#might just be a me thing

[void-of-lazyness-and-cats]

So 20 hours in and I'm finally out of the first area

(well really 19 hours and 52 minutes but who's counting)

Some highlights include:

Karlach booking it through the blighted village downing every health potion she looted from her dead companions trying desperately to survive. With no weapon because I threw her axe away like 6 turns ago and forgot to pick it back up

Wyll constantly falling flat on his ass because I keep forgetting grease is a thing(sorry wyll)

That one lady kidnapped by the hag dying seconds after berating me for saving her cuz she walked right into the spikes I put down earlier. Whoops.

A rat encouraged me to steal

Lae'zel wont stop propositioning me

Desperately picking fights around the edges because I'm only a couple hundred xp off from level 5

Saying fuck it and taking on the outside goblin camp after I'd already killed their leaders for aforementioned XP purposes

Finding shovel(my beloved)

Gaining fun forbidden necromancy secrets from a neat book

And trying(and failing) to romance gale:(

So far I've been enjoying it, tho I definitely suck at the combat part

er'rybody talks aboot how falling in love is so nice and happy and pleasant uwu nobody tells you that it could also leave you in bed with a pounder of a headache because you got so dissociated and nearly threw up when you realized you caught feelings

Sometimes I genuinely forget my age. For two years I accidentally kept telling people I was 23 and now that I am actually 23 I keep slipping up and thinking I'm 26. You would think this has to do with me either feeling old or like I should be more mature but no I'm pretty sure my ADHD ass just is so bad at the concept of time that I forget that I forget that nope, I do not actually exist 3 years in the future.

i find the concept of leaving something behind like art, whether is it digital or traditional (in case of drawings/paintings), to be remembered by especially beautiful, same goes to gifting someone an art piece made by your own hands, like personally i would immediately fall in love if someone did that for me (excluding family members Lmao)

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.

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

[pen-of-roses]

Do y'all ever think about how cool it is that art inspires other art inspires other art inspires other art in an endless cycle

[herd-reject-arts]

So I'm leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this

Just like... a whole ass hawk. Dude's gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it's just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn't budge. And there's only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.

So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn't moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I'll talk to them, so I'm just like, "Hey, man. I don't know you. You don't know me. This feels really threatening. I'm just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You're a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I'd appreciate if you didn't, ok?"

It didn't move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I'm as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn't going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead

Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just... there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

this is the dynamic they have going on in my head.

ENG PLAYERS I BESEECH YOU

I have been informed that you guys are getting part 4 of episode 7 tomorrow, which means we are FINALLY going to get the official romanization of Revaan's name, somebody please tell me because I need to know what it is.

like, yes, it's probably just Revan/Levan, but look, I'm sitting here with my finger over the button of all these Laverne and Shirley jokes and just waiting for the opportunity to deploy them --

It's essential to teach them color theory when they're young so they understand how to mix colors. How else will you get art that's good enough for the fridge?
