Dr. ROFLPWN:
Not even gonna try to quote it will be a nightmare. OK GO
Jedraft: I am fully briefed on the fact that QC is in fact more real than Kraft Mayo. I also think that despite being realer than real, to call what Marten has been experiencing the past week of strips "emotional abuse/torture" at best is incredibly silly and demonstrates profound ignorance of such a subject and is at worst irresponsible and misrepresentative. That being said, again, who am I but a guy on the Internet, you can be overwrought if you like.
Pika: Distegarding perhaps? She seems more "ignorant", to me; she's definitely back in established mother-child patterns. I think she isn't a stupid person, but she's reading Marty wrong and he's not helping. Again, her whip-crack discipline is out of line on an adult, yes, but I think she has been being a bumbling confused parent with communication issues and clouded emotions, not an actively malicious force.
To wax a little more philosophical, I'm surprised you find the quote patronizing; it's easy to conceive of "just surviving", and equally easy to believe that others' experience will help, but...hell, look at Marten right now. I'm sure V isn't a stranger to hard breakups or emotional pain, but for all her experience in moving forward, she's no help! His friends are likewise unhelpful. He's essentially alone and the thing giving him direction is totally gone. Given resources he can survive, sure, but...it's hard. And nobody else understands.
Olymander: I like the cut of your jib, sirrah, and I do believe I approve of your posts (bask in the approval!)
ChibiSoma: ... please stop? Please. Yes, we understand that Dora is a bitch. It has been repeated so often that it has no value and it had little to start with. We also understand that you don't like the rest of the female cast much either. I am trying to think of a post of yours in here that does not involve you calling a female character a derogatory term or implying that one is guilty of some great crime. I can't think of one. Please don't keep just doing that, because it is repetitive and pointless and not good dialogue.
Okay, that's off my chest! I feel better now. To TACO BELL!

--- Quote from: iduguphergrave on 07 Jan 2011, 19:48 ---I agree. For those of you wishing Marten would sack up and stand up for himself to Veronica, ask yourself: Would you be able to yell at your mom?

Real mom: Kind of hard, since she's six feet under.

This might make me sound like an arsehole, but I've actually used the alternate response of "I dunno, you got a ouiji board?" to when someone poses that question (usually if I'm pissed off and the person asking actually knows me).
Seriously, mothers are the easiest people to get angry at, because most of the time, we know they love us unconditionally. And they are also the undisputed mistresses of guilt-tripping us.
Back to the anger. There are often just two people in the world who can ever say they've known us for our entire lives, our parents. They know the fears, the dreams, when we're sick, when we're faking it to get out of doing something. They know what makes us tick and what can get us down. They also have a tendency to hit every switch that pisses us off. If you imagine someone like a swiss clock that is need of delicate, gentle repair, a parent is often the first one in to try and fix it. But instead of slowly removing the broken pieces, they've brought a sledgehammer in to get to the root of the problem. We're expect our parents to be able to fix any problem, but as we get older, we find that they have had completely different life experiences to us, and often they don't know what to do, and that is what angers us. We want a solution and they can't help.
As for the guilt-tripping, read the whole of the last paragraph, its valid.

I like that waffles is a close second, and would like to find a way to combine waffles and Marten RAAAGE
