Half Sisters - Episode 41
Added 2023-11-19 06:25:35 +0000 UTCSandy and Josh begin trying to figure out who they are - to each other and themselves.
Episode 41 of Half Sisters has arrived! Gosh, we're getting closer and closer to 50! Yay!
Sandy (or is it Scott again?) is finally free from Mrs. Ferris - permanently, if she so chooses. But freedom has its own struggles...
Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
EDIT: Sorry, the page order was messed up on the first upload. 🤦🏻♀️

Aaaa, thank you very much, Nina! Poor Josh is getting whiplash from Sandy for sure. But I think she's eager to a return of the easy, eager acceptance that Josh had to "Sandy" - maybe because it'll help her accept herself, as well. 💖

2023-12-04 17:52:47 +0000 UTCoh no, i can’t see him reacting to this calmly :(, hopefully sandy deals with it ok! also absolute top tier structuring emory!! you kill it with the paneling, storytelling, and art every time!!!
Nina
2023-12-02 08:25:20 +0000 UTCThank you very much, Sara!!! 💕 And LOL at the pun. Hehe. Sandy is definitely seemingly more accepting of her new feminine life than Nikki - but that doesn't mean making the transition will be an easy one for her. There's still lots of emotions bouncing around...
Emory Ahlberg
2023-11-30 22:12:30 +0000 UTCThank you! Yeah, Josh is having trouble understanding why "Scott" isn't screaming his head off about going to a doctor to getting as much reversed as possible. What Josh saw about Second Dawn disgusted him. Not because he isn't attracted to trans girls (he obviously is), but because those were men being forced into bodies they didn't want. He explicitly asked Sandy if where was a girl. She said no, and now that's stuck in his head. They both need to work on their feelings.

2023-11-30 22:11:01 +0000 UTCJosh hasn't let us down yet! 🤞

2023-11-30 22:06:06 +0000 UTCYay Em this is by far my fave story ever. I am loving the gay angle, I really want these two to get it on like crazy, I hope Josh can accept his attraction to a sissy and that Scott can accept his role as one. This is delicious! Looking forward to the development of Nick’s arc as well. It’s very cool to have a story that explores the homoerotic element more explicitly, super hot and deep. Pun intended. Keep up the consistently brilliant work! Xx

2023-11-23 21:04:30 +0000 UTCironically, Sandy is NOT a product of second dawn, but of Mrs Ferris. She was never on Xu's island. Unlike Nick, a macho athlete on his was to he-manly glory, Josh could very well have been on his way to life as a prison bitch. Her(?) physical and emotional relationship with Josh developed naturally while they were living together as friends. After their second kidnapping and more lifestyle/body changes ,(s)he was released to return to what seemed like a more "normal" lifestyle and relationship to her. It is different to Josh now that he is aware of second dawn. josh sees sandy as a victim of SD, a friend forced into something they didn't want. Sandys feeling for him are real, I think. I am not sure Josh knows what he thinks or feels at this point, but he now sees Sandy as a victim. Her attempt to return to a simpler time is probably poorly timed but very understandable. fine writing!

2023-11-21 17:49:14 +0000 UTCShe looks so good in that little skirt 😂
Emory Ahlberg
2023-11-21 17:48:56 +0000 UTCYep! Sandy is trying to get Josh to see her as she is now - not as the person she was forced to become - but she also wants him to be attracted to her (which he was / is) even if she was forced into this new form.
Emory Ahlberg
2023-11-21 17:48:37 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Robert! I'm glad you're enjoying it. 😊 Sandy has been through a lot and is still trying to make sense of her new identity. She's trying to get Josh to see that she's still the same PERSON that he was starting to fall for - even if what happened to her body isn't what she would've chosen. And you're absolutely right about Josh, too. With Sandy, he goes into protective mode - but sometimes that can make him a bit reckless. And his emotions about her are currently scrambled, so that doesn't help either.
Emory Ahlberg
2023-11-21 17:47:03 +0000 UTCI think we should cut Josh a little slack. It's hard to wrap your brain around the idea that there's a secret cabal of wealthy men and women who are kidnapping young men and turning them into women. He's never really been a fan of the law and he probably wouldn't expose himself if he wasn't concerned that Sandy was in danger. He's also feeling a little bit betrayed by Sandy. So there are lots of emotions in play here. Let's just hope he can keep his head down and stay out of trouble!

