i really enjoyed this update/the scene thus far, how raw (?) it feels emotionally if that's the right word.. also lola's visible shift from kinda joking with sugar to concern/maybe guilt when sugar gives her that look. thanks again for the quality content
Ive been following this comic for a while now and honestly i just
i am in love with it. there needs to be more comics like this one out in the world. everything feels very real and raw and its not prettied up to be appealing. lola and sugar both feel like people i'd know in real life (in fact ive had a few friends who are like either one or both)
i really just want to hug the two of them (if theyd allow it). i can relate to a lot of their struggles re: mental illness and gender and family (esp lola with their case of having a bad family life yet not hating their parents)
i love this comic so so much. sugar's breakdowns are so real and i also love the way you draw her big, big tears coming from her big, big eyes. and lola's nervous laughter- i love the little character details.
i never really got the "no one else in a 50-mile radius will even see me anymore" til i got diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder (they're different tho) and everyone started treating me differently, like they were afraid of me because everyone knew it, and I can see why sugar would be uncomfortable with that especially considering her lines in later scenes. still giving me emotions like 2 years later, this is such a good comic
i love how you don't glorify crying, or make it cute or beautiful, or to warrant pity in any way. visually i see it's someone so overwhelmed with such painful, horrible emotions that it's pouring out of their face.
There's a special set of feelings that come when a person breaks up with you for mental health concerns. Another set when your therapist breaks up with you for the same reason. Poor sugar. I feel for her more and more as time goes on. From everything from being too much for even the people who are trained to handle, to the breakdowns of coming off meds, to the ability to reason one way for herself and another for other people. I love her!!
