Damn tumblr won’t let me format this better 😞 Wanted to flesh out an interaction between these two so have a sketchy lil comic 💁🏻
you WISH you were eating sweet mulberries from a stranger’s overgrown tree at twilight in a silent neighborhood
my first ever comic I ever tried to work on: Saltberg
Eddie is a sophomore in rural west Texas town called Saltberg. Saltberg, a town with a population of 1,642 and counting, where everyone knows everyone's business and people avoid the outskirts after dark. He's just trying to survive being a highschool loser until he graduates and moves away from the Podunk little town that he's known all his life, when he learns he isn't as human as he thought. There's a supernatural war on the brink of boiling over in Saltberg and it seems like no one's escaping this one unscathed.
Once I finish my superhero comic I'll revisit this wip but for now more concept art ahhaha
Character Line Up
Eddie and Buddy as kids! :}
and it was originally Saltberg, Utah (i've since changed it to Texas)
The incident where Eddie got his scar!
and my attempt number seven to try and rough draft my comic
writing a garbage essay feels like you’re the cow who gave birth to the two headed calf. in the morning, my professor will wrap him in newspaper and dissect him on a cold operating table. but here he is alive, under the pale glow of my computer screen. he is beautiful. there are twice as many logical fallacies as usual.
any of these could fix me. rb for sample size or write in the tags what u chose or whichever
Promise you'll treat me like a dog with a bite history and you're the last white girl with a savior complex on earth

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!
The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.
This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.
Here is a short and easy video showing this in action
The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.
You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.
If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!
I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.
If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!
It’s the no-internet dinosaur’s birthday!!
Turn off your internet! He has a hat!!
