This comic started with a single step that both of us took one night. There was a local games shop holding rpg nights, and we both decided to go despite the anxiety. It was here that we met and became the best of friends as we kept going back.
We've been on so many adventures together since then. This comic is one of the biggest. We talked about it last year and slowly realised it was something we did want to do together, not just a haha wouldn't it be great if we could?
Community is such an important part of this journey. It is amazing to be able to talk to someone and not have to try to explain why for anything. So, we want to thank you for being a part of this community. We cherish every single one of you.
What are you thinking about taking a first step into? Let us know so we can cheer you on.

One of the most amazing things you can offer someone is your support. Not advice. Just support. There’s something magical about a friendship where someone can just listen and not jump to find a solution. We don’t need a fix, and there is no magical one. We just need support.
One thing we agree on wholeheartedly is there needs to be more support out there for those of us with invisible illnesses. One of the most comforting things about our friendship is we don’t need to try to explain what’s going on. We can just say ‘brain fog!’ and the other one knows we’re gonna be a little slower that day.
There’s no judgment from either side. We want this community to be a safe place for you too. Let us know what you’re dealing with. Who knows? You might find yourself a new friend in the comment section.
