#STAY SITTING DOWN

[stil-lindigo]

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.

Random comparison question! Who's more likely to have the most people ready to ride or die kill no questions for them the quickest: Maria Miller, Abby Anderson, or Dina?

maria. bias ASIDE, maria is the (figurative) head of a town that her and her father started over ten years ago. by tlou 2 (??? i think) she’s had around a decade to build loyalties. it makes sense that every single person in jackson would feel at least a bit indebted/loyal to her whether they like it or not, and i personally believe maria would have at least 10 people that have worked with her long enough that they consider themselves ride-or-die loyal to her

also, consider the fact that maria isn’t the type to ask people to do risky things for her willy-nilly (or for something as misguided and unfortunate as personal revenge BOOM roasted): she takes life seriously and her people know that. her people trust that. so i feel like if it came down to it, and maria had to ask the people of jackson to take a life????? there’d be at least 5-10 people ready to go no questions asked. tbh i wouldn’t be suprised if she hasn’t secretly “dealt with” someone already. and when she’s PREGNANT????? oh it’s the whole town. they’re all ready to kill for her. seth better watch his mf back

hmmmmm tbh idk enough about abby to say she wouldnt have ride or dies???? i definitely know she’s got her gang in tlou 2, but i didnt really get into the gameplay enough to remember much about their reasons. i know some of them were loyal to abby like manny (PLEASE i hope im getting that right), but others were not (like… mel? the pregnant one. is that mel? i’m SORRY). to my point, i also know from @clickergossip’s amazing posts that abby’s crew weren’t just going after joel for abby, but also for revenge against joel, as they were all deeply affected by the hospital massacre.

i don’t think it being dina would make much sense just because 1) she doesn’t seem to have that many friends no shade and 2) i don’t think she’d ask someone to kill anyone for her???? like of course ellie and jesse totally would, but i feel like it’d be THEIR idea lol

as someone who has never watched any of the episode of critical role that they’re adapting into tlovm it’s very wild to me that the show will drop absolutely banger lines like “you’re at the bottom of my list” or “darling, take off the mask” or “do not go far from me” or “take me instead you raven bitch” or “i was made to pass through fire” and then i log on here and learn that they were all originally IMPROVISED in the original campaign

Prompt 129

Danny, now an adult, has just moved to the city of Gotham. Actually he’s been an adult for a while, but every once in a while he has to end his life, at least legally, lest someone get suspicious. Usually whenever Dan or Ellie does an oopsie and pulls a firebird with being reborn through their core. 

So legally, one Danyal Nightingale, has just moved to Gotham to open a bakery (Thank you for the wonderful recipes and bonding Clockwork) while taking care of his practically newborn son Jordan. Of course Elnath- Ellie- had to pull a core retreat too, which is just his luck. 

It wouldn’t be a problem, but he’s trying to not be so broody. A ghost- even a half-ghost- carrying another core though, has instincts turned up to like, eleven. Which again, wouldn’t be much of a problem if not for someone falling into his dumpster late at night bleeding. A vigilante, which he’s sworn to stay away from that life years ago. And it’s not a lethal wound…

But his instincts are screaming to not let the person bleed all around his nest, and he knows from experience that it would continue to bother him. Which is how he ends up with Batman on his couch to Dan’s glee if the ghost chirps are to go by.

One of the biggest things that makes me see Leo as trans is absolutely the size of his carapace in comparison to his brothers’.

And I’m not talking about height! I’m specifically looking at his shell here, because when you compare him to the others, particularly Donnie who is nearly the same height as Leo, it’s very clear that Leo’s carapace is much longer in proportion to the rest of his body.

Like - standing side by side, even though Donnie is shorter his carapace ends noticeably higher up than Leo’s does. And I like this not only because it really helps push the idea that Leo could very likely be trans (or intersex!), but it’s also just a fun design difference between them.

(It also lends way to future scenarios of Donnie eventually getting taller than Leo, but sitting down still has Leo being the taller one haha.)

i thought that if house and wilson were community characters, theyd be jeff and britta but now that ive finished house i think theyre definitely troy and abed. maybe evil troy and evil abed but still. both are strangely romantic friendships that no one else understands... how troy got jealous of abeds friend at that convention is like how house treats wilsons wives..... both live together..... both make me insane....

same characters (like basically) trust.

arthur repealing the ban on magic and sitting merlin and morgana down to figure out who is going to be court sorcerer and ready to mediate a debate but before morgana can even open her mouth, merlin passes to position onto her. arthur and morgana just stare, morgana makes feeble attempts to spark an argument, to instigate merlin to at least fight for it. even arthur is like “…you don’t even want, like, a room or something for your magic work?? none of the perks?? a different position in the court?????” and merlin’s just like “nope! i’m good!” and morgana and arthur exchange a look before arthur asks why. merlin’s answer is that his position, where he belongs, is at arthur’s side. besides. morgana deserves it. she was snubbed from becoming queen so it was only fair.
