Honestly, yes, I do think it's what she wants to hear.
Faye and Bubbles can process these feelings together.

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 06 May 2018, 19:26 ---Amen. Bubbles has baggage from hell but a track record of working to overcome it. Bubbles will be loyal to the extent Marten is or even more. Faye, this is a great partner for you.
--- End quote ---
A great partner is all well and good, but you can't rely on another person to fix your problems.
Faye and Bubbles both deserve happiness, but given Faye's track record with relationships and how she deals with major changes in her life (or rather, how she failed to deal with them), kinda leaves me in the camp of "Its going to be one hell of a rocky road" for any Faye and Bubbles relationship.

--- Quote from: Tova on 06 May 2018, 15:48 ---Along the same lines, this could have been simply a joke at Faye's expense.
--- End quote ---
I'm inclined to think Marten meant it. I'm barely 10% through the archives, and I've already seen Faye punch Marten four times (once he thought his arm was broken, and once he thought he might have a concussion), punched Dora once, knocked out Agent Turing (yeah, that needed to be done to save Pintsize, but still...), and body-flipped Raven. Plus done a fair amount of threatening to several people. So at that point at least, Fayemergencies are a fairly regular occurrence. (There's also stuff with Pintsize and some of his friends, but they deserved it.)

Now I've re-read the comic, I'd agree.
fayelovesbubbles:
Angus wasn't right for Faye. That's pretty clear. Bubbles is different, very different.
They have a strong bond that can overcome a lot. Think about everything they've been through together. Faye's drinking problem. Bubbles having her memories erased. Arguments, disagreements. And they're still close. I do feel this is a place where Faye can finally feel safe.
SpanielBear:
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 06 May 2018, 20:01 ---On the eternal abuse side, there's more than one way to take her treatment of Pintsize. What does it mean ethically to hit someone who doesn't feel pain and can have dents just popped out?
--- End quote ---
In general? Depend a lot on the context of the hitting, and how it was taken by the one who is hit. Even if it didn't cause physical damage, it could still be a component of emotional abuse, for example.
(I do not feel able to say whether Faye's treatment of Pintsize falls under abuse or not.)
