Not to psychoanalyze the character I have written myself, but I think Zockl stressing so much about a challenge he set himself might be a deplacement of the stress he is feeling in real life and therefore a repression of his real emotions. But who’s to say? 🤷‍♀️

What are your best (healthy) coping strategies when it comes to stress? And is gaming among them?

This is such a great visual of the mental game he’s playing. The stress and anxiety is depicted so well in how he’s holding himself, responding combatively, and how he’s let himself go without even realizing it. Well done.

I find that gaming can be a good distraction from stress, yes. I'm not sure I would go to quite the same extent that Tobi is, though!

I always think it's fun to look back on your characters stories and notice little things about them that you never noticed before. My favorite coping strategies are reading, drawing, and watching series. I've been getting back into novels recently and I've been enjoying it. Downside is the rate at which I finish novels, which is once a day, results in me buying the next 4 volumes just as quick. 😭 I've been reading Percy Jackson and I'm at the 5th volume and that's where the universe gets a little confusing in terms of reading order so I'm taking a detour to a 5 book series called All For The Game by Nora Sakavic.

Flix should drag that boy into a shower

Oooof best healthy coping mechanisms when I’m stressed is a rough one. Most of my coping mechanisms are great, but easily turn into obsession/complete blinders towards my issues. If I can find the right balance I’d say that writing is that for me. Usually I’d say figure skating, but my body is quite broken and there are a lot of times when I physically can’t and trying to watch competitions and skating social media posts hurt more than they help.

That door opening better be Zockl taking a shower and eating a full, healthy meal.

I tend to get lost in games when I’m stressed or overwhelmed. My therapist and I are in the process of working on skills and strategies for when I get task paralysis or stuck in my escapism. It’s TOUGH!! I love how you are depicting Zockl’s struggles. Side note, his sweet little stunned face when Flix says together. Oh, my heart! 🥹🥰

Yeah Zockl might have felt like he had no control over the stresses of his life so he's using this challenge as a "if I can beat this, I can solve the problems in my life too". Looking forward to Zockl getting cleaned up as well as his room!

I LOVE the lizard tongue Zockl has in that last panel. 😋 on a serious note, i do something similar when I'm stressed but with cleaning instead I can't control the chaos in life? Well I can control my environment and organize it exactly how *I* want it to be. I think Zockl is doing the same in his own way

I feel this way of thinking. Especially with dark souls it's like "if I can manage this hard thing in the game I can manage this other hard thing in real life!". But this boy needs some food, water, a shower and get rid of the depression styling™️
