Toby

He's a mermaid

Vances

So cute

Yaaasssexual

Yes, silly, sleek, awkward on land but graceful in water. I see it.

Xennded

OOOOOH, I think the title finally makes sense to me

Grace (she/her)

Hi Shen this series is cool ty for your time

PaddyBA

I'm so in love with the fourth-to-last panel holy shit

Josh

Sorry Shen, but it's breathe

Muffin

"not defined by hurt" actually made me tear up, y'all I think I might be defined by hurt...

Théo L'abbate Photographie

I feel like more people need to read the Boy from Venus. Also I can't believe Shen is making us go though all this wonderful comic before his upcoming coming out as fem leaning non binary <3

BakedCatDad

Audrey of the pool what is your wisdom?

Moss

I wonder if I can reverse image search and find that swimsuit for...a friend 👀

Patchrabbit

This is the exact outfit I pictured Audrey would wear, right down to the color, so cute!

True

"Not defined by hurt" is so beautiful I'm in tears

Tanis Nikana

Yo, you may not want to prescribe gender on people. Let Shen work through stuff in therapy, yeah?

Walker

Audrey's an otter which means he's gonna drag Val into the pool and drown her

Chloe Yourston

Genuinely teared up at this, as a trans woman who tries not to let my pain define me it hit surprisingly close the home ❤️

Content

I looove these comics and also wow audrey🫪

fuchizut

AWWWWE this is the best episode so far <3

Mason Sextro

A clumsy but gentle water creature, he really just like me frfr 😩 😭

Wild Dork

Can we talk about how breathtaking the art is for this update??? Like dang

Alice in Wordsland

Same here! I was using Instagram on the web browser to see these but decided this was much better

KershawsGoat

If Val doesn't get a similar moment that leaves Audrey speechless with sparkly eyes, I'm gonna riot

Théo L'abbate Photographie

Yeah I'm saying it for funsies, I don’t mean to hurt anyone and Shen is, of course, free to identify in whatever way, and be open about it or not. But though the comic has been a lot of fun, this chapter seems a lot more soft, and may touch some people personally.

Cryer

This series is so good man... I love my gamer n my otter

WineGodTG

I agree with the analysis

Tiny Tauren

Feeling called out right now. Time to make some changes.

Ren

she said it so beautifully 😭😭😭

Jojo_avena

Really good water rendering

MAD

This made my sob uncontrollablly for a while.... Very unexpected to feel this way or so strongly.. wow... Thank you

Rimbo (he-him)

So she decided that Audrey was an otter animal than a dog?

EthanBlue

Audrey I need to introduce you to Onion San

kurona7

Mmmm nice art here. The atmosphere. Fantastic.

Tinsin

Yay! He gets to swim 🥹

Vexo

JFC the way my heart just exploded and now I’m crying ❤️❤️❤️

Twisted Pine

I've only had Otter Audrey for 15 minutes but if anything ever happens to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself

Flynx

Otter human confirmed.

Vexo

I will riot with you if I can figure out how to stop my eyes from watering

Cozmo

Not sure how to say this but like,,, feeling #blessed today. Thank u shen

Charlie & Taryn

Shit man you got me jumpin to check every patreon notification hoping its you 😭

BakaNinNin

I needed this, I'm emotional

Nat

Reminds me of reze

Limi

Duuuuuude the Audrey swimming panels are just... 😩👌 The lighting, the shading, the colors .... absolutely stunnin'

Squiggy

“Not defined by it” is perfectly poignant. What inspired the story Shen?

bug

aahhh!!! audrey's bathing suit is so cute!!!! this was a beautiful episode<33 otter fits audrey so well!!!! hashtag otterey hehe

Squiggy

I like the reflected colours of the character selection menu in vals glasses.

