Isaac Allwood

Theo Howe

Dragaroth

Bro tweaked the fuck out over being asked to not ruin the vibe once

NanoT

“I exist god damn it” goes hard!

Jackie Jude

holy fuck when I thought you were joking about adding selfcest (I will never underestimate you again)

Matt Hope

Is that technically masturbation

Anaqbesti

fatima doesnt even look that mad at val 😭 i wonder if they’ll stay friends if val didnt stick with her ultimatum

whotookquiche

I'm proud of Val. I understand where Fatima was coming from, but that was an unfair ask. She shouldn't have to make herself smaller to make others feel big. I do dread how their next interaction is going to go.

Im happy val didn't lose.. STICK WITH UR MORALS PEOPLE!!

tinko

this is kinda like daredevil's dad… is val gonna be shot in an alley by some hired goons!?

Redmage77

Hmm so the back room's Audrey, who has the same hair color as shen, is a back rooms copy of a character who is exploring their femininity while still overall identifying as a male and being comfortable with it because it's exactly what they want without worrying about outside input from others... Just noting.

Monkeydragonson

Valid crash out, I despise loosing intentionallu- also Audrey nooo dont do that xD

Greed

Where is Ep 10… I need it… I NEEEEEDD IIIIIT!!!!!

Shy or Tails

We exist Val... we exist... 🥲

Sean

This hit me so hard. I have made compromises and conceded on things I never should have. Never again.

Zatchel

Arrive for hetslop, stay for the selfcest

Zanna

I'm glad she didn't make herself small for the sake of male ego

Ozymandias08

That sequence of Val talking about concessions is really beautifully done. It summarizes that concept so well. Amazing work as always Shen

Soul of Cinder

Tbh, kudos to Val. Kept themselves intact and did it purely for themself

Deso's Prophet

I'm not gonna lie, the "keep it" panel has aura

raven_the_barista

Thank you so much for not letter her throw the competition

Giorgio Ardito

Did someone grate identical lemons, because it seems like we have some twin zest

NamelessWaltz

AUDREY MAKING OUT WITH HER BACKROOMS COUNTER MADE ME LAUGH TOO HARD

SyrPrize

You've bested me Shen. I, a stranger you'll never know, you'll pay for this (You won't)

Kalenne

Last panel is Fear and Hunger termina in a nutshell

Donut

That... that was quick to make with oneself out

MitchellTF

Shen you just keep making things better. Both with the backrooms and Val not doin( it

PinguinS09

Well i was right about my guess.. wonder where this will go next

ChillOwl0

I want this to be a forever slow burn romance series soo bad

Unapol R

she tweaked out over being asked to minimize herself so that men weren't bothered by her skills it wasn't "not ruining the vibe", it was "i don't want to sacrifice my integrity to soothe someone's butthurt ego"

WitchyVeev

you got me shen, this comic is peam. you now have my 3 dollars until the end of time (when i am poor and in need of 3 dollars)

Hella based

Adenilson Cavalcanti

Damn... I'm getting addicted to this. Please keep it coming! :-D

hirntod

Another tasty episode~

Dragaroth

And so that her friends family business doesn't potentially close but yea w/e

Pyo Heliobros

"you shouldn't touch that" - "We already made out" that's probably the funniest possible response XD

Lako

With Audrey everything will be fine

DATA_CORRUPTED

I understand where Fatima is coming from, but it was very unfair to make it Val's problem. Instead, she should've invested in making the space more friendly for women.

Steven Fletcher

The fact that the arcade is still there kinda proves Fatima’s point in a way… they were going bankrupt until Val left, now they’re still open two years later. I’m still Team Val because what a fucked up situation for her to be in, but I like how it’s not all black and white.

Akaoni

i really thought it said bathrooms at first and i didn't question it

BuckyTheBucky

thank you shen i will give you snacks now

JackDuckTho

ngl brother you make a damn good comic

PS2 Man

Yowch. I really understand where Val is coming from, but the victory was just not worth it imo. I hope Audrey can help balance Val out a little

Blundertoad

I caved and subbed to the patreon for this... I was not disappointed.

