Other Resource Lists
(While I tried to include the most helpful resources I could here (i.e., resources that lend themselves to one-on-one communication, individual reading, etc.), there are plenty of other great resources, including regional resources, listed in these links. Some of the resources are specific to men and others aren’t, but they are all helpful for male survivors.)

"Quinn is a cool sounding name-"
°-It certainly is, Jim. We will keep your pronouns in mind, we are happy for you Quinn.°
"Oh definitely Jim. Thanks for letting us know."
"Yeah, everything's fine! I figured out that I'm non binary." They smile shyly.
*Both Jims smile*
°Glad that you found out something about yourself Host!°
"Yeah! Can we ask about your pronoun preferences?"
*The snake keeps slithering though the void.* Yσυɾ Ⴆσƚԋ ɠσιɳɠ ƚσ Ⴆҽ Ⴆɾαιɳɯαʂԋҽԃ, ʂσσɳ. ⏳
*it took a moment of shocked silence before anything happened, then-*
"Oh... No, no hey no, you can't do that I'm not doing this nO-! LET US OUT!!!"
*RJ attempts to pry the snake's jaws opened, looking a mixed of frightened and angry*
°CJ is now attempting to kick the snake, aiming his foot to connect with the right side of the snake's mouth. He hits harder than he seems like he would. Nobody is stealing his brother or him if he can do anything about it.°
hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak
Hey, hey, oh no... you’re in the void too... Alright.. ok, here. Don’t listen to the music that may start playing or the cobra that you met. They’re hypnotizing the others and have already gotten Google and Host under their control. Be careful you two!! -Neb
"Oh no, crap, we have to help them- I trust you Neb, haven't given us a reason not to yet, and we'll try to avoid any music, but do you know any way we can help them? We need to get out of here, but we can't abandon anyone still here, controlled or not!"
°a firm nod, he looks equally distressed. Please, we can't just leave these things to use Host and Google.°
5?
5. who do you feel most you around?
(If unspecified I'm assuming everyone- hope that's ok?)
°RJ. He's been by my side since the beginning, quite literally.°
"Probably CJ! I'm with him all the time, and I've got nothing I feel like I have to hide from him, so I can just be me."
¶I'm.. not completely sure. Maybe WJ? I'd say my family for the most part, but there's someone at work I'm pretty comfortable being myself with, at least.¶
Keep the flame going for those we have lost to suicide.
*the kitten sneezes and a portal opens to show the living room* meow *he leads the way*
°It's pretty obvious he didn't really expect that to work. Kitten is just full of surprises. He speed walks through the portal after them and into the room, moving to lay Jim down gently onto the matress. Ok, he needed to get a doctor here, where's his phone-°
we really need allies right now, and I know seeing this on people’s blogs could be comforting to other Jewish people.
