I get your point. Simply transpose to a granny watching a telenovela to understand what Castlerook means, I think...

Faye is already treating Bubbles unfairly, though certainly it may be the best she can do. How would you feel if your best friend asked you for a back rub, then reached back to touch your thigh, then ran out? How would you feel if you were emotionally fragile to begin with?

I'd argue that Faye is only treating Bubbles unfairly if she comes back and doesn't immediately explain why she left. panicking at a tricky social situation is unavoidable sometimes, but you can always explain that's what happened, and failing to do so is what has lasting conequence, in my opinion.

an in-comic example is when Renee was super weird to Elliot then, when she realized she fucked up, apologized and explained the situation. Obviously there are limits to the situations this pertains to, but I think it does apply to the Faye/ Bubbles situation.

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 09 May 2018, 14:07 ---Bubbles in particular needs a friendship more than she needs romance, as I see it. She has lost the bond with her squad. She needs emotional support as she experiments with being in the world. Romance could come later.

--- End quote ---
I quite agree. Bubbles was basically shut down emotionally for some time. She had lost her squad. Even though it was not her fault, I think she feels that she failed them. So it's been difficult for her to allow someone else to trust her. Then she trusted Corpse Witch to help her, only to get blackmailed instead, making it nigh impossible for her to trust anyone else. Now that someone has finally come along who has been dedicated and patient enough to trust her and earn her trust, and to forge a friendship, her emotions have been re-awakened at an intense level.


Unquestionably, she and Faye love each other. That much was obvious even before there was any hint of romantic interest from either of them. Yes, it is entirely possible that this has become romantic love, but it is equally possible that they are both mistaking these sudden intense emotions for romance, when it is only a very strong friendship. For them to jump into a romantic relationship headfirst as soon as they have realized that it is a possibility is a huge risk for both of them. I've been there and made that mistake. Hopefully, now that the envelope is open, as it were, they can take it slow and see how the letter unfolds.

Is it cold in here?:
>Unquestionably, she and Faye love each other.

Yes. People in my culture often seem to forget that love includes philos.

Comic's up.

I hope Bubbles is merely sniffing some tea at Coffee of Doom. More likely she's walking laps around town or turning to Pintsize for advice as a matter of last resort.
