French fries, grim reapers, and other alternatives to necromancy

Leo receives the news of his upcoming death from his dead best friend… who is now a Grim Reaper? Lovely.

I'll post part two in a sec! it's my final for comic design class that I made a few months ago. It's definitely unfinished for now rip, but I'm very in love with my story and my characters, and I really hope you do too!

You can get it here too!

It's been almost five months since I accidentally moved abroad and went MIA, here's an update!

I'm doing great!

I fell in love with an art program at a local university and I'm planning to enroll next year! (so happy i get the american dream of student loans haha). I thank my lucky stars I have all the support and love I can have rn, and looking back, I think I made the right choice by moving, even if I didn't mean to in the beginning. I'm so much more independent, and happy, it really feels like I'm starting to live.

Tw: my tragic backstory

this evening my fiancé and i found a kitten blind, bleeding, back crooked, unable to move, and covered with ticks and fleas. between two precvious unrelated medical emergencies, issues with paypal, and the costs of hospitalizing this kitten we are out of money. to make matters worse i was bitten by the kitten and now have two infected (swolled and red) cuts on my hand due to a bite from the kitten. i need to go to the hospital but we dont have the money for it. we dont have any family to lean back on, any savings to help, nor jobs to earn money from, we really dont know what to do. with the way things are if we want a chance at surviving we need to raise $1100. if you have anything to spare, whether it be 10 dollars or 1 it would be more than appreciated,

$65/$1100

internet conspiracy theorists on christmas day 2006 when prime minister harriet jones went on live national news to say "if the doctor or someone who knows the doctor is watching this please shoot me a call"

it is truly funny how many times the doctor shows up in the public eye without a smidge of context. can you imagine being one of those people who's actively invested in the mystery of the dvd easter egg in blink and then this happens

yasmin khans career is insane to me. this kid walked depressed out of high school and into a police station and went yo i wanna do this. and then probably did some kinda degree apprenticeship for a year and a half and then we meet her. dont think it wouldve taken her more than a year to start tugging on her boss's sleeve like lemme save a life pleaaaaaaseeeeee

she is Nine Teen do you understand. she is nineteen and she talks to some middleaged women Like That. and sure she has the authority of a badge she hasnt quite earned yet but thats like entirely my whole exact point

do you know how small 19 is? do you know how young 19 looks?

she is nineteen years old and she barks at someone who looks twice her age who is approximately a hundred times her age like shes a tiny dog who doesnt realise her size

which is not to discredit her in any way i think she Should be barking i love her for it it's just nuts to me. shes young but she pretends to be old. she wants respect and authority So Badly. the first thing she says to the doctor is Stop. Im In Charge. Do As I Say. and then she does as the doctor says for the rest of time. the duality of yasmin khan

no but like hear me out hear me out. you know why she listens to the doctor for the rest of time? it's like im watching woman who falls to earth for the first time. i think it's because of this:

but you're worried about how you'll explain all this to a superior officer who won't believe you

  1. the doctor does not challenge her authority. this is her wheelhouse she might not know who she is but she knows that she knows what shes doing. yaz is 19 years old, has never done this before, and the doctor doesnt challenge her claim to authority in this situation At All. she lets her present her plan. "what are you gonna do?"
  2. after letting yaz let herself realise the obstacles that the doctor is already 10 steps ahead mentally stepped over (because Shes Done This Before), she presents her with a superior officer that WILL believe her! namely, her
  3. and then she offers her own plan - and doesnt even undermine yazs in doing so!
YASMIN: I can't not report it. DOCTOR: You could hold off until we get the answers to the bigger questions. YASMIN: Which are? DOCTOR: What was it? Why is it here? Where's it going next? And, most importantly, how do we stop it? 'Cos whatever it is, I don't think it's done. Come on, Ryan. Come on, Yaz. I'm calling you Yaz, cos we're friends now.

just hold off! just lets do my plan first and then yours. and sure shes planning to be way out of the way by the time yaz gets to reporting, if she even still wants to at that point, but the promise doesnt take anything away from the claim to authority yaz made. essentially the doctor goes "yes, AND" and immediately claims yaz as her friend. she takes control of the entire situation but to yaz in that moment it must have felt like the doctor let her stand next to her. because she kinda did! let her drive her police car!

and yaz doesnt know how to deal with this. i mean who does it's fucking aliens. someone who does seem to know what theyre doing or at least where to go next must have been a relief on some level. especially when presented in this way where they dont take any of your authority away (there wasnt much to take away lets be honest)

THIS is why. oh my god this is why they are the way they are why their dynamic is the way it is like sure yes i knew that, this moment and then ghost monument "dont know what you mean" and arachnids "are we?" is the doctor very deftly setting the boundaries very very well and the fam STICKS to them and yaz only starts pushing a little in flux but oh my god THIS is how it works. this is why yaz, just like, fucking lies down. that makes it sound so bad i dont mean it bad i just mean yaz vs Anyone Else is so different than yaz vs the doctor and THIS is why. because the doctor listened to her AND offered her a superior officer who WOULD believe her

can you imagine how many authority figures yaz has dealt with who never believed her?

new who docs + flowers x

9 - roses. black roses symbolize mourning (for gallifrey) and lavender roses symbolize 'unique love' (with rose).

10 - gladiolus. they represent strength, remembrance (for his planet), and integrity. red symbolizes love, yellow compassion, and purple charm/mysteriousness.

11 - delphinium. cheerfulness, silliness, levity and attachment (mostly to amy).

12 - zinnias. they symbolize never forgetting friends/loved ones or their lasting impact and affection. 12 had the most development, most of it having to do with clara and other close friends.

13 - daffodils. rebirth, new beginnings, and energy. she was a new era, fresh joyful eyes with endless energy.
