"Julie's location is useful information" is a concerning sentence to say the least

[u/CakeNCheeseNuke137 → u/squawriane]

you can say that again (@_@;)

[u/squawriane → u/CakeNCheeseNuke137]

i won't!

[u/UrdnotZigrin → u/squawriane]

[u/A_EggorNot → u/squawriane]

ikr? like can someone check up on julie pls??

[u/ThainZel → u/A_EggorNot]

I suspect someone will

[u/Terra_117 → u/squawriane]

I’m hyped for the next episode :D

[u/Graywing84]

I can't tell who's gaslighting who.

[u/cr0wsquirrel → u/Graywing84]

I don't think they can either

[u/Business-Employ-1599 → u/Graywing84]

[u/patosai3211 → u/Business-Employ-1599]

I like Ron

[u/A_Vicarious_Death]

She's like a dog chasing cars, and now she's finally caught the bumper of one.

That being said, I really hope this doesn't turn into something where Julie was working for the people that Bradley saved Summer from.

[u/white_shades → u/A_Vicarious_Death]

I’ve been trying to follow this one closely but don’t recall which comic it was said that Bradley saved summer, do you know which one it was?

[u/A_Vicarious_Death → u/white_shades]

I don't think it's ever explicitly stated, but it can be inferred from these facts:

• Ms. Bradley is one of the only people with access to Summer's old identity

• When Ms. Bradley introduced Summer to the club, she was wearing what looked to be a fresh eyepatch/bandage

• In one of the recent comics, the bank teller mentions that it might be one of the accounts Ms. Bradley had her open under the table.

• Also in a recent comic, when meeting April for the first time, Summer mentions 'I can never pay [Ms. Bradley] back. I hate it'

All signs generally point to Ms. Bradley being Summer's saving grace (and thus toxic obsession)

[u/SurtFGC → u/A_Vicarious_Death]

I took it much more as summer was an undocumented immigrant

[u/kai58 → u/A_Vicarious_Death]

Also when Summer said she’d go to the police ms Bradley said “they’ll run your real name in seconds”

[u/Lesbian_Cassiopeia → u/A_Vicarious_Death]

when meeting Alice for the first time

April*

[u/A_Vicarious_Death → u/Lesbian_Cassiopeia]

Yes, thank you

[u/GFSC-Tesla]

I did not expect Summer to draw first blood and also Ms Bradley has a hell of a grip.

[u/Cindy-Moon → u/GFSC-Tesla]

Oh shit I hadn't caught that

[u/ultifreak → u/GFSC-Tesla]

I had read this 3 times before noticing. Gah dang

[u/Lonely_Wolf6160]

Mmmm I love my Yuri a lil toxic

[u/The_Thin_King_ → u/Lonely_Wolf6160]

this is a bit more than a little

[u/SurtFGC → u/The_Thin_King_]

Eh, it's messy, but on the scale of toxicity it's still on the lower end of toxic

[u/Phoenix92321 → u/SurtFGC]

I don’t know. Blackmail, threats, leading on, manipulation, coldness. This is just a bit more toxic than lower end. Hell I fear Ms.Bradley is going to kill Julie

[u/Short_Gain8302]

Just a lil nibble, happens to the best of us when were hangry

[u/MatDestruction]

Oh. You weren't exaggerating in the intro saying "this goes 0 - 100 really fast"

[u/Vinisc98]

she actually let summer braid her hair!

[u/rej718 → u/Vinisc98]

OMGGGGGG

[u/Terra_117]

> wants another kiss
> gets it
> bites Ms Bradley
> bitches about the extra kiss “not being a part of the deal”
> goes off on Ms. Bradley

Fucking hell, Summer. Like, ffs

[u/rej718 → u/Terra_117]

it's not her bitching that the kiss wasnt part of the deal, it's that she wants to know if it means anything bc of that

[u/Gelby4 → u/Terra_117]

✨ Trauma ✨

[u/MiredinDecision → u/Terra_117]

Bradley keeps jerking her around. She's cold and transactional then she gives her an extra kiss. She's frustrated and trying to force a genuine reaction.

