I was trying to find out if Kermit was eligible to be pope and I found a blog that says he's the perfect example of a catholic priest

I’ve made these pages for a comic exercise like a year ago, maybe someday I’ll re-do it since I only really like the last panel

I bet all the Cohort officials are sick to death of the Tower Princes. Imagine being forced to work for a shitty 20 year old nepo baby with a perpetually bad attitude because she can't get over her ex and her horrible toxic frenemy/rebound who has the personality of a snake trapped in a pillowcase. And you can't say shit about it because they are literally god's kid and a saint respectively.

Meanwhile god is busy crashing out and banging his way through your coworkers.

tfw your necromancer refuses to eat your soul and cuts part of her temporal lobe off so you don't meld into her soul and make her all powerful but she bleeds every time she hears your name and goes through a myriad of alternate universes where things could have been different, risking her own life and accidentally being trapped a place where she will probably die, all because she couldn't bear the thought of existing in a universe where you did not, and then you wake up in her body and are furious for her and at her. and then you call her by her house name. when everyone around her has refused that part of her identity even since she became a demigod, mirroring her reciting your own name as she prepared to die instead of the prayers she had been taught since she was born. and you bitch to her that she did not lift enough weights

I do have a piece of writing advice, actually.

See, the first time I grew parsnips, I fucked it up good. I hadn't seen parsnips sprouting before, right, and in my eagerness I was keeping a close eye on the row. And every time I saw some intruding grass coming up, I twitched it right out, and went back to anticipating the germination of my parsnips.

But it turns out parsnips take a bit longer than anything else I'd ever grown to distinguish themselves visually. It's just the two little split leaves, almost identical to a newly seeded bit of kentucky bluegrass when they first come up, and they take a good bit to establish themselves and spread out flat before the main stem with its first distinctive scallopy leaf gets going.

I didn't get any parsnips, not that year, because I'd weeded them all out as soon as they showed their faces, with my 'ugh no that's grass' twitchy horticulture finger.

The next year, having in retrospect come to suspect what had happened, I left the row alone and didn't weed anything until all the sprouts coming up had all had a bit to set in and show their colors, and I've grown lots of parsnips since. They're kind of a slow crop, not a huge return, but I like them and watching them grow and digging them up, and their papery little seeds in the second year, if you don't harvest one either on purpose or because you misjudged the frost, so it's worth it.

Anyway, whenever I see someone stuck and struggling with their writing who's gotten into that frustration loop of typing a few words, rejecting them, backspacing, and starting again, I find myself thinking, you gotta stop weeding your parsnips, man.
