Don't Call me That -SEQUEL TO SCMT

Updated T&C

I go into all sides, all parts of this, including deep-diving into the types of mindsets people struggling sometimes have. You've seen this in Wilbur, if you've read those parts. Sometimes, this is going to come across in a way which seems almost pro. This is partly because I want to be genuine in every aspect of it. I try to avoid making light of it (outside of coping jokes) or making it out to be a good thing, and if I ever do so, feel free to call it out in the comments so I can, if not edit it out, add a note addressing it. I want to take responsibility for what I create, and won't take offense if I make a mistake. Tell me.

Another thing I want to touch on is romanticizing these issues. It's something I try to avoid, and have seen a lot of. Comes in many forms. Whether it be the whole 'he was so small and thin and frail uwu' or 'eat for me' or otherwise. Or the trope of falling in love, and using that to recover, or recovering for someone else.

Frankly, it's unrealistic, offensive, and not something I'll be doing.

There are relationships related to these arcs, and I will portray them as accurately as possible in the way that they are not always healthy and can often make things worse when it comes to an ed (you saw this near the end of the last book). In this book, characters shown to have issues with eds may be in relationships, but that doesn't fix it. That is not what will fix this kinda thing. What 'fixes' it is the person struggling, and sometimes therapy or other further treatment. It never fully goes away, but recovery is possible and can only be done by the person recovering. Support really helps, whether it be romantic, platonic, familial, therapeutical, etc, but it cannot be solved by an outside force.

So in this story, I try to be honest about that. I don't want to in any way encourage the mindset of 'I am mentally ill and need someone to fix me' because it's unrealistic and unhealthy. The only person who can fix you is you. There is no shame in reaching out for help, but as I said, ultimately, it's the individual.

I'm also gonna talk about health stuff in this book, like I did in the last one. Heart issues, skin, other organs, hair, nails, everything affected. It takes a toll, mentally and physically, and I will be showing it. It will be uncomfortable. Eating disorders aren't pretty.

I know that reading about the way that an ed hurts people mentally and physically is not something everyone is ok with, and that's ok. While it will be pretty prevalent in this book, you can skip over it and still enjoy the stories other major arcs. That's ok. I won't take it personally, and will leave recaps when stuff's bad

I am doing a lot better in mine currently, everything in section 3 still applies as far as the story goes (update)

Part 4, real people vs fiction:

And no, this chunk is not about making the difference between CC and these characters clear, though I will go into that briefly. These are mostly OCs, with some traits from CC, dsmp, osmp, and streaming persona sprinkled in. Don't take this to define the real people in any way, shape, or form, as it does not.

Now, onto the bulk of it.

Real people don't act like this. This is a hurt/comfort book, and for that reason, will show people in a way that is not fitting to real life. Real people are very rarely this observant, this patient, this kind, gentle, or otherwise. Someone not seeing when you are struggling, especially if you are hiding it, does not mean they don't care. That's just life. This is not. This is fiction.

Real people are not all going to be educated on trans issues, they aren't going to all be accepting right away (or sometimes at all) and while I try to somewhat portray that, I will be the first to admit that the ratio is completely unreal here. The majority of people, outside of trans individuals, don't know shit. They will need education, help understanding, and the like, and saying something that may be insensitive or incorrect does not mean they are a bad person or aren't trying. Be patient with people, and don't expect them to act like this. 99/100 times, they won't. If they are trying, be patient, and be kind.
