Hi

yknow, this is kind of what I meant when I said you guys other-ize women that don't support you entirely.

You're acting like Kai is asking for something the way she's acting. There's not a lot of sympathy and sisterhood for him, even though you preach it.

We ever gonna talk about how incredibly creepy Rusty portrays Kai and his boyfriend. Like, I'm about to have my head on a platter for this one:

Kai and his relationship with his boyfriend reeks of heavy revenge fantasy.

Like... The entire point and "joke" of Kai's relationship is that his boyfriend doesn't actually support his identity as a transgender man, and is faking doing so for what I'm guessing is solely the purpose of getting in his pants considering that's all Rusty seems to think that men are, made even creepier with their heavy age difference of 21 and 29. Considering Rusty and her TERF goons view Kai as nothing more than a "yaoi addicted woman who's a victim of patriarchy but we still hate her because its also simultaneously her fault", this smells so strongly of a revenge fantasy. It gives the heavy vibes of how so many shows and stories will have an evil or antagonistic female character, and it essentially plays out as:

"This evil/abrasive/bratty/antagonistic female character deserves to be punished! But what should be her punishment...? Ah, perfect! She deserves to be assaulted!"

I think what's honestly sad is that I wouldn't even put it past Rusty and her TERF goons to write one of the gendie characters to be assaulted as revenge for being a gendie, especially Kai. Would she probably ever do it? Probably not. Would I be even remotely shocked if she did? No. Not at all.

Link tto some of the leasebound dissertions you mentioned? Or even just where they can be found? I appreciate it!

First of all: very sorry about the late reply!

Second: the majority of people on the leasebound tag on tumblr have come up with amazing stuff regarding leasebound!

One such account is @micah-write , who makes great criticisms of the webcomic in depth, and who I was largely referencing with that line! Their criticism of Rusty's skin lightening over time was spot on, and I laughed so hard at the "Patricia" line.

Another is @fluffytimearts with their incredible art! They've done amazing redraws and redesigns!

@l0veraven has a ton of cool dissertations and criticisms, such as their criticism about Riley linked here: https://www.tumblr.com/l0veraven/763359106662809600/we-dont-talk-about-riley?source=share

They're also working on a fic to rewrite LB in its entirety! It's available on AO3.

@angelmelon is pretty famous in the Leasebound community, and is working on a sort of redraw of the entire comic! They're wonderful, and their ideas are interesting to hear out.

@codabound has so many good ideas that I wish I posted first, and they're all very well phrased and well rounded. They've also got great art on their account!

And finally, @chrysalis-the-butterfly has this amazing Blaire text that inspired me to write my initial Blaire post:

That's all for now! Check these blogs out!

I don't understand the obsession with sex and all things physical in terms of showing attraction.

It's one of those mentalities that let porn take such presidence in our society- that sex is fundamentally, something everyone shows to prove they're "attracted" to something. And that later leads to the degradation we see later on in r*pe fantasies and exploitation that have been, in fact, popularised by pornography.

Sex in modern society is just a way to present control; over women, over other people, and as we saw earlier, over minority groups people see as "needing to be fixed". Sex has fundamentally become the ultimate show of power, and a lot of things aren't helping it.

Sex as empowerment needs to be followed up with the reminder that it's just *sex*. Love and appreciation don't have to be physical to be truly meaningful. And it gets lost in so many of the muddled discussions between the hard-core "Abstinence"-ers, the perversion, and the objectification that often ensues in a discussion regarding sex and how we perceive it.

Ultimately, stigmas regarding sex *need* to be broken down. Sex education, sex workers, all of it needs to be discussed and examined because if we keep this all under wraps, we're not letting the right people have the discussion. We ultimately tear ourselves apart using either hushed tones or bigotry against topics regarding sex and sexual attraction.

that's just my two cents, anyway

THANK YOU MICAH!!!!!

Requiem Adam part 1

Requiem Adam is making its grand debut ! Comic made with love and passion by our amazing @derkuningas

Cw: almost complete nudity , strong language

The story telling trough show is really amazing , we see the emptiness in his gaze then we are gradually exposed to his environment and the people around him , we are not thrown into the unfamiliar harshly and that from my humble opinion is showing a great understanding of her interpretation of story telling

She knows how she wants to tell us her story and she show it well

That panel is perhaps a little too quickly to my liking but it's a great shock as well leaving us hanging for what's coming , its also not in our face , leaving place for explanation when the time will come and simply showing us that it's there to be shown and explored

I like that the premises of the story is told trough a TV broadcast , its such an interesting way of telling indirectly to the viewer what's going on

Again she knows how story telling works and put what's she learn to great use

The character designs are creative and don't suffer from same face syndrome nor do they lack

The guy is shown naked and from a character design wise we understand very quickly that he is a shell , we are gonna grow and learn with him he is our vessel to understand this world

Our girl is dressed "breaking" fashion rules, she wears a skirt , leggings , a big poofy jacket she has a tooth gap , she is unconventional by design amd is flawed , she's arguably the most human of the cast so far because she is shown out of a mold that exist (see panel 3 picture on the wall) her sharp hairstyle can also indicate her sharp personality bringing us to even further analyse her

For our broadcasting lady she is shown tall and strong in a serious pose her haircut covering half her face leading us to understand she likely only says half truths or hides a lot she wears black long dress expressing her strong feminity yet she is in power , she's the one controlling what information people get

Im sorry there's not much more i can say for now except go read it , its worth it and stay on the edge of your seat because the story is coming and you definitely won't regret it 🫶🫶
