35 Thoughts on Ch2 18

  1. I really wish I was as confident as Oriana; I’ve had similiar things like this done to me but I never really did anything and just let them happen because I’m rather scared of talking

    I have a minor language disorder where I don’t quite understand what is going on and I don’t think things through (I restart sentences a lot and stammer and I don’t always get certain things such as sarcasim or hidden meanings) so that’s gotten me into a lot of trouble in the past (it’s called Semantic Pragmantic Disorder and Special Educational Needs give it to those who can’t be classified as Autistic so I don’t recieve extra help or anything and most people who I’ve mentioned it to have accused me of lying). I remember being in school once and a girl dumped the contents of a paper hole puncher onto my head. A teacher saw the whole thing and when I came up to talk to him later about an entirely different situation, I was still rather wound up about it and he told me to go slowly because no matter what, we would get there eventually.

    Back then, teachers would either talk down to me or would generally treat me different because I was the quiet one and even though I was picked on a lot, no one really did anything (When I came back to school after missing a day off due to bullying once, I remember the whole class staring and smiling at me in pity and the teacher just stood me in front of the class and said that no one would do it again and that my class would protect me…it was so humiliating and it never happened!!) but this one teacher generally didn’t care about anything and just treated everyone the same. I really miss that teacher; he was forced to retire due to illness later that year.

    So I wish I had Oriana’s courage :3

    • My comment is so long and I’d rather send this to you in an email but I can’t so please forgive the length TT^TT I really talk way to much~

      That’s a very deep story and I can relate a lot to that. For me some say that I was more sheltered in my life so I didn’t understand or really cared about a lot of the other things more socially active teenagers my age where doing. I wouldn’t get a lot of the jokes and it didn’t phase me that I didn’t get it because I wouldn’t see what I would gain from getting the joke. My mother called me her “special child” and even to this day there’s a lot of things that I don’t get and don’t care to get or understand but because of that I also got in a lot of trouble.
      Ignorance isn’t always bliss and I was protected from a lot of stuff but I also walked into a lot of stuff because I didn’t understand. So I believe I can understand the things you went through.

      I remember a girl name Britteny picking on me and my best friend while we were trying to study in class and while we were reciting some of the study material to ourselves *or I was reciting it to my best friend* she told me to stick my head out the window, of course I responded right back that she should stick her head out the window but my best friend stayed quite. I was picked on a lot but because I ran my mouth so quick or usually had something stupid to say back I could hold my own well enough but my best friend was very quite and didn’t really speak to a lot of people and when she did she would have a british accent that I believe popped up whenever she’d get nervous because it wasn’t there when it was just the two of us talking.

      So don’t feel bad about that, you’re human just like the rest of us. The reason why I believe me and my best friend got a long so well is that we both were socially awkward but unlike her I was a little more aggressive with saying what I needed to say and she was more quite. I even remember a time where I got upset with her and I was waiting in the cafeteria line and I saw her upfront but didn’t want to stand with her because I was mad and if I remembered correctly I saw that she saw me standing there but stayed quite and when some kid cut in front of her and I got pissed and walked up to where she was at and told him to get behind her because he just cut ^^; I don’t know if you’d say I’m bipolar but I defiantly know that I am a little crazy but that’s what makes me, me and you learn to work with what you got and enjoy life even with that. Your defiantly not alone and it’s okay to be a more introverted type of person. Me and my friend both balanced each other out, I gave her wings to be silly and not care and she helped keep me landed when I would want to get into fights or would get worked up because someone said something to me. Laid back and quite people are needed just as much as everyone else they help keep the crazy overly confident people settled and in check because they’ll usually end up getting themselves way in over their head ^^;
      You be you because my friend who was a lot like you really helped keep me out of a lot of sticky situations and really had a special place in my heart because she was the way she was, quite and all but she accepted me and I accepted her.
      I really miss her now that I think about it but that’s life ^^;

      • I remember someone who I thought was my friend told me off when I asked for advice about the bullying (to quote her “I HAVE MY OWN PROBLEMS SO GO AWAY” – …well, you didn’t talk about your problems to me so obviously I’m not your friend you selfish cow >:< ) and basically she just abandoned me for a "rock and roll lifestyle". I then decided never to be a bother and "lost my voice" as it were for 2 years.

        Then one day I was sitting alone in a maths class when these two girls basically dragged me over and they've been some of my BFFs since and helped me to talk more. Seriously, someone once said that if the bullying came back and the teachers did nothing, we would walk out of school right then and there in protest.

        Thnak you for your thoughts. They make me smile :3

        • People can be very tricky to work with and I’ve always been a very to my self type of person in school. If I didn’t see the need to talk or interact with others then I was fine sitting quietly either drawing or reading my book but if I had something to say then I’d say it. I wouldn’t say that I was shy….I think it was more like I didn’t care to talk if there wasn’t any point to it ^^; I think that’s probably why a lot of people thought I was scary or intimidating.
          It’s good that you where able to get past that though! And Thank you for sharing your story with me. I’m happy that my comment made you smile!

  2. I give Oriana praise for not letting what that girl did get to her spirit . Also , she has a good control of her emotions on this page which makes me really proud of her ! Not that I’m saying she doesn’t have a good control of her emotions all the time but . . . you know what I mean right ? She was very poised and even kept her friend from reacting to the other girl . You go Oriana ! ! ! The good always win ! ( ^ __ ~ )b P.S. You should already know that I LOVE this page ! What more can I say ?

    • Of course I understand you 100% =D It’s funny because Krisa get’s worked up over verbal confrontation and not really Physical but Oriana is the opposite. When people touch Oriana she flips out ^^;

  3. Sorry i have not comment lot …. i believe for this world to work is to have mean people because great people have hard times do to mean people but we over become them. Like Oriana who did not get anger is the best way to get even. That’s why i love her character so much….. can’t wait for next page!!!! 8D

    • It’s okay Toshiro! You don’t have to apologize for not commenting because you’ve left me comments before and even if you don’t leave anymore I still appreciate the support you show by reading my comic and coming back to my site =D So don’t feel bad or pressured that you have to leave a comment because not everyone talks as much or long as I do ^^; Once I get started talking about something interesting I keep on going so I’m usually told to shut-up or stop talking ^^ Just be yourself and keep on enjoying the comic like you’ve been doing so far because I also hope that you along with the others will be able to enjoy the rest of this story as well ;D
      P.S. I’m excited to show you guys the next couple of pages because that’s the revised confession scene pages X3 soooo excited!!!!!

    • While working on Oriana’s character and writing and drawing out her actions I’m starting to realize that Oriana handles verbal confrontation a lot better then physical confrontation ^^ It’s weird how characters start to take there own shape when drawing and writing them out.^^;
