Apologies for the terrible image quality - I’m lacking scanner access at the minute so I had to take these photos on my phone
I was reading hyperbole and a half’s blog entry explaining their experience of depression and decided to make another sketchy comic based on my experiences with anxiety, which is another mental illness I think people tend to misunderstand quite frequently
Hopefully this will be of use to some people - whether they suffer from anxiety themselves or if they just want to know more about it
And this happened today.
Had a great time chatting with Raphael this afternoon. It was a pleasure meeting this kind-hearted man and exchanging notes on our ME experience. Check out his grassroots non-profit organization that helps fund L.A.’s green projects —www.greenwish.com
This happened. This totally happened.

- HISTORY OF MY GAMING LIFE
I’m gonna go ahead and make “Citadel grin” an official thing. I have it all across my face right now!
—Merle, while playing Citadel for the second time, with her Renegade Shepard
Coffee with Kaidan: The other side
It comes as a small surprise to anyone who ever crossed paths with me for some time that I am a fan girl of sorts. I can’t help it, it’s in my system. My relationship with Mass Effect has been one of the most rewarding and frustrating experiences of my life. Having started as a fan of the first one, I had sort of a love-hate relationship with the second installment and nothing could make me predict the free-fall furious storm of feelings the third game would bring me. It really affected me.
My first and main Shepard was a Paragon Vanguard, close enough to my heart and the type of character I like to play in RPGs. Biotics are Space magic, you say? Biotic to the bone. Athena Shepard, a brutal fighter with a gentle soul.
I was sort of a veteran to BioWare games, back then, and the relationships with the companions were nothing new to me, despite being ever exciting. I was surprised to find kindred souls both in Liara and Kaidan, although everything was quite controlled and kept under the rug. Now that I look back at it, I can make a completely different reading of it since there are regulations against fraternization but, back then, the romance didn’t really strike me as a life changing event. That completely changed in Mass Effect 2 for Liara and Mass Effect 3 for Kaidan.

I was so disappointed that the Citadel DLC didn’t include this.
Continuum to this.
I regret nothing.Sry for making them so slender as they need to be kawaii shounens.And Kaidan’s the shorter one, oops.
I AM SO SORRY, WORLD

She’s a member of AKB48 who was caught coming out of a male idol’s house. At first people thought she’d be forced to move to one of the sister groups or something not as harsh, but she was made to shave her head (she says it was her idea, but i mean c’mon) and then management uploaded a video of her asking for forgiveness and it’s all so ridiculous. She was also demoted to trainee level, after being in the group for 8 years. So if you could go to their YT channel and flag the video as abusive so YT removes it, that’d be great.
EVERYONE: Please go here and flag this video as abusive content against vulnerable individuals. We need to get this taken off youtube IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE.
Jesus fuck!
I heard about the “scandal” yesterday, but never did I imagine that they would do something like this. That video was one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen in my life.
Please report it and spread the word about how wrong it is to do something like this to a poor innocent girl who has done no wrong!
we need to help her omg i feel horrible for her jfc
For those who don’t know this: This kind of thing is common practice in j-pop groups. Japanese culture absolutely does not tolerate anything of this sort in their pop groups. One of my favorite groups, W, got disbanded because one of them was caught smoking.
If you are in a j-pop group and you do anything reminiscent of drugs, violence, smoking, or having any kind of a relation with a man, or even if you sing a line or note wrong or miss a dance step, you are immediately held as a social pariah, and usually ‘demoted’ to the lowest level of the group, if not kicked out completely, and once that happens, good luck trying to get back into the music industry.
This has always unsettled me about j-pop groups. Their music is amazing, but they are held to such an insane standard of perfection. Ever wonder why so many j-pop singers quit or take hiatus due to ‘exhaustion’? It’s because they’re pushed so hard and so far that their bodies and minds eventually break down.
I am, of course, not saying this is okay, it’s absolutely not, but I just want to point out while everyone has their attention on this that every j-pop band in Japan is held to this standard. Given, I have never heard of anyone being forced to shave their head, but this stuff does happen if they get caught.
This is so ridiculous… I’ve seen more things like these happen (remember Aibon), I know of idols who ended up killing themselves for reasons which were not made public (remember Okada Yukiko). These boys and girls aren’t treated like people by their agencies - not only they are human, they are also very young and growing up. Some of their most basic human rights are completely ignored and the punishments for things they are not supposed to do are ridiculously out of scale and completely tyrant in nature. This girl was made to humiliate herself publicly for acting her age. We all know entertainment business is no spring breeze, but this has been going on in Japan for far too long and I don’t know if this debate is open inside their borders or not, but what they do to their idols is extremely cruel and out of proportions.
