I've gotta say, as the originator of "shitty little fairy," I'm a little disappointed to see some of you using existing characters like Airy. No no no. I want YOU to make a shitty little fairy. I want to see what YOUR shitty little fairy would look and act like. Why tie yourself down to someone else's pixie when you can craft one that perfectly fits your personal perversions?

I believe in you. Make the little freak of your dreams. Or BE the little freak of your dreams!

Chapter 56 Thoughts

[You should support the comic's updates if you can! Always be sure to Like it at the end, too! I'm not sure if it tracks click locations, so just copy the link I added as a reply below!]

Folks...This is going to be an AMAZING chapter when it's translated. But, if you're super curious like me and are checking these updates as they happen, you definitely want to know what just happened, right? Well, you could tell from the art, at least! The emotions in this one were drawn SO GOOD...but I'm here to provide the specifics.

I hope you have some tissues. Oh, and just a head's up: I AM going to use "Yuki" and "Totoko" here. Not because they started using them (though that'll be the day, huh~?) but for another reason that you'll soon find out...

The chapter starts with Yuki texting her mom about the trip. But what caught Yuki's attention was the way her mom finished the chat after she mentioned she was bringing someone along.

"I understand"

Just that. Nothing else, just "I understand." It's....strange. She wanted to poke her mom after that, but work got in the way.

But enough about work because we immediately shift to...

SENDAI! They're here! Yuki's so excited to show Totoko her old stomping grounds, though there's a hilarious moment when a statue she thought was going to be by the station wasn't. Turned out, irl, the statue got moved elsewhere and even Sensei took note of that for a quick gag lol

The two immediately get into sightseeing mode, though. They check out a few stops, simply enjoying the time together, having a...vacation together! Wow!

There's familiar sights and cuisines, though time marches on and even Yuki is surprised by some new offerings, like the clownfish monaka in the upper left corner (monaka are traditional Japanese snacks but this style was a twist on it, of course)

Eventually, though, the time has come. Specifically, the time Yuki agreed to meet her mom. Just her mom, though. Her parents divorced sometime after Yuki moved away from the area. We have a little time indicator moment when Yuki says it's been a year since she last visited Sendai since she skipped out on Christmastime.

She had said she wanted to tell her mom about her relationship with Totoko, and this was THE moment to do so. Even as they get to the apartment complex and enter the elevator, anxiety begins to spike...though they remember what Nagumo said about her and Yako also being by their side, as their Chosen Family.

At last, the scary elevator ride is over, and they're in front of the apartment. This is it. No turning back.

Such an awkward moment of silence...but here we are. Everyone, meet Maya! She's Yuki's mom! (Maya insists that Yuki looks more like her father, but Totoko makes a note how they have the same eyes at the very least)

And Totoko immediately gets super formal, bowing at the most formal angle and offering her a gift because she does NOT want to mess things up, and it's kind of adorable. Don't worry, though. Maya tells her to relax and to just call her "Maya." It relaxes her enough to let the older woman know she can call her "Totoko"

But things start to derail in a hilarious manner because Maya has a tendency to blabber! Poor, poor Totoko. Yuki feels bad for not telling her lol

Maya then offers the ladies some coffee and continues to chat a little. Yuki is getting caught up in her thoughts. She realizes this is, literally, the moment. "Now or never," she thinks to herself. But she starts getting nervous. The anxiety is spiking....Oh, Yuki's weakness is starting to crop up again.

Like an angel from above, and despite having her own qualms about it in the previous chapter, Totoko steps up and directly announces:

"...Maya-san, I'm...in a relationship with Yuki-san. I'm her lover. I've also moved in with her recently."

Though there is no immediate reaction, Totoko's actions were enough to fire up Yuki to finally make the announcement she's wanted to give:

"Mama! I'm a lesbian. I am attracted to women. Kasuga-san is the woman I love! [in another panel: And I wanted you to know that, Mama.]"

Her mom reacts in a...strange way, though. She smiles softly, placing her cup down and asks Yuki if she remembered her childhood dreams - the ones about cooking up a big castella cake for the forest critters and others to enjoy with her, and how she cried when no one came...

Well...that's not quite the reaction Yuki was looking for. She's kinda stunned, letting her mom continue rambling.

Maya then talks about how that seemed to be the start of Yuki's love for cooking. She eventually asked if she could make zoni...and then it just grew from there. But there were some more recent dishes that reminded her of that time, like that giant bucket pudding (reminds her of the cake), or how that Shiba-Pup character bento was so adorable (Yuki's always loved shibas, huh~?)

Wait.

Wait a moment.

How does Maya know about....

