Blaire, that is so very not how you react when someone needs to ask something or even gently criticise you. Especially right after saying the other person can ask you anything, and super especially not when that person is obviously distraught. Come on, girl, you’re better than this.
Yes Blaire because it’s a fckn trust issue hjghghfh
Through the steam of my rage I just wanna say A* writing, 10/10. The QT pages were infuriating but funny, like they were on the far side of the glass at an exhibit. To let their BS out like this at the end, while Riley’s trying to protect a new friend, no less… Damn. I feel quite punchy, ahaha.
Gendies really come across as super religious people to me. I think it would be impossible to have a relationship with a person who goes to church, genuinely believes in a god, actively participates in religion. It’s not a disagreement about politics, it’s a disagreement about reality. You can’t say god isn’t real to a religious person, the same way you can’t tell a gendie trans is bullshit. Blaire is a fundamentalist, and it’s very difficult to change their minds. Riley is in a tough spot 🙁
Exactly. TRAs think that when a woman say she wouldn’t date someone into their ideology we’re saying they’re all ugly, or undesirable. I’m sure there are many TIFs out there with great looks and personality, I’ve met them, much like I’ve met Catholic/Evangelic women that are great; but a relationship with highly differing values and principles is bound to fail 99% of the time. Great difference I’d say, it’s that nowadays people allow critiques of christinanity, and most christians know better than to push their beliefs onto people, even if subtlety so.
You question or refute a TRA principle? You can expect a nice call from HR, a social execution on every social media platform you own, and a complimentary label coming in a range between ‘Traitor’ and ‘Gen*cide collaborator’.
I thought something similar, and wondered if feeling that familiarity is also why Riley is, in a sense, willing to put up with that feeling of unease and cognitive dissonance with someone she loves very much— especially within the context of it seeming to be she already lost her mom because her mom is a religious asshole (but Riley still loves her regardless). having to hide how she feels and what she thinks, esp within a religious context, isn’t new to riley i am willing to bet. even though it sucks, it is familiar and to some degree has been more comfortable (because it’s a dynamic she is used to)… until it gets so painfully thrown in her face like this and is finally a straw that breaks the camel’s back. Coming from a very religious background myself, I really understand that and have a lot of sympathy for Riley, even though I’m also frustrated with her 😂😔
I have only noticed now that Blaire’s eyeliner is seen through her hair and I am never going to get it out of my head the idea that the QTs dye their hair so often (like every gender change) that it becomes translucent.
I never thought of it this way, lol.
I always like to show the eyes/eyebrows to make sure the expression is clear. Picked that style choice up from watching anime as a teenager, lol!
Thank you! I was really really getting into this pallet. I’ll definitely be using it for future sunset scenes.
If only Riley could un-know gendie stuff U_U
I think that when Riley finally tells Blaire off Rusty is going to draw her face in that “anime character going insane” fishbowl angle, the panel is going to be a flickering gif lol
No, Blaire, she doesn’t trust you. And it’s manipulative of you to ask it in that tone with that body language at this time, rather than setting it aside for discussion AFTER figuring out what Riley wants to talk about.
Every Sunday I forget that you post severla hours ahead of my time zone. Then I remember! And it’s always a nice lil treat :>
I respect Blaire’s ability to be Creepy and Spooky and love that for her! I love horror movies and terror and she would make a great scream queen I think!
As per male character policy he’s just some creepy guy who harrasses retail workers (female only). He wants gnomes. They don’t sell the ones he wants. Trouble ensues U_U
I’m so confident Blaire is never going to come around based off the “you’ve got a big storm coming” comments but I’m choosing to cope and pretend that maybe that just means it’s going to be a messy arc, maybe she’ll peak eventually and it’ll just be a long road to get there
I embrace her being messy and fucking everything up but at the same time I hope she at least partially realizes the error of her ways and is like “damn. maybe i took this a bit too far with the transing all butch lesbians thing.”
i just read all 11 chapters of this instead of studying for finals, and it was soooo worth it. can’t wait to see what happens next, especially with blaire and jaden. i really do hope that riley and jaden get closer also.
Rusty – Ever since I discovered Leasebound, I have suddenly been excited for each new Monday because of your upload schedule 🙂 Thank you for all that you do!

