I was wrong. I apologize.
"Slow burn" is not just a romance term...
People also seem to think that when I pay them a compliment it means I'm flirting. People also try to flirt back, but I'm oblivious.
I have seen a "Flirt Harder, I'm a Physicist" tee in the wild.
I apparently have the opposite problem. My wife assures me that she has several times seen other women attempting to flirt with me and being deflected by my impenetrable wall of obliviousness. I still have no idea when this happened.
Same here tbh
Claire's got a few sharp edge to her personality and tends to worry a bit. Peoples' different sliders vary person to person though.
And she never spoke to another person again
Claire broke Willow...
Yup
I see, social anxiety is apparently an infectious disease in the QC-verse XD
I think it's a lot more common then I used too. Then again, maybe those of us with it find each other.
GDI CLAIRE
She's left a trail of broken hearts
I had a friend tell me at a going away party at grad school that he was having a conversation with another woman who said "She has no idea how many hearts she breaking, does she?" And I didn't. I had three different people tell me before I left that they had been anywhere from heavy crushing to in love with me. Speak up people!
🔼🤘👩🤘
My first thought was "ah, state change". But I had no idea myself what constituted "friendly conversation" vs "hitting on" for a long time so I can relate.
................. So why am I now irritated with Claire? (wandering off to ponder.)
If you're anything like me, it's because she made someone who was doing something for an innocuous and wholesome reason second guess themselves by bringing in modern society's obsession with getting it on.
This literally happened to me a few months ago. I love chatting people up and am good at it as an extroverted GeekGal, but it had never occurred to me that (to single guys espcially) that they might think I was hitting on them. I'd just thought I wasn't giving out that vibe. Still I've had a lot of pleasant conversations...
Aw man, don't get in Willow's head, there ain't nothing wrong with her leading life looking for friendship first
Claire didn't get in her head tho? She was just saying she would be afraid to be like that. She didn't realize it hadn't occurred to Willow after she'd already said it
And may it never occur to you again you little treasure.
Guess it's a good thing she's met nearly the entire cast before the dawning.
Cuteness levels: dangerously high
Whoopsie
Claire just ended Willow's entire career.
Willow.exe has stopped working, please contact technical support.
Willow is too pure for this world
Nice going, Claire.
And that was the moment that everything changed.
But the important thing is, Claire and Willow wear identical glasses. This means they're soulmates and will eventually run off together.
Just, please, no. That storyline cuts too close to home.
While it doesn't excuse the guy who sent a dick pic, this does give some interesting context to it.
…. No.
Oh no, Willow's purity shield has taken damage!
Her inner Ackbar is all: “we can’t repel firepower of that magnitude!”
I feel so very seen in Willow - Midwestern nice on the Ace side of the rainbow with an interest in eye contact which often leads to more than “hello” 💟 thank youuuuuu
Well, hello there... :D
Oh no! Claire broke Willow! 🫣
Dangit Claire, you just introduced the centipedes dillema into Willow!
WILLOW
Claire you broke her. Now fix it!
Ohmygosh
I think her head literally got bigger in the fourth panel, is Willow about to pop?
The blush response raises head temperature, causing it to expand. Basic physics!
Willow!! So pure!! Precious cinnamon roll!!
Is she the purest cinnamon roll in the cast now?
A guy I work with turned to me recently and said, "you're really friendly." "Yes?" "I mean, you just... talk to people you don't know, when you don't have to." "Yes?" Then he shook his head and walked away.
I'm from the South and live in the PNW now. People say this to me all the time! And I really enjoy blowing the minds of The People of The Chill.
As easy as it is to criticise Martin for finding new friends like this, it might be that such pure people are just attracted to him (in a platonic way). Whereas non pure people are not.
Actually… I think that anyone who has actually hit on Martin has either been too nervous to do it, or so nervously obvious that even Martin noticed.
Oh no Willow
God damn it, Claire
...ace/aro willow???
I have some allo friends that are oblivious like this, but I definitely had the same thought!
willow:... :(
Willow now realizing how many random male friends she has and how those conversations started and how they all like hugs and oh no... oohh no.
I figured this out about a decade ago and I *still* don't know what to do about it. (Mainly because chronic illness made it 99% a moot point a couple of years later)
I'm jealous of willow and her ability to make friends at that drop of a hat, or the hit of a drone.
I’m face palming so hard my eyes hurt.
Obliviousness can also be bliss in limited circumstances.
"Ignorance is bliss" has been a line for a very long time
Oh, honey.
Whoops.
Like her I just assume people are being nice and probably aren't into me in that way.
Wouldn’t it be nice if this was the norm!
