Faye is subjectively hot. Your desires are your own.

--- End quote ---

Sort of both?

There are many objective measures for attractiveness; Hip to waist ratio, facial symmetry, general proportions, and of those measurements, Faye has a lot of objectively desirable qualities.

However, many people weight those values differently.

Thus, Faye can be objectively hot in a way that you or others do not desire, as attraction is subjective.


Line break because second topic;

I get a lot of you are saying that a romantic subplot devalues the idea of a strong platonic friendship and I totally get where you're coming from, but it is less narratively interesting by all conventions you care to measure it by. A romantic subplot provides the same closeness and character interaction as the friendship while providing more concrete objectives and struggles you can set, provides more apparent stakes to hold, etc. etc. etc.

A close friendship doesn't have to be 'lesser' than a romantic one by any means, nor a step below one. But there's a reason they tell stories about princesses and princes instead of kings and queens; When you're a prince, one day you might become a king. But once you're a king, that's all you'll ever be.

It might not be something you totally agree with personally, or like, but it does make for better storytelling.

I predict Clinton and Faye as our surprise couple and Eliot + Brun.

Eliot and Brun is a possibility, but Clinton and Faye? That would require Clinton to make advances to Faye. He'd never have the nerve -- look how shy he was dealing with Emily and Brun, and Faye is far more intimidating than either. And it beggars belief that Faye would find Clinton attractive.

--- End quote ---
At the moment, it's more like a maraca than a piņata.

This is Clinton we're talking about.  Why should Faye find it surprising that he has pissed off another AI?

--- End quote ---

They have something analogous to therapists, yes. Remember that, after  that disastrous first party, Bubbles told Faye that some of the god-tier AIs had tried to help her with her guilt issues but that it hadn't worked out too well.

--- End quote ---

I didn't remember that.  Spookybot didn't enter the picture until later, so you're talking about some other god-tier AI?  (And what tier does that put Spookybot on?)
