I mean, I'd buy it more if she wasn't also doing the disposable fuckboy websites.
Renee: I am sad because I help others, but can't help myself. Elliot: You helped me. I could help you. Renee: Sorry, needing help is for *people that suck*.
God that is a mood. "Everybody deserves help and needs to lean on their friends. There's no shame in that. Except for me. When I do it, there's all of the shame in that."
Really, so... Renee can't see that she needs to take her own advice right now? Why can't SHE confess that what she really wants is to climb Elliot like a mountain and smooch that face off? Isn't Honesty exactly what she advised Elliot to do?
she did, tho
I hate to say it ........ but i do not care about the sudden mutual attraction between the suddenly bi Clinton and poor Elliot ...... I wanna see the adventures of May and her new body dangit!!!
^^
This reminded me of a clip from Famalam (UK series): "When The Sassy Black Friend Has Enough". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jguyvVsmnLY Not quite the same as the QC strip, but I'm glad to see Renee share that frustration.
And here’s me relating WAY to much with Renee here. To quote Marten, “friend sight is 20/20”, and it’s nice to be able to help out your friends, but then they go home with their significant other and you go hole alone... shit’s some 99% bittersweet reality
I feel like this isn't the first time a QC character has talked about having to do the emotional work of others :(
I feel like it's the only time DIRECTLY, but that's also 4k+ pages and like more than a decade back to remember. I know Fay and Martin had a heart to heart about Fay talking about her dad with people. Hehe, flower pits.
Know the feeling
I relate to her so much it's painful
Wait? Is Eliot capable of snark? I didn't think he had it in him. Maybe the soft boys message board IS real afterall
I don't think Elliot has a snarky bone in his body
if soft.men has not been bought by the time this goes live outside of patreon, I'll be very disappointed in all of you.
Hmmm, how much trouble can you get in for threatening physical violence?
Jeph this storyline shift made me revert to my thick southern drawl that I have been working for years to soften (yes, I'm a southerner moved to a city like Faye). "AWWWW FUCK NAW JEPH AH SWARE TO GAWWWAD"
*sings* nobody knows what it's like to be the mom friend, to be the calm friend, behind soft guys.
Exemplary
Looks like "bigsoft.men" is available.
There are absolutely big soft boys message boards. I'm in them.
You're missing a question mark?
Evil. Just as Clinton comes in we'll switch toYay and Melon at karaoke
...argh.
Oh, look. Is me.
Wonder if there are IP issues between the soft boys group and the soft boys line of AI bodies (Winslow has one, or at least considered one.)
I think his body is a regular boy, not a soft boy
The next arc, Renee blunders into Yay Newfriend and they hit it off big time. That could run for a full year. :) (Yes, it could be worse. I could be shipping her with PINTSIZE!)
I was actually thinking about her and Tall May just now.
Better go get soft.men before I do! :D
Perfect! Jeph, you are a master at trolling us all. :)
It seems kind of insensitive to complain about people asking you for advice, to your friend who just asked you for advice... it’s not like it’s Elliot’s fault she has relationship issues, and presumably he has plenty of ways he is a good friend to her. It’s not like he only treats her like a therapist. It’s like she’s complaining about having to be friends with her friends.
Sorta agree. But I can also sympathise with the frustration of always meeting the needs of others rather than getting your own needs met. Plus IMO Renee deserves some kudos for being open about that and trusting Eliot with how she's really feeling.
The idea of a message board full of Elliots is HIGHLY appealing to me
"That's weird. We have seventy-three people online right now, and they're all just sitting there waiting for each other to say something."
So uh, how does one sign up for the soft boys message board? Asking for a friend.
I used to be on the big soft boys message board all the time before finally coming out as trans. Now I'm on the big soft girls message board. 💜
Renée, you deserve to be the subject of your own story, not just a helper to others!
Jepppphhh, Renée needs some fun and some sexy times soon. Please?!
I’ll chip in for the buying soft.men domain
I checked, it''s not listed as being available. Jeph? Did you go ahead and buy it?
Meanwhile, back at the Bodyhub May: ...AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
For the next 5 Fridays: 6 panels of May screaming AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Eesh, yeah, I definitely know someone who wound up as this. Kind of was an impromptu therapist for like, a dozen people. Not a healthy lifestyle.
I was like that for a long time. So I became an actual therapist instead! Much healthier boundaries, and I get paid.
I, too, would like to be a part of the big soft guys board
Knew it!