James Chmiel

Papa I need one BILLION more panels NOW

anneteka

i think we share a braincell because that was my reason to subscribe to patreon as well

Sam Burns

Goddammit just kiss already woof

Chim

Yeeess I also deleted all my socials but decided to join patreon and subscribe to my fav artists 💚

moon jellyfish

ohhhh i just know that swiping through the panel of audrey in the water will be soooooo satisfying

moon jellyfish

and obviously the last panel is gorgeous but THE WATER RUNNING OFF AUDREY’S FACE IS TOO

skysyzygy

Awwwwww I love that you let the final panel breathe for a sec, it’s really beautiful

Nyx_Nebulas

I, too am clumsy on land but graceful in sea

Pudgy Pigeon

me too twin but it’s okay. there’s time for change

Jarten

In the bonus panel, you can see the reflection of the thought bubbles in Val's glasses. Super neat touch :3

Shy or Tails

Thank you for this, this healed something in me

Onyxia Rivera

i was waiting for a panel to be my next wallpaper, and this is finally it. i'm queer and trans, and i'm proud of it. i experience transphobia and homophobia but i don't let it define me. thank you shen.

cc_drawsthings

This is definitely my favorite chapter so far, I can't wait to learn more about Audrey. Maybe Val seeing Audrey like this will also help her be more positive.

Zorro Esperanzado

This made me feel like some of the old XKCD comics. I just had to sit and absorb the poignancy for a moment after the last panel.

Claire Annette

This is so funny to me as someone who used to think of my boyfriend as having "dog boy energy" before realizing he, too, is a water creature. I always send him pictures/memes of otters, seals, and other water mammals with the caption "you".

Xennded

Profile Pic checks out lol

clevererer

I adore them, thank you shen

RobinOTP

OTTER AUDREY

Scorrel

No visible Mermaid tail, but if he don't act like he should have one!

Kaede159

i fucking love this comic so much

Mr_SpoderMan

you should definitely try to play more with the panels I feel like audrey swimming could have been so cool. eitherway, nice chapter as always

Gadhrach

"Not defined by hurt" is so powerful, thank you.

Mayari

Amazing update to soothe my soul. ♥️

Liopedia

I wonder if my (fem)boyfriend would look as cute in that bathing suit 😍🤔

Billy

Gay slang would say dolphin because of the lack of body hair. Not that Val would know that.

Al Smilo

This is healing after a stressful day at work

Escher

Audrey is moisturized, in his lane, and thriving.

AxelHasNoIdea

i wanna make a reze arc reference but it doesn't even really apply lol

Anthony Keydel

"not defined by hurt" is probably the biggest takeaway that I've never seen from any other media. ty Shen

rhapsodyxvi

that last panel immediately became my phone wallpaper ❤️

Not Alexxis

The duck kinda looks like Val

tyreekus

I cant wait to see the full image of said thing

Maddie

This is so sweet, I'm crying

Shen got me, I caved for the patreon and I have no regrets.

omega_heiki

Golden retrievers also really love to swim though

Chelsea Isgar

I was thinking more axolotl but otter works too ❤️ this was so sweet

I am now in the unregret zone

SPLASH FREE 🏊‍♀️🌊🩳

Michail Malostanidis

To be fair I thought he wears a mermaid tail. But it's just a two-piece.

LABARATI

they better become a couple by the end of this shen

Niko

ouu shi👀👀

MitchellTF

Whose a good otter yes you are yes you are

egoistic

PLEASE don't make audrey a repper that's so regretpilled

tabris

What does it mean? English is not my first language and I honestly cannot figure it out :c

toxicglitch

Audrey was bullied growing up, but he's not letting that stop him from being himself :)

Mago

Did you know they have webbed toes and a second coat of fur that is water proof? They're practically made for water.

BobaTeaDemon

It means they don’t let the bad things that have happened to them take control of their life.

Serene

Seeing Audrey's swim suit is what got me subbed

Serene

Yea, I'm still very early in my transition but I'm learning so much about the hurt I've had

Lekon

Boy did I join at the right time. Hell yeah, Otters!

shencomix

Thank you! 🙏 I worked hard on it

Zagmut

I think Val is saying that Audrey doesn't let life's negative experiences dictate how he live's his life or how he chooses to view his world, that he lives seeking out happiness rather than hiding from misery like Val does.

MrPeluca

Im so glad this was the episode that pushed me for a sub. Also, such a moid move from my part.

