@phoenix Ah, that makes sense. I tend to automatically recoil a little when someone mentions characters with depression, just because it does seem so romanticized in popular fiction now, which hurts the issue. But portraying it well could be helpful, if it was done right.
@sarah-inkdragon Jumping off what you said about depressed love interests, having that seems to perpetuate the thought that “love can fix me” which is incredibly not true and very harmful in and of itself. It’s annoying and unfortunate, and needs to change.
