Why does FxB make me so happy?
cybersmurf:
You know, people like Sven display some kind of confidence that make them attractive. Also, it was the general IDGAF situation. Oh, well, the irony of that sentence though.
After the Sven disaster Angus was the one that cared, and wanted to fight for it. To quote Dora: It feel good to be pursued. (or something like that).
And Bubbles? That's a LOT of emotional investment on Faye's side, and it led to special connection between the two. And it worked out in the end. Also, from my experience, there's not only homo and hetero, and one point in between, but like 50 shades of gray (.... sorry for that one). And apparently it takes a special person to get Faye out of the hetero corner. Not impossible, but quite improbable, as we see.
AlliedToasters:
The relationship was especially pogniant for me - it brought me out of years of lurkerhood on this forum, for example. I don’t really know why. It has something to do with how they are able to relate with each other without speaking so explicitly about it. The way they are both sort of armored characters who tend to recoil or lash out instead of exposing their sensitive nature. The fact that Faye has finally found somebody stable who will stick around. It’s just a solid, adult relationship in a comic where we’re used to more immature drama and shenanigans. It’s a nice change of pace and a symbol for state of AI in human society, a theme that has slowly matured in the background for the entirety of the comic. It’s just quite nice. And somehow relatable, although I share very little in common with either character.

Despite your avatar, I'm guessing you're human.
And that's plenty in common with both of them.

Oh, the humanity!

I wonder whether JJ remembered this strip https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2262 when Bubble and Faye became a thing in his head.
