Collab with Dango!! I colored over Dango’s wonderful sketch :’)

Here are our two sad space babies

AH I LOVE THESE TWO

This week’s “first date” prompt was a little weird for me because I… don’t really picture them as the type to go on dates because they both come across to me as pretty reserved and introverted characters. Characters who’d prefer to be a lot subtler in their relationship.

So I took that and ended up with a scenario where they attempt to go on a date but end up not really being too fond of the whole thing so they end up going back home and just enjoying each-other’s company for a while, instead.

PS: Since I’ve been drawing this AU of mine so much I decided to create an infodump/masterpost about it so be sure to look at that as well if you’re interested!

She doesn’t know, alright. They don’t know

“I’ve felt worse.”

That was one of the most powerful lines I have ever heard. Lapis fighting through her PTSD to come help the only people she has ever cared about is absolutely wonderful. Such an emotionally broken character being able to stand up and shine where others couldn’t. She is the embodiment of a permanently damaged character. No amount of friends or love will take away the pain and despair she feels. To me, she represents the real struggle of chronic mental illness. Her showing she can’t just “get over it”. It is something that can never and will never go away. And she has people who love and support her anyway.

Even the people who hate her are part of her representation. Some get frustrated and mad that she still goes through her episodes of depression and PTSD. They want her to just get better. That she should be over it by now. People who are mentally ill get this all the time. Parents, friends, lovers. They think that it’s about fixing us. That a date, or a vacation, or some relaxing activity will just get rid of it. They often feel personally attacked when it doesn’t work. They often first feel bad that they couldn’t help, but then angry because they think we aren’t trying. They make it about how /our/ mental illness makes /them/ feel.

Of course, mental illness is not an excuse to be a toxic and abusive person. We have to take responsibility for our own actions too. But understand that mental illness is about the person going through it, not others. That it may never go away and if you love that person, that’s part of the package. Don’t get upset when your attempt to “fix” them fails.

Lapis and her defectors represent the real struggle millions of mentally ill people to through.

If I pause it at the right place I can almost pretend that my blue angel is just wearing some thick blue oven mitts and isn’t suffering at the bottom of the ocean slowly losing her identity
