--- Quote from: mgrayson3 on 30 May 2018, 05:14 ---My statement arises from Brun's seeming lack of interest in a more intimate relationship. Should she want one, and be willing to face the difficulties and changes to her routines? Then sure. I'm not implying she's "bad" or "damaged". She's one of the most interesting characters, and that's a high bar!

OK. That explanation makes much more sense to me. Thank you for clearing that up.

I do think we should consider the possibility that Brun isn't responding to their interest because she might be ace or aro or just not interested in them or just not interested right now. There are lots of reasons why she might be aware that Clinton and Elliot are interested in a romantic relationship with her and she simply doesn't want to respond to that interest. In that case, they certainly would do well to move on.

But I also think that Brun, if she's interested, would make an excellent partner. She doesn't assume she knows what someone is thinking or feeling unless they tell her. She doesn't  assume anyone knows what she's thinking or feeling unless she tells them. She is very direct and honest about her communication. Even in the middle of a catastrophic event, she had the presence of mind to explain to Clinton that she would probably become non verbal and explain what she would need from him when that happened. As long as she has a partner willing to be similarly direct and honest with her, I think they'd be great together.

And I think Clinton has been learning to do that. It started with him talking to Emily about feeling awkward around her after she turned him down and how much better they both felt about it after that short conversation. Brun nudged him in that direction again when she said "[that] usually means 'I don't want to explain it to you'" after Elliot walked in on them smelling each other.

So even if it doesn't turn romantic, I think they'll have a great relationship.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 30 May 2018, 23:27 ---Finally; panel 2: Am I the only one who thinks that Jeph is warning us that Faye's mother is going to be a problem. One interpretation of some stuff she said was that she was okay with Amanda being homosexual only because she expected Faye to give her grandkids? There's no reason why Faye and Bubbles couldn't adopt or do something really exotic using Spookybot's jak headset but I'm not sure if Mrs W will be entirely okay with this.

You’re not the only one who is concerned about Faye’s mother (since I already mentioned it). I’m not sure who made that interpretation of Mrs. W’s words or how they arrived at it, but she made it fairly clear that she is not OK with Amanda being homosexual, but she also knows she isn’t going to change it. She also made it clear in the same strip that she does not expect Faye to give her any grandkids.

fayelovesbubbles:
From the moment Faye asked Bubbles to rub her shoulder, to the two of them getting dressed and discussing how their friends will react...what a beautiful storyline.

fayelovesbubbles:
Yeah, I think Faye’s mom is going to be less than okay. Blegh.

I need to ask the important questions: when are we going to see Bubbles' kickass purple lipstick again?
