Jumped up when I saw the notif. My show is on

Roman

I felt that way too much

AxelHasNoIdea

did you kiss the brick at least before you threw it

Alberto

Nothing like that last second panic cleaning

LJ

did she even call about the black mold 😭

Floob124

Am I crazy or have I seen the first part of this before

Caoimhe Baldwin

I think that's the fastest I've clicked on a notification

Byro Damus

GET FUKKIN TO IT BUCKO <3

Kalenne

I didn't know I needed to see Audrey Samus but now I do and I am happy

Ryan Infante

I click on these faster than my paycheck notifications

Em

That hit a little closer to home than I expected. Val deserves love 💕

meow meow

vaporizing eye beam

TheGoonedOne

She plays league of legends, no wonder she’s so miserable all the time

Max Rollins

Looks like doing all those scary ass Halloween posts paid off. Those eyes were very creepy

Aaronies

Omg shen you can't keep doing this to me "I'm not ready for someone to look at me with anything but disgust, Audrey" 🥲🥲🥲

Alice in Wordsland

Poor Val nooooo you deserve to be looked at with love 😭😭😭😭😭

Athena Aran

How DARE you pair your amazing story with my favorite fictional character! How DARE you make such peak content 😡❤️‍🔥

Kommi

Oh my god that bump is amazing... And the comic is just incredible. I think Audrey is gonna help Val clean up and give her headpats. <3

Miss Venom

That hits, for a long time I was in a similar situation where I compartmentalized and focused solely on existing. The crisis caused by someone or something (or in my case a personal revelation) suddenly catalyzing change is scary.

Riley Burns

Audrey and Val cleaning episode next 👀

Lizardizzle

Tooooo reaaaalllll. Fantastic work.

None of Your Business

NEXT EPISODE: BUDDY CLEANING MONTAGE!!! The way she’s struggling is genuinely so relatable. The way self hatred eats at you… and how it makes you reflexively push away kindness. God I hate how hard I relate to this. But we know that Audrey has his own worries… and I’m sure he’ll share them when they come over next time.

Stephen

You can't keep getting away with this man

sigaldria

I don’t think Audrey is going to judge Val or see her with disgust 🥺 Audrey will help her 🥺💖

Kuma-Sincero

There's still time Val. Burn your place and rent a new apartment. It's quicker

radish

I’M SO EARLY

CharlieDVan

Damn this just got really relatable

Soleil Faure

Damn, I didn't expect a mirror aimed at me when I got the notification 🫥 oof

Phylogen

In a mirror, even!

Solly

Goodness, I connect with Val's thoughts here on a deeply intimate level. Thanks for writing this, Shen; I've loved this story so far, but this update truly elevated it to something very special for me.

larkspur

Val needs to listen to Practically Imperfect by The Narcissist Cookbook

TheRadBear

Why did you have to do this man I wanted a happy one

Content

Time zones😔

Bradford Baumstark

Omg Val is a snail cuz Audrey finds her effervescent

Maeve McMahon

I had a dream last night that you updated and Val and Audrey were just blissed out skipping in different locations. You’re in my dreams, Shen

Sunny Day

Shen you're breaking my heart but I really want Val to be able to learn from Audrey how to love herself

Leah Elena

Crying into my 9pm coffee thanks a lot shen

Bingo Goat

in the next eiposde, in cometh the Gentle Hand of Helping. Let's see how Val reacts

Bennett

I thought the black mold was a lie lowkey

IdriveaTARDIS

I came at the speed of straight yuri

HuntersFest

This is terrifyingly eye-opening, i can’t properly verbalize my thoughts exactly but i deeply love this specific chapter, i’m excited to see this arc through!

awe

;-;

X-TASI

Audrey and Val cleaning montage inbound. We might even see a HUG

moon jellyfish

hey i’m not ready to cry at work shen

Orlando Bernal

Hey if you could stop doing Val so relatable, that’d be great, thanks.

Vexo

OOOF yep yep yep feel this

Ren

he's pushing her to do better for herself 🥹

can we get rem to read a LN since he cant read

Finding someone who can make you self reflect is both amazing and shameful. It gets you to do things you need to get done/ been putting off but you then realize "shit..."

moon jellyfish

did you ever consider that!!!!! did you ever consider I’M not ready for this comic to shatter me like glass!!!!!!!!!!!

JM

I dont answer my texts as fast as I click on this email

Cyno

oh that's what you meant by this huh. a rock. you found a rock. I bet there was a bug under it, huh??! oh when I get to youuuu arrggghh

Ivy

okay, fuck rude TT~TT

Nex

Oh fudge, time for a speed clean!

Rylee

she's so me (even more)

Christo Andrade

I thought she lied about that just so she could avoid saying her room was extremely dirty

Sr Pinwino

Callense, pusieron mi telenovela

Fre D

why is this so good

Jesse

I love Zero Suit Audrey and Gritty Cockney Metroid.

