    Chapter 9

    Rufus is far braver right now because he’s got less to lose especially in social status.

    I sad faced this bc I know how much pain it took to write
  3. I was thinking the same thing last night

    Chapter 4

    The humbling convo the boys had the day before seems to have woken something in Tyler. His backbone going a bit more PDA just before is a surprise admittedly but a good one I think..though I’m still not sold on the change. Tyler, to his credit, even had a brief imagined thought at what it must be like for Rufus to share a room with his brother. The next chapter will be interesting

    Chapter 3

    Of course as I say that, I was a socially awkward type like Rufus at that age and the target of an abuser athlete older student too. I didn’t know any better or wouldn’t have listened either. 😞

    Chapter 3

    It took a bit but I recognize now who Tyler is. The spoiled yet confidently affable kid who’s used to getting his way with zero concept of how he sounds to others. He’s a complete stuck up ass to Rufus in school and frankly, if I were Rufus, at that age, I’d call him out. Tyler forgets HE is the one who sought Rufus’s partnership regardless if there was more false pretenses. Speaking of those false pretenses, the writer does a good job at portraying Tyler as a little narcissistic ass complete with the delayed realization of his behavior towards Rufus. His apology felt canned. Rufus sweetie, can this project and ditch this douche bag. You’re too good for him.
  7. I know how you feel. There are off shoots with other characters Comsi has written though that are alternate perspectives from other characters within this world. It isn’t quite the same but close
  8. get that poor kid who couldn’t handle the spicy chicken nugget a frosty! 😂

    Chapter 11

    Ok this chapter is ended very well. However, I want to focus on mom’s behavior in the beginning. First off whoa how many times does he have to tell her she’s gone way too far? That conversation would’ve ended in a shouting match and undoubtedly a panic attack for me. She completely continued to press not respecting his requests at all.

    Chapter 8

    Sigh .. good chapter. Glad it was brief. I say that bc I’ve been there in James’ spot except I didn’t have that friend in Jackie. Or Roy for that matter. My parents didn’t find out. But I was captivated by a hottie of an athlete in high school that the popular crowd loved and enabled. Unfortunately, he got his way😔

    Chapter 3

    “What old person was going to ride it away? ”- that’d be me when I get to that stage no doubt and just as irritable as Lillian. I like her! 😂

    Chapter 1

    Ok I’m enjoying this so far I can definitely relate to James’s experience with a teacher who uses embarrassment to assert dominance and control. I’m assuming he and Jackie are Sophomores? So 14-15yo? I grew up in my teens in the 90’s so things weren’t so violent with regards to the removed part. To me however, intimidation and embarrassment are still a mild form of abuse just harder to prove. 5 days is pretty stiff for telling a teacher to shut up in my day. It would warrant a hefty extra curricular assignment you don’t get credit for. Especially for a first offense. I had classmates at this age flip teachers off and walk out. I have no doubt punishment was issued later I think.
  15. That kid is phenomenal
  16. I’m not sick. Just seeing the behavior of corporate medicine. They’re just as under the thumb of the govt as the media
  17. thx Comsi. I’m ok. Just less than trusting with govts.🤷🏻‍♂️
  18. Some of you've seen some of my comments on my trauma. C-ptsd. C for Complex. It means multiple events or similar ones over a long period of time like domestic abuse, parental abuse, what have you. I’m a decent Shinedown fan and of Brent Smith’s solo work and this song I’ve heard a few times since they released it but I never really gave it a hard listen until tonight. Checking out the official video it reminds me of when I was ..heh..well I wasn’t doing very well and could’ve really benefited from a few hugs and then some for sure. Kinda like the girl in the video. I post this because I know a lot of us suffered with abuse and a lot more of us suffer still at our own abuse from our own thoughts. Having been someone who tried to quit life once as a suicide survivor, please hear me now. Breathe. It’ll be ok. It may not all work out the way we want or intended but it’ll be ok. Take one day at a time. Don’t force too high of expectations onto yourself. You’re setting yourself up for something you might not handle very well so lower the bar. Take your time, sightsee on this journey. LIVE. There’s no rushing life when you take the time to enjoy it. You’re worth it. Love yourself. You’re gonna be ok.
  19. That it did. Don’t think it’s over yet because it isn’t. I’m in health care. They’re still scared of this shit. They shouldn’t be but they are. I’ll take my tin foil hat off now.
  20. Bingo. That should teach him lol..or not 🫣
  21. Idk where my initial comment disappeared to so here’s a second attempt. some GFD/Shelter similarities I noticed, and for the record, I love it. Jake - Justin Alex - Taryn Donovan - Dion/Max* Preston - Dylan* Walker - The Kid* *Easily a blend of both characters into one
  22. Cain is absolutely correct.
