@somerandomdudelmao apocalypse series continues to deliver drama.

I wanted to do a quick sketch but end up adding too many random spots and now it doesn't even look like the original frame >w<

I’ve been wanting to throw color onto this panel since the day it uploaded! I finally, FINALLY, got around to it! I love! Uncle Tello so MUCH! I wanted to color other panels from this chapter too because goodness gracious give me any excuse to make them glow and look super cool! 😭✨

@somerandomdudelmao your comic has had a death grip on me for months and I love your work and emotional storytelling. I hope you’re doing well 💖

Hey random life pro tip but you can and should always examine your thoughts, opinions, beliefs, and assumptions because they all come from somewhere. ESPECIALLY the ones you take for granted. It can be super helpful to just get a little curious and ask yourself "hm. That's interesting. Where did I learn that?" (The answer is usually your parents/family or culture/society/religion).

For example, if you feel worthless because you don't have a job, take a moment to think about where you learned that you need a job to be a valuable member of humanity. That idea didn't come out of nowhere. It probably came from being raised in a capitalist society built on the Protestant work ethic. This also applies to ideas like "I'm boring" or "I'm ugly" or "nobody likes/loves me" or "nobody will like me if I x" or "I have to do x or else y" or "x people are y" or really any other thought/belief.

Importantly, you should not shame or judge yourself when you realize that some of your thoughts/beliefs may have come from somewhere you *really* disagree with. I think this happens a lot for folks who leave a religion or political party and keep some lingering values like purity, keeping up appearances, and needing to atone for "sin". There's nothing to be ashamed of during this process because it's our weird, squishy brains that hold onto values so tightly without us necessarily consciously knowing that it's happening. Our brains don't come ready-made with the ability to disentangle your more conscious beliefs that you may have fully abandoned from less conscious ones that you've perhaps never noticed without conscious effort. When you notice these things, simply acknowledge them, label them, and ask yourself questions about where they came from and if you truly do believe them and why.

This is a continuous process that can take someone's whole life, because we are constantly picking up messages from others around us about how we as human animals "MUST" live in this world. I'm not going to lie and say this is an easy process to go through because you will likely be tempted to feel guilty and ashamed about holding beliefs that don't like up with your actual values, but just remember that it ALWAYS makes sense why/how you got to this point. We are all products of our genetics, relationships, and life experiences, and if you work hard enough and have enough information, you can track down where all the different parts of you came from. I would also highly recommend getting yourself set up with a counselor who you like and trust because they can help you work through disentangling these things without shame.

REEXAMINE YOUR BELIEFS ALWAYS. YOUR THOUGHTS ARE NOT REALITY, THEY ARE JUST THOUGHTS MADE BY YOUR SQUISHY ELECTRIC MEAT.

I have no idea if there’s a community on here that I can talk about this with but I saw assassins at chichester festival theatre today and the set choice for the last scene made my jaw drop. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out they’d based the whole theme of this revival on being able to make that choice at the end. please tell me someone else has seen this and wants to talk about it

My submission to @creaturefeaturetoys

It’s based somewhat loosely on a parasitic plant and then I was like you know what? I’m really vibing with a tree look actually. So it’s a mix now.

i saw an anon call cutting someone off to be "avoidant and cowardly" in an ask to a therapist i follow and i just find that to be such a cruel thing to say. like, i wasnt being avoidant or cowardly when i cut off the unhealthy, emotionally enmeshed group of friends who consistently abused each other and scapegoated the blame onto me when i tried to hold people accountable for the way they were hurting each other and me.

i wasnt avoidant when i cut those people off. in fact, i had to confront directly the truth, the facts of the relationships i was dealing with. i had to STOP AVOIDING the discomfort, pain, and suffering i was dealing with on a daily basis trying to get these people to like me, to want to be around me, to talk to me. i was so painfully lonely i avoided speaking about my true feelings, because every time i tried to i was shut down. by cutting those people off, i didn't AVOID reconciliation with them - i CONFRONTED the truth of my pain, and realized i could not continue to expect these people to treat me well when all they've ever done is overlook and use me.

and to that end, it wasn't COWARDLY of me to cut them off. it was the BRAVEST thing i've EVER done. it took so much fucking courage for me to say, no i am okay on my own. that even if i end up alone forever, it would be better than constantly setting myself on fire for a group of people that genuinely wouldn't have bothered to visit me in the hospital if i was sick or dying.

so please stop this whole "you're an avoidant coward if you cut people off." no one in my life is OWED my friendship or my presence in their life, especially when it is only causing me pain. no one on this planet is required to stay in abusive, toxic relationships that hurt them constantly just so they can call themselves "brave" and "devoted to reconciliation." there are people who you cannot reconcile with, because they simply lack the self-awareness and maturity to do so. you're not an avoidant coward for deciding you're done playing steward to the emotional states of your "friends" who won't do the same for you.

Neben den ernsthaften Arbeiten auf der #ISS haben die Besatzungen von #CFT und #Crew8 ihre eigenen olympischen Spiele veranstaltet und dabei augenscheinlich viel Spaß gehabt.
