If I were Faye I'd want some Midnight Hobo too. No matter how this goes, you just know Faye's gonna have to deal with the fallout. Might as well have one good night before you catch the drama.

She's a sweet, intelligent shut-in who could use a good, solid relationship, and needs someone who is patient, kind and tolerant.
Marten would be just the guy!
Or Tai. But she's not a guy. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
But anywho, seriously- what would be so horrible about Marten and Marigold? They're both fundamentally good people, they both deserve some happiness, and they're both patient enough to not fly off the handle at the slightest offense.

Marten is a semipopular hipster dude. He has noooooooo fucking clue how to deal with obsessive, unsocialized nerd girls. No fucking clue in Hell. And he, with the issues that people have pointed out quite adroitly, would end up ruining Marigold within the first week. Or at least that's my read of that ship, that and Marten ain't attracted to the submissive type that Marigold seems to be. He likes powerful women, or he wouldn't have gone for Dora or Faye.
Also wow 13 pages and holy fucking wow this is getting too intense.
I wonder if Marten has actually been obsessed with Faye this entire time? I wonder if he was lying to Dora for, well, most of their relationship?
I wonder if he's going to try for something with her? And how badly that will turn out?
Aaaaaaalso despite my defense of Dora, yes, girl needs to actually act on what she's saying. She said she'd try, and she goes right back around and does some stupid self-sabotaging shit, even if Marten is a spineless ass who gives mixed signals more than a confused tugboat trying to Morse code the Gettysburg address, and that's not okay. Sven needs to get real with his sister. And someone should put shit in perspective for Marten, too, before he goes and fucks this up.
Bitterness and jealousy are death in a relationship, so dogg is cruisin' for a bruisin'

Why not? That might have been true when I was younger, or when I used a shared computer... but not anymore. There are two people who might ever use this computer, me and my girlfriend. She knows I watch porn, and isn't really interested in checking out what I watch. I don't see any reason not to keep it in a folder clearly marked "porn". You know, just like I keep my other files in folders clearly marked with the contents.
Today's strip has left me with decidedly mixed feelings. On the one hand, I'm glad that Marten went to see Faye about this since she's his best friend. On the other, I'm sort of worried that Marten seems to have accepted the idea that he will reconcile with Dora no matter what. That would appear to spell disaster for my agenda. I don't even care if there's some chance they could work out their issues and have an uneventful (I did not say happy...) relationship. I just want them to split up so Marten has the chance to pursue a relationship with someone who deserves him.
I'm also a bit cross with myself for letting this comic matter so damn much. The format limits the pace of plot development such that it could be weeks or even months before I really get to know how this turns out, and I'm already on the edge of my seat. I don't particularly want to live in perpetual squeaky bum time for the next month while this resolves... in some ways I'd really like to be distracted from it for a good long while until the crisis is over.
You see, despite everything I said earlier about having accepted that Marten/Faye (Fayten? Martye?) is probably a pairing we'll never see, I can't help but allow myself a glimmer of hope. Damned if I can understand why this should be so important to me. I would like to imagine QC as a great romantic comedy, in which the One True Pairing go through many trials and tribulations before finally being allowed their blissful moment of union, but increasingly I realise that QC is more just one big long exercise in Ship Tease and Will They Or Won't They.
I have nothing against Angus as a character. He's a reasonably nice guy, and he's probably good for Faye... but she has such a connection with Marten that her relationship with Angus seems a trifle shallow by comparison. The thing about Toto is surely a red herring - they have that one thing, does that really stack up against everything that Faye and Marten have? The same could be said (only far more so) about Marten and Dora.
I can't help being a Fayten shipper. It's what really kept me reading the comic... Marten and Faye both as friends and as a potential pairing. Other characters have grown on me, but I still see it as being their story.
HOLY SHIT 12 NEW REPLIES WHILE TYPING. :psyduck:

Shit, I was Faye I would take that fifth, head to Angus', and move into his room for the next week. I mean, sorry Mar-bear, but I would not wish this kind of drama on anyone ever or even for it to show up in their radius of friendships. This is nuclear drama.
In point of fact, pretty much the entire cast needs to move into bunkers for a while until Dora and Marten have sorted this and decided what they're going to do.