Charles Crotty

I finally caved in, your webtoons ad reads finally got me

seeforkat

why she still has her socks on 😭😭

Feragon42

Oooh Reze all over again

Bingo Goat

Shen, i'm joining the others is asking very politely, can we please be gifted with the combined image of those three panels of Audrey swimming?~~

Lauren

“I was a merman, Dad! A merMAN!”

Bingo Goat

...for myself, so i can redraw him as an otter? thank you

Andrew Frisina

This is incredibly sweet. Audrey is so relatable.

Malcolm Maes-McCrimmon

Her preconceptions have been... 😎 OTTER-ly blown away (YYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH)

Malcolm Maes-McCrimmon

I love the silly stories and the one-offs but I agree, this series is soooooo good

Hal 🔆

i have big feelings on this one. i love what you're doing here :) thanks for this

Victoria Garrison

This is so sweet and I can't wait for the next one!!!!!!

That One Rando

Their trauma does not influence the way they behave —— When someone is defined by something it is something that affects who they are as a person - their personality and actions Hurt here means emotional pain. To be defined by hurt would be like someone who doesn’t go outside because they’re afraid of being hurt again

shencomix

yes! i would post it in this reply, but it seems like you can't upload images on replies... I have to figure out a way to do it

Monkeydragonson

Audrey is an otter, now go hold his hand before he floats away val

Anonymous

Hi, Shen! I just wanted to say that as a femboy myself, you creating the bumpers that you did and the thought bubble text you used is a lot more validating than you may realize (that is if no one else has spoke on this already.) Showing the funny “record update” from a golden retriever to an otter hit pretty hard because it pushed me to finally commenting on your work because: 1) my name is Adrian, and that kinda scared me when I first started reading [and/or stalking] your artwork lmao, and 2) I’ve only be open and comfortable with my level of understood and lived femininity for a few months now. And to see that “golden retriever” energy was “updated”/removed was really cool for not us femboys out there, but also to all of us on the spectrum, as well. Being told you have energy like a golden retriever/dog (*disclaimer* in my following interpretation) i.e. “lovable idiot” energy can feel degrading. Anyways! Maybe I’m reading too deep into your work, but regardless….what I took from it has me sayin good shii on how you handled that section🤙🏾

lilbreh

❤️🙏🏼

Bingo Goat

well! either as a locked (or public, your choice~) post, used as a patreon teaser, or posted in the patreon chat =3

OutbackCatgirl

consider: platypus. loveable goofball that happens to also have a venomous sting hidden away for assholes like the cocky loser from the arcade :>

River Babbles

DAWWW Audrey the otter! I like that even though he wears more feminine outfits, they still come across as modest (like his suit being more of a tankini than a bikini). Frankly I wouldn't mind if more guys wore something up top while swimming, I do not wanna see anybody's nipples

Xochitl

😭😭😭😭

Xochitl

same here 🫶🏽💗💗💗!! i've been on hrt for 6 years, and legally female for 3 years...Audrey not being defined by pain hits close to home for me cause I'm getting closer and closer to not letting my traumas define me

PG

A dollar... a month... well spent... This was beautiful and I want the full swimming art

Dan

You are a fine artist and I am absolutely hooked by this story. My heart is aching for these characters. In a good way. Mostly. Please don't stop.

hirntod

Beautiful episode~

Nipang

Beautiful. As someone who is a lifelong swimmer and who is walking (or, should I say, “swimming”) through my own gender journey, thank you for this. It fills my soul with hope.

Chlïken

I absolutely adore this comic, i only recently found it and ran to the patreon, seeing female presenting men like this in comics is really self assuring and can help with my own acceptance and i really appreciate all the art as well its amazing THANK YOU SHEN

i_draw_sp

I succumbed to peer pressure and was met with a beautiful deep lesson and also a funny bonus, fantastic 👏

EggShell

I folded, this was the only that I got the pateron for😔

Charles Manary

The implication that a golden retriever isnt a water-based creature is false. shame on you, shen

Alicia Birge

The water and lighting are really well done! Great job! 👏👏👏👏

HNK

This series is amazing so far, do you have any plans for any other series? Did you plan this one or wrote it as you went? I know some people like to come up with stuff as they go but it takes incredible memory not to create plot holes. For the record I did read your other series with the guy who had 3 copies of himself and I did feel the change in writing when you left.

