Because Tom, of course, is Batman.
Also it is probably a very bad thing that scared Alex looks so damn adorable.
From what we know of Alex he’s probably not all that scared, just confused at what Jamie is on about.
Agreed. Alex’s telling says he saw Jamie’s pain, and while he was takenoff gaurd, he could tell that something was very wrong for Jamie.
Other perspectives have shown Alex react in anger, but they also show him as insecure or uncertain. Tom was suprised as shit when Alex went all judo on him, I’m sure Jamie took notice too.
Alex is totally my hero. ^_^
ALEX NOOOO!
Wonderful drawings, as ever. Jamie in the last panel is heartbreaking – he just looks so confused and lost.
Great to see how it became to look as finished (seeing the process in livestream was interesting)!
It’s also interesting how much Jamie likes Alex anyway…
Best.birthday. present. ever! A new page!
AND THEN CHARLIE.
No wait.
Then Tom.
AND THEN CHARLIE
YAY CHARLIE!!!
Charlie cures all :3
Everybody loves Charlie. <3
YES!!! CHARLIE SHALL RULE THE WORLD AS EMPRESS!!! AND WE ALL BOW BEFORE HER!!! <3 <3 <3
All hail Her Elegance, the Empress Charlie!, ruler of all fabric!
To be fair, I’d probably be gay for Alex, too. :/
To be fair… I can’t decide! D:
Don’t worry Jamie, all you need is Charlie :3
I’m starting to wonder if Jamie is attracted to Charlie because she’s sort of a girl version of Alex, all tiny and sweet and innocent (apparently sweet and innocent, rather; she’s not nearly as sweet as Alex on her best day).
well, all the characters pretty much look the same….
Ah, he actually does like guys.
And? It’s not as if he can have Alex.
I think this is more of him seeing Alex as himself as a child. That’s why the description of Alex makes the point that he’s blond.
I agree. Not all affection/positive feelings for another person are sexual or romantic.
No, he can’t have Alex. But he CAN have Charlie. This can be taken as somewhat offensive, but I think the reason he likes Charlie is because she is a woman but male-bodied, kind of like the best of both worlds for him. As in, he’ll have closure in that it’s technically a straight relationship, but she has the body he (probably) is attracted to.
if by “somewhat offensive” you mean riddled with cissexism and transphobia, then yes, the comment was “somewhat offensive”
Just a thought… maybe Super is right, but Jamie realises that that behaviour is wrong. And that’s why he breaks up with her. Before she realises he’s using her as a way to be seen as straight while being attracted by male bodies. Jamie is seriously confused, but if this is the case, at least he’s thinking about Charlie’s feelings. Although, like I said, this is just a thought. On another topic: <3 Alex!

How is that cissexist and transphobic? -honest question-
That’s what I’d like to know as well. And I do think that is the reason he wants to break up with her – because he knows it’s wrong to be with her for that reason. AND THEN, IN MY HIGHEST OF FANTASIES, maybe he’ll be with Tom and Alex in a three-way relationship!
it’s transphobic and cissexist because saying that a trans woman’s body is male is…transphobic and cissexist? she has a female body because she is female. it’s not okay to be like “oh she’s sexy to jamie because he REALLY likes boy bodies but this way he can pretend to be straight!”
He’s not showing mad secret loves for Alex here, what hes doing is being horrified as he realises that he kinda gets something out of the power. And that terrifies him. It doesn’t matter if Alex is male or female, he could be a goddam puppy at this point, the issue is that he looks hurt and pathetic.Jamie is straight as an arrow, unfortuately for many of our secret fantasies!
Although the commenter above is correct, given Alex has the physical strength to break Jamie in about two seconds this is probably more his “wtf are you ok?” Face.
Yep. I don’t think Jamie is attracted to Alex (not sexually, anyway), though this page is certainly a boon to shippers.
Powerful, to feel someone hurt under my hands for a change.
Jamie wants, understandably, to lash out, but he has enough self-control to stop himself. Bravo!
TRiG.
Abusees often become abusers and it is both heartwarming and heartbreaking to see Jamie fighting so hard against that.
Shippers gonna ship :p
But then that doesn’t make him a “hypocrite,” as he calls himself.
yes. That would be *why* he’s calling himself a hypocrite!
I’ve just reread Charlie’s story pages 41-44. D’awwww. Looking forward to seeing it again from Jamie’s perspective.
TRiG.
(What does “TRiG” mean?)
Nothing in particular. I just have a habit of signing my posts.
Timothy Richard Green.
Omg thank you I have been wondering that since I saw your first comment ever.
>_>… I just thought he was just really good at math…
Jamie you poor conflicted, confused conundrum.
The terror of realizing you’re becoming the twisted fucked uppedness you’ve feared and resented most your life, all told in the eyes, no words necessary.
I wonder what would have happened if Tom hadn’t shoved in. He obviously realizes that acting this way is making him the monster he was subjected to as a kid. =(
Also the facial expressions have always been ace, but it’s really showing in these Jamie pages!
When I read the line about “the dramatic Tom rescue,” I shuddered in anticipation.
I shiver with atici-
-pation.
Bah. I put a bunch of linebreaks in there to draw out the pause. WordPress snipped them out.
TRiG.
It worked anyway, Mr. Tim-curry-othy Richard Green.
Well. Jamie’s Story really _is_ all about getting over and away from his mother, huh. Not inherently a bad person at all, but he’s human– anyone in his position, good-hearted or bad, would find themselves both acting like their abuser and seeking ways to keep their abuser happy.
Can’t wait to see if Mommy Monster hears about these events. If she doesn’t, that will be interesting… and if she does, I want to know if she’s the sort of person who would praise him (maybe for the first honest time) for getting into fights against all the gay people. Or maybe she’d ridicule him for “losing” those fights, if she heard that bit as well.
My mother is Steeped in her religion and convinced that homosexuality is evil. She tells me she has gay friends, but she thinks they’re possessed by a spirit of perversion and need to get to church to be freed. I went through school feeling attraction to both genders and hating myself for it. I thought I was being attacked by the devil and kept praying for protection from the attacks. I know so well how hard it is to get past all of the shit parents teach, though I don’t have the background with being abused, which would make it worse. I finally got over it and moved on with my own life, and I’m sure Jaimie will too.
If your mother is convinced homosexuality is evil, and it led to you thinking you were being attacked by the devil, you HAVE been abused.
I think Rendia meant the sexual abuse, although good point and I agree.
I wouldn’t say it was abuse. She never taught me to hate other people, she taught that God loved them and that He loves me too, but that He hated the sin. Yes, it certainly caused mental anguish, but religion was my mom’s way of dealing with the fact that she WAS abused, and by her own father, no less. He made her feel like the other woman to her own mother, and her mother did nothing to stop it.
She did leave me feeling like homosexuality was a damnable offense though, which took years to get over. It took even longer to convince myself that I was not evil and accept the fact that I am bisexual.
Go, Jamie!! Too bad you’re about to get your second punch of the day, but look on the bright side! CHARLIE!!!
