Suicidal Cryptid

Abled people shouldn’t support disabled people because our innovation can improve their lives. Abled people should support disabled people because not doing so is unconscionably cruel. Because we’re people and deserve equal rights. They should support us even if it inconveniences them because really all that would mean is the removal of their privilege

Can't just ignore the fantastic title of this piece

I, knowing that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, waited carefully for the lab director to be deep in conversation with someone else on the other side of the laboratory. And then I took my chance.

Test tubes, as it turns out, are really bad as shot glasses. Their shape turns any liquid inside into a stream, so you really can't knock it back quickly - it takes a couple seconds. Additionally, the best way I can describe the taste of virus concentrate was "sterile rot". A very unique kind of bad! Made worse by the test tube's inefficiency as a shot glass.

(by the way we were studying bacteriophages, not animal viruses. these viruses are too specialized on attacking prokaryotes to even recognize our cells as targets at all, according to studies.)

(but also like. if the viruses managed to successfully switch hosts and killed me with a violent infection, itd still be worth it.)

1. Art Fight is coming up (and currently happening), and 2. I have the bright idea to work on an OC and create a whole story and want to make a webcomic. I'm dying over here, not being able to draw.

Cults. Ritualistic sacrifices. Grim reapers fighting to keep the balance of life and death from tipping over. A teenager having just the worst time existing.

The MC is a cute loser who gets horribly fucked up by a cult, and his neighbor/friend, the ML, is a reaper who-- well I don't wanna give away too many details. One more detail I will give is there's a slightly scary one-sided pinning from the ML's side <3

I finished this brushbuddy art doll earlier this week and he is very cute. It's got a wire armature inside and is fully posable, including the leather fingers and toes. (There are also magnets in the feet to potentially stick it to things later.)

couldn't find a thread with both the followups together
