Thanks for releasing a PDF version! I’ll definitely buy a copy :)
Oooooh! And the thick plottens!
Rochi, you stop that now, I’m in his class as we speak! (Our geometry teacher says that all the time) Anywho, sorry I’m late for the comments but this page was so interesting to see. I figured before that being synthetic was not something Sulla had in common with Titus because you could see everyone (except Sulla’s) breath in the previous page. It’s slowly starting to make sense, expecially with Titus’ message to Sulla back in chapter three when they wrote ‘You can call me Titus’. It seemed a bit odd that everyone else called them ‘Ty’ but they told Sulla she could call them ‘Titus’. Then I noticed that Titus’ speech bubble was a tad wobbly, almost like they spoke in an either hushed or husky manner. This page here made the whole thing make sense. Man, I can’t wait to see more character development, this is great!
Eh, I figured the kinship Sulla felt was gender-identity-related from the second we saw Titus’s face, I thought that was obvious… but I didn’t see the breaths detail! You got a keen eye, and Blue, that’s such a neat detail! :D
I thought the synthetic thing at first only because Titus looked up at the exact moment Sulla looked at them, which reminded me of when Al was spotted at Lem’s when he was by himself. Then I thought it was probably gender related. The breath detail kind of confirmed that for me
titus is so painfully relatable i weep (not literally but in my soul or whatever)
PRONOUNS. I wonder if Erika knows that she’s driving a verbal fist into her friend’s gut when she does that.
Maybe she is or maybe she’s not. It depends whether Ty/Titus is trans or genderfluid. They are likely keeping it from their other friends, though.
Ugh. Yeah. I bit down hard when I saw that. I wonder if they have any idea how much it hurts when somebody you care about just casually uses your old pronouns. It’s like they’re saying “you’re not who you say you are, and you never will be, and I’ll *never* see you the way you see yourself”. And that burns like fire.
ugh. My high school experience was a lot like Ty’s.
criiiieees
I feel Titus so hard in these pages. I hadn’t caught that he was trans before now – and now it’s a knife to the gut. Poor guy.
I definitely understand how he’s feeling right now, I just hope he doesn’t turn on Sulla with anger at her double checking who he’s out to and who he’s not. It could be easy to misconstrue Sulla’s concern for a jibe even though it’s def not.
(Using male pronouns as an assumption right now, if this turns out to be retroactively wrong oops)
hey sorry this is maybe nitpicky but as a general rule its probably best to use ‘they’ for anyone whose pronouns you dont know, whether fictional or not!
Got my book yesterday. Thank you so much!
is something going on with comment moderating, blue?
i left something (that i thought was pretty darn genius) a few days ago…..
It had some strong language that didn’t fit in very well with the tone of the last few pages. That’s all.
really?
sorry about that, it wasn’t my intent to cause you distress.
..what was it in reference to (to slake my curiosity)?
