Which one of the UTMV's do you think is most likely to end their life?

Damn we getting dark today dhxhgxgxg

Error, he’s very much about destroying and erasing anomalies, and he sees himself as the #1 anomaly, I don’t think he would hesitate to actually kill himself if he succeeds in erasing all Aus

Killer, he’s already very self destructive, he has little to no self perseverance, he’d absolutely throw his life away, not to mention, he already canonically tried erasing himself out of existence

Murder, he absolutely would kill himself as a way out from under Nightmare, as his Au is his first priority and purpose and if he feels it’s completely helpless to break free he’d resort to suicide

Epic, his eye has caused him nothing but misery ever since he got it, I feel that had his eye not regenerated him, he would’ve absolutely committed suicide, he absolutely deals with suicidal thoughts

this show is doing superwonder. we should all kill ourselves

I suspect that help lines and mental health organizations are going to be swamped with people in need over the next few days and weeks.

If you are speaking to someone who is suicidal, or are suicidal yourself, I want to say a few things to hopefully demystify that.

First, it may be scary esp if this never or rarely happens to you, but passing thoughts about dying or wanting to die are a fairly normal response to extreme stress. Your brain is looking for actions to take. It is going through its catalog of possibilities. That doesn't mean it's right.

My brain, for example, often suggests we eat an entire thing of gummy bears when I know it will hurt my tummy. Same principal. A person's thoughts and urges are not them. It doesn't make you a bad person.

Now, I am not downplaying those feelings either. They may be brief, but they are very real. Many of us have a tendency to want to tell people who are thinking of killing themselves that everything will be OK, that they need to STOP. That what they're thinking & feeling is wrong.

This is a dangerous thing to do. If you tell a person who is thinking of suicide "you're wrong to be thinking like that; things aren't so bad; you're overreacting" it's 1) not very helpful and 2) makes them feel even worse.

Instead, compassion. Empathy. Listen to them. "It makes sense that you feel that way." Because it fucking does. Even if it's not how you, personally, would feel in the exact situation. (as if you could ever know that, but that's besides the point.) The point is, when a person is unmoored they are looking for a place to hold onto. You can be that landing spot for them. It doesn't feel or look like heroism because it's mostly simple stuff: listening, not arguing about the validity of their feelings, being there.

And if it's you going through it, my friend, I love you. I love you. I love you. And I'm right there with you.

Ultimately, the taboo of talking about suicide is more about a fear of emotional intensity than it is of death, though of course that is part of it. If you can be brave enough to face intense emotion, death is nothing.

Look, I'm just some guy, so you don't have to listen to me. I hope everyone can access the care they need to stay safe, but I also hope we can care for each other.

To be fully transparent, the first email I sent out this morning was to my therapist, who I haven't seen in over 3 years. I know myself; I know my patterns; I know I'm going to need help in the coming weeks and months. I am not ashamed of this.

Please do not feel ashamed if you need help too.

Everything just keeps coming back to *how* I'm actually supposed to do it in the end. Can't do it at home; there's no bridges here; nowhere else to go that's 'safe.' I'm SO sick of this and yet. I'm still just trapped here

[thebreakfastgenie]

They're well-intentioned and I hope they're helping other people but the "don't kill yourself" posts are not resonating with me. I decided months ago that I wasn't going to kill myself if Trump won (I seriously thought about it) but I'm not staying alive for other people or my community or whatever. I'm exhausted and I don't know if I have the strength to get through this again but I don't actually want to die.

Spamton already knew, he's known the human long and well enough now that he's come to recognize so much of himself in him. The desperate desire to escape, the pressing of buttons until something snaps and things go sour.

Aggravating a violent roommate, welcoming a mercy kill, letting a bunch of kids cut your strings...