TURNS OUT MAYA WAS FOLLOWING YUKI'S FOOD ACCOUNT FOR A WHILE NOW!?!?

(but not because she was stalking her daughter or anything. It just happened to pop up on her timeline thanks to viral algorithms, I bet. And she managed to figure out it was Yuki because of certain cooking techniques, but she assures her daughter only she would know something that intricate so her anonymity remains intact)

But you know what else that means?

She saw the post when Yuki came out to her followers (Chapters 49 and 52). She was there that evening, seeing that post as it got shared.

She didn't know what to think at first. She was confused. Stunned. How could it be? How could that girl...

Who would always shrug off any urging of finding a boyfriend...

How could that girl...

Who would always reply "no" whenever she asked her if she's found a man yet...

Oh.

....Oh...

Had she been bringing Yuki down every time? Because she didn't really listen to her? Because she kept urging these things that society seems to expect her to be/have by a certain age?

But it especially hurt seeing the negative comments Yuki was receiving. One is highlighted where the user says if they were in Yuki's shoes, they would've just kept quiet and not bother. These posts shake Maya.

Maya recalls how Yuki's earlier posts featured such small, "perfect" dishes, but then she saw that sudden shift: The gyoza party. The gigantic omurice. The pile of donuts. It reminded her of Yuki as a child...

The eager child who wanted to make amazing food and had fun doing so. Yuki has always been like that, deep down. But society pressed her to do other things for so long. This mother pressed her daughter to do things she didn't want to do. Maya needed to change her mindset.

I'm going to share this page in its entirety and translate it for you. Because it's beautiful, and, if you have been reading this comic since Chapter 1, you know how meaningful this is:

Maya: Yuki...You finally found that person who will finish your meals with you. It was Totoko-san, wasn't it? ....Thank you for letting me meet her. Yuki: Mama...

Such a touching moment...but we need to reel it back a bit. Maya knows just how to do that! She's hungry! Yuki! Make something for all of us!

Wait, what??! Who makes their guest cook? Yuki is miffed.

Even Totoko gets dragged away by Maya after offering to lend a hand. No no! She wants a dish cooked by Yuki and Yuki alone! Feel free to use whatever's in the kitchen. Just cook up something good~

And she does. Turns out, it's a dish her mother taught her: mapo yakisoba. Of course, Yuki is nervous again, but now it's because the "master" is judging the "student." She made it with all her heart, though. It's gonna be good...right?

It is. Yuki has won her mother's approval in the world of cooking as well~

After the meal's had, the ladies have to head back to their hotel. Yuki lets her mom know that they plan to be at the Sendai Pride event, and we learn that Maya has done a little research on her own. She's still new at lgbtq stuff, but she's getting there, and she wishes nothing but a fun time for the two.

I'm so glad to see such a supportive blood relative, to be honest. I know not everyone has their family ties after coming out. Some are dangerous. It's best to break them. You find solace with others, and they become your "chosen family." They are just as special, of course! But...it's nice to see an example of a blood relative that loves and supports their child after coming out.

The rest of the chapter is the beginning of Sendai Pride. The ladies are in awe. So many amazing sights, so many amazing people! Sign language interpreters are spotted, as well as a teenaged couple for Nomoto and Kasuga to be wowed at (because, in their day, so hard to be out. Still is, but I think they're amazed that those two could be out and proud with the rest of them)

This post is already so, so long, but I will add that Sensei (and probably the editor) went out to the most recent Sendai Pride and interviewed folks and grabbed refs for this moment. Sensei tried to capture the diversity she saw while they were there, though she admits it personally proved to her she's got a ways to go. She's gonna improve on that!

But it's a sight to behold....

Makes you feel...proud, huh?

"Let the rainbow's brilliance reach you freely, endlessly."

The next chapter will be posted on August 7th!

For thousands of years humanity has selectively bred chickens to have larger breasts and to have to lay eggs constantly. We did it to get more meat and per chicken, but from the perspective of the domesticated chickens they’re sorta living in a very specific fetish scenario

after i finished this i paused and thought i don't have the heart to eat these women. but maybe you do. if you're hungry

[fuckthisshit-ugh]

please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.

you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.

first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.

now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:

in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.

and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.

and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.

it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:

• infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.

• youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.

• only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.

• manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.

• journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.

• even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.

and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.

what i'm asking:

if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.

if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.

india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.

we can still save her. but only loudly.

reblog. share. don't scroll past.

people have lots of pet peeves with guys being/being called grunglers. i dont care abt any of that. my annoyance is that in the original tweet the guy himself was not the grungler, the messed up dark souls character he made while on call with strange transsexuals was the grungler. ur all misusing the term
