          Oh, man. I never had that sort of roommate when I roomed with a someone. All I had was this really mutually awkward thing going on with this other dude and I that essentially came down to neither of us caring about the things the other liked but being far too polite to say it. He’d talk about Tennis to me and I’d talk about D&D to him and we’d smile and nod and not know what the HELL the other guy was talking about.

          This relationship drove me to drinking 24 cans of soda in a day, once.

    The way Ruth jumps so quickly back and forth between anger and a sense of calm makes me worry.
    I know that some of it is for the sake of a punchline, but I’m worried that it’s something Ruth can’t get a handle on, and I’m afraid it might completely spill over onto Billie in the worst way sooner or later.

      Oddly, I don’t see her toggling between angry and calm in this strip. She starts out moodily reflective and hesitantly opening herself up, and gets an iota more annoyed when Billie made her annoying comment. Where do you see the anger?

      (And in the strips immediately preceding this, she’s been annoyed and snarky, not toggling in and out of passive calm. Watch her eyebrows.)

        You’re forgetting the part where Billie was already struggling in an unfamiliar environment and not doing well, and Ruth has added on to the pile: sexual assault, attempted suicide, and guilt tripping. Billie needs help, and Ruth is too wrapped up in her own problems to do anything but blame Billie for not saving her properly. She’s put too much on Billie, and they both need third parties.

          This exactly. Add to it all that she actually developed reciprocal feelings for Ruth, only to have that rug pulled from under her, she’s really not in a good place right now.

          (It also doesn’t help that her best female friend is an adorable fundie who couldn’t deal maturely with all this homosexual stuff. Speaking of which, it also doesn’t help that the only friend she’s made at college is Joyce.)

              Yup. It’s a smorgasbord of self-loathing. Tempered currently with the uneasy hope that maybe something will go right and trying to put on a good face which will ultimately collapse as soon as Ruth decides she’s had enough and bolts.

    “I love to deal with all my terrible shit while sober. You’re a fuckin’ hero.”

    That reminds me. I remember reading somewhere that people on antidepressants sometimes stop taking them because of the feeling of complacency that the medicine imposes. Sadness and despair may be painful, but at least they’re genuine, and so they could be preferable to the medicated state.

    For some people, anyway. I’ve read that it happens, but I don’t know how frequently, and I imagine a lot of people can still benefit from antidepressants. Wonder how Ruth would react– would she prefer the medicated state enough to roll with it, or would it ring too close to alcoholism for her to be comfortable with it?

      Being on anti depressants myself, it hasn’t quite happened to me. Although it doesn’t quite sound right to me since, again just in my own experience, depression is a lot less like being sad and more of just being empty. I’d honestly prefer to be sad because then you at least feel something. With depression it’s more like you feel numb to everything. And the misery just comes from being all empty and shit

      Again, just my experience. Everyone is different

              Paxil was some scary shit. Obviously, it doesn’t do that to everybody, but at the time the fact that I could feel my heart pounding if I put my hand over it was the only thing keeping me from thinking I was having a heart attack. Body chemistry is weird.

              I’m better now (on both counts) at any rate.

      Did a little more research. There are several different types of depression, and many do have “sadness” listed among the symptoms- but not all of them. (My own flavor does include sadness, and does closely resemble one of the types on the list moreso than the others, so at least now I can put a name to my own problems.) Learn something new every day, I suppose.

      …now I wonder if Ruth’s abrupt mood swings mean she’s bipolar. But Ruth could also be doing it on purpose to terrify people around her for her own amusement, and I don’t think I’d put that past her.

      … It could be both. Weaponized depression. Dear gods. We must never allow this concept to fall into the wrong hands. Tumblr could destroy the damn world with it.

    Very complex situation here between these two. My favorites I think.

    I know how Ruth feels, I’d rather face my terrible shit when sober. The other way doesn’t work for me. Grief and depression is real, if you can work through them without artificial help, do it. You’ll be better off.

    Ruthless is gonna make it. Billie has a long way to go. But, just maybe Ruth just gave her a handle, she cares enough not to want to hurt Billie that badly again. So Billie knows she not totally unloved – hated right now for lying-but not unloved. Go get help Billie, join AA, stay sober, then go talk to Ruth. She will probably be there. She’s too damn mean to go elsewhere.

        According to Kra’ul’s Youtube channel:

        I am a 4 Dimensional Being from the Void between Worlds; 3 Dimensional Beings can not comprehend my true form…

        “I am Kra’ul Pfwimtz Sheykhon! Look on my works & despair! I am a Demagogue of the Undying Grudge, exacter of Petty Vengeance, and Master of Chaos. I shall drive a Wedge between the Thinker & the Believer, and within Faiths & Philosophies, sowing the seeds of discord to my heart’s content.

        Apparently the way to sow discord and drive a wedge between faith and philosophy is by capitalizing like Winnie the Pooh.

        Also, the Youtube channel says something about 4 arms, which might mean Kra’ul hits the SHIFT and CAPS keys more often than a binary-handed primate from a dimension between the voids (i.e. humans).
