@szkodnix@sk.szkod.ovh@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt Well said Azul, well said 
@AzulCrescent new comic, so soon!
#Alt4You (1/4)
An AzulCrescent comic, fully shaded color, 6 panels.
Panel 1.
Caption: "I don't consider myself a good person."
Azoo, eyes closed, hair blowing in the wind.
Panel 2.
Caption: "I have seen people who consider themselves to be good harbor
intensely vile and harmful thoughts and actions against other people."
A smiling person in a white gown, with a halo. But the halo is made out of blood, their hands are covered in it, and their eyes are hidden.
@AzulCrescent
#Alt4You (2/4)
Panel 3.
Caption: "Because to them, it isn't wrong."
Panel divided into a light and dark half.
On the light half, the person from panel 2 (in dark colors) is standing, wielding a sword. "They are good, therefore their actions *must* also be good."
On the dark half, someone in light colors (similar to Azoo) is on their knees, pleading, at the other person's mercy. "The person they are harming must be evil."
Caption: "Hence they are justified."
@AzulCrescent
#Alt4You (3/4)
Panel 4.
Caption: "And what each person considers good could be different."
Four examples with icons: Generosity (hand giving a coin), Empathy (heart), Authority (crown), Wealth (coins).
Caption: "It can be so undefined."
Panel 5.
"I think human existence is tiring, scary and painful as it is already,"
Azoo, sighing, looking slightly upwards, hopeful.
"So I just try to live in a way that brings me and other people around me joy, as long as it doesn't harm anyone."
@AzulCrescent
#Alt4You (4/4)
Panel 6.
The earth and the moon, floating in space, on a dark background filled with stars.
"I just think... It makes the world a slightly nicer place to live in."
@AzulCrescent thank you for this wonderful comic. This echoes such a beautiful sentiment.
I often say it like this:
The universe is cold and uncaring, so all the warmth and love must come from each of us.
There is so much more I could say, as I sit here, slightly teary-eyed, of what I think, hope, and believe.
But I will leave it at the thank you, and look forward to your next comic.
Also, 500 chars is short, I notice...
@crypticcelery Thank you very much for the alt! and yes, its so hard to be a human already with how frail and mortal we are, and its sad that people make it harder for everyone involved. I just think the world could be nicer if everyone was nicer you know. Thanks again!
@AzulCrescent No worries, this time I saw the comic fly into my timeline.
The edits are fine, it is, after all my interpretation of your art, and always just a suggestion to base the alt text on, no need to copy it verbatim.
Also, yes to that. The beauty of a single life is so fleeting, and yet there are those who refuse to see it for some people, just because they are different. It is profoundly sad that they cannot or do not want to see this. The world would be nicer if they would.
@crypticcelery also i had to edit your alt txt a bit to fit in to the character limit, hope that's okay. thanks for that again!
@AzulCrescent I don't if I'm good or bad person. All I do is trying to do as less problems around me as possible, even if the cost is my own well-being also I can't lie. I just exists trying to avoid people who doesn't fit my small world.
@otyugh@pouet.chapril.org@AzulCrescent The irony is that you defined good and bad persons just now :p
@AzulCrescent artistically, this one is really stunning :3
Am I correct to assume frame 2 and 3 are references to the bad apple music video?
@hermlon not quite, but i can see the striking resemblance lmao. guess my mind plagiarized it haha
@AzulCrescent oh, even better if that came naturally and wasn't intentional <3
@dx@social.ridetrans.it@AzulCrescent I like it: No such thing as a good person, only people who try to do good
@anyia@lgbtqia.space@AzulCrescent so much yes! All the yes! 
@ambiguous_yelp:ahimsa.chat @ambiguous_yelp@social.coop@AzulCrescent "briging yourself and others joy without harming them" is in itself a metaethical position called hedonistic consequentialism. You can't escape having an ethical framework, this has the same energy as centrists thinking theyre above politics
@ambiguous_yelp:ahimsa.chat @ambiguous_yelp@social.coop@AzulCrescent Oh and btw if you want to live without harming others as the comic suggests then go vegan https://nationearth.com
@AzulCrescent From what I can tell, I'd say you're a good person. I suppose what you said in the last two panels aligns with what I think is good. ("Don't make it worse" is basically my guiding life principle.)
But sorry for pigeon-holing you with a label you don't self-identify with!
@AzulCrescent ironically this is basically the philosophy of the bible
We as humans, flawed as we are, can't actually be, or even really comprehend, ‘absolute good’. It simply isn't possible.
But that doesn't stop us trying to be the best we can be, from considering our actions, from reflecting on them, and seeking to make amends when we fall short. Because we will fall short, and that's okay, what matters is that when we do we act with humility and continue to work on ourselves in the face of it.
Those that claim to be without fault though, they are truly lost. ‘and their arrogance is an abomination to the Lord’.
It's a shame so many ‘true believers’ don't understand this at all.
@purple @AzulCrescent there are a lot of people that have problems with the Bible because of the way it condones polygamy, slavery, children and family as chattel of the husband, etc. The nice parts get lost in the thundering assholes parts. (Not just Paul.)
@AzulCrescent This is literally my definition of "good".
@AzulCrescent this is great but it stops short of acknowledging your own evil. in the end you just revert to another definition of being "good" that's no different to those other people. there is no way to live in which you don't harm anyone. if you think that you're just closing your eyes like everyone else.
@kolya I did consider putting in a point about how I am capable of evil and sin just as anyone else, so the best I can do is just try, and that with human existence, it’s really not possible to not cause harm intentionally or unintentionally. There’s a lot of nuance ofc but only so much a 6 panel comic can contain to convey it properly lol
@AzulCrescent Thank you for drawing something I had in my mind already for some time, but I've named and verbalized quite recently.
The thing is, when I assume I'm a good person, that means I'm making no mistakes. And I've nothing to change. I'm perfect.
If I'm not good, then - if I choose this path - I have the chance to improve.
@AzulCrescent i believe there is no such thing as good or bad people, only people who do good or bad things.
@AzulCrescent I personally feel like rather than focusing on wether or not they are a good person, people should try to act in ways that are kind
@AzulCrescent @CliftonR the difference between being good and (attempting at) doing good
@AzulCrescent this comic is really beautiful, great job
@AzulCrescent today's drawing is little different but looks really good
@AzulCrescent Word.
And I really dig your drawing style :)
