traroth:
Just to take the opposite stance, for once: Faye never expressed any interest in women. Even when she noticed Bubbles' booty, she still didn't. So there is nothing sure about how things will end up. It could end in a nightmare: could their friendship survive a move by Bubbles met by rejection from Faye?

Friendships do survive. Almost 20 years ago, I finally worked up the courage to ask a friend out when we were meeting for coffee. She wanted to tell me how she found someone (also a friend, and now her husband). It was awkward and painful at the time, but bonds endure.

--- Quote from: ChipNoir on 02 Nov 2017, 14:40 ---I am a 30YO in a house full of 18-22 college guys. The level of disgusting that is established in this house is epic. I've given up any attempts to keep this place clean beyond the basic minimum. Shorthairs in the shower are just a fact of life now. It only gets strange when they're an unnatural color, like purple or green.

My condolences, and I hope it gets better. I'm not spotless, but the place isn't a biohazard. Mostly. :venonat:
Mommas, don't let your babies grow up, to be messy.
Because they're risking disease, and they'll never be clean
So make them at least nod at hygiene.

Sadly, my experience is that most moms fail epically in teaching their boys to be clean. Moms may fight the good fight during their sons' younger years, but once the boys reach the teens years, the household succumbs to a kind of entropy (and unspoken agreement) where moms don't go in their teen boys' room without a hazmat suit, if at all, and the boys generally confine the mess to their rooms. Then when or if those boys move out, they don't clean their own place much unless a woman they want to bang is coming over, if then.
Even if they appear to have succeeded in raising non-messy boys, those boys tend to slack off on the cleanliness once they move out. So again, their bachelor pads end up messy. Doesn't help that many boys learn to tune out their moms' nagging at a fairly early age, and so these moms often throw up their hands and just do the cleaning themselves. Few moms find a clever way around that problem.
As for the Faybles ship, I must echo traroth and fire more torpedoes at it by saying Faye has shown no sexual interest in women, and her showing some admiration for Bubble's physique is not the same thing. If anything, Bubbles' feelings are far stronger in that regard, and may not be, and most likely won't be, reciprocated.
Thrillho:
Faye showing no interest in women before doesn't mean not having any.
And not showing any in the strip doesn't mean not expressing any.
Do we even consider Bubbles, as an AI, on as binary a basis as being female?
And as a comic with a big focus on sexual minorities, I think that Faye discovering a curiosity in genders outside of cis males fits in pretty well as character development - I know I personally didn't explore other genders until relatively late in life, and I'm currently with an agender person and a genderqueer person.

Yeah, I'm with you here. I understand all the shipping and wishful thinking, both on this forum and in-comic, but Faye so far has shown only heterosexual tendencies towards romantic relationships, while Bubbles appears to be/identify as female in every way that matters.
I find it therefore somewhat odd that Claire is all in a tizzy with the possibility of Faybles, because she knows all these things as well and knows that Faye's romantic preference is highly unlikely to change. Bubbles being an AI barely matters, she still is for all intents and purposes, female.
