4 types of characters I write 1. Depressed gay muppet 2. A literal goddess who has never done anything wrong don’t look into her past too hard (and has depression) 3. Scary Man who is actually a himbo (and is depressed) 4. People who keep my therapist in business (why I have depression)

Artist Paige has a larger-than-life personality. Here's her spin on our larger-than-this-galaxy heroine. Thanks Paige! We're loving all of the fan and tribute art to celebrate Her rebirth! #taarn #heavymetal #heavymetalmagazine

Little snippet of a personal project while I work on some 👁️👄👁️ secret stuff

My hourly reminder that if I don’t go to bed at a decent time and consistently get terrible interrupted sleep, don’t eat well, and try to use caffeine to “fix” it I will indeed, feel like the world is ending and that everyone hates me. Single digit bedtime does not mean AM
