[The pulse of the puppeteer]

That... doesn't make much sense.
If you think and say you're at fault for dealing with what you must, implying you have power over it, why do you keep doing it? It clearly isn't a deliberate effort, so please note this is not, in any way, your fault.

About the short poem, I find it incredibly interesting and intriguing. I forgot the actual term for what I think it is, but I want to say omen. One of those short rhymes about prophecies and other more enigmatic/multipurpose/open things. It goes just like rowing a boat, back and forth...

Tl;dr This is the most interesting vent art I've seen in a while stg

Hi there. First off, thank you for the comment. Just a fair warning, this is also going to be insanely long AHAHA so if you want to skip this and not read this, don't worry, you do not have to.

To kind of start off, I know this sounds weird but I actually do not fully consider this to be vent art, which is why I did not mark it off under the vent art tags. I know, I know it REALLY looks like it, and one could argue it is vent art simply because it is insanely personal and it is revolved around a heavy topic that emotionally hurts to talk about, however I do not consider this fully to be vent art because I see what is going on in the art itself to be a happy scenario. I'm calming myself down, playing with one of my yoyos, and the pulse displayed here I drew out is stable on purpose. I wanted to highlight a sort of control I had over my pulse here, which is why I personally could not consider this to be vent art in my own eyes. But if others see it as such, that is totally okay, and I get what they mean.

Secondly, regarding my own mental health being "my fault", I personally think that it is. There is a very famous saying you may or may not have heard of

"Mental illness is not your fault but it is your responsibility."

Of course, this is a fantastic quote, and one that means very well too. It is mostly true as well, most of the time, it is NOT people's fault if they suffer from mental illness or poor mental health. It is so so so complicated, and everyone deals with things differently. People may also end up with the same mental illnesses but got them in different ways.

In my case and scenario, however, I have absolutely no problem with putting most of the blame on myself for my own mental health. Yes, I do things to cope, and I am a very functional member of society. However, I am fine with blaming myself for how awfully neurotic I am. I am a nervous wreck, and without going into an insane amount of detail, I practically ALLOWED myself to become who I am today, which is why I do consider my own issues with my extreme form of anxiety to be no one's fault but my own. Blaming myself doesnt burden me, oddly enough. It is rare for placing blame on anyone to result in anything good, regardless of the situation. However, I need to take account for my own mental health, and part of that is admitting that I myself am the problem FOR myself.

You are a kind commenter, not a therapist, so I will save you the trouble of explaining absolutely everything, of course.

Thank you very much for your support. Have a good week ^_^

One of the best things about necrotic experiments and anatomy would be messing around with how many organical augmentations you could have and how a more tidy up zombie could use them...
