--- Quote from: efindumb on 06 May 2018, 20:37 ---Would "never had someone who loved her like family before" be a valid option? She may have feelings for Bubbles, but I think she's also feeling so close to Bubbles that she may actually love her but not in a sexual way.
We have seen how her sister is, perhaps she's simply not noticing that she cares deeply about Bubbles and is mistaking that caring for sexual feelings?
--- End quote ---
Not saying you are definitely wrong, but the moment that sparked this self-examination was a back-rub and intimate touching. Faaaaaaaaairly sure that goes beyond "family".
shanejayell:
Go Marten. :D
They REALLY need to bring back Faye's therapist, possibly.
Is it cold in here?:
Oh, that would be wonderful. I've missed Dr. Buenvenida.
jesslc:
Yeah! Good on Marten for not just telling her what she wanted to hear. And I agree with shanejayell, this would be a great time to bring back Faye's therapist.
BenRG:
It seems to me that Faye has already come to a decision and wants someone to validate it for her. Marten isn't cooperating and that's making it harder to do what she thinks she wants to do, which is just brush it off. Of course, the fact that she wants and needs external validation suggests that she's more reacting out of fear to the unknown and unfamiliar.
Panel 3 is the key one in this strip: All Faye has been trying to do, possibly since her father's death, has been to try to find a low-energy place of safety, stability where she can just curl up and live an easy, safe existence for the rest of her life. That simply isn't possible of course. She and Bubbles may be 'content' (Bubbles's words) with the status quo but it doesn't make it long-term stable, especially when they both have to deal with desires that, unspoken, will just continue to impact on their reactions and sense of stability.
Gosh, I'm getting all psychobabble here, aren't I? I suppose the point has to be this: One way or another, Marten is right in panel 5: Faye and Bubbles, if they don't want their friendship to fall apart because of the tension, must, must, must acknowledge and move forwards from where they really are, not the illusory place that they want to be.
