--- Quote from: PLGRN8R on 16 Oct 2014, 13:27 ---I actually DO want Sven to come back into Faye's life in a positive way. Maybe not as a partner or even FWB, but even just as a friend. Their friendship, while it remained just a platonic friendship, was actually really nice. I enjoyed watching it and, while I DID see their eventual hook-up coming, I liked seeing them interact as just friends. They complement each other's issues in odd ways. Faye has abandonment issues, Sven has commitment issues. Faye is confrontational, Sven is uncontentious. Faye's weapon is her fists, Sven's is his words. Maybe they're not at a place right now where anything beyond or even approaching friendship is possible, but I think that's definitely something the future holds. Now, be that in 10 strips, 20, or another thousand, I don't know.

Yeah, I don't ship them, but the character growth is always a good thing IMHO.

I don't think I ship them in a romantic sense, but I'm not opposed to the idea.

What, if anything, would redeem him?

Only one person knows, and he only tells us in five-days-a-week installments.

--- Quote from: Aziraphale on 16 Oct 2014, 12:10 ---Makes you wonder if he's already mentally checked out of the relationship. Tone deafness is one thing. It's something else entirely to just lay everything out for your significant other as a fait accompli versus sounding them out. IIRC, he was doing the same thing earlier, before the callback... telling her that they (she) could just carry on long distance, but never really asking what she felt, or what felt right for her. And it's all the more glaring when someone's put as much energy into "getting the girl" but won't put the same kind of energy into maintaining the relationship or considering her thoughts and feelings.

This brings up an interesting thought: what if that is essentially Angus's personality? "The Pursuit." Get his diploma, get his degree, get the girl, get the dream job...

I would like to see Sven figure out that he's poly, start working on his communication skills around ethical non-monogamy, and stop chasing after monogamous people. Sven x Delilah, basically. It would be a huge, weird digression. Faye in particular has nothing to gain from patching things up with him.

I read this as coming from your avatar. It was a bit disturbing.
