Same situations, different people
That’s why I called it choice
There’s always a choice in how to act - in exactly the same situation, Chris chose to act differently, later explaining it by saying that Jay himself created the conditions in which Chris couldn’t hold himself back
The problem is never in the circumstances, the problem is always in the person making a conscious choice
Fairly obvious, but still

omggg I finally got the patreon subscription again!!!!
i FINALLY got a chance to sub to ur patreon and i am so happy😔🙏🙏
not only is your art incredible, but your storytelling is so masterful. gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous all around
Jay testing Adil this way is both self sabotage and a way to assure himself Adil is someone he genuinely wants to pursue. He wants to know he's safe and omg did Adil pass the vibe check. I love that Jay has realistic PTSD symptoms and as a victim, I can understand the whole testing thing. Its so amazing to see such a realistic story. It isn't perfect, they aren't without flaws, they are realistic, not falling in love immediately. Its genuinely one of the best stories I've come across
I don’t think he was testing adil I think he was just drinking his feelings away as a coping mechanism??
Adil and chr*s' hand are almost at the exact same position
Chr*s 🙏🙏
Sasha I also wanted to comment about why there’s some art of underdogs blocked
Depending on your subscription, you might have to pay more. But, it could also be an age restriction thing? Im unsure
top ten ways to stab somebody in the heart
As a SA victim, this made me really emotional and also hopeful. It's great to know there's kindness in other people and the ability to make good choices. 🥺 Love this so much, thank you for this post.
it’s so touching seeing art making some people who suffered sa feel better ❤️🩹 I’m so glad you still have hope for people, best wishes!!!
Sasha… I have no words. I was trying to say something nice, but I’m speechless
I have similar trauma to jay and the way you write this makes me feel so seen 😭 ❤️
also, I just wanted to say, as someone who experiences something very similar to what jay did and reacted almost uncannily similarly. he makes me feel very seen. i appreciate him as a character, and your art in general, a lot
im so happy they have eachother
Oh 😭 he’s taking the drink away from jay instead of giving him more like the 💩 monster did 😭
Oh Sasha 😭
this parallel is driving me crazy, your storytelling is amazing!!
thank you!!!!
Sasha, I'll be forever thankful with you. Thank you for creating such a beautiful story and characters, you can portrayed violence, madness and the horrible side of this world so well it hurts. However, you can portrayed the beauty of this world too, you dong bring hope to us, to Jay.
thank you so much!!!!
They are SO different. Adil sees himself as a criminal because of his family situation, but he is so respectful and hate all the violence he knows. On the other hand, Chris is a criminal, but he seems himself as a decent person. It says a lot about each of these characters, I really love it.
OMG, totally yes
oooooh my goooosh !!!
oOoOO oh my heart
Starting a petition to set Chris on fire bc hell is too far and is too good for him
really goes to show why jay is so comfortable with Adil. even if through / if he was pretending to be asleep he knows Adil would never do anything, he's such a sweetheart I hope they open up to each other soon ❤️
Adil is simply made different 😔🤲
why would you do this to us 🥀🥀🥀
Just kill me already!!!!
at this point just stab me 💔
I immediately started crying when I saw the parallels I hate the situation Jay when through and the fact that he can trust adil now makes me love them so much 🤍 I wasn’t ready to see the comparison between these two moments, even if we kind of knew them already, but I feel like being a victim of sa puts you in a position where you’re always unsure if you’re safe around someone or not and Adil being there proving himself time and time again is just so comforting idk I love them Underdogs it’s such a beautiful history and the community around it it’s so sweet I love it here 🤍 I’m very excited for the whole comic I feel it’s gonna be my personal favourite pice of art
Thank you so much!!! 😭💛💛💛
This is so true
Is Jay drunk or just sleepy(?) if so, what led him to drink ??? Unless he just felt like it, if it’s the same night as the “almost kiss” i’m assuming the timeline was almost kiss -> adil shower -> jay drunk??? Is he drinking to cope ??😞😞😞😓
Yep, he’s drunk I think he was drinking to drown out his thoughts about what happened between him and Adil While Adil was in the shower, Jay was dealing with his feelings in his own way He felt guilty for putting Adil in such an awkward position
Screw Chris tbh
this time a tear rolled down my cheek, not my thigh💔
BROO SKSKSKSKKSKKKKKKK
I immediately thought of this when Adil carried Jay. Today is just another day being a loud and proud Chris hater. And I feel it’s not just about Chris that couldn’t hold himself back, he is a predator, he calculated everything and consciously choose to hurt Jay. The fact that he manipulated him after what he did, he is so horrible and disgusting, I hate him so much
As a Chris Hater, I am ready to subscribe to your newsletter and every day that Chris exists is a good day for him to get 1d20 bee stings to the eyeball.
