A reluctant shopping trip for makeup and dorm supplies forces Taylor to invest in his feminine disguise as the line between performance and reality begins to blur.

Another long chapter, but I'm starting to think Taylor just can't help himself when it comes to overthinking every single moment of his life. Plus, Abigail is quickly becoming the chaos-loving best friend we all need... Hope you have as much fun reading as I did writing! 😊

That was absolutely exhilarating! Brilliant dialogue that leaps off the page and makes you smile and guffaw alternately, Abigail’s snappy rejoinders, Taylor’s hesitantly growing confidence, giving as good as he gets in the verbal stakes, and some wonderful set pieces. Only thing I need to know is who’s commissioning the sitcom and who have you pencilled in for the leads! Then there are the heartstopping moments like the lipstick and entropy interlude. And I haven’t even commented on the illustrations yet, all of which are superb. I don’t know if you’ve mentioned how long you intend this one to be, Emory, but it could, and should, and must, run and run. I’m loving it.

Love this chapter. showing Tay how they can find joy in the simplicity of life if they just let go of their fear and preconceptions. Adorable X

Samantha Louise

This chapter like all of them is amazing! I love Abigail and Taylor they make such a great combo. I hope when Abigail figures out Taylor, or gets closer, she is gentle with her. Hmm 🤔 the most logical conclusion if she ever sees Taylor’s full body is that Taylor is a trans girl who is still very much not comfortable with her body due to societal bs and earlier treatment. I love watching Abigail bring Taylor out of their shell. And the art was so good!!!!

Samantha Louise

Yeah the talk about their dad with the entropy, how their mom used to wear makeup before the father passed, that all hit hard.

Jade Diaz

I could honestly read another 300 pages of Abigail well akshully’ing Taylor and generally making her do stuff she hates which turn out to be incredibly good ideas.

Maggie Heels

Oh... Taylor has some serious social skill issues... just like me... but she's at least 🔥

Ryan

you are too hard on yourself, the best part is your inside

Ryan

if your profile picture is your picture then you're really too hot to handle

Emory, absolutely incredible! This may be the best episode yet and it revolved solely around a trip to Target! But the story, the dialog, the emotions, the art work, it is all Incredible and all work and support each other beautifully. And while I do believe it is the best episode yet, I suspect there are many more episodes ahead to which I will wind up saying the same thing. And of course I think you maxed out your nerd quotient between all the physics reference and star wars and star trek reference, even mix metaphored Top Gun and Star Wars. And I did not even catch all of them I am sure. And half of those I did I still have to look up to actually understand. Wayne and Garth should be kneeling before you chanting "we're not worthy"! 😉 Party on!!! 😂

Another great chapter. The prose and illustrations are among your best. I really enjoy the Abigail/Taylor dynamic. And I really hope mom sees the video of her child having fun. One correction, as a Midwestern, that I have to point out. Indiana does have beaches. It has shoreline along Lake Michigan along it's northwest corner, the Ohio River to its south, and numerous lakes and rivers in between.

Gemma

Great dialogue with such a depth of knowledge and information make up- everyone needs an Abigail to show them the way. Interesting introduction of the very cute Mayo in this episode and Will in the last. It keeps us all guessing which option Taylor will eventually pursue romantically? I do hope she opens up to Abigail who I believe would be very understanding and may help her/ him open up, chill out and embrace who she is becoming.

Spot on feedback

"because Indiana is, you know, landlocked." *Distant chanting of "Dunes! Dunes! Dunes!" rumbles across the horizon* God damn though Taylor is lucky. Soap? Seems the curse of his chest came with a counterweight for his skin

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you all so much for these comments! I love the story's dual nature. The whole thing really lives in that space between the funny, almost sitcom-like energy and those quiet emotional beats. That "entropy" scene was important to me. After losing his dad, Taylor basically built his entire personality as a defense mechanism. He retreats into the cold, hard logic of physics because it's a safe, predictable way to view a world that has proven to be anything but. The universe is just winding down, things fall apart, it's nobody's fault. It’s how he copes. Abigail, meanwhile, is the outside force, the observer, who comes in and collapses his sad, stable little waveform. She doesn't let him hide in his head. She forces him to actually live in the chaos and experience the world through his body, which is the one thing he's been trying to escape for years!

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Crystal! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. That shopping cart scene was so fun to write. Taylor's life up to this point has been governed by a very strict, self-imposed set of physical laws: be small, create no friction, attract no attention. It's his survival code. Meanwhile, Abigail is this wonderful, chaotic force who just doesn't operate by his rules. She's like a different kind of physics altogether. She offers him a world where his fear doesn't have to be the only thing that's real. 😊

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you so much, Samantha! I'm really glad you're enjoying their dynamic (me too!) and the art. Abigail is this force of pure, chaotic good. Not only is she pulling Taylor toward parties and makeup, she's also pulling him into the present moment, into his own life, which is something he's been actively avoiding for years. And yeah, Abigail might definitely interpret things that way if she saw Taylor's body. The ultimate irony for Taylor is that his 'disguise' might lead a compassionate person to a conclusion that is both completely understandable and entirely wrong. Oops! 😉

