--- Quote from: TinPenguin on 09 Mar 2015, 02:43 ---There is a fine line between being cool with your friend dating your ex, and getting involved with their problems to the point that you are vicariously experiencing everything you hated about that relationship.
Actually, it's not a fine line at all, it's more of a canyon.

Yes, there is that. However, there is also the aspect of friendship that involves gritting your teeth and dealing with vicarious pain because, damn it, your friend is hurting and maybe, just maybe, you can make things better.
Remember: Tai didn't ask for help; Marten effectively offered it, sight unseen.

No, you're just failing to read the parts you don't want to read.
If you're playing "effectivelies" then she effectively demanded it by greeting Marten with a "bleh", and as every narcissist with a nasty attitude has demonstrated everywhere in the world since time immemorial, if he *hadn't* given into her demand she would have been a massive cunt to all and sundry the entire rest of the day.
I know there's this weird rule that some people are entitled to bleed other people emotionally dry, it's just, you know, a bullshit rule, believed in by bullshit people.
Still, Marten showed a little spirit for once. Here's hoping his learning curve continues on its upswing.
SomeCanadianWeirdo:
Marten is pretty much Tai's best friend. She admitted a good while back that she really didn't have any deep friendships before meeting him, just casual acquaintances and sex partners. So she's going to ask him for help, even though she does realise it puts him in a bit of an awkward position. The other people in her life either have limited experiences in dealing with relationships, or are dealing with their own problems. Perhaps someone in her family could help, but so far we know nothing of them, or how she gets along with them.
ElvisRevenge:
I just read Marten's dialogue in Bob Belcher's voice and it was toooooooo perrrrrrrfeeeeeeeect.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Still not seeing the distinction.
I had a friend from highschool who didn't like Fight Club because Disassociative Personality Disorder doesn't work like that. I don't really dig Big Bang Theory because the nerds aren't really realistic. Just caractures.
Whether a character succeeds or fails from a narative point of view is still a subjective assessment that's based on a reaction no different from "what that character did was uncool." How you feel about what see happens before you find the words to define that feeling. Whether that word is "unrealistic" or "uncool" is really just whim based on how you feel about analyzing the character or the narrative in that moment. That's why one person can come to the thread with a character response and another with a perspective on the framework of the story in which the event took place. Same coin, different sides. Could be twenty-five cents, or it could be a quarter of a dollar.
