“un sweats” bwahaha Jaden is so cute
One big detail of your art that I love is how expressive all the characters are, they have so much personality and it really feels like I’m reading a professional comic with how much attention to detail their mannerisms way of communicating have!
Bless Jaden for overthinking it, she needs to not doubt herself so much!
Omg not the mental math 😭 i love Jadens un-sweat expression lol. And love that she’s helping with those particular holds!!
Instead of “twirling my braid/hair when talking to my crush” meme, it’s the “pulling my hair up in a half-ponytail when talking to Jaden” xD !!!
I’m loving this part of the chapter just as much as the intense flashback of Shez’s backstory. It gives such a big hope that even after going through terrible things at the end of men, women can find solace and strength with other women (more or less platonically huhu).
And I love we’re seeing Jaden with her insecurities but also overcoming them! She too, got to find that strength for meeting other women who are not direct family.
I love that LB-Sunny is asking for something that doesn’t involve violence yet still is about protecting herself, it helps reframe Jaden’s mind onto a different scope that her being a victim of violence was not a skill issue from her, no matter how prepared she was or would have been, she did her best and she came out of it alive. And that’s what matters.
This page makes me very uncomfortable. I’m sp-ed myself, and people like me get mistreated by authority a lot.
When this happened in my classroom, the teachers would tell the kids who’d do this in a way they’d understand. Usually it was a “no hug” said firmly but gently.
Didn’t Ms. Sunny sign up to work there? I don’t want to stop reading your comic, but if this is the way your treatment of people like me in your comic, I don’t think I can keep reading. I’d be willing to be a sensitivity reader if you’d like!
*SCREAMS IN PURE DELIGHT*
Ngl…I’d like to show her some techniques too…and I’m not licensed
saw a gendie on tumblr complaining abt “Sunny’s thoughts on neurodivergent ppl” so i immediately went to see what the latest LB page is and…i’m neurodivergent and this page does not come across as ableist at all to me. it’s phrased pretty respectfully, and as someone who has also worked with sp-ed children, it makes sense that someone would want to learn those techniques.
also, the jaiden “unsweat” panel is so cute lmao
I also was in special education as a child due to being neurodivergent, and as an adult I have a job similar to Sunny, just with adults instead of children.
You’re fine and that comment seemed ridiculous to me. As you yourself point out there’s a huge range of cognitive diversity and levels of impairment and differing ability to understand. Case in point, me vs my clients. If a huge gap DIDN’T exist between us, they wouldn’t BE my clients.
Women being women… cute 🙂 <3
Oof… while I personally don’t take any issue with this page or anything said on it, it’s a bit of a controversial topic so I can’t say I’m surprised it’s ruffled feathers.
I do like the choice though, while ofc Shez’s backstory was very high emotion and understandably dark and violent, it’s nice to see a woman deliberately seeking out a non-violent way of protecting herself.
As an autistic person I’ve been to these kind of classes… and I think it is important to learn boundaries even if it’s hard as a sp-ed.
If she doesn’t want a hug, it’s simple. Being kids, of course she can’t shove them – she wants to be nice about it. She isn’t doing malicious acts… she just has boundaries.
Idk why this is so hard to get! Ms. Sunny isn’t even a major character wtf
I won’t rant because other people said it better than me, but this is another vote for the ‘I’m neurodivergent and this is fine’ crew! Women’s safety is women’s safety, regardless of what form it takes, and this is clearly a low-key, non-combative example.
1st panel is very ‘When you rush to public transportation then remember you forgot to put on deodorant’ 💀 wahahh poor lil Jade, she needs a squishy
Joining the chorus of love for the ‘un-sweats’ panel, because Jaden is too stinkin’ cute. I can almost hear the cartoony sparkly noise as the sweat beads fly away from her.
Been awhile since I last commented and I can’t believe that this page is considered ‘ableist’. What so teachers have to suffer with tight hugs that they can’t get out of? There’s a spectrum of special needs but with those of cognitive disabilities they don’t know their own strength. If no doesn’t work, there needs to be another way to disengage from the hug.