Sofia Rizzo

We don't know if Val really was the only problem or if now the arcade is doing better then before. Just because they think male pride is the reason people aren't coming back that doesn't make it true. It could simply be people lost interest in arcades

yui_riku

would have done the same tbh

Yourtime

audrey doesn't joking around, sees herself, uses the opportunity, understandable.

Faus Fausius

"you've conceded your entire existense!" felt like a in-the-zone breakthrough

PokeCat

Shen I've been following your comics for years and it keeps getting fed to me on various social media platforms (even when I dont follow you on that platform) as part of my algorithm and I can't resist it any longer. After many years, I will be throwing my money at you from now on. Love the series, keep it up! 🥰

Joe

I know I should be focused on the story but the expressions in the bonus comic are SO GOOD

Abioticgawd

Val losing just once doesn’t save the business. She would have kept being asked. Thats the whole point of the puzzle pieces, being continuously asked to lower yourself for someone’s else comfort. The best thing Val’s friend could have asked for is to help her train up the others or just build a better community of gamers that wouldn’t be fazed by someone as good as Val There’s always a final boss at someone’s local, that shouldn’t scare people from coming out and should inspire them to get better.

BurnedSugarr

aughhhhhhhhhhhhhh TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT val.... I feel so bad for her why do you do this shen

CoreyWW

So I actually really like how this event isn’t implied to be the thing that radicalized Val entirely. Like it’s definitely a piece of it, but it’s not the whole reason, it’s really good characterization

skysyzygy

Great writing, it’s deeply interesting to see Val’s way of thinking. Not gonna concede to make herself smaller because some guys can’t handle her, which we know eventually gets to “hates men.” It feels like a logical extreme of “I refuse to concede” and I can’t even blame her for it, yet it’s a close enough mindset to “I refuse to be someone I’m not,” which Audrey can relate to and will hopefully bring Val to as well. I’m so invested in her story

PrivateXimmy

Fatima isn’t mad. She’s disappointed. Her friend made her a promise and she broke it.

Pockets

I could see Val being a bit of a detriment to the fighting game crowd, but arcades tend to be far more than just fighting games. Or at least they were back in the day. Not that she should have to hold back to appease her opponents.

ari melody

bless you, audrey ❤️

Limi

The "I EXIST, GODDAMNIT!!" is such a powerful panel. Like yeah, if no one wants to even bother trying to challenge her just because she's good, that's on them.... not her 🙂‍↕️

princexbunny

GOOD FOR HER. It’s about sending a message.

Maku.

the issue is that Fatima didn't say "can you lose during the tournament for me?" she said "can you throw the finals for me?", doing the first request would've been more than enough if anything. Not to mention, the puzzle pieces were there to visually show that this was one of many things that she was asked to do to lower herself.

Jacqueline

I love this hetgem🔥🔥🔥

Ben Robinson

Best one yet. The puzzle piece visuals are great

Bingo Goat

y'know... it'd be legitimately funny if Audrey somehow was better than Val. or was at least on the same level to give her actual competition.

Squiggy

I wonder if Fatima even held it against val for winning the tourney.

bug

yaoified yuri?????

Fay Banks

It’s just… so… PEAK

Ow ow ow oh my heart

D'Artagnan Wayland

I'm curious now about how the making out looks like. And it can be hard to not hold on to the principle

Kristen Eldridge

Thank you for egging me on to join the patreon this is pretty great. Audrey is 100% valid for that tbh

Aerie

I've been thinking about this chapter a lot since it came out. I struggle a lot with disassociation working a shitty corprate retail job. Everyday having to surrender my identity to be a "good team member". I actually always joked to people the secret to this kind of job is that it's all just acting. Put on the face, say your line, always have a handful of jokes in your back pocket for all the common little blunders throughout the day to seem more personable. And just do that 8 hours a day for 40-60 years and then you get to die. Just commit to doing that and you get to be the smallest cog in a world wide machine that turns cacao beans in Africa into a mess stuffed between the seats of someone's car. Its not for anything and there is nothing to take pride in. This is all a pretentious way of saying I'm not sure the last time I demanded acknowledgement that I exist. This comic means a lot to me because it reminded me of that. might go blow up and oil pipeline

luca peluca

Man, I think this is my favourite TBFV comic. Val's internal dialogue and the way it portray is soo good

leahdustt

oh my... audrey is gay...

Oni
