My heart…this scene moved to tears. Just “…he had different ways of manipulating us! Neither of us deserved it!” is really comforting to read as someone who experienced something similar. Thank you. You handled it beautifully.
Ohhhh this made me cry…I was in an emotionally abusive relationship a couple years ago and the way Ada is reacting to her own trauma hits home a lot. Khimaera helping her to set boundaries and communicate her needs really got me in my heart because that’s the thing I struggle with most as an after-effect of the abuse and it was healing and affirming to see Ada have guidance with that. Sorry if this is too personal, I just really love this comic and it means a lot to me to see some of the stuff I’m dealing with portrayed so well within it, thank you.
aw, hershel, I’m so sorry you went through that stuff. it’s really humbling to know this hits home, though. from the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing. ❤
“Of course, thank you for saying something” <33333 (I'm not crying you're crying)
I love how he shows her, with an example, what it's like, how she can act, when it's safe, or that he's safe? (urgh, words)
also on an unrelated note I love how you draw mouths (particularly Khimaera's mouth from the side in the second-to-last page, and Ada's mouth from the front in the last page)
