Definitely the umlaut, from the way Clinton tries to say it.
--- End quote ---
Wouldn't the umlaut make it more like "Breen"?

--- Quote from: MrNumbers on 17 May 2016, 20:35 ---Regarding 'normal' and 'average' I'm actually a big fan of the usage of the words 'neurotypical' and 'neuroatypical'.
It sounds far more factual and far less judgemental than most alternatives.

Until they inevitably roll down the euphamism treadmill.
--- Quote from: mikmaxs on 17 May 2016, 21:27 ---I'm optimistic about Brun, but the introduction of her character made it clear that she really wasn't a likeable person in the slightest. This might change overtime, Jeph usually takes a few weeks or months of comics to really pin down his characters, and even if the most recent comics her negative traits haven't been around at all (Though this is mostly true because there's not been a chance to showcase them), but if she keeps her personality from her introduction, she's just a repellent person to be around.

Claire was disliked when she was introduced, if that makes you feel better.
Because of the speculation around here, very small negative incidents or statements early in the introduction of a character tend to get blown out to full-blown character flaws.

It's kind of like saying "Breen" with your mouth shaped like you're about to say "Broon."
Anyway, afaik, with or without the umlauts are valid variations on the spelling.

Well, I mean, she threatened Clinton with a harpoon, yelled at him for not wanting a beer, and I don't have a third thing but those first two were pretty darn bad. Calling them 'very small negative incidents' is an understatement.
Still, I can chalk that up to Jeph's introduction of her not working out as well as he'd intended. We'll see what her personality's like in a month.
TheCollector:
Huh, ok with this page I admit I was wrong. She most certainly does seem to be autistic, which I actually do love more then if she'd been, whatever Shaw is, I still could never find out. But in the end let me say I LOVE HER SO MUCH! The day her first page came out I just loved her design, but figured that would be the only time we ever saw her, I am so glad she's becoming main though!
Also, I'm not the only one who feels Clinton looks a hell of a lot better like that am I?

Yes, quite. When I referred to 'very small negative incidents', I was speaking more generally towards the forumites' reactions to the introduction of new characters, rather than to the reaction to Brun specifically. Waving a harpoon at someone is, as you say, a bit more serious.
Still, my reaction was "what happened to her to make her react that way to someone like Clinton," rather than "what a horrible person." Maybe that makes me ... atypical.
