Cosplaying is for my Soul… not my Body (but damn I still looked cute)

So last night I started cleaning up my files (My computer is super clogged) and I came across some screen shots that were taken in June of 2012, I believe. Kinda made me start thinking.

Reblogging this because this was shared with me this morning and I think everyone should read it.  It shows how cruel some people can be in regards to cosplay, but it also shows how great people can be in the end. Trigger warnings in regards to depression and how bad some people get, but again, I feel that it’s important to read because this is what bullying can make a person feel like.  All those “har har go kill yourself” comments? People don’t seem to realize that they can really impact a person and make them feel bad enough to consider it.  Fortunately, this girl, in the end, stood her ground and is stronger now.

At the end of the day words hurt, even if the bully is just some person you don’t know on the internet, because I know there’s some people who are supportive but seem to forget that not everyone is as strong as they are.  "Laugh it off,“ and, "Ignore it,"and, "You don’t even know this guy don’t let it get to you,” and things like that.  That’s all well and good but not everyone can just shrug stuff off that easily, and you shouldn’t make them feel like less of a person because “they can’t take it.”  

Hell, I consider myself a pretty strong person, but even being called names bothered me.  I didn’t just see the comments and chuckle to myself and respond by frying that chicken, I looked at it for a while, frowned about it, felt bad about it, the whole snazzy response thing didn’t happen instantly.  And I know there are some confident folks who can just have a snappy comeback right away, but that doesn’t mean everyone can.  At the end of the day, no one should be judged period, whether they can laugh it off and still be fabulous or not.

So this read is important, because it’s honest and it shows how bad bullying can get.  It shows how she reacted, how badly it effected her, and how she turned it around.

So I had the pleasure to see the new Carrie movie tonight and I absolutely loved it.
However I know that a lot of people on tumblr have a few trigger warnings and this movie does have one big one!
There is about 4-6 self harm scenes. Not hinted at, but explicitly showed.
If you’re sensitive to this please take caution when seeing this movie!
Please spread this around so others can be warned!!!
This has been a PSA thank u

Not trying to be anything rude here but does a horror movie really need a trigger warning? This is “Carrie”, the story about a girl who was bullied because she had her period in the girl’s shower, who has a batshit crazy religious mother who thinks sex of any kind is sinful, and she slaughters several innocents because of her mistreatment. I think self-harm was bound to happen in one of the remakes :|

Just saying. 

Oh, um… it’s kinda a spoiler what they’re referring to. It was kind of surprising to see because it wasn’t in the original.  It’s literally someone scratching themselves to the point of bleeding, and it’s not pretty to watch because they show it in full detail.  In fact it’s a bit more painful to watch then the Prom scene (which is, oddly, more tame in the remake, in a way?).  I think the warning is because going in, we all know the story of Carrie and her being bullied, and this self harm part was added into it.  

It’s not Carrie who harms herself.  That would be what you would expect, but no… it’s not her.  So I get what you’re saying, but at the same time… I see the point of the original post.

Because I posted this on my Facebook, I thought I’d post it here.  There’s not pretty things in my book, and here’s a longer, more thought out explanation as to how it all came about.  Behind a cut for triggers and ranting about things like “legitimate rape" and such nonsense.
