    And here is what a truly just parent does. No mater when you find out something, you will be judged for it, even if it is a decade in the past.

      Atsali should be in her 20s, in college, in another country.
      Judgement will probably be a little toothless…

      …Then again, Kath is a high-ranking member of the MIB… She has resources most Mom’s don’t have at her disposal. We may see something surprisingly over-the-top. 😛

        Three names, in full mom voice.

        “You’re still grounded!”

        Of course, from what we saw, it was literal sleeping . . .

        Isn’t Castela grounded by default? Would this make her supergrounded?

      Yes, but for who: Atsali for lying about it all, or Castella for knowing about it and remaining silent

        Any parent that demands a child rat out a sibling deserves what they get. Cas did what sisters do: protect each other.
        My brothers and sisters may have fought, but NOBODY was dumb enough to step between us or demand one of us tattle on the others.
        Maybe it’s a Southern U.S. thing?

      they found some nice eggnog, and continued ‘just innocent girly messing about’ not realizing it was ‘alcoholic’ !!!

      so ***hours** later when they wake up, bad rumors spread about why they did not get back to dorm…

      not the first time you did **nothing** and just fell asleep… buuuut.. :/

    I remember that. I’m lucky enough to have the two panels of the day after. I have them hanging in my living room. It when Atsali is reading the ingredients on the back of the eggnog carton.

    Cat. Bag. Release therefrom.

    Conspiratorial concealment? Sisterly honor? Abrupt betrayal of confidence?

    This is going to be as subject to multiple interpretations as “Rashamon”.

    Not that Pickle got the facts wrong, just the connotations of the term “Slept together”, not that it is going to save her sister from the wrath of Mom for lying about how many people were there that weekend.
    A point even we were unaware of until now.

    The second after you accidentally run your mouth and rat out your older sibling and think ” Who is going to kill me first? Mom for not telling her this before. Atsali for letting this secret out screwing her over. Or me for what I just said. Because I just really fuck up “

    At the time, Atsali & Nadette didn’t know that they were getting drunk, and a big deal was made by Atsali that the legal drinking age of paras is 16:

    So what?

    I hope Kath gets some sense slapped into her from someone, at some point. Teenagers have sex, and so the heavy snogging between Cas and Shawna is a massive nothing burger.

    And Atsali is older than Monica was at the start of the comic now, so it’ll be a sour thing to see Kath try to impose punishment/shame on her.

    I’m agreeing with a couple other people, I hope Kath doesn’t go nuclear about this. Very little actually happened during that sleepover AND Atsali is now an adult. If Kath tries to impose any punishment or go off, Atsali is fully within her rights to tell mom to f off and cut contact until Kath calms down. (Speaking from a bit of experience in this kind of situation, sometimes you just have to tell mom to knock it off and you won’t speak to her until she can be civil about the situation.)

    Houston, we have a problem!

    The little stinkweed really put her foot in the fertiliser this time. Let’s hope that she has enough of the facts (namely that it was a case of accidental intoxication via eggnog on the part of the two goobers, not deliberate drunkenness, and that nothing naughty happened as they were out like lights) to do some damage control…

    “It was at this moment that young Castela realized…she done fucked up.”

    June 24, 2021, 8:21 pm | # | Reply

    So…why is this a big deal? Seriously.

    As I see it, there are 3 basic causes for legitimate parental concern about their child’s sex life: 1-risk of pregnancy, 2-danger of STDs, 3-possible abuse if the other party is dishonest/cruel/much older/etc. Pretty much any other reason is misplaced, regardless of the justification. Teenagers are still people, possessed of their own bodily autonomy.

    Castela probably CAN’T reproduce sexually – she’s the only member of her species, she’s a plant, and she’s apparently immortal and virtually indestructible – producing offspring isn’t necessary for her role in continued existence. (And as for Atsali, while her situation may have been much less…unusual…she was still dating a girl, so getting knocked up – or getting someone else pregnant – wasn’t a concern for her either).

    Castela being a unique being means the chances of ANY sort of disease transmission are VANISHINGLY low – her biology is simply too different from any of her peers. And in Atsali’s case, she was involved with someone her own age and level of experience (i.e. none), so both could be reasonably presumed clean.

    And both Castela and Atsali before her are/were involved with peers of their own emotional maturity level, with whom they were friends first. There were no dangerous power dynamic imbalances in play, and no risk of deliberate malice.

    Teenagers need to explore what sex means for them just like they need to explore every other part of becoming an adult. A parent’s job is to try to help them do that with a reasonable level of safety, not determine when or how they’re ready to do it. Yeah, mistakes and pain will happen – that’s how people learn.

      TL;DR, but never mind body and repro issues, but ‘Bad rumors’ are the damaging factors… for parents as well!!

      I remind that this is supernatural… so any thing could happen!! including ‘exposure’ in the ‘normal’ world, the source of superstition, and hate…:(
