That is not the best of jokes. Cause right now I'm worried the artist is making such humor, and statistically that usually masks a real desire to actually hurt themselves. Maybe people need to actually be taking those jokes seriously.
The artist is a very dedicated, very tired person who I feel is making their statements entirely as a commentary of their wish to be freed of the drudgery of working for Lord Arioch.
I actually have had, and sometimes still have, suicidal thoughts. I've never acted out on them, but I have done some rather stupid shit that was damaging to my body. To keep things short, Lets just say I have recurring memories or vivid flashbacks of childhood events that fucked me up, and are really painful memories that I recall for no apparent reason and I don't even know what triggers them, suffice to say that I have to relive them every so often. Those are the worst moments in my life.
Given my own personal experience concerning mental health, The artist has not raised any red-flags that I have noticed. And I feel the same way Concerning Lord Arioch, who also has repeatedly made comments about how they would kill themselves in order to free them of the massive burden of ruling over such a large domain as Seeds of Chaos.
Harmless self-deprecation made in jest, that's fine. If they ever did raise statements that concern me personally, I would most certainly raise a fuss about it. Serious mental health issues are most certainly not a joke. But I do feel that seeing every instance of people being Self-depreciative as potentially being a mask for suicidal thoughts is also not great. True enough that it can mask suicidal thoughts, It could also just entirely be made in jest. As such I feel such things ought to be assuaged by feeling out the situation/context so to speak and gauging out whether this is a serious issue or not.
Suffice to say, if anybody around here were to kill themselves, It would likely be me. But there ain't no way I'mma gonna croak until Seeds of Chaos is done. You have my promise.
