you know how anne rice was possessed by lestat until her death......fictional blonde men (there are no real blonde men) are so dangerous. They'll get in your head and start gnawing at your neural pathways and getting blood all over your new carpet.... vati I hope you have taken precautions to protect yourself

All these years later and he still doesn't know how to say "Good. Good for you." and mean it. He might be nonverbal, but man is his face speaking at the top of his lungs to the feelings of his betrayal.

Ciggie · February 4, 2025

I will never EVER be over your study of faces and all the myriad of emotions you're able to wring out with one expression/single image! UGGGHHHHH!!! And I know I'll look at this in a few hours and notice even more 😅 god DANG it, man! 👏👏👏

When did A2 stop being nonverbal? Or does he still nonverbally communicate in adulthood sometimes? (I will throw up if I stop thinking about these two)

v
vatican · February 4, 2025

he's still nonverbal sometimes in adulthood, but look homeward starts at a place where he's quite actively trying to make an effort to reconnect w a1/make a1 laugh/feel better/etcetc so he is talking quite a bit more than he normally would

how dare they take a1 away from his real family? a2 is right there?

E
Em · February 4, 2025

I love the pressure difference between the two questions. Like a2 had strong emotions during the second, and/or did that thing where you trace over your letters sometimes after you’ve written them cause you’re unsure.

v
vatican · February 4, 2025

yeah! and kind of a play on him repeating himself bc a1 was spacing out and not 'listening' to him

v

So it is a new family. I like that they are communicating a little bit. Given what I now think about a2 and what he is capable of I am clenching harder.

ElectronicMilkshakeWhispers · February 4, 2025

(Kinda off-topic, but chapter two page fifteen: was the first speech bubble changed? I‘ve got a version downloaded saying "You can’t tell me what to do" but when I looked on here today it said "We’re not kids anymore, you can’t tell me what to do".)

Something something Mikey always pulling him back from the wide open world. Contemplating flying away like a bird and litttle man and thumps him on the shoulder like “no! Pay attention to meeeeeee” 😭
