--- Quote from: TheBiscuit on 05 Sep 2013, 04:49 ---The problem here is that the characters often didn't go through experiences which altered their character in most cases. They just woke up one morning after enough time was passed and decided to act like they were suddenly a changed person. The "development" happened by the wave of a magic wand, somewhere off screen. A notable exception would be Sven. He did develop based on events depicted in the comic, and I'd have to say that was done well.

You didn't mention Faye directly, but I think it was implied, since that was the genesis for this discussion.  But really?  She's had drinking "intervention" from her friends, has been in therapy, and was wooed (in unique fashion) by some one she decided to finally begin a relationship with.  I think those few incidents alone, and especially whatever she's learned in therapy, are all excellent ways to develop your personality into one that's more in line with what you want than what you have.  Sure, some of it's offscreen and assumed, but it's no "magic wand".  And her personality's still the same at the core. 

Just a little less hostile. 

Sidhekin:
If there's a "magic wand" in Faye's case, I suppose it's Sven's.

More seriously, Faye usually mentions Marten as having helped her change: "I'm a different person than I was back then.  Because of you."

Yeah, I had a good laugh-out-loud here at work when I clicked the link.

Although I will say, I don't get how/why ship(ping) is being used for this?  I know the meaning behind it, but I don't get why someone ever started using the word to indicate that or why other people continue to use it as such.  Why can't we just use words for their original meaning and use the correct ones for the idea/thought we wish to convey?

Cannot compute.

easy:

relationship

FuryoftheStars:
And so the word got abbreviated to being a word that already existed with a different meaning?

Sorry, not aimed at you, just the idea of it ->  :roll:
