#I say all this

[monty-glasses-roxy]

I had the vibe that Glamrock Bonnie was a bit of a magician but ya know what? After looking at that blue jellybean in spandex, that vibe has essentially been slaughtered.

Your honour, that is a himbo that would break his feet several times learning how to juggle bowling balls to impress a guy. This is a chill guy that has never had a thought in his life. This guy roleplays superheroes and treasures every action figure he's ever been in possession of. You're telling me this guy can do card tricks? No. Absolutely not. He might think he can do card tricks, but he's never once succeeded. Can juggle pins with ease but just as likely to drop one on his nog as he is to juggle twelve of them flawlessly for ten minutes straight. A walking highlighter. A disaster. Used the bowling lane grease on the regular floors to try and make an ice rink. Heart of Fuck You. The serial cheat vibes are still there but he's now a Mazercise regular and can stand on his head. A rabbit that will lose his absolute shit over glowsticks. Fucks his hair up on purpose to piss off management. Will sit there on the floor and stare at nothing for hours on end, no thoughts, head empty.

You cannot tell me this guy hasn't got lost in his own fucking bowling alley before.

please may we hear your trans Adam headcanons he really means so much to me <3333

HELLO YES ??? I love being insufferable !!1!!1?!

okay this man can NOT afford top surgery. look at him in his self proclaimed shit-hole apartment. He's buying vegetarian ramen because it's cheaper and buys the worst binders because they cost the least. this also means sock packers.

His layered button up over his baggy shirts is not only a fashion statement, he is actively attempting to cover up the binder straps. Most of his shirts will either have smaller neck holes or he'll layer it so nobody can see the damn thing.

He's definitely stealth. Nobody knows and he likes it that way. In my head he gets upset if anyone "figures him out", in a really defensive way. Less than favorable reactions to him coming out in the past (when he was younger and couldn't be stealth yet), so he immediately becomes defensive and almost angry over the topic. Unhealthy, but his whole "We're both bullshitters" speech makes me think he believes he's lying to everyone about being a guy, and he has to come to the realization that he's not. A LONNNGGG journey of self acceptance and deconstructing negative views on trans people that had been ingrained into him.

Also he is wearing his binder to bed. does NOT follow safety standards in desperate attempts to relieve dysphoria. Such bad imposter syndrome about being a dude when he's literally like that tm.

Adam will wheeze and bitch about how bad his asthma is while a cigarette is in one hand and the other is adjusting the bottom strap of his binder. He plays his asthma off like it's genetic and not because his lungs are being actively killed.

I like to think that, in an ideal world, post saw-trap Adam would come to the conclusion that he can't keep living like this, breathing hard after the briefest amount of effort, so he actually takes breaks from his business and embraces his body as it is. yippie to self love !!

Adam probably feels vaguely jealous that he can't just walk around the house shirtless like an "actual guy" but he has an epiphany and says fuck it and does walk around shirtless. Pre-op trans men not binding my beloved !1!1!1!!!

I think it was my friend who mentioned him doing back street testosterone, mostly as a joke but it stuck in my brain. Drug deals but it's just his T-shots.

Speaking of!! I think he likes needles more than the average dude. Makes him feel more masc that he does his own shots. Keeps the needles a little longer than he should before he throws them out to get rid of the evidence.

I do think his years of awful binding practice bites him in the ass though. But with the right support and self acceptance he doesn't need top surgery to feel valid and real.

Happy pride month, specific shout out to pre-op trans men !!!! we r so so cool I promise

So on Friday, I’m semi sure one of the workers at my train station was flirting with me.

Here’s the story, there’s a tldr at the bottom and in the tags, however I’m probably making a mountain out of a molehill.

My monthly train ticket ran out today, so after work, I go to by my ticket before I go home for the month. Now, I already saw him serving someone else and was hoping he’d serve me, because he cute anyways and he’s served me before, and he does.

I say my lil say in order to get my ticket. This is the interaction:

Him: “Do you want it to start tomorrow?”

Me: “Sure, why not.”

Him: “Well, are you going in tomorrow?”

Me: “No?”

Him turning screen, “Well on you going in on the 7th?” (Sunday)

Me: “No.” Me doing that ‘I know what you’re getting at smile’

Him: “Are you going in then?” (Pointing to 8th)

Me: “No. It’s a bank holiday.” (My small brain forgetting that people still work on bank holidays)

Him: “So your ticket can start there.” (Pointing to the 9th)

Me: “It doesn’t really matter to me, it’s neither here nor there.”

Him: “I’m just trying to save you money.” Please bare this in mind, he has that cheeky chap smile going on.

Me: “How though? It’s still the same price, just starting later”

Him: “Ok. Looks like you got too much money.” Now, this slightly triggered me because my parents also say this whenever I buy anything and the fact that he thought that I pay for a £600 train ticket out of my own pockets?! Insulting

Me: “ Well, my company comps it so it doesn’t matter when I buy it really.”

Him: “Ahhh.” Bit of a pause. “What company do you work for?”

Me: Dumbly tells him the actual company I work for and the industry because I can’t make up lies on the spot when I’m kiki-ing it up with a cutie.

Him: “I’m gonna call them up. Let them know of what you’re doing.”

Me: “Go ahead. I’m not stopping you.”

Then he goes into the professionalism, “would you a receipt” blah di blah di blah. Gives me my smart card, tells me to have a good weekend and sends me on my way.

TLDR: I’m now engaged. The ceremony is next month and you’re all invited

[apollos-boyfriend]

i love oshubble bc at this point she just Knows everything about everyone from sneaking around underground and stuff, but she’s just Too Nice so she hasn’t said anything about it. she’s the most dangerous person on the server and they’re all only spared bc she respects privacy

[whoredmode]

sometimes i think about doing like an ongoing sr comic like that’d be fun but idk what i’d even make it about😭

[archer3-13]

"i mean if we really wanna dig into this, alear by the end of engage [aka where the pact ring is most relevant] is a ghost inhabiting their own dead corpse thats been ressurected multiple times, and somehow this all functionally adds up to them being basically alive again but with a super saiyan form". which makes the whole debate about morality even more stupid, as we could not escape necrophilia anyway so now who cares ?

I mean is it necrophilia if its a jesus resurrection? blasphemy aside, given how the resurrection is presented to us visually on alears part i'd say its able to skirt by necrophilia implications on that alone. i only bring it up, cause as far as i remember how they explain it really just sounds like alears emblem ghost is puppeteering their corpse which opens up a lot of hilarious implications.

like, imagine acting out weekends at burnies but with your own dead body. absolutely hysterical.

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

will forever love ryoko kui for depicting spooky evil laios despite him not actually having a villain arc

like thank you. i needed this. laios would never, and yet we have been fed anyway. ah dungeon meshi, as they say. do you get me.

[official-lucifers-child]

still thinking about the brainrot that fast fashion has caused in people, like i made this pair of pants that are black and white with a cool flowery design, and an acquaintance saw them and said "wow i'd pay like 20 dollars for you to make me a pair" and i could barely think with how utterly horrified i was at that; i told them that 20 dollars wouldn't even cover the materials, let alone the hours of work that went into cutting, sewing, ironing, hemming, altering, etc. they just had this look on their face when i told them that, when i said i wouldn't make them a pair for even 100 dollars because that was still way too low of an amount, a look that said "you're crazy for thinking that those cost 100 dollars" and maybe i am crazy but holy shit, 20 dollars for a pair of handmade, durable, lined pants fitted specifically to your measurements? 20 dollars for upwards of 60 hours of work? 20 dollars for several yards of high-quality fabric, thread, and buttons? 20 dollars???

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

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.
