Dale when he comes home (If they went to his place I mean)
That said, not exactly thrilled with the outcome because... Well... Sven... But pleased with how happy May seems.

OK, maybe I read her expression wrong, but... she doesn't seem THAT happy to me? If this is a smile, and not a general, somewhat ambiguous "so... that happened" expression, then it's a pretty "slasher killer" smile in my book.
EDIT: I think it's the eyes. With a genuine smile, eyes narrow (I don't know how true it is for May's chassis, but with no other data, I assume her facial expressions work like they would for a human). Her eyes are wide and the pupils/irises are small, which in comic book visual shorthand does indicate a strong reaction, but doesn't exactly register as "blissful" to me.
EDIT 2: I'm not saying May is not satisfied, I'm just reading her expression as, well... expressing more than just happiness. Charitably, I read her face as a mix of happy, overwhelmed, and a little weirded out? Which in itself would be interesting for character development, because May expressing strong emotions other than contempt and anger is comparatively rare. For one, I'd love to see what happens when May is overwhelmed by anything (especially after her recent statement that sex is simple, but I digress).

I don't feel bad for Momo, who still cares about an ancient lust-crush from a self-repressed person? Though full disclosure: I like Momo well enough, but I don't have much respect for how she treats others sometimes. So you know what maybe it would be nice to see her freak out a moment over something different.
Also to speak to people speculating about May's chassis, it bears pointing out that she has major body/self issues, and has since the beginning. It's different than some of the other characters, but you really can't do proper assessment on her without remembering that.

I don't feel bad for Momo per se, but I do wonder if May took into consideration Momo's feelings at all before jumping in the sack/watermelon/bathtub of lube with Sven.
Most people I know would say that casually hooking up with someone your best friend (or second-best friend maybe, if Dale is #1) has a crush on is not exactly cool. Especially if it's just a random meaningless hookup (yes, it's highly debatable whether this one was meaningless, I know). Considering your friend's feelings before doing so is something I would definitely expect.
Yes, you can't call dibs on a person, but unless you are actually interested in pursuing a meaningfulTM relationship, there is not real reason to hook up with the one person your friend has a crush on and needlessly hurting your friend that way.
That said, I have no problem with other people's differing opinions on this matter. Frankly, in real life I also struggle with these kind of situations where multiple friends were interested in the same person.
de_la_Nae:
Has Momo's thing come up in years now, our time? Does May even know?
this is one of those subjects where I argue it shouldn't actually matter anyway, even if she does know. but i'm not gonna do a whole post about it more than i already have :p

May knows; she actually noticed Momo's reaction to Sven and challenged her to act on it (before trash-talking Sven and suggesting that no-one could admire him the way he does).
I agree with what people on the Subreddits have been saying: If May was interested in Sven, she was under no obligation to honour some alleged 'prior claim' on her friend's part. Momo has had a couple of years and has never taken action, even after getting a highly anthropomimetic chassis, so she really has no moral basis to complain, especially as she specifically denied it to May. In any case, this seems to have been more of a mutual curiosity thing for both of them; something along the lines of: "Can I really do this (and enjoy it) and will the other party enjoy it?"
