[Early Access] Take Off S2 Ch.128 "The Eulogy (Part 3)"

The scenes where they pass each other in the cold were truly stunning - the lighting and colour palette were so immersive I felt like I could hear the cold breeze blowing. And the little foreshadowing of their fate was really a cute touch of magic, it evoked kid-like joy in me 🥰

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, thank you for this arc to help us understand why these precious men do what they do. Will there be an arc for Nathan? I know he is more self-aware, but he has his own demons that made him act the way he did with that artist. That behavior must have come out of past hurts.

This backstory was incredible, it was so well placed and gave me a much better insight on Andrew and why he acts the way he does. His interaction with the man at the laundry mat was so precious and wholesome, I started crying with him

I understand where Andrew’s challenges with his relationship are coming from now. He’s had to endure this life long pressure to do what everyone else wants & the first time he’s encouraged to REALLY do what he wants- he panics because he hasn’t really had the opportunity to figure out who he is yet. My baby ❤️💔

👀🤦🏾‍♀️

Man...I just came over from Tapas and caught up to here; I did not expect the bottoming-out that just kind of happened in one fell swoop (I know still repeated rejections, but...) and from a great height. Seeing Andrew's flashback, I'm feeling even more for him because I relate so much, honestly, and at least he went to a university where he's doing what he loves and realizes the things he denies, even as he denies them. Just...the agonizing and constant worry and not wanting to disappoint, and not wanting to hurt others as well, but yeah......it comes to a point eventually......... And I definitely get Nathan's point of view as well; for someone who knows himself so well and knows what he wants, you don't want to make your partner even indirectly because that hurts you, too...damn; I'm so pumped for the next episode TwT ✨🙌🏼 Just wanna say, Jui, you're doing an amazing job with your storytelling and all of the emotions/expressions; it all feels very real and relatable in such a unique way. Thank you for this story 💙🫂

LOL I have to say it's hard to imagine Andrew speaking 粤语 in real life. But I am looking forward to seeing my baby Andrew have some dirty talks in Cantonese with Nathan when they have sex in the future. Damn it gotta be so hot.

Crying over a sock rn

I am so happy to see where and how Andrew got his nipples pierced just cos he wants to be a hot twink! In NYC, out of all the places! 💚🙏💚🙏😁👍

“I wanna be a hot twink” like AWWW. Andrew you are the biggest heartthrob 😣😣😣😣

This chapter is so beautiful and so coming-of-age. Self-discovery and sexuality (and more) are ongoing adventures we experience throughout our lives. We think we figured out how we tick (or want to tick), and then something hits us with a “sike, try again.” Seeing Andrew making that personal choice to not apply to the dream school his parents envisioned for him is so visceral. The short montage of Andrew changing externally throughout his first year at university is so precious because we long for his transformation to happen internally/emotionally as well. And I think what he said about “who will write my eulogy” in a previous chapter is so interesting. It makes me emotional knowing who Andrew will meet along his journey of growth that will answer this question. Andrew is a cutie patootie, and I hope he gets showered with love and adoration for years to come.

I love this so much. Such detail 🥹 I can't wait for more 🤗❣️

Is it me or Nathan should pick up that sock? bc that will be perfect

The way you made me CRYYYYYYY when Andrew started crying! WOOOOOW 😭😭😭 I love this chapter. It’s so real! And the interaction with the laundry owner it’s SOOOO ON POINT 😂 the “don’t cry! you Are a big man” was soo on character from that generation 👏🏼 can’t wait for more! EXCITED! -please just let them be happy now 😩😩😩-

I love this sooo much. It’s always the little details that can bring so much meaning to us! Missed my baby Andrew 💕

rrraahh i will protect him at all costs😩😩😩😤😤😤👊👊👊 (nathan you will pay for your sins)

While reading I felt the same emotions, including crying.

