Shades After page 97
See, JD knows the key to strength is squats and core exercises.
Took a couple of re-draws due to non responses, but the Gender Nebula shirt, with full planet badge sets are now on their way to Rob Whittaker on Twitter and MinkyMuffs and KeelieBradshaw on Tumblr. Sorry facebook people- I had a facebook winner but as it goes to the ‘Other’ folder most people don’t check their messages there and had to redraw.
If you liked the shirt you can now grab it in the store over here!

The color of Anwar’s shirt changes between panels 1 and 2. And this tells you how obsessively I read this comic. You make my Monday mornings.
Pretend it’s a really small towel that he put over his shoulders and it wasn’t a mistake, lol.
I noticed it too!
Awww dammit. Brb, fixing error…
I would love to date another ace person. That could be good, assuming they’re not sex-repulsed. Sex can actually be kinda fun ^_^
Also, Asexualitic sucks. It clearly isn’t owned or operated by any asexuals, and only exists as another phishing site.
Where were you in December!? Lol I signed up for that site back then, met one cool person and left because that site had nothing to offer 0_-
Here’s a secret: most dating sites are phishing scams. It’s a secret that everyone knows deep down, but nobody ever talks about.
Tell ya what, Persona, if you’re in the Northwest let’s meet up some time ;-)
Alas, I’m stuck in Asia for about a year, but thanks for the sentiment :)
So…. I know it’s not the point of these panels, and I know everyone does their own thing at the gym but…. JD’s doing back squats with A LOT of weight, facing away from the rack, and has no one to spot him (Since War is far away and sitting). Kinda really dangerous… I think…
*Them
Ah, my gym ignorance is showing! Cheers for the info, it’s too late to change the pages now but I’ll know for future reference.
Oh good. When I realised what they were doing I was like “HOW MUCH ARE THEY LIFTING?!” Especially the damage it can do the moment it goes wrong… I can’t even do squats because my legs bend oddly, resulting in me twisting and putting too much strain on my lower back and hips.
I’m glad I’m not the only one to be surprised at how much/how they’re lifting.
Glad I’m not the only person who caught on to the bar thing. My thoughts: Damn, 1. JD is squatting like 225+ pounds which is a ton for a (presumably) non-testosterone injecting/male bodied person and 2. They’re doing it while TALKING! Maybe JD is just a god and we don’t yet know it. :)
Yeah, that was my first thought too. Looks like J.D. is squatting about 125kg (2 pairs of ‘big wheels’ at 20kg each, plus another pair of plates which are either 4.5 or 11kg, plus the bar), which is pretty impressive but may or may not be a lot depending on how long and seriously J.D. has been lifting. But J.D. also seems to be struggling to get back up and you really really shouldn’t be maxing out your lifts without being in the rack or having spotters. (And for squatting, it’s safer to have two spotters, one for each end of the bar, rather than having a person spot you from behind.) One *can* back squat heavy without a rack or spotters if you know how to get the weight up and also dump the bar safely if you fail your lift, but I don’t know why you would do so if you have a rack right there.
Yay, JD! I feel like we haven’t seen them in forever :)
I just love that JD is being safe and not wearing their binder while lifting and doing the gym thing.
I’m super curious about Anwar’s acey dating experience cuz I was under the impression between JD and Chris, he’d been single…
Speaking as a trans-man (and a rather chesty one pre-surgery) I know the pain of wearing it during exercise (argh!) and the anxiety of not wearing it. I had real trouble keeping fit pre-surgery because of it. In the end I was only going running at about 3am with no binder, since I was just so self-conscious otherwise.
I wonder how much dysphoria JD has over their breasts? There’s been no mention of them considering surgery, but there are many reasons not to have the surgery.
Crikey, JD can really lift!
Going by the art, I’d say they’re lifting 230-235lbs, which is a good amount of weight.
That is like…me carrying a rather large dog. That’s a heck of a lot!
Does JD have the booty? THEY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
