--- Quote from: TheBiscuit on 01 Feb 2011, 21:01 ---Well... have you ever read a bad fanfic? The kind that pairs up the characters as the fan in question sees fit? The progression of the relationship just doesn't seem to ring true, you know? That's how I feel about the development of Faye having a relationship with anyone at all. It just can't ring true for me. It isn't really an Angus thing, even though he's a dull and uninteresting character. It would be just as bizarre if she started dating Marten. Her reaction seems like it should always be either the one she had for him, or the one she had for Sven.
Character development is good, but I just can't buy her getting over it. A real person would, but she's a character and her neuroses are the central point upon which her character was built. I don't think it's valid to change a character that much.

Hmm, I suppose. A person can and will change as much as she has, and her character these days is becoming more based on how she's breaking past her neuroses, which is what the Angus relationship is showing.
Thinking about it though... how long has it been in the QC world since the whole Sven thing? Perhaps not as long as a real person would take to achieve the same progress, so I'm starting to see your point. However, I still believe the relationship between Angus and Faye is a good one; they have a nice dynamic. Now that the breakup drama seems to have mostly subsided, we should get more of an opportunity to see where this goes, which may help validate the course of events.
Is it cold in here?:
Does Hannelore even have a TV? Strip 590 isn't definitive, but it sure sounds like she doesn't.
EDIT: Momo-tan has holographic projection equipment. Couldn't she log on to Hulu or Netflix or whatever and display the video?

I don't hate Faye and Angus as a couple, so I guess? Even if I think it's all a bit contrived, they aren't the worst thing to happen to the strip. It makes me a bit sad to see how it affects Marigold, but that's all. I'm a total hypocrite where she's concerned, mind you. If she were to be shoe-horned into a happy relationship with completely contrived development, I'd be happy. Just because it's Marigold being happy.

Maybe but the newspost for this suggests she might own one. Of course she could be watching them on her laptop.

Well, there's one thing we definitely agree on. :p Ever since the whole Dale thing happened, it's been fairly obvious that they will end up together eventually, because these things just seem to work that way. That won't be for a while though.
Moving back to the present day, I'm actually fairly surprised how well she's taking it. Angus is the only person she's ever felt she had a genuine chance with, and Faye has started dating him quite soon after she got rejected. All she's really done is sulk about it a little; if it was me I'd probably be curled up under my blanket lacking the motivation to do anything at all. >_>
