Apologies for not updating fics, writing, posting or showing signs of being funny and alive! Im actually very sick and have been needing to work anyways so hopefully Ill be feeling better soon and will be able to interact with all of you amazing mutuals of mine! 馃挅
If you鈥檇 like to keep me company while I heal and recover, I love receiving anons and general ass-hattery fun! 馃グ (Ill have to update you all on the new blorbos I have, they鈥檙e absolutely embarrassing)
I will try to read all anons and dms and answer when I can!
Im so sorry ive been charting things for my book series to prep for the summer (NaNo camp) and ive been so busy with work.
I promise i am not gone i pinkie promise! Im just - very busy atm. I want to write more fan things but i need to get the ball rolling on my own personal projects as well! I am still here 馃挏馃ス im so sorry to have worried any of yall.
As new hyperfixations come about and the old ones rekindle i will be writing them (some art ive seen has sparked my brain again)
"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw
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鈥檛 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鈥檙e always passing urges, but it鈥檚 disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain鈥檚 spent so long thinking only about suicide that it鈥檚 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鈥檓 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.
I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.
It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.
