do u consider uhhh givin away full refs of Akira's effects? 👀
I would but I er, I actually don’t have any owo”””
All of his effects were made on his little sprite sheet! I don’t mind uploading those for you guys to look at, as long as you don’t mind seeing 2 effects I didn’t put in the first build (the card effect, which will be in later, and the lighter effect, which I want to change to a different light effect).
I don’t mind if people go wild on the interpretation of these though, that’s the fun of YN fangames - my design now :)
Here’s the ask that was sent to me over pinkuboa. Here’s the post that this was in response to. The entire ask & my response is under the cut.
(1/?)i admire you a lot but the post you reblogged from baku about how the mental illness community here isn't recovery-focused enough was really bad! it's absolutely a good idea to pursue appropriate treatment for your mental illness, but memes and venting don't mean you're not actually trying to seek appropriate treatment! (also: access to treatment can vary, and the specifics of people's conditions do, too.)
there are a lot of things that the mental illness community here could stand to do (2/?)better, but for many people it's basically the only place where they're free to express "ugly" emotions about life as a mentally ill person. also, it's really important to make sure we don't make it a moral/social obligation to be Recovering Enough (rather than just a good idea because treatment improves quality of life), because what that actually does is make it an obligation to LOOK like you're Recovering Enough, and that leads to people prioritizing the appearance of healthiness over (3/3) what's actually healthy for them. a protestant work ethic about mental health is really not what we need, and removing that obligation is one of the few things tumblr does right.
I understand your concerns, but I think you missed the point of the original post.
it's absolutely a good idea to pursue appropriate treatment for your mental illness, but memes and venting don't mean you're not actually trying to seek appropriate treatment!
The phrase they demonstrated in the original post is as follows:
there’s a weird culture on this site where nothing but misinformation is spread and text posts like ‘that bpd feel when you listen to the same song over and over’ get thousands of notes without a single person questioning it
Listening to the same song over and over again isn’t a unique thing to bpd. Several of my friends and I do it without being diagnosed with bpd. I’m sure that you get that listening to the same song over and over again isn’t bpd, but some people don’t realize it isn’t a unique thing for those with borderline personality disorder, and might take it as a sign that they might have bpd without a second though since they’re going through a rough patch in their life (when it could just be a mental illness like depression or just a rough patch rather than a personality disorder).
That, combined with several other post that associate various traits with “that bpd feel” that can be felt by anyone without the personality disorder could lead to someone misdiagnoising themselves. This may lead to the person treating themselves for a disorder they don’t have or accidentally spreading more misinformation about the disease. I remember a post where someone made a list of “remember, not all BPD have...” and rattled off all the symptoms of BPD that, you know, qualify someone for BPD. Someone else pointed this out (I think they had it themselves) and chastised them for spreading false information. I wish I could find that post right now :c
They could also mean questioning it by saying “No one says ‘hey are you ok?’“ or asking if they’re doing alright. The context is a bit unclear, but both ways could work.
Another meme that was talked about in the original post was this:
phrases such as ‘we cant all be neurotypical karen’ become more popular than ‘even if there is no cure, there is always treatment’, and when actually mentally ill people share coping mechanisms, they’re accused of being neurotypical.
The poster wasn’t against venting, they were against the knee-jerk reactions to certain suggestions like “It’s a good idea to go get some exercise every day” (since it’s proven to help). The meme "we cant all be neurotypical karen” can be a dismissive phrase towards positive suggestions like that.
The post wasn’t saying no to venting. It was saying no to experiences like this (content warning: self harm, blood, and anorexia) and communities who only spread negativity rather than a balance of venting and encouraging. That, and dumb asethetics like this who make mental illness and mental disorders into something cool and deep.
instead of helping each other and supporting each other, it feels like this site just wants to keep people miserable forever and discourage any attempts to recover.
