Fifteen Years

xkcd.com/3172/

Comic. Panels up to the 10-year point are grayed out. New panels since the Ten Years comic, which chronicles the first ten years of PERSON 1's journey with cancer: (1) [two people in bed] PERSON 1 (woman): One more chapter? PERSON 2 (man): Don’t we both have to get up early? PERSON 1: Nnnnnggggh PERSON 2: Sure, good point. (2) [many people wearing masks, walking while looking at graphs on their phones] (3) [birds landing on people] PERSON 2 in beanie and scarf: Hah! They like *my* seeds best. PERSON 1 in scarf holding phone with a bird sitting on it: Wait, how do I take a picture of this one? (4) [two people rowing boats with tree landscape] (5) [Person 1 carries overflowing stack of things to Person 2 in bed] PERSON 1: I brought you honey lemon tea, more pillows, a cinnamon roll, Tylenol, another blanket, a– PERSON 2: It was just Appendicitis, I’m really– PERSON 1: *It is my turn to take care of you and I am going to do it right!* (6) [Two people in car] (7) [still in car) PERSON 1: Oh my god. PERSON 2: Oh my god. (8) [car driving] PERSON 1: Pull over! PERSON 2: I am! (9) [both people get out of car] (10) [Large colored panel of aurora borealis over water with both people looking on] (11) [Person 1 sits against tree while Person 2 lies on the ground] PERSON 1: Fifteen years. No sign of the cancer. (12) I *am* having some weird symptoms. Joint pain. Fatigue. I think I’m losing my close-up vision. PERSON 2: Yeah. Me too. (13) PERSON 2: I think we’re getting old. (14) PERSON 1: I guess that’s okay. PERSON 2: It’s all I wanted.

I just watched @zigmenthotep.bsky.social 's new video on the F.A.T.A.L. sex rules, and this was my art warmup before work proper today. I didn't know that flumphs have 11 tentacles until I was sitting down to draw. It threw me for a loop! #dnd #ttrpg #flumph #fanart

A flumph (yellow and orange jelly fish monster from Dungeons and Dragons with two eyes on stalks, 11 tentacles and a mouth on the top capable of human speech) adjusting a tie and looking down at the viewer from behind a pair of round glasses. His little mouth on top of his bell is set in a frown, eyes narrowed in judgement. The top text reads, in Impact font "You hate F.A.T.A.L's sex rules because you are sex negative."

The bottom text reads, in the same font:
"I hate F.A.T.A.L.'s sex rules because I am sex positive.
WE ARE NOT THE SAME."

if i were rich i would buy me and all my friends some of them fancy holiday treat boxes. i think it's criminal that all i can do is stare at the catalogue :[

a harry & david treat box full of charcuterie items such as sausages, crackers, cheeses, nuts, and condiments.

a dulcet treat box filled with sweets like chocolates, cookies, brownies, blondies, and whoopie pies.

Supper Mario Broth

Mario Kart: Double Dash contains a bizarre "eternal European pain" glitch whereby being burned when entering a pipe will cause the character to remain in pain indefinitely, but only in the European version.

A reminder, to keep you going. I've had to use it very often these days. Why is the hole in the bottom? It's for the wearer's use, rather than others. I'll likely put these up on my ko-fi soon, when I've got more of them. #merch #talisman #art #acrylic #mindfulness

A busy workspace, covered in dye sublimation papers yet to be cut, sticker projects and a cutting mat for a plotter in the top left corner. In the middle is a transparent acrylic rectangle, with scattered pink rocks reminiscent of cherry blossoms falling through the air. On it is a slightly smaller back rectangle border, and enclosed within are simple words: THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS. The font is a thin, stark sans seriff, all capitals, words arranged atop one another vertically. The bottom of the rectangle has a hole for a cord or chain to attach to.

The piece is resting on a red box cutter. At the top of the picture rests another acrylic with the same motif, but more scatters inside. At the bottom, a reel of heat resistant tape is just peeking into frame, and at the bottom left is another acrylic, words unreadable on it.

Created by HELLBREAKFAST.

A closer at the acrylic. It is the same as before, clear, with a black border and the words THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS. in thin black sans seriff. The reflective pink scatters can be seen inside, and the close up reveals that the acrylic has an almost water like texture to it, the back intentionally made wavy, with a few artfully injected bubbles, recalling a river bank lined with flowering trees.

The artist is holding it in his hand, which can be seen through the material.

In the blurry background, the busy work table is visible, along with the side of a heavy duty air filter.

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever
