Dark Matter:
My question is, what installation is Faye planning that requires a metal dick? And will we ever get to see it in its full glory?
Rghfrgl:
I bet nobody gave Michelangelo shit for this.
The sculptor that is. I bet the turtles were all about the dick jokes off panel.

No, the sculptor was also all about dick off panel.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 30 Mar 2015, 06:15 ---I don't think that "self-centred" is quite correct. The real issue here is "insecure" and uncertain of her own worth. The fact that she's actually helped someone, that she's impacted positively upon someone's life, is a huge thing for Claire. It really says volumes about her hopes, dreams and aspirations that helping someone is a cause for joy.
So, yeah, Claire is reacting more about what this moment means for her than what it means for Faye and that is a bit selfish but, if I'm right about her self-esteem issues, understandable.

+1 Insightful. Not so much "selfish" as "self-centred", "egotistical". A defence mechanism. Claire needs to think well of Claire, even if no-one else does.
That means she has to be the kind of gal who helps others, who gets real joy from it. It's her ambition in life to be that kind of person, so when she gets proof that she's made a difference - real proof, it can't just be superficial - of course she does the happy dance. Of course she seeks that evidence too, thirsts for it in a way few could understand. And of course she tries to help even more next time.
She knows she's doing it not for Altruistic reasons, but "selfish" ones if you like. But she figures that as long as others are helped, what does that matter? They're more important than she is (see self-worth issues). She may even realise that about herself, and see it as making what would usually be a liability into an asset.
As do I. Yes, I'm a dork too.
Incredible Kudos to Jeph for people watching and psychological insight.
Kugai:
Just what Faye needs
Someone taking her outside her Comfort Zone
And I 'Saw' the grin on Martens comment as well.