Muffin

Utter Annihilation hit me square in the cptsd

They put me in a room.

sinclairrr

You're right. We were having too much fun with the last few chapters. That's on us.

Greed

If I give another dollar can I get the next one now please…?

skysyzygy

Shen your backgrounds are going crazy this season, I love the snail parts!

Reshek

Canto 10 Reference, don't let Val Distort

Charlie & Taryn

I wanna believe that she DID lie, and after Audrey helps her clean, they actually WILL find black mold

Mason Sextro

As someone who haven't been able to give themselves a good look in the mirror in years, this hit me like a bus 🙃 Val deserves an Audrey

Samlyn

Quit making me emotional over these little goobers!

PakuPunk

Booted up a game on the RIFT I SEE, the ultimate time waster 😭

Serene

Mood.

Jean

Would you still like me if I was a small, squirming, unaccustomed to light bug who lives under a shiny rock ?

Iunius

Absolutely devastating Shen

Shimmy Sham Shim Shem

Shem is watching, he doesn't look at the bugs under the rocks, he just chomps and chews till the mushy is gone

Madoka Vaughn

THAT FELT TO CLOSE TO HOME OH NO

Terra Greer

Absolutely gorgeous! It's so so nice to see Val's perspective, and to have her feelings expressed of having the beautiful but also painful light of being seen with something other than disgust. It's also nice to see that, even in the midst of her finding it painful, it's also inspiring her to grow and improve. It's inspiring her to love herself in a way that she simply hasn't for such a long time.

João Santos

That chapter was Pailful and Cruel, but Beatiful

GameGrime

I find this too relatable. Playing league up until it's way to late to start cleaning. And of course it's league.....

Targenio

Why is the metroid australian?

J Baker

A rubber room.

Sirius Face

Nooooo you can't go from ear-terrorism to a precision strike on my feeeeeels!

Xanny

oh val my love, you deserve the love 🥺🥺🥺

Gadhrach

Hey Shen idk how you're seeing into my life, but please keep it up if it means we get these banger comics.

Limi

Shennnnnnn whyyyyyy..... that hit way too close to home, Funny Man

EliVexel

Okay I’ll clean my room

Dr. Jazz

These eyes remind me of those October spooky Shen transformations you used to do. And the general horror kick you were on a couple years back. Loved that shit! Gonna go have myself a little reread for spooky month next week to cleanse my palette from all this BRAIN MELTING SELF-LOVE CRAP that definitely DOESN'T STRIKE ALL THE CHORDS 🙅

Maria V

Beautiful comic today. Thank you Shen

Yaaasssexual

Oh this is giving me feelings...

Danielle Regan

Good lord I love every release of this comic more and more. Audrey and Val are both incredibly relatable in their own ways. Also, the samus designs are SO PEAK

ViCodeName

Oh..now i understand the rock..damn

moonsugar

1000cc's of the next episode straight into my veins, stat!!

Papa Smurf

Oh my god, those first panels... Val, I know your pain. Growing up with visible neurological disabilities, I was always immediately clocked as the "weird" kid, before I ever got a chance to even speak to anyone. Man this one speaks to me. Really loving this series Shen! 🥰 So glad I joined the patreon.

PrivateXimmy

As someone in a mentorship program rn for my masters? I feel this. Being a novice, behind the curve, you begin to overanalyze your faults and flaws. It’s tough!

Toby

Me to be honest

GoodTransGirl

I'm trained like a good pet by now to come running when a new chapter drops.😭

Moss Oliver

There are two wolves inside of me. One that wants them to be a couple, and one that just wants them to be great friends

Sam Lowe

Love all of these so much, the Val-Samus reminded me of "Velgress" from UFO50!

Tomomi

hey, Shen? why are you reading me like a damn book and making me face my own feelings? was this your plan all along?

Paul Steinway

The Boy From Venus is what got me to finally join the Patreon.

Kyriey

i wasn’t expecting the “ITS WORSE” LMAO

fractalface

Give up. Burn your house down.

Sam Burns

I wasn’t ready for these intense emotions. Shen, you had no reason to make this comic this good but I’m here for it.

Bika3l

Can we talk about how fantastic the snail shell panel is? It has a serenity to it

The Goldfish King

Is it weird to be both and feel both at the same time? Also Audry DONT TAKE THE SHOT! ITS JUST A BABY!

Meike Lenhof

Everybody shut up! My show is on!

Hamster

Hey her room looks a lot cleaner! She's definitely put in effort.

QueerNCutie

oh boy time for another update for my favorite cozy comic and I'm emotionally devastated in tears

Hamster

I also really like the perspective on that image

Sophie B

This really speaks to me. I was in the same rut and having someone actually see me like that changed things.

