One of the hardest ideas to internalize is the concept that not everyone's experiences mirror our own, even when the experiences appear identical.
Is it cold in here?:

You say that as though you think holding someone while they're crying isn't doing anything important for someone's mental and emotional state?
I think maybe you don't mean what it sounded like you meant?

I can't speak for BenRG but if he meant that Bubbles won't get any housework or correspondence or leisure projects done, that would make sense. The Pugnacious Peach is going to need full-time attention for a while.
Which starts an interesting thought. What kind of distorted workaholic culture produced me that I can unquestioningly read "not going to get anything done" about someone helping a friend in crisis, and think it makes sense at first?

There's a concept in Homestuck called moirallegiance. It's a sort of platonic life partnership, where two very different people agree to balance one another out and help each other through life. I think Marten and Faye previously had that sort of relationship, but it looks like Faye is beginning to switch to Bubbles for that kind of support (which makes me wonder: will Marten gain another Faye in his life, or will he learn to live without someone like that in his life?).

I think that you may be reading between the words and seeing things that aren't there.

Oh good; I've rarely been happer to've been wrong.

Mmm. Personally I enjoy certain alcoholic drinks, and I really hate the fact that, if I wanted, for example to spend an evening enjoying a selection of vintage Scotch whiskies, by the 3rd or 4th all discrimination and appreciation of the taste would be gone. Always frustrated me about beer festivals too: there might be 20 or 30 brews I'd rather like to try, but actually it became pointless after four or five.
