#i missed this a lot

[ask-cueball]

Welcome back, after such a long hiatus, to Ask Cueball: Arc 2!!

As you can see, I decided to return to Tumblr! I am also going to set up a Cohost and possibly a Pillowfort for the comic as well - however they aren't up quite yet, as I'm actually away from home on a large trip and will be until the end of the month. Normally I would wait until things are less hectic to post, especially since I haven't decided on a new schedule (I work Saturdays now, so it's not a feasible schedule anymore), but today is also the 4th anniversary of Ask Cueball, and I felt there would be no better time than now to bring us back! It's been in the works for a long time, so I hope you enjoy what I have in store.

And, HAPPY 4 YEARS!!

(P.S. - the Discord server is now open to the public again! The old link should still work, and I'll have a pinned post up by tomorrow that will have the link as well. Feel free to stop in!)

reconnecting with someone you missed dearly and being able to just. joke and laugh like you used to is honestly one of the best feelings in the world

Blue Star from Lobotomy Corporation?

BLUE STAR FROM LOBOTOMY CORPORATION

from @readysetgargoyle

Design: 7/10 - I really like this design! I read a little about lobotomy corporation and blue star, and I think that's its really cool that it's just a floating heart. All the legs from people it's sucked in and (presumably) killed surrounding it like a shell? Literally perfection. The reason for the 7/10 is just because I think it's a little lacking. Maybe different skin tones, brusies, cuts, and even rotting skin and maggots on the legs could help to bring some variance and life to the design!

Purpose/Design: 9/10 - I've never played lobotomy corp., but I did read the wiki! It seems like a management/simulator game to me?? With blue star generating good things for you, but with a high risk. From its attack description, it seems like hell to deal with if it breaches containment.

I love high risk high reward things in games, and this is no different:)

Overall: 8/10 - wait why's it called blue star if it's shaped like a heart

a change of muses / human experience

there are no stars connecting us, not an otherworldly force at hand. i am here of my own volition, we are uniquely human.

you make me understand things a bit better. i have known the worst of my time here, a window is opened to the best. the breeze is warm, the light is yellow.

summer a step away, right outside the door, with you comes the seasons, with you comes change. i will connect the stars for us.

my synesthesia dulled a lot in 2021 when my long ass depressive episode happened and it just came back to full strength like a few weeks ago and it’s been so weird having full vivid sensory profiles for my friends in my head again

[pixeldinostorytelling]

I ran!! it happened!! the app worked (mostly, set it to 15 minutes and seems it's aiming for 30-ish so I'll continue the mission tomorrow) and I'm back into "ah yes oh no everyone's fucked up" mode.

legit felt so good, even though I once again lost all shape I may have gained recently.

More of the Silco survives AU! This is part three. Part 1 and Part 2

The girls learn the truth and Silco gets a taste of a monster

I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.

If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone FROM YOUR BODY chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?

Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.

Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.

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.

It's my 14 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

And with this I announce my return to tumblr!

Do I even still have followers? Probably not. If I somehow do, hey everyone :) I believe I have a lot of catching up to do. Hope you are all well, and sorry I've been gone for so long.

I will most likely be reintegrating myself here rather slowly. Being back on here has been a plan of mine for awhile now, yet I still feel...quite raw. It will take some time for me to get used to this again. But I am very much looking forward to it!

The mercs and cute semi-aquatic creatures :) [left to right: otter, muskrat, seal, tapir, beaver, capybara, puffin, platypus, mink, pygmy hippo]

I only plan for semiaquatic mammals, but i couldnt find one that fits medic, so he gets a bird

Scout: Otters are sleek, fast and cool Soldier: I want something similar to raccoons. Muskrats are also native to north AMERICA! Pyro: I think he would like seals. They are round and look huggable Demo: Tapir in japanese folklore are said to eat nightmares. For someone who passes out a lot, i think it's a good fit. Engineer: Beavers can build Heavy: Capybara is square-shaped and chill Medic: I think he would like any types of aquatic birds. I pick puffins cause they are cool! Fly, swim, dive, burrow, they can do anything! Sniper: Pretty predictable lol. Platypuses are australia native Spy: Mink. Small yet a deadly hunter

SNIPER THE PLATYPUS??!?!?

Apparently this needs to be said so

Forgetting things is morally neutral! Memory issues are morally neutral!

You're not a bad person if you...

forget things quickly

forget people

can't remember entire stages of your life

can't remember important things

can remember some things very well and forget other things all the time

can't remember things (or anything!) about your interests

forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc

forget to reply to texts

remember things and immediately forget them again

can't remember birthdays, events, etc

frequently answer 'I forgot' to questions

can't retain new information

forget things you used to know

only remember things when it's too late

have vague, distorted and/or unreliable memories

depend on others to know how an event you were in played out

have other symptoms that are worsened by memory issues and vice versa

... and anything else I might have missed!

Remember how Miss Pauling said she'd spent her whole life to help the administrator....

She didn't even know what she was helping with, but she wanted to be by her side, until she learned how deeply personal and self destructive the whole thing was... and in the end there never was going to be a 'place' set for her :^(

I'm so sorry Flo 😭
