Multilayered
subtext??? unclear

As I was told too many years ago, when AO3 was still fanfiction.net... You can't have subtext without buttsex. (Look at the letters...)
That also means you can't have buttsex without subtext.
I think Brun’s body dysmorphia could be potentially helpful (if not sympathetic) for Roko....also could Brun becoming and AI in the future be a possibility? Potential story arch?
I miss the park
OMG, look at Millefeui's curves in frame 1! Wow what a behind right?
I am sad that I can give this only a single Like
To be honest right now I'm just dizzy at the idea of two people in the same location.
One of them can be reliably sterilized and can't get sick, at least.
Obviously she should taste both
Give Mille some pineapple or something first. I fear she'd taste of Ouzo...
I don't even care, this is just SO CUTE
This ship be sailing into high seas.
Subtext or not, I just like seeing them become friends.
Jeph? Thank you for cheering me up. :)
How could anyone not like Millefeuille? The pastry *or* the person?
Allergies. I also knew one person whose taste perception was hella scrambled by a stroke, so most things they used to like tasted awful. Technically, I could have said "it tries to kill them" and "brain damage" as reasons, but that's a lot darker.
Oh my
While this is absolutely adorable, I wonder what Martin and the gang are up to, as well as Roko. But naw, this is pure goodness!
Who’s this “Martin” person?
I could make a joke about eating a dessert but I'll refrain.
Observation: we have a tendency to automatically ship any pair (or triple, etc) of people that start showing chemistry and an emotional connection. How much of this is our having lost, in our culture, the context for strong friendships outside a "Relationship"?
I'd say it's mostly that there's just a whole subculture based around "Shipping" right now. Always has been to an extent, but it's very big and prominent now where it used to be in print zines and stuff. There are people for whom it's a whole hobby to create and/or consume art about potential romantic couplings in fiction. They look at relationships in fiction through the lens of essentially what would make the best canvas on which to paint their own works. What makes for an interesting romance? Well it turns out pretty much the same as what makes an interesting friendship. Just an interesting relationship in general. If it's fun to see these two interacting with eachother you can translate that fun into a romantic context pretty easily.
Performance anxiety
Jeph, you _do_ know you just started an epic shipstorm, yes?!?
i will say, the arms together boob squish looks anatomically wrong these last two pages. its like her chest shrinks when she puts her hands together. im not hoping for ecchi or anything, but it stands out to me because it's drawn weirdly.
After mirror testing my own modest boob squish, I can get results that look like this by rounding forward with my shoulder blades, getting the “press down on the front of the boob” look, instead of a more usually visually presented press boobs in and up, which I think is the norm for created visual media. My much more well endowed best friend would be unable to do this without severely hunching her back, if even then. I on the other hand end up in a similar alignment regularly (though with my arms more up) when I am stretching to release the tension in my shoulder blades.
We already know Brun likes her butt. WHAT MORE EVIDENCE DO WE NEED.
TRY HER!! SHE'S THE DESSERT!
Challenge accepted. https://www.thespruceeats.com/mille-feuille-homemade-napoleon-recipe-2394442
Even the recipe seems to have a subtext: "It's made by sandwiching crispy layers of puff pastry with a rich custard pastry cream filling and then garnishing the top with a glossy royal icing."
Subtext? These aren’t even double entendres. They’re single.
I also was totally *not* thinking of a Creme Brun-lay at the end of this comic. Nope.
Ba-dum-bshhh!
Did Millefeuille also get blush implants? I mean, really. Half of this ship is already on the high seas.
All the humanoid AI characters can blush, it would seem, notably Bubbles and Momo.
Chekov's Innuendo, Jeph.... just sayin.
If there is an AI on the mantlelpiece in strip 4000, that AI must get off in strip 5000? :)
subtext or not, it's adorable!
we've all gotten ultra-introspective during this time. even more so than usual it seems.
PS: The strip number suggests that this strip should contain the ultimate meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Which, it kinda does.
So are you saying Millefeuille is a legit snack? https://media1.tenor.com/images/973123552164b8ff42cd3995272e6945/tenor.gif?itemid=13365350
I feel like Brun is slowly becoming a Harem Anime Protagonist. If she keeps up with the accidental mixed messages, I could end up seeing Mille acting on her AI/Human romance interest.
This is some of the most wholesome platonic shipping I've ever seen.
...platonic?
I fully ship these two now. Their interactions are so adorable and they try so hard to understand where each other is coming from.
This is painfully adorable oml
if this DOESN'T lead to a special Patreon strip of Brun eating Millefeuille, I'll lead the revolt
errm, what?!
noooo brun has to be in a poly relationship with elliot and clinton i will accept no compromise
i guess millefeuille could also be in the poly relationship, why not
Congrats on reaching 4242. Now grab your towel.
everybody needs to know at all times where their towel is ...
Could someone take up a collection to buy Brun potato chips and ice cream. Kinda like buying Jeph a cup of coffee.
so cute im gonna die
Giving words to her mental processes. God I love Brun.
I think she's easily my favorite character in this strip now. (Sorry Bubbles...)
forget subtext, start writing supertext
If this keeps getting cuter at this rate, we're gonna reach fatal levels by the end of the week
Damn. I know how you feel Brun.
I hope it is!
All riiiiiight.....
