okay sure. psychosis? scarier to have than to know someone who has it. DID? im more a threat to myself than people around me. wheelchairs and psych meds? are tools that help people live more functional and flexible lives and are not judgments of the persons character and for sure are not scary things. and for real, intellectually disabled people are not threats, but movies love to make them villains because they act different and understand the world differently. and people with notable physical differences? people who’s bodies look different? people with scars, growths, amputations, etc? are literally just people. and seeing themselves painted like monsters on the big screen is absolutely sickening and damaging to how society will see them.
its not only bad writing but its extremely harmful to people who actually live with conditions that are misrepresented in media. when i found out i had DID, my mom freaked out because her only point of reference was Sybil. when i was younger and first went on psych meds, i thought it meant i was set on a track to be a bad person, because in so many movies and video games you find out the bad guy has medication in his bed side table for some sort of psych disorder. the worst thing a hallucination has ever made me do was wake my mom up at 3 AM to check my bathroom to see if the bugs i saw everywhere were real and the worst thing an “episode” of any sort has made me do is hurt myself. my ptsd doesnt make me kill people, my alters dont kidnap people, my autism doesnt make me so morally unaware that ill murder for senselessly, my ocd doesnt make me hurt people etc etc etc
literally the only “horror” is the ableism. and the only way you can write good horror about disability and mental illness is if the focus is on how society and the medical field treat us rather than focusing on how we are apparently so scary, threatening, and bad.
Horror is and has historically been an incredibly ableist genre, and it is still largely unrecognized as such. This has genuine severe and real-life consequences for disabled and neurodivergent people in real life. Please keep this in mind if you are abled and/or neurotypical.

Hi my name is Mickey and I'm raising funds for:
Suheila, who is a m… Mickey Dee needs your support for Support Suhaila's family in
Campaign checked by 90-ghost
💬 69 🔁 6415 ❤️ 1408 · My name is Suheila from Gaza 🇵🇸,
a mother of 5 children, living with my family in a tent after the war destroyed ou
When the child from Gaza said, "We are children who never grow up," it wasn't just a passing remark; it was a reality we live every second. Even stars who made the world laugh, like Jackie Chan, couldn't hold back their tears at the weight of those words.
I am a prime example of the suffering we endure here in Gaza. I have been injured for over 550 days and have yet to undergo surgery to remove the metal fragments embedded in my body, and worse than that We live in a tattered tent that offers no protection from the rain or the bitter cold.
Please stop what you're doing now. Stop eating, we're hungry. Stop having fun, we're sad. Stop watching the matches, we've lost our schools. We're only asking to leave the Gaza Strip and live our lives in safety and peace, without killing, hunger, and destruction.
We hope to leave here for a safe country as soon as possible so that I can have my surgery and live in peace. Therefore, we need your voice, we need you to stand by us, we need you to see what we are going through, and we need your donations so that I can receive treatment and begin a new, safe life, please stand by us, please donate.
actually hate that the bodys response to anything is nausea. ate too much? nauseous. ate too little? nauseous. an imaginary threat got you scared? be nauseous. on your period? you guessed it. sawed into your hand and need to go to the emergency room? perhaps throwing up into your open wound will be of help
“The new person you become with that first sip of wine was already there. Look at Pentheus twirling around in a dress, so pleased with his girl-guise he’s almost in tears. Are we to believe this desire is new?”
— Anne Carson, in her translation note to Euripides’ Bakkhai
