awww at poor pantsless barefoot Jon on the street

Still liking this :)

You know, I'm actually more worried about, and for, l!Stephen. I mean, c!Stephen is at least acknowledging, and expressing, his anger over the situation. l!Stephen, not so much. One wonders in what screwed up, sideways way it will come out.

I love the irony of "Stephen" trying to preserve his "modesty".

Oooh, passive aggression coming up soon, yes? This'll be interesting:)

That's always been one of my weirdest hypothetical fears, being stuck outside of the house with no pants on. If I were in heart-boxer-Jon's situation, I'd probably be standing behind those bushes by now.

Speaking of which, I'm really digging the way that c!Stephen is clutching the cover to his chest, like he doesn't want this strange-Jon to see his bare chest in such intimate settings. Though our "Stephen" has flashed the audience his nipples before, so mabe it's just covering what he can after intimacy or just an extra barrier or layer of protection? Actually, I think c!Stephen let that Jon off kind of easy, no pants but a full minute to gtfo to a certain point before he'd shoot. I consider that an improvement, especially considering that "Stephen" has shot before and the stressful situation.

(Sigh) c!Stephen has his sob after he learns that his Jon was in on this pre-meditated switch, and that's sad enough, but l!Stephen's hurt is just as glaring, despite those quiet words "Did you really think we wouldn't notice the difference? . . . Oh..." Both the Stephens' reactions are different, but the hurt is the same.

Well... at least both Jons will have a small bit of time to compose themselves before they have to fix their mess. c!Stephen's Jon was treated to a waffle breakfast, so he has some food in his stomach, before he goes home to face his glaringly broken Stephen, who won't be shy in letting him know he's done wrong. And l!Stephen's Jon may be in his boxers (... imagining how he's going to get home is pretty funny, actually,) but at least he'll have a few moments to get some pants on, while his Stephen represses his emotions, before they come out.

If this comic weren't so cute and humorous at the bottom of it all, I'd be more worried. :)

I can't believe how blasé l!Stephen is. I didn't think that he'd burst like c!Stephen did but at least show some disappointment. I wonder how it will eventually come out.

Jon's boxers are adorable and, no, I don't feel sorry whatsoever for him.

[sarcasticsra]

I'm worried about l!Stephen too. c!Stephen, however, can rock the fuck on.

(He's in my head, utterly bewildered by the idea that I would ever say that to him. "Something's wrong here! You never agree with me! Usually you sic the scary woman with the gun on me!" he says.

"Isabella likes Jon and Brian too much to actually hurt you and you know it. Besides, we both hate Maureen Dowd," I reply.

"...true enough."

Yes, I have head conversations with fictional characters. DO NOT JUDGE ME.)

...anyway, MOAR is needed. I can't wait for the Jons to get their much-needed smacks upside the heads about WHY this was so BLINDINGLY STUPID.

I was going to comment on the art here, since I commented on the story on DA, but I'm still too angry at the Jons DX Also, nelleellen called it! ::waits impatiently for next::

Aw man, I really wanna hug hippie Stephen. He looks all...broken. And that's not cool. D:

[canadian-plant.livejournal.com]

I love how, despite the fact that you have c!"Stephen" wielding Sweetness, it's l!"Stephen"'s reaction that's really on centre stage here. He really does have just as many issues as c!"STephen", doesn't he?

[southerngaelic.livejournal.com]

....I sense a timebomb waiting to go off in Hippie!Stephen. D:

But really, Jons? What did you think would happen? xP

[shoebox_addict]

Aww! Poor Jon!! ;__; Still loving it!

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN ON THIS ONE

FDKJDFK C!STEPHEN I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT HIM DDDD: HE'S NAKED AND ALONE AND SCARED AND HE JUST WANTS HIS JON BACK BUT EVEN IF HE DOES GET HIM HE'S BETRAYED AND FDJKFHDJKG WHO IS GOING TO TUCK HIM IN AND MAKE HIM SOUP AND HOLD HIM TIGHT

ALTHOUGH I MUST SAY ALSO L!STEPHEN IS JUST FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE, SO COMPLETELY CRUSHED AND DDJKFDS

HOW IS THIS GOING TO BE OKAY IN THE END I'M ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT

WELL DONE MISS THING WELL DONE DDD:



lol also i must there is so much retroactive danger in that stephen/stephen bit i mean HIS NAME IS HIS SAFEWORD THAT'S AN UNSAFE SITUATUION TO BE IN WHEN YOU'RE HAVING SEX WITH YOURSELF idk idk i don't think any of these people make very good life choices

[gaiafaye.livejournal.com]

C!Stephen is so obviously emotionally bludgeoned that his Jon would betray his trust like that. :( (And I'm sure eventually we'll see l!Stephen is bludgeoned as well.) These Jons suck. It's going to take forever for them to build that trust again.

[zekris.livejournal.com]

I like how much juxtaposition there is in this story. Like between l!Stephen c!Stephen and that nifty split-screen look you've been doing. (I really love stylistic effects like that, and the extreme contrast it shows really helps lend more humor into the situation than if you just took each half of the comic and looked at it alone.)

And there's the juxtaposition between how adorable the drawings are compared to the complex issues/consequences of what those adorable drawings are doing. (It's so cute! But you just get a continual sense of impending doom because the Jons didn't take the Stephens individual needs into consideration and you just know that pretty soon c!Stephen's going to be suffering from his suddenly worse and now-justified trust issues, and l!Stephen's going to...what is l!Stephen's reaction going to be? He seems so accomodating, he just has to be boiling over on the inside...)

Anyways, tl;dr. Basically, I love contrast. And essay writing, apparently. Oh, and this comic/story thing! Gonna stop rambling now...but really, I'm loving this.
