And acknowledging a 23%/13% chance as a possibility rather than automatically converting that number to 0% (which I am saying originates in homophobia) is "excessive"?

Firstly , using this number is an gross overestimate a) incidence of homosexuality certainly does not exceed 5% (look at STATISTICS) secondly none of them can be homosexual since both enjoy looking at MEN!
It is interesting that you object to choosing the most probable possibility - at the chance being 1:19 at best and QC already having several such characters , finding another would be statistically anonymous (since the only common set of them is the place where they live, so the sample should contain a distribution similar to general populace (key word should NOT must which still makes such a guess legitimate))
And what does 'originate in homophobia' even mean ...

Oh, you haven't 'pissed me off' IanClark. I don't really get pissed off. But I guess your big wall o' text did make me flinch.
I know that an actual relationship between Hannelore and Marigold is unrealistic. But I like to look at them that way. The one fandom I was involved in that had a prominent canon gay couple recently killed one part of that couple off, and I find myself slashing more voratiously then ever before in reaction. My slashing had chilled out a bit, because my fandom didn't need photoshop, and now I'm back to looking at a world of fiction where I either don't exist, only exist as a minor character you almost never see, or gets killed off.
Damn. I'm always surprised by how angry I am by that. Erm. Sorry. That also was not germane to the topic.

So...does anyone here think that Hannelore would write/read fanfiction? I'm not sure.
Gosh, Hannelore is adorable today! "Wow, twelve?" She looked so happy for Marigold! Poor thing. XD They make great friends, no doubt about that.

Welcome to the internet, we're kinda pervy, have some.
In real life, hanners and marigold start hanging out, watching yaoi, people go 'aww, that's cute, the socially awkward but super nice and cool girls are befriending each other. right on.'
On the internet, hanners and marigold start hanging out, watching yaoi, and people go, 'aww, that's cute the socially awkward but super nice and cool girls are befriending each other. They should totally hook up, because this is a fantasy world and it would be cuter if they were getting some and all the guys are either attached or chasing faye'
This was also my reaction to the pastry ballistics scene... 'hey, faye and angus are having a conflict/angst-free interaction... they should totally bone' and i'm a total sven/faye fan. And considering the basic 'Nerdery and Flirting' basis of the comic, i really fail to see these kinds of 'formations of ideas before the shipping' are inappropriate.
Delirium:
Marigold's nose looks REALLY unappealing from the side.
maddness:
I think Marigold's face is my favorite of all the QC characters partly because of her nose.
