Description
ive honestly started to loathe this specific piece but, i kinda wanted to redo it thoughthis is and always has been a piece about having borderline personality disorder, and how it affects my personal life and relations to others. it wasnt intended to be some sort of neurotypical Relatable Feelz piece, or something to be used for peoples werewolf roleplays and demon kin blogs; but thats what it apparently fell into nonetheless over on tumblr
having it taken that way by so many people, so many times, has hurt me to see. in ways it also makes me pretty angry and feel like the disorder ive had to learn to live with and manage is being trivialized. it goes around getting notes again and again but i didnt want to delete it until i made something better of it
it took well over a couple years to get around to that

This piece is beautiful, it's gorgeous, emotional, and there's a lot that goes into it.
I've done something similar for my PTSD at one time-- an art piece, I mean, not this idea. Like you, it was taken places that weren't reflective of my disorder at all. However, I do appreciate seeing what it activates in peoples' minds-- How it expresses an emotion to them. Art is a reflection of imagination, and although boundries were crossed for you, your audience did reflect on it in ways that could express them as well, but perhaps they don't have the means to do so. It's like looking at paint splatters, for example. Perhaps you meant one thing, but someone sees another. It's up to you to specify the meaning, but also up to others to interpret it with their own minds without the specifications. I understand the pain, I do; try to see it as an honor that people are relating in their own ways with such a strong work of art.

I completely understand that, believe me-- It sucks, SUCKS to be misread or ignored completely when something you've done is so passionately about your own life. It is supposed to be a reflection of you, and often so much to make you feel better about having to deal with it daily (I know). Unfortunately, there's not much more that you can do then this; to try to correct it by stating what the piece was truly about, and your feelings about having it misinterpreted. No matter what, a good artist will be both loved, and looked over time and time again. The art is beautiful, people want to share it. Maybe ignorantly, which isn't great. I guess what I mean by all of this is that it will unfortunately happen, I'm sure you understand that, but to try to take the pain away by seeing it in a different light while also educating those who aren't understanding its importance, if possible.

i mean i KNOW it will happen. its happened multiple times, over many years ive been online. ive had my art stolen, reposted, characters ganked, my own feelings on it downplayed and cast aside. am i not allowed to post my own feelings on that matter? that it upsets me? or is that just to be ultimately overlooked as well and told "its gunna happen so feel honored people like your work" :/

Oh no no, I'm not saying that, I'm sorry. I know I'm just a stranger, but I'm trying to help because I can relate in a way. I'm just saying I guess that, yes, your feelings are completely valid. You're allowed to be hurt, you're allowed to be mad, you're allowed to feel-- I know what it's like. I don't know what your disorder is like. I know what mine is like. I do, however, know what it's like to express it in a piece, and have it mean ONLY that, and to have it taken away. I know what it's like to hurt over it. I also know what it's like to lose sleep and feel pain over it for a long time. It's hard to find a coping mechanism for it because it'll happen inevitably, so what I'm saying is to try to find a positive, somehow, for something so awful. Not to disregard your feelings, but to have a little light to look at in all of the dark, because it's horrible to be trapped in just the dark.

Art is subjective as always. Someone who's lived in a cave all their life will see rocks differently than someone who lives out on a cliff. While people won't always get the original meaning of something quite right, especially something that is vague, doesn't mean the intention is to undermine what it is but rather find some meaning in it for themselves. While that's selfish, it's almost human nature I'd say. This piece could be talking about a simple beast who can't control his hunger for the hunt, as it doesn't say what it is and I think that's part of the beauty of art. I don't think it should be taken personal.

Something tells me you ignored the hell out of the artist's description. Which is gross.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I read it which is the reason WHY I made that comment. You can't expect everyone to get the interpretation of a piece of art right. If you can't handle that fact maybe thick twice before uploading your art then?

You really think this is some kind of abstract art analysis class in a university or something? No, this is the real world. If a piece of open to interpretation, you as an audience member are given a task to interpret it.
If the artist TELLS you what the piece was intended for, what their emotional intent was, it is shitty as an audience member for you to ignore it just so you can continue safely speculating and analyzing it pretentiously.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh, so you read it but you totally disregarded everything you read about it being a personal piece for the artist.
Actually yeah. You can get the interpretation of a piece of art right IF THE ARTIST LITERALLY EXPLAINS TO YOU WHAT THEIR INTENTION WAS FOR THE PIECE.

this piece is a literal representation of myself as a person, who has borderline personality disorder (which is a pretty serious thing and can cause a lot of issues as im sure you could know). its about the shit i put up with every day thanks to it, and what i have to do about it to manage it and myself as a person. you can literally read the description to see that
so yea, i can definitely take it personally to have it simply be described as "a simple beast who cant control his hunger for the hunt" and comparing me to a "simple beast" that does nothing but hunt and hurt people is incredibly insulting, so you can fuck off my dude

It's an interpretation lmao. Not everyone is going to read the words underneath the pic. On tumblr stuff gets re-uploaded all the time and that's shitty, as it is also a really bomb piece but unless you scribble the literal words over it people can have any opinion they want.

I understand what you mean.
I think having personal interpretations is a natural way for people to experience art.
Tho' not to a point the artists' original intention gets discarded totally.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's sometimes what just happens though and you can't really stop that. You can go and look at a piece in an art gallery with no title or anything and it could be a red square inside a black square would you be able to tell me in full detail what the artist was trying to convey? It could be happiness, and you might say it's hatred. That's discarding the intention totally and I don't see a problem when it's just a guess. I'm sure the creator of MLP doesn't like seeing her characters get drawn in cringey smut but what's she supposed to do about that? It's art.

I remember seeing the old piece being reblogged by rp/kin blogs and stuff on tumblr and was like wtf no... :/
but yea I like this piece (and can relate too)
I really like how you ended it with "but i can get better" this time too...
really nice work <3

i didnt realise how long its been since you drew the original! either way its cool to see how much this piece is improved artistically/technically
and i know the pain of personal pieces exploding on kin/rp blogs it fuckin sucks

It pisses me right off when people don't take this sort of thing seriously. Its happening not just with BPD but with everything.
Its great to help lessen the stigma but when it gets normalized or...... god forbid becomes trendy 
Maybe some of these people just don't get the message behind the art 
Idk

You are an excellent doggo, you've only armored yourself after all you've experienced. Anyone who doesn't agree isn't worth listening to.

its quite sad to see the original meaning of the original pic to be lost in the tumblr hell™ ( i think i actually reblogged it once ? i dont remember well i was a small kid )
i see a lot of more details in this version, and is a beautiful piece with a meaning that deserves to be respected

I really dislike when people on tumblr (nt people especially) reblog things about illnesses like theyre trendy or cute and i hope people begin to realize your art is deeper than that. good luck to you

Knowing you're not the only one with bpd is a good feeling.
This is relatable for reasons that do not need to be said again, as they've been stated multiple times in the comments before mine.

That sucks. I am really sorry that happened to such a personal piece of yours. To be honest, this piece was always one of my favorites of your works... I could tell that it had a very deep meaning and I love it. I appreciate its meaning!! Your awesome! Sorry if this comment makes you uncomfortable or something. :/