Willow Salix

How is her place WORSE than episode 15?! Oh Audry had his work cut out for him. Golden retriever style "I can fix her"

bug

i was not expecting to read something so heart wrenching and relatable today

Faus Fausius

last minute clean-up after losing a game? lmaoooooo

Srcsqwrn

This series continues to make me feel like a people. c:

J Kr

right in the feelers deep in my soul. Love the detail about the unopened mail, oh Val </3

Escher

There's never enough time

Klo Van

Why are all of Shens comics so peak

Beatrice Blackhall

There's SO MUCH potential for this series, digging more into Val's trauma, finally getting into Audrey's, the two of them healing each other, more NERD MONTAGES AND CUTE DATES! If I'm still reading Boy From Venus 382 a few years from now I will continue to support Shen the whole time.

Duncan Richardson

I can’t wait for Val to discover what this dynamic will reveal!! It’s going to be so much better than the expectations of her projections. 🌈

Al Smilo

The league of legends defeat screen is just the French kiss of putting off an important, overwhelming task.

Nyx_Nebulas

***OUR Show. Had to make some adjustments

Téa

Ok but why are the Metroids British tho

alex

well i WAS excited for the new chapter until i shot in the head point blank 💔

SueThecat

Hey so i wasn't trying to sob like a baby on my dinner, yet here i am

Bell

Me on my train reading this

BrushÆ564

Did you hit us with that rock you found or smth 💔?

Militant0204

Boy oh boy! Another installation of my favorite comic! I sure do hope its wholesome and fun!

BrushÆ564

A rubber room with rats

Nic DeHoyos

The cockney metroid ♥️

AW ST

I teared up a bit.

Tulio Miranda

Shen, man, what a BEAUTIFUL narrative style... That was amazing...

Moose

Aint no way I finally cracked and subbed to the patreon just to be hit right in the freaking feels D: 10/10 experience

SlimeBinary

..Val you’re gonna need more trash bags than that. We all believe in you!

Frick

I bet Audrey’s room is a fucking mess lol

Rosenblum

That 3rd pannel is embodying so well the feeling Val is decribing, it's insanely good

Nova Deluxe

the way the eyes are drawn in the 3rd pannel is soooo goood

Ryan Martinez

Things that have hit me in the feels so hard that I feel it in my soul.... Ted lasso, the scene from Futurama where Seymour waits for Fry, this comic series... End of list

Damsel michelle

The defeat screen next to the time showing its almost 7 is a chefs kiss detail

Cyrsse

Val, don't be so harsh on urself and let Audrey get closer to u 🥺

Joshua Cubbin

Lol I was not ready for cockney Metroid

cc_drawsthings

The art in this chapter is especially beautiful, get some sleep Shen 😭🙏🏾

Asadox0405

You deserve a person like Audrey, Val. You totally deserve a person who looks at you with love😭😭

Kaede159

Nah because why you want us to cry?

GwiYeoMi

oi bruv is that a bri'ish metroid?

clevererer

This hurts, man. I mean ive read live with yourself, I knew you were capable of it, but it still hurts. There better be fluff on the horizon you bastard (this is so beautifully and lovingly illustrated and I'm so thankful this is something you're showing with such care and I know this is going to mean a lot to a lot of people so thank you shen)

SerpentSavvy

VAL DEVELOPMENT I CANT WAIT RAAHHH

Freako

Its ok being a bug is awesome some days

Quinn Lee-miller

It's okay Val, Audrey will want to help you; they don't want to mock you, or make you feel bad ;u; they just want you to be happy frfrrrr

Empirykal

Damn it Shen we were joking about black mold just before this peak

Brian McDermott

You'd be amazed at how much cleaning you can do in 18 minutes when you've entered panic mode

The Xablee

Just subscribed cause I couldn't wait for next episode. 10/10 worth it.

Sirius Face

Having read this a few times, it finally dawned on me how much Audrey would hate knowing this is how Val feels. It's going to be so devastating when they eventually have their first fight.

Shy or Tails

Shen how do you know Val's feelings like that, that is exactly how I feel when I meet someone like Audrey... why are you utterly exposing me with total annihilation

hirntod

Shine on, you crazy diamond~

BunnyStretches

Da Bwack Mowowd was the friends we made along the way

Sleeping Egg

Ah... my beautifuls are here....

Andrew Frisina

Okay yeah that room's pretty bad but I still don't see piss bottles and shit bags. Still could be worse, the crumbs are definitely not helping. I did not however see an infestation of cockroaches and flies so still could be worse. Anyways Val you sure do got some debilitating social anxiety don't you? I'm guessing for her video games are the one moment she feels so in the zone that she can't think about others' gazes. So due to that she spends as much time as possible doing it. She might need to get accustomed to that discomfort until it becomes easier to deal with. Also probably a hefty amount of unresolved self-esteem issues in regards to how others treated her in the past, and how she was viewed by her peers and possibly also her parents. That insect is so fucking adorable, and so is Val. Such beautiful nature scenes, I fuckin' love the li'l snail. Such utterly gorgeous lighting.

