DON'T BLOW THIS AMANDA

SHUSH AMANDA
HERE FOR THE SUBTLE FAYE BLUSHES
And yet somehow Amanda manages to hold in the *SNRK*, even at risk of blowing out her throat. ;)
*squeeing incoherently in delight*
I adore this comic.
Careful about dropping a bomb, Evie - it might go yuri-nuclear.
I expect this arc to end with Faye *not* getting romantic with Bubbles. She's had male lovers in the past; why should she suddenly discover she's bi or gay?
Because ... that's a thing people sometimes suddenly discover about themselves? Being raised in the south probably helped subconsciously suppress the idea of being bi. Also, the whole AI/human thing kinda overshadows the gender situation. I don't think we've yet seen how the QC universe general society feels about that.
I'm not sure Evie is good. Maybe chaotic neutral.
Well, that officially makes Faye the densest object known to man - along with Castela from Wapsi Square...
Now that I read this again when I haven’t just watched a late-night college basketball game that went to overtime, that third to last panel with Faye is rather interesting. I wonder what’s going through her mind at that point. (Also, it sort reminds me of when Bubbles obliterated some punching bags...)
I don't know if Jedi Mind Tricks work on Faye... or given the running Dune references, should that be The Voice?
This is just so damn delightful.
Amanda is going to do herself an injury at this rate.
Or, you know, Faye will do damage do her.
Pintsize is recording all this. Terror shall ensue.
I actually admire Amanda's restraint in a way. She's giggling but it could be a lot worse. (Cue the next strip where it's a lot worse.)
I still maintain that this doesn't necessarily need to end up with them getting together. Not everybody's life needs to revolve around romantic relationships. Then again, I'm reading QC, so I know better.
Agreed, to me so far Faye has been expressing a close BFF bond which is great. And it is normal to feel jealous sharing that attention with future significant others. That doesn't indicate sexual attraction though, and I don't recall Faye hinting at that. It's fine if the ship does sail, but I hope they don't try to force it to be something that maybe it is not.
I'm sure "Pay no attention to Amanda" is a semi-recurring phrase in their relationship.
A sign of a true relationship. Me thinks we'll be seeing these two get married one day. :3
Amanda choking on her laughter is cute, but I’m really into Intense Evie.
DAMMIT, AMANDA! DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME!
Don't you dare make this so awkward Evie that Bubbles feels the need to get away from it all because she's not used to expressing "feels"
I really love Amanda in these strips, mainly because Jeph is doing such a splendid job with her facial expressions and body language. In this strip she's just SO CUTE!!!
Alright finally a story line that made me pledge for early comics. I've been rooting for these two from jump
Dammit Amanda!!!!
C'mon Amanda, your sister is opening up about a unique bond she's developed with a close friend because they'd both been through some traumatic loss! I want them to smooch too, but the giggling is kinda not cool!
Well her sister is oblivious to her feelings for a girl, speaking as a gay sister I'd be giggling in the same situation.
Jeph, these are so awesome! Thanks!
JEPH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US
Is that a *blush*?
Depends who you're referring to! Faye certainly is, but her sister is trying not to explode.
The comic could progress 3x faster if Evie was around all the time to make people sort out their feelings.
I'm going to be extremely annoyed if this storyline doesn't end with Faye determining how she feels about Bubbles. Whether she decides she wants their relationship or platonic is fine with me, I just want her to decide one way or the other.
What's Steve up to, anyway?
Steve is behind Amanda and Evie, eating cereal, and is about to turn around and spoil the atmosphere by shouting, "I wear a wig now!"
I'm gonna guess now: Faye is gonna realize her feelings, but before she can tell Bubbles, Bubbles will be really upset about something and be cold and withdrawn. I'm guessing that Evie's intrusiveness will have something to do with it
I imagine it might be awkward if Faye's breakthrough is prompted by the same person who was so insensitivity analytical toward Bubbles.
I like how Evie is approaching this, although psychoanalysis as a plot device to stretch this out until Friday is a little weird.
Well, remember, this is already Thursday.
