Excellent panel! Shows the depth of both characters & I can hardly wait to see where they go from here. Funny seeing the comments on the main site. Mix in some emotionally mature concepts along with love from a maternal figure and there is a instant retard party. Compassion to all of them. I hope they get to see better.

And this is why Vizlet is "Matriarch" not "Queen". She is a mother to her people before she is a ruler over them.

Vizlet hugs must be nice.

I'm a male, and I approve of this message.

"THESE THINGS RIGHT HERE, I DON'T HAVE THESE"
Val Salia
lol both of those things are true

Emotional coping strategies aside... I think your full-throated dismissal of your own breasts kind of gave it away.

This is so good. Vizlet is so good at peoples. Kass is so bad at Kasses. I hope for a brighter future.

THE MERCHANT TRAINING WAS THE MOST TRAUMATIC

To be fair yinglet hugs feel kinda odd with those skinny pole arms
Val Salia
Now with even more efficient not-dealing-with-it protocols!!
Val Salia
Nawwww, certainly not!! >: D
Val Salia
"Gee thanks Viz"

Animated!!!

It's hard to go wrong with hugs!
Val Salia
Haha yeah I noticed that when I woke up, edited
Val Salia
Yinglets are just full of faces!
Val Salia

Val Salia
Or in Kass' current state, like a bitch
Val Salia
DON'T HUG
Val Salia
That stuff sells at premium prices!
Val Salia
Yeah I noticed that when I woke up this morning! Edit'd
Val Salia
Viz is a professional mom.
Val Salia
THAT'S NOT ALLOWED IN HERE

The term for when you combine the two is Bluntigant

"Hey wait how do you hug with these arms"
Val Salia
Going through shit is a species-inclusive experience!
Val Salia
Thanks a lot, I do my best to write 'em! Also the wheels in Kass' mind are now whels
Val Salia
If I'd have gone to sleep at a reasonable time instead of stayed up to finish the page, it woulda been a mid afternoon cry!
Val Salia
And she's got nice earrings!
Val Salia
Koor pass.

You can get one. In daki form.

Chipping away at those defenses, little by little. Still I think Vizlet should be trying to get Kass to talk a little more about himself. Like his time in war, or when he was human, or when he was a training to be a merchant.

A hug given….and a hug returned. Very nice.

Not sure if it was intentional but the change to the eye highlight makes it appear as if the eye is suddenly glassier. As if it were hinting at what is about to happen.

Panel 4 Kass is a permanent mood
Little Napoleon
Ok, you've set a precedent now-- the next page had better be 10 more frames of the same hug >:D

I get where both of them are coming from. I've been in both positions. Trying to help someone who was stubbornly refusing emotional support. Also someone who it just wasn't the time that I wanted or needed someone trying to be my therapist. Life is complicated and not everyone heals in the same way as everyone else. But as far as I've seen it's never been a bad thing to be available to be there for someone for when they do need it.

That sentence in the first panel seems reversed? "...doubted zhat you did not used to be male" should be "...doubted zhat you used to be male". She doubted that Kass used to be male, and that was an error, right? Or am I getting mixed up?
SitriAbyss
Again, excellent work on the facial expressions :)

Ooooh yeah, letting all that shit go is gonna hurt like a bastard

Ay, just get that big ol' bottle, shove any trace of emotion in there and pray it won't burst. With some luck it will simmer down and condense into distilled emotional trauma :)
Matthew Vandiver
I love this. Hugs therapy! FYI, though, first sentence in panel 1 needs a tweak. Would remove "did not" between "you" and "used"
Melangetic
everyone needs a therapy vizlet. EVERYONE.

Vizlet is the best, and oooh boy here come the FEELINGS. I had pretty much this same thing happen to me, and at that moment something inside broke. Probably needed to break, but boy I wasn't alright for a couple minutes. Thankfully, they just held on to me until I was able to piece myself back together. You never cease to amaze Val, thank you so much for creating this wonderful comic and these adorable stilt rats.
Ngrasta
I'mma cry. ;w;
Courtney Rayle
I think the sentiment, “shush and accept that there is someone out there that just wants you to not hurt this much” is very powerful. And sadly, very relatable. Thank you, Valsalia, for being both so blunt and so elegant.
Avi (yinglet)
There's a journey in Kass's faces here, it might only be a few steps but these were clearly hard ones to take
SimplyRen
...I can only hope that he listens to Viz. He *really* needs some help on the path towards healing, and I have an inkling that Viz has gone through some shit herself, along with Feeena.
Rebecca
You can just see the wheels furiously spinning in Kassen's mind, as he struggles to digest what just happened XD For all their head-butting and disagreements, it is nice to see an attempt at really understanding each other <3 (The depth of your characters never fails to amaze, btw! )

I was not excepting to cry this early in the morning, but I am so here for it.
Falloutgamer347
I kinda wish i had a friend like Vizlet, she is so sweet to Kass and truly seems to care about her
Maria
Poor Kass :(
