“I hated Tom because he was an asshole (like me).”
Rereading this comic again and suddenly realizing Tom has been the absolute worst in part because this chapter is told from Jamie’s perspective. I think this extra scene is really still from Jamie, showing Tom in a positive light. He’s reflecting on his own brokenness and seeing how much he and Tom are alike (especially how they tend to turn to rage, irrational homophobic outbursts, and projection because they haven’t dealt with their shit), and he’s come around to appreciate that right now Tom is the asshole she needs. Both men are good people with problems who love Charlie whole-heartedly
love this comment! wholeheartedly agree ^^
It’s 2023, and I’ve finished my reread of these stories that I started to read in 2006. I won’t lie! I was way too young to be reading this mature material at the time, but you gave me the language and vernacular I would need going forward in life. What happened to Jamie ended up happening to me years later, and because I read that, I knew it was wrong immediatally. I got help, and I want you to know that with the person in question, if I HAD had no prior knowledge, I don’t think I would be okay. I won’t say this comic saved me, as I had counselors and other trusted adults, but you definitely contributed to my recovery and safety.
Later, in my later teens, I reread again. There’s a few comments here and there that might be me from ye old past, but this comic and other resources made me realize my name, which is before you, Jasper. Rereading again has been fun, it’s dated, the art certainly doesn’t look like your art now which I adore, and some messages are a bit hamfisted, BUT I can feel the love and earnestness. You told me a wonderful story, but you also educated me. You impacted my life in a little way, that made ripples down the line. I appreciate it, and even if we’ve never met, I appreciate you.
Thirteen year old me stopped reading as Shades of A started, as I found the content too graphic and asexuality too foreign, but now as a 23 year old, I will get to appreciate the rest of your career. Thank you for being you, simply. Have a good day Tab, looking forward to reading.
