personal comic about being sad

[purplecatbus]

[Image description: a six panel black and white comic, featuring a person with short hair, glasses, and a red sword impaled through their chest.

Panel 1: A person sitting on a couch with the sword through their chest, and a caption reading “If I sit really still I barely feel it.”

Panel 2: The person in a crowd of shadowed figures, holding a drink and talking with the sword viewed poking through the middle of their back. Caption reads, “But it’s awkward”.

Panel 3: The same figure climbing a cliffside, wincing as the sword is pressed in further as it is trapped between their body and the cliffside. Caption reads, “Moving hurts”.

Panel 4: The figure is crouched in pain on the ground, a shadowed figure looking on in concern as they grasp the end of the sword, captioned, “And trying to get it out hurts more.”

Panel 5: The figure looks at the sword in the mirror as it sparkles, captioned, “Sometimes I admire how it looks in me”.

Panel 6: The figure is crouched on the ground and grasping the handle of the sword in both hands, and the caption reads, “But I’d rather be able to move again.” /end ID]

you know when you’re in america when your training modules for being an assistant preschool teacher have how to clean toys on one page and how to respond to a school shooting on the next

[lumberjackloverboy-moved]

babies. i have to take a class on how to protect infants, small defenseless innocents that have nothing but good to give to the world, from a school shooter. i have to learn how to keep a 6 month old quiet when gunshots are ringing out in the next room. i have to learn how to hide a room full of babies just woken from naptime by a murder with a gun, how to hold them and rock them and pray they don’t cry and let a shooter know where we are. god bless america

I hope you all fall in love with someone who never stops choosing you and I hope you feel at home when you look at them ♡

probably no one else finds this funny and I’m driving away my friends a fraction of a percent at a time every time I do it, but I think the height of comedy is when you react to an emoji with the same emoji in a chat medium that permits this

“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”

why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?

I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

[aliiiiiiice]

everyone else is like "oh we gotta stay inside the most secure places possible and never leave" and I'll be storming through the wastelands in my bloodstained suit of armor, blasting the Doom (2016) OST and plowing my way through waves of the undead. one of them tries to bite me but his shitty rotting teeth don't even leave a dent in my armor before I turn his head into paste. I'll be unstoppable until I die of dehydration or something like an idiot

[earlgraytay]

this goes along with my other pet peeve about zombie apocalypse stories, namely: why does no one ever think to ride a bike? 

bikes are quiet- if the zombies react to loud noises, they won’t hear you on a bike the way they might hear you in a car. bikes don’t need gas, meaning you won’t be stranded if you run out. bikes are much, much easier to maintain than a car- there’s no computer that can short out, no fiddly engine bits that could kill you if you mess with them wrong. you can learn how to maintain a bike with a couple weeks’ worth of classes. almost every adult knows how to ride a bike, and without cars on the road, it’d be much safer to do. 

what i’m saying is
