    Chapter 45

    Jackson has cocky eyebrows. It's just who he is, there's no point pretending otherwise.

    Chapter 45

    Jackson has changed so much. So pensive and bittersweet now. That guy who didn't even open recruitment packages a few months ago is now burdened by "will Luke come to Georgia?," "can Luke come to Georgia?" A beautiful night with his beautiful friends. But so much (over)thinking, and when he finally got into it in the club and started to cut loose, the music stopped. "I knew, without a doubt, that I would miss these people."

    Tension

    That first scene was great. It's cool that we already know Jonathan so well that he can have that high-impact presence in the scene without any need to jam it up with background information. And all kinds of other fun new subplots getting fired up! Green shoots for spring!
  4. That's a beginning of a turn for the better for River. War sounds bad in the long run.
  5. This ship has sailed. There's gonna be a mess. It's gonna be fun, but there's no way it ain't gonna be a mess.
  6. Shake it! Shake it! SHAKE HIM! 😈👿
  7. Berky isn't gonna like this. 🐻

    Sol Mundy! Maybe Zhiv is up to saving the world, after all !
  9. Pretty sure this ship has sailed, travelled, and is pulling in to port as we speak.
  10. Whatever small awareness the crowd might have had of the of the pink ballon-girl vanished, as Slicky Two-tits stalked onto the dance floor.
  11. I somehow didn't pick this up in chapter 1, but River seems to be a title character. We seem to be on a nice slow burn here, but I guess soon we'll come to a spork in the road?
  12. SO much cockblocking. But whatever Zoey's up to might be needed here... does the double-negative rule apply in these cases? The scooby gang better get this figured out.
  13. “Let’s not make this into a teenage drama movie." Oh Zoey, you are a wonderful friend, and usually wise and kind, but the muses of love and comedy have deserted you tonight, my heart. Although perhaps they're just being suffocated inside an inexplicable pink balloon, and about to emerge in burst of latex-slick nightclub coolness. “There’s no way I can think about this clearly while I’m so deep in it.” 👿😈

    Sopas. Or ice cream. I feel Rufus might be an ice cream guy.

    Chapter 12

    They could make soup following some fun recipes they found on online

    Chapter 12

    I think Tyler is playing this quite smartly. Rufus needs this, and Tyler's not gambling for more right now, because he can't afford to lose. Even Tyler's Dad, who specializes in not understanding, can understand guy-whose-Dad-just-died-needs-a-hug without descending into panic about whether or not it's gay.
  17. @Thirdly & @LunaM. , I really appreciated this story, and the work that went into the storytelling, the illustrations, and the translation. The war has made me pay a lot more attention over the last year to how people think in Eastern Europe. It was a real gap for me that I didn't think very much or know very much about the region and the way people thought and lived. Most North Americans don't. Ed and Wilhelm and Alex are characters I wouldn't have met or thought about, and I'm really glad you shared them with us.

    Chapter 11

    Beautiful description of Tyler pushing through to the better new Tyler.
  19. Here's hoping there's someone for everyone in Sunny Hill
  20. Maddox and Jonathan's story was a triumph of love... but this is seems to be heading for one giant set-piece romantic cat-ass-trophe. 😈👿

    Chapter 6

    Yup. Although I also buy that what she's described is the only path she can imagine. It's sort of hard to tell if a) she just lacks imagination for a better future that would include compassion, integrity, and love for Tyler, or if b) she's exactly right, and if he comes out he's in for tragedy and misery and a permanent schism with his father. It's always sad when people aren't able to love who they love, but the idea that it simply isn't safe to come out is sometimes entirely rational.

    Chapter 5

    I that as in "that's so Rufus" from Never Been Kissed , Rufus the great lover but for clueless teens?

    Chapter 2

    yeah, Tyler's got some growing to do, but that's pretty standard for 15
  24. There's nothing ugly about my plums. Which Rusty's head is resting on at the moment. There's nothing distracting about this, I'll just read A Kingdom to Plunder for a bit. Not distracted. 😈 nkjguigty7fgyhv
  25. Perhaps in a colder and stickier alternate timeline, there is such a catboy. There's better and worse ways to become sticky, of course. 😈
