this is actually one of the very first tma comics i ever did but i never posted it because i’m ace and their relationship is special to me and it felt too vulnerable somehow lol
well now here you go, i hope you like it and i love you.
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener
Tma is funny because the main character is literally a dude who will die if he doesn't tell me a bedtime story
Unless you hit me in the face with a brick that says “I’m flirting with you,” I’m most likely just gonna think you’re being nice.
I am not usually a very physically affectionate person, even with close friends. I think I am mostly scared to push any boundaries or make people uncomfortable so unless someone initiates a hug or something, I never dare. But I do imagine that when Clive comes back, my best friend returned from the dead, no matter the complicated circumstances I would run to hug him tight.
Overall, how would react if a usually non-affectionate MC were to suddenly be all over him after his return?
your oversized puppy :3
Honestly he'd just stand there, his brain would short circuit on the spot.😭
Whatever reason he had for coming there? poof, gone. Memory lane? what is that. The truth he yaps about all the time? no one cares.
What matters is: you're being affectionate. You're. being affectionate. He doesn't even care about the humiliating overwhelmed squeak he just let out.
That's it- no thoughts, no words, just pure overload, you managed to break him.
ALSO! Don't worry about it much anon, you deserve affection, truly. It's nice of you to worry about boundaries but if you want to be affectionate with someone it's okay to ask if they're comfortable with it first to be sure. You don't have to deprive yourself, just communicate, hugs and love (platonic or not) can be such a beautiful thing when consent is mutual so dw!! (hope it makes sense☹️)
Please…
Hello! Today is my birthday and I would love if your creations from angelic to demonic could wish me a happy birthday!
I really enjoy reading the story and the world you have created, I always get excited receiving the notification of a new chapter when you publish it.
Even tho my favorite at the moment is Raphael, everyone is invited to the celebration today. I'm sure that would never cause any issues and no one will be injured.
-🦊
Raphael (the nervous mess): H-Happy Birthday! I made your favorite breakfast for you, I hope you like it! I hope you rested well; I watched over you all night to ensure you were safe. What would you like to do today? It’s all up to you, I can’t wait to spend time with you. Y/n, ever since we met, I have not had anything else on my mind but your safety and happiness, I swear to protect you with my life for as long as I may live. I love you and I will do anything in my power to make you happy. Please choose me.
Cordyline(the procrastinator): Ah! What are you doing up? I’m not done decorating your cake! It’s your favorite flavor. Well, now that you’re up, I guess you can try a little. Happy birthday, y/n, I really hope you like your cake and gifts, though I have to admit I put it off for a bit. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to get you, so I got you everything I could think of last night. I’m so lucky that you have been introduced to my life, I really don’t know what I would do without you. I love you, so please choose me.
Andreas(overly confident): Happy Birthday, my darling girl. I’d ask if you slept well, but I already made sure that you did. What do you want to do today? I already thought of and prepared several reservations for your favorite restaurants for tonight. I know I choose what we do often, so today, what we do is completely up to you. No aha, this isn’t a test or trap. I just want you to have a good day of your own creation. Y/n, you’re the love of my life. I would kill for you, so I hope you won’t hesitate to let me know what you want. I can provide anything you may hope for. Come with me, you won’t regret it.
Doll: Wow, Happy Birthday!! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed my writing so much, it means a lot to hear. I hope you have a great birthday and get to live it up! Have a great day^^
