More than "NOT DORA"

Sweet Tits :psyduck:
This thread needed more psyduck.
edit: I didn't find this as funny as I thought I would so I'll make an actual suggestion.
Hanners. Yes. Why? It seems most of her advancements in handling her OCD has stemmed from interactions from him. Also, she's adorable, and would be highly entertaining to watch her deal with trying to actually have a relationship.

--- Quote from: Coco on 16 Nov 2010, 14:25 ---It's not that weird. Studies show that men (in general) have a fairly narrow template with regard to what they find "attractive" in a lady compared to what a lady (in general) may find attractive in a gentleman. I think most people, ladies and gentlemen, will work within their template assuming they have plenty of options to choose from. Soluzar likely just had the freedom of choice to not work outside of his preferred template and therefore never widened it. Sven may have explained it best here.

That comic sort of explains it except that my freedom of choice was never so wide as that Sven used to enjoy. I'm not some kind of egotist to think that. I have been pretty lucky with the opportunities that came my way though. More by chance than because I'm remarkable enough to deserve them.

Something else i noticed about Dora. During the whole "Faye returns from her date" sequence, Dora reacted badly to Marten waking her up and asking what her favorite Toto song was. Now, while i personally dont fully understand the meaning behind the question aside from some possible synchronization attempt, the reaction clued me into the coming explosion, as well as keyed me into another of Dora's flaws.
She doesn't look back. Ever. Now, while in some cases this would be a positive trait, being that it means the person does not dwell on the past and reduces the lingering pain from a previous incident; in this case, it proves a negative one. Because she doesn't ever look back, she doesnt even look back on the good things. Let alone the things she honestly needs to pay attention to. While understandable she'd forget about the potential significance of the query, usually my own partner goes back and remembers something discussed or brought up the night before, even when she was asleep and i woke her up with it. Seeing Dora's personality of "push forward no matter what", Dora never looked back at the question and asked herself "wait...why did he ask that?" Nor did she ask him that question.
Now for us readers, we see the significance of her rejection of his synchronization attempt, he was clearly distressed about her reaction, as well as her words, but being who he is, he pushed it aside, probably figuring "it was a bad time to ask anyway". However for some of us it was a clue in that things would start being shaken during their relationship again.
Dora will take a lot of work before she's good for anyone, let alone Marten. all of these personality flaws are of such proportions that it just makes her a ticking time-bomb that never wants to remember when she did wrong, and only when others did.
While Marten does indeed need to grow a pair sometimes, it's been shown that when it comes to cards on the table, he'll stand up for himself and his thoughts if need be. At the same time, he's also willing to listen and go back and visit a past failure or pain to attempt to break it down and understand it. Faye, Hannelore and what we've seen of even Penelope do the same. Dora does not, and as such perpetuates her own difficulties, which in turn prevents her from having a stable relationship.
While i'm personally a fan of the Faye and Marten pairing, Faye is indeed currently beginning a relationship with someone else, and it is indeed interesting to see them coming. As well, i fully agree with an above poster when they mentioned that at this point Hanners isnt ready for a physical relationship with anyone right now, but would best benefit (as well as we would, there is NEVER too much Hanners) from spending more time with Marten, as done previously. From there...well, anything can happen. Hannelore is a strong girl, and as well, she IS getting more interested in wanting to pursue a physical relationship.

One vote Marten tries dating Hanners/Marigold, he can teach them how to be slutty indie show girls.

Follow up #2 about the Marten/Hanners experiment...
I had forgotten all about this comic: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1659
This is what I picture with Marten/Hanners. Such an opportunity to explore both characters in new situations, and it's totally adorable as is, without any romantic entanglements.
