#The Time of Your Life

What if Kitty Duval met Avis Amberg?

Sometimes, when I’m sad, I think about what would happen if Avis Amberg ever met Kitty Duval. How Avis would take care of Kitty and keep her safe and never make her do anything she didn’t want to do or let anyone else control or coerce her. She’d find her the perfect job, one where she could forget all the times she had to walk the streets for $2. She’d give her her own set of rooms in the Amberg mansion so she wouldn’t have to worry about making the rent. There would be privacy and stability like Kitty had never known. We know that neither of them can stand to be alone so in some ways, Kitty would be taking care of Avis just as much as Avis does for her. Avis would treat her like a princess, keeping her warm and close. Kitty would be loved. Always.

In the time of your life, live—so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches. Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let it be free and unashamed.

Place in matter and in flesh the least of the values, for these are the things that hold death and must pass away. Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption. Encourage virtue in whatever heart it may have been driven into secrecy and sorrow by the shame and terror of the world. Ignore the obvious, for it is unworthy of the clear eye and the kindly heart.

Be the inferior of no man, or of any men be superior. Remember that every man is a variation of yourself. No man's guilt is not yours, nor is any man's innocence a thing apart. Despise evil and ungodliness, but not men of ungodliness or evil. These, understand. Have no shame in being kindly and gentle but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret. In the time of your life, live—so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.

For some reason it's the word paradise—the suggestion that this is as good as things will ever get—that does her in.

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.

does anyone else hate that work takes up like 90% of your life and you literally are always working and have to form plans and important things and even seeing friends or eating meals around work. it's always just work. im spending my life just being At Work. i don't have time for hobbies or for seeing friends bc it’s always Work. like two days off a week isn't even enough because my days off aren't consecutive so i just spend those days exhausted or doing errands or house chores. there is not enough Time. all the time goes to Work. WHY IS LIFE THIS WAY. humans were not meant for this

It didn't hit me as hard when I was watching it in the cinema, but listening to Green Day's Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) while thinking about that X-Men blooper sequence makes my eyes water a little. Hugh laughing about mishaps and opening up about being unsure of himself on set because he was a new guy. Patrick Stewart bowing and everyone clapping. "It's something unpredictable / But in the end, is right" is such a fitting line for X-Men. What a farewell to Fox.
