Alex, Patron Saint of Hairdressers.
[ID: A series of four sketchy illustrations, recounting tumblr user @cryptidfuckery's trip to the ER, as per quotes provided in this poll (link), in black and white with canary yellow, hospital blue and blood red accents
The first illustration shows Alex in a saint-like posture, facing up and arms crossed in front on them, showing the back of their hands to the viewer. Their right hand is holding a pair of hairdressing shears and on their left hand, a bit of their knuckle has been snipped off and bleeds. Their head is circled by a yellow halo: the background inside it is red, and the outside, black. Along the halo's curve are two mirrored combs. They are wearing a black single-use mask where one can read "Hazzards of the job" in yellow letters.
The second illustration shows them sitting in front of the ER doctor, who is taking their blood pressure. It is divided in two sketches: in the first one, both the characters are looking at the reading, indicating "140". There are two ellipsis over the drawing, indicating the shared silence. In the second one, they look at each other as Alex says "I've been a little stressed." with a toothy grin visible through their mask. Through her mask, the doctor too smiles sheepishly.
The third illustration, also divided in two drawings, shows the same doctor wiping blood off Alex's hand with sterile gauze and physiologic serum. The first drawing is a close-up of the hands, Alex's being gently held up by working gloved hands. Surgical scissors and other first aid tools are present. The second drawing shows a larger picture, with both characters sitting across from each other at a table, the doctor looking down in concentration and Alex smiling still, posture relaxed and commenting "It's like a manicure." The text is accompanied with sparkles and blood drops.
The fourth and last illustration is composed of two close-ups on the wounded hand, while being stitched. We first see the snipped finger's profile as the second stitch is secured and the black medical thread is cut. "It looks like a fucked up present", Alex says "or rather..." taking the viewer to a drawing of their hand, all five stitches now done. Black threads stick up from the closed wound, "yeah," we read "It's like a little spider." Along the spider-like stitching job, three little spiders walk on the finger, not bigger than a nail.
