--- Quote from: Bumblebee on 16 Nov 2010, 20:25 ---If I was Marten I would just try and convey to Faye that I didn't care about her hangups, but it'd be tough. I think this is one of those instances where the man really needs to take control - he should just get drunk with her, then gently but firmly rub her up against a wall by her wrists and start kissing and dry humping her while whispering in her ear about how much he likes her, sexually as well as a friend. Though at first she might be disconcerted or disorientated it's important he never stop - Marten is passive by nature but if he apologises and walks away it will just add to Faye's abandonment issues as she'll feel that her crying or screaming for him to stop has pushed him away. Unfortunately I don't think Marten has the willpower to do this ... really, what he needs is a good friend who would help him out by lacing his drink with cocaine or some other aggressant that would allow him to really let his inhibitions go and confess his feelings, but I don't think any are up to it :-(

... really?
REALLY?!
I'm... I'm... I'm speechless.

To be honest I think Faye and Marten make a better couple than Marten and Dora, but the problem is Faye is so screwed up she won't make a move on anyone she actually likes - only people she views as soulless flesh dildoes like Angus and Sven. Really it has to be Marten to make the first move.

I've never gotten the impression Faye felt this way about Angus. There was really a lot of character development in Faye during that period, and she even had a talk with Marten where she admitted that she would have done it differently if she could do it again, and that she didn't handle it well with him. But she's also pretty much acknowledged that ship has sailed. Her relationship with Angus seems very stable so far. Started with flirting, then hanging out in group situations, getting more comfortable with each other, moving into dating, and then making out. At the same time, the "Toto" conversation certainly seems to indicate she's comparing her feelings about Angus to her feelings about Marten (to some extent at least) and finding out that she's in a good place, emotionally (or at least a much better one than during the Sven debacle or the Marten near-miss).
At this point, Faye and Marten isn't unlikely because she's horrendously screwed up...that was true a thousand strips ago, but much less so now. Faye and Marten is unlikely because Faye has moved on, has found someone, and is pretty happy and thus far seems very well-adjusted.
Edit: Ha ha ha...I think I skimmed over your last paragraph without reading it. Clearly I've just fallen victim to a troll...well played, sir. I suppose my retort is moot.

HOLY BALLS MY MIND IS BLOWN. It's a duck! IT'S A DUCK?!
I thought it was a chubby yellow guy with a yellow beard, smiling and pawing at his head. And no, I never wondered why it would be that. This is the internet, after all.
My entire world has been tossed into disarray.

What worries me more is that he might just be a new user and actually serious ):

I JUST READ THE WHOLE THREAD.
Conclusion: you guys are out of your mind. All of you. Also me. :psyduck:
As for everyone trying to determine what Marten/Dora/Anyone else should do: They should do whatever they want to goddammit. There is no universal code for what to do in a given situation, and what is the "best" choice for anyone is entirely up to what their own personal goals are in any situation.
As none of you are that character, none of you can credibly argue what any character SHOULD do without a vast amount of clarification regarding what assumptions you are making for the goals the characters in this strip have in mind. I think that's causing a lot of the frankly embarrassing communication problems in this thread.
To the people arguing whose fault it is: Stop it, nothing is that black and white. QC is drawn in colour!
