BTW I know you are reading a little ahead, so I gotta note that chapter 24 is a real important but dark one and prepare for it, but also Alyson has made a playlist for the mood if you want it music.youtube.com/playlist?lis... or open.spotify.com/playlist/4Cr...
Also Aaron is the most loveable little piece of shit ever.
Oh thanks! I knew there was some upcoming chapter with a playlist. I'm assuming that one I'll want to read in one sitting as a first pass, so I'll carve out some time when I get to it.
a common recommendation is to read 24 and 25 in one sitting (as the latter is like a soothing balm), but I think you’re gonna manage 💛
Should I read both for 1 wombo post do you think or is SOP fine?
I think it’s gonna be fine, 24 is just a real downer of a chapter (though all’s well that ends well)
Yeah. It’s basically a very raw depiction of adolescent gender dysphoria. For trans women, reading it can be very tough. Cis people may have an easier time. 25 has some comic relief, and also sets the tone for much of what is to come.
I think Chapter 24 probably would deserve its own post I don't know how LONG it'd be tbh. It might either be the shortest post or the longest one Chapter 24 almost feels like a standalone short story. You could probably turn it into one by editing a few scenes from other chapters into it
yeah i tried thinking of the length and came to the conclusion that i just don’t know i’d bet on short more than long
like, idk if there’s much to say on it from a cis perspective but our Dude have surprised me *a lot* already
genuine compliments, I don’t think I ever seen a cis person be so receptive and so reflective of trans issues and how they may map onto a cishet experience, and your blog is genuinely far more interesting than the joke it originated from
Let's put it this way: if I were given a budget to adapt a Sisters of Dorley movie, I might literally JUST film Chapter 24 and almost nothing else. I think it deserves attention.
