Now I’m a lil tipsy and early but I am seeing 4 shirts and at least 2 pairs of pants flying there what the HELL was Jaden wearing under that shirt????
(Also: Come oooonnnn cummerbund)
This makes me wonder, who has a bigger wardrobe hidden on their person: Tears of the Kingdom Link, or Ari? 🤔 Also, poor Riley. A million articles of clothing flying through the air, and only she gets hit by something.
My head ought to have whipped around like I was rubbernecking an accident with the way I scrolled back up when I saw “Ari in Link’s tunic.” YES PLEASE.

You must be this old to read a comic with the common gag of undressing someone behind curtains. You can return when you’re older than 15 years old.
No, sexual assault is when society makes women undress in rooms full of men.
This is a woman being made to change clothes behind a screen in a room full of women.
Yeah, forcibly changing someone’s clothes isn’t exactly a nice thing to do, but if you consider it sexual assault, you could accuse pretty much every parent of sexually abusing their children, seeing as toddlers are quite often unhappy to wear the clothes their parents consider occasion-appropriate.
I don’t often excuse questionable content in webcomics as “it’s a joke”, but in this case, Jaden’s reluctance and the others (wo)manhandling her clearly is exaggerated for comedy.
Then it would be a man undressing a woman he wants to rape (or at the very least ogle in the showers at the gym), which is a very different situation from a woman undressing a woman she is friends with in the explicit purpose to make her wear a nice suit.
Different people doing the same thing can have very different connotations. Yes, really. Remember what your dentist or their assistant did at your last appointment. Now imagine how you would feel about that if some stranger walked up to you and did the same. I bet you would feel rather different, pretty much no matter how much dentistry you usually need done.
At this point Ari could re-outfit half the participants, looks like! Maybe she should, actually. There’s a decent chance it’d leave everyone in flat shoes. Also, I hope Jaden will be happy with the result! Doesn’t sound like her opinion was being consulted, hah.
this is making me a little uncomfortable ngl :/ like i get what you’re trying to go for, but imagining myself in jaden’s shoes? i’d be mortified being stripped naked by a coworker. i don’t care if the coworker is another woman, it still feels very inappropriate to do this without asking for explicit consent you know?
idk maybe i’m taking it too seriously. but other instances of potential harassment in the comic are also taken more seriously than this and are framed as bad (ie brick and blaire asking riley invasive questions, babygirl in just about every panel), so i was a bit disappointed to see this!
You are responsible for your own discomfort, and are indeed taking a comedic moment far too seriously and applying real word logic to it.
If Ari is able to pull off magic tricks like pulling a divider screen out of seemingly thin air, do you not think it is also possible for her to know a costume-change magic trick that doesn’t expose Jaden? (Notice her underwear did not go flying. She’s not naked).
Ari also threw a chair into the air and didn’t hit anyone. Like come the fuck on. Surely you smell your own bullshit on this too?
Use your big girl brains and ask yourself what’s more likely: That this is sexual harassment, or you’re pulling wildly obtuse claims out of no where because you disagree with my politics in general?
Do you think this is supporting or making light of animal abuse (omg I would hate to have a rock dropped on me how could they draw this????):
Or do you possess a modicum of critical thinking skills?
gendie anons crying in the comments when they were all silent when a man smashed Jaden’s nose and verbally threatened her with r*pe, yall remain the most unserious people on the planet
To the gendie anons: The gag/trope of undressing someone behind a curtain is older than anyone of you, and it has been used for way longer as gag. Jaden would punch Ari if she was uncomfortable, but like Anonymoo said, all of you are uncomfortable for a gag but a man beating Jaden is ok because… trancephobia? she was asking for it?
Return when you’re older enough to read the comic. Can I suggest some of Webtrash??
Ruth feeling very justified in her hiring choices. Whenever there’s an odd number of dancers, she knows she can count on Riley to get the job done.
Unrelated but I’ve absolutely ADORED seeing your camping and beach episode artwork for the Lb girlies over on tumblr. Your art is so adorable and brings me so much joy 🥺🥺
This makes me think of this weird mobile game called Love Nikki where a blood curse means no one can do violence so all disputes are settled with dress up battles. It’s as weird as it sounds. Ari would clean up in that universe.
Is Nelly used to having clothes fired at her like this? Very smooth duck under that shirt. 😎 Ari also totally needs one of those party cannons that blast confetti every which way, but with a “snazzy clothes” setting that plasters an entire chic outfit onto her ̶v̶i̶c̶t̶i̶m̶s̶ guests.
Oh absolutely! This is not the first time there’s been an odd number of dancers, nor a bouncer has been volunteered to even them out. So Nelly is very prepared for wild make-over antics every other week.
I bet the people whining about the make-over are the same ones who a threw a fit about Faith being a lesbian. And somehow not one of them complains about clothes being thrown at the guests? You’d think that’s hella inappropriate by their standarts, but what do I know. I’m not a whimsyless vigilante. 🤭
Anyway, Rusty, keep on being silly, hope the make-over isn’t the last of Ari’s shenanigans this chapter. (Also, not like pushing you or anything, but if you’re ever out of chapter bonus ideas… I think a hypothetical Ari make-over for the gendie club would be quite swell to see. 👀)
Oh yes, a kid saying they’re trance is ok, but they draw the line at having a same sex crush, like… We all had at Faith’s age, specially with cartoons?
And Ari in the gendie club sounds like a good idea, but “Babygirl” would ruin it and the club would kick her out for making their “ant queen” cry :C This is why we can’t have nice things.
The phrase whimsyless vigilante is absolute gold!! (And yes judging by the IP addresses, they are indeed one and the same crowd).
I love the idea of some kind of bonus/what if comic of Ari doing more make overs. I was considering showing off times where she has done this to Shez and Parinya (pre-Jaden). I shall see how the silliness strikes me 😎✌️
Thank you for the kind words, definitely more silly panels coming this chapter for sure 🥰🥰

