I'd just like to say that all of these sarcastic asides casting shade on those who were happy with Bubbles and Faye enjoying a close friendship are getting a touch tiresome. I personally am genuinely pleased for Bubbles and Faye as well as those who got the outcome they wished for, but is this continued gloating really necessary?

I’m sorry but...a little?
Tova:
Well, thanks for your honesty. Welcome to my ignore list.
fayelovesbubbles:
Oh wow. Yikes. It’s like that? I thought we were cool...
I don’t think this is something to block people over? I’m not trying to fight with anyone here.
Morituri:
Reading a story isn't a competitive event. Pretending to have "won" is ugly and dumb. A spot on a block list shouldn't be a surprise if you go so far as to treat someone badly about it.
I'm happy to see the ship get launched. Honestly, I am. It's a nice moment for these two characters, and has some warm fuzzies attached. But it got really tedious in here with people declaring that they wanted it to happen, or it had to happen, or they'd be mad if it didn't happen, instead of having the common respect to just wait for the artist to tell the story before feelings of vast entitlement made them feel like they had a right to demand that the artist give them a particular story.
And treating the start of a romantic relationship as a resolution of anything doesn't work either. What happened without conflict isn't resolution, it's progression. The ship getting launched is either part of the "happily ever after" coda from the Corpse Witch story - although it comes a bit too long after it for that to really work - or part of the setup of a new story. Either way, it's a minor event in terms of story plotting, however nice it is for the characters.
Tova:
I agree with all of this. I think it has been one of Jeph's better stories. Watching Bubbles open up has been satisfying, as well as Faye's gradual realisation that she does indeed love Bubbles. Now they face significant challenge as they navigate a new relationship while both living and working with each other. It will be interesting to see it unfold.
