…I’d critique Carla’s prosopagnosia, but I’d have to assume she’s not QUITE to Marky Bark levels, just self-absorbed, and maybe Willis-style doesn’t account for fine differences that would *just* push her face over to “I don’t know this person”
(although, spouse managed to confuse SIL by wearing a green wig, THAT I can critique a bit)
If that were meant literally, rather than a nickname for this presentation, why would it be prosopagnosia on Carla’s part? I doubt either notion’s correct, though.

plus this chara has boobs, unless booster is nonbinary in the also ‘gender fluid’ way and decided to not wear a binder for this class but i think their hair was too short to make it stylized too diff than the way they usually wear it
I was saying sure, they’re DRAWN similarly, but style could mean the difference between Nicholas Cage and David Schwimmer isn’t evident, so idk if it’s ACTUALLY they’re just different enough to look like different people entirely or a “Danny kicked himself for not noticing Sal vs. Walky” thing
Prosopagnosia? I don’t think that’s Booster or a relative, I think she just kinda looks like them in this comic’s highly stylized art style. Honestly, my first thought was “the new Amber.”
Counterpoint: iirc Booster already said they have a twin sister, and unless there’s an error in the tags, this is not Booster.
Heavensrun
Well, to be totally fair, if it was Booster, but we weren’t meant to recognize them because they’re presenting differently, he probably would also not put that in the tags until after the reveal.
“oh, sorry, i’ve been living with a trans person who won’t shut up about how they know everything for the past eighteen years, so this is all just white noise to me”
they do have similar lips/hair color, tho tbh i always thought booster’s two toned lips were because of lipstick/makeup rather than ‘natural’ b/c joyce mentioned it once when they were introduced
King Daniel
Could be Boosister uses the same lipstick/makeup?
anon
even as twins, other than booster somehow not feeling confident to buy their own makeup, ifeel like they’d wanna look distinct/diff from their twin as an lgbt person (tho i imagine depending on their closeness/convenience that a lot of twins would try to make themselves look distinct from each other)
Clif
Notice how effortlessly she(?) pulls Carla’s strings.
Mike is going to be so busy being Jennifer, Booster and their sister.
Thag Simmons
Eh… I don’t think so.
More likely they just both have big pouty lips naturally.
anon
yeah ,prolly genetic though i think the two toned coloring other than it being an artistic choice would be lipstick and not natural, i think the only chara i can think of is sarah with ‘fuller’ lips that’s also slightly two toned but it’s redder leaning to where it looks more like makeup? It’s kinda hard to tell because i don’t think most other charas wear any kinda noticeable makeup if at all
Unless Booster suddenly grew boobs or wears a padded/stuffed bra, definitely not Booster.
Proxiehunter
Well, I assume that if this were Booster they would be tagged. But do we know that Booster isn’t possessed of boobs and normally wearing a binder? I don’t know enough about binders to know if wearing their shirt open at the top would mean we’d noticed their binder.
All I know for sure is that Booster is rooming in the male wing, but that could be because Booster is more comfortable in the male wing than the female one.
Because this new character resembles Booster, I’mma just assume the thing on her phone that’s more enthralling than Carla (the very idea) is the same fanfic Amber just posted.
One day, when Amber goes the E.L. James route and becomes a bestselling pronomancer, she will attend a signing and discover that her entire fanbase inexplicably resembles Booster.
I recognize it’s probably for the best that you can’t post images in the comments, but for the record I want you to know I made a meme on Frinkiac of Hans Moleman saying “I was saying Boosister” and I’m disappointed I can’t share it here so I’ll just post the link here: https://frinkiac.com/meme/S06E18/1054102/m/SSB3YXMgc2F5aW5nLAogImJvby1zaXN0ZXIuIg==
Not paying attention to Carla is required when she’s just performatively trying to insult you to get a rise out of some other person you also don’t know.
LOL I wonder if booster’s age was mentioned, maybe compared to walky as a roommate, other than some of the issues/attitude they took towards handling certain situation, i would’ve assumed booster was older or at least the same age rather than being a freshman (then again i suppose you could be older AND a freshman depending on when you start college)
how can i tell if you’re you?
who could discern ‘tween the two?
is it a scandal to be seen
without your doppelganger?
me i’d try to lose ‘m
but it gets so damn confusing
and i can’t remember which one to fight.
is it me or my wicked twin
in the mirror of the night?

My money’s on booster being gender fluid, and changing presentation as convenient.
WillowD
That looks like a female version of Booster. I wonder if Booster has a twin sister. Or maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Booster has a twin, they mentioned it in one of their early appearances back when they found out about Sal.

Depends on the binder.
Opus the Poet
This is Indiana and Booster is living in the boys’ side of the dorm, that’s about the best clue we have that they are AMAB.
Thag Simmons
Carla’s in the girl dorms and Zaph is in the boy dorms, so the school is clearly accommodating trans students.

Their heads are a different shape and this new character’s hair is longer.

Not Booster, but also not necessarily not Booster’s sister.

Pretty sure an inebriated baboon would write better fan-fic than E. L. James. Amber is notably more advanced than that.

If it is Boosister, they’re twins. Based on DYW’s, Boosister is the older by a few minutes, and that’s an issue somehow for Booster.
