Questionable Motivations

Mmm. I understood that, I thought there was something more that I was missing. IMHO it’s a bit forced. It’s something already addressed before. Thank you anyway
There is a chilling SciFi story (I wish I could remember its name or author - Lem?) about a space traveler stranded in his ship many light-years from home. A gigantic golden swimming humanoid shape approaches, and hurls him towards home at many times light-speed. The golden giant then realizes that the poor stricken ship will not be able to slow down, and it arranges for a safe return to Earth. Later, the narrator of this story sees a child pick up a caterpillar from the sidewalk and deposit it safely on the grass and staggers with the realization that an adult would have just stepped on it. Yay makes me think of that story often.
I always remember that the golden giant had so much insight into the human's nature it not only knew his home planet, it put him in Olduvai Gorge.
rereading, I'd say this one did it. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3396 Yay was an asshole then.
Yeah, that one was so forceful that I was actually disappointed in the subsequent softening of Yay's character. We're bugs to them. Why would they suddenly want to make friends with a bug?
You swank around akting like a smug asshole and suddenly people treat you like a smug asshole
I feel like this is going to be a good week of comics.
I can’t understand why Faye is angry with Bubbles. She knows Bubbles can’t remember
Faye has just been reminded that Bubbles has lost a big chunk of her memories, and this has triggered Faye's well-established fear of abandonment. If Bubbles had a previous partner who she no longer remembers, what's to stop her forgetting Faye as well?
Why do I always feel that the top Yay is wearing athleasure is a binder?
In some of the comics in which Yay appears, it looks like their chest is being compressed. I've read it as a binder since.
Yay and Faye rhyme. That could be the problem.
I mean, Roko did ask nicely.
Faye, you want to talk to them because they're expressing genuine concern, despite you being so catty to them.
And Yay is apparently aware of Bub's and Faye's relationship and seems to approve after a fashion. Perhaps a long term program they're engaged in?
I think we also need to remember that Faye (and the rest of the coffee shop) were knocked out when Yay first showed up. It's not unreasonable to be angry about being knocked out by a super powered AI with questionable morality. Also Faye is in a upset state as it is, with her confusing thoughts on Bubbles at the moment, and Faye's default response is still anger when she's upset. So yeah, I get where she's coming from here.
No, Faye was paralyzed while remaining conscious, if that makes a difference https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3392
and round again!
judging by the fact that the non-patreon version of todays comic has round bubbles, i think we can surmise its an error
Did Faye lose her big robot-repair muscles?
Most people seem to lose muscle definition when relaxed. She hasn't done anything physically strenuous in at least a few hours, what with the party and all. I think that's all it is.
She's looking at that hand quite suspiciously. Morgellons?
In this case, the issues isn't really what they did, but rather how they went about it. Say you have a friend that's being black mailed into a bad situation, would you prefer to have a detective or police officer arrest the blackmailer and force them to stop via legal means, or would you rather have a complete stranger show up, shoot out the blackmailers kneecaps and threaten to continue torturing them?
I mean, the people I associate with arnt exactly law abiding citizen so I think my answer might be a little biased.
I'm actually kind of confused as to why Faye is so mistrustful of Yay. All Yay did was try to help Bubbles and punish Corpse Witch. Both of those were good things, weren't they?
Perhaps if Yay had been LESS OF AN ARROGANT SPIT WAD, yes, but if you check back on those strips you will understand that Faye has good reasons.
I really don't understand Faye's huge hatred for Yay? Like we've seen a lot more of them than she has, granted, and yeah their initial appearance had them being very sinister but Faye IS aware that they did what they did to help Bubbles, it's not like they gained anything out of it.
Spookybot/Yay's only interaction with Faye thus far has been to appear out of nowhere, disable and selectively re-enable the entire CoD staff, do things to Bubbles that even Emily's apparent technical savant-ness couldn't fully grasp without a heavy duty GUI, and then take down Corpse Witch and transfer control of the entire property into Jeremy's hands - and all of this without breaking a metaphorical sweat. Whatever good she may have done, Faye has ever reason to remain extremely cautious/doubtful of her and her true intentions.
No one would want Faye's liver.
Or her eyes.
