Alright so I've been pretty depressed lately so I told myself that I NEEDED to do something to get myself out of my funk hah

So here's this
I got a new pen and new markers so that was fun

*projection intensifies*

She looks great. oAo

I'm so sorry about your funk. :< If you ever need to talk, lemme know, I'd be happy to give you my tumblr!

This is more so a sort of joking fun thing, but yeah, I don't really like Abbey. I never liked him to start with (as I had a Paulo love bias when I first read BCB) and my opinion for him is still worsening. Although I gotta admit, Paulo is getting more and more annoying as the comic goes on.

Actually, I think I should explain why I don't like Abbey, even though I don't really like Paulo anymore. Because Augustus is a thing. Both of them have a really, REALLY bad background, with Abbey witnessing his biological father abusing his biological mother, and Augustus' parents are deadbeat drunks who don't do anything for him, so I'd say that they're pretty even. Hell, Augustus' situation is probably worse, as he's still probably blackmailed by Alehandro to do his bidding. Yet Augustus dosen't get pissy and violent like Abbey does. I mean, it might be because Augustus hasn't been in any situations that we've seen that Abbey may have been in, like having to protect someone he really cares about, but I'm pretty sure that Augustus would probably react better to those kinds of situations that Abbey would. Thinking over it, if Augustus didn't exist, I might be able to relate with Abbey more, but I just can't. Augustus is really growing on me, and is becoming one of my favorite characters

'gus doesnt get pissy like abbey does' 2 year age gap and not everyone responds to trauma the same way. maturity happens differently for everyone and thats not an excuse for abbey to go choking around anyone who looks at his girlfriend too long but at least take into consideration that people are different and 2 entirely different characters arent going to act the same just cause they had a bad home life

hate whoever you want all you want lol but at least back up your claims with more thought. gus reacts better to situations cause hes been in more situations where he HAD to act calmly, more situations that if he didnt choose his words right he couldve been seriously injured. abbeys a dumb kid who needs a wake up call, and dont worry, im positive hes getting it this chapter

@toreesucks Oh yeah, those are good points. Hmmm... I still do like Augustus better.

Yeah, seeing how this chapter is going so far, Abbey's definitely gpnna get that wake-up call

"Gus doesn't get pissy like Abbey does"
You're right - he only intentionally manipulated the girl he loves into being humiliated so that he could make a move on her. He only tried to force a kiss on her when she was clearly afraid and uncomfortable.
Abbey is violent, but he's going through therapy, and contrary to what people seem to think, he is improving. He's only been in therapy for about 9 months, which is actually nothing - some people are in therapy for 10 years before seeing improvement.
What Abbey did was wrong, but it's not because he's "pissy" - he's a 15 year old kid with emotional issues who Paulo has bullied since day one. It doesn't justify what Abbey did, I wish he hadn't done it, but its not as simple as "abbeys violent".
You can "hate" who you want, but don't pretend Augustus is perfect when he's done plenty of horrible shit to people.

@kaynime well if you think about it Augustus hasn't had the best experience with relationships. Getting kissed out of the blue and then sleeping together might send a 13 year old mixed messages on how to start a relationship. Im not saying that Augustus is perfect, but he learned from his mistakes and I hope Abby does too.

@fattyfrog - you're right - i do like both characters and I hope they improve

"We hate Abbey??"

OH YOU WANNA GO M8? YOU WANNA GET REKT? IM GONNA REK YOU. COME AT ME M8!

Quick Paulo
Hes my favorite character!

love how u use lines + how u shaded paulos tips!!!! rly nice!!!!

good!!!!

sloppy gay cats drawn to help myself relax.

;__; oh jeez ur style is so excellent.. i love that soft feel it gives off

I love this Especially Augustus' expression in the bottom left after seeing Lucy, it's actually genuine surprise.

"Don't touch me"

Don't touch the child!

Who's Touching the child!

@videogamer
AWW thank you!! you were faster than me ///
its mostly just me being sad over the hate these poor cats get tho !
it gets a little unsettling sometimes //sweats

abbey will always be best boy in my heart ;~;

these colors are so nice!!

@Kenketsu
Ah, I see. Well, I don't really like Abbey either, but yeah, I can imagine the hate that could come to him on the facebook page.

The hate these beautiful boys get is unacceptable! They're trying their hardest. I love it when good artists create art that sympathises with them. The way he's guarding his throat along with the thorn crown... wonderful

Abbey can be a sweet guy and all, but some actions are not justifiable.

Really nice drawing though!

@Waldo
oh no, im definitely not justifying him!
however, there's not a single cat in this comic that hasn't made mistakes before
i won't go into too much depth about it but
i just think everything's being too black and white rn, and no one deserves the kind of hate abbey and mike are getting imo

unless ur idk, alejandro
but even then i'd be willing to understand his character (y)

@everyone else
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
im so glad im not the only one that sympathizes with this poor child

aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE>THIS SO MUCH HFGHDHB TH COLORS ARE SO GOOD TOGETHER AND UR STYLE IS SO NICE TO LOOK AT IM GONNA SCREAM!!!!!!!!! a+ a+ a+ a+ a+ a+

This is a great picture! Really captures Abbey's inner conflict with his emotions well.

Maybe not exactly like me. But I've definetly got her personality.

Holy cow, this was a trial to complete!
But it's done! And it's really, really long! If you're totally okay with reading the ramblings of a fanatic (I tried my hardest to make it as objective/warily subjective as possible), or wanna see someone else's opinion on certain parts of Model Girlfriend, then please, check it out!
Also if this should be tagged as anything else then please go ahead and edit the tags, because I'm not 100% sure with this sort of thing. Thank you, and the link is in the source!

Kittens! ♡

I disagree with the sentiments expressed here but this is very insightful and well written! I would look forward to it if you plan to make more chapter review type things.
