Who'd she bully?
Reaver:
Just because May's had a hard life, doesn't mean she's automatically got a "get out of consequences for her choice of actions free" card to go with it.
She has a right to be upset at Momo, she has a right to be confused about what she did with Sven.
She also has every right for Roko to fricken snap at her for her insensitive actions, Roko's been through some heavy shit, she doesn't feel at home or comfortable in a body she didn't want, while May makes light of the fact that Roku got crushed, and now has things she has to do for her new body.
May is not a delicate broken glass vase that needs to be handled with delicate touches.
She's a adult that needs to learn that if you just snap at everyone b/c you're having a hard time, you'll find yourself alone, nobody needs to take her crap just because she's got it bad.
Also "MAH NEW CAH SMELLEN ASS"

--- Quote from: David F on 10 Jun 2019, 17:12 ---I see May very differently. She has almost no filter, and a penchant for profanity. (Poor impulse control is pretty much her defining characteristic from the beginning.) The moment Dale sort-of agreed to the "Virtual Companion" beta, she dropped the facade and started swearing. And yet, he stuck it out with her, because he saw that underneath the crudity, she's actually a pretty decent person.
--- End quote ---
Unfiltered and impulsive are traits that May has but that just means that the character doesn't hold things back and acts on whims. I think Emily, for example, is impulsive and unfiltered but Emily isn't mean and May is. It's also possible for May to be the jerk with a heart of gold trope but I stand by the jerk portion. In other words, I'm not saying she's irredeemable but she is undeniably a mean person.
The fact that the way she talked to Roko is "positively friendly" for May is also kind of my point ... that's her "nice." And yeah, she apologized to Winslow .. sort of ... I mean after Hanners stood up to her. May is hardly the only character that does this and I'm still interested it reading their stories for sure - the drama makes the story more interesting to read. Doesn't make her less of a jerk, it's just part of the character, along with poor impulse control, etc. which has a back story to inform it imo.
SmilingCat:
May has her kinks, but the hilarious boston accent clearly isn't one of them.
(or at least not paying for it...)
badbum61:
So Roko's Bawstin accent comes out when she's angry.
I seem to recall another character whose Southern accent (and contractions) only came out when she was drunk...
