this was so phenomenal! From the art to the story I didn't even realize how many pages it was because I just flew through it. This honestly works really well as a fairy tale since its even got a thematic throughline of how what Bella wants is ignored by the other people in her life, even those who truly do love her, and how in the end she takes matters into her own hands to be with the one she loves and lift her own curse.

if giving my blood to a vampire protected me from mosquitos id have no hesitation in signing up

now this is what im talking about

well now that shes realized she loves her then isnt the next step tongue

hook line and sinker

maybe if we try hard enough we can all collectively pretend the male lead is actually a trans woman and forcefem them in our minds

I wonder was there coordination between the shavian transliteration and the toki pona tl or was that just coincidence

Even with the broken telephone the doggirl throughline stayed pretty strong

wow that's a lot of miserable cranks in the comments, I bet they didn't even see the sick ass pose.

Fun pranks are a dying art out here, keep it up yuri comrades

If I'm miserable it's because "pranks" like this aren't funny to me.

It's not hurting anyone so in this case you can just roll your eyes and move on if you don't personally like it.

I was able to read "sorry, mommy's tired" before I decided it was too much work to learn the alphabet to get the chapters earlier.

Wow I'm impressed that you even put the tl notes pages in uhhh the shavian alphabet, good work.

We have shed the inefficiencies of our past and move onward into the glorious shavian future, (I tried to put a shavian word here but it turns out dynasty's forum actually doesn't support those characters and blocked it)

theyve decided to work together to solve the mystery~ gay times will be abundant im sure

Happy End

"I can't let her be gay because people will be homophobic to her, and that would cause her suffering", is some logic that loops right back around to being homophobic and causes her daughter suffering by not accepting her. She should be someone that is supportive and there for her daughter no matter what, even if people are assholes to her daughter at least she'd be an important pillar of support...

Also I can't believe the mom died at the end of the chapter, RIP

My dad said the exact same thing to me when I came out as trans, or at least the same underlying reasoning. Though much wordier and more hurtful things lol. It's a shockingly common viewpoint for people who are fine with queer stuff on the surface but never really seriously consider anything about queer people.

Now this is interesting. The backstory of peachtown wasn't something I expected to see in this story, let alone that Mu Xiaoen herself literally did invest to create the peach orchards from the ground up.

This is honestly pretty relatable from a US perspective too with a town where all the jobs were centered around a factory that then closes.

I will speak out in favor of getting clam jammed by the alarm, in the sense that Mai was keeping a cool head (at least on the surface) by playing the role of Misaki, the sex worker, for whom Asumi is just a client.

Now that they've exchanged contact info, their next meeting is almost certainly going to be outside of the confines of a sex worker/client relationship, and I'm very much looking forward to how they both handle that. Mai especially.

Also yeah it's hilarious that Asumi got so pent up from that whole bait and switch with Mai that she went into an internet cafe and got off for half an hour lmao

Looks like Nana is gonna have a chance to prove herself to Alice quite soon lmao

This is shaping up to be a real morass of horrible unhealthy toxic miscommunication and one sided feelings, and I'm loving it

The unspoken emotions and mutual tension between them is unbearable. So many things obscured off the page with just a glimpse at each of their feelings and a hint at developments.

i really want to… i need to know exactly what Xian Jun thinks about more half her audience shipping their protagonists' moms.

*checks her weibo*

ok, never mind, she might actually low key ship them herself

leaving this comment without any evidence is cruel haha

Damn, Mom's being written too believably as a depressed Asian mother...I dunno what the author's intentions are but I actually don't want the moms to hook up? I really feel like sometimes there really is a time and place for everything and them pairing up would really be a bit too convenient and almost take away from the snippets of realism with Luxi's upbringing to have both daughters and mothers pair up. Though an arc where Tong Tong's mom plays wingwoman for Luxi's mom's post-divorce romantic adventures would be welcome.

I feel the same way, but honestly I trust Xian Jun enough that I'd be happy with either a romantic or a platonic relationship budding between them. I think either way could work if its handled with tact and care. I do appreciate that the mother's reasons for acting this way are so realistic, and I am hopeful for an arc that does let Luxi and her mom re-establish a good relationship with one another based on mutual trust.
