--- Quote from: BenRG on 13 Feb 2017, 09:26 ---Purely FWIW, I can't see Marten and Claire taking on responsibility for a kid until after Claire graduates her Masters' course. I could excuse Jeph not wanting to deal with it though. There would be a huge level of Tumblr anger if the process is too smooth and people feel that he is 'glossing over' the problems RL trans* people have with adoption. Of course, there would be just as much anger if too many thought he was trying to 'milk the problem' for clicks. It is a can of worms that he would be entirely justified to refuse to open.
I can only see it happening with Dora and Tai as an incredibly strong impulse decision (possibly related to a secondary character pairing like Wil and Penny starting a family). In the latter scenario, part of the story would centre around a sense of inadequacy and lots of second thoughts.

All very valid points.
I *do* wonder if that has a bearing on Marten and Claire being written into a corner?
I always thought Dora and Faye with different glasses Tia were a good foil for a relationship with the same back and forth as Marten and Faye had.. only with added wriggly goodness... Don't see enough of them.
(I like Dora, okay!?) :roll:
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: OldGoat on 13 Feb 2017, 06:26 ---Mature people's stable relationships with each other don't provide much conflict to write about. Relationships involving Faye stay interesting because she's a well of emotional turmoil.

"Mature" and "stable" mean wise management of conflict. Conflict still happens.
Whether we're mature and stable or not, my wife and I wind up laughing ourselves silly at some of our arguments. Some have been almost worthy of being in QC.

Bingo. Being mature and stable just means you handle the conflicts better, not that conflicts don't happen.
15-year anniversary coming up... next week?!? :-o
Morituri:
I can see Bubbles the auto mechanic. It would be really handy for a garage to have someone around who didn't need, eg, engine block hoists. And who doesn't get skinned knuckles when working on cars, and doesn't face any hazard due to exhaust fumes, and won't be particularly stressed if a truck runs over her foot.
On the other hand she couldn't really do much with jobs where she'd have to get into tight spaces.
explicit:
Really any strong person jobs (mover, bouncer, knee breaker...)
