Description BTW, Rugtla belongs to !

I think Tara and Rugtla's relationship definitely deserves more highlights. Including a few facts about how they came to this point.

- During the days Tara wanted to fit the mold of a normal schoolgirl, she had always thought one step to doing so was to crush on the popular guys at school, including sports jocks. Except as far back as middle school, she felt more attraction towards other girls.

- When Tara confessed to Rugtla, and nearly scared herself to half-death doing it, she was pretty shocked to see herself received with open arms. And knowing Rugtla's first thought was flattery that Tara adored her so deeply, after all the time they've spent as friends.

- There is no ambiguity in their relationship. After Tara's confession, they are unquestionably attracted and happy with each other. Complete with hand-holding, hugging, kissing, and cuddling. While still quite young, they're not afraid to admit that much.

- Neither family has ANY problems with this whatsoever. Tara's family is too strange to regard a same-sex relationship with anything but congratulations. And Rugtla's family comes from a non-human culture that does not experience homophobia.

- Rugtla's personality is brave, which results in her being flirtatious, outgoing, and is more experienced with the farm-work that earns them money. However, both of them agree that no, there IS no "Man in the relationship". Nor is there a "butch" or femme".

- Yes...Tara did move in with Rugtla very soon after they confirmed their feelings for each other were reciprocated. U-Haul Syndrome, hahaha. Although Tara had the mind to sign herself up as a farm hand for Rugtla's family, as she didn't want to feel like a freeloader.

- And this pic? Their physical activities aren't sexual. But they ARE intimate. Here, after a long day's work on the farm, they held each other to keep each other warm at night. Just her skin against Rugtla's silky fur. And well...it was one of the happiest moments of her life.

Thank ya so much dude!

Funny thing, before I wasn't quite sure where to go with Rugtla's character. Well, aside from being a tag-along for Tara, didn't know what to do with her.

Shows what I know! Relationship upgrades really stir your curiosity! XD

Yes it does! xD I mean, you COULD'VE made Rugtla into the 'super loyal best friend of the main character' but this turn of events is actually way better ^^ Gives more personality to Tara! Not to mention more support after what happened with that random Wollabac in the Brain-blaster incident.

And hey, I haven't really been present these days, so how are you? xD

Yeeeeeeah. I figure that a lot of anime series that have a high-school girl lead tend to play around a with romantic/homosexual subtext. I mean I've seen that a LOT.

In this case, I'm enjoying Tara and Rugtla's dynamic a lot better because they actually play their same-sex relationship seriously! ^^

In any case, I'm doing pretty good! Just allowing myself to do a lot of different things at a time, so as not to keep myself interested and active.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that xD Pretty sure a lot of people still like it, me included! xD

And yeah, from what I read, Tara and Rugtla really look like, well, a real couple together! I've seen either the 'purely sexual relationship' or the 'overly lovey-dovey/sappy relationship' wayyy too many times... This makes for a good change xD

Doing many things at the same time is actually a pretty good idea.. That way, you probably won't become tired by any of your projects! Have you been continuing your rp's or do you prefer to focus on your characters or world-building stuff?

Awww! This is super cute, Tipsy! I love how you put down neither of them a "femme" or "butch" since I've seen that stereotype a lot.


I think I'll draw a picture on my own of Tara and Rugtla spending time together. ^^

Yay! Thank ya dude!

I think my whole goal with all this was to avoid any such stereotypes and tropes that would make their relationship seem less valid. Neither of them are playing the butch or femme. Neither of them are going to be revealed as straight in the last second. It's not going to be played as a cheap joke. There is no "Girl on Girl is Hot" titillation here.

They just love each other. And you know...I really like that. ^^

I want to make a pussy joke here, but this is too beautiful for that.

Heheh, I imagine feline aliens get pussy jokes a lot. The "GEE, never heard that one before" kind of reaction. XD

Although I'm pretty proud of the fact that Tara and Rugtla's relationship is completely valid and serious! No "Bait-and-Switch Lesbian", or "Hide Your Gays" trope here!

Dont use the airbrush tool for shading dude. Try cell shading, it would look way better.

Hmm! Cell shading alway's been a bit of a tricky spot for me, so I might need to work on that a bit.
