Inktober Day 21: Chains

my therapist told me to go read about schopenhaur’s porcupines which this allegory about human intimacy and specifically about how painful it can be to feel to share something together with another human being.

the story is this group of porcupines bracing a winter storm begin to huddle for warmth, but the closer they get the more their quills dig into each other. until separation would have caused them less pain than sticking together.

A few years ago I may have interpreted this as the need to cut toxicity from your life. But today I think it’s actually about the pain and vulnerability of asking for help and relying on others; the difficulties of choosing empathy, choosing to help carry a part of someone else’s struggles even when it hurts you.

While suffering alone may have hurt less for the porcupines, together they are able to survive.

I think the food's gone a bit off... 🍴🍚👻

Devious Dining, the third prompt for Drawtober!

i keep thinking about how we got dan and phil games back but they are both out and ready to be gay as shit now, without having to worry about hiding a big part of themselves. and we got a tv show with a big fandom revolving around a ship and we can all gif it and do fanart and have fun but it’s not queerbait this time. instead, there are middle aged gay pirates kissing on screen and the cast joyfully embraces the fandom without an ounce of judgement. this is like my teenage years but better, more comfortable, more open. we can just enjoy things, be comforted, share our love, but we don’t have to lie to ourselves anymore. sometimes growing up can be lovely
