Dora,Tai, and Therapy
idontunderstand:
One thing I'm sort of chewing around is that it may be better for Dora to be with a woman at this point, as that may not trigger her insecurity issues as much as a man much, seeing as her bad experiences seems to have been mainly with men. But, of course, no guarantee for a happy relationship there.
Is it cold in here?:
It might bypass her fear of being mistreated, but not her fear of being unattractive.
DSL:
Whether Dora/Tai works as a couple, or whether I or you or anyone else likes Dora/Tai as a couple, is beside the point. The point is how Jeph depicts the characters handling the relationship and its aftermath, if any.
idontunderstand:
But we can't discuss how Jeph depicts the characters, can we?
Emperor Norton:
I think perhaps the most ironic and interesting thing about this situation is that Dora feels like she is doing what she fears people are doing to her when she is in a relationship. She feels like people are just "settling" for her and just like the idea of a relationship rather than really wanting to be with her.
Where as that seems exactly like what she is doing to Tai. It seems like she is interested because Tai is pursuing, not because Tai is Tai.
