oh body swap... my true guilty pleasure trope...

Logan laughs, too, and it’s strange because it’s Logan’s laugh in Oscar’s mouth, disrupted over the phone, nothing right about it. “Or, y’know— it’s not like you’ve never seen my dick before.”

He says it so casually it’s almost frightening, because they— they don’t talk about that. It was only two times, and they didn’t acknowledge either of them ever, swiftly moved on with their lives and didn’t mention it, leaving Oscar with the too-pleasant memory of the whole thing: Logan’s hands and his mouth and the stupid words he could barely fit in his nineteen-year-old-mouth, and now he’s twenty-two and bringing it up all casual like it’s just a thing they talk about, like Oscar hasn’t—

“Yeah,” he says, trying his best to sound casual. He flicks his gaze up to where Kyle is across the room, wearing only boxers, picking through a pile of clothes on the floor. If he’s listening, he doesn’t let it show. “I didn’t really look much, though, if it makes you feel better.”

Logan huffs, something like laughter in it. “I really don’t care, to be honest.”

Oscar just leaves it at that, gives him a strained little hum and tries to quiet his mind. He’s not— he isn’t surprised that Logan doesn’t care, but he finds himself getting caught up trying to read into all the intricacies he doesn't really understand, like the ease in which Logan alludes to things they keep under wraps, or maybe he should start with the fact that he’s fucking naked in Kyle Kirkwood’s bed.

People never seem to want to hang out at animal habitats. If they can’t see something immediately, they just leave. If you’re patient enough to stay, sometimes incredibly magical experiences happen. Like this one.

Those are California condors. Biggest wingspan in North America, incredibly endangered, and the only species with approval from USDA for emergency use of the poultry avian flu vaccine.

Towards the end of the day, once things got quiet, I sat down near where one was foraging and just hung out. Then… they noticed me.

I can only upload one video so I’m going with the one where I was showing them my glasses, since they kept trying to peck at my shoelaces and fingers and I wondered what else they'd be interested in.

They stayed there with me for at least five minutes, given the duration of video I took. Just chilling, watching me, interacting a little. It was just us - nobody else approached. Until eventually they chose to go do their own thing, and I sat there in awe for a while.

It’s worth it to wait, when you can.

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.

happy wip wednesday!! here's another dc wip/doodle dump :D

[valtsv]

every so often i just think about how good it was that the most foolproof one-size-fits-all solution for dealing with basically any horrifyingly evil supernatural monster of the week in the magnus archives was just. burying them in concrete. like yeah i can believe that a few tons of grey brutalist slop would stop the wolfman or pretty much anything in its tracks to be honest. they use that shit on nuclear waste. do you honestly think you're stronger than a nuke? a fucking nuke?

bring back zooterkins, the best 17th-century swear word

I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.

(I'm sorry)
