I know it's a premade meme, but someone calling me a friend feels so nice. Things have slowly been going downhill for a few years now, and being in the middle of my final exams doesn't help either. After tomorrow, I'll only need to take two more oral exams, and as scary as they are, once they're over, I'll hopefully be able to slow down and breathe for a few days. I've been telling myself that exact same thing for two years ("just a little longer, then I'll have time to take a break"), but this time, I'm confident that I'll be able to take that break.
Thank you for your kind words, thank you for being nice, and thank you for some awesome memes <3
Wow, we have so much in common!! starts crying
But seriously, I genuinely hope things get better for you. Life can be tough. Quite often, there's nothing we can do about that, and that sucks. If you ever need a virtual hug or an inbox to verbally vomit into, I'll be happy to offer you both. Whatever goals you set your eyes on and whatever is giving you trouble at the moment, I'm rooting for you <3

One of my favourite parts about working from home is that I can take short breaks to walk around, stretch, or cuddle Blahaj whenever I want :3

reject humanity, embrace the machine
alt text: the first two panels are a close-up of my generic-canine fursona's angry face, first with their eyes closed, then with their eyes open and a fire in them. They say, "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine." The third panel is my fursona wearing a protogen visor, doing a cute face, saying "beep boop", and sitting on the ground like a silly little guy.

image transcription:
me: "yeah, I'm doing well."
also me: a screenshot of a YouTube video titled "1 hour UwU sound effect."
I made a comic :3
First panel: My “generic anthro canine” fursona is holding a phone, smiling, and looking flattered.
Second panel: A phone screen showing a conversation. Me: “ur cute :3” - them: “no u >w<” - me: “not as cute as u O//w//O” - them: “u the cutest”
Third panel: My fursona smiling and holding a phone, similar to the first panel.
Fourth panel: Another phone screen with further messages. Me: “oki gotta go now :3” - them: “nuuu why? ;-;” - me: “goin 2 a concert uwu” - them: “oooh have fun <3”
A text box: “one hour later”
Fifth panel: My fursona is in a dark concert hall and participating in a circle pit (lots of people running in a big circle to the rhythm of the music). My sona is smiling and has determined eyes. The circle pit is surrounded by other concertgoers. Big, red letters above the circle pit spell “KILL.”
Sixth panel: My fursona is in the same dark concert hall and participating in a mosh pit (an area where seemingly violent dancing occurs). My sona is windmilling their arms with closed eyes and a strained expression on their face. Others in the pit are doing a two-step, the bees knees, and the chicken dance. Big, red letters above the mosh pit spell “KILL.”
Seventh panel: My fursona is crowd surfing with a big smile and their arms raised. In the background, a photo from a Dying Fetus concert (a death metal band) shows the band members to evoke the feeling of being at a concert. Below my crowd surfing sona, big, red letters spell “KILL KILL.”
I remember wanting to do that in kindergarten. It's one of my oldest intrusive thoughts, biting off a piece of lipstick. Chalk, too. It'd probably be disgusting, but I want to feel the texture in my mouth as I chew it.