Those clothes are all coming from Ari! 🤣🤣 hence jaden asks where she’s getting all the clothes!
Crypty
Ah I see so Ari is pulling the new clothes out f her sleeves like a chain of colorful handkerchiefs.
rustyhearts
A magician never reveals her secrets 🤫

Seeing Ari throw away the CHAIR as a part of the makeover made me chortle outloud XDD
rustyhearts
The chair was part of the dweeby appearance, apparently. Had to go 😤😤

Can’t wait to see Jaiden in the sharpest suit. I hope she gets that large-shoulders-OOMF 🥰

Ah, so when I suggest it is bad, but when Ari actually does it everyone claps…smh…😩😩
Parniya’s biggest fan
Jaden: *comes out in a suit*
Blaire: wow see babe? I told you he was a man 🤷🏻♀️
rustyhearts
OUGH >:/

Was this…was this a Mulan reference? “We’re gonna turn this sow’s ear…Into a silk purse”

Nope! But I can see the similarity in the line structure 😅
Nonnie
Ari:
Wait and see
When I’m through
Girls will gladly go to dance with you
With good suit
And a great hairdo
You’ll bring honor to YONIQUE
ew.
this is literally sexual assault.

Ms. Clicker
Oh sister. I can’t wait for the three parragraph tumblr post + the 15 minute youtube video about this one lmao

your jumps to conclusions put olympians to shame

I wonder how people would feel about this page if it was Babygirl instead of Ari.

I wonder how people would feel about this page if it was a rampaging moose instead of Ari. Really makes you think 🤔🤔

>someone defending Babygirl
So the TIMs that beat Jaden were fine with it because Jaden was being a “meanie”???
Gregarious
I like how Blossom ducks down as if this is a quarterly occurrence with Ari giving a makeover.
rustyhearts
It’s certainly not her first time witnessing a bouncer make-over 🤣
K
At this point Ari could re-outfit half the participants, looks like! Maybe she should, actually. There’s a decent chance it’d leave everyone in flat shoes. Also, I hope Jaden will be happy with the result! Doesn’t sound like her opinion was being consulted, hah.
rustyhearts
Omg I love the idea of her whisking around the room and magic-tricking people into different footwear 🤣
Results coming next week 😎😎
Celina
Classic makeover scene! Can’t wait to see how gorgeous Jaden will turn out 😍💓🩷💓🩷!
rustyhearts
All to be revealed next week 🥰🥰

And isn’t funny how there’s already a movie about the Coyote sueing Acme for all the damage it was done against him, but there’s no funds to be shown.

The Olympic reachers out in droves today it would seem 🤣🤣

It feels like Paris 2024, except for the straw reaching medal.

ari is rapidly becoming a new fave <3 love her panache! also ruth’s unfazed expression is hilarious – just another day at yonique ;D

In the trash it goes, like it should be.
