lol, im with charlie – no you cant look it will ruin the sexy :P
Charlie is adorable I’d love to be friends with a sweetiepie like her.
And there’s so much sass out of Jamie :P
Something about Jamie in this side story in particular really reminds me of Anwar. This page’s last panel and page 3 where he says “…also for hot reasons. Reasons involving hot stuff.” I’m not sure why, but those things make me think of Anwar.
I was thinking of Anwar too, but in the way that Jamie doesn’t really seem to be too into the smexy stuff :O
Wat.
Jamie’s the one who wanted to be tied up and stuff.
Jamie seemed extremely interested in having sex, even after the “tea break”. :)
Yeah the interest in sex part wasn’t what reminds me of Anwar. I’m not sure I can really exactly explain what I meant- it was just his expression/body language in this panel and his actual language (what he said) on the other page.
I thought the same while reading this page! Jamie reminds me of Anwar, especially in the last panel. Something about the hands, I guess.
Glad I’m not the only one who worries that messiness might disrupt the mood. :)
I don’t get what the buzzies are doing. :T
I think Charlie is struggling to turn them off because of their hands trembling.
(HER hands trembling)
I wasn’t being non gender specific on purpose, sorry if it seemed like I was. “their” isn’t just for non binary people, you can use it at any time.
English is a pretty inconvenient language sometimes, ain’t it? :)
It can make using pronouns difficult when it is used as an attributive adjective before a noun and a gender-neutral indefinite third person singular antecedent in the same sentence.
Simple example: “JD asked Anwar to put their leftovers in the fridge.”
So, were the leftovers JD’s or both JD and Anwar’s food? Tricky.
It’s true that they/their can be used for anyone in English (though to be honest, a lot of writers debate that because a singular “they” is a “thing of the past” supposedly…I don’t buy it). However, respecting pronouns is still a very important thing whether or not being able to use “they” gives someone an “easy out.” Basically in my opinion they/their should be used as a singular pronoun when: 1) someone specifically prefers those pronouns 2) the pronouns of the person being referred to are unknown 3) you are talking about a singular but non-specific entity (so instead of saying the binary “he or she”). Charlie goes by she/her so it is typically considered most respectful to refer to her using those pronouns. And similarly, JD (in Shades of A) goes by they/their so it is most respectful to refer to them by those pronouns.
Good points, seems I didn’t put enough thought into it. Using ‘their’ just avoided having a double H, it sounded strange in my head.
I should have switched to ‘her fingers’ instead and avoided this, live and learn.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who worries about stuff like that. ^^’
Note: my example is not of using the same pronoun twice in the same sentence. It is an example of how the meaning of a pronoun can be uncertain if it could refer equally to two nouns. Wish I could go back and edit my posts. :(
Tell me about it, ha
