god i love jealous scully every time mulder makes eye contact with a hot lady in the first 5 minutes of an episode i start rubbing my little fly hands together and saying β€œeh heh heh heh heh” in an exaggerated manner

i didn’t think i had alexithymia but i started crying out of nowhere on wednesday and only THURSDAY realized i was perhaps very sad. had to go on a full emotional archeological dig just to figure out what the fuck was going on. sobbing β€œi think i’m sad but i have no idea why”

- vaccines took me out for two days - next two days i suddenly couldn’t walk because of a random tendonitis flare - next day, surprise emotional collapse wtf - felt a lot better today but then i suddenly had to take a family member to urgent care and take care of them lmao (they’re ok, just pain)

just two hours of being asked things like β€œare you… lonely?” and thinking about it for a second to see if the idea made me cry or not. fucking absurd. i am normally quite good at understanding my feelings and where they’re coming from but i was absolutely blindsided. VERY strange. and annoying!!

prior to this, the only things that hinted at me maybe Having a Feeling were that i was very tired, struggling with work/focus, more impatient than usual, back pain, and my stomach was upset for a few days.

bro, the realization that a platonic friendship can be just as intimate as anything romantic, only there are no extra incentives to stay nor significant material consequences to leaving, and yet they choose to be there anyway for the sole desire of knowing you another day? such a trip, honestly

i’ll never get over the phrasing β€œjust friends” and β€œmore than friends” bro do you not see how exquisitely pure this love is bro do you not understand that for someone to see your true self unclouded by lust or duty and to love you anyway is an extraordinary gift bro there is nothing just about it

Behold! The first 8 pages of Pip & Gunko, my ongoing comic about a pair of sweet idiots who become instant best friends through the power of bickering and threats of affection. It's presented in short episodes with weekly page updates. you can follow it at pipandgunko.com! #pipandgunko #comic

the biggest sign that i’m super off-kilter this week (other than the random waves of crushing despair for no discernible reason, like that gif of paul rudd at the computer going β€œ[scrunch] ok i’m ok now”) is that i’ve been sucking ASS at daily orbs many days in a row and it’s making me SO SO SO MAD.

stooping to the level of making stupid reels for instagram in exchange for attention and the prospect of sales πŸ˜” don't worry at least they're going to be bad even though i have the required skill to make them reasonably good
