How upset do you think Toriel would be if she found Asriel, Kris, and Frisk all eating her pie together in the middle of the night when she explicitly told them not to do that?

Why am I picturing them on the floor, on all fours, gathered around the pie and eating it with their faces? (Yes, that includes Asriel)

I’m sorry to come to you like this since you probably wanted someone to come in for a reason for hope but I’m freaking out and have no one to talk to about this rn. A music artist I follow put this stuff in their story on instagram..how are things getting better??? I’m so confused and scared. I’m terrified to be alive. I should’ve died in election night. Idk if I can do this anymore. I don’t want the world to end nor live in an apocalypse/dystopia. I can’t do this. I’m not strong enough. I’m going to die before I even reach the age of 25 or 30 instead of dying of old age😥😥😥😥😥

First, breathe.

Second:

Go read these links. Keep going down the list until you feel better:

Read:

this article* on why the doomers are wrong

everything in Fix the News's awesome year-end roundup* of good news

everything in my masterpost on why we're going to beat climate change

everything from my masterpost on net negative carbon emissions

everything in Fix the News's archives, until you feel better

*it's a fantastic article in many ways but warning for (brief but serious) fatphobia and some annoying Western-centrism. Warning for fatphobia also applies to (one point on the) Fix the News roundup.

You should not have died on election night. Absolutely not. Yes, there are great injustices in the world. But this too shall pass. Literally everything does.

Some notes:

This isn't the end of the world. It's not about to be an apocalypse. And, if the world wasn't a dystopia when half of all people died before the age of 15 (aka all of history until the past 250 years), it's definitely not a dystopia now, imho. (x, x)

Literally every single week on Fix the News, I see the news that some country has ended some disease! Usually I see multiple stories about that each week! We're making real progress that has saved billions of lives!

In 1900, 120 years ago, there were 5 full liberal democracies in the entire world. Now, about 97 countries (out of approximately 195, depending on how you count) are democracies. That's almost half the countries in the world! This is actually, writ large, a time of massive expansion of human rights, hard as it is to believe from looking at the news. (x, x)

Also Imho the most likely explanation to the Fermi Paradox is that we're only 0.13% of the way through expected lifespan of the universe (x, x). Very little time for life to evolve, comparatively.

Finally:

Unfollow this person. Unfollow everyone who posts something that makes you feel suicidal - literally and ongoingly, every time you see a post that makes you spiral, immediately unfollow that person.

It's not about sticking your head in the sand. If you want, you can calendar time to check ACTUAL news sources (NOT social media) a couple times a week to make sure you're staying up on things.

But you know what? The number one priority is keeping yourself alive.

How are things actually getting better? To quote the first article I linked:

"I could tell you that a little more than 200 years ago, nearly half of all children born died before they reached their 15th birthday, and that today it’s less than 5 percent globally. I could tell you that in pre-industrial times, starvation was a constant specter and life expectancy was in the 30s at best. I could tell you that at the dawn of the 19th century, barely more than one person in 10 was literate, while today that ratio has been nearly reversed. I could tell you that today is, on average, the best time to be alive in human history."

Stay alive. And do what you need to do to keep yourself that way.

Danny gets summoned by the Justice League to deal with a world ending threat, and in return, he just wants help with his algebra homework because word problems are hell to solve

Danny dusted off his hands. "There! All good!"

Superman and the rest of the Justice League stared at the pulverized remains of the enemies and then turned back to Danny. "Thank you, King Phantom. How could we repay you?"

Danny laughed politely and then coughed. "No payment needed. I do have a few questions."

Wonder Woman nodded. "Of course, ask away, Your Majesty. Your help to us has been invaluable in saving our world."

Danny waved his hand absentmindedly and pulled out a pencil and paper from his insides. He coughed again and then said, "Say, if the ratio of apples to oranges in a bundle was 3 to 5, with 576 fruit in total, how many oranges are there?"

Silence reigned.

Then Batman said, "What?"

Danny coughed some more, his face flushing green before he repeated, "So if I had a bag of apples and oranges with a 3 to 5 ratio with 576 fruit in total, then how many oranges are there in total in the bundle?"

".... pardon?"

"Okay, so—!"

I gotta ask, does Kris know about the fact that Chara is Asriel's college roommate? If so, how did they react?

In the mini comics Asriel brings up his roomate all the time, but never by name. I kinda like the running gag that he keeps talking about them and the things he says about them get more outlandish each time. They have become quite the character in my mind thanks to the work of a friend.

But yeah, Kris doesn't know it's Chara.

Though I HAVE sketched out a comic for a reveal, but I'm not in the best condition to finish it.

Here's a tiny snippet

Hope I'll get the motivation to finish it one day.
