*sad cat noises*

emotional damage!

The first time I felt truly alone is when everyone betrayed me in mario party.

Highly concentrated feels..

they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would never understand

Oof, like what, ten years and after so many close calls it's all culminating into this? Such a good comic and truly treading the line of porn and art at this point. Haven't felt these feels since Lord of the G String

Why is this hurting so much?
It's just a picture online... ;-;

Com on Seb, your dear sister needs you!!!!

Ouch.

Are porn and art mutually exclusive?

You are never truly alone



once you truly know yourself

That moment you realize that nobody is coming. Nobody is going to save you.
I can only imagine this page didn't take long to make, but took forever to put to paper.

I swear, I can hear her words echoing through time and space.

Absolutely. You've got to wonder if Black Kitten had this trajectory in mind all along, or if the emotional depth evolved more organically, alongside the storytelling. Either way, 'Mornings' is a unique and wonderful achievement.

Well that's a punch to the gut...

Can I give her a hug?

Lord of the what now?

must protect

I feel like they knew someone who went through this exact thing or they are facing it themselves in a sense, I'd be in the same situation if things went down like that

Edit: really good story telling and it's got me hooked in the feels

Until Seb put down his anachronistic Switch or enormous Game Boy Advance, that is.

I like the use of perspective. With her framed in the middle like that it really nails the feeling of being alone.

Dammit BK! Feels in my furry incest porn? Too much too much. 🙂

You might be getting caught in their choice of words. I think they just said this comic was both. :)

I tend to use the word "porn" to speak of explicit media used for sexual gratification, while I use the word "erotica" to speak of explicit media I find artistic; that means I might use both words to speak of the same piece in different contexts.

Compare "My sister found my porn stash!" and "I keep a curated gallery of furry erotica behind the calculator app."

Seb? Sebby boy? Your sister needs you. Like, right now. GO HUG HER!... and call an ambulence.

The emptiness of the walls around her really emphasizes how alone she clearly felt.

No, but they are contextual.

At this moment Serah must've felt like her whole world is coming apart. Traumas like these can stay with you for many, many years. Hopefully Seb comes down and helps her.

Imagine if someone at Insomniac read Mornings and went, "Ratchet's new girlfriend should be what Serah is to Seb". And designed Rivet

When you reach that moment, you realize there are no words to describe it.

”But nobody came…”

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Buddha.
Feeling alone is a horrible feeling, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Loneliness causes suffering. Poor Serah has a pain in her ankle, and an aching heart, due to the death of her mother and the absence of her father. That he avoided his alcohol problems, it's not easy I know, the love of your life died, it's no small feat. Could I have been a better father? Yeah. I try not to judge. Stick only to the facts. Maybe Keith was also alone, without anyone to support him, some friend sullo. Serah being surrounded by the emptiness of the room. Represent graphically.

El dolor es inevitable, el sufrimiento es optativo.
Buda.
Sentirse solo es una sensacion horrible, no se la deseo a nadie. La soledad causa sufrimiento. Pobre Serah tener un dolor en el tobillo, y un corazon dolido, por la muerte de la madre y la ausencia del padre. Que evadio sus problemas en alchol, no es facil lo se, se murio el amor de tu vida, no es moco de pavo. Podria haber sido mejor padre? Si. Trato de no juzgar. Atenerme solo a los hechos. Quisas keith tambien estaba solo, sin nadie que le apolle, algun amigo sullo. Serah estando rodeada de el vacio de la habitacio. Representa graficamente.

This is a bit much.

You bring up an interesting point - I don't remember Keith having any guy friends he could talk to. When I was going through divorce I had several friends that were going through or about to go through the same thing and we all became very close and helped each other through it.

It is true that his friends do not appear in the story.
It's good to be accompanied, it's different when there are friends who support you.

Sierto en la historia no aparecen amigos de el.
Es bueno que te allan acompañado es distinto, cuando hay amigos que te contienen.

I hope none of the three or the descendants spend 100 years of loneliness.

Ojala ninguno de los tres o los desendientes pasen 100 años de soledad.

Gracias. Thank you

So we are seeing the backstory/explanation of why Serah turned to Seb?

No, just why she's been building resentment towards her father for years. Story time started when the father claimed, "I just want to be there for you two, like I always have."

The feeling of loneliness probably made Serah turn to Seb; he was the only family member who accompanied her; When Serah began to realize that Seb was going to want to find a girl, a girlfriend, then he would want to go with her, move out and have his own family, Serah was going to lose her comfort zone. and the closeness of the only family member who loved her. Furthermore, due to the death of her mother, she mistakenly saw that love causes suffering. At that moment she said, should I fall in love? (really the Seb thing doesn't count), why? So that my husband ends up killing me and he gets drunk and leaves my children alone? No thanks. That's why she entered into a relationship with him, a relationship in which there is no true love. just fever. Serah manipulated Seb. It is not totally sincere. Seb is not a Saint either, using his father. the shameless act of asking his father for money for the date with Serah. The father must have felt used. They both did something that was wrong knowing it was wrong.

And Seb, when his mother died, he said, should I fall in love (real love)? so that? so that they abandon me again? no, thanks.

They are both responsible for what they did. Each one has their part.
Time flies, live in the moment and remember that you will die. Horatio. Memento mori, memento vivire. Remember that you are going to die, remember to live. Carpe Diem. (Seize the day). Honor life. Doing good things. Honor the life of Sandra Mihanovich. Argentine singer.

Loli Serah is so cute

The first comic was just a commission. The second one started as one, but eventually became something community driven. I think BK got help with the writing during the third comic. So you can figure things from there. I would personally say it’s mostly organic, with a bit of planning for the last few chapters.
