making me see the answer with Tiffany and then sucker punching me in the head with Alexis….. you don’t HAVE to do it to ‘em, Rusty……

FAIIIITH MY BABY !!!!
Violet still being the coolest mom ❤️ it reminds me of my own mom playing tetris for us and super mario 🥺
 

and ruth ! Wanting the haters to know they are Blocked ! Don’t worry Ruth, people deduce they are blocked if the site doesn’t tell them directly.
 

And Jaden ;_; right in the heart ToT

Ugh Jaden love I’m so sorry 😥 It’ll get better I promise, just hold on, your butch in shining button ups is on her way!

Also Violet helping Faith beat the game and Faith helping Ruth with technology is so fricken cute and relatable, I honestly love all her interactions with the LB ladies, this is how childrearing should be imo, the nuclear family dyanamic where the woman does all the actual work and the man is the “breadwinner” who doesn’t have to do shit because he fucks off half the day and does the “real work” is honestly one of the worst things to come out of the patriarchy, love seeing communal childrearing 🤗
 

Please tell me Tiffany get’s what’s coming to her? I don’t usually like seeing men tear down women but I want to see Tif try it on with a GC tehm and get roasted so bad… she’ll prolly still find a way to blame a woman for it tho 😒

If men hate “toxic masculinity” (patrairchy/misogyny backfiring) so much why do they not get flack like “CB’s” for still identifying as men Tiffany? Hmm? Also I thought you couldn’t choose how you identify? Did you just misgender agender anon?! Good thing Tiffany’s hypocrisy goes ignored by the other QT’s because with the amount of transphobia this girl be spittin, Mr. Milkers would have D cups by now 😨

“if you have to ask the difference between cis bitches and trans women you’re probably not agender.”
this seems like a pretty crude bioessentialist answer kai, are you saying there are obvious differences between trans women and cis women?

i don’t see gender because i’m a gender abolitionist (which is a thing plenty of nonbinary people are btw, check your binary privilege to assume im not). you’re using your male privilege rn to oppress me just bc i don’t conform to your idea of what an agender person should look or sound like. unlike you, i CAN’T distinguish between cis and trans women bc i’m not a transphobic bio essentialist fascist. babygirl and blaire are exactly the same at the core beyond superficial differences and deserve to be treated as such because they’re obviously both women who deserve respect.

in summary, fuck you, your ugly boyfriend doesn’t even wipe his ass, and your eyeshadow looks like shit, bye.

did i win? anyways my desire to hit this asshole with a car goes stronger every day. i never want to see babygirl in a panel again but i would looooove to see kai get corrected for being such a mean girl.

 
someone should point out that HEY KAI it would really girl babygirl euphoria if you stopped treating him differently than all the other women so maybe you should just start treating all women better (bc babygirl obviously doesn’t deserve to be ostracized, right?).

 
this is my cope for a canonical way that would force kai to treat blaire better
 
anyways i’m thinking too hard about this. damn you rusty, why did you do this to my brain on a beautiful sunday afternoon

Why doesn’t Blaire become a she/they to roast Kai and get her to realize that she’s being that one girl in every yaoi? You know what I mean.

ya Allah i’d say touch grass but at this point i dont think even that can save kai i think she needs to work as a farmhand for a good 3-4 years

Awww Ruth and little Faith bonding over their own generational gap lmao. And it’s so cool how her mom is literally a gamer; Violet, the next jazzyguns, hello???
 

And I kneeeewwwww Jaden’s answer was going to be emotional, like….asking on emo music, like it wasn’t one of the main reasons she connected with Alexis– you all knew what you were doing. Though the image of Jaden next to her teenage self was pretty nice!

Also…comon gyns, you all knew how that tiff question was gonna go. Might as well just have picked your favorite– NB/trasmisogyny exempt/23/ACAB/TERFS AND FREAKS DON’T INTERACT and just drop that in her mailbox. I know y’all got tumblr, so you can do it, lol

I BET the man that Ruth wanted to block was a TIM 😂

Oh god damnit MJ! I overall think she’s one of the better people out of the gendies, but I’m so disappointed here… Before she actually seemed/looked slightly uncomfortable with some of Tiffany’s shit, but I guess at the end of the day if she enables it then she’s supporting it.
 

The other comics are adorable too – absolutely love seeing Faith’s dynamic with the adults in her life. Seeing Alexis again was a sad surprise… I really hope that eventually we’ll get to see her in the present again, but I’m not holding my breath.

Hey Rusty,
I binged the whole story a few months ago and wanted to come back to say, I love your work and I’m really looking forward to chapter 12.

As both a reader and a comic artist I’ve been looking for more radfem/GC comic artists to follow but I’ve had little joy. I’d love to get some recommendations if you know of any.

cheers

Genuine question. Why do you choose to refer to Blaire’s friends by their birth names rather than the names they want to be called (with the notable exception of Babygirl, whose birth name I don’t remember because I don’t think you’ve used it in a while)? Regardless of how you feel about their gender, names are just names. Many names in LB are commonly considered gender neutral: Kai, Brick (I guess?), Alexis, Riley, Jaden, Blaire, Clancy…you get the idea. So I know you don’t have a problem referring to women with names that aren’t considered exclusively feminine.
