A Master Class In Menace. It's So Light And Lovely, But We KNOW...

soooooo we all agree that @contact-guy has completely altered our brain chemistries, yes?

Hello Witcher fans, may I offer you my dumb doodles from the last month or so

To be fair, in her universe 'deceased' basically means 'temporarily unavailable.'

This panel is awesome because not only is it one of the like… 2 references we get to JPV post his Azrael #100 death that show anyone else has noted in any way that the guy kicked the bucket

But it’s also like, comically redundant to write a big red “deceased” label over his head instead of Babs just… removing him from her active back up roster.

"an explanation, but never an excuse," as my mother would say.

Since the OP made their post unrebloggable (and blocked me. Both actions they are well in with their right to do)

I'm going to make my response it's own post because I think the point is important

-

As someone who is autistic and has BPD and CPTSD and loads of trauma yes you sometimes need to change how you interact with others to keep people around

When I was 13 I hit the few friends I had when I was angry

I had to change that in order to keep those friendships

When I was in my early 20s if I was losing an disagreement with my husband I would threaten to kill myself. My husband told me it hurt him and was cruel and manipulative behaviour, because it was.

So I worked hard to change that to keep my relationship

It's easy to say "I shouldn't have to change for others" and that's true to an extent. You shouldn't change your interests or passions or dim your light. And you should have space to be imperfect and flawed and not have to pretend your ugly bits aren't real. But if something you are doing it causing other people harm you kinda need to change that.

That's called "living in a society"

People adapt to each other and make space for each other in their lives. You adapt to them and they adapt to you

You start being more diligent about throwing away the empty toilet roll because it really bothers them. They start warning you before they run the blender because you hate loud noises

I stopped threatening to kill myself because I was mad I was losing an argument and my husband stopped being so vocally judgemental amount media he personally dislikes

There is a certain type of person who heard the phrase "your emotions are valid" and took that to mean "my emotional reactions and my behaviour are always objectively correct because my emotions are valid and if you have an emotional response or react to what I'm doing negatively then you are wrong and you can't be hurt because my emotions are valid"

And that's a recipe for disaster

Your emotions are valid to feel. They are how you feel and there are reasons you feel the way you do

However, your reactions and behaviour are something you can learn to control and can be irrational

We live in a society and we as people change each other as we interact and that isn't necessarily a bad thing

This, this right here, is what I love about their early dynamic . The vibe is very much 'firefighter saving a vicious struggling feral cat from a burning building.'

Who’s gonna save him if we don’t?

Folks, backup your Tumblrs, for real this time

Well, it's not any weirder than the tax dodging art scene IRL XD

Real Reasons Dragons Hoard Gold

Tax evasion scheme

There are no other options

The king's entire army is unable to stop this dragon from taking all the gold

And then the taxman comes along

"Oh no, I would tell you my assets, but they're all in the lair of a dragon. Guess you'll have to mark me as having no money and deserving of a significant tax cut!"

Then the taxman leaves, and what happens?

The King finds a bunch of adventurers and tells them to fight the dragon

And suddenly the dragon- who need i remind is superintelligent, an archmage, strong enough to tear a giant in half and took down an entire nation's military not last month?

"Oh no! I cannot defeat five traumatized weirdos! I am slain! I guess you'd better take all this gold back to the king"

And all is well until next tax season when Oh No! The dragon has "somehow" revived and has taken all the gold again!

Someone needs to expose this, guys. This is why we still have medieval tech after 3000 years- all the funding's vanishing into unlisted dragon accounts.

Worst pun I've seen in at least a week, all hail all praise. Best I could've done was say they were slated for love, I need to up my game.

I actually can't survive without one on my wrist; I have one of those brains that lacks a time sense and it's the only way for me to get my brain to understand where I am in the day. The little numbers exist in a vacuum; they tell me nothing. Notches let me count how far I am from noon and midnight, two states of being my brain understands to exist separate from the nebulous reality of 'past' and 'future.' "It is 3 o'clock" said in a vacuum might as well be "it is Orange pm EST," but if I look at my watch I can see that it is three units of time roughly equal to three 20minute tvshow episodes past noon, halfway until the time designated for dinner, which is halfway to midnight from the time when the sun is directly overhead. This may possibly make me an outlier to the analogue/digital debate, but I do own a watch that has 24 hours as well so there's that.

i'm old enough to have been taught how to read analog clocks in elementary school. i was never good at it. i wore analog watches for years and didn't get much better at it even though i look at my watch several times an hour.

i don't understand why people get so pissed about newer generations ditching analog clocks. am i stupid? what would we be missing out on without them?

Either yes, because extinct deer cannot punch, or DEER GOD NO because that ton-and-a-half terror-elk somehow learned fist fighting

your icon punches you in the face do you survive
