The outcast god does not look upon that with favor

It occurs to me that Angus doesn't really grok Faye's abandonment issues the way Pintsize, Marten, and Dora do. He didn't live that part of her life like they did. His relationship with Faye is built on being appropriately inappropriate with her. He started with an addiction to her sass.
Moreover, Angus hasn't lived Faye's angst over the possibility of a long distance relationship. She has been keeping it from him. His snarky spooning comment is pretty much par for the course for their normal interaction.
One could argue that he's insensitively blind to the needs of his significant other, but he just landed a near dream job, with potential to take him farther than he may have ever believed he could go. He's stoked and it is pretty normal to want your lover to share that feeling in a moment like that.
I am beginning to think that the big problem here is less about how difficult Faye's options--LDR or break up--are for her and more how she hasn't been honest with him. Not that it is all on Faye. He hasn't been making it easy for her to feel safe about it. He's tried but, like I said at the start, he probably doesn't understand what he is dealing with.

E: All of the above.
For all the dialogue between the two of them, they've left a lot more unsaid than said. Angus doesn't know what -- or more precisely, who -- he's dealing with. And for all her progress, Faye still hasn't even quite got herself ironed out. The options aren't ideal, but neither one of them, at this point, is making it any easier for the other. Angus is happy and wants Faye to share that happiness, but I don't think he even gets how unhappy she is, and I think that's part of the source of his boneheaded remarks. Faye, on the other hand, wants Angus to be happy, but I think it's finally starting to dawn on her that she's allowed a situation where his happiness trumps hers.
The situation is still salvageable, but it's going to take a much deeper and more difficult conversation than either of them has had with the other up to this point.
BenRG:
The answer is, Winslow, that it has nothing to do with the Kickstarter campaign. He just needed to get stuff off of his chest to cleanse his oratorical palate first!
Which, yeah, makes me wonder if it was a message of sorts from Jeph. :-P
