Gale is in the wilderness, meets a friend of his ex and the friend says: "I have a message from your ex: Kill yourself" Poor gale

[@conspiracypanda1200]

Being an ex of a deity must be rough. Imagine being depressed and automatically looking up to the heavens for guidance and the clouds rearrange themselves like "🖕"

[@bthsr7113]

Better than being an ex of an Olympian. Edit: Never mind, didn't realize it was an actual instruction to self destruct.

If you mean by Santa Claus you mean magical Genghis Khan, then yes, you are correct.

I never knew Santa Claus gets into orgies with women less than half his age.

thats crazy imagine if you were friends with santa and he was waiting for you down a path one day so he could tell you god wanted you to kill yourself

Something that I really enjoy about your editing style specifically is your frequent jumpcuts. Sometimes they're just a smart, quick way to summarize what happens, and other times it's just your reactions being hilarious. Your editing is just simply fun ^^

[@AeroViro]

hey thank you so much!!! I only recently started editing again and I was worried people wouldn't like it, so comments like these definitely make me feel so much better!
