Nothing can express my sheer elation when I see the "Asexual Vash the Stampede" tag on a fic

[ruuggs]

Personally

I’m his biggest fan

(ART BY TRAFFROGERS @traffrogers )

Did I basically take a photo of all the frames that he’s in, yes absolutely, was it worth it, you better believe it. also I need this on a t-shirt

If I knew how to write properly, I'd write a furry YA novel where the main character is aroace, so if she somehow ends up in a love triangle she'd just go "Nope." and then go back to overthrowing the government

[eyeswaitingfortuesdaynight]

his scammer aura, complete lack of self-compassion, and extremely sus relationships with other men have captivated me

[arytha]

i passed out for 4 hours lol. why is it 4 hours every time i do this. i dont understand

[sarasa-cat]

Reading a novel that is generally an enjoyable page turner

But

A loud key trait of the main character is her epic impostor syndrome (multiply “justified” in the story)

And I’m just

Fuck

Girl

Impostor syndrome is mostly gaslighting yourself via endless self blaming rather than pointing your finger at the real problem:

Classism. Sexism. Racism. And other Otherisms in which society is giving you a cold shoulder bc they are bigots.

So stop gaslighting yourself ffs.

I really do want to see Gideon and Harrow be domestic, and I guess that is technically what's happening in Nona, but Palamedes says Muir understands abstract thinking so I don't think it really counts.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

maya angelou saying the funniest thing anyone has ever said about editing, which i can never let myself forget EVER AGAIN [x]

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.
