I want a story about a king whose son is prophesied to kill him so the king is like “whatever what am I supposed to do, kill my own kid wtf is wrong with you” so he just raises him as normal, doesn’t even tell him about the prophecy, and instead of some convoluted twist of events that leads to the king’s murder the son grows up and when the king is very old and dying and in excruciating pain the kid is just like alright I'mma put him out of his misery.

The king’s son becomes the new king, and is prophesied to defeat evil and bring an age of prosperity. His generals and knights all crack their knuckles but he pretty much ignores them and focuses on strengthening the infrastructure of his kingdom. Forty years later he is old and sick but still hearing his subjects’ grievances, and a general’s like “how will you defeat the prophesied evil now? You’re old and weak.” Another visitor, a teenager fresh out of the kingdom’s public education system, looks at the general like he is an ignoramus. The king eradicated poverty, housed the homeless, taught the ignorant, ended class exploitation by abolishing the nobility and imprisoning the corrupt, and established a highly respected guild of doctors that recently figured out how to cure the plague. There are no brigands because there is enough wealth for everyone to live comfortably; hiding in the woods and taking trinkets from people simply doesn’t make any sense for anyone but the desperate, and the people are not desperate. Evil is a weed, explains the teenager. It grows in cracked roads and crumbling houses and forgotten corners, rooted in indifference and watered by suffering. But the king demands that broken things be mended and suffering people be made well.

No evil lives in this kingdom, says the teenager. It starved to death before I was born.

Undo the Damage of Sitting

(Technically, this isn’t about saving your hands… but if you draw, you’re probably doing a lot of sitting, so…)

Srsly tho as a writer and illustrator- these exercises are just as important as your hand ones and will save you. So much pain.

pigeon pose is not only great for opening tight hips, it can help loosen the piriformis muscle, which is often responsible for sciatic pain down the leg.

besides using a table, you can also do this on the side of your bed, sitting with the ankle on the opposite knee, lying on your back in the same way, or on the floor as in the original yoga position.

here’s a video that guides you through proper technique and variations on the pose if you’re not able to do the above stretch.

and here’s another video on pigeon modifications aimed at helping fat people safely and comfortably get into the pose(s).

remember not to push yourself to the point of real pain! if it goes from “oh damn that’s a good stretch, it’s tight but it mostly feels good” to “ow ow oh fuck ow” then you’ve gone too far and you need to back off to an easier variation. try to practice regularly and you’ll make progress before you know it.
