Sorry it's been said a million times but I'll never be over both Adam and Lawrence expending energy that they desperately needed in order to help each other. Adam risking serious harm to his freshly shot shoulder by beating the hell out of Zep and Lawrence wasting precious time when he's literally bleeding out to comfort Adam. Both of them would have been better off physically if they hadn't done these things, it may have enhanced their chances of survival. But they didn't care. They needed each other. They needed that connection. They needed that touch. Adam couldn't let Lawrence die and Lawrence couldn't leave without letting Adam know there was someone looking out for him.
my 8 year old has some emotional regulation difficulties, and I've done my best to help him with those.
unrelated, I gave him a shovel a couple of days ago and told him to go have fun in the field because I was tired.
He suddenly seemed happier, having less trouble breathing through disappointment and just being generally all around more cheerful and able to focus in school better. Sure, my partner had to pull him out of a six foot by three foot hole today, but he was stoked about it!
Seemed like most people were pretty into this, so I'm gonna make it a Patreon Goal. I'll probably do snippets like the first thing even if we fail, but if we get to $500 I'll try to make a real-ass comic issue for it. Hit $1000, and I'll make the baffling decision to try to make more than one.