Aethel the Unwise

Well, I subscribed, and it was totally worth it. Won't repeat what everyone else has said, but one detail I noticed in panel 7 was Val's little smile. She's pleasantly bemused by Audrey.

Gabriela

id love to have it too!!

Tanefix

he's an axolotl !!!!!!! :D

Blundertoad

The not defined by hurt page genuinely made me tear up a bit. I'm so mad that this goofy comic with the premise of femcel x femboy has actually been a story about acceptance, healing and growth and confidence in one's self. Well played Shen... Well played...

Valkhiya

As someone named val who is also an otter, I feel very represented by this comic.

ari melody

shen you're killing me in the best way possible here

Kitty

Ugh that last panel is so completely gorgeous! The lighting and the colours my eyes have been blessed🥹

Sammy

Otterdy!!

Claire Puppylove

It was the devilish outfit shen that got me convinced, but getting this post ahead of time that got me to actually go dig up a cursed amulet from the hands of the undead and pawn it off to a pencil thin mustached salesman who likes to chuckle while ominously rubbing his hands to pay for these comics but it was worth it!

Eleanor

Worth every penny. Wish I was as confident as him <3

ari

paying money just so I can see what swimsuit this boy be wearing. I had to know lmao. the frills make sense on account of he's a merboy

ChillinAtDaPark

You got me to finally join. Lovely story so far, very excited to see where it goes ❤️

Finch-Velutina

joined this patreon at the perfect time episode 13 is so beautiful... Also val mentally updating audrey's fursona is worth $1 all by itself ily otterey 🦦💙

Cay

😭😭😭 mermaid Audrey... I love this series so much. "Not defined by hurt." Goes so hard. Also, AUDREY PRETTY AAAAAH! is Val realizing that her type is femboys, or is this a comic about Friendship Only...? I wonder

EmieBunny

That’s actually really beautiful here’s your dollar

SageKER

Is that sandles and socks val?

Kim Joyce

Audrey is basically the definition of "you are not your trauma"

Hal 🔆

Barnacle boy????

Gibdos_Rupees

I love the paint-like reflections on the pool :3

xooplord

genuinely just bought the annual pass just for this comic. love u shen

Felix F

It's been really nice to actually find a comic with a femboy that's not overtly sexual 😭

Nova Deluxe

I feel so lucky to be able to read this as its coming out <333 (insert audrey thanking the lord image here)

Aaronies

Genuinely hit me so hard, gently beautiful

VirtuallyChar

I picked a good time to give up my dollar. This is beautifully done 🙏

seagulmanizaxc

your last panels begging for a subscription worked.... i wont regret it at my dying bed

Confused_requiem52

The color mixing on the water is so beautiful! It looks exactly like a summer night swim

Aspen Martin

Does Audrey have cholecystectomy scars?! If so, he’s just like me for real lol

Matt

THIS IS SOOOO CUTE, SUBBING TO THE PATREON WAS SO WORTH IT BRO CHEERS

D'Artagnan Wayland

Not defined by hurt is an incredible way to be, he really is amazing for that

snail

noOOOO I CAUGHT UP

Asadox0405

I love this comic so muuch, i've been watching it for a while and it makes me feel so happy. I can't explain it but it makes feels good about myself😭😭

Spooki

I NEED MORE (btw beutiful comic as always)

clevererer

I just noticed the glasses reflect the imaginary screen to update audrey from golden retriever to otter

E

Fine, Shen, you win. Here’s your dollar. I shan’t die with regret. Now let me hunch over in the corner and devour your works.

Jelly

Ugh they are so cute i hope they end up together

Jem Milton

Staaaahp not the frilly swimsuit! Audrey is so adorable

Annie Mok

Perfect night for me to have subscribed 😭 this strip (no pun intended ... haha) is very meaningful to me as a trans woman with complex-PTSD

FaithTheDuck

Buying the patreon was so worth it

tabris

Thanks to everyone for the explanation!

Jacob Mince

With a usual screen name of OtterJae, I approve Audrey 100%

PleasantP413

Some of the panels you've been doing are so cool and artistic, yet they fit perfectly in this comic. I really love the style and the way you implemented it here, you're very talented!