Malcolm Maes-McCrimmon

Me: Jeez, Val, why didn't you start sooner?? Val: Yeah, I really should have. Say, how's that big project of yours getting along? Me: *sweats*

Coral Aaquid

Why does it fit Val so well tho 😭

justanace

my expectations too, exactly

Mel

this series is so healing thank u shen

Ria

God I love the boy from venus by shen comix

Eva

Shen, this comic is absolutely beautiful. You inspire me as an artist, every time I see a new post. Thank you. Thank you for what you do and for making it easily accessible.

El Davey

Dang. I feel that sense of self doubt and loathing. Lived with that for a looong time

Flynx

Can relate to being woefully self-deprecating. I was less combative about it when I was deep in depression during my 20s and early 30s, tho.

faeribling

oh no. i'm in this and i don't like it 😓 (i love this)

霄森美

This really hits hard. She is self-conscious on a daily basis, but it is contained. When she finally meets someone she cares about, she digs deep into herself because she wants to be better for them. Val on her own doesn't take care of herself, but wants to be presentable for Audrey. During the depths of my depression, it was really hard to care about myself. Of course I'd think about myself, but never in ways that would help me. You get so used to it. But then, I had to drive my friend to school. I was suddenly responsible for another person, a person that I cared about. Even though I didn't feel like it sometimes, I would get up and get ready for school to drive them in. It's difficult to care about yourself, but you'd never let another person down. I really hope Audrey can be that beacon for Val; something to live for.

Tristan King

I said I would do it and I did you've claimed my dollar shen well played

Wizerl

There is floor somewhere. She just needs to find it

Victoria

I’m crying

AzaChattan

Ah the predictions of her room were accurate

Artbarian

Aww! I know that one, it's the mortifying ordeal of being known!! Uh oh Val!!

AEIDA

I come for the comic, but I stay for the feels. 🥲🥲

Sayla Remen

Internet went out at work and I missed the notification 😔 devastated but this was like a reward when I got home

Asra

I wonder what every body imagine their voices to be like, like for Val its easy but what about Audrey, i think any voice would suit him but i wonder if he would speak with a lighter tone or a more deep tone, either way he stays the cutest !!!

Adididi!

SHEN IS THERE A 2 DOLLAR OPTION FOR 2X SKIP I AM MWLTING

Viridian

you are cruel and evil

Scaros78

Why must you spite us with those relatable panels.

Brandon Rule

That I got this for $1 is ridiculous I love this so much.

Kaiyalai

I want to give Val a big hug and help her out

Halie_kittty

The way I want them to kiss but also just love each other in general 🥹♥️

Burt Hatton

The multitude tightens its hold

Brian Ricciardi

I picture him with a lighter inflection since Val didn't clock him as a man when they first spoke, nor did Fatima or the two guys in the arcade.

Graysea

This episode has everything. 🐌🐌🐌🐌 Tis the season.

Dr Geld

The art quality deserves a new top level on the tier list. Shen casually decided to escalate and ascend

Anders

Why do you do this to us

Vampatics

This one is so fucki g real

Citrus Carnival

I be making jokes in your comments, Shen.... but this ache in my chest is real. You have created something silly and sweet and whimsical and emotional and sad and I am sad HDBSidh. I relate to Val, especially cuz of trauma caused by men. It's nice to see how a man can write these things and I can relate. Makes me feel human

Raven Singing

I love the thick British-accented Londoner Metroid xD

D'Artagnan Wayland

Excellent cosplays and damn that's some deep inner thoughts

Arnulfo Martinez

Dang! The feels! It hits right at the sore spot I had when I was a disgusting teenager. I'm very thankful that the birth of my Daughter gave me a strong reason to rise above my self-destruction to provide a life for my family. I was only 18 when she was born, it felt like I had only 2 choices. Ship up or ship out, and I didn't want to be a deadbeat. Thank the Lord because I am 32 now.

Christopher Bryan

How the fuck did you make the metroid look stressed out.

day

shen i'm crying. wtf. this is all your fault

SandB

I'm new here- and I just wanted to leave a comment to say this series is absolutely incredible. I love it so much. I love the parallels you've written into your story (e.g, Audrey loves himself, Val hates herself, Audrey accepts feminity and the men that have hurt Val reject it), I love the joy you gave to Audrey, I love Val discovering a man that challenges her deep misandry through kindness and friendship, I love the grace the characters extend to one another, the art, these poignant chapters in the middle of everything that touch on the depth of the characterization you've written, everything. I think the whole thing is incredibly beautiful and thought provoking and thoughtful and I'm so grateful it was made. Thank you for sharing it.
