ASKS
Giveth TO ME
(tell me to draw)
I think being "not like other girls" is something very in line with TERFs, such as JK Rowling's worst villain being incredibly feminine and Lavender Brown and Cho Chang being villainised for being normal teenage girls in a relationship.
(hot take: Harry Potter was a shit boyfriend to Cho and Ron was a shit boyfriend to Lavender)
But Rusty's brand of "not like other girls" involves her ideology and being in the know. She often portrays other women who aren't butch or radical feminists as "brainwashed" and "victims". It's a very patronising way of viewing women who just don't identify with the TERF view of "good women".
And don't even get me started on queer women who are ace, trans, and many more that don't fit in their LGB label. If it's not a woman they can sexualise or fantasise about, the LB TERF crew will mock and belittle them.
TERFS are surprisingly intolerant of other women, even though they say they aren't.
Talked very briefly about this in the Leasecord server, but the portrayal of Faith has always pegged me as sort of odd considering like...
・She is so sheltered from the idea of men that she doesn't even understand why a man/boy would be in a household
・She hasn't been written, at least not as of yet, to have any friends her own age, not from school or anywhere else, in fact the only interaction she's had at all with another kid is the kid she beat up. All of her friends are the grown adult members of Yonqiue, basically being raised by them
・She's somewhat pushy and clingy and it kind of seems like she doesn't understand boundaries in relations to other girls, especially Jaden, who she has a crush on. While it's completely normal for a young child to have a crush on an adult, it is a tad bit weird how much the other adults around her sort of encourage how clingy she is towards Jaden.
・It's honestly doubtful that she'd likely EVER make friends in a real world scenario, because the way she's being raised is just setting her up for other kids to think she's a bully. She's being raised by incredibly judgemental TERF women who have raised her on the idea that men and being effeminate are completely terrible and a failure of a woman, so she'd basically be the equivalent of a "I'm not like other girls" girl, only at a much earlier age, and much meaner. It's fine for her to be a tomboy/masculine, it's not fine that this'll probably be used as a catalyst for her to bully and harass other girls because that's what she thinks is justice. And even if she were to find some TERF friends who are like her, what are the chances that they'd even tolerate her considering they might just also hate her for being lesbian or black, or even just hate her for being a tomboy since, surprise surprise, being a TERF usually comes packaged with being bigoted and hateful towards... Literally anything else. In fact, Rusty and this comic are the one and only time I've seen TERFs actually advocate for women being more masculine or tomboyish considering every other TERF media I've seen will literally scream that a woman is a man in disguise if she's not walking around built like Jessica Rabbit.
Soooo... TL:DR
Yonique kind of runs like a cult, and I feel incredibly bad for Faith. Let's just hope she never gets unsupervised internet access like most of us did and finds websites like Amino, because I'm sure her grown adult TERF friends and Rusty would never even consider the idea that women can also be child predators.
Getting some real Caleb and Sophia vibes. Can't wait for the TERFs to rip me a new ass for this one.
Hello, I'm Wasim, from Gaza. I'm 20 years old. My family consists of 6 members: my mother, father, 1 sister, and 2 brothers. We were displaced from Rafah to Al-Mawasi in Khan Yunis, under severe bombardment and destruction, without anything, in a small tent that can not accommodate 5 people without the necessities of life.😞💔😭
As was supposed, I was studying at a university in the month of October in which the war broke out, but my university was destroyed, and the universities in the entire sector were destroyed.

WHO ARE YOU?!
The situation is very dangerous. My children’s lives are in danger. Their skin is melting and peeling from diseases. There are no medical points or doctors to treat them. There is no food available for them. Israel is killing us. Please do not help it with that, but rather help me. I have nothing left but my children. After I lost my family, my home, and everything I have, I have no hope left but you. Imagine that you In my place. Please, with a heavy heart, I ask for your support

This ain't even slow burn at this point, this is responsible fire handling 😭
You gotta commend Rusty for never putting a lit candle where a curtain is. And by that I mean wasting time rather than developing her main characters.
We got an entire chapter for a side character who had only a dozen of lines before getting her own chapter. The only mc we know about is Jaden, and Riley is as interesting as a wet paper towel used to clean up the milk I spilt this morning.
Leasebound's main plot is just uninteresting, can't wait for Jaden and Blaire to kiss at the Ballroom and then dance together.
Decided to scourge through the comic a little, and here is a compilation of the few times where there's some actual romantic chemistry that's written between Jaden and Riley.
Yep. You're seeing this right. Only 5. Only 5 actual moments that I have counted between these two who are supposed to get together by the end of this comic that actually consist of romantic chemistry between them. Made somehow kind of worse that 2/5 of these actually consist of Jaden kinda sorta reciprocating feelings, while the rest are just Riley pining and Jaden just being like "so cool bestie :)"
Little drawing i made after getting my ink pens.
He's a fun guy. Not made of mycelium. Ha ha. That was very funny.
