Haha, The "Giving Peas a Chance" comic basically made me want to be her best friend forever!
Mlle Germain:
Today's comic is just such a happy comic and put me into a really good mood. :lol:
I'm looking forward to how this develops next week!
I am slightly sad that this sweet and emotional comic has prompted a very similar discussion to when Claire came out to Marten instead of people just being happy about it (obviously many people are new to the forum and didn't read the discussion at the time), but I hope that anyone who didn't read the first discussion will have a look at the many resources provided on the topic in the forum.
Props to Valdís et al. for explaining the same things they must already have said over and over again in - as far as I have seen in the part of this thread that I read - a reasonable but firm way.
Edit: Fixed typo.

And I definitely don't agree with the idea that because it was abrupt means it was necessarily just to 'get it out of the way' so that QC could have a trans character, nor was it Jeph screaming anything about diversity or inclusiveness even.

He literally introduced three un-represented "token" characters in a single panel in the most out of fashion way that we're use to. He made it up for it by making Clare a good character but I think being someone skeptical of Jeph is fair.

I personally hope Marten and Claire become a couple, 'cause I like them both and he's been alone too long and she will love him like no tomorrow if he gives her a chance, but if it turns out it was a dream and halfpint has been whispering redhead porn dialogue in his ear, okay. Jeph's the storyteller, and I've spent five years loving his story.

Personally, I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, I can't remember where it was, or whether Jeph was was just trolling us but I remember that someone once linked to a comment by the writer (I think it was Formspring but it could have been Tumblr) where he said that Marten would never be lucky in love.

It wasn't at a lakehouse, granted (god I wish one of my friends had a lakehouse, that'd be awesome), but I wasn't planning on telling him at all that night nor were we talking about anything remotely related to the subject. It was very out of the blue, and I'm still not sure why I decided at that moment to do it lol. But I did. Same thing happened with a few other people as well. For other people, like my parents, I did come up with a premeditated plan beforehand on where/when I wanted to tell them and what I wanted to say when I did.

One of my friends has a lakehouse and a speedboat. =P
But yeah, it definitely seems out-of-the blue when I tell my friends something personal like that. (I don't have stuff as personal as gender or sexuality figured out, but there have been times in my life like the ones you described and... now I don't know if any of this made sense.) :psyduck:
