looking into deep clear water

Yeah frogs don’t have ribs. It’s a quick way to identify the bullshit ‘info’post about the ‘correct way’ to hold a frog. They seem to constantly mention hurting their non-existent ribs.

Made a lowball offer on eBay as a joke and it got accepted. uh oh.

There's this perception, I've noticed, that if you're going to have a cultural conception of something like "mental health" in your fictional setting it has to be like Ideal, it needs to be the ideal version of mental health awareness/conception/care or it needs to not exist at all even a little. Does that make sense.

Similarly there's also this idea that either a character knows what therapy is, has had some, and has had an overwhelmingly positive experience and result from it, or they have literally no concept of therapy at all, like Harry Du Bois not knowing that he's a cop style. Total blank. Very odd.

The options are not "this story takes place in the Instagram infographic universe" or "you get nothing. Everyone has a caveman's understanding of what depression is." is all I'm saying. Make a setting with a concept of mental health that sucks. Send the character to therapy that doesn't work. Officially diagnose them with something that sucks and is absolutely going to be taken out of the in-universe dsm in a couple of editions. Try something difference.

Me, pointing to the mirror: Do NOT become The Joker about this. This isn’t even a Condiment Man situation.
