OOPs now has a Russian translation which updates shortly after the English pages are posted!
Now also in French:
And Ukranian:
Damn. I got here quick this time. After I got a neck-pain from the cringe I had of the last page, I’m glad that’s how she took this. Good on her, she needed a good night.
I hate to break it to you but she’s crying in the last pannel.
Damn. I did miss that. Whiplashed as fuck right now.
Right in ze feels agains, ying… O_O
Weird; I woke up today with neck pain after finishing this page last night; there must be a connection.
She is so pure! Guess that’s what a world without internet does to ya.
Yeah, the moment scavs get access to the internet, this world’s done for
O_o Hey! I resemble that remark!
dun you mean rezent?
Yeah, I see Valsalia’s point…
Noooo.. Yings be good for the internet, and without us Valsalia would be best known for that Lifts-her-Tail comic. And likely have starved to death several years ago as a result.
Oh Nooos! Pleassse not to be putting Willl in ze net! I promises not to sets anyzhings on fire… or sings while Ze Matriarch is trying to take ze nappies.
And alsos… *zhrows clams at hoppy-bitey bird-dino zhingy* No starvings todays. Zhanks you!
I dunno, Valsalia being the weird bird/Lizard thingy they might not want clams, but seeing I found a green shiny thing like the one Lopin sold to Kass, perhaps being a Yinglet would help their writing cramps. Having 4 hands to write with would help with productivity too I think.
Somehow, I completely missed out on this being a thing! Well, I guess I have some catching up to get to.
yes she is sweet, but please tell me i’m not the only one who’s aware of how absolutely heartbreaking this page is??? the fact that she’s crying into her fists and telling herself that a guy literally running out on her is NICE because she thinks she’s so ugly and unlovable that she doesn’t deserve the ‘kindness’ of people merely TOLERATING her???
You’re not the only one who got that. As someone dealing with the effects of child abuse even long after I became an adult, I can see myself in her in this page, and it’s just… oof. I don’t even know how to put it into words, other than “oof.”
right there with ya buddy. it hits home REAL hard.
No, it is very sad indeed. It makes you want to jump through the screen, into this world and do your best to show her just how precious she is.
Thaaaaat’s Isher!
Ah, yes indeed! Humans are ever so nice and kind! It never ceases to amaze this little maid, their generous desire to share their snuggly warm beds with lowly creatures such as us despite all our shameful, beastly features. <3
GET THAT TONGUE BACK IN YER MOUTH
We are unworzhy…
EEEEE! Don’t let it eats meee… *hides behind hoppy-bitey dino-bird zhingy… and get’s pecked in ze head – BONK!* Owies!
Aw…
Coming soon: Alcohol!
With her body mass it’ll require the whole keg
It’s funny you think we’re talking about _one._
Isher… 🙁
I once told a friend that I wanted a woman who could bench press me. Dang it, where’s a dimensional rift into a fictional universe when you need one!?
I did not think I could _possibly_ feel more contempt for that wee man fuccboi (I ain’t repeating his name) until I read _THIS_ page.
Aw, poor Isher! I just wanna cuddle her so much! <3
You’re not going to freak out if she cuddles you, are you?
I also don’t get why dude couldn’t finish (the entire night) with Isher, even just as a courtesy.
I feel like doing so should not have been at all difficult…BUT I’m no mighty sailin’ man nor drifter, brave and sure, and I suppose the circles where he operates are ones where such (vulnerable) behavior tends to be discouraged, if not outright mocked.
Dude was having, if not a full-blown panic attack, something heading that way. That is very much a difficult thing to go against. Once in that mode, it basically overrides the rational part of the brain, and you fall back on reflexive ways to deal with it. If you don’t have a fair bit of practice doing so, probably the only way you HAVE to deal with it is to GTFO.
Yeah. I feel like he’d have been perfectly happy to have bit the bullet and been the little spoon for the night- it wasn’t her size, it was the foot long claws in front of his face triggering a lizard-brain fight-or-flight response. And so for him, it was either scream-and-gibber, or politely make an excuse and leave. He chose the one that would hurt her feelings less.
Interestingly, while it’s a shitty situation all around, Isher is actually correct about his motives here, I think.
I’d really like to believe this, but thanks to the magic of comics, his thought balloons tell us exactly what he was thinking, which was that he was being emasculated like a little baby man, and that he was uncomfortable about not being in control of the situation. And then becomes VERY uncomfortable when the realization hits him as to just how little control he actually has.
He did not have to fight OR flee. He could have just… surrendered. But then that would have made him feel “weak.”
I probably should note that, as a girl, I’d freak out over not being in control of the situation if I was held by someone I don’t trust.
But, you know… people with trust issues probably shouldn’t sleep with complete strangers in the first place.
Conveniently ignoring the bits where A) he was trying to talk himself down from that and B) he had some genuine fear of harm (*justified* fear, mind you).
Even his inner monologue *as he makes those excuses* is very, very familiar to me as a sufferer of a strong anxiety disorder. Part of him was still saying that bailing out was Not A Good Thing… but it was getting shouted down inside by the “gotta get out” response. Prisoner of his own thoughts.
Gee… I wonder what happened to the original story? You know… The one about the guy who has to deal with all the complexities of being turned into a female Yinglet? That story? Remember that one? It’s been so long I’m beginning to think you forgot all about it.
Really? *One scene* away from Kass and you’re saying s/he’s been forgotten? Come on.
“Out-Of-Placers” has an ‘s’ in zhere fors a reason.
Zhis story is likes an onion. An onion has ze layers… ands yous don’t wanna hears me singings nows. Do yous? O_o
😉
Hi, Ed!
There are many stories being told here. Feel free to skip over any strips that do not interest you.
As zhe ozers say, zhis a story about more zhan zhe oh so pretty lady kassie.
Ok so, stories take time to write/draw. It’s actually only been a few pages since it was last about Kass. The reason it seems like it’s been a long time is due to the effort and time being put into these pages, plus some things could be happening in the creators life, taking some time away from the comic as well. Not only that, but quite a few other comics/manga/shows change shift to focus on other characters, to add on to their story, character development, etc. Naruto being a prime example of that, as it mainly focuses on Naruto, but every once in a while it focuses on other characters. Quite often in fact.
Sorry if this seems rude, condescending, or like an attack, but please think about this next time something similar happens.
As demasculating it may be I’d let her make me the little spoon all night.*pats the isher*
I’d put a ring on it so she could carry ME across the threshold.
