This one hit me right in the feels because ever since Zodiac and I began to grow out hair back out, our mom keeps reminding us of how she used to french braid our hair all the time.
I learned how to braid my own hair when I was a kid and I distinctly remember learning how to do it after watching the Lindsey Lohan Parent Trap movie and one of the camp counselors had a french braid and I was just “I’m gonna do that”
If that isn’t a mood and a half. Ive been on estrogen for a year and I still have trouble believing it sometimes. The imposter syndrome is so fucking real.
Actually having tits and the other physical changes transition has wrought really does help with that. Where I used to dislike my appearance I love seeing it now in mirrors and photos, usually.
I really hope the new body she designs is validating for her and that it’ll help make her feel more authentic, more real, about who and what she is. I know even the base statement of who she is was something she struggled to accept about herself for a long time.
Oh wowwww, that last panel, with the two of them in profile. I mean, they always look alike, obviously, but it’s *so* striking like this. It really is like Al looking at her future.
A FRENCH BRAID!?

Al is gonna make a great momma.
God, the whole “doesn’t feel real to me” is such a mood…

when will i believe in what others have already accepted about me as true?
always a deep and hard question …
“[French braiding] isn’t rocket science”
BUT DRAWING THEM IS GOD DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD

It reminds me of the final lines of the song “In My Daughter’s Eyes”.
Oh, i’m aching.
