Always Quicksave Before Important Dialog
cute hanners :3

Conversation Trees are interesting. I planted one in my front yard and the damn thing won't shut up. It throws some pretty decent shade, though
I hope your dialogue with it is fruitful, at least.
As an ace identifying male myself, this strip hits sooooooooo close to home. I love it!
It's important to remember that "obvious" isn't the same as "obvious in retrospect". Like, it's easy to see a subtle pattern once you're already clued in, but getting that clue is often astonishingly difficult the first time. It's not that she was obviously ace to all of her friends, it was just that as soon as someone says it, it clicks into place for everyone.
Conversation trees are so helpful
So even though she might be ace, we can agree that this is most likely a new idea from Jeph, yeah? I know that, for instance, her yaoi interest and interest in sexy fireman novels doesn't stop her from being ace, but the way it was written back in the day hints that she wasn't intended to be ace back then.
Hanners sexuality aside, as a VN addict this strip was very welcoming
I categorised her as Aegosexual, she enjoys sexual fantasies (sexy firemen) but has no wish to act on it
true but that is a subsec of Asexuality
Everybody is taking this at face value, but like... is Hanners actually ace? She seems like she's *entertaining* the idea, but Ayo jumped to that conclusion very quickly and Ayo is... Ayo.
She seems happy with the title. I'm happy if she's happy!
”Hiyo Ayo” into ”Hey Faye” is funny.
Is that helping me remember how to pronounce "Ayo" or just complicating it further? We'll see!
My new insurance is incredibly insistent that i register for their family planning benefits
Welcome to the Ace community Hanners!
Very cute
Libraries are the fucking best. 💜💜💜
Tai knows the places in the stacks with the best privacy for that.
oh shit were DOIN it
Correct, Ayo, everyone needs a library card
Although I'd give it less than a week until she gets thrown out for talking ;-)
Faye doing the correct response is good.
Sometimes Jeph makes a comic that makes me have a big ol' beaming smile and this is one of them.
"It's nice to have friends who understand"
Awww I am so happy about this! Squee! She's so cute!
As a fellow Ace (well, Demi, but spectrum etc etc), "Yeah that tracks" was my exact reaction lol
Hanners makes me silly, she's SO FUCKING CUTE!
Hanners is still my top favorite of the QC characters

Oh Hannalore! I feel it so much. I was still figuring out my sexuality, and by the time I'd figured out I was Ace I had had a child. (No partner, just had the kid) When I came out to my best friend, the first thing they said to me was 'No you're not'.
Oof, yeah those conversations are always frustrating. I still get the "you'll change your mind eventually" attitude from my dad occasionally. I'm fortunate that most of my friends reactions were more along the lines of "ummm, yeah, we noticed."
Continuing the run of extra adorable faces with Hannelore 🥰🥰
Now, I'm old and not up on all the lingo, but I thought Ace meant no interest in sex at all? I know Hanners has no interest in having sex herself, but she does appear to be interested in the fantasy stuff.
As with most things in life, Ace / Asexuality is a spectrum and can be expressed in different ways.
I hope Ayo finds that friend that will plainly but firmly tell her to stop talking for her own sake. As someone with ADHD they are life savers
Welp, fair enough. I've consistently resisted other people applying the "ace" label to Hanners. It just never seemed like quite the right fit to me, and indeed still feels a bit off. But I'm not in the habit of arguing with people's choice of their *own* identity, even fictional people, and if she says she's ace then she's ace. I concede defeat on this point.
Agreed. I've argued against that label as well, but there's no arguing with the individual herself.
I remember my brother having a similar response to Faye when I told him I was Demi, like "Oh neat, you still want to come to dinner right?"
So Hanners is now Alastor.
Nah, she's more like Octavia. Rich family, space heiress, absolute bitch of a mother.
Too bad she doesn't know any librarians...
There's a spectrum there too - some librarians are the most fun people I know, and some are ****** not.
Save options before conversations would be _awesome_. How do I submit a feedback request for that?
I would need a large buffer and an undo history dropdown
Speaking as a transgender lesbian, nothing in the world makes me madder than people telling me how brave and valid I am
There are plenty of sexy fireman books, such as Fahrenheit 452: "Montag filled the room with his hot spray..."
Don't forget the absolute classic: "A Fire In His Loins" https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2958
... and now through the magic of implied rhyme, I realize that I've been mentally mispronouncing Ayo's name ☺️
I was wondering when I saw Faye's greeting, but she might be doing a not-quite-rhyme.
Woo, ace person! \o/
This is freaking adorable
Jeez Ayo, learn the lore!
That's Hanners' alternate nickname: The 'lore.
Too bad they don't know any librarians.
Ooh, yeah, they should go talk to Old Gus! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2222
i love you faye!!!!!
Unfortunately with Tai on honeymoon and Marten gone, Ayo may not be able to get into the Victorian pornography collection...

I had almost exactly the same conversation with a friend once, where I played the part of Faye
Low key: "that tracks" is crazy supportive.
Fortunately, Faye had an ace up her sleeve to see Hanners' ace.
"Having fun isn't hard... if you've got a library card!"
Panel one, Hanners' or Hanner's?
Since "Hanners" is her nickname, I think it should be "Hanners'". (Or possibly "Hanners's".)
My quicksave function is broken. My regular save is, too. That's one of the myriad reasons my life is shitty and I prefer games.
My favourite Scott Pilgrim joke that didn't make it in to the movie is Scott noticing a save point in the corner of the room too late before his ex enters the room
to smif!
The more you know. Rainbows!
And after she's whetted her appetite with books there's a USB drive with more.
And few local authors to learn about
Ayo, how do you not have a library card?!
Maybe she never really ventured off campus when she was a student? Not even to the public library that's across the street? (at least it is in our Northampton)
Hell yeah you do, everyone should have one. Libraries are vital to every community
Awwwww, this is so sweet
