--- Quote from: stoutfiles on 15 Jul 2011, 08:00 ---Our Tai experiences include trying to be naked during an apartment move, showing off her vagina, getting drunk and hopping on people...
Tai, like many people, say one thing but do something else. But I'm not mad about that, I'm mad that she shows no respect for Marten who is her one true friend in the group. She does not love Dora, it is a crush. She barely knows Dora. She could just wait a while and not stab her friend in the back.

None of those things are indicative of an inability to maintain a monogamous relationship. More an indication of an enjoyment of drunken buffoonery than anything else, and also a general lack of modesty or shame in her body.
Tequlla makes Tai's clothes fall off. That's all.
Anyway unlike the rest of the cast Tai's just a girl. Young, immature, she lives in another world entirely. I mean we've gone in depth into the fact that her life is all college drama and hormonal barely adults trading partners. A crush is a huge deal for people in that age demographic. She's probably never even dated anyone exclusively for more than a few months. Might not even actually have experienced love as such yet. All just part of the journey. What you describe as a stab in the back I'm sure she sees as nothing quite so noteworthy, and what you describe as a crush I'm sure she doesn't view as quite so insignificant. It's a difference of perspective here.

Her clothes fall off when she's around Dora, sober or not. Her line of thinking seems to be that getting naked will make Dora want to have sex with her. It's pathetic in a disturbing way.
At least you agree she's young and immature unlike some other people. I just find that annoying...she's either a horrible friend, an awful comic relief character, or both.

Her clothes fall when she's drunk. Of the three times when Tai has removed her clothes in the comic, two of them have involved her being completely and utterly smashed. Her removing her top at Dora's new place was just another mark of her impulsiveness. This was a woman who, literally on the spur of the moment, thought it would be a good idea to get her hood pierced.
She's dealing with new ideas and new feelings, and when Tai acts on them she does end up with her foot in her mouth. As it is at the moment, thats fine. Tai is still a kid, despite being in college, so yeah, she should be immature and leaping before looking. The only time a college student should be mature is when they're over the age of 23. :laugh:

--- Quote from: JackFaerie on 14 Jul 2011, 21:58 ---I don't understand why everyone is acting like Tai is completely incapable of serious relationships. If you recall when she was first introduced, Tai was the one WANTING to have a serious, committed relationship with a girl who only did poly arrangements.

In case anyone wants the archive reference, it is here and in the next two strips.
This, from one of our earliest encounters with her, demonstrates that Tai is not a polyamorist, and can hold desires for a monogamous relationship. She's lustdriven and immature, and she's certainly not opposed to casual flings after having conformed to the Smif standard, but she has higher ideals, and this isn't the first time she's lusted after someone in such a way. It is lust though, and I think she'd struggle with the emotional side of a long-term relationship. But so do most people at this age. They still want it nonetheless, even if they don't realise the difficulty, and they still attempt it, but not normally with someone so much older than them.
It's not just that Dora is older. It's that she has crossed the threshold of maturity while Tai is still trying to break down the door with her clitoris. If they were each a few years older I reckon it'd be a lot more workable, despite the age gap being the same. On the whole, as much as I think Tai would be willing to commit to monogamy and really does want that, Dora is not the best person for her to be crushing on. It'll never happen.
So yeah, my opinion on Tai is that she is foolish and immature, but she's not some evil-seductress-devil-slut-from-hell or whatever some people seem to think she is, and there are way worse people than her in that Sapphic free-for-all they call a college.

Good point. Her actions are an accurate portrayal of character type. She's a young person who is impulsive and whose behaviour is lacking in wisdom. You may as well complain that your dog can't read.

(changed my mind, sorry.)
SirDudley:
I hate it when both legs fall asleep. It's such a weird feeling....you have to experience it to understand.
My guess is that Jeph wanted to put things on hold in a sensible manner by ending the week like this. Now I wonder what the guest week will entail. Anyone know the lineup for the guests?
