okay can i just say that in the church scene when Brenda tells Thomas: "you sort of have this problem where you can't walk away from people. Even when you should".

And even though Brenda hadn't witnessed all that happened in the Glade, Thomas' character story started like that: he couldn't be detached from studying his friends like Teresa was, so he had to erase his memory and try to save them in a Maze and through WCKD. He couldn't let Alby and Minho die in the Maze, so he spent the night in it (and his actions build the plot of the story), nor he wanted to let go of Chuck for the way he felt responsible for him. And let's remember how guilty he felt when Winston died in the Scorch. Even though he was the Greenie who new them the least.

He dies everytime someone sacrifices for him, that's his unspeakable pain. Anyone who knew him would have done the same, devotedly. And his biggest support was from Newt, of course. A broken boy who had given up on life and was already infected by the Flare; but that didn't matter: "didn't think it would make any difference". "You know we can still fix this Newt" Thomas' heart breaks. "No matter what the cost" is Newt's declaration of sacrifice, he'd rather take his last moments to save Minho than to find a cure to save himself. So he stood by Tommy all the time. "You can't give up, I won't let you". "But from that moment you ran into the Maze, I knew I would follow you anywhere. And I have. We all have."

The point is that, the same day Brenda reminded Thomas of his "problem", he acted on her suggestion. He let go. The way he grimaces before he stands up... He let go of Newt, laying on the floor, his friends' eyes astonished. Brenda's say "It's not your fault", she knows. But Thomas' only convey guilt and sorrow, and a huge amount of strength to keep fighting for them, and for Newt. Thomas walked away to finish the mission; just like Newt would've wanted.

well this is just me rambling about the whole point of the movies and Thomas' main character's importance....

But let me know if you have thoughts to add or counter, i'll be happy to follow!!! 🎀

Happy one year anniversary ISAT! To celebrate I wanted to share the lil strips I made for my friends when they reached the end of the game! They're all meant to be snippets of life post game and a glimpse into the world I'm making for Loop.

FYI every purchase of any of The Adventure Zone music on Griffin McElroy's Bandcamp will be entirely donated to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund for the rest of 2023. His music is set at 'name your price', and the McElroys are also going to match the donations.

If you've listened to even a bit of any TAZ campaign, you surely know what a fantastic musician Griffin is, and there is no better time to purchase his music than now.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006)

Just a reminder that Israel was built, by design, on ethnic cleansing.

hi gang. reminder that we are some of the best sweaters in the animal kingdom (second only to equines) allowing us to stay cool and keep moving in hot weather. we have 10 times the density of sweat glands compared to other great apes.

we are ALSO insanely good at smelling rain (specifically geosmin, found in the soil and activated by rain) with the ability to smell 10 parts per trillion. this is speculated to have helped our ancestors survive!

we ALSO have absolutely batshit diets compared to most other animals. caffeine and chocolate are completely toxic to most animals but we can eat it without even feeling sick. even avocados are severely toxic to many animals to the point where it can be fatal to eat, but humans love it!!!

we are ALSO the best endurance runners ON EARTH out of ANY other species. we beat horses in endurance running. you know, the animals that gradually evolved away most of their toes in order to be the best runners?? yeahhh.

and to top it all off. our lifespan is unusually long for our species' weight/mass. typically, the bigger a species is, the longer its average lifespan (e.g. weasels live for 1-2 years, whales can live over 200) but we're very small for how long our average lifespan is. big cats like tigers live around 14-15 years, brown bears 25 years, yet here we are expected to live around 75-85 years. that is NUTS.

humans as a species are so extremely cool. it's not just our intellect that makes us amazing. we may not be the fastest or the strongest in the animal kingdom but we're super cool in many other ways. next time you sweat you can go wow!!! humans are so cool I'm able to keep moving because of my absolutely insane number of sweat glands! thank you evolution!

Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.

poor gale :'(

- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly

- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!

- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)

- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)

Having depression is not a choice, every person dealing with this will find a lot of factors around them debilitating. Saying things like "you're always focusing on the negative", only adds to the problem. If you can't empathize, then keep your judgments to yourself.

I just want to make it clear not every artist are the same(like Bam magic! NEWART) when it comes on making art please be mindful what you ask, and be respectful and be patient, I have things to do too irl and mental health issue. I really love making art frfr and take my time while making it. I hope you understand thank you. ^^
