ReindeerFlotilla:
That's probably for the best.

That strip(And this one) made me think Claire might be a little bi, even if leaning one way more than the other, but whether that's the case or she was just being objective I think the emphasis was on Dora there. I don't think DORA would be all caps otherwise.

Bi-leaning-straight, I think. She never gets blushy about girls.
Neko_Ali:
I don't think there is any bi to Claire at all. You can see people as being attractive without being attracted to them. Claire has never been shown as being attracted to women, just men.

--- Quote from: Blackbird on 29 Oct 2014, 08:19 ---[...] I agree with others that the sudden "hey, I'm trans" was supposed to be a defense mechanism to give Marten a chance to have a problem with it before she started caring about him, but at the time I think it was more of a platonic caring, or at least that's what she told herself.
[...]
Then, she went to the wedding with him and realized (a) that she felt entirely safe with him and (b) that his family is so eccentric and accepting that they'd accept her for who she is if something were to develop with Marten. It was after those realizations and the fact that he wasn't bothered by her drunkenly cuddling him (as he would have been if he considered her to be a guy) that she started admitting to herself that Marten could be more than a friend.

I also think that #2801 was another, last-ditch defense mechanism. "We should stop because you're drunk," obviously, but also "We should stop in case you're not that drunk, so the next time we see each other you can pretend you were really drunk and don't remember any of this and we can go back to being friends and nobody will get hurt except I might die a little inside," but Marten didn't take the hint (or he refused to acknowledge it), which is partly why she was so unprepared to find him at her breakfast table the next morning, and just as unprepared when he told her he wanted to talk about the night before. You had an out, Marten, why didn't you take it?! Oh, right, because you like her. Carry on.
Gladstone:
Also, I couldn't say when the crush first began, but it was certainly there when Claire tied the Quintuple Windsor.
