Shades Of A 111
Sad faces are difficult to draw- there’s something weird looking about how the chin wrinkles up that’s hard to render in comic art.

Oh this page!
(I bet the present is a copy of Easy A)
I hope you don’t mind me asking but where was the Easy A reference made? I watched that movie the other night since I remembered it being mentioned here (I think it was around the time War & Chris were watching Mean Girls) I feel like I’ve missed something! Haha xP
Page 38 :P
Oh JD! My heart is breaking for them. And I am really, really not liking Anwar.
I really want to give JD a hug.
You blame him for this? How? He’s in just as much pain as JD is. He can’t understand what is ‘wrong’ with him, and is trying to not lead JD on any more. I’m proud of him.
I don’t know that I’d go so far as to say that I’m proud of Anwar but I definitely agree that in his mind I think he’s doing what is right here. Like I believe JD made reference to on an earlier page (not in a flashback), Anwar broke up with them based on a misplaced sense of martyrdom. I think Anwar really came to love JD, but felt he could not give JD what they really wanted (a partner who loves having sex with them). To him breaking up was the best thing he could do for them. You have to look at it from Anwar’s point of view. Based on the flashbacks and what he’s said of JD throughout the story so far it seems pretty clear that he views sex as very important to JD. He probably couldn’t imagine them really being happy without that. Yes, it was really pretty crappy of him to tell JD that they didn’t really love him, but I think that came from a place of intense defensiveness/panic. At this point I think he actually is trying to be more fair to JD…he just hasn’t realized yet that his opinion of what JD values in a relationship might not be be accurate or that talking things out could have brought them both to a place of better understanding (and less hurt feelings). So actually, come to think of it, maybe I am a bit proud of him. After all, he could have easily just said that he would keep having sex with JD, regardless of his lack of sexual desire, to keep things the way they are. I mean, obviously according to JD he’s really good at it. But instead of continuing to go along with sex with JD (not necessarily in the moment, but in the future) he chose to be honest about what he wants and desires. He just (possibly inaccurately) decided that his honest wants and desires would make him an undesirable partner for JD.
Ohhh snap, this page marks the first time JD calls Anwar ‘War and continues to call him that even in the present. I have a huge nagging feeling this flashback must be Anwar realizing that he unintentionally hurt JD and a part of me is very curious to see whether this will prompt him to apologize to JD.
Suddenly, it seems like JD’s casual and aloof act around Anwar is really just them trying to cover up their emotional pain and their romantic feelings for Anwar. If my observations are right, it’s love triangle a-go! :P
Maybe the thing to draw sad faces is to not trying to draw sad faces. I think most of the time people try to hide their sadness behind other “faces” (angry-sad, dull-sad etc) or they interiorize it..
It seems that people don’t express their feelings with both their eyes/brow and mouth/chin. It’s more from the eyes but when crying there is the mouth deformation too…
Raah I can’t express what I mean properly, but I hope it’s still mostly understandable :/
#headdesk ouch, I can feel Anwar’s cringing through the screen
Dftba
ouch, this huuuurts.
These two are breaking my heart they need to learn how to communicate!!
Also I wonder if that gift is a copy of Mean Girls….
I want to hug them both! aaaaa
Ya done goofed, son.
Oh! :(
So much pain.
the feels T-T
