Glo-stick of destiny

I’ve had some pretty wild depression the past couple years. I’m finally starting to work through it - with art. This is the first piece I’ve made for myself in around ten years, and… yeah.

The “Jason is a wolf in sheep’s clothing” article in the dream sequence is totally fictional. None of my exes ever wrote anything like that. It’s just a recurring nightmare I’ve been having since early 2016. I had thought I’d made that clear in the art and dialog but some folk got confused. The conglomeration of exes represented on the page are kind and wonderful and would never do anything like that. I sincerely apologize, I had thought that was clear in the art/dialog, but I don’t think I did enough there.

I updated the art on the website to clarify it, and I’ll see if I can do so on Tumblr too. Regardless, here’s the updated page:

there is no man alive i’m prouder to call brother.

- leaving the theater after watching a movie

- looking up from reading a book and realizing where you are

- any place that’s open 24 hours (bonus: going to said place in the early hours and hearing both “good evening” and “good morning”)

- playgrounds at night

- arriving for an early morning flight and seeing a deserted airport with most of the shops closed

- dead malls with decor that hasn’t changed since the 90s

- motels of any kind

- stopping at a gas station at night in the middle of nowhere while on a road trip

- grocery stores in small towns

- places meant for children’s birthday parties (especially if you went there as a kid and are now older)

My high school history teacher was shot in the back on campus. Everyone here knows someone who’s been affected by gun violence. Everyone knows someone who’s been affected by healthcare, or lack thereof. Everyone knows someone whose life has been ruined by college debt.

If someone bumps into you you are legally required to yell

“Ei’ um walkin’ ova here”
