I am so sorry for the trauma that you endured. I went through the same thing, It’s something I wouldn’t wish on my enemy.
Her getting bored isn’t a statement about you, but a consequence she had to deal with. Hope you’re doing okay
Huh, this is not what I expected but really interesting. We kind of always assume that attractive people are comfortable and neatly fit into being attractive but don´t think what kind of a shock to the system and how confusing all of the attention can be if you are not used to it. Nice to see her get some more depth!
What an arc. I really appreciate how much honesty there is in all of the characters and the way it helps them work through their problems. I love that Sarah’s the affectionate one, that she knows what she wants and that she’s clear about how much it means to her. Beautiful.
See “Kodomo no Jikan” for a similar story told in a much less breezy and whimsical way. XD
Or don’t. It’s really good in many ways, but a very uncomfortable read.
Now I’m honing in on, “Noah is mostly/basically Asexual, but doesn’t want to tell his family because with Tara being openly lesbian he feels like the expectation is on him to have the grandkids.” AKA, the Reverse Picard. It’s in the DSM5, look it up!
Okay lemme see here uuuuhhhh early life trauma and stress uuuuuhhhhhh plus severe pubescent sexual pressure equals uuuuuuhhhh an extremely maladapted individual that struggles with interpersonal relationships?
That’s actually really sweet.
Like I saw some people saying ‘this is romantic’ but that’s not necessarily what this is about.
This is about finding a soul mate. Someone who you can really be yourself around. Someone you can be comfortable to be yourself around.
And a soul mate doesn’t have to be a romantic thing. It can be a platonic thing.

This is exactly me and my girlfriend. This is incredible rep of the ace experience with allo (sexual) partners. You did a great job!

I’ve this exact relationship with this exact story. Eventually she got bored and fell back into her old ways

I was not ready. Emotional growth? From a silly girl on girl webcomic?
It’s more likely than you think
FappingAce
That’s kinda sweet, she gets to be her most authentic self that she thought she lost, and it’s all because of him
Annelise
Huh, the three people with heart eyes are all girls ? Does Sarah know that lesbians find her attractive ?
VL
Hm. Maybe boys are horny towards her but girls feel _love_ 🙂

An unusual path to the heartwarming “aww” moment, but not an unusual situation for a big-boobed person to be in, growing up.
ValdVin
Not unusual for webcomic backstories either. See Carol Graves from Between Failures.
Michael Steamweed
I did not know of that webcomic. I shall give it a slightly-binge read today!
ValdVin
As with everything YMMV but I give it my personal endorsement.
Unartiggeist
I like these two idiots a lot. :3

It can be distressing when people only want what they think they can get based on appearance. Instead of finding the “you” buried inside :{
Satyr
Did…. did Sarah just give me the warm fuzzies after a sad backstory?
Mk
There is no one formula for romance

No, no that adds up perfectly, actually.

I did not see such a back story from Sarah.

This is giving Jennifer’s Body vibes in terms of the lore

Once again, such good writing. This comic only gets better with every passing chapter.

It actually took me until just now to understand that the short haired semi crazy girl from way back when was actually Sarah

Short-haired Sarah made me think of susu_jpg.
