This is a very, very late project for HL Art.
(Wes is a little taller than I think he should be though (though I might keep it that way ))
It is also an excuse to talk about Wesley and R.J.'s school experience.

For R.J., almost none of his stress comes from his job as a superhero.
Sure, he'll get in a few tight spots here and there, and he'll be stressed out enough to want to do a good job being a hero, but it's never something that causes him to lose sleep or have anxiety attacks.

He gets all his stress from school.
He's hated it ever since he was 12, when he first transferred into Writhen Middle in the 7th grade.
Being the lovable Asperger child he is, he found it hard to interact socially with his peers, especially because he found the behavior of most of his classmates to be disrespecful, juvenile, and at times abhorrent.
He also got (compared to his peers) abnormally stressed over tiny changes in the school schedule, couldn't look people in the eyes, didn't get the sarcasm and other social lingo of others, and also showed his habit of rocking back and forth to calm himself in class (a common trait among Aspies).
All this put off his peers, who could immediately tell that something was off about him, and as a result R.J. became even more bent on avoiding social contact than he was before.

He wasn't exactly bullied until he and Carver Wilson (the intolerant blonde jock in the comic) met in 8th grade, and Carver not only noticed traits of R.J.'s autism but also of his homosexuality (because he discovered at a young age that he was homosexual, R.J. avoided changing in the same room with all the other boys and avoided them at other times too).
Carver, being from a VERY conservative family where homosexuality was looked down upon as immoral and emasculating, took this as an excuse to bully R.J., and has continued to do so every year of school since.
Carver also hates how intellgient R.J. is as well, and bullies him for that reason too.

R.J. knows he can't physically fight back because he doesn't want his secret getting out and because he knows the school doesn't encourage it, but he also doesn't know how to defend himself verbally, and thus doesn't know how to deal with Carver's abuse.
R.J. considers Carver his true archenemy, and hates him with a passion.

The situation does get better when Wesley and R.J. meet, since Wesley is good with verbal smack and knows how to throw Carver off, but every once in a while Wesley won't be quick enough to get between R.J. and Carver before something happens.
Plus in a way Wesley makes it worse because although they never admit that they are in a relationship to their classmates (just for the sake of protecting their identities), they're so loving in their actions and they spend so much time together that people assume that they're in a relationship anyways

But anyway, yeah, that's what's happening here.
It actually made me feel bad to write that word that Carver says.
This is how I know I can never say anything worse than "damn" and "ass" for cuss words.

But I'm glad it's finally done. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW LONG I WORKED ON THIS I HAD TO RESTART SO MANY TIMES AKFJHJKDGHABHGJSFDKBJK

Oh, and I tried out a way of showing Wesley running.
He's sort've like the Powerpuff Girls in that he creates a streak of red behind him when he runs (as speedsters do in my stories ).
I don't think I'm going to outlines that one part in pink again though. It looks a little weird to me

Anyway, I have one more BlueJay comic I need to finish and put on here, then I need to work on two things for school.
