You do know that bisexuality is a thing, right?

I got the impression that the term "only incidentally homosexual" was in reference to the Kinsey Scale and that Snufflebottoms meant to imply that Faye is a 1 on the scale (defined as "Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual") - i.e. primarly attracted to men but very occasionally women as well. I actually know of a lot of people whom this applies to, myself included; it can make it difficult to know whether to self-identify as straight or bisexual, though some use the term "heteroflexible", or it can also refer to people who are heteroromantic-bisexual or vice versa. The same applies at the other end of the scale at point 5 (primarily attracted to the same gender, but very occasionally the opposite gender).
In Faye's case it remains to be seen what she'll make of her epiphany, but I hope that at least clarified the wording a bit ^_^
Penquin47:
So, Faye is probably running off to talk to Marten... what does Bubbles do? Stay behind to mind the shop? Go to CoD for some tea and hope that things make more sense after she's had some relaxing unicorn fantasies? Talk to Momo? (I'm trying to think of anyone else she might talk to, and coming up with a blank. Hanners maybe, if she were still around, but...
de_la_Nae:
She'll probably keep working.
Also I should point out that we have no indication that Bubbles knows where most of the cast lives, or even particularly likes Momo.
I may be projecting a bit at that last bit, though. I don't *dislike* her, but while she absolutely means well she's such a combination of uptight and 'not into' certain topics (such as human-AI romance and/or sex) that she's nearly useless. I'm not Bubbles, but I at least fear that I'd be hard-pressed to break through Momo's attempts to stammer out what she thinks is a 'right' answer to get to a real one (or at least one I'd accept as 'real').
de_la_Nae:
that probably says more about me and my neurosis than anything else, but considering Bubbles' past frustrations both with projecting that people are 'walking on eggshells' around her, and with people actually doing that, well.

That's exactly what I meant. It's a somewhat educated guess but a guess nonetheless at this point.
