A Little Comic For Mermay

little kids make me laugh. i was at a party yesterday and a kid was there and she noticed that i have a long straight cut along the length of my thumb and asked about it, so i told her it was a cat scratch, almost healed, didn't hurt. and then she was sorta staring and touching it for a bit and went "you had bone surgery. because there were termites in your bones."

so i played along and went "oh man, i hope they got em all!" and she went "no. they put in more." lmao

HOW am i supposed to hate Simon Fairchild when he’s this fucking funny 😭😭😭

“Yes! 😃”

you know the hyperfixations bad when you go outside and see clouds and mutter to yourself 'this is just like when simon fairchild-'

thunderstorm warning tonight? thats- thats just like mike crew guys

The thing about Simon Fairchild in The Magnus Archives - the thing that's fascinating to me - is that he didn't have to do anything wicked to become an Avatar. He did wicked things later, once he'd become an Avatar, but to achieve Avatarship in the first place, all he had to do was make beautiful art of the Vast and fall in love with it.

And it seems as though the Vast fell in love back such that when he fell, the Vast couldn't bear to see him perish, and so he flew.

Simon goes on and on about how insignificant he is, but the literal god of the insignificance of humanity is invested in him, personally.

The other fascinating thing about Simon is that despite almost certainly having been raised Catholic and experiencing his miracle in a literal Catholic Church, he does not attribute his salvation to the Christian God. I wonder what drove that realization?

Look at the sky. It's looking back.

this is the saddest fucking thing. wheres that post about when you cant even write a poem about it because its just there already
