I’ve been reading this webcomic since 2014 and I’m proud of that. I’m proud to say that I’ve witnessed such a cute relationship develop between these two characters. Lillian, nicknamed ‘lazy-tyke’ for self-explanatory reasons, is a writer who gets a new roommate. Her name is ‘Roomie’, and she’s a fun-loving eccentric girl who could probably drink Valkyrie (MCU) under the table.

The story is a series of self-contained four-panel comics. There’s usually a theme going on for each chapter, sometimes focusing more on other characters like Richard & Ramona. The themes can range from gender identities to relationship boundaries. While I’m mainly going to be talking about the Romillian ship, I did want to give a nod to how everyone gets time for development.

Now, getting back to the main characters, I love how they gradually become more romantic with one another. Roomie’s sexual innuendos at the start made Lillian blush or roll her eyes depending on how ‘descriptive’ they were. As the two interact more and more, Lillian becomes more accustom to her friend’s lewd jokes. At the same time, Roomie never actually pressures Lillian into a sexual relationship. It’s not a matter of ‘wearing a person down until they say yes’ either.


(x)
Lillian being more of an introversive realist has her own funny lines and reactions to the wild antics from the people around her. She doesn’t participate in Roomie’s drinking. She initiates the kiss that begins the slow burn romance but doesn’t demand she and Roomie hook up. She does express some grievances with Roomie like her heavy drinking and being naked during less than ideal times, but the key word here is ‘space’.


(x)
Roomie is a flirt that doesn’t like labels and Lillian is okay with that. At worst, Lillian has had to ask Roomie to clarify if they were a couple or not. Which they were. Lillian doesn’t like public places or exerting a lot of energy and Roomie doesn’t make her. She nudges her in the direction of company and coming out of her shell without prying her or gaslighting her. A joke here, and a word of encouragement there. They respect these things about one another and my favorite thing is just them…talking.


(x)
Roomie talking about her latest hippie adventure. Lillian telling Roomie about her dreams. Roomie’s charming attitude is inviting and really entertaining to watch. Which helps when she’s bouncing off of Lillian’s chill ‘do I have to’ vibe. It’s a sort of ‘red/blue’ relationship that I enjoy where it’s a matter of helping the other improve their faults, but not by shaming them. They both give one another their space but don’t really enable the other’s negatives.

It’s humorous, it’s sexy, it’s cute, and it’s just fantastic. 
Go Get a Roomie is my favorite webcomic and it’s because of these two adorable lesbians.

Aaron's Top 5: Pokemon Gym Leaders

Gym leaders, the trainers in charge of seeing if the player is worthy of moving on the region’s league. They range from goofy (Wake) to intimidating (Chuck), to flushed out and engaging (Elesa) to ‘I hate you’ (Grant). In any other game, their called ‘Boss battles’. Here, they’re called Gym battles. Either way, I’m listing the ones that I consider to be absolute bosses. 5: Korrina, Kalos A gym leader that you face before and after the gym battle. Hey! That’s pretty cool! Like most of the Kalos gym leaders, she isn’t that hard to beat. Korrina’s Meinfoo was able to land a few hits but I’m putting her on for her place in the story.  Gen 6 introduced mega stones which is basically a power boost and Korrina did a great job easing the gamer into the concept. Being a gym leader, it makes sense that she’d be trusted with that power. Plus she’s related to the ‘master of mega evolution’. Korrina makes sure you deserve the power she’s giving you along with a Lucario. What I like is ...

Aaron's Review: El Tigre-The Adventures of Manny Rivera

I…have no problems with this show. No seriously. This is straight up one of my favorite shows. I liked it as a kid. So, when I rewatched it as an adult, I figured my opinion would be lowered a little. Nostalgia goggles and all. I am so happy it still holds up. Guys, Gals, & Non-Binary Pals, this is Animated-Aaron’s Review of ‘El Tigre-The Adventures of Manny Rivera’ !Set-up! Explained as a part of the intro, Manny Rivera is the son of superhero ‘White Pantera’ and is the grandson of super villain ‘Puma Loco’. Thus, he’s constantly trying to be a hero but is tempted to do villainous things. Or, he uses tactics a villain would in order to stop other villains. Either way, the show is about him going back and forth between being good and bad. !The Story! There is so much creativity put into these 11 minute A & B stories. Manny is either trying to live up to his father’s respectable reputation or enjoy being like his crime loving grandfather. There’s an epi...
