i'd give up forever to touch you

Genuinely I don't think it's a bad thing. People are just really weird and preachy about self harm, especially if it leaves visible marks. I honestly think you should do it.

I'm sure there might be pitfalls you could fall into with how you depict the scars or portray the character and you should be careful in how you humanize the character bc there definitely are instances where characters who self harm or have maladaptive coping mechanisms are portrayed negatively and demoralized for these traits but I think it has more to do with how mental illness is demonized in media, I think it's normal and reasonable to want to portray your character's struggles on their design even if you've never self harmed. Just look into how scars would heal or look so you can draw them accurately. But remember, scars are a part of the human experience. Having scars in itself is not "horror" nor inherently more inappropriate or unsightly. No matter what scar. Disfigured characters are also not "horror" and none of it needs to be downplayed or hidden away or made into a huge scary thing. People with all kinds of scars are normal everyday people too regardless of what caused them.

Hell, I'd argue some people might appreciate seeing representation of sh scars too! It's obviously something that stems from very negative sources as self harm does but we need to demystify it and stop treating it as some huge terrifying taboo where they're gross and people feeling the need to ask entitled questions... Everyone has different attitudes (justifiably!) to their own self harm scars so it'll be good to explore that too!

It doesn't have to be a massive unconscionable serious big deal. For many people it's just like using alcohol. It's not good for you, but whatever you're trying to comfort with it is often worse. I'm sure they already know.

That's not to say it shouldn't be portrayed seriously (you should take it seriously as the character's creator!) but it's also okay to just make it another part of the character. I would personally not want people to feel so scared about it that they'd avoid the topic from afar because while it's an understandable and kind impulse to want to be respectful, I don't think complete avoidance and censorship around the topic actually helps people who self harm. You're allowed to do this. You're allowed to care about it. You might learn many things too. Be open minded and earnest. I'm sure you can always ask people for feedback if you need it!

Good question! I would like to know as well so that I can download it for my game again, it's a nice outfit. 😅

I think it's an older cc item and I remember the creator having their own page with clothing categories like elder female, teen male etc.

I'll look around and see if I can find it. Does anyone else recognize where this outfit is from?

It's been a million years but I found it! It's from All About Style which is only available through the Wayback Machine!

I was alerted to the existence of these womrat recolours by @andrevasims which I’d somehow missed for 18 years??

But as they pointed out, the texture sizes were teensy tiny, and I noticed this in my game too - the eyes should be much beadier than that!!

So I replaced them with the correct texture size (same as the existing in game womrat breeds) and thought I’d share them in case anyone else wants them.

Yes, including the little crispy guy…..

Enjoy!
