I agree. I don't see how this could actually turn into anything more than "Faye pushing her boundaries."
But hey, I also didn't think Jeph would do something like this, either...
I've always loved QC, but the comic has been getting either boring or annoying lately. I guess Faye kissing Sven is interesting, but it also falls under the category of "wtf I thought this comic was less cliche'd and better than this." I don't know. I'm bothered.
Enigmatick:
My first post here, long-time reader.
I find it interesting that, at least in this thread, only two posts mention a serious component to consider in the Faye/Sven dynamic: Raven. I think it's going to very interesting to see how she takes this news. A kiss alone would cause a murderous rage, imagine how she'd readt if they do the dirty together! The next day at work is going to be mighty interesting. Unless of course, everyone tries to keep it secret. Somehow I don't think that will be likely, considering this group's track record.
Just a couple things to ponder.
EDIT:I stand corrected. After posting this I found that the issue of Raven is discussed quite heavily in another thread. Classic noob mistake.
If you're still breathing, you must be doing something right.
fallax:
Agreed on the "boring" thing. However, I think a whole Faye-and-Sven couple would be boring too, because it is so predictable and QC has always been non-cliche. I find it so hard to believe all the people that were like "I never saw this coming!!" Really? Faye and Sven have been tantalizingly close, showing some romantic tension just like Marten and Faye used to have, and there was so much foreshadowing in the talk with Dora about Faye getting laid. At first, I knew immediately that there would be something romantic coming Faye's way because of that strip with Dora. Put it together with the fact that the only eligible male she is close to is Sven, and there you go. I considered a random hookup too, but it seemed way too out of Faye's character to do that, and I also wondered if she'd make a move on marten, but that would just be terrible and all the Dora/Marten supporters would scream for her blood. Plus she'd probably ruin her friendship with Dora, possibly Marten as well if he really is as attached to Dora as he tells her.
It also would be too much like how Dora and Marten got together--girl kisses unexpecting boy, they talk and agree to become a couple, then they face tension with other members of the social group over it. I'm hoping it doesn't go that route. I have never been a fan of the Faye/Sven shipping, but I could almost deal with it so long as it doesn't happen right away.
I've always thought they'd be great as best friends helping each other get over their past problems, but platonically, Faye teaching Sven not to use women and Sven pushing Faye to get over her issues. The kiss seems, to me, like exactly what it said: Faye pushing her boundaries. I doubt Sven will push her away or anything, as some have suggested, but I do think Faye will break off the kiss and spend a while doing some serious thinking. I can see her telling him a few strips from now that it was a one time thing, that she needed to test her limits, and that she doesn't want it to be a real coupling yet. Being supportive, he takes it well and they go back to being friends, Faye now having taken a huge leap in getting well and pushing herself. Maybe, a few hundred strips afterwards, they revisit the kiss and do become a couple, after Faye has developed more.
My biggest fear right now is that Dora's talk with Faye really is foreshadowing in the literal sense, and Monday's strip is Faye waking up in Sven's bed. That would be way too fast for her at this point, and could cause her to have a breakdown, plus a huge fight in the group. Other than that, I just hope this doesn't closely follow the Marten-Dora path, and that it makes allowance for Faye's issues and isn't just "I was messed up but now I'm totally okay! Let's be together!"
AndrewDB:
Sven is the only male who puts up with Faye's shit in a tolerable way without going off the deep end and calling her an alcoholic...
I think he sees some of himself in Faye.
Stubborn, ruthless, loyal devoted friend, has his problems and he can't figure them out for his own so he needs someone, or his friends to help him sort them out. (I'd even go as far as saying his pimping, and over all flirtatious nature is a problem that he's been trying to solve by finding just that one person.. and he may see that one person as Faye.)
