thank you! something I was careful to do was present suicide in as non-specific a way as possible, and end on a note of positivity and gratitude for being alive, and rejection of suicide as inevitable or desirable. I mention the Werther effect in the text, and studies show that media depictions of in particular the Details of suicide (methods, etc) can exacerbate suicidality in a population - but the opposite effect also exists (called the Papagenu effect I think), and depictions of recovery from suicide can improve outcomes. It's a dark game for sure, but ultimately it's about recovery and survival from bad things rather than the bad things themselves. Xx 

And tumblr was definitely a mixed bag lmao. I'm not on there anymore, the platform's pretty dead, and while it was mostly an instructional experience for me, I know and know of a Lot of people who had a bad time - but I think that's true of most social media in fairness. Thank you for playing!
