I agree that lately not a lot has been happening in QC, but I feel like a lot has been part of setting up new storylines. JJ has a history of planning narratives pretty well, so I am pretty hopeful. Most of the setup seems to have been around Brun, and now around Marten/Claire and possibly around Tai.

I'll just pipe in with my anxiety in that his creative energy is going into this new project and QC is coasting on neutral.
Oh there is still direction and as you pointed out an eventual series of destinations have been mapped out but the drive just doesn't seem to be there at the moment.
Is it cold in here?:

But I would expect Faye to have a moment of thinking "WTF did you just say?" before realizing she meant nothing by it. It kinda seems Jeph forgot about Faye's past.

Welcome, new person!
I wondered about that too.

As for your assessment on Claire, I can't say I see that the same way. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this only the second time CLaire has gotten high, and only for a very specific reason this time (i.e. graduating)? To me that hardly qualifies as trying to redefine her as a stoner, at least at this point. Of course it's possible that JJ takes it into that direction as Claire could be susceptible to weed addiction due to some anxieties she may have. If so, perhaps the narrative could develop into not so much about Tai having a problem herself, but about Tai being an enabler/facilitator.

well second time as an event, though each event in the strip is spread over several pages, making it more of a story point
and between that ive had a literal TON of negative interactions with stoners thus giving me a negative outlook on recreational drug use, and
that im trans and LOVED claire being introduced as a wholesome person just trying to lvie a normal life at the start and dont approve of that
things turned for the worse to damage that image

I suppose that there must be some dissonance here, but then again, I live in a university town in California, where weed is legal. I don't touch the stuff, myself, due to the effects it has on me, but I'm used to people casually smoking it in public. Honestly, I see it as just "normal", like when Hanners still smoked cigarettes. TBH, it was the drunks that annoy me more. Before the lockdown, I'd leave bars by about 8pm just to avoid the kids coming in and getting obnoxious.

I'm with Bubbles on this. I don't care if people smoke marijuana, but dear god does that stuff smell horrible. :psyduck:
