Booty!
"I'm gonna be dumb and weird and fuck up a lot." My perminate disclaimer in relationships. Too damn relatable..
I'll be over here grinning like an idiot
I love this all so much.
DROID 06 SQUEEEEE CAUSE WIDESPREAD PROPERTY DAMAGE
Okay, I actually NEED that one
I'm using that line from now on.
*gregorian chant* SQUEEEEEE...
How *would* a gregorian squee sound though?
If anyone is wondering how much of a squee-boy I've become over Faybles, here is the face of my Apple Watch: <a href="https://flic.kr/p/27qq7YB" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/p/27qq7YB</a> Every time I need a quick shot of Faybles goodness, it's right there on my wrist. #AnyTimeIsFayblesTime
*fist bump* The other day my iPhone home screen became this. <a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DeNuI0mXcAEgKgJ.jpg:large" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DeNuI0mXcAEgKgJ.jpg:large</a>
Are they going to do that nose-touch thing a lot? I'm asking, because if I need to buy SQUEEE in bulk, it would help to be able to plan ahead.
In my headcanon they will never not do it.
Ah, found it. Here's why I think Angus will be OK with this development.

Also note Pintsize's freakishly prescient reply.
Can I just say THE FACE HOLD! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE FACE HOLD! *melts again*
FUCKING SAAAAAMMMMEEEE
Whelp. Gonna be staring at this and grinning all day. Thanks Jeph.
Way better than any plot found in “Detroit: Being Human.”
I need to get my squee filter replaced.
You should always replace your squee filter every 500 strips or one year of reading, whichever comes first.
I think we all know what you mean, Bubs... and I think that feeling is mutual...
This feels like a beginning of something new and beautiful. Previous strip felt like a perfect ending for an arc, and this one is not about "how we got here", but "where to now?". All that happened before this strip feels now like a deep, interesting and beautiful story, but here it is over, and now something new has begun, something real and... alive.
This is a significant turning point in the story. It ranks up there with Marty and Dora becoming a couple, or Dora firing Faye.
I must just reiterate JEPH I LOVE YOU 😍😍😍😍
I really love how Jeph uses 'Data-speak' for Bubbles - never use colloquialisms and never use one word when you can use five. It makes her funny but it also makes her identity as a Synthetic that much more authentic and believable.
...and the way she lampshades it and plays with people's expectations is *adorable*.
the Faye'scar on the 2nd image have disapear. It's probably a mistake, but I love the symbolisme of that. Ok, no mistake. juste an happy accident.
I don't think her scar goes up that high? I could totes be mistaken tho!
i never want this scene to end
These two are very, very sweet together, aren't they? Still, at least they're going into this without blinkers or rose-coloured lenses. Faye is a seriously messed-up kid and can't be honestly expected to make rational or even right decisions under pressure. Bubbles is equally messed up and, frankly, probably is making up 'social interaction' as she goes along. So, yeah, there are going to be some serious head-on crashes along the way.
True. Honestly, the only thing I think will get them through those rough patches is just how much they obviously care. When the other one is hurt, they're obviously distraught. My only advice to you girls; Don't let that spark die. Keep it burning hot.
Going to war for that booty.
Like the Trojan War.
Jeph is shipping so much he's going to start charging port fees
I will just sit here and smile for the next hour or so. XD
Agreed. :D
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Every time I think I have a definite favorite Faybles panel, Jeph comes along with a new one or two or four and screws that all up again. Please continue because this is an awesome problem to have.
sqqqqquuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Those first two panels really resonate with me, and give me a lot of hope.
NOTHING they say make me less concerned for the safety of the bed
8 and replace, my Ass
I can see it now, in the Upcoming Adventures in QC-Land: The Obligatory Exchange of Histories, with an Emphasis on Traumas and Prior Loves.
Will we finally get Bubbles' back-story? Will Spookybot intervene to Draw the Line? Will Faye also get armor, so they can go bad-assing together? Will the bed frame finally break?
Oh Dear God, I just realized something. Yes, the squees from all their friends will be deafening, but there's something we've all forgotten. HANNELORE DOESN'T KNOW YET. Hannelore, the biggest shipper of the group, is going to come back, with actual confidence and find out that Faye, one of her longest friends, and Bubbles her friend and "Favorite Customer" are together. That Squee will shatter the fabric of Reality.
... my God... the QCverse will gain FTL travel from that...
As a mission statement, "I'm going to be dumb and weird and fuck up a lot" is pretty good. It makes it easy to exceed expectations.
I guess I'm the only one who still misses Angus. I wonder how he and/or Sven will react to the news. (I also liked Sven back when he existed. That isn't a reproach to Jeph, who can take the story in whatever direction is in his plans, I'm just saying.)
Someday I'm going to meet THE GIRL and I'm so using that booty line. Thank you.
I hope you do - will keep the fire department on standby!
Loving this so much! But is think kind of relationship not really rare in the QCverse? I don't want to see faybles hurt!
If you liked it, you shoulda leveled a city block around it.
This is possibly the best QC I have read! I was so proud of Faye being open and sweet, then they kissed and then the punchline just came out of nowhere! I laughed out loud for a good minute! I think Bubbles' line has taken over as my favorite, which was previously Faye's "This rules ass!" Faybles was an amazing ride, well crafted and perfectly executed!
This is where the story is going to get really interesting for me. Yes, the drama of them admitting and acting on their feelings has been amazing. But now, the building of their relationships with all the ups and downs and trials and tribulations is going to be so much fun to watch. I also look forward to how this is going to change the dynamics of the relationships they already have with their friends, and how those people are going to change and adapt to this new dynamic.
I need to think up something other than "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" to say in the comments here.. But it's all that comes to mind when reading this!
Aaaaaahhhhhh so many feels
To quote the all powerful Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8: “Uh, you'll wanna retreat to a safe, 500-metre radius!”
To Quote Caddicarus, WIDE LOAD REVERSING WIDE LOAD REVERSING!!!!!!!
It just keeps getting better :3
Bubs, is that the same line you used on the helicopter?
Welp I’m dead, the cuteness killed me, on my grave they will carve: “SQUEE”ed himself to death. Thank you all for the good run I had.....
Totally worth it though, right? :)
Friend: What happened to you? You're just a pile of goo. Me: Yeah. Faybles. Gonna be this way for a while. Friend: [slowly puddles into goo] I completely understand.
I can think of a couple girls for whom Bubbles’ last line would be quite appropriate. Sadly, I have <b>absolutely</b> no chance with any of them.
“I would acquire all necessary drilling permits required to legally ‘tap dat ass.’”
I was trying to figure out where that link went,but it didn't work.
I currently exist in a state of pure SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(I want to see Bubbles cause widespread property damage)
Wait until they run into those robophobic teens again and they try to 'beat the queer' out of Faye. That's when we're going to be reminded of just what they built Bubbles to do.
YES!
THIS! IS! THAT! GOOD! SHIT!
YESSSS. omigawd what if they both walk out with crotchstars a la Girls with slingshots. i don't know how to link on mobile.
I know the stars you speak of.
*breathes deeply* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Aww, they’re such a cute couple
❤️❤️❤️
