To make sure it doesn't get to much of the same things, name the next thing I should draw from. You could just name the francise and I can pull one of my hundred ideas from my notes. You could name a specific character I maybe haven't done in a while. You could dare to say something new and hope I know what it is!

So! Finally finished Season 5 and the Paris-special.

Thank you Miraculous for reminding me of my emo-days.

I know, I know, the text is messy and on-the-nose but I wasn’t sure how to sell the actual message without having to redraw them both.

The Choice

The Choice. The important choice. For some, the final choice. The one needed to be made every single day. Choose if you can find the search for strength to fight just another day. Weak legs, fake smile, empty heart. The thoughts, the bullies, the oppressors, the search for the light in the end of the tunnel. The quiet fight. The unseen fight. The one bypassers won’t know about it until it’s too late.

The maths’ not perfect, I didn’t keep it in a journal or anything but 10 years ago now, I made a choice. I stared down into the abyss and said No and I have been saying No everyday since. Some days have been easier than others. And I’m grateful I did what I did. 10 years later, I have strengthened my bond with my family, I went to the most amazing high school and made friends. Once a childhood bully is today the best of them. I’ve travelled, I’ve made memories, I’ve gotten awards, met idols. I got to hold my nephews, hear them speak and walk and laugh with pure unfiltered joy. I got jobs and earned colleagues’ respect and proved myself and my oppressors that they were wrong. I’ve been a rock, I have inspired others to follow their dreams. I do matter, I should breathe this air too.

10 years and this topic is still as important to be as ever. 4 days ago was Suicide Prevention Day. I really wanted to make something about it but couldn’t come up with anything worth presenting until now.

So a friendly reminder, keep in touch with the people around you, check up on them, be there for them. Be a rock. Or ask for one. Turn to your contacts, you might be surprised how much they care if you let them.

Keep fighting, it will be worth it in the end.

After I did the 10th for my friend, I wanted to make my own personal favourite and first Doc and a little research says it’s 10 years now since he let go of his bow tie.

That little smile and looking into the camera, such an amazing goodbye.

Happy Birthday to my oldest of friends who many moons ago taught me how to play Minecraft

Re-upload, didn’t do superwell first time, don’t expect it to blow up now. But it just represents my own little personal growth and I want to find pride in that.

Take care of yourself and be proud of your journey, how small it may look to others.
