#that would be a NIGHTMARE

"holy shit i'm glad no one likes me enough to notice me" i think as i watch another long-term mutual get plagued with thousands of angry notes because of something trivial

So let’s say, Worst Case Scenario, my book publishing endeavors make me known by so much as 12 people on the internet. Exactly enough for one of y’all to make the connection and find out who I am. Let’s say that happens.

I need everyone to swear right now that they will never breathe a word of it because if the world finds out about my Linked Universe Fanfiction Mental Breakdown Blog, it’s all over.

And there's my May collection of prompt fills, safely archived away for easy finding. All the authors behind each prompt are credited (and have the prompt in question) linked at the beginning of each chapter.

These were all actually pretty fun to do! So I'll probably have a June collection by the end of that month, knowing me lol. And then a July one. And then an August...

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.

i think whatever the next "social media" is in howeverr many years after all the current ones finally fall apart i think every person should have a dedicated timeline for like, posts your friends want you to see. like you know how youll see a post and be like "i have GOT to send this to greg" so you send it to greg or tag it #greg but what if there was like. a dedicated greg timeline that all of gregs friends could add posts to. and then greg wakes up in the morning and gets a timeline full or good or maybe bad posts tailored specifically to him. anyways that's what i think ^_^

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one
