--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 03 May 2017, 09:20 ---It's a comic about relationships. Extrapolation is OK. For example, "Dale and Marigold are fighting like an old married couple already! I wonder if Jeph is foreshadowing something."
The worst kind of thing would be explicit and unrealistic. Slash fiction involving incompatible characters would be the other end of the scale.
In between, well, a good guideline is to remember they are Jeph's characters and not ours.

Isn't slash fic involving incompatible characters usually "explicit and unrealistic"?

--- Quote from: BenRG on 02 May 2017, 23:37 ---Faye has the spirit of a woman who wants to be an armourer for a medieval re-enactment society and she lives with Pintsize. However, why does she need a pry bar under her bed? I suspect that they may still be having problems with their front door or something!

You answered your own question. She lives with Pintsize.

--- Quote from: oeoek on 03 May 2017, 05:56 ---Important lessons Bubbles probably needs to learn in a near future without armour:
Swearing 101, advanced swearing and compound curses
<snippage>
And probably the use of gloves and other work place protection she never needed when in armour.
--- End quote ---
I think she already has plenty of exposure to all the forms of swearing, being a combat veteran (which probably counts as a 400-level course), tho it is curious, that I cant recall hearing her curse, even when she was angry or stressed. The only vets who curse as little as Bubbles (that is, never), in my experience, are typically the chaplains.
I'm not sure how much she would worry about workplace injuries to herself (certainly she'd be protective of Faye and other humans working alongside), as AIs don't seem to have pain receptors per se. (We saw May rip her own arm off in frustration!)

Hahahahaha! Dead now! Bubbles made me laugh. That was perfect!
snufflebottoms:
I really want this to be the beginning of a romantic arc. Firstly, because I don't think it's out of character or not foreshadowed at all. I think there are lots of hints that Bubbles feels romantically attracted to Faye. All the blushing, the unique closeness and tenderness. I guess it could be platonic but I'm never like that with platonic friends. Faye may not be gay but there is a first time for everything (some people are more fluid about that) plus Bubbles is an AI so even if Faye isn't attracted to women physically, I don't think that Bubbles would automatically be ruled out. It'd be all about the personality and I think the way Faye admires her is veering romantic.
Secondly, I want to stick it to everybody who insists that friendship is deeper than romance can be and that intimacy is not sexual tension, etc. etc. Like yes that's all true but sometimes when it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck.... it's a freaking duck and not a goose being mistaken for a duck by a duck crazed society. And yeah it's a little petty but so is the insistence that we all be "above shipping" even when the story-line heavily hints at it. The Faye/Bubbles shipping is even done by Claire and Dora. I think those are supposed to be clues that there is at least that kind of chemistry, even if it won't be acted on.
