I have to disagree that Sven is a shithead. Yeah, he hurt Faye's feelings by sleeping with another but he never promised monogamy - he pretty much admitted he couldn't/wouldn't do that. And he told her even though he could have gotten away with lying and it lead to him suffering as a result because he knew that matter to Faye.

Yeah confessing his love may have been selfish but it would have been a rom com if Faye had reciprocated. He's not a bad guy and I'd like to see him more. Character growth would be great but I don't want a character change.

fayelovesbubbles:
If we can agree that May possesses great insight, and we have seen the way she talks to Sven, I think we can be pretty sure that she's right about him. And I agree with her.

Aw yeah, May is one of my favorite characters, not least because of her bluntness. Trying to play mind games to figure out what people are thinking or feeling ("don't worry about it"...) is a lot more stressful than just getting yelled at "FUCK OFF COCKSTINKER" lol. And she's a lot of fun too. Maybe jerkasses attract.

Momo is...harder to read. I mean I don't dislike her, I like all the characters but...she's not really at the top of my list.

But together the shenanigans are one of the best in the comic. Especially since Momo is one of the few who can credibly restrain May (Dale can temper her very worst an account of giving her a place to stay).

As for Sven...while he's one of the lower-quality characters, the worst I ever remember him was at the very beginning, bullying Marten into helping him escape from someone he ditched. Seemed more like a generic shallow cad than a real monster.

...Does Marigold still have Sven's book? For the longest time I thought for sure that was going to end up with them hooking up and I was going "WHAAAAAAT".

fayelovesbubbles:
I feel bad for Dora having this gross embarrassing brother that she can't get away from. Faye can get rid of him, all the women he dates can get rid of him, but Dora is stuck being his sister for the rest of her life.  :-(

I totally supported her decision to cut him out of her life.

I am so grateful that my brothers are decent people. I'd be mortified if either of them behaved as Sven has.

fayelovesbubbles:
I also absolutely love the relationship between May and Dale. May will always be blunt and honest with him, telling him how dumb he was to tell Marigold that Emily was prettier than her "objectively." Dale won't get away with any bullshit with May around, and Dale helps May remember that there are people in the world who care about her. He was supportive when she dealt with anti AI discrimination when she was looking for work. May also takes zero bullshit from people who treat AIs badly and say "oh, we don't hire robots."
