Um...Yay uses they/them pronouns in case folks forgot
Because she is many. The avatars and mannerisms seem vaguely feminine (not that AIs need be programmed with a specific sense of sex, Pintsize seems firmly omnisexual, interested in every conceivable form of carnal pleasure and many that make no sense to protein-people), but there's literally multiple parallel units so collective pronouns work if addressing the overmind. It's very confusing, but I don't mind confusing Sci-Fi, I liked RAH's Number of the Beast, for fuck's sake!
I like how Elliot actually has a brain on top of all that muscle.
Yay, has become a lovable character, imho she was creepy AF when she first entered the comic.
I love Yay so much.
Noting down "Anxiety spittoon" as a weird Dungeons and Dragons item and/or a band name.
I'd take that as a "we suck tonight" band name. When you realize you're having an off night and want to claim deniability, reintroduce the band after every song with a different wrong name. Like, if my outfit The James Rocket were really sucking bad: "hey thanks for coming out. We're Anxiety Spittoon" "We got a few more, thanks, we're Victoria's Secretion" and so on.
fruit good.
I hope Elliot’s Mom is like a towering giant still able to bench press the combined weight of the nurses at her retirement community.
Honestly the problem wasn't coming down from the trees. Everything's gone downhill since that idiot decided fire was a good idea. Meddler!
Golgafrincham B-Arkers for you.
I don’t know about the rest of you primates, but I’m shipping Yay & Hercules.
The barely-contained condescension and apparent frustration, even if it is slowly giving way to the start of genuine compassion, could be a barrier to rapport.
"climb tree get fruit" at my age? maybe "lie under tree, hope for falling fruit" I guess
I love this comic. It's hard to be genuine with people, and it's hard to accept people when they're being genuine if you're not used to it.
I love watching Yay make (or attempt to make) new friends. Or maybe I just like seeing Yay frustrated.
I wonder if Yay isn't trying to get itself frustrated here.
This from the AI who delights in making its relationships with EVERYBODY as difficult as possible.
Bro I would love to climb tree and get fruit. Let me be primitive and not have the capicity to think about the state of the world.
Or at least just master the skill of Not Giving A Fuck™
I wasn't aware Elliot had met Yay yet....
A few weeks back. When Elliot got sprayed by the skunk whilst shortcutting through the park.
Just say "please, can I play with your cat" and work from there.
Yay thinks that's what she said :)
I want fruits! XD
Yes, Yay. We humans sometimes wonder the same thing. Thinking is quite overrated, and often gets us into trouble.
i for one would love to climb tree, get fruit, roots.
Yay's closing comment almost sounds like something that could have fit into Hitchhiker's Guide.
Yes, a clear nod to HHGttG fandom.
Hmmmm....Yay taking an interest in human affairs that have no AI nexus. I do believe this is the first time.
No, it's in Hercules's affairs. Elliot is just the cat-caretaker.
Hercules! Also, picture in background of panel 2- almost looks like Tilly. Probably not, though...
I think that's Elliot's mom.
I really wish I could share my Hercules
Yay
That said, they're trying too hard. Big "I'm sorry I annoyed you with my friendship" energy. Also they totally didn't find out he was worrying because they heard the pacing. I don't trust them & Elliot should be slow to do so too.
Hercules is looking less paunchy!
Is on a diet and is angry with Eliot about it, according to those texts...
Hercules <3
Look when Yay's right, Yay's right. Let's go back to the trees everyone. But I'm keeping the guitar.
Roko voice: NEEEEERRRRDS
I'm surprised Yay would push so hard when Eliot keeps letting her off the hook. Her character is mercurial so I'm not saying it's out of character, I am just shocked.
Yay probably knows in helping Elliot, she will help herself as well.
Eliot's Mom approves.
::punches friend:: I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU GET OVER YOUR FEAR OF BEING PUNCHED!!! ::punches friend again::
I think Yay Newfriend has become my favorite character.
Reject civilization, return to monke.
Yay does try, gotta give them credit for that.
Pretty sure Yay is "they". Not just for the "we".
'JUST BE MY FRIEND, DAMMIT.'
Although this does show how the Newfriend continuum is becoming more aware of the sea in which they swim, and to become the unknown presence at people's elbow.
Weird way to root, but if there's any comic going where that doesn't matter, this is the one.
Big mood Yay. Big mood.
Hercules knows Yay will spoil him
yay with a neck seam, thats not something weve seen before
Sometimes it shows. Or maybe on some of their bodies it shows.
Seems like Yay Newfriend is making a... new friend.
Yay Newfriend. Relationship guru.
Honestly, same.
