Drinking milk is a fad?

God I hope not. If it was, Wisconsin would have an even worse job loss rate than there already is in this state.

Please no. Please. I've lost too many trans friends that way. Yes, it would be plausible, realistic even, but not really in QC's style - any more than Momo getting set on by Fanatics and put in a crusher, then melted to slag.
--- End quote ---
Agreed. Keep the realism to the realistic comics, please. QC is only slightly more realistic than most anime.

--- End quote ---
Yeah, pretty sure she's been looking for one for a while.
--- End quote ---
She strikes me as the kind of gal who might like to wear a wedding dress one day too. Not everyone's like that, but in her heart of hearts, maybe.
In the meantime, yes, formal attending-wedding attire! She has the figure for it too. Probably wants a hairdo, maybe a makeover... you see she probably didn't get to attend a prom, or do any of the other teenage girl stuff. She's got some making-up to do.
Marigold probably didn't either, but she might not miss it. Not too much. Or wouldn't admit it to herself.
--- End quote ---
THIS. I never went to Prom, I'm already married (and my wife refuses to have another wedding after the disaster that was the first), I never went to any formal dances... and I spent years obsessing over that fact.

--- End quote ---
OTOH being willing to drive people is a good way to expand the circle.
--- End quote ---
Not that I've ever noticed. Oh, unless you count the people that only hang out with you for rides. Seriously, I had "friends" I tried to get together with for lunch/dinner/etc a few times, and they kept refusing - so the only time I would see them was when I drove them across town to a monthly event. That got fairly old fairly fast.

--- Quote from: techkid on 04 Feb 2013, 03:21 ---Fancy dresses notwithstanding, this would make for some good character development for Claire. Coming out as being trans* has helped define who she is, but goes no way to defining who she is (if you understand what I mean). To those (and those considering) outside of that reference, she's just a bookish-type, introverted young lady with a pretty good, reliable, but small social circle.
--- End quote ---
I, personally, would add "ambitious", "hard-working" and/or "determined" to that description (as that/those character trait(s) is/are likelyl to be the reason(s) that she's got such a small social circle).
--- End quote ---
Probably accurate. I have yet to meet a T* person that isn't determined and ambitious, and that rarely leads to them not being hard-working. The ambition might not be the traditional one, but...

--- Quote from: pwhodges on 04 Feb 2013, 02:42 ---Y'know, this isn't really what I'd call a "date" - going to his father's wedding has a rather different focus.
--- End quote ---
It really can't be a date when she's literally the last resort and was option #5, the first option being him going alone, then Faye, then Dora, then Hanners, and then Claire. Sides, not like he even thought of asking her until she offered.
Don't know why people keep trying to force ship these two. Thought we couldn't do that. Lord knows had my very first post here not been eloquently done regarding Hanners/Marten just as a dynamic I'd have gotten run off with pitchforks.
I think going to your father's same sex marriage is about just going with a good friend for support. Any romance, ugh, will be forced and awkward.
--- End quote ---
I disagree about the romance. Being around people that love each other very much and have been kept from each other by legal issues for years? It's one of the more romantic ways to see a wedding. Seeing the pictures from the Seattle courthouse made me cry, and I wasn't even there in person.
--- Quote from: PixelMoose on 04 Feb 2013, 02:20 ---Am I the only one that wanted Padma to miraculously return and go as his date?
--- End quote ---
I'd be willing to guess she'll be another guest, and awkwardness will ensue.

She will already be there, as Veronica's date. :psyduck:
--- End quote ---
Speaking of Veronica.....is she gonna be at the wedding? I mentioned it before that is she is, she'll be a major awkward zone period.
Method of Madness:
I think it's unfair to call Claire a "last resort", Marten may have not asked any of the interns because he thought it'd be inappropriate to ask them to drive him that far. But as soon as Claire volunteered to drive him, he invited her without hesitation. (By which I only mean that he's not a bad friend for not asking her earlier)
