CH10P59
Posted on 5 December 2022 by rustyhearts

I have LOVED reading through all the different perspectives re: the Jaden/Josie argument. Really makes me feel good as a writer.  And I can only imagine the different reactions to watching Jaden get this tattoo are like:

 

Girlies on Jaden's side:

    ruth is awesome. reporting male applicants? providing new hires with self defense training? she knows how to support her community

    You should feel good as a writer! I’ve read a lot of lesbian-focused works in which family/friends are clear cut villains to be overcome. And we should definitely have these kinds of stories, since so often family is in fact dangerous to lesbians (as portrayed by alexis’s family…). But I appreciate Leasebound because it depicts interesting and realistic conflicts between women who really do love each other and want the best for each other (jaden & josie, riley and blaire). Ultimately all of these relationships are made worse under conditions of male oppression. Blaire has allied herself with the oppression but what kind of woman would she be if she didn’t feel she has to be feminine in order to feel comfortable and powerful?

    Side-note, I now have to admit I am more invested in jaden/alexis than jaden/riley… consequence of the latter being a slow burn, I know XD

    Sorry if the writing is poor, english is my second language

      Ruth wrote that male applicants will be reported because she wasn’t legally allowed to write “will be hunted for sport” on the job listing website 😔😔


      I love your analysis and I’m really glad you’re enjoying the direction I’m taking these relationship dynamics. It’s like you said, there’s a place for villains (and there will definitely be some in LB) but I feel there’s a certain tragedy to those who love and care for eachother, but can’t communicate it in a way the other person understands.


      I completely understand going harder for Alexis/Jaden at the moment! I don’t like cheating plots so I haven’t tried to make anything overtly romantic happen between Riley and Jaden. Anything that COULD be read as romantic could just as easily be read as a growing friendship.


      And pleade never apologize for your English! If you hadn’t told me it was an additional language you speak, rather than your native tongue, I wouldn’t have known! And if I didn’t understand something I can always clarify.


      You’re doing ME the favour speaking English. So thank you 🥰🥰
