I have to say, even a crazy person could probably see Faye'd set her dependents free the first time she shifted position. Sven's overly detailed description backs that up—if you've ever seen one of those girls he's talking about walking about wearing only a t-shirt in one of those videos my friends forced me to watch back in the day*, you know what I mean.
Plus, doesn't Dora already know Faye doesn't sleep in a bra? (Does anyone actually do that?) She looked fairly unsupported back when she and Dora were standing around without pants, too.
--- Quote from: Lost Coastlines on 10 Sep 2010, 02:51 ---When I postulated the exes were goth versions of pre-Faye Sven, I had a similar feeling. It seemed a little icky. But maybe she felt if she could be with someone like Sven, then she was as desirable/successful/etc. as Sven. More rivalry-related than icky.
I agree with a lot of what you said, but I wanted to add my own thought. Back when Dora was explaining her issues with Sven, she said popularity/girls/grades/professional success all came really easily to him and that she had to try to do a fraction as well as he did. Then look at how Dora and Faye have done romantically since the comic started. Marten, Angus, and Sven all fell pretty hard for Faye without any effort on her part. Dora had to pursue Marten after Faye told him nothing would happen. Yet again Dora finds herself in a situation where someone she is close to succeeds effortlessly when she has to really try to do just partially as well (though this time it was, in part, of her own making). Is it possible that some of the rivalry and jealousy she felt with Sven has been transferred to Faye? If so, then for Marten to leave her for Faye would feel a lot like the times her so-called friends would ditch her to hook up with her brother. Just another reason why she would react so irrationally to finding Marten and Faye in a compromising position.

I think rivalry, if you want to call it that, is the ticket. Dora doesn't want to boff Sven—she wants to be wanted like he is. I see what you're getting at about Dora and Faye, but at the same time it's a great stretch to see Faye, as defensive as she is, as Sven. Until, of course, Faye starts having sex with Sven. Then, my friend, you've a very definite case, if only because that situation throws Dora back into her old dynamic, something she's being trying to leave behind: hence her dropping the Goth thing, being interested in Marty as opposed to her usual 'type,' and so on.

My partner does. She complains that they are uncomfortable and shifty and wears a sports bra.

No shit, some morons over there are actually arguing that burning the Koran would be a smart thing to do in the thread they have over there discussing it and I'm having a very hard time not crossing even the very far-flung lines there telling them how fucking stupid they are.

Ha. I liked what wheezywaiter said about that: "I also like to protest isolated incidents involving small groups of people in a way that will offend billions."
And re: comic, sleeping in a bra is the most uncomfortable thing. They're made for sitting upright/standing, not lying down and twisting around. I can't see the point of wearing one to bed. :|

--- End quote ---
I'm sorry, "very rude"? Did I miss them? As I read his comments on her wonderful boobage, they are admiring, respectful, and impressed, not rude. My favorite former GF had the body and breasts of a goddess, and she wore sports bras, almost exclusively.
One could definitely tell when she did without.
It was distracting to nearby male brains, such as mine, and perhaps I retain that awestruck, hushed, even worshipful state of mind, when Sven mentions these natural wonders. :sigh:

I could understand that, actually. I have DD's and am unable to sleep on my stomach because of it. Wearing a shirt at the very least is mandatory, due to flopping, or "shifting," when I turn over.
