someone shoot me with the cuteness overload gun.

This was so beautiful. I am completely in awe of the art style and the bubbles were so wholesome and aesthetically pleasing.

"They're nice. They're not a girl, Cayli is agender."
The genderfluid normality of the story touched my heart so very much. I also screamed when I saw the poly rep. It was so genuine and beautiful to see.

I loved how the art style changed as the story progressed. It looked so different and yet the same.
The music really helped me getting into the story, it made it all so much more real, it was lovely.

"You act as if I can do no wrong, as if everything I say and do is justified. But I'm not perfect, I make mistakes all the time. I can be petty and angry and insecure. And I can't live up to the pedestal you've put me on. "

I love how relatable and realistic the plot and characters were. Austen’s immune system and her inability to use most mods is so well done and developed. I'm also glad how the creator dealt with her eating disorder. I could totally understand both points of view. We don't see easy going situations or decisions being made for the plot. The characters are flawed, they're real. They aren't reacting in a perfect way. They mess up, hurt each other and themselves but also have growth and development.

I also appreciated how the plot isn't just fixated on the romance, but we have a lot of platonic friendships, family relationships, backstories and supportive teachers.
The plot is really easy and the angst is not extremely unrealistic, but instead, revolves around events that could absolutely happen to each and everyone of us. It shows that a story to be good doesn't need angst and plot twists every 2 pages and it was truly refreshing.
