"Nice" is relative. For Faye, this IS nice.
She *is* being nice.
Tune in next week when we hear Faye say, “Okay you make a Dang good coffee.”
That's a sign Dora needs to put in the window.
Anh Dang it
Now I'm picturing a "James Bond" sort of thing... Dang it. *Anh* Dang it.
This is your reminder about Anh, specifically about Anh's name, which is spelled "Anh". Not "Ahn" but "Anh".
The ONLY way I remember it is this way: Her name ends with an h.
I hope you give credit to James the Seventh for the Trauma Olympics line.
Having around someone, let alone her love, who is immune to threats of violence, has been good for Faye.
But not immune to *all* threats. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3667
Somehow I like Bubbles more after that. Although Bubbles has always been one of the best characters in the strip.
I basically agree with Faye that Anh does have a whole “everything”* going on at the moment, which does make it more difficult for those around her. Ahn is a bit of an emotional labor sink/investment currently. I don’t think I agree with Bubbles’ assessment that calling out such facts is necessarily even an insult. *this ambiguous wording need not be taken to mean every part of Ann’s personality is unlikeable
Yeah, the people around her even have difficulty spelling her name right.
Come on now, Faye. Calling Anh “it” is taking it a bit far
Next week: Steve is undercover in Iran and enjoys a Sobhaneh with a follower of Zoroastrianism out in the rural areas of Iran.
Even after googling Sobhaneh, it took me a moment to realize how funny that is.
Now give her a big hug, Faye. You know she needs one.
And then give Bubbles two. It's the rules. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4178
Insult or not, Faye just admitted caring about Anh. And expressed sympathy via light physical contact.
And Bubbles forgot that the explicit stuff is supposed to be Patrons only.
Waiting for Faye to say something nice to Ahn, and her throat locks up.

Holy crow. This doesn't have anything to do with this particular day's comic, but I've been reading through from the beginning again, and I just got to the one where Claire is introduced! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2203. (And Emily, of course.) I just had to share my excitement.
From such humble beginnings would rise the greatest power in the QCverse... The Librarian
Wait, i thought insults were a form of affection.
As long as the person on the receiving end understands that they're given affectionately. If the receiver doesn't know this -- then it can backfire badly. So make sure the receiver understands that the teasing is done with affection. It's important.
Unfortunately the last panem is the relationship situation at my workplace.
You know what Ahn needs? A girlfriend. Tai could introduce her around.
Anh needs to work on herself first. A lot.
Couching one's affection in insults is not great, but perhaps better than insulting one's couch with affection.
Couchagedon
"I am never complaining about my shit ever again!" "You should complain about your fecal matter. It is not healthy to hold in complaints, just as it is not healthy to hold in feces."
Scatological anal-ogies!
Well, you know what they say, kneecap them with kindness...
"Always ready to lend you a helping foot"
If we can't raz the people we care about, WHAT IS THE POINT OF CARING ABOUT PEOPLE?!
DANG it?
Dang Dang!
“Mean with good intentions” isn’t the same as nice?
Nope. Sorry.
more annoying in the short run, much easier in the long run
Awnh Dangit...
Ahnward!
Et tu, Bubbles?
So who, between Faye & Bubbles, is the gold medalist at the Trauma Olympics? Both their experiences are so horrific, I shudder to compare them.
Both of them have deep unresolved traumas that are not only horrific but, by their very nature, deny them even the possibility of closure. Tell ya what, let's just call it a draw.
It is official. Bubbles and Faye may now join the Goblin Adopters chat. Anh is now THEIR goblin.
Isn't Bubbles already a member? I believe she was chatting about Anh here: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5716
Yes, Bubbles, Faye *must* couch her affection in insults.
It's like a speech impediment. Is that ableist? I don't mean to be ableist.
Bubbles issues executive override.
It's somewhat effective!
sudo be nice to baby
"Ugh, fine. Creating nice_list .txt..." https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2713
No, Faye, not "Dang it". "Anh Dang it."
dAnhg it..
Faye, you’re playing weasel words about what an A.I. said in the hearing of said A.I. I’ve never spoken with an AI and even I know that’s dumb.
Which is a major difference between _their_ A.I. and _our_ A.I. Ours will change words no problem all easy like.
Aw, if she was *really* being mean you would know. Mild insults are how Faye shows affection. (I would provide references for this fact, but I don't think Patreon will allow me to link every single comic she's ever been in)
1. Ain't nobody got time for that. 2. The internet would collapse.
The spirit ANHD the letter. Fixed it.
Ahn's hair needs to be studied by the geniuses at Cubetown cause it's so expressive
Dear Ms. Dang, We at Cubetown's Department of Anime Trope Research are conducting a study into the underlying cause of the Ahoge Phenomenon. Upon seeing your recent video posts, we have identified you as a prime candidate for study.
So she is kept in check by her mate?
A fool's gambit.
"Now my name is a verb?"
I don't get this
I love how 'her' could apply to either Faye or Anh.
What? Are we seeing the same strip?
DAnhg it.
Bubbles, WHO trimmed your bangs?
She does it herself. Using highly specialized equipment. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3852
Faye is such a little gremlin. I'm glad she's got bubbles to keep her tethered ♥️