Ms. Clicker
Riley looks like she just came out of the berserk manga and the Blaire hits her with the yandere gendie look KJSKJSKJS
rustyhearts
You’re not the only one who’s made manga comparisons XD Another friend saw Allmight from BNHA XDD
Catherine
ngl, blaire’s look in the last panel actually sent creepy shivers down my spine
rustyhearts
Sounds like you don’t trust her >:(

rustyhearts
I’d say that punchy feeling is very waranted. Eager to hear if it increases over the next few pages :3
Charly
Oh no not yandere!Blaire… I feel so bad for Riley, I hate how Blaire just walks all over her :/
rustyhearts
Buckle up for the next few pages breastie, oh dear U_U

You both absolutely hit the nail on the head, damn! You just can’t ignore the similarities once you lay them out.

Yandere otome dating sim vibes from Blaire coming on hardcore -shivers-
rustyhearts
exactly as intended >:3

The colours on the last couple of pages are beautiful! Also I want to pick Riley up and put her in my pocket to keep her away from gendie nonsense 😔
rustyhearts
Thank you! I was really really getting into this pallet. I’ll definitely be using it for future sunset scenes.
If only Riley could un-know gendie stuff U_U
Sof
RILEY DON’T TRUST HER. NO. BABY DON’T DO THIS TO YOURSELF 😭
rustyhearts
She can do this!! She can totally have this conversation!! This is gonna go so well!!
Yana
Blair looking straight-up like Yuno in that last panel
Ms. Clicker
I think that when Riley finally tells Blaire off Rusty is going to draw her face in that “anime character going insane” fishbowl angle, the panel is going to be a flickering gif lol
rustyhearts
….Writing that in my little suggestions notebook. Thank you, breastie.
rustyhearts
Perfect! I was channeling Yuno Gasai in that last panel XD
This shot was coming to mind specifically
moh
nailed the cult vibes there i got goosebumps
rustyhearts
excellent >:3c

No, Blaire, she doesn’t trust you. And it’s manipulative of you to ask it in that tone with that body language at this time, rather than setting it aside for discussion AFTER figuring out what Riley wants to talk about.
rustyhearts
Wow, sounds like you don’t trust Blaire >:(
girl she is going to make you into a PURSE (Crypty)
Every Sunday I forget that you post severla hours ahead of my time zone. Then I remember! And it’s always a nice lil treat :>
I respect Blaire’s ability to be Creepy and Spooky and love that for her! I love horror movies and terror and she would make a great scream queen I think!
That being said riLEY GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE.
rustyhearts
Happy to provide a little weekly treat! I’m really feeling this schedule of weekly +1 bonus page a month <3 Consistency pays!
Oh if only running away would solve things U_U Riley's really in it now!
Crypty
Also I need gnome guy lore. As an appreciatetor of gnomes myself.
rustyhearts
As per male character policy he’s just some creepy guy who harrasses retail workers (female only). He wants gnomes. They don’t sell the ones he wants. Trouble ensues U_U
Mary
But… If Blaire believes Riley to be trans, then it’s actually Blaire being the bigoted oppressor and committing Literal Violence here.
I still think I could fix her also.
rustyhearts
I laughed out loud reading this. I love you.
katz
Ma’am what’s with that look?!!!
Getting real Yuno (Mirai Nikki) vibes from the last panel 💀
rustyhearts
You’re not the only one 🤣
Brb
Okay but yandere!Blaire kinda cute tho 😳
rustyhearts
Are you ovulating, ma’am?
coping and lying to myself
I’m so confident Blaire is never going to come around based off the “you’ve got a big storm coming” comments but I’m choosing to cope and pretend that maybe that just means it’s going to be a messy arc, maybe she’ll peak eventually and it’ll just be a long road to get there
I embrace her being messy and fucking everything up but at the same time I hope she at least partially realizes the error of her ways and is like “damn. maybe i took this a bit too far with the transing all butch lesbians thing.”
rustyhearts
i can absolutely guarantee messiness 🥰💖
jamie
i just read all 11 chapters of this instead of studying for finals, and it was soooo worth it. can’t wait to see what happens next, especially with blaire and jaden. i really do hope that riley and jaden get closer also.
rustyhearts
Omg!! Thank you so much for reading – and best of luck on your final!
