Faye vs. Dale

(1/5) > >>

ejay1118:
I'm seeing two ways this ends. Dale breaks Faye and she loses a lot of her antagonistic attitude...

or Faye breaks Dale and we find out this whole "everything is cool" facade is to hold back the fact that Dale has a NASTY anger management problem if sufficiently provoked. (And nobody can provoke like Faye)

Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new person!

Dale is something Faye hasn't encountered before. He doesn't counterattack, but he doesn't knuckle under either.

Legere-factus:
She's working through her issues, but she still has a lingering habit of snark as a defense mechanism. She doesn't seem to use it like she did early on in her character development, as a tool to attack and hurt before she gets attacked and hurt though. She seems to use it to test people, if they can put up with her slightly abrasive snark when she's in a good place, they'll be able to handle her when she's in a darker place and relapses into using it in a nasty way.

The other characters of QC all have their own ways of dealing with her, most of them having called her on it by this point
Raven - blunt honesty
Sven - Let her fall when she was drunk and used the 'im just holding on to keep from falling over' line
Angus - Enjoys it
Marten - Endures it

But however they deal with it, they react. Dale is denying her that! He's denying her a reaction to what she has made one of her defining traits. No wonder she's all GRR about it. I can't see Dale having angermanagement issues, so I'm guessing Faye's going to take the next step towards not using snark to test new friends.

TheEvilDog:
To be honest, I just see Dale as one of those guys who just never takes things personally and that remarks and jibes are like water off a duck's back. Even from what little we know about Dale, it does seem like he has not had the easiest life and given the brief glimpse we've had of his jobs, Dale has probably had to deal with offensive supervisors and customers on a regular basis.

Ooh, nice!  We also see how Dora responds in kind, and how she coaches Penelope to "stand up to" Faye (and cheers when she finally "strikes back").

We see how Faye goes easy on Marigold after Angus called a "not-cool" on her.

And of course, we see how she instantly hits it off with Hanners: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=544 Everybody loves Hanners. :)
