Would you say the way you perceive/write about these characters has changed as their character designs have been fleshed out throughout the comic (esp lola), or is it the arc of the story itself that has changed them? This scene feels so different from the first one...
i would say my view of them has changed "only slightly". it may seem different now because you have learned so much about them.
in my document that i keep the script in, i keep a summary of what i want from the story, and a summary of each of the characters to make sure i don't stray too far from how it all started originally (unintentionally).
also a good thing to keep in mind is that almost anyone would act differently than they usually do in a life-or-death situation; for them, that's also true.
I got introduced to this from a friend of mine. And as someone who is also a "little broken" and diagnosed with severe Klinefelter...i really love this. Thank you for sharing it with us.
A buddy of mine introduced me to this and I read through everything in a day. Sugar is so so relatable but in ways that I don't like thinking about. Very good, definitely needed to read it right now.
The line "why does medication work for her but not for me" from many updates back is still ringing in my mind. Can't wait for the next update!
you know what i just noticed. sugar got all excited when lola tilted her head at her maybe cause that's her "yeah we can be romantic" signal. i love these two's relationship they understand each other and everything is consent based and theres conversation i just love them so much
rereading, and one thing that strikes me is the way sugar says "i'm not stupid" a lot. and like, it really drives home that she feels like people assume the worst of her, and that people DO assume she's stupid. it honestly kind of makes me frustrated on her behalf? like, she shouldn't feel like she needs to say that, haha.
rereading a part again and i really appreciate how this is a callback to the first few pages where sugar and lola kiss and sugar coughs out the weedsmoke. i never noticed
panel 9 lola, enthusiastic, cuddly sugar, the shadows of rain streaks on the windows, the shotgunning, the closeness, the banter..... is this my favourite page?? i'd think so!
