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.

Heyyyy it’s bad opinion time again.
I’m taking qpr away from the allos until they stop using it as an excuse to put every single character in a relationship. Jesus fucking Christ one of Admins comfort characters is a pretty obvious relationship repulsed person (like. Canonically) and the amount of people who use qpr as an excuse to ship him with his best friend is :/ the allos don’t get qpr anymore until they can fucking accept that people who don’t want to get into any sort of relationship need representation, too. The world is already so couple centric please for the love of god “they marry for tax reasons” They don’t marry at all.

DEEPSEAENERGY SICKFIC WHERE... Where Lloyd gets a cold or a sickly illness where he has to be on bedrest for a while, but it's unfortunate because when he falls into being sick, his oni and dragon genes act like a really violent immune system, so he's basically just miserable and pathetic until he's able to get better...
And the Ninja are just as pathetic because they understand how difficult it is to take care of their sick younger brother, and it's so weird to see him look so miserable, just resting. Fortunately, Benthomaar is there, and not just for moral support. Well, he'd be rather curious on trying to understand the illnesses that befall surface dwellers, especially for Lloyd's case since he's pretty peculiar.
So he gets dragged as part of the Ninja's "Get Well Operation" or something, and he's able to spend a fun, but stressful time with those at the monastery. He also learns that Lloyd can be quite stubborn when it comes to handling medicine.
