--- Quote from: Murphoid on 16 Nov 2010, 09:25 ---I am very interested in this storyline, and I think a Dora / Martin split would be very interesting. Also watching who the other characters side with would be quite neat. Who would Faye side with? I wonder if the break up would cause problems with her relationship, as she is kinda fragile - psyche wise.

You know, that's an interesting point. Over the underwear incident Faye sided with Marten and called Dora out on her inappropriate behavior. But Faye was there, and she knew what happened. Here, we have Dora going off on an idea Faye had. Would Faye even take sides at all? Would she call Dora out on her inappropriate actions, as well as tell Marten he needs to be more aggressive whenever something matters to him?

It's been hard for me to judge the motivations of Faye and Dora recently also. When Hanners wanted her imaginary date they went into full blown parental mode yet when Marigold was in the same situation with Tai, they thought it was funny. It will indeed be very very interesting to see Faye's reaction.
Sylette:
Speaking as someone who is about as sexually open as Dora (possibly more), this relationship probably isn't going to work out. That being said, this fight won't be the last. They aren't actually broken up yet-- Dora's probably going to talk to Sven and realize that she's got a lot of issues but she'll still want Marten at her side. And judging by Marten's expression in the last panel, he'll be fine with that. Dora will keep trying to get herself under control, but they'll still have fights occasionally. Finally, after several months of beating a dead horse, a friendly, non-traumatic break-up will happen involving the realization that they are better off friends and then a sweet parting of ways.
Dora doesn't understand Marten's sexual inhibition, and she's probably never going to. Sure, she can maybe kinda-sorta look at it logically and deduce that perhaps Marten's upbringing has messed with his head a little. But she won't truly understand that. Most sexually open people don't. I mean, they accept that people like Marten exist, sure...but on some level they feel like those people can just be shaken up a bit, and all will be right with the world (see: Rocky Horror Picture Show).
Dora needs someone like my boyfriend...an SO that laughingly encourages her to rub chocolate all over her breasts and wave them in the face of a female, bi-curious roommate until said roommate licks them.
Someone like Tai, perhaps? :3
Oh, and Marten and Faye need to make teh kisses.

The Coffee of Doom wasn't doing so well, then she overworked herself (60 hours a week!), then she hired two not-really-perfect employees (I am under the impression that Penelopes hiring was a lot less difficult), then she got all worked up over the Hanners/Sven-Thing (whether she was right or not is not the question, it added stress). She's bottling it up, too, and letting it out on Marten.

I've been getting similar vibes. Partly from personal experience. Professionally Dora has been bearing quite a heavy load, and sooner or later that spills on your loved ones. After the underwear incident I wanted to suggest that Dora and Marten should take a honeymoon vacation together, but I was missing out on my activation e-mail. I'm afraid now they may need something else.
Then again. Could Dora trust Faye enough to leave her in charge for a week? May be? After all, she is the most experienced barista (other than Dora herself), and should have picked up most of the things by now.

Considering everything that has happened so far that would be crazy drama. I don't know about any of that other stuff.
