jwhouk:
I have no idea what a drum circle party is. And even after coming in here and hearing the explanation, I still don't have an idea what it is.
Carl-E:
It's fun.
But drugs were involved at the ones I attended.
kyomi:
As far as I know, drugs are involved in most of them.. I'd post a link to an interesting bit on psychoactives.. but I don't think that's allowed.
Black Sword:
Drum circle? WELP I'M GOING HOME.
No, seriously. Going home.

I am curious how people who hate her react to Dorothy at the start of Dumbing of Age.

question one) no. i get very tired of people hating other people's exes on the basis of "they hurt my friend". firstly, you don't know the circumstances beyond what your friend told you - and to be honest, Marten following Vicky was creepy as foop, no wonder he got dumped /rant - and secondly, if your friend is over it, it shouldn't concern you. i still consider Faye dumping milk on Vicky assault, especially after Marten said "when you get down to it, was it even really that big a deal? a girl i was dating decided she didn't she didn't want to see me anymore for some reason. that happens to people all the time, you know?"
question two) with Dorothy in DoA, we see her perspective ("he's an idiot, he has no aspirations, and no drive") and also how often Danny is a bumbling idiot. Danny is shown as an unlikeable character - often selfish and short-sighted. Dorothy is presented as witty, intelligent, and with aspirations for higher things, whilst Danny was content to follow. does this sound familiar? Marten is usually described as passive, and hangs around with strong-willed friends, like Dora and Faye. the only difference is that Marten is significantly more likeable than dumbass Danny, so whilst it is almost exactly the same situation (just after uni ends, not before it starts) we receive it differently and side with the more likeable character.
personally i'm neutral in regards to Vicky. she served a plot purpose to show Faye's "protectiveness" and Marten's origins story.
okay i'm going to turn off English Student mode now and scuttle back to my box.
