"Stories are supposed to lift people up!"

Untitled, Eat, Shit & Die comic #233 by bpatrick, 2014-03-09.

I am very much in love with this comic, not having found it here I decided to carefully cut it apart and format it in a way tumblr does not compress it to hell and back. It touched me back in 2014, and I hope it will touch some of you, too.

I love murderbot's enduring hate for gurathin. even when it needs to call on gurathin for help it's stubbornly and begrudgingly. like yes you're one of my humans, but you were also the first person it was safe for me to openly hate and that felt so good I'm going to keep doing it forever

Ramblings Of A Lunatic

Only

Remaining time: 6 days 37 minutes

Ramblings of a Lunatic (Bears In Trees)

Maybe this is the result of me finally accepting that I'll be alone forever/That I deserve forgetting It's a pointless endeavor, and maybe it's upsetting/But I've never felt more comfortable in the concept with things ending

“So I first learned about it from a Magnus Archives animatic, but basically it’s about art block and like. We’ve all been there. It’s just a banger and it hits ME right where it hurts, at least.”

Only (Nine Inch Nails)

Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab/And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it's something bad/I just couldn't leave it alone, I kept picking at that scab/It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut, but I climbed through/Now I'm somewhere I am not supposed to be/And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see/And now I know why, now I know/Why things aren't as pretty on the inside.

“There’s just something about the beat that is so hypnotic and the lyrics!!! It makes me insane and at the same time helps me feel less insane when I’m doing bad. I can’t even put into words what those lyrics mean to me, it’s just visceral VIBES. But the way Trent screams “there is no fucking you, there is only me” just MOVES something in me. Also the music video fucks too.”

"autistic genderless aroace cyborg designed to be an efficient security system and living weapon who breaks out of its corporate controls, but instead of getting violent uses its newfound freedom mostly to watch soap operas and half-ass its job" is already an excellent character concept but add on "and it develops an extreme self-sacrificial devotion to people who are nice to it" and it becomes irresistible

I have to put them in a time loop. A time loop will fix them. Surely a time loop will fix them. A time loop has to fix them.

Put them in a time loop. And if that doesn’t work put them in a time loop. And if that doesn’t work put them in a time loop. And if that doesn’t work put them in a time loop. And if that doesn’t work put them in a time loop. And if that doesn’t work

media: we have an anti-authoritarian story for you!

me: sweet hit me with the good stuff

media: so there's this marginalized underclass of people, right?

me: okay

media: and they're like, stigmatized for something that's mostly an aspect of how they are born, or where they're from, or they're badly misunderstood, right?

me: yup, got it, I'm with ya

media: so these people are rebelling against the current social order, because it's the instrument of their suffering

me: oh good great sure

media: but also they're violent and deranged and need to be stopped

me: ...what

media: yeah they're going too far, they're trying to overthrow the system and assassinate the nice cop trying to help them and also they burned down an orphanage

me: ...why? would they burn down an orphanage??

media: extremism is bad

me: still not seeing what this has to do with their fight though???

media: also now they've shot a dog. oops they shot another dog

me: what?! why? I though their motive was to overthrow oppression??

media: yes but their suffering has also made them evil

me: ...???

media: don't worry though, the good guys will defeat them and restore the status quo

me: the status quo that's been killing people?

media: well it turns out it was only killing the kinds of awful people who burn down orphanages and shoot dogs :)

me: oh. this is actually a pro-authoritarian story, isn't it?

media: nooo of course not don't be sillyyyyyy we're super progressive look one of the cops is a black lady don't be sillyyyyyy

Assign an aspect of nature to prev

Waves at the beach

Rushing breeze through leaves

A crack of thunder

Flow of a river

The shine of a gem

Dancing embers of a flame

Torrential rain

Slow falling snow

An emerald sea of grass

Austere cliffside

A maze of roots

The endless oceans
