ive honestly started to loathe this specific piece but, i kinda wanted to redo it though
this is and always has been a piece about having borderline personality disorder, and how it affects my personal life and relations to others. it wasnt intended to be some sort of neurotypical Relatable Feelz piece, or something to be used for peoples werewolf roleplays and demon kin blogs; but thats what it apparently fell into nonetheless over on tumblr
having it taken that way by so many people, so many times, has hurt me to see. in ways it also makes me pretty angry and feel like the disorder ive had to learn to live with and manage is being trivialized. it goes around getting notes again and again but i didnt want to delete it until i made something better of it
it took well over a couple years to get around to that

It's really eye opening to look at this and read about how the whole experience has affected you.
I'm sorry that it became more painful than relieving to have watched what happened to the original (or rather what people turned it into) but I do hope completing it again helped you feel at least a bit more refreshed.
It's a gorgeous piece that speaks volumes

I recently got diagnosed with BPD and honestly, watching you as an artist improve and have consistency in your style really inspires me. I appreciate your openness to theses subjects, like, you're one of my favourite artists. I wouldn't know how I'd feel if people started using my art in a context where it's taken lightly. I'm so glad you put this out there.
It's an unfortunate side effect of releasing your creative work to the public. I'm sure there are various music artists that often feel similar, creating something so personal, then for many listeners to give their own personal meaning to it. I've seen some users tag my fursona as kin which is pretty unfortunate; how can they claim the thing as them or something if they know practically nothing about it or the real life struggles represented in such a character? :p
I think that despite the mislabelling, it'd be better to tune it out up to a point, otherwise you stress yourself out more than necessary.

people will be as people do, and see themselves in stuff they see... It's super brave to put a hugely personal piece of yourself out there, especially when most people can't relate to it the way you do <:0 nobody can take where your voice comes from and what this piece means to you away from you, and it means a lot to me to see someone expressing difficult and misunderstood parts of themselves, no matter what. Thank you <3
I was severely abused for many years with someone with BPD before our friendship fell apart as I was fearful for my safety. I wish we knew they'd had it so I could have been more supportive and understanding. I'm learning to be more accepting and less fearful of people with BPD thanks to the resources available now and more people talking about it.
I've always liked this piece, I suffer from PMDD and though it's not the same thing, it feels relatable.

We really hope you feel better for whenever you are not feeling well.
rly hate when neurotypicals claim the relevancy when they don't actually fully understand someone's struggle. Even I can't claim what I know how you must feel even when i have the same disorder/spectrum-- http://i.imgur.com/xXN2I9M.jpg Psychs still struggle between whether it is DID or BPD, but either way, we only have an idea of the daily struggles for those with BPD.
It's a really difficult disorder to deal with, and you're super strong and know you can overcome anything.
Am not sure if this is true, but many with BPD and professionals say that the emotional intensity and episodes tend to fade/become more infrequent over age. Hope that gives you some sort of comfort/reassurance to know that it'll be okay in time.
if you ever need someone to vent to or anything at all, I'll always be here for you. That's a promise I can keep.
Your expression and works deserve to be protected, and hope no one tries to take it away from you anymore. : [ <3 You rock! <3

I just adore all of this, and how you're using your art to express something so personal and difficult for you.
You are honestly such a positive force, your own honesty with yourself show so much through your work, especially this one. I'm sorry people have co-opted what is effectively your struggles so they can enjoy it on some superficial level.
If they can't appreciate the honesty of it and how much care you put into the animation, they just need to look elsewhere for their wolf-related graphics.
I just pray it doesn't happen again, because no one should feel like their emotions are being appropriated for something completely unrelated.
