Added 2023-08-11 03:39:30 +0000 UTCI hope that Elianna doesn't just come off as "dumb" in those middle panels, as that's not my intent. What I'm going for is someone who has a goal but is sort of stuck in a holding pattern, as they've already tried everything they're willing to do. Everything they're willing to do without a little push, anyway.

Forget the middle panels (and she didn't). She's beautifilul in the bottom left panel. Might be the best portrait of her so far. Excellent work.

2023-08-18 05:39:35 +0000 UTCI'm sure Elianna would be glad to know she has some support! :)

2023-08-13 22:33:56 +0000 UTCHe didn't care for Derek's direct approach was all. XD
Reinbach
2023-08-13 22:33:48 +0000 UTCWasn't intentional on my part but I can go with it. XD
Reinbach
2023-08-13 22:33:27 +0000 UTCI suppose it's only an escalation in the sense that advertising for strip clubs on school grounds is a new wrinkle in the perversion. XD

Reinbach
2023-08-13 22:32:10 +0000 UTCIt was meant to be a throwaway gag, but now that you guys mention it, it would be funny if I can work in some way that this comes back to bite him later. XD

2023-08-13 22:31:51 +0000 UTCWithout blowing too much I can say that I wouldn't "corrupt" Elianna, at least not in the sense that usually implies in porn. Fun fact: early on, I had an idea to reveal that while Elianna was a anti-lewd at school, she was just as perverse as her family at home. I scrapped it because I realized that Ellie's character has to be genuine in her beliefs, and I aim to keep her that way.
Reinbach
2023-08-13 22:30:46 +0000 UTCSometimes, it would seem! XD
Reinbach
2023-08-13 22:27:46 +0000 UTCGreat! Glad to hear it's more or less landing as intended. :)
Reinbach
2023-08-13 22:27:09 +0000 UTCWell on my end I figured he just wouldn't appreciate Derek putting Ellie publicly on the spot like that. XD
Reinbach
2023-08-13 22:26:43 +0000 UTCHe seems well-liked at school. News getting out, and an outpouring of sympathy, may force him to prolong that fiction.

2023-08-13 21:57:23 +0000 UTCIt's an intriguing question. I presume the next strip will be revelatory.

2023-08-12 16:48:35 +0000 UTCHonestly? I cant Wait to see how this plays out. I think Elianna will be happier when she comes out of her shell a little. But maybe it would help to have a little more Elianna in the world? I mean yes, porn world. I get it. But sex aside (I can't believe I'm saying this) there's clearly instability in this little suburb that a little Less Sex might help with.

2023-08-12 16:46:48 +0000 UTCOh dear God this just got interesting. She's either going to kill him or have the craziest night of her life.
Slaughterbug
2023-08-11 15:31:02 +0000 UTCThe point she was making in her speech was basically, βyou can do all this lewd shit. Just please not at our school.β So nice thinking Derrick. This will be at a strip club, not school.
Lord Washington
2023-08-11 14:39:11 +0000 UTCIm confused why Kayden looks mad. Derrick got all 3 of them to go to a strip club. The dreamsome has never been closer.
Jon
2023-08-11 10:51:02 +0000 UTCSeems to me that Derek's look is subtly morphing into a "Shojo love interest hero" look since he started hanging out with the weeb? specially on the second to last panel he is in.
Graci
2023-08-11 07:09:57 +0000 UTCI agree, but I don't think she'll be corrupted here. I mean, Elianna's bound and determined in her crusade. Her resolve's been tested before and she's persevered. We're certainly in for an interesting scene, I'd wager some good back-and-forth between her and Derek, maybe an adjustment to her perspective on the issues, but I doubt we're in for another Bria situation in terms of character change.

2023-08-11 06:43:16 +0000 UTCGiven they're only promising to strip and not planning an orgy, this is arguably a de-escalation. It's hard to tell if Elianna is really much less interested in sex than the TRW norm, or if she's just repressed. This experience could be illuminating for everyone involved.

2023-08-11 05:44:54 +0000 UTCDerek, Derek, Derek... Ellie's superpowers protect you from random pain and death. They don't protect you *from her*.
Squid Hills
2023-08-11 05:22:40 +0000 UTCBecause if Ellie goes to the club, she might find out Kayden is a regular customer there (I assume)? The boy does lead a double life as far as his relationship with Ellie is concerned...

2023-08-11 05:07:02 +0000 UTCOoh, didnβt notice that till you mentioned it. Good question!

2023-08-11 04:32:01 +0000 UTCI really don't want Eli to be corrupted. She's a sweet girl on the inside she's just surrounded by weirdos. Mostly her own family.

2023-08-11 03:51:29 +0000 UTCElianna definitely doesn't come across as dumb. Personally I read it as more single mindedly focused on her goal to her own detriment. With their well rehearsed back and forth showing how pointlessly routine her efforts have gotten. So I'd say you hit your mark pretty well even if my interpretation was a touch different from your intentions. Oh and obviously the direction this is heading in is a delight.