🥲
actually crying 😭
oh this broke my heart :(
this comic is my sacred book
You didn’t throw a brick you threw the whole construction site 💔💔
noo, that's so sweet.😭 We love Adil sm! And yes! No one forced Chris to do that. But also how Adil chooses to take care of jay🥲💗💞
The contrast between Adil keeping him safe, and Chris (this is him right???) putting him in danger 😭😭😭 JAY FEELS SAFE WITH ADIL BUT STILL SO NERVOUS HE TRIES TO BLOCK IT OUT SASHA IM ON THE GROUND SOBBING RIGHT NOW
Your writing abilities are less complimented than ur drawing skills obviously but you are very very good at writing too, and it only enhances how special your characters are. I love it 🫶
thank you so much!!!!!
MY HEARTTTTTT 😭
STOPPPPPP SASHAAAAA
IM CRYING
NOOO
oh stopp 😭😭😭😭
Три поста занадто Сашко😭відпочинь чуток
І нам відпочить від шедевро контенту пхахахах
this is so bittersweet, thank u for what u r making ❤️🩹
My heart get warm even tho it's broken 💔
you should've called it OUCH with the way this hurt me 😭😭😭😭
ok so i just roke up
no need to be violent
Sasha you are an incredible writer and artist oh my gosh
thank you so much!!!!
It’s about jay feeling comfortable getting drunk around Adil, the trust in a man much bigger and stronger than him. It’s about Jay finally having a safe space and trust in a person again. It’s about Jay having a person he can relax for once with, let some of the tension he always carries dissolve a little. It’s about how even when in anguish Adil looks after Jay. It’s about Adil and Jay taking care of each other, the bandaid, the hug after the party, this, I wouldn’t be surprised if Adil drapes a blanket over Jay. I love them so much I wanna cry.
yes!!!!
FELL TO MY KNEES IN SCJOOL
I can not wait for the whole comic to be out, being able to go into in depth analysis on shit like this is gonna be so fun
just fell to my knees 💔💔
I wonder how nervous Jay must’ve felt when Adil took him in his arms, even trusting him and being that drunk, if he wasn't asleep I think that situation may brought him memories...
Actually, he doesn’t have anything to remember in this moment, since he doesn’t recall blacking out back then next to Chris, and he barely remembers half of those events anyway But yeah, I think Jay definitely got nervous when Adil picked him up, not knowing what to expect
Oh I didn't notice this parallel but that's so well written
Sasha. I'm going to start bawling my eyes out.
Its not lust its love 👹👹👹
Seriously though i hope chris gets his balls chopped
It boils my blood for people like chris to roam around freely without consequences
sasha i’m gonna cry.
Did u at least kiss the brick before throwing it at me?😭
I love your attention to detail!!
Pls tell me Chris will end up bad in the comic I'm begging you
oh my goshhh 💔 hits close frl
i swear the gun just appeared in my hands
u just twist the knife
IT HURTS MY HEART SO MUCH
THIS and Adil just realised he had feelings and desire for him (Jay even suggested he kiss him), Jay’s super drunk but Adil would never do something like that no matter the situation 🙏
Even though Jay was flirting with him, and even though Jay probably has feelings for Adil and invited him to his apartment himself, Adil would never do anything like what Chris did
OMG YES!! I thought about the parallels with the previous post! I love it!
I LOVE ADIL!!! cute kitty 😭🌹 he was raised by the queen
It also shows how Jay trusts Adil and believes that he wouldn’t do the same thing as Chris (even tho he literally had a boner near him 😮)
I already know that once this comic comes out, its going to fuck me up real bad because this is is SICK😭😭
This is so good, Sasha 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Did you kiss the brick before you threw it at my face?
Adil would NEVER and i mean NEVER 😭
chris i hope u die alone in pain 💋
CHRIS KILL YOURSELF
I guess we’re going to sleep sad tonight :/
im gonna be SICK!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh DAMN Jay did that on purpose? I guess I get the point but damn boy take care of yourself
what exactly?
I HAVE NO ONE TO TALK ABT THIS WITH.
ALSO JAYS CHOICE. TO GET THAT DRUNK AROUND ADIL. NOBODY TALK TO ME IM FRAGILE.
we all hate chris in this house
aaawww i love them
did you just stab us 😧
painful, but important to point out
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT OF
OH my god
