WCDT: 2241-45 (30 July-3 August 2012) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Boxilar:
I see this as a minor thing in the long run. Tai is crushing hard on Dora and is overreacting to the idea that Marten might be discussing her with Dora. She tends to do this. Last night (comic time) she called herself a bad friend to Marten for wanting to pursue Dora. Marten and Dora are friendly exes, so them discussing a potential Tai/Dora relationship was inevitable. Tai should back it down a notch. Having Marten in her corner is a good thing.
Regarding Marten's lying to Tai; He was trying to keep a promise to Dora. His lie was fairly harmless, and truthfully, the discussion was mostly about Dora and what she should do. He's caught in the middle between two friends here, and he genuinely wants what's best for both of them. The fact that he drunk texted Dora and encouraged her to get together with Tai shows he is well and truely over her and has moved on.
Regarding Emilly spilling the beans; I like Emilly's quirkiness, but damn, girl. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. A and B conversation, C your way out of it, exc. Emily is basicaly Padma 2, Padma Harder. Expect more socialy oblivious behavior and wacky hijinks from her in the future.
WAYF:
In all of this, I find it kind of funny that Claire was the one intern character that Jeph couldn't stop drawing for a long time before he found a use for her, but so far she's had probably the least to actually do. She keeps to herself a lot.
Now that I think about it, from what I remember of Emily's previous dialogue, Jeph might actually be doing a fantastic job of portraying somebody for whom English is very much their second language, and while she has a fair grasp on the language, she has severe trouble picking up on the nuances, such as the fact that Dora and Marten were talking about something they wanted to keep to themselves.
It explains why she could only come up with a somewhat irrelevant sentence fragment to describe how she felt about training day with Marten.

Well, the girl IS Sino-Australian. Give her some credit. :angel: :-D

Wonder if Marten's had enough character growth to respond to this situation without making the mistake of just passively taking it even though he never made a promise not to talk to Dora (that I can recall, someone feel free to correct me...); or without evading like he just tried (and got called on); and also without overreacting and blowing up at both of them.

--- Quote from: TinPenguin on 31 Jul 2012, 11:21 ---That's because Emily is genuinely in the wrong. There was no need for her to say that. Especially the "About Ms. Hubbert" bit. But apparently being cute and ditzy lets you get away with that kind of shit.
(don't worry, Emily-knights, I'm not hating on her, just stating a fact)

Dude, I'm not Emily-knighting :psyduck: What she did was ridiculously wrong and p. dumb
I just don't think we should wish violence on her or any other QC character really because it just...at best it sounds dumb and creepy, at worst it sounds psychopathic and there's no need for it
No one's wishing death on Tai, for example, but it isn't like people can't criticize her
AND ON THAT NOTE yes yes bap bap bap "breach of trust" and Tai's paranoia justification, sure, except that there was literally no way this wasn't going to happen. Marten was just trying to avoid awkwardness AND betraying Dora, who, sorry Tai, is a waaaaayyy better friend than you. Even with her control issues. (t umu t)
I mean, does Tai honestly think they spent the whole time shitting on her? Sheesh.
DSL probably has the best read on the situation though, they'll patch this up by tonight. (And Is It Cold In Here also has the right idea, he should've been like "Yes, I tried to give her advice, I can give you advice, but you are the one who should go talk to her.") The story linchpin here is Dora.