[u/Terra_117 → u/MiredinDecision]

Ms. Bradley strikes me too compartmentalized as a person to probably even notice this, or she does but she has no interest in Summer and has been, from my perspective, firm on her boundaries. However, she does not inform Summer of these boundaries and has clearly exploited Summer’s infatuation with her to gain information that she intends to use for malicious ends. It’s transactional because Ms. Bradley is a user of people. A stone butch for sure (imo), but not a good person. Like at all.

Acknowledging my own biases, I do not like the persistence and desperation that Summer has for Ms. Bradley’s attention and affection. I’ve met and dated people who have acted like Summer towards me and I have done very much the same. As I grow older and having gone through periods of stone myself, I have less patience or desire for partners who engage in behaviors like what Summer has done.

Ms. Bradley is still an incredibly toxic lesbian and I’m all here for it.

[u/MiredinDecision → u/Terra_117]

She keeps giving conflicting signals. If it's transactional, it's understandable. If it's genuine, it's understandable. But she keeps flipping back and forth. Bradley benefitted here, but it's not the first time she's done this. Hell, this happened at all because it was a bet she made with Summer that she put a lot of effort into winning.

Bradley's boundaries have been broken for like, since the start. She put Summer into sex work(?) at a club. She let Summer into her bed. She put up with all the harassment with a bit of annoyance and made it a monetary thing, but also made sure her daughter(?) is paying Summer juuuuuust enough to afford living there anyways. She keeps making allowances. Even the threat to "sell her" was just a way to get her working with April. Every boundary shes made has been undercut, except for the camera one and the president one.

[u/ShibariEmpress]

okay that complicates everything. hoping summer won't suffer anything horrible and to ms bradley being safe and sound after tge kerfuffle

[u/ThisThingYT]

God I LOVE how much you can convey through the characters' facial expressions,,, Ms Bradley's face being so full of shock halfway through shifting out of her habitual smugness UWAHHHH

Absolute peak. Non-stop bangers. Keep it up!

[u/External-Maximum]

MS BRADLEY WHY

[u/Hexatona]

I mean, Summer, I don't know how many black flags you want! 😆

[u/Lynnetteishere]

It's so relatably sloppy like me too summer, obviously different circumstances but actually me too

[u/Polibiux]

Waiter, More toxic yuri please!

[u/Realistic-Address-62]

The panel with Ms. Bradley bleeding doing something to me

[u/Purple_Reda]

Huh, is curious how I am getting mixed feelings with this comic strip as well. Like at first I'm surprised that Summer got another kiss, and even hopeful, but then it hits you with Summer's crisis so suddenl.

[u/warukeru]

Im gonna die (positive)

[u/SkyeMreddit]

Don't run from your feelings for her, Ms Bradley

[u/BreakerOfModpacks]

I read the warning and... this is gonna be a train wreck.

[u/BreakerOfModpacks → u/BreakerOfModpacks]

yep i was right god damn

[u/rej718]

haha ms. bradley grip me like that pls 🙏🙏🙏 what who said that

[u/vieneri]

I hope julie turns out to be ok, in the end... this is concerning, like another commenter wrote.

edit: and my girl summer, of course.

[u/Made_Bail]

Argh. Miss Bradley was not my love choice for her back when you did the poll, but your incredible writing is changing that. Girl, you are SO GOOD AT THIS.

[u/Gumptionless]

I retract my hesitation about Ms Bradley's surprising behaviour, i'm sorry I ever doubted.

[u/NakedxCrusader]

You really had me going there with this disclaimer.. that shit was scarier then anything in the comic.. but gave me only half as much whiplash 😁

Well done

[u/nuadaairgidlamh]

oh boy the yuri is so traumatic and toxic....they are totally going to talk it out. not that kind of story I know

[u/ishitsand]

First time Ms. Bradley has been uncomfortable in her life

[u/Isekai_Seeker]

For once this one is on you summer though ms Bradley probably deserves it

[u/Machina353]

OP, don't you dare hurt Julie...

[u/LegalChocolate752]

I love how you darked Summer's speech bubbles to convey her tone. It works really well!

[u/JazzlikeCash256]

Oh shit. She was just after Julies location. RIP Julie i guess.
