Ehh, the food to face/mouth scale looks pretty alright to me, but I don't know the first thing about drawing, so...

A technique pioneered by Terry Pratchett, the only way to not think of an object when it is mentioned is to not actually know what that object looks like.
Sadly, I was forced to watch quite a lot of edumacational videos in Biology, so... :cry: :psyduck:
I feel kind of like Jeph was trolling us in that newspost.

Is it cold in here?:
Tai likes them tall, dark, and handsome. Remember Bailey?

A question for the ages. I came over here just to ask that, in order to complete the mental image.

"Even Tai"? Her being attracted to a girl is nothing extraordinary. The trope technically only applies when a character is so attractive even straight girls are attracted.

It could be worse, I guess. At least none of us (I rather think) know what a purple elephant boner would taste like.

(...aaaaaand you're welcome.)

I'm not sure where all this Emily love comes from. Yes, she's tall and asian, which is different. But thus far, Claire has the most actual character development. All we know about Emily is that she loves the smell of books, she's in Compsci, and the idea of a smashed bananna is a cup amuses her. This makes her 'cooler'?

I find Claire more relatable. She's driven, she's a skosh insecure, she's passionate, she wants to make a good impression ,but doesn't brook bullshit...and she actually looks *different* than any character thus far. And is different, really. She's not Marigold, she's not Hannelore.

As they are right now, she's not love interest material for Marten. Maybe she never will be. But of all those introduced, she's the one I like best. Maybe that will change, but...

HiFranc:
On the topic of not thinking of something when it's mentioned is to play a word association game.  Once someone said to me it was impossible to resist the "Don't think of a camel."  He then asked me if I was thinking of a camel and I honestly answered "No."

I was, however, thinking of The Pyramids.

Let's look at it another way:

[*] She has the get up an go to get things done (Claire commented that she beat other applicants to get in),
[*] But she's easy going (e.g. didn't make a big deal about anything and asked to join Tai),
[*] The above things mean that she's assertive (whereas Claire's aggressive), and
[*] She oozes a quiet confidence.
[/list]

In short: she knows what she wants, puts a lot of effort into getting it but doesn't make a big deal out of it.

{edit}In other words both Claire and Emily are ambitious but Emily still finds the time to enjoy life and Claire gives the impression that she's so driven she'll either turn into a workaholic, have a nervous breakdown or both.
