Who is going to be most ticked off by Faye's confession?
bicostp:
It depends on where the Sven - Faye relationship is going.
An actual relationship - Probably Marten. She strung him along for a long time, only to turn him down, and now she's hooked up with a guy "she barely knows"? Ouch.
Friend with benefits - Your guess is as good as mine. Could be either of them.
One-night stand - Dora. She'll fly off the handle, assuming Sven used his trademark smarm to get into Faye's pants. It can only go downhill from there.
ThePQ4:
I'm going to go with Dora here.
Telling everyone is either going to get it all blown out of proportion, or they're all just going to go, "Uh...okay. Whatever." and all of this worry and anticipation will have been for nothing.
If she's not angry, she's going to at least see the positive side of this, listening to what the good doctor told Faye, and be like, "SO you DID just need a good lay!" and pat her on the back with a subtle threat, "Now that it's out of your system, don't ever touch my brother again!" If anything, I think Sven will get more backlash then Faye. He should have stopped her, he knows she has issues.
Wow, I don't think that post made any sense. Perhaps I should go to bed.
JoeMoron2000:
No, that post made more sense than a lot of things going through my head (or my mouth...I'm eating an orange rind. Wtf?) at the moment.

This is all complicated by the fact that Faye isn't fully agreed in her own mind about what she thinks of Sven.
She claims to barely know him, yet she has acted as his confidante and mentor in his quest to better himself.
She says that she doesn't even like him very much, yet she is often accepting of, or even seeking out, his company.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Whether there is to be any deepening in what is already by any definition a very friendly acquaintanceship will depend on several factors:
1) How uncomfortable Faye feels around Dora and Marten after her confessions. (It was her unwillingness to intrude on them that led to most instances of her intruding on Sven instead.)
2) How dedicated Sven is to reforming his horndog ways. If Faye catches Sven in further philandery, then further intimacy--physical or emotional--may well be out of the question.
3) How interested Sven is in Faye in the first place. We have seen hints that he might have been taken by her as early as #519, despite the fact that she is neither lithe nor blonde.
4) How masochistic they both are. Seriously, we're talking two basket cases here. They only seem normal and sane because we got Hanners throwing the curve off.
Econoline:
: Definitely : Dora
For many reasons, most already mentioned:

--- Quote from: Blackcat Moebius on 06 Mar 2008, 20:13 ---There's debate about this? Dora, hands down.
Dora has several other possible sources of anger.
- Dora is actively paranoid that Faye might make a play for Marten. There's several ways that this situation could, at least in Dora's mind, make that more likely.
- Dora has warned Sven off from Faye as well - for *his* sake. (She's worried that Faye will mess up Sven like she did Marten.)
- Dora's been flirting (jokingly?) with Faye for the whole run of the comic. She just might feel a twinge of sibling jealousy.
- The 'ewww' factor (Purple elephants! Everything is ruined forever!)

Plus Dora has said so many times that she'd be furious at Sven if this happened that she has by now convinced herself that that is how she'll feel, and so she does. (Did that just make any sense at all? If not...oh,well.)
However...
--- Quote from: bunnyThor on 06 Mar 2008, 20:00 ---Mitigating Factor: Faye gave Dora a free pass when she hooked up with Faye.
--- End quote ---
(You meant "...with Marten" but we get the point.)
Not only that, Dora's been encouraging Faye recently to "push her boundaries" and "have herself a good hard bang." She should be happy that (a) Faye took her advice, and (b) she did it with Sven instead of Marty. (If she thought about it at all, the possibility of Faye suddenly hooking up with just some random stranger would obviously be completely ridiculous.)
Also, she was always much more emphatic about SVEN not making a pass at FAYE, not the other way around. If Faye is honest and tells Dora that she initiated it, enjoyed it, and doesn't regret it, I think Dora will have to realize that she can't be too angry with Sven about it. And I do think that Faye might want to protect Sven from Dora's wrath now
AND Dora once told Faye that Sven needs to date a girl like Faye, who'll beat some sense into him, and Faye has definitely shown herself to be up to the task several times now. (Heh, I almost said she's shown she had it in her. :evil:)