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Jade! Their dynamic is one of my favorite things to write. Abigail is a force of nature AND she’s a catalyst. Taylor has spent his whole adolescence treating his body like a problem to be solved or an enemy to be hidden. Abigail just completely refuses to accept that premise. She looks at Taylor and sees potential and power, not a pathology. She is forcing Taylor to stop being an observer in his own life and to actually live inside his skin. 😊

Emory Ahlberg

You're right, Maggie! She has very little social awareness... That might take Abigail even longer to teach her than makeup, lol

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Diana! This chapter was fun to write, and important for Taylor. It’s in these painfully normal, public spaces where the mask either sets or cracks. It’s where Taylor’s theoretical understanding of his situation crashes into the messy, practical application of it all. And Taylor is trying to map this scary new social universe with the only tools he has. Meanwhile, Abigail is the uncontrolled variable that keeps breaking his equations... which is what he needs! Also... a lot of my own early-transition terror is baked into those moments of hyper-awareness in the cosmetics aisle lol

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Wes! And you're right about the Indiana beaches, haha. I had to look it up on a map myself. A little sliver of that great lake! I think for Taylor, "beach" just means the ocean, a symbol of the sunny, easy world his sister Wendy lives in. His own world has been so small for so long (just Bloomington and the four walls of his high school) that his internal map is pretty limited. And that small-world view is why I love writing him with Abigail. She’s a force of nature just bulldozing his walls, demanding that he participate in his own life, which is something no one has ever done... except maybe his mom, but she can only do so much. Speaking of... that thought about his mom seeing the video is adorable. She’d be so happy to see him genuinely joyful...

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Gemma! Abigail operates on a totally different set of principles than Taylor. He’s all logic and empirical data, while she runs on pure intuition and social physics, a science he’s never been able to grasp. I definitely had friends who were my “Abigail” when I was first finding my way, people who just pulled me into the world without asking permission. It’s both terrifying and essential. Introducing Maya and Will was a way to explore what happens when Taylor goes from being an object of ridicule to an object of desire. It’s equally disorienting for him because he believes the attraction is directed at a construct, not him. I think about him coming out to Abigail all the time. She would be so supportive, but her brand of support would be to immediately try and find a label for him, and that's a box he is nowhere near ready for....

Emory Ahlberg

Hah! You absolutely got me on the Dunes. Although I can just picture Taylor being the kind of person who would argue that a freshwater lake doesn't technically count as "the beach," probably with some deeply nerdy explanation about salinity. 😉 And yeah! He just washes his face with bar soap! It’s another piece of male obliviousness he’s carried with him.... and he has no idea how lucky he might be!

Samantha Louise

Whoopsies indeed. Also just realized in my comment I used her, meant to use them till they actualize more/acknowledge their identity, I used her without thinking/instinctually. lol

Crewchick

Emory, I am not sure I completely agree with "Taylor has spent his whole adolescence treating his body like a problem to be solved or an enemy to be hidden. Abigail just completely refuses to accept that premise." In part because Abigail has not been introduced to that premise. She has still not been let in behind Taylor's wall and mask yet, at least not fully. She is basing her actions on the presented premise that Taylor is an extremely smart but very shy and awkward girl. I think her actions and responses would differ somewhat if she knew Taylor's full story and identity. As you mentioned in another reply "She would be so supportive, but her brand of support would be to immediately try and find a label for him, and that's a box he is nowhere near ready for...." I agree she would be supportive and non-judgemental, but I don't know if she would push Taylor in quite the same ways. I think part of her recklessness is that she thinks she is simply helping a shy girl meet her full potential. I think if she knew Taylor has a secret that could have serious consequences if discovered she probably would not be pushing Taylor as much as he has been. I think she might still give the tree frog and make-up advice. Hiding by trying to appear not to be hiding. But I think some of the social situations might have gone a little differently had she known, if only because the knowledge allowed her then to put her own labels on Taylor. Again not in a bad way, we all do that to some degree when meeting people. And also because Taylor's true situation is something utterly new and unfamiliar for her as well. I think it might slightly reduce but not remove her impulse to move fast and break things. She is a force of nature, but she is also a smart (she is at MIT!), thoughtful and caring girl. She may want to push Taylor's boundaries and comfort zones, but she does not want to put him at any actual risk of serious consequences. And they are both only 18 and don't really know how the school would respond and are likely to both assume the worst. Of course now that Abigail is starting to see this side of Taylor she is helping free from anxiety and fear, it will be hard for her to unsee it or not incorporate it into whatever future perception she develops about Taylor as they get to know each other and share more. I don't think there is much chance of her letting Taylor go back to hoodies and baggy jeans.

OMG!! next chapter today!🤩 Can't wait any longer🥵

Crewchick

And here I thought Taylor was just an "Ivory Soap Girl"! 😂 😉 Gosh I am dating myself with that one. 🧓

stacy C

Another great chapter.....but I now have an urge to buy twinkle fairy lights hehe x

Crewchick

Emory, since you have told us you went to college in Boston, is it possible this shopping cart adventure may have taken place IRL in some other time on another Boston college campus??? Maybe MassArt??? 🤔 😉
