Digital drawing of a young Black man with dark skin and shoulder length locs sitting on the window seat of a bus. He's wearing earphones, a black sweater and black shorts, he has a bored expression. There's an older woman sitting next to him, and there's other 2 people standing in the foreground.

[OC] Little drawing of Zayd on the bus : -]. I wanted something to accompany me talking about my comic plans sooo

Right now, my idea for the story would be about Zayd's tedious repetitive life being interrupted by a chance meeting with a small group of queer people that enjoy his company and want to hang out with him, though he can't understand why.

He'll try doing what he thinks will keep them interested in being friends with him, not realizing he's sabotaging himself. Along the way he'll be learning to deal with his depression and untangling his internalized homophobia and self hatred.

I'm super early in the planning process but I like how things are going so far! I've been wanting to write a character dealing with depression for a while.
