--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 01 Jun 2010, 12:38 ---TAG, Marigold did lend Hanners her anime and did invite her over for a movie, even if it took Momo's translator unit to figure out that it was an invitation.

True, but its still Hanners taking an interest / participating in Marigold things with Marigold, rather than Marigold making a real effort to do something with Hanners that Hanners likes.  It is lucky for Marigold that Hanners at least seems to have a casual interest in those things, but it's still Marigold expecting Hanners to... hrm hard to describe... "come to her" I guess.

On the other hand, in just 2 random insomniac strips, Dora and Hanners look much more like real friends just from doing laundry and baking a cake together.  Hannelore at least seemed to be very pleased with carrot cake, much more so than Dora.

Edit: To be fair, if Marigold was just a bad-to-mediocre friend I could probably tolerate it (for now).  After all, she just came from only having one robot friend.  However, when piled on with the treatment of that friend (Momo) and Angus, she just becomes someone who I wouldn't like.  Since I don't like her, it becomes harder to excuse her whining and constant self-pity, and harder to find excuses for her increasingly more bizarre bouts of awkwardness, which then feeds into my dislike of the character.  The only thing I really like about Marigold is that she serves as a great springboard to show how great Momo, Hanners, and Angus are... and maybe that's her purpose in QC.

More like 50th time(for me anyway), but I agree she needs to get to that moment. Angus is not being a very good friend for denying her that moment IMO.

Ghanima Atreides:
Uhhh, he is being a good friend precisely for being honest with her on this one. Besides, it's not Angus' responsability to solve Marigold's issues; it would not only be an insanely bad idea as far as her overcoming her whole "woe is me" phase, but it would most likely result in endless awkwardness and guilt on both sides, costing them their friendship. He's already stated it isn't something he wants, he isn't her sex toy. Plus, Angus can probably forget the thing with Faye if he let himself be guilt-tripped into this by Marigold...which is something I think he knows as well.

Moxie:
NeverQuiteGoth - are you saying Angus is a bad friend to Marigold because he won't have sex with her? If that is what you are saying, are you being completely serious about that??

If so, I'm totally with Ghanima Atreides: Angus is in no way responsible for solving Marigold's issues - that's Marigold's responsibility.

Tuitsuro:
Mind you, I don't think Marigold is unsalvagable.  It was the same way with Hannelore, Marigold has a lack of experience with other people so how she comes off is rude and awkward; she may not entirely mean to be.  It's just something she needs to work on.  Hannelore is an excellent example of a person who's worked on how she interacts with people and pushed her own limits in order to do so.  Also, you guys are right in saying that Angus is not responsible for solving Marigold's problems.  But he also shouldn't be an enabler for those problems.
