Oh no… well…can’t say I blame him.

They should’ve kept the laptop. It can be used against the pastor criminally . But this has just begun. Hopefully they made it to an adjacent town where the authorities aren’t bought and paid for. charges could be pressed to the parents too.

Bingo

Oh no .. I was afraid of this

I have many thoughts here. I don’t even know how to react to the chapter other than it was well written. I’ve been in Matt’s spot except I didn’t have religious zealots as parents. I can definitely relate to his struggle though. That said, I recognize a lot of similarities in our lives and it is from that position that I comment. I am deeply concerned for Matt’s mental welfare. Until I finished the chapter I worried he might be toying with self harm. From his perspective after he ran from home, he had little to point to for support. He doesn’t see how much those around him care about him. Well, except for his parents but I’ll get to that shortly. His lack of self esteem is toxic to himself and that is most assuredly brought about by his abusive parents. It’s pretty clear that while his parents aren’t physically abusive to him, they are very abusive mentally and emotionally. That said, I’m disgusted by their response to Matt’s injury. Their religious beliefs are blinding them and kudos to Matt for finding his backbone both to James and to Matt’s parents. Kudos to Ricky for coming out to Matt. Kudos to Matt for not resisting Ricky’s attempts at sharing how much he cares for him. Clearly Matt is still confused and has a lot of question. I’d love to see Ricky’s story from HIS perspective especially of these events and going forward. Perhaps one day maybe @Ronyx? This is a very good start.

It wouldn’t shock me if, even though Matt didn’t answer him, his father would assume he’s gay for simply defending Charles.

Matt seems finally aware after having been blind to Ricky for a long time. That’s my take anyway. Matt’s parents are essentially abusive and is building into a combustible environment for sure.Matt’s one safe outlet from all that just got scared. Matt should’ve chased Ricky to stop him after he ran out the door but it’s clear the kiss was so unexpected it threw him from doing what he would’ve done at any other time. Great start.

Here’s another for the same reason

I can’t help but think about Justin on the pier of Lake Michigan before he meets Taryn in Gone From Daylight when I listen to this song. This also applies to Taryn in Taryn’s Song too as he’s fleeing the apt in chapter 10 with his little brother.

I can’t help but think of what Taryn is going through when I listen to this song. Likewise much the same for Justin later before Taryn meets him on the pier of Lake Michigan

You’re right. It’s almost passive aggressive cheating. Not physically cheating but emotionally cheating and Randy doesn’t want to admit it.

More!

I have to take it slow too. Trevor is too manipulative for me for too long. Taryn isn’t listening to his 6th sense too well. I think that’s his biggest flaw right now.

Ty!! You

It’s been pulled 😭

They’re gonna get spotted and casted as Trevor and Michael aren’t they? A couple of the girls might get casted as Jenny and Rain.. that would be brilliant.

I wouldn’t be worried about Ryan for Randy but Shawn is cringe worthy for sure

“And as a few people were still clapping for us in the background, Parker lightly lifted my chin with two fingers, and with a smile...he whispered, “I love you...because you saved me.”” awwwwwweeeeeeeee! Omg Comsi!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGG!!!!! That ending was sooooo cute!!! I want to squeal myself!! 😂

Gary reminded me of Comicality in this chapter. These two boys are too cute together

Sorry dude. I’m itchin’. When can we hope to see more?

Ok..OMG BOI!!!!! This was a lit chapter for so many reasons. First off, Parker…(fans myself) you are even finer for showing your backbone both for flashing your topless boy bod off to Kevin like that and THEN daring Brett to step up like that. Mmm..I love a boy who will stand up to haters. I love the fact Parker has zero filter but also has tact and is sensitive enough to pick up on Kevin’s jealousy. All that is soo appealing. These two are cute and sexy all in one and dammit Comsi you did it AGAIN.

I second that.

Simmer down dude. Don’t get all jelly just yet.

Ok it’s been a year nearly since we’ve seen another chapter and a month for me since I got into your Magnum Opus, Comicality. I need more of Justin and Taryn. I am trying to work my way through Fanboy which is easier than Taryn’s song bc I really don’t like Trevor and he gives me super cringes and reminds me of my abuser in ways. I wasn’t gonna post a comment about this but it’s been a few days since I thought about doing so and I can’t stand it anymore. It’s Justin that I want to read about. I hope you have a new chapter ready to post soon.