Audderpop

As an Audrey who goes by Audder online, this is gonna be devastating

Kaivara

Hetgem 🥹❤️

Apocalyxo

I love the image of Otter Audrey (though he does remind me of an axolotl but the puppy eyes fit better on otters). I think it also fits really well because of the fluidity of gender expression one can have, and that makes Audrey as an aquatic lifeform that "undefined by hurt" so much better. Water always finds its way around obstacles through cracks and trails around. Loving the comic, Shen, its getting more beautiful chapter by chapter 🫶

Empirykal

I finally gave in and subbed, I don't regret it at all this is peak

shencomix

i do have plans for other series! and this series is planned in the sense of there being plot beats i want to hit, but the specific paths between those plot points can be in flux. for example, the whole arcade scene was originally going to be a scene where val and audrey play an online game together, but i felt that an arcade scene would be more fun

shencomix

it's hard to say! but i find it natural to write these two because they're both kinda parts of me. thank you for the compliment! :]

Alice Reid

you said you were proud of this one so I had to sign up to see it early, and you were right to be proud!

Sylvia

I've been out as a trans woman for almost five years and I hate that this comic has taught me something about how to navigate gender non-conformity that I hadn't yet been able to embrace myself (I love it)

Gideon the Last

This made me cry. Real talk, your comics about femininity are the closest I've ever seen anyone capture gender the way I experienced it as a transmasc non-binary person. The complex weirdnesses of being a girl that's uncomfortable with herself but also like... Being a boy wouldn't have fixed it, y'know? I've been Val, like, visually and I've felt like nothing would ever make me like how I looked or myself in general. I am always among for not being defined by hurt. I have no idea if this makes sense. Anyway this strip was lovely and amazing and I'm glad I finally found my way over to your patreon.

JensF

Love the duck with glasses 🤓🤩🥰

Flynx

I am definitely Audrey-adjacent, except I'm fat, brown, have a beard, and suck at rhythm games.

SausageSalad

This is really such a sweet series. I adore the colours of the last panel with the sky, stars and water's reflection.

Dd

I want you to know I'm subscribing just because of the last frame with the moon.

sonsan

i love the triple splash panel of audrey swimming. such a joy to see you doing this long form series shen

Simon Clifford

My jaw dropped at that last panel. Stunningly beautiful

Abel Venn

shen i’ve been legitimately happy crying over this for like 4 hours i want the last panel tattooed on me and im not even joking. im going through a really, REALLY hard time right now and this is helping me so much. thank you

R. K.

This is the exact chapter, where I buckled. I'm part of the PATREON gang now. 🙂👍

Reddy

Thank you.

Purple

Please im beginning you with my soul in hand and a trade in another! Make the last panel of Audrey a wall paper and my soul is yours!!!

Rose Meddowes

Trans girl here! Know I now Audrey isn’t trans but I can’t lie it really hit home. Thank you Shen this is wonderful.

Citrus Carnival

GggrhrggggagahhAAAAA!!!! (imagine I grip the bathroom sink and stare into the mirror) You will NOT be moved. You are a femcel chud for LIFE. This was written by a MOID it is MOID PROPAGANDA! YOU WILL BE DEFINED BY HURT AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!!! (cool scary metal music plays) YOU WILL NOT BE MOVED BY WHIMSICAL SHAPES AND COLORS AND LIKEABLE CHARACTERS AND GOOD STORYTELLING!!! (imagine i look super serious and cool)

Tsuki1053

Same here, I limit Instagram to one hour

Lostin_Lalin

This hits different from the context of the implications and possibilities made by the latest ep

Adam Parkes

I could hear the 90’s era mouse click when it updated

Sayori Biggest Fan

Absolute cinema this one, was the one that got me the closest to the $1 before the most recent one

shub dub

The second the color pallate went blue my brain exploded and all I could hear was 'in the pool' 😔

Darknyss

The end of this episode was the one that got me hooked on this comic. It was like I saw the Matrix code for just a split second. <3 "Not defined by hurt", the panel that launched a thousand meta theories. Beautiful. :')