I think it’s good to have people online to vent to. However, it’s best to do it in private so you can do it to someone who you feel secure sharing your problems with, not to all your follows who you don’t know and might not know how to handle others who are having a bad time (esp. if they already feel anxious and start panicking over you), plus randos who could use the information you put out about your life against you :( A support blog where people talk about their problems to others who are ready and willing to listen as well offers suggestions, advice, and a warm shoulder is good and should always be supported. A support blog that just confirms that “your illness is valid!” and only tells you to stay within your comfort zone that feeds into depression, anxiety, etc., isn’t, and that’s more what the post is talking about.
also, it's really important to make sure we don't make it a moral/social obligation to be Recovering Enough (rather than just a good idea because treatment improves quality of life), because what that actually does is make it an obligation to LOOK like you're Recovering Enough, and that leads to people prioritizing the appearance of healthiness over (3/3) what's actually healthy for them. a protestant work ethic about mental health is really not what we need, and removing that obligation is one of the few things tumblr does right.
And this is not what the post is encouraging at all! The post is just discouraging the communities who circulate only negative post, who only want to keep post negative (instead of offering the positive aspects) along with the spread of misinformation! They said nothing about constantly recovering, they said
as a mentally ill person, taking a step back from the popular rhetoric that goes around on this site did me a great deal of good.
They are suggesting that because it helped them with their own mental health! And from what I’ve seen of tumblr, I’m sure they’re not the only person it helped.
If you want to keep talking to me about this, do it off anon. You can even privately message me on here if you’d like. But that post is staying on Pinkuboa.
A few people have released things on CS assets themselves, but not many people go full hog and make custom icons. I'll attach them at the end of this post, so you can jump to "keep reading" to see those. I even released a few.
The icon size is 20x20. You can use a bigger, square ratio canvas to draw on to make it easier if you're not doing a pixel icon. I usually go for 40x40 for more wiggle room if I'm not doing pixel art.
I apologize to the nice person who made a whole set of Pink & cyan icons, but you can recolor & make your own icons easily yourself too. It'll be more tedious than the premade set but you're paying for the convience & to support the artist with that one.
To recolor an icon, take a screenshot of an icon...
(my tools are a mess ;w;)
I'm choosing the default pens here.
Paste it to a 20 by 20 px canvas:
The background is the color of my tool sectioin so I know how it will look in it.
From here, I invert the layer using the CTRL + I (command on apple) shortcut. Then I adjust the brightness so the background is white & the icon is black.
Then I go [Edit] -> "Convert Brightness to Opacity" & bam, transparent icon. SAVE AS A TRANSPARENT PNG, then you're golden and can right click on a subtool/brush to replace the icon.
If you want each tool to show a different icon, right click on a tool and do this.
Or you can just put any square image in there like hank hill. Up to you. There's an archive of old windows 98 icons for things like scanning too.
Recommendations:
It's easiest to find them on the asset store under "image material" or "material catalog". Here's some cool ones:
A big Tool Icon
OSHARE's 200 types (super cute!)
OnyxChalchedony's pixel icons (always happy to see more pixels!)
Only OCD Friendly Icons 1 is free, but if you just post a color set on CSP for some clippy you can get enough for all within 2 days. Great for people who use a lot of decorations.
Icons for Special Rulers Set - I'm surprised these aren't default, they're very helpful for ruler users.
All of lee.norang's posts are nice and sleek icons to use.
These are for the command bar for grids & save types, which is one of the things I made for myself too. Love the colors on this one.
A bright set for bright cheery people
This one is in a layer template format, so you'll drag it onto the canvas and it will have layers come out. There's only a bit of JPN so if you can't read it, it isn't hard to modify or understand.
Two Packs of icons, big huge set.
BONUS:
You can print these out and use them, but you can also use them for regular icons. Very helpful!
There's more icons on CSP, but not all of them are useable across languages (i.e. I can't read Japanese so I can't use this Japanese character for an icon).
As I said earlier, I made some myself & will probably upload more of them I've made over the years for free since mine have no concrete theme. A variety pack of thift store leftovers type deal.
Well....They're cute.....aside from them annoying me I like 'em, they're company is nice, they claim I "didn't have the energy to handle my persistence", but they're quite alright
