As I think their is much more drama to be had from a failing/failed relationship I hope it does not work. I really don't want another happy couple put on the happy couple shelf to make space for another new character. I really find it hard top get invested in some ofthe recent characters who seem to have been spewed out with a 3 word summary rather than a genuine description. Melons - she is kooky, Tilly - They are they, Roko - Cop fetishizes bread.

BenRG:
FWIW, I think that equating 'drama' with 'relationship failure' is erroneous and I totally reject that it is necessary. If anything, I find it cliché, unimaginative and knee-jerk.

Nothing personal, I just don't think that it automatically adds anything to the strip.

Haha, I feel a little embarrassed now. Yes, over the past year and a half my avatar has been various moments with Faye and Bubbles. My username ...well, let's just say I got some messages from people who were less than pleased about it.

One thing I like about my username is that it was the unknown quantity. I knew that Bubbles loved Faye for quite some time, but truth is, until almost now nobody had any idea if my username was true or not. I'm not sure why I chose this instead of bubbleslovesfaye, but maybe it's because we were all waiting to find out. Well, the shippers anyway.

I will be honest: I was preparing for Bubbles to end up like Marigold did with Angus. Jeph said he hated having to do that to Marigold, but everything turned out as it should have. And if Faye hadn't felt the same way, I'm sure everything for Bubbles would have gone as it should, and she would have found the right person. I'm happy that Faye was the right person, though. If I'm being honest I don't know how well Bubbles would have been able to recover. My guess, not well. So I'm glad things went this way.

I maintain that I'm not a shipper, I'm just in love with love!

Annemoon:
I've seen quite a few people discussing the activity of 'shippers' here, and a quite a few people seem to have quite strong opinions against it.
What strikes me as odd, is also showing this response to a situation in which - in all honestly - the mutual attraction/affection between these people has been made quite explicitly clear.
Still reactions of excitement and the will they/won't they is responded to in almost equal negativity as if they'd been of the 'out of the blue'-shipping that people are referring to.

I don't think this is an appropriate response here, and I think people should be wary of downplaying people's excitement like this.
When you have two friends, obviously having a crush on each other, finally finding out -- of course you'd be excited.
Everyone wishes love and mutual affection to people you care about. I don't think this is an unhealthy sentiment.
And what I've seen from the large majority of 'shippers' here has been along this line of positive response.

There's no reason why they couldn't be exited, and there's no reason why you'd be in any way 'better' than 'the annoying shippers', just because you don't share this sentiment.
-- and luckily I've also seen many people just enjoying the excitement of others while not sharing it themselves, which -I would say- is the healthier reaction :)

fayelovesbubbles:
After reading this comic for so long, the characters do sort of start to feel like friends. Haha. I probably need to get out more.
