Inessa: Right
Chiro: But Ida is straight.
Inessa: Uhh... So far as she's told you.
Chiro: So there's only one possible answer here! I must not actually be a girl.
Inessa: No. Bad.

Holy shit Chiro that is an impressive level of mental gymnastics. At least Ida's made some sort of sense.

Chiro's makes sense if you assume she didn't quite kill the devil on her shoulder trying to convince her she's really still a boy. Which, um.

Officially, I was a trans girl, for all I still felt like an imposter.

...

"She got your name wrong twice yesterday!" Inessa said with her arms crossed over her chest. "You're not allowed to be so grateful to her that you spontaneously burst into tears."

"I mean..." I should probably have been upset at that. A real trans girl probably would have been inconsolate.

...

And, whatever the genuine trans girl was, she was it. She was, in ways that Inessa had been, the genuine article I was currently pretending to be.

...

"But, like, you'd just know if you were gay or trans or anything, right? LIke, people just have an internal sense of that kind of thing."

"Exactly!" I agreed, puzzled by the unexpected support, but willing to accept it even if it meant my efforts to avoid the topic were failing.

...

I'd heard a few students talking about Humanitas in the aftermath of the fight. No one seemed to have guessed she might be trans or whatever incomprehensible thing I actually was. But maybe they had? Maybe people were just more polite when the ugly boy in a skirt had magic superpowers and got to hang out with the magical girls.

Yeah. That devil is still loud.


Ida, on the other hand, is copying the silliest parts of Inessa's playbook.
Shadell said:
Inessa blinked, then shook her head furiously, "N-no, I mean, it's awful I… I've been misgendering em this whole time! Ey probably hate me now and even if ey turns good ey'll never want to date me and…"

She paused, clamping one hand over her mouth, "I-I'm a lesbian, is it transphobic that I have a crush on em?!"

"Inessa," I rubbed the bridge of my nose, "you're kinda amazing, you know?"

She stuck her tongue out at me.

And making them even sillier, if we're being honest.

Hmm. I wanted to do more with the Elisa omake, but dunno a good direction. For now, just having the idea she had a bit of hobby with storytelling, maybe often telling stories to her sister. I'm trying to think of some funny direction to take the omake. I could go for something more serious, but "you ruined my life" would really impact the characters' arcs.
Ah, there's Ida x Chiro misadventures to do an omake for, too. Also had some halloween omake idea, but forgot the point of it.
So, you guys cooking some omakes too?

You can always combine all three
 
Finished revisions drafts, though I may compulsively tinker a bit before the release! Honestly, aside from a few little changes here and there to smooth out a few things, don't expect much changes in the overall narrative. That said, grammatically and stylistically, I've cleaned things up quite a bit and I think I've finally wrestled the formatting into something workable if anyone prefers ebook versions. Still working on getting a paperback copy together.

I've also got preorders up on a much larger set of platforms (found here: @Shadell13 | Linktree )

Mobster Avaritia by ArlequineLunaire

    • Drew some Avaritia fanart this time. Thought to put them in a business suit because of eir sin, but I figured a mob-style pinstripe suit would suit eir personality better. Turned out quite different from previous fanart of em, but what do you think?

    Relatively more realistic in style compared to my previous fanart here. Those wolf-head epaulets are also meant to allude to Cerberus. You could say the briefcase contains Resin or even a Seed

    • I think I can't see it, and I'm not sure why...

    Edit: okay, the issue was on my end, I switched to my phone and I can see it fine

    Unironically I feel like the Ida x Chiro pairing has so much sauce. Ida has been the person most normal about Chiro's whole arc. Temperance kind of fucks it up a lot because she really really wants to help but she pushes on the wrong issues at the wrong times, Inessa has firmly been established as 'Sister', and Avaritia x Chiro is just extremely unhealthy for both of them I think :V.
     
    The only way Avaritia×Chiro could be considered healthy for either of them is if Superbia abused Chiro so badly that Avaritia abandoned Superbia to save her. Which, um, is a big of a mixed bag. Very dramatic though.

    Temperance...is well-intentioned. I struggle to think of any personal problem she tried to help with and didn't make it worse.
     
    Wait hang on. Did Chiro restore her cute bat wings when transformed, or is she still stuck with those dorky angel wings even after accepting being a bat-lover as part of her personality?

    If Temperance doesn't get to keep her shark teeth, Chiro doesn't get bat wings. Fair is fair.

    Avaritia was right.
