I know others have already given you critics for this, but I just finished your Bipolar Tim Drake fic and I respect that it's your work and you have creative control, but as someone with bipolar disorder I don't love the way it trapped the bipolar experience into such a narrow box. Everyone's journey is different, it isn't just blowing up anger and in bed all day. For people who are trying to educate themselves, this form of portrayal can be misleading and at worst borderline insulting

hey so fun fact, if you're looking to fanfiction (FANFICTION) as the medium through which to educate yourself about mental disorders instead of, i don't know, using an actual medical website, then there is something so so very completely wrong with you

#''people who are trying to educate themselves'' sirma'am there is not a single person on this planet #who would think hmmm i want to learn about bipolar disorder. and looks to fucking ao3 for the answers #also i love the fact that you're mad i'm writing about ONE character experiencing an illness in ONE way #instead of encapsulating every single facet of the entire bipolar experience in this one guy #my bad. had no idea i was supposed to take everything and shove it into this singular dude by force #what even is this ask #so sorry i forgot it was my job to educate you on bipolar disorder when if you're reading my fic then you clearly have the internet #connection to look it up yourself #lay it on me papa bob
