranting! /Gen/lhI’m someone who only draws their fuck up ships in a cute way.I’ve dealt with things in my life, Which arguably aren’t that bad, but had lasting effects on me. Just ignoring those moments in my life Have never worked, they come back to me in my weak points. So when I started reading I found the genre a Fic, forbidden love, but at the end it was a happy ending. it was perfect for me as I was already a fan of romantic stuff in general, this allowed me to relate to it but also get the happy ending I don’t feel like I ever got. It gave me something I needed to focus on that didn’t just remind me of how things were, and didn’t make me feel alone.I’ve also seen people that drawing things they relate to  in a cutesy way is the opposite helpful. And that’s completely valid, it’s just best we avoid each other and respect boundaries put in place.My therapist encourages me reading, drawing, and reminds me I’m not a monster for my interest in fiction. Even if my life was completely different, and I was happy from the gecko, maybe I’d still have the same interest, who the hell knowsAnti’s having such a terrible effect on my mental health, ironically for them, has only pushed me to focus more on the coping mechanisms that worked, ie: The ones they hate.Am I aware that what I draw is bad in life? Yes absolutely. Which is why I always tag everything I post appropriately, so it can be avoided by those who might not find help with it or find it gross.  I do my part by putting warnings and making sure it’s in appropriate places. I wish other people could do their part by looking at it critically,  and avoiding what they don’t like.
