Faye and Angus?

[Aegir]

Why does everyone hate Angus so much?

Every time Angus has made a new appearance he's made me more and more annoyed. I couldn't pinpoint the exact source of my annoyance for the longest time, until very recently when I realized it: He reminds me of Duckie from Pretty In Pink.

And only other Duckies and the occasional Duckette like Duckie.

I was just gonna say "Hey, I like Duckie!" but then I read that last sentence.

ouch...my pride...

I think it would be interesting to say the least but hey jeph has surprised us on more than one occasion.  And Angus may hook up with hanners for all we know.

Hmm. Intriguing.

[Is it cold in here?]

Jeph has shown a tendency not to do the obvious.

[Delirium]

which means that doing the obvious wouldn't be doing the obvious.

I'm curious as to where people get the idea that Angus is 'stalking' Faye? I mean, the guy stopped going there because he had a bitchy-girlfriend. The fact he GOT a girlfriend while stalking Faye, that indicates that he perhaps wasn't really THAT into her. OR he was well-rounded enough to realise 'hey this chick doesn't like me, but this other girl I have a shot with'.

Also, in the latest one Faye assumes his trying to filter his way into her 'group'. This shows her possessive nature of her friends, he did not do this action to gain Faye's attention. A stalker on the other hand, would do this.

No one can say if she will end up with Angus (except Jeph). If anything, what she has just been threw with Sven has shown her what she does and does not want in a relationship, so that is a start. I'm holding out hope she'll stay single for a while and come to a mature closure with the Sven incident.

[xiansantos]

Angus is being built up to be a serious contender vs. Sven so we could have a genuine love triangle going.
And yeah, I'm sure there will be a closure to the Sven/Faye issue in the near future.
The results of which are unknown to everyone but Jeph.

[LeeC]

hmm I can only speculate at what will happen.  I have a feeling angus will be hanging out with faye a lot more causing more jealousy from Sven, mutch like this strip http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1390 and hopefully something interesting happens and not a rehash of "I'll make X look jealous by getting a girl/boy and make out in front of them."  and mysteriously I think of Waynes World when him and cassandra are on the roof and Wyanes ex is with a dude trying to make him all jealous.

The only benefit to Angus being closer would, as mentioned by others above, is that his presence makes Sven jealous and causes him to actually devote himself to a woman for once.  As far as writing is concerned, I think putting Angus and Faye together would be the "Midichlorians" of this comic.

haha nah it wouldnt.  If anything maybe Sven might start writing emo songs 

[maddness]

He already write country. That's not emo enough for you?

[frullic]

screamo isn't bad but it's not techno death metal

good point, country is depressing as it is. 

[snubnose]

Angus would be OK.

Except he might bore Jeff and we all know what happends to characters that bore Jeff.

[Cartilage Head]

Who is Jeff

[Is it cold in here?]

He's the author of a comic strip featuring Martin, Fay, and Hannalore.

[frullic]

huh, never read it

[innermoppet]

It might be more interesting at this point, if Faye decided she does want to pursue something with Angus, just to have Angus decide she's more trouble than she's worth. She'd be so pissed at Marten. There would be many beatings.

I like violence.

[Is it cold in here?]

I wondered about that too. It would be totally in character for Faye to be outraged with Marten if she lost her chance with Angus even though she said she didn't want him. Then to be outraged for telling Angus about her, even though Marten avoided blabbing about her psychological history.

[rhodium]

hanners moves in with marigold, if only to feed her new manga obsession. angus moves in with dora AND THEN HOOKS UP WITH FAYE. everything is awkward forever.

[CaptainNewcastle]

I sense a love triangle, in that Faye will give into Angus' advances, and then Sven will want back in.

i would agree with you but thats too predicatble, but then again you never know.  I am opting for being thrown a curve ball.  Sven hooks up with someone seriously for the first time in awhile after Faye just rocked his world and angus ends up with someone else and Faye feels unwanted and jealous of both and takes it out on them through sculpting minture versions of them and their girlfriends only to smash them with pintsize's head like a caveman opening an egg with a rock.  Meanwhile Marigold takes up writing (or drawing based on her background thus far) and puts together their story and sells them to make bank and hires Hanners as both her cleaning person and friend.

MWAHAHAHAAH!

then again it could just be a love triangle develops... but hey we will have to wait and see now wont we?

[Is it cold in here?]

Sshhh! No spoilers! You wrecked the surprise for the rest of us. At least you didn't mention the part where Coffee of Doom opens a branch on the space station and Hannerdad starts contributing recipes to the specials.

[courtle]

I'm hoping for more character development for Angus, as he's still pretty two-dimensional.  Right now, I don't like the idea of Faye and Angus together because of that, but my feelings could change if we see more of his personality.  But let me just say that a love triangle between Faye, Angus, and Sven would disappoint me, because it feels way too predictable.

[nichidani]

or... sven/angus? dun-dun-dunnnnn!

(i kid, i kid.)

[Heliphyneau]

or... sven/angus? dun-dun-dunnnnn!

(i kid, i kid.)

Bahaha!  Please please let that be a sweaty nightmare Faye wakes up from!   

I tihnk if Faye and Angus did go out, she'd still be just as meh toward him as ever, which would be funny.

[nichidani]

yeah i kind of always figured that. if they did end up together (like jeph would opt for the most cliche of cliche plot twists) she would just be meaner to him if anything.

[Is it cold in here?]

That would make sense, but on the other hand she wasn't especially or frequently mean to Sven when they were having their quasi-relationship. Though he did describe her to Lydia as an "adversary with benefits". She didn't use him as a punching bag like she did with Marten.

[nichidani]

i think that's just because sven doesn't have a very submissive personality. if she were being a bitch, he would just call her out on it and tell her to shut the fuck up. and marten wouldn't do that, and i don't think angus would either. marten (as well as the vast majority of the qc cast) just kind of accepts that as a quirk to her personality, and angus thrives on it.

[SigPig]

I don't know though yesterdays comic might drive angus away for awhile. Although she did throw him across a room once and he still came back so I think he has a masochistic side to his personality. 

[maddness]

I don't know where I stand on this one. My first instinct is that he'd be right back, because that's how he rolls ... but that was pre-Marten chat. Now? With his current doubts about continuing to pursue her? Anything is possible.

[bob, just bob]

I wouldn't mind the love triangle at all really, those things happen. and when they do happen they're normally pretty predictable, you know? everyone can kind of see them coming but it doesn't really stop it from happening, unless someone smartens up, but we all know that never happens in relationships.
I'm excited to see what Sven will do. I like him.

[maddness]

I'm torn. Sven is a cheating jerkface, but I like him. Don't get me wrong, in Faye's place I would have stabbed him in an appendage with a meat fork and never had anything to do with him again, but as they are cartoon characters and I'm not Faye, I can like him. I also like Angus. He's funny. He takes a lot of shit from Faye, but he does it because he likes it, not because he's a spineless wimp.

[nichidani]

i feel your pain. i for some reason have a soft spot for sven, for no reason at all because he is a super-mega-ultra-dick (especially reading back and seeing it all at once). but i guess seeing how torn up he is over it at all makes me feel almost sorry for him, and faye appears to be one of the first girls he gives half a shit about. but i do like angus more and more as i keep reading, and faye seems to like him in her way, i.e. when marten said he wanted to make sure he approved she just kind of remarked "who says i like him?" rather than "i don't like him!" (here: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1423.) and they obviously do flirt, i.e. hannelore's "you can do your weird argue-flirty thing when we get there THEY ARE BUILDING A RAMP" comment (here: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1388). so i guess we'll have to see!
