Mad Cat:
Earth to Marigold. Come in Marigold. Do you read us?
Apparently, according to Twitter, she's too busy on planet WoW berating DPSes to respond.
Jander:
Faye's behavior is only wrong if it actually bothers/offends the people she hangs out with and does it around.
Hell when i was in my teens and early 20's I totally knew people who would just hit each other on the shoulder or something for whatever applicable reason, no one cared, it didn't make the behavior wrong. Hell, i've offered my shoulder to people before when they say they just want to punch something really hard. I say go ahead. It's not gonna do any damage, and its not gonna wound my ego or hurt my feelings. In some groups its considered acceptable to say horrible cruel offensive things to your friends and no one gets mad, because that's just the way they do things.
If the people in QC universe actually cared that Faye was punching people, then they would stand up to Faye and say hey, stop hitting people or we aren't going to be friends anymore. If no one in the qc universe actually seems to care or think its a problem, then I see no reason why I should care about behavior deemed acceptable in a social circle.

--- Quote from: JackFaerie ---Dammit, Faye's propensity for physical violence is NOT cute, and NOT ok, and should not be bemusedly tolerated or enabled by her friends. The fact that she thinks she's completely allowed to hit--and not just playfully--people (men) at her whim and pleasure is morally disgusting,and I'm getting to be only a little LESS disgusted at the fact that Dora, Marten, et al, continue to let it happen without comment.

I'm definitely in agreement with you on this. There are many times that Pintsize deserves to be hit, can't deny that, but quite often, whatever something Marten said certainly didn't deserve much beyond playful punchings, much less something that really hurt, or bruised him. Faye shouldn't be punching people hard enough they need an ice pack - that sort of violence would definitely qualify for domestic violence, if they were in a relationship, wouldn't it? I get that it kind of is a way Faye shows affection, or deals with feelings she's frightened of, but that doesn't make it right at all, and I too don't know why it's not brought up with Dora/Marten or even in her therapy sessions.
--- Quote from: Heranje ---Hmm. I wonder how Marigold will react to this. She could think Faye is flirting with Angus specifically to hurt her. She hasn't had the greatest impression of Faye so far, knows that Faye knows she likes Angus, and was not aware of the Faye-Angus prior to this. She also seems to expect people to be mean to her - I know what that's like, because it's how I thought before I got friends.

My initial read through had me picturing Marigold as somewhat deflated - even though Angus has told her he's not interested, Marigold's behavior has indicated she's still kinda chasing him. Now she realized she's got competition for him, and I suspect she'll be extremely passive-aggressive towards him, and kind of bitchy towards Faye. She might withdrawl a bit, but she's also drinking (though apparently isn't drunk), so you never know what she might decide to do. I could see her thinking Faye is doing this specifically to be mean, but I could also see Marigold finally connecting the dots to Angus's clues (getting coffee served by a hot girl, or else just always going to the coffee shop in general). So she may just be thinking about how dumb she feels because she threw herself at Angus and he was already into Faye.
I'm sort of expecting waterworks and running from the room.
smilesvssmirks:
I voted other.
Because I think Angus is going to attempt to make the best of this moment without either girl getting pissed or scampering off into their hibernation caves of shame, only to end up putting his foot in his mouth.
I really hope Marigold doesn't get angry. I think scampering off and crying would be more likely and in character. But still. In a perfect world she would just accept the fact and go back to laughing at youtube videos. Angus has been courtin' Faye for months. Something Marigold would know if she actually had a friendship with her roommate and not just lived in her room all day. Angus and Faye having some sort of attraction to each other is not new. Unlike Marigolds spontaneous decision to be in love with Angus just because - holy shit, male attention! She has no real right or claim to get mad here, IMO. And if she gets whimpery and Hanners goes off to coddle and comfort her? Well my thoughts on that?
*vomit*
Quit feeling sorry for yourself, you pathetic lout. She brings her boy/friend problems upon herself. She never leaves her room, never showers, thus has no real social skills, etc. Sorry, if I sound like a bitch. But I just don't feel that compassionate for the annoying presence that is Marigold.

Ditto. I'm honestly surprised she hasn't been hit back by somebody yet. I'm not entirely sure that I wouldn't, given the situation. Unexpected punchings have lead to me nearly tearing people's piercings out in the past.
Edit: Which probably makes me as bad as Faye oh joy