That was cute! I personally love flashbacks

Tis the start of andrew’s hot twink era

I love that near miss outside the launderette. You're such a good story teller 😃

HOT TWINK😭😭😭😭

As always the wait is worth it. Keep us dreaming about this couple ! 😶‍🌫️

With big, hopeful eyes into the future. His airport shot is great - I can't really describe it but it's just this feeling of something new. Excitement, freedom, happiness, a bit of fear of the unknown, a bit dreamy- just something big and new ahead(probably what it should convey - or at least it feels so for me - , because he is taking a big step). And yanked back to reality lol I've never been to NYC but that panel is like the things you learn from movies 😅 It's nice to see how he thrived in his new environment - doing things he wants making new friends, learning about things he is passionate about. And the little interaction at the laundromat 🥹 it's so sweet. Just the small reminder of home but also to make a new home and family, without having to hide. It looks like it was really good for him. AND then bumping into Nathan!? Omg I love that so much!! And the sock metaphor? Love it! Andrew was the little lost sock but he was definitely found and picked up! Sometimes people do pick lost things up. Aaaaah I like it so much!! As a sucker for the soulmate trope myself I'm screaming, giggling, kicking my feet right now!! This flashback was really great, because it gave more insight into Andrew's ways,etc. And it was short and sweet, giving the important bits of information you need. It was really well done. Thank you Jui and your team for the great chapter💜💜🙏🏻

God I love every detail, every meaning. Every chapter is amazing and I'm glad you took your time to make it perfect. ❤️

I cried 😭 Andrew missing home but feeling undeserving and "not good enough" when he *was* at home is so sad. The laundromat man is my hero. THE LOST AND FOUND BOX. lowkey had me sobbing a little

I think this backstory was well needed. It helps us fully understand his insecurities and what makes andrew tick

I will say I normally find backstories slow and hate when they drag on. But this was honestly perfect. Gave us all the clarity on Andrew’s insecurities, was heartfelt and honestly moved me multiple times. And then the little nod to them being fated was just the perfect way to end it. Again truely one of my favourite web comics, so well written and I wait patiently and eagerly for the next chapter!

Andrew calling himself a twink is peak comedy. He’s not even a twunk! 😂

I don't mind the backstory ❤️ it gives more depth to the characters! But I'm so excited to go back to the present next chapter! Thank you for another wonderful chapter Jui 🫶

Aww not him crying at the laundromat 😭 Also you’re not a twink Andrew!

I cant word it correctly but there’s just something about the whole “lost & found” close up after they bump into each other that i find so meaningful 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

So beautiful thank you for this I was just happy to see him smile 😭

Aaaaahhhhhh I've missed our boys so much! I hope we see them okay soon. This is truly one of my favorite web comics, and I read A LOT of comics....

My darling Andrew! I missed you so much 🥰

Him wanting to be hot as motive for the piercing is so relatable😂also I swear Andrew is the most attractive man!! Inside and out this man is a GEM! You know he’s a sweet man from every little interaction he has with others and not being afraid to cry/face his feelings. 😩💕I can’t wait for the two soulmates to be together when it’s the right time 🥹✨meanwhile where’s my attractive soulmate??😖Somewhere waiting for the right timing I guess😂

Andrew is so dear to me. Only wishing for the best for this big soft boy 💞

Not Andrew want to be a hot twink I can't 😂 him an Nathan crossing paths there destiny to be together oh my heart 💗

I just wanna be a hot twink too Andrew 😭

Old nathan from all this time ago 😭 the babies I need them together again already my heart hurts so much still 🥺

I shed real damn tears reading this 😭 Andrew is so darling and it’s great to see how he grew from his past and is blossoming into his own person! I totally relate to being the only child given high expectations (as I am one as well), so it’s nice to see how he slowly began to accept himself fully. I can’t wait to see how Nathan and him finally make their way back to each other. Thanks so much for sharing, Jui ❤️❤️❤️

Aww 🥰 I too am a sucker for the soulmate trope! Also, I love getting more of the backstories! Andrew trying to find himself is precious! And I laughed so hard at the “want to be a hot twink” hahahaha 😂

ANDREW BBY BOY YOU AINT NO TWINK 😂❤️ but you are a hot big man

I’m screaming! I love this! Destiny!

MY GUT SAID GO CHECK PATREON AND I AM SO EXCITED
