Tova:
Eye of the beholder and all that, snufflebottoms.

Funny, I had to consider whether it would be OK to talk about Faye behind her back. I guess her being in an alternate universe where word can't get back to her makes it OK.

Faye is attractive because fierce and heated. She really doesn't like being touched and is always on edge around anyone except Bubbles, and responds by attacking forward bravely rather than by withdrawing. She is a fiercely loyal friend, as witnessed by how she wants first to kill and then to console Dora when she breaks up with Marten, and with both her support of Bubbles and her heartbreak when Bubbles initially fails to support her. She has no manners whatever, but a brave, hot heart. It is easy to speculate what it would be like to unlock that heat and direct it toward one. The potential is staggering! Think of how its power could benefit mankind! And it is so pretty, flaring and flickering like a red flower. What could possibly go wrong?

Brun seems not to mind being close, physically, to Clinton. Maybe she has feelings that are difficult for her to acknowledge. A lot of people with autism can't deal with physical contact, and some give too much contact and don't understand the rules of touching.

I think Clinton needs to just come out and say "Brun, I like you. I think we should go out sometime" and see what she says. I don't think she has a lot of experience with dating. Clinton might need to figure out how to tell her his feelings, and figure out if she's interested.

I would say it's harder for a woman on the spectrum to deal with romantic type feelings. I've definitely had a hard time with them. It's like feeling everything but not being able to say and do the right thing like other women do. For me it's like being a prisoner. Brun isn't as inhibited and shy as I am, but I'm sure she still struggles.

Her character is important. I'm happy to see a non white (presumably) woman on the spectrum in this comic. Just like me. I feel a little less like an alien.

Though I am frustrated. Just kiss him already, Brun! I'd give anything to have an opportunity like that.

I am a little sad for Elliot, but he reaaaalllly needs to learn to stop barking up the wrong tree. First with Padma, then with Brun, and then Clinton. I hope this finally gives him the motivation to actually find someone who will return his feelings. Again and again he goes after unsuitable people who show zero interest in him. He needs to learn!

fayelovesbubbles:
Er...kiss him once he's sobered up, of course. Kissing him now would be wrong.

traroth:
It seems to me, after what Brun said in the last panel, that she knows exaclty what she's doing by standing so close to Clinton...