2023-11-21 17:40:20 +0000 UTCThank you, Gemma! Sandy flew to Boston with the intention of reuniting with Josh and then - you know - REALLY reuniting with Josh. She's hoping to salvage their (albeit brief) fling, praying this little stunt may erase from Josh's mind the fact that she was forced into being a girl. I mean, looking at her in that maid costume, what red-blooded man (or lesbian) could resist? 😉 Plus... PIZZA!

2023-11-21 17:40:08 +0000 UTCI feel like we've been here before LoL x

2023-11-20 14:34:23 +0000 UTCWhen Sandy accused Josh of being a Boy Scout, that’s exactly what he becomes when he’s dealing with the Sandy rather than Scott persona: very protective. And it makes him lose his street smarts so that Sandy comes to the rescue of both of them. She’s the one who’s lived through all the horrors and survived, after all. And she recognises that survival means not taking on Second Dawn, but escaping their reach if at all possible, and that she has to teach Josh that lesson. As for the French maid outfit, while on the surface she sees it as a light-hearted bit of fun, what she says in the last frame betrays what’s been subliminally going on ever since she came back into Josh’s orbit. But playing with fire? Absolutely. Great piece of plot with art to match, Emory. xx

2023-11-20 04:47:57 +0000 UTCI can't believe, my dearest muse that Josh could be so reckless. Does he really not understand how much blood he'll have on his hands if he blows the whistle on the Second Dawn...or Janelle, Emily and Mr.. Morosini for that matter? I really fear Xu wasn't bluffing when he threatened Jill or if he was, he's an Oscar winner for sure. Knowing Xu and especially the equally loathsome Mr. Davis, one of them must've told Janelle/Jason to keep quiet or else and I fear Janelle cares only for Holly.

Gemma
2023-11-20 01:12:01 +0000 UTCOMG, Sandy, how did you misread the situation. What an mis step wearing the maids outfit. I see how you have prepared and protected us all from Josh’s reaction. A slow and steady accidental glimpses and reveals. Would be the way to go. I was pleased, however, for Nick to get a mentioned and I love the description of Nick as ‘ a delicate thing.’ Can’t wait for Nicks next appearance. Also have knot in my stomach in anticipation for next episode and interactions between Sandy and Josh. I am beginning to learn not to prepare for the unpredictable. Thanks Emory again for another exciting set up to the next chapter.
Gemma
2023-11-20 01:10:52 +0000 UTCMe too, Emily. Right now they're both confused - but Josh more than Sandy, I think. He can't wrap his head around the idea that she was forced into being a girl...but is also kind of leaning into it now.
Emory Ahlberg
2023-11-19 18:52:51 +0000 UTCAw, poor Josh! He's such a good egg. Wait, I mean... 😉
Emory Ahlberg
2023-11-19 18:43:04 +0000 UTCMaggie, your passion for Sandy's well-being is fierce! I love it! And don't worry, Josh's heart is in the right place even if his brain sometimes lags behind. No need to go full Tron on him... yet. 😉 Thank you for the compliments!!!

Emory Ahlberg
2023-11-19 18:21:48 +0000 UTCIt's not like Josh was hiding his uncomfortableness with the whole situation. Hitting him with the outfit is really asking for trouble. Sometimes an incremental approach is better - a clean apt, nice food and leave it at that for now.

2023-11-19 14:47:52 +0000 UTCHope they find themselves and their relationship… but I have to say I’m team Jessica! 😊

2023-11-19 14:07:28 +0000 UTC"BRILLIANT IDEA... AND THEN IT, BACKFIRES SPECTACULARLY" that doesn't sound good... Oh Sandy... I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT... Scott if you do something stupid... hurt her physically or mentally I swear I'll find out how to digitalize myself (All hail to Jeff Bridges in TRON) and I'll kick your ass... You're not stupid I strongly believe... You should already noticed that extremely closeted egg is standing in front of you... if she wasn't trans she would share same thoughts about all this with you... THINK Scott, THINK!!! [EDIT] Don't be a dumbass... or... I'll find you and... Better for you then if Sandy is bi... :} Emory... you have arranged the sequence of ones and zeros in such a way that I have long forgotten that they are "only" ones and zeros... for me they live in your brilliant head ;) ❣️❣️❣️❣️

2023-11-19 12:24:39 +0000 UTCSandy I understand where you're coming from but doing THIS, RIGHT NOW, is a supremely bad idea, sorry. (Girl is really earning her "dumbass egg" gold star, isn't she?)

2023-11-19 08:59:13 +0000 UTCThis chapter is complicated and interesting. I wonder what their alternate universe counterparts, Joshlyn and Scott, would do?
