--- 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"?

I would say its more about being reasonable and not getting ahead of ourselves.
No one is going to bat an eyelid at a discussion about, say, Marten and Claire, or Dora and Tai, or even the prospect of Emily and Clinton before it crashed and burned like the Hindenburg. That's fine. Hell, they'll welcome a discussion about other prospects showing up in the comic, or even some romances that have faded into the background.
I vaguely remember a brief period just after I joined the forum where someone tried to start shipping Hanners. Which if I remember correctly, got shot down pretty quickly, simply because within the confines of the QC-verse, Hanners herself has said that while she'd like to be in a romantic relationship of some kind, she acknowledges that her own myriad of issues probably precludes that from happening. But then you'll get someone who might suddenly think something like "Yeees, Hanners and Marigold spend the night together." or "Steve kissed Marten at a party so zomg they must be in love", except everyone else sees those events as what they are meant to be, punchlines to brief jokes Jeph has set up.
At the end of the day, Jeph has said on a couple of occasions that he has never liked people unhealthily shipping his characters, so that alone should be the point we all start with with regards to shipping - if its creepy, stop.
And with regards to tonight's comic, I guess that's put paid to the idea that under her armour, Bubbles had a stick-like build. Especially because it looks like she's got tree trunks for arms!
Case:
Bubbles looks like Jeph's homage to Gunny Bobby Draper from the Expanse cycle - loving it!

"Fighting Corpse Witch by Daylight
Fixing mechs by moonlight
Take her on, it's a real fight
She's the one called Bubbles Moon!"
Also, considering that's Faye's imagination... was she a Sailor Moon fan?

I hope so!
Also does the title mean Bubbles is a Sagittarius?
Kugai:
I'm beginning to wonder if this QCverse has WD40.
So,, her under armor AI Body is not all that different from her armored form by the looks of it. I was wondering about that and whether she'd loose a fair bit in height and/or mass once her armor was removed.
