Frankie: Jill, I’m here.

Jill??

[four days earlier]

Cahill: Alright, here we go. Back when this unit was built, it was part of a bigger system of bunkers and tunnels that led straight to the lab. I opted to keep it that way. Assuming they haven’t boarded it up since, it’s a straight shot to the lower floor of the lab.

Frankie: This has been here the whole time, and you’re only just telling us now?

Cahill: Yeah, well, getting into the lab is only the first hurdle. Once you’re inside, you’ll have to contend with their security system. Armed guards… cameras… and biometric checkpoints. Now, luckily, I can help with some of that. Years ago, when I still worked for the military, I installed a back door in the lab’s security system, allowing me to see and hear what they see and hear. But if you can get me access to their main computer system, I can do a lot more—unlock doors, disable scanners, you name it. As for avoiding the guards, though, we might be out of luck.

Frankie: What if we had a distraction?

Blair: So let me get this straight… you want me to derail the entire show to sic hundreds of party-goers on BioSim Tech? Where they might be shot at, arrested, or who knows what else?

Frankie: If enough people join in, we could overwhelm them. Plus, I was thinking more along the lines of “things got out of control and we had no power to stop it”, you know? Plausible deniability.

Blair: I see… And what’s in it for us?

Frankie: Chaos? Anarchy? A chance to stick it to the man?

Blair: Uh huh…

Frankie: … I’ll give you 100 bucks?

Blair: Hmph. I’ll think about it.

[two days earlier]

Frankie: So Erwin, you and Jill will go in through the tunnel system, get Cahill computer access, and then unlock a door on the outside. I’ll go to this party to signal Blair, and then come meet you.

Jill: And I can use my powers to help too!

Cahill: Absolutely not.

Jill: What? Come on…

Cahill: Your powers were out of control enough to rip open a portal. Who knows what else you might do by mistake. We can’t risk it.

Jill: It’s not fair! I never get to use them…

Erwin: Hey, we’ll get you home soon. Then you can use them all you like!

Jill: Yeah… sure.

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.

having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!

there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

How does Ford react to Fidds taking Stan with him on a creature hunt? A sea based hunt at that.

"Do you miss the time when you used to do no harm?"

Old habits.

Merc behaviour is based on a nice little comment @up-in-flames-writing left on one of my comics :)

Rambling and more silly drawings below.

Loosely based on the Solemn Vow's public blurb:

Art lovers will cherish the bust of Hippocrates, commemorating a time when the Medic still thought doing no harm was a good idea.

I am absolutely convinced that Medic carries dextrose drops with him. German pharmacies throw these after you when you buy anything at all. I went to check if this one specific brand I know of had been around since the 60s and 70s and yes, it was.

Small acts of kindness I can see Medic doing is giving everyone one of these if they are tired. I'm talking about Engineer mostly.

Or they snack on them when solving practical problems together, like during the teleporter bread tumor incident.
