beruca and junip created by glopossum
Description

Hey y'all.♥

It didn't feel completely right to try and end a project of this magnitude without a proper wrap-up. I wanted to at the very least thank you all for reading, and much more for lending me your support over the two years that this comic took to produce. I sincerely believe pursuing it to its completion wouldn't have been possible without your collective help, and as they often do, words fail in fully expressing my gratitude.

On the outset of creating this comic, I was a younger more inexperienced artist who had never made anything more ambitious than two page mini-comics. As I fell into the rhythm of writing & drawing up pages for this project, I not only found the consistency comforting, but saw my skills sharpen over time. In many senses, working on the comic kept me afloat in a period of my life that was rife with uncertainty and rapid-fire self-discovery. Heck, I didn't even consider myself transgender when I started the thing!

This brings me to: Lewis. In a lot of probably obvious ways, I am Lewis. Lewis is in a period of her life where she is starting again from nothing, reassessing things as deep and as foundational as her entire identity. She is taking her life in flux as an opportunity to grow more into herself, and express herself more truthfully. Her experiences and specific avenue toward self-discovery were informed by my own, and it's such a thrill to finally have her narrative come to fruition. Lewis is a transgender woman, and has been conceived as such since the inception of this comic.

For clarity, I'm not intending to say that crossdressing is always a precursor to transness, or that transness is an inevitable eventuality of engaging with the kink (I mean, look at Junip). This was merely a story about finding something profound in sex, and the growth that can come from it. I put so much of my heart, soul, and personal experiences into this work, and I'm proud to call it mine, and to call it finished. Thank you all so much for reading, and I'm so excited to continue writing and drawing new stories for you (after a small break from them, of course)!

PS - Her name is Elise. ♥

    I definitely want to see more, the story was very entertaining and nicely drawn, defiantly deserves a next part.
    and besides, i am areal sob for stories that have some meaning in it and are caring and consensual,
    not just a page 1 bend over, page 2 fuck, page 3 cum and page 4 the end :3

    Wow... I admit, I stopped following this comic a while ago, but I'm so glad I picked it up again, and that was an amazing story of self-discovery and realization. My heart melted for Lewis... I mean, Elise, when the realization dawned on her. I'd love to see a sequel to this comic with Elise coming out to Junip, and thanking him that that night helped her to see who she really was. And then, maybe a gratitude fuck ;).

    All-in-all, great story, and I loved every page. Can't wait to see what else you come out with.

    Wow, I never expected it to turn out like this!

    ...Now I'm wishing I practice presenting female before I came out as trans. (Edit: I came out as nonbinary though.) (I still want to feel "good enough" for lesbian sex, though. Even though I'm on the asexual spectrum. I think.) (uuuuuuugh it's been 5 years how have I not figured this out yet? My unti says I'm genderfluid and I think that makes sense?)

    Such a tragic story… poor Lewis died in that bedroom.

    Joking aside, this comic made me feel amazing after a pretty bad day, and I’m really happy for Her. Happy that friends like Junip can exist, happy that people can help each other find their true selves, happy for all these pure moments of human camaraderie. Well. Human might not be the right word here.

    I mean, cross-dressing and roleplaying characters of the other gender on FurryMUCK isn't always a precursor to figuring out that you're trans.
    But it sure happens a lot, doesn't it? :p