"IT DOESN;T HELP!!!! IT ONLY [[Rotting]] YOU FROM THE [[insides out]] !!!!!" Spamton doesn't let go, "YYOUR STAYIN G RIGHT THE [[$%*&]] HERE!!!!!" Even as the shielden ring activates and saves him from a massive headache at the cost of of one charge and a nearly lost grip,

"HOW'S IT FEEL, [[Big Guy]]!!?? HOWS; THE [[turntables]]!!???" The puppet wraps his arms tightly around Brad, somewhere between a grapple and a hug as he does his level best to prevent him from outright leaving,

"THIS!!!! IS HOW!!!! IT FEELS !!!! [[When you chew]] DO THIS [[$#!%]] TO ME !!!! !!"

Emotions at a boiling point, Brad's ready to start wrestling Spamton off him. Spamton's lucky Brad's reaction time is way off, because instead of delivering a kick to the gut like his first instinct, Brad gets grabbed and barely dodges getting an eye stabbed out.

"I FUCKIN' WISH," Brad screams back. "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY-"

If only. He would never try - Not after Lisa. Nothing Brad deals with comes even close in comparison to what she suffered through, so it wouldn't be fair to her if he... Felt that way. He couldn't. He could, however, let himself get cocky when everything felt too heavy.

Careless fights. Joy. Oxy. Beer. Even better if it was something that in the moment was full of adrenaline he could use to pretend this wasn't in his mind.

Leaning into the broken bottle.

Brad can't say whether this had directly occurred to him before Spamton brought it up, but he absolutely wouldn't object if the opportunity came up. Anything to escape from his own head. Especially now that Buddy's probably dead.

Even more desperate to get out after hearing he's still loved, Brad bashes his head against Spamton's to try to escape. He's not thinking ahead (when has he ever?) but by now he's more than willing to grab Spamton's stupid nose and hair or something and just rip it off, whatever it takes to get out of this mess.

He can't take it anymore. Especially not being told he's still loved.

Encountered today: a math professor wearing a shirt his grad students made for him, depicting him as a Moomin saying “I will literally kill myself if I don’t mention the orthogonal group”

We need to talk more about the transmasculine suicide rate.

There's a common saying that every transgender suicide is a murder, because it is the lack of acceptance in society that leads transgender individuals to commit suicide at such a high rate, this is true of trans men who have the highest suicide rate across all gender identities:

[image ID: a stylized graph depicting the percentages of considering & attempted suicide for different gender experiences.

Cisgender boy/man: 28% considered suicide, 8% attempted suicide

Cisgender girl/woman: 37% considered suicide, 10% attempted suicide

Transgender boy/man: 59% considered suicide, 22% attempted suicide

Transgender girl/woman: 48% considered suicide, 12% attempted suicide

Nonbinary/genderqueer: 53% considered suicide, 19% attempted suicide

Questioning: 48% considered suicide, 14% attempted suicide

Trans men are not receiving the support they need, and many of them are not surviving because of this. We need to make sure that mental health support and suicide for transgender individuals is as inclusive as possible for these transgender men who are at the highest risk.

We need to ensure trans men feel safe and welcome within the queer community as isolation is one of the more exacerbating factors on one's mental health. We need to make sure resources for victims of sexual violence are inclusive of transmasculine individuals, who face the highest rate of sexual abuse and yet often have to recloset themselves to find support. We have to love trans men because society shows them nothing but hate.

Check in with the trans men in your community, you may just save a life.

Image 1 is Dean with his head in his hands after Cas has been taken by the Empty. The lyrics are "Gloomy is Sunday, with shadows I spend it all".

Image 2 is Dean with his hand on his chest after he's been impaled on rebar. The lyrics are "My heart and I have decided to end it all".

Image 3 is a closeup of Sam's hands holding a burning lighter. The lyrics are "Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad, I know".

Image 4 is Dean holding onto Sam as he's dying, smiling. The lyrics are "Let them not weep, let them know that I'm glad to go".

disclaimer: i have not harmed myself in any way, and i dont plan to.

these comics are a safe place for me to explore and externalize the intense feelings ive been dealing with. i am also taking practical steps, such as talking to my therapist and getting my medications adjusted.

if you are having urges to harm yourself or take your own life, please reach out to someone you trust to seek help.
