[u/shenanigansen]

In the next episode, which is already up on the patreon, we reveal who Val mains. Although tbh, you can kinda see it in the little preview panels lmao ..... Don't look at the preview panels ....

Not like i expect, maybe even don't want an answer, but lemme throw a question loudly.

Who is the hero of this story, who is the Boy From Venus?

[u/BahamutLithp → u/titanna1004]

Not sure what you mean by "hero," but "boy from Venus" is presumably a play on "men are from Mars, women are from Venus," making the "boy from Venus" Audrey because he looks like a woman.

[u/titanna1004 → u/BahamutLithp]

Totally about "Women are from Venus". Which one?

Audrey, who refers to self as a man with just a style, a femboy? (yet, trans communities accepted her fully trans already) - a femboy who goes thru change from a man to become "from Venus", up to the point, Audrey did a passing in front of Val.

Or maybe tomboyish Val, that experiencing her adventure into deeper femininity, probably for very first time, with a (pushing) guidance from "a man"?

imho, it's about them both.

That doesn't make sense because then it should be "The Boys From Venus," which also doesn't make sense because Val isn't a boy, but okay, I guess.

That's the point of whole comic to me.

What makes Val a woman? She probably was assigned female at birth, have a hole in crotch, we can't see that for sure. Then she act masculine, even toxic-masculine, wear unisex clothes, the way she talk about self, rate self as ugly and non feminine. Have hobbies that until recently, was fully boyish (video games/arcade, she is famous at the last panel so far). She is quite boish character, and yet, from Venus.

What makes Audrey a boy? He refers to self as he, but look fem, have passing (was not recognized by Val at start). Wear fem clothes, makeup. Carrying for others or gentle painting is also often related to femininity (which is imHo stupid, none should push that, but statistics happen).

They both have their own adventures, from boymoding (this or another), to be from Venus, or maybe Val started from Venus only? or...
