I am absolutely VIBRATING with excitement, waiting for the outcome of all this

oooooh my gosh i really did not think she was going to go all out yet!!! im so nervous!! drunk is sooo not the time to have this convo. poor riley!!! the first time being inebriated in any way (especially when you don’t really know what to expect) can be really disorienting and confusing when you’re already prone to anxiety, i hope she’s not too bothered by it longterm because i know personally i did not react well to the feeling of not being fully in control of my body. hopefully she’ll be okay

though admittedly, as much as i vehemently disagree with blaire and everything she stands for, it would also be a pretty jarring discovery for her. like, the first time her girlfriend gets drunk she finds out that they completely disagree on something she’s been pushing on her that’s a major deal, super integral to both of their belief systems, and has just kind of been going along with what she says. it would definitely feel like she’d been lied to which would probably feel at least a little malicious.

blaire’s gone about it all in the exact wrong way and definitely retraumatized riley but i do have to admit it’d be such a stark, confusing change that one second you’re so in love and happy and hooking up in washrooms and whatever and the next she’s seemingly saying things you don’t recognize in her even though you’d thought you were on the same wavelength. all in all it’s just a bad situation to be in.

there’s so many ways this could go, like, they start shouting and so other women get involved and blaire brands this as a terf bar (kind of inevitable) or blaire decides riley’s too drunk to know what she’s talking about so she decides to have the conversation at a later date where riley’s alone, or blaire tries to ambush her with her train army to transplain it to her but there is just…….. no good answer for riley i fear

i LOVE the art and writing for the last few chapters. the atmosphere for this chapter has been especially impeccable, i can’t believe blaire’s squandering such a beautiful evening in favour of gendering someone she barely knows. seriously such a waste of what could be an amazing evening. everything’s just soooo pretty and i love it.

i’ve been rereading LB over the last week and i’m just so monumentally impressed with how far you’ve come with everything. it’s honestly just so impressive and obviously you get this a lot so i hope it’s not too annoying to repeat but it just can’t be said enough how refreshing it is to see normal looking women who aren’t all hairless, hyper feminine and stick thin. it’s baffling how frowned on those things are even among lesbians so i just loooove coming back here and not having to see it. it’s like a vacation lol.

sidenote: i hope you’re doing well!!

Riley’s saying what we’ve all thought at one point or another. What IS the difference, Blaire? I’m so excited to see how this conversation shakes down.

the floodgates have OPENED!

Holding a microphone to Blaire’s face: “Go ahead Blaire, tell us. Preach. Fuck it up white girl”

Doubt it will happen but i hope riley keeps just saying what she thinks and asking questions just completely unable to stop herself all while turning into more and more of a monster physically ❤️❤️❤️

RILEYYYYYYY YOU WILL BE REBORN AS A BEAUTIFUL LOTUS FLOWER

Have I mentioned yet that I absolutely love how you choose the panels where Riley shows her “monstrous” / Apostate form? It’s always so, so deliberate. It’s such a cool way to visualize how it feels to be asking these kinds of questions, and especially how it would feel FOR HER, considering the environment she grew up in. I know a lot of readers were frustreated with her for not speaking out sooner, but it’s hard! It feels bad, and wrong, and scary!

Also, the fact that Riley’s eyes are gone again… We only saw that one very short glimps of her eye in this monster design, and I miss it. I really hope we’re gonna get to see a full shot of her in this form at some point (even though I love the choice to just have it “peeking through” for now

Omg please Blaire wake up 😭😭😭 I know there’s a brain in there somewhere
