A special thank you to one of my discord ladies, Mare, greatest hetero ally, who helped me sort out Blaire's hair. I've hated how inconsistent it's been - mostly due to me not being able to draw it at certain angles.
Mare was really helpful in pinning down a shape. I've been jokingly referring to her as Blaire's hair stylist lmao. ย
That meme of the woman holding a guy and angry pointing but it’s me holding riley and pointing at blaire
Blaire stop being butchphobic challenge
Wow! I’m so amazed by your art. Last panel Riley is harrowing, I feel for her!
That flashback makes it look like Blaire presents on a surface-level as trying to be supportive, but in actuality she’s ignoring what Riley is saying and pushing Riley to be a certain way.
If I told a boyfriend, “I don’t think I like sports” and he responded, “There’s no rush, babe! Maybe you don’t like football, but you could also like basketball or baseball! Exploring sports in a non-traumatic way might make your sports interests clearer.”
I’d raise an eyebrow, wonder what he was talking about, and feel pressured to like some kind of sports to please him because sports must mean a lot to him if he wants me to explore more sports and be into them so badly.
Also, Riley is so introspective! That last panel is loaded with a lot of meaning and questions. I get the sense Riley feels pressured to be a certain way for Blaire. Riley is deep diving into what it could mean if she did go along with what Blaire wants.
Riley questioning whether her own mother would still talk to her if she was a trans man makes me wonder what Riley’s mother is like. Is Riley’s relationship with her mother that shaky that something like that could cause it to collapse? The way Riley has acted throughout this entire comic does make me question a lot about what her upbringing was like.
I want to give Riley a hug.
Blaire washes Riley’s brains out with the smile on a face?
poor riley ๐ i rly want to hug her rn!!
its crazy how accurate this portrayal of blaire is. ive seen this stuff happen with my own two eyes. love the comic!
Blaire is a devastatingly accurate portrayal of how unwittingly misogynistic trans theorists can be. Been there, called myself a “non-woman”, projected that gobbledegook onto other lesbians, and can’t believe that I thought I was helping anyone.
Noooo Riley! I’m finally getting caught up after not reading for several months and I love the way you colored Riley’s flashbacks! I know Blaire is probably trying to be nice but she looks so menacing in this one.
Blair, sweetie, bestie, my most problematic of faves… please use one of your braincells i KNOW you have them and you can use them to stop making your poor girlfriend feel so bad
Also if we ever see riley’s parents its on SIGHT I’m pulling a gwenpool and reaching into the comic to fucking bite them
Relate to this page a lot as a woman who hasnโt hit her full peak yet.
protect riley from lesbophobes and gender theorists
