If You Need Character Suggestions To Do Next. May I Suggest My Little Guy Radar

For the character portraits series (which I absolutely adore btw) maybe BJ? I’d have to think of some other iconic BJ moments but the “whatever you want” line about his name is a potential one that comes to mind.

Thank you!!! I’ve been really enjoying making these. BJ’s apathy towards his name is so funny any definitely on my list for him is “what say you, ferret face”

I think that settles it. BJ next

I want Josh to get a boyfriend and I don’t want to be there for it.

I want it to be like a background thing we get to hear about through break room conversations with Maddie. I want them to have met completely normally— like maybe they struck up a conversation in a really long cafe line.

Maybe they have a fight or something and Josh goes into work and they have a tough day at dispatch where he does what he always does and is the voice of calm and reason for everyone else and then goes home and even though they had been fighting he still gets to lean on his boyfriend.

And I want Sue to notice he doing well and to hug him and say she’s HAPPY for him.

I just want the background character who supports everyone to be HAPPY AND SUPPORTED.

Let’s put aside Buddie for a second…

Guys what do you want from season 9? Because I’ve got one thing I really want and I’d like someone to ask please.

Plane doodles!!!

I JUST FINISHED THE WINNERS AND THERE WILL BE MINOR SPOILERS

when I say just I mean like 15 minutes ago— There are still dry tears on my face.

The way Mr Backman spoils the book for us over and over is flawless at giving individuality to the story as a narrative, giving it its own voice, but it’s also a top notch literary device to cultivate plot twists. I was so preoccupied with him telling us—from the beginning—who was going to die that the things that Bang the dog, Mumble’s ending, and all the other little tragedies we watched happen took shocked me to my core

On the subject of the compassion and hopefulness— I can’t even begin to put into words how I feel about the “Time travel can’t be real” lines and the lines written on all the different tombstones in the story, or Alicia’s story

Cannot deal with how the story of Beartown knows itself inside and out and how it tells itself so nonchalantly, spoiling things left and right, and killing our notions of a happy ending before we even get the stupid idea to hope.

"She won't succeed." "It won't be enough." "He will be too late."

But what gets me is how the story also so obviously cares. Cares about the people, about the events that went down, and it knows that the outcome can't be changed but it wishes so damn hard it could be.

"Obviously we still hoped. Dear god, how we hoped." "The people in this town who loved him. There were so many of us."

It's not them, it's us. Almost like the town itself is telling it. Fredrik Backman I am in your walls.

Sorry Trapper fans- his art is going to be late because I’m working on this pretty much obsessively.

S4E8 The Kids made me really emotional okay???

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $60,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

I’ve never had a platform to use, but now that I do, I’ll do what I can.

ART FOR EVERY BOOK I READ THIS SUMMER PART 6: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

What I wouldn’t give to know what Mr. Huxley was thinking when he wrote this. The book made me pretty uncomfortable (as it’s meant to, I suppose) but I LOVED this scene so I divorced it from the context a little for this comic. Words all come from Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

Hello, I hope my message finds you well Can you help me amplify my desperate plea to survive? I wish everyone who can support my family with $5, $10 or any amount they can donate or at least reblog My pinned blog 🙏🏻

My family needs you and depends on you to survive 🍉🍉
