(CW/TW: Abuse) WCDT strips 3731-3735 (30th April to 4th May 2018)
Bad Superman:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 30 Apr 2018, 05:30 ---That's the thing: Faye seems to have convinced herself that Bubbles can't be crushing on her. Because of that, she's failing to consider her actions carefully. So, she's responding to Bubbles' occasional flirtations and being unselfconscious around Bubbles because she doesn't consciously realise how bad (or good) that could be for their friendship.
--- End quote ---
For me, Faye's behaviour in her interaction with Bubbles screams 'freudian slip'.
I think both of them feel some kind of pull towards each other (Bubbles much more clearly than Faye) but neither of them wants to rock the boat.
That being said, I think their story arc should get resolved (or at least taken to the next a new stage of development) sooner rather than later.
Morituri:
Sigh. Thinking about other people's romances, before they happen, annoys me. A lot. I wish people wouldn't.
I think mostly it annoys me because of personal experience with it - people who've already decided who you should get together with, and it isn't them, are absolute poison.
At best they're Clinton's overreaching sister who tries to set him up with someone because she can't resist meddling. At worst they're the guy trying to assuage his own guilt for dumping his girlfriend, who still wants to get rid of her by pushing her together with you, who's then going to get emotionally abusive to drive her away, then call up drunk at 3 am to try to get her to come back, etc ad nauseam. Why yes, I am thinking of someone specific. Someone who is one of the reasons why I hate this kind of concern for other people's romances so much.
If I'm not personally the object of their attention, it's still just petty gossip, and it diminishes my perception of people when they behave like petty gossips. I just wind up waiting for it to be over, and hoping people will stop behaving that way.
So anyway.... To make it short, I'm uncomfortable with the shipping. I dislike it, usually avoid threads where it's the main event, and sincerely miss the eager enforcement of the no-shipping rule this board used to have. I personally find it upsetting when the main WCDT is mainly gossipy speculation about romantic/sexual relationships.
Is it cold in here?:
Happy birthday Welu!
Global Moderator Comment Morituri, we're listening. Finding the right level for anti-shipping vigilance has been a challenge.

I was sure Faye was trying to seduce Bubbles here.
Rincewind:
Looks like Bubbles is just about ready to vent some steam! Kind of reminds me of an old anime I liked, called (in English) "Heat-guy J". About a very large combat android that worked with human sort-of-police. Serious combat would cause a lot of heat to build up, and he'd have to vent it from a bunch of exaust pipes that would pop out of his "skin". Made a noise like an air-raid siren having an orgasm. Laughed 'til I cried the first time I heard it.
