--- Quote from: jheartney on 16 Jun 2016, 10:12 ---We'll see if Renee ever warms up to Clinton. Or maybe we won't; unless Brun saved the soggy phone number, or has the presence of mind to go ask for him at COD, they might not meet again. Of course, the fact that we're still seeing Brun suggests she'll eventually have more dealings with the main cast.

Hell, It would be hilarious to see Brunn hunting around town to find Clinton. Like in Cliched rom-com fashion. God, that would be funny
Oenone:
I think that they might have met through the same life skills group. :) that'd explain why they're both into routines, Brun's patience with Renee's emotionality and Renee's over-protectiveness of Brun.
Larm Hargraven:
Hello! Popping in again to give a conclusion on my end. I feel Renee is very much a friend unaware of their toxicity. In my experience, I found myself in Brun's position and it's not a lovely thing. The problem is you're half-aware, half in denial about the attitude because people in Brun's case may need someone to help guide them, but they definitely don't need someone to control them. The line if very, very fine and easily crossed without warning. You can see this as Renee relents on Brun's opinion of Clinton because Brun refuses to change her opinion of him. She then immediately sees the opportunity to give Brun a new schedule and life without hesitation because it's a new thing she can put into Brun's head.
Again, Renee might just be unaware of her attitude, but it's apparent that, yes, she is a manipulator at some degree. The real questions now are: How far does this go? Is Renee aware of the attitude? And will we perhaps see an arc where Renee will change her ways or stay like this?
Edit: I also want to specifically point out a HUGE example in today's comic that made me come to the conclusion, because I actually have heard this phrase. The phrase being "I don't wanna fight." This is a common phrase used to manipulate (again not saying Renee is intentional) because it plants the seed of thought that having a disagreement = fighting. For me it gave me years of self-doubt because I assumed saying 'No' to this person would mean I'm fighting with them. It's also a tell-tale sign because Renee is, at the same time, being physically affectionate with Brun, sending mixed signals that further drive the nail in.
Like always, I'm only able to speak from my experiences and to take my words with a grain of salt. :)

Salt taken, but appreciated your experience and its a sad thing to see someone go through.
breaking the rules, which works? BrunTon or ClintBrun
lawoot:
Just my two cents, seeing parallels:
Brun = Bubbles
Renee = CORPSE WITCH
