I had this dumb idea going ‘round in my head so I let it out as a quick comic.

#Hazbin hotel #radioapple #hazbin alastor #hazbin lucifer #hazbin hotel comic #hazbin hotel fanart #lucifer morningstar #hazbin hotel alastor #flower meanings from my copy of The language of Flowers by Mandy Kirkby #except the lily. I already knew that one #felt like something Alastor would do while ‘playing nice’#I’m not a flower expert so the comparative sizing might be off #so if they are let’s just say they can grow like that in hell…#click for better quality

lighthearted.

if this comic resonated with you, please consider donating to this palestinian escape fund (vetted by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein) as it is less than $7,000 away from it's goal.

i turn 24 today. To celebrate, I made this comic to be a spiritual successor to lead balloon, a comic in which I talked about the darkest period of my life so far.

A lot has changed since my 23rd birthday and this one. My priorities have shifted a lot, in ways that I think are mostly good. But i think the best part about today is that suicide has gone back to being a far away notion. I'm really lucky, and I'm grateful for that.

#yet another largely personal comic that kind of only has real impact to maybe four people #it's crazy what a difference a few months makes #and a trip to the beach that makes you glad you're still alive.#the last page is just me drawing my friends and I as our respective art sonas #credit to my best friend for inventing the designs #i keep copying their shit but its their fault for always having good ideas #ugghhh i love the people in my life so much and im so thankful for them #one of my friends gave me a vintage camera for my birthday #im going to take so many photos i could paper my walls with them #thank you for reading #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

Hello neurodivergent people. I was wondering if I'm just weird or it is common to not being able to learn certain motoric skills at the same time as my peers and learned them MUCH later

#poll #a friend of mine only learned to ride her bike in her 20s #i didnt manage to snap my fingers until i was like 18 #i still cant reliably whistle or swim #i was a latebloomer with almost everything that involves having to copy someones physical movement #pretty sure i was the last one to learn to tie my shoes in kindergarten #oops i forgot the option for 'nope' sorry lmao

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.
