Oh, there's no way Mira takes this quietly. She strikes me as the one of the two who would say, "She asked for NO PICKLES," so I'm almost looking forward to her facing this casual racism she's clearly unhappy with but likely never considered much

haha, I need to redraw that meme one day (also very interesting reading through your comments in reverse chronological order, the way patreon shows them to me!)

I'm finally caught up (!! it just took me like one year and a half...) on the chapters published in full that I am able to read without the Webtoon app (up to ch. 13), so I wanted to post a comment here before continuing merrily with all that is to come :D I have lots of Stuff to say: - aaaaaaaa!! honestly that's my first reaction, I know I'm super late but I'm so happy to see how this has all taken shape from the time you were showing us the character and the broad blurb of it, which was, YES, a LONG TIME AGO but that's what was in my mind before starting... and aaaaaa-- - it was so interesting to see how the original first few chapters were a bit changed in pacing compared to, like, the pilot, when I think Mira asked Tess almost directly about fake dating? Or maybe it was not in a fully-formed strip, but I remember not-remembering the cafe they walked into in ch. 2-3. - also the boob joke actually happening, and TWICE at that :') love it, it feels, well, real? - I was absolutely amazed at how all things that Tess did during the pre-beginning weekend (C&C, Quiest Ghosts and camera lenses) were ALL USED narratively afterwards, notably when Tess revealed that she was interested in photography instead of what Mira was trying to guess - I don't know, it's all effective character-building and, in some sense, foreshadowing, but still: it felt extremely satisfying to piece together. - the little face with dot eyes Tess has sometimes (and Mira, to a lesser extent). love it so much.

- the gay panic chapter was real. Loved every moment of AAAAA and of "good job Tess, words". - overall: I really like how Tess is organized, meticulous, armed with a precise number of questions, few social skills and some difficulty to talk about her actual hobbies, and with a lot of inner panic. I mean, it's typical office lady stuff in some ways, but it has neurodivergent vibes and, I don't know, I vibe with it? - overall 2: so many blushing + joyful-shining faces. It's both very precious and great reaction pic material :D - overall 3: the art is amazing. The two leads are very wow; and the backgrounds have that vibe that feels, to me, somewhere between Aerial Magic (with some elements of ethereal watercolor) and Always Human (some bright neon colors that pop here or there) - it's so beautiful and satisfying. - Mira in rock outfit <3 - AQUARIUM DATE!! That's really a staple of girls' love stories but it's such a good one <3 And that jellyfish panel! - When you commented about Mira removing Tess' glasses, I wasn't surprised: it *felt* like a meaningful moment, some kind of turning point. - the data that Mira presents which emphasizes how Gorgons are just hidden in the "other" category - it's a good subtle addition to everything that has been built up more directly. - the way you address how Gorgons' snakes are limbs reminds me on how we discussed, like, two years ago, about how Gorgon biology worked overall, and you had told us a little about that, and how magic was just a remnant in their world, and little tidbits of worldbuilding that slowly bubble up to the surface of my brain as I read, and it's very satisfying to see it all unfolding <3 - the lesbian meme in the first Q&A (and I think it's been posted as a single picture around here too? I should look for it again) is now my smartphone background, it gives me so much s e r o t o n i n. - Mira being like "I don't know what you're talking about :)" in the Q&A makes me brace for all that is to come...

- THE COMPLETELY SERIOUS RECAP!! i died of laughter for a while - I love how ch. 12 is a deeper analysis on feelings and fake dating and how to act or not on a crush - I feel like it really elevates the classic setup of fake dating into something that has potential for actual discussion: seeing the characters analyze the situation as (somewhat) actual people is super interesting and really adds something realistic to it. - similarly, I like how Mira briefly touches on how crushes are social expectations, notably on kids. (Part of me wonders if she's struggling with answering the crush question because she doesn't crush much on actual people and lies somewhere on the aro spectrum?) Aaaanyway, that were most of my main reactions while reading, I think? I should read the three chapters to come soon, now :D Tl;dr: aaaaaa i love it, thank you so much and congrats for the 18 chapters already, and, and, for all the sapphic joy. Thank you thank you thank you!!

;-; oh my thank you for the very long comment caterpillar!!! This was a delight to read, thank you :D Or maybe it was not in a fully-formed strip, but I remember not-remembering the cafe they walked into in ch. 2-3. <--- I don't remember with any certainty either, but I did do quite a few mini strips, to figure out how I wanted to use 3D models/backgrounds, so it would make sense if I did some test panels with that background? (Part of me wonders if she's struggling with answering the crush question because she doesn't crush much on actual people and lies somewhere on the aro spectrum?) <--- I am happy to respond to this (because I think it's a bit odd to treat orientation/sexuality as a spoiler) but if you'd rather experience the story with no commentary from me, feel free to stop reading :) Mira hasn't ever thought about this and isn't even familiar with the terminology, but what you said is very accurate, somewhere on the aro-spectrum. I don't have an exact label for her because she doesn't yet.

Aaaah, thank you for all your answers to all of my comments, I'm very moved! (I didn't know the term comment caterpillar but I love it) As it often is, your quickness to react is amazing :') Yeah, elements of the first chapters may have shone through 3D tests and a few early strips without being entirely connected in my mind? In any case it's so good to have now discovered it all unfolding! Thank you for your precisions on Mira's romantic orientation (in our world's terms) - it does click with some of the views she expressed on dating and crushing, and I'm curious whether future fake dating shenanigans will give us more insight on her opinion on romance and romantic feelings (but I'm pretty sure it will). This makes for some interesting rep and promising discussions with Tess in any case :D (Also, thanks for your care in commenting and leaving the possibility to back out from reading for anyone preferring a no-comment experience! It's not my case but the gesture is appreciated :)) All in all, I've said it again and again, but: thank you so much for what you're building. It feels honestly very precious, and as always it touches on a lot of interesting themes in very organic ways, and it's really... important? It really is <3
