Hmm, I'd call it a heartwarming comic. Quite a nice story.

These last pages are striking hard wow

right....in the feels.



damn this is a good story

So just a life long injury that will claim him in 8 years.

Kinda hope she at least cripples him or something..

Maybe breaking his kneecaps at the very least.

Amazing

You know, trying to invoke the "just as bad as them" line to the man that has abused Estella is a really stupid thing to say when you think about it. I mean, this is the same person who not too long ago tried to murder her with an axe to the head.

I think the reasoning is that he's done. She won the fight. Killing him now would be only revenge and cold blood. Just to make herself feel better. Which is the same/similar logic to his abuse. Not to say I don't think it's not justified. But it travels down a path that can't be backtracked and it's also pretty much what the sick jerk wants at this point. Calling her weak etc. If she doesn't kill him. He keeps living/taunting her. If she does. He wins because he drove her to be so full of rage she outright murders him. It's unfortunately no longer self defense at this point.

Oh whatever. If she refuses to do either one then just call the police. It honestly would've solved several problems if she did that to begin with.

No offense dude, but people who ask "why didn't they just leave" weren't themselves continually abused.

As someone who was in a household loke that i can afree. Your mond is your worst enemy in these situations.

Wouldn't there be a possibility of court ruling it as self defense?

Realistically? Nope. If she had done it when he was still standing and holding the axe, then yes, but he's on the ground now. For all intents and purposes, in the eyes of the law he's been neutralized as a 'threat' and it's no longer self-defense so long as he stays down until the police arrive. Now if he stands back up and takes another swing, that'd automatically be considered attempted murder on his part and she could absolutely kill him and face at most a few years in jail for murder in self-defense.


There is a possibility she could get her sentence mitigated if she did kill him, but she wouldn't get off. Justifiable Homicide, which is knowingly killing somebody because you have a cause to believe beyond reasonable doubt that they will attempt to cause great bodily harm to you or someone else in the future even if they have been 'defeated' at that point of time, would apply here since he actively interrupted her attempts to call the police for help. Stella would still go to prison, however, even if she could prove 110% that he was absolutely planning to try and kill Eve or her again in the near future. I don't think this would qualify as a felony charge of homicide, but unless I'm mistaken Justifiable in the US carries a minimum 5 to 10 year prison sentence, so she'd be looking at around 7 years in prison for killing her father, even if it was to protect Eve and herself.


I may not have all my facts 100% in a row here, I'm not a lawyer and I never studied law beyond making sure I know how to defend myself and stay on the outside of a courtroom. I may have some things pretty wrong, but either way Stella will go to jail if she kills her father. The only way that she wouldn't is if she was forced to in the presence of the police and they were able to verify that she had no choice.

Or she wants to continue living her life with her partner. If the cops show up to Stella hacking him to bits, Stella is most likely going to prison. I don't think she implied that Stella and her father would be equal.

When trying to stop a monster, make sure you yourself, don't become that same monster... You have to stop the wheel. Be a better person. My foster parents were absolute monsters -- but they got theirs. I didn't go down to their level. And she's right- doing something like that -- it sticks to your soul, it doesn't leave your mind. Like Mark Twain said, 'I've never killed a man, but I have smiled at a few obituaries'

damn it she's right

even I don't want Estella to live in his shadow

Oh holy shit! This is aMazing. I've got tears in my eyes.

I swear if he just walks away...…..

please he has to

Kill him no?....break his legs...or an arm or two....or ya know..drop that thing hard on his genitals...or teeth yeah that seems about right.

I know this is a flashback but...holy fook. No wonder these two can stick together through anything

i’m waiting for the police to show up and take him away

god, this comic is amaaazing.. the emotion you get into the drawing of it is incredible!!

Well that was a terrifying wait and a relief that Evie was able to calm Estelle down.

My nigga who tf choppin unions

Gorgeous page
Still fuming! Gah, the kid is so cute ;w;

gawd dengit!

I am not crying, someone threw a tear gas in my house

I know... Someone's been slicing onions again. How they're doing it in a train is a mystery...

Hope that old asshat realizes the only reason he's still breathing is because of Evie's love and mercy. Because Stella's completely out of both for him.

He's gonna force her to kill him in self defense

This is a flashback and it's stated that he died years after this incident.

Huh. Missed that detail.

Sooooo... Pneumonia anyone?

Awwwwww this is so touching! ;~;

God, when I read this comic... I started to hear this music in my head...

No! Kill him! Feel the HATE flow through you! KILL HIM!

*falls back as if shot*
Oooff, dem feels!!

My eyes hurt from rolling so hard

Be the moral compass Evie, Estella needs it.

Called it

I've never been in this position, but I have before stared down the path that could have taken me to this, and even doing only that chilled me to a bloodcurdling fear. This comic is so good because jeez--it brings memories of simply looking at the edge, and how only looking can be such a it-got-real moment. Stella could go either way, she really could. The tension is that much higher because there is no safety left, there is no nothing to stop her. Only by Providence, is Evie there, just the person to happen to Stella's life to maybe keep her from going over the precipice. And that reaches me at least, I love and fear that interpretation of mine at least. It's gripping.

Cause of death: FEELS

I've been watching your comics for a while as a proper lurker, but I feel I should say, as a comic artist myself, your page layouts and angles and character expressions are really inspiring.

you're like me...

Whatever you do...
Don't drop the axe close to him.

Cut his feet off

She's right Stella, it's not worth.
You're upset about this now but next week it won't matter
Don't ruin your life over what he did
Put the axe down and call the cops

Literally all day I can think about is Evie. My heart... This is such a beautiful comic, and Evie is just a sweet sweet little angle. ;O;

Them growing up healthy and strong is all I want for Stella and Evie. There are so many times I come close to cry, but...

But what really brought tears to my eyes was your artistic goal, Vika, "drawing would remain as your main occupation no matter happens in life." Only someone as beautiful as you are can convey such strong emotions in a comic. I hope you all the best, Viktria.

And you have the cutest nose, my little angel. ;w;

I wanna say, there is a typo on the "sick bastard deseves it". Great work

Reading this now I really like this page. While it might seem like it uses the "If I kill you I'll be just like you" trope, it really doesn't in the context of the scene and the setting. Evie isn't trying to convince Stella that killing her father would make her a bad person. She's trying to save Stella from her impulses so she won't lose her.

Honestly that's what makes this scene beautiful not just from an art prospective but a writing prospective as well.
