Shades Of A 048
And we’re back on the 50 shades of Grey basic plot line! However I couldn’t write awkward-friend-sexual-assault with these two, so I went with awkward-crushing-after-a-failed-relationship-angst.
“Ana,” José has joined me. “You okay?”
“I think I’ve just had a bit too much to drink.” I smile weakly at him.
“Me too,” he murmurs, and his dark eyes are watching me intently. “Do you need a hand?” he asks and steps closer, putting his arm around me.
“José I’m okay. I’ve got this.” I try and push him away rather feebly.
“Ana, please,” he whispers, and now he’s holding me in his arms, pulling me close.
“José, what you doing?”
“You know I like you Ana, please.” He has one hand at the small of my back holding me against him, the other at my chin tipping back my head. Holy fuck… he’s going to kiss me.
“No José, stop – no.” I push him, but he’s a wall of hard muscle, and I cannot shift him. His hand has slipped into my hair, and he’s holding my head in place.
“Please, Ana, cariña,” he whispers against my lips. His breath is soft and smells too sweet – of margarita and beer. He gently trails kisses along my jaw up to the side of my mouth. I feel panicky, drunk, and out of control. The feeling is suffocating.
“José, no,” I plead. I don’t want this. You are my friend, and I think I’m going to throw up.
“I think the lady said no.” A voice in the dark says quietly. Holy shit! Christian Grey, he’s here. How?
I promise I’ll be funny again on monday.
Bu I need you to be funny on Thursdays..
Thursdays are where shit gets serious.
As someone who hasn’t read 50 shades but spent the afternoon translating a Japanese game where the guy gets the girl drunk before taking her up to his hotel room, makes her agree to a marriage proposal under the influence and then nails her on the bed… I found that excerpt hilarious.
Poor Anwar, honey…
Oh wow. You take the prize.
Your life is infinitely better for not having read that waste of data space/paper. It’s utterly terrible, and promotes violence against women, and all sorts of misogyny/patriarchy/victim-blaming bullshit. I was convinced that the person who told me it was written by a woman was a dirty rotten liar. Then I googled the author.
Not only is the Spanish friend named after our former president (José Luis Rodríguez, really? It’s the same as if in my novel I needed an american name and I chose George Bush), he speaks bad Spanish too. Cariña is not a real word. Cariño is both for male and female. OMG James, you didn’t even try.
Lol, I forgot how horribly racist she was until this page. I could only address so many issues to correct when writing to Focus Features.
For me José sounds like the name you give a guy in a Porno when you want to make sure everyone gets he’s foreign and exotic with an uncontrolled sexual urge. She’s not only racist, she’s also working with a woman’s ideal from the 50th (maybe that’s where the title really comes from) I would’ve found a ton of better ways to ward off a guy then plead with him
A friend asked me how I knew FSoG was a bad novel if I hadn’t read the whole thing. I told her I’d read enough. This tiny except here? This is enough!
Actually, the last seven words are enough.
Heh. I told someone I opened the front cover and nearly had my face melted off by the radioactive sludge in that book.
I know that awkward-crushing-after-a-failed-relationship angst far far far too well.
this exchange makes me like jd a whole lot.
You mean you didn’t before? Shame on you!
But yeah. Even after what was just reveals she still lets An come round, cry on their bed and watch bad movies together.
Not to mention carry An outside and, I suspect, be perfectly willing to hold his hair out the way, figuratively speaking.
I believe JD is a they i.e. ‘…just reveals they still let An come round…’ rather then a she :)
Oops. And here I felt all clever for saying ‘their’ bed, not ‘her’ bed.
Sorry JD! I meant no disrespect!
Idk if JD is only the one who lets Anwar come around. By what they say it seems that Anwar ended the relationship and to me it sounds like they are dipping the toe in the water of Anwar’s drunken mind to see if there are still any feelings for them left, feels like JD is the one post-relationship-crushing-angst-y here
btw it’s really awkward for me to use pronouns I’ve learned to use in plural on one person and even more so because I don’t know anyone personally who identifies as anything else than male or female…I mean I respect any person outside of or unsure about gender-binary but it’s not like I have the chance to actually do so^^
-cringes-….. It’s “cariño” José… not …….”cariña”….. -cringes again-….
JD is really hot in these panels…. wait, since JD is a they, should I have used “are” for this case? I wanted to, but I wasn’t sure if that would’ve been grammatically correct… (not that my grammar’s that great either, but still….)
I’d use is- they is being used as a singular pronoun.
Awesome, thank you! :3
While my friend, who is asexual, was gender free, several of us in the group of friends used ‘cat’ words. Meow instead of he or she and murr instead of him or her. She has since stated a preference for a female identity so we’ve switched to that but every now and then we’ll all get the giggles when she says ‘here kitty kitty’
I know I’m a little late because the comic moved on from Anwar’s uni results a couple of pages ago, but I was wondering, did the timing of Anwar’s results intentionally coincide with the release of peoples’ results irl, or was it just a coincidence?
More on topic: JD looks fabulous as usual this page. :)
JD has gorgeous eyes! Loved the close up shots of them here :)
Is anyone else having trouble with the next and last and previous buttons?
They work fine for me, maybe your browser is being weird?
Yep! Not working on Chrome, for some reason.
I use Chrome and it doesn’t work for me either.
Ditto here. They are nonfunctional in Chrome.
With each 50-shades-of-gray citation i feel more and more glad i haven’t read that trash. thx tab ;), u were the one who made me realize i shouldn’t even try to read it *thumbs up*
A minute of silence for those poor commas massacred by the author of 50SoG, please.
Christian Grey is obviously some sort of creepy Batman-type, randomly appearing out of nowhere.
Ugh. I haven’t read 50 Shades of Grey, but every time you quote it, all I can think is ugh vomit vomit bleeeeerrrrgggghhhh.
(There should be quotes around the “ugh vomit vomit bleeeeerrrrgggghhhh.”)
(You know, because that’s totally a sentence.)
