So it wasn’t published until 1989, but I feel like several members of the ST youth would have strong emotions about Magic’s Pawn by Mercedes Lackey. (And the other two Vanyel books)

Fully canon gay relationship with magic and soulmates and magic horses. Revenge and love and parental distance and parental improvement and blood feuds and homophobia and hope through the darkness and calamity and sacrifice and giving everything you have even though you might not come back at all and doing it anyway because of love.

And a thousand more pieces but. Either pretend it came out sooner or let them find it in a future fic, but jeez. Most all of them would cry.

#mercedes lackey #I’m rereading some of them #arrows currently #and it hit me how hard Eddie would cry #and will #and honestly robin and Steve #oh and el #all for different reasons #but man #if Steve found it first #and Eddie found him crying #and then he reads it #and now they’re both crying #luckily M Lackey writes wicked fast #but the next two books just means new kinds of crying

If you had the chance to go to any dance studio you wanted, the location wouldn't matter/be a factor in the decision, which dance studio would you like to go to and why?

#i can't really decide but my top three would be larkin the rock and p21 #all for different reasons #i think larkin produces incredible technical dancers from a very young age #the rock because even though they're all incredibly well trained they all have something unique and different about their dancing #and p21 because i'm a jazz girly at heart

I've grown up with the internet first starting to become a more regular thing for households, and for texting to become more commonplace and for us to have cell phones when I was in high school, and I've lived through this long enough to go from "It's not harder at all to communicate over text" to "WHY IS IT SO HARD TO COMMUNICATE OVER TEXT????"

What's difficult about it? Body language truly does say a lot, as does tone of voice. We also usually don't assume the worst of someone when you're in person with them and can see one another's faces. Not that humans don't have fights in person over miscommunications with people they know, but there seems to be less of an issue with strangers on this matter. Either you have a pleasant conversation, or you try to disengage and remove yourself from the situation. It is really only ever text that I have regularly seen--and also done--huge leaps in logic where one person says something with the intention of a neutral tone and then another person assumes malicious intent or some slight against them.

There are ways we can try to mitigate the lack of information. Some people use tone indicators, but those are neither widely used nor widely understood. Emojis exist, but I have several friends who just don't use emojis very much because it doesn't totally mesh with their style (whereas I am an emote FIEND on Discord). There's the basic decency of checking in with someone when they've said something that kneejerk offends you but sounds out of character.

I genuinely think the internet lowers our inhibitions, and that's not entirely bad. I think in ways it's been especially good for people who are neurodivergent. I've had really deep talks with strangers online that have been great for us being vulnerable, because there's no expectation of us ever seeing each other or necessarily talking again. And it can be really nervewracking to be watched while you're putting your thoughts together. But this also comes with the downside of us acting impulsively--whether it be that ragey tweet you throw at a stranger or assuming the worst of your friends and acquaintances. And it's easier to ignore the judgment of onlookers when you throw out a comment online and can immediately check out compared to being in a physical space baiting a fight.

I don't think humans are meaner now than we were pre-internet, but I do think there are more avenues making it easier to be mean. (And various companies reward you for it with more eyes on your content.)

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.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

they should go on a fishing trip pt.1

#DONT COMMENT ON THE BACKGROUND I KNOWWWWWWWWWWWW #anyway this is day 1. they take a bus. the bakugo household has fishing gear so ´deku is wearing bakugo's onesoe (?) and bakugo is wearing #his dad's. and notices he has grown :') #anyway they take a BUS and don't feel like doing this at all it's awkward for so many reason #also trying to relax after everything is neurologically just really hard they might be hyperivgilant dik #and there's so much they never got to unpack bnut they have to and they have to start somewhere and with someone #deku makes that flower crown while bakugo preps everything and they both look at it and are thrown back into their childhood 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️ #and at first they just sit and wait for the bavarian fish to bite (rody should make a cameo tbh) but then bakugo breaks the iceeee. #and he starts with their moms because their moms have been such a stubbron connection between these two :') #and deku answers with the usual 'good :) how's your mom :)?' and to everyone's surprise he actually opens up #and tells deku about his mom's insomnia because she watched her son die (that shit was live streamed tpo 10 bnha tweets btw) #idk i love to think of their moms being a very easy subject to connect through i think it's easier for them that way to be more vulnerablei #and then some fish biteeeeeeeeeeee #but like 3 small ones so they have to gather berries and mushrooms and make stew (dw there's an aldi this is bavaria after all) #but yeah day 1 is a bit weird like it's just them in the woods with no distractions #which is so different from whatever went on during their 1st year of high school #don't read this i will throw up i just need this somewhere this is my public scrapbook #bnha #deku #midoriya izuku #bakugo katsuki #the flower crown on their knees makes this a bit homosexual but fishing is always homosexual im not fighting against that #au: #fishing
