The Vindictive Type
The wine so mom it made the news
Comments (93)
It took me a while to realize that Aurelia's drinking wine out of a nalgene bottle, which means she's drinking a LOT of wine there ( that's a 1 litre bottle she's got there, so she poured herself like half a litre, which feels like a lot to me )
Okay. 1. Yay,.. you are wrong for that. a. The doxie didn't ruin the marriage so she shouldn't be killed. b. I think a whole satellite is a waste on anything less than a city. 2. You are corrupting my sensibilities - I grinned at the thought.
By the time the dead comsat made it through the atmosphere, it would by reduced by the heat of re-entry to just be enough to take out a station wagon... those things are not designed for re-entry, there's a lot of thingummies sticking out and irregular shapes and internal voids in your average comsat. It will tumble and burn. It's not like mass driving a solid tungsten rod from orbit. (this was not an idea, Yay... Dont think I did not notice that sudden buy spike on Tungsten Ore on the Commodities market, just now.)
Alright already. I loved Yay *before* discovering they had reserved a dead comsat as a personal nuke... Fortunately, they will see this message and know that they are loved. ...because of course they will.
Mom wine, like cat wine, but for moms.
I am picturing an older looking Clinton with darker hair and a shit eating grin.
Hmmm since both kids look SO MUCH like their mom, I'm going to guess the dad looks absolutely nothing like them
The more traditional BPS approach is to use three satellites in a line...
I am pro decommissioned satellite drop.
Yay's face at the thought of dropping vindictive justice from orbit is giving me life.
At the very least, more inconspicuous than a tungsten rod dropped by Station.
The Nalgene full of wine is upsettingly accurate
Nalcohol
So THAT'S what happened to the dad. Funny, I had my money on car crash.
We already knew from Claire and Clinton's conversations that Dad is both alive and more-or-less in contact with Clinton. Claire doesn't have anything to do with him, by choice.
I am a little confused by the sudden brightening of the blue in the kitchen window. How long did it take them to walk away from the sink?
Oh, between panel 1 and 2, we missed a two hour epic tale which included retelling a bunch of the stuff we've seen as well as a lot that we didn't - mostly about Claire's father. They left the kitchen and went upstairs, so Aurelia could bring out the baby pictures. There was a deep discussion on vtubing and camera techniques. They then came back downstairs, and various other discussions. So, to answer the question for real, Jeph cut us back in about 5 hours after panel 1, at a point when the conversation had just happened to come back around to what they'd been talking about before.
Also, more drama that could have been potentially averted if more folks were poly...
Poly doesn’t stop people from being assholes and dropping entirely out of your children’s lives certainly qualifies him for that dishonor.
Shouldn't that read "The Vinodictive Type"? (hehe)
honestly im surprised Jeph missed, or chose not to use that pun heh
I love Yay lmao
Death From Above feels a little harsh - even in these circumstances. On the other hand, Yay has a number of bodies that don't seem to be especially busy at the moment. I'm sure 3 or 4 of them could make a personal visit...
Is that a mf'ing Blue Nun reference Always appreciate Achewood in the wild
I’m wondering now if Deadbeat has the last name of Augustus, or if Aurelia already had that name and the three of them all took it on as a means of disownership.
I’m thinking they all changed their surname. Kind of been thinking about doing that myself.
I'm not saying that Yay and Aurelia should bang, but I'm definitely not saying that they shouldn't bang.
I imagine Yay calling in a few more bodies to give Aurelia the thorough ravishing that she deserves!
My preference is something untraceable that looks accidental, but Yay gets lots of style points for this one.
Yay really, really wants to drop that satelite
Seems a bit extreme, as there could be some collateral damage with a falling satellite. I just want Tortura to drag him back and kick his ass very thoroughly and publicly
Isn't that an evolution of a starter Pokémon
Love me some MomWine!
Jeff, if you were trying to get me to find Yay more attractive with this page you succeeded marvelously.
So that's what happened to C&C's dad
What if Yay just... Safely deorbits said satellite as an intentional very near miss, and send a few 'So watch yourself' messages after
... I kinda want to meet those backstory characters, but I'm afraid everyone would demand their heads no matter the circumstances, so it's probably better if they never showed up
... i'm not sure whether she should take their offer, and that worries me.
BACKSTORY! edit: + retaliatory violence + orbital bombardment! Trifecta achieved!
Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours Hydrazine.
The proper vessel for red wine is a Nalgene!
Mom wine best wine
Antigua *does* get a fair amount of rain, you know.
A hard rain is gonna fall.
Mom Wine is hilarious and fantastic
What, Yay doesn’t have access to an orbital laser? Station has one.
Not everyone has wealthy parents. :D
I don't know if this is a Dresden Files reference, but I hope this is a Dresden Files reference
It sounds like one to me
I just assumed he was already dead. Best to make it official I reckon.
Just to be sure
Nagile water bottle for wine :chefs kiss: North Hampton feels kind of like Bellingham WA
Yay is a perfect embodiment of the dichotomy "Do I love them or do I want to be them?" (The answer is "Yes")
I love Yay so much
The fact that she is drinking wine out of a travel water bottle is the most Northampton thing I've ever seen.
Usually I'm in the comments trying to be the voice of reason This time? This time I'm with them 100%
I love Yay
I like how supportive Yay is. Even to maybe a slightly homicidal degree.
Grinning is a good look for Yay.
That’s funny. I’m getting a message from a decommissioned satellite. It says “From Aurelia, with love.” Huh. I wonder what the old girl’s sendi….
IS IT JUST ME, OR DID YAY JUST GET LIKE 10 TIMES SEXIER?
I've always wanted to blow raspberries on Yays stomach...... ^_^
YAY NO¹. ----------- ¹: Yay yes.
When you care enough to send the very best...
But could Bubbles survive the temperature and impact?
All wines are mom wines.
Especially the ones that I make.
Station would notice. “Hannelore, did you just drop a satellite on your friend's estranged father? Because *I* didn’t.”
“Nope. That was Mx. Newfriend!”
Wine from a Nalgene is a mood.
Just to confirm, Aurelia is drinking wine out of a Nalgene, right? If so, damn, girl, that’s a big night ahead of ya!
Ooh, lore~
backstory! fuck mr augustus
Like I know they're not being specific about gender here but come on we all know it's a dude
This hits too deep 😓 are you going to mention the lifelong pressure from society and parents that going to college to get the good job is the only way to be successful 🥴
Yay is helping!
Just hypothetically speaking
Omg Yay’s face!
I would drink mom wine
That's a fairly hefty serving there, to boot.
Whoever could she be talking about?
That last panel is the greatest Yay face ever!
It’s the Nalgene bottle that really sells it
You don’t realize how perfect Aurelia drinking wine from a Nalgene bottle is until you see it.
Surprising no one that Yay just has a satellite up their sleeve
At this point I'm more concerned with the fact they hadn't had an opportunity yet.
Oooo, backstory!
Yay has quickly become one of my favorite characters.
So THAT'S what happened! Yay, you have absolute permission. Whenever you're ready.
Yay looks so excited in the last panel…. Remind me never to piss them off.
Drop a decommissioned satellite on that one ex who did me wrong so I know it's real
Sometimes it rains satellites
Coincidentally I’m listening to Recovering the Satellites from Counting Crows.
