You've gotta have good biodiversity in your reasons for not killing yourself. Rotate them out like crops when the yield gets low and the soil poor. We're mixing our metaphors. Whatever helps it stick.

You like warm blankets. You like the sound of birdsong. You have a pet that needs taking care of. You have someone to outlive. You have a loved one. You think death would be boring. It's coming for you anyway. Death is patient. When was the last time you had cake? Your favourite musician is going on tour. Or maybe just a halfway decent band at your local bar. You've never seen an elephant. Isn't it amazing that the sky is blue? Aging is a gift not afforded to most. Don't let the bastard grind you down. You can't mend any suffering in the world with your death. You want to see if you can grow herbs on your windowsill. Killing yourself seems like so much effort. What does tiramisu taste like? You're trying to be curious. You're angry and spiteful. What you want more than to die is to rest. This sandwich is so good you don't want to die. Not so long as there are plums to eat and somebody, anybody who gives enough of a damn to haul them to you. A stranger on the internet is holding their hand out and asking.

You haven't finished that book. It's almost strawberry season. There's a chrysalis on the porch that should open soon. There are pastries you've never tried. It's going to be sunny tomorrow. You're going to look very distinguished with gray hair. You have to outlive him. There aren't any easy ways to die. Your package is supposed to arrive on Friday. There are people who will love you that you haven't met yet.

i saw somebody say “what if you’re gone and i haven’t become anything yet” and basically that broke me on a random thursday evening

OP, this is genuinely a masterpiece, three poems in one, moving and well crafted. Please tell me you have submitted it to at least some poetry contests, and if not, please do so.

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

this has been a psa

[nattousan]

i've had this as an idea since 2017 btw

Who are Kreatz and Mauk?

They're characters from the Metroid manga (shown here beside my versions of them)

Kreatz is the little smug one and Mauk is the one who isn't Kreatz. They're part of the broader Galactic Federation - the games don't focus on the non-human factions these days (maybe Prime 4 does but I haven't played it yet). I like the two of them as a connection to the GF for Samus that doesn't directly involve interacting with humans, like a sort of protective 'barrier' for her. Of course there is also Malkovich and Higgs etc but there's more emotional baggage with that side of things.

In the manga these two take some part in the mission to Zebes. I prefer that it's a lone mission for Samus but I still think they're cool characters in the broader lore.

When my boss who's suspiciously teenager shaped and covered in blood tells me in a voice that's totally not a teenage boy talking in the deepest voice he can to go to the treasury to bring him the thing some kids were asking for that he refused to bring them the other day and then says he's going to bring it to his bretheren outside the walls and tells me to follow him, I just do it because I don't get paid enough to deal with this

June 1st is TOMORROW. It means that GAY PEOPLE will exist, but only for ONE MONTH. Do not forget to buy your tickets to see them NOW, or else you will have to wait AN ENTIRE YEAR to be able to meet them AGAIN.
