Apropos of nothing, I am just noticing that Bub's speech pattern resembles the early days of Faye when she did not use contractions unless she was schnickered...
Tova:
Well, I'm confused.
DaiJB:
"Killer Death Espresso (with extra espresso)"
Actually, I'd prefer "Killer Death Espresso (with extra Death)" - but that's just because I like coffee strong enough to corrode my fillings :-D
I wonder what Faye is up to? She wasn't upset or anything in the previous comic, so I don't suspect anything stupid - but she's definitely covering up something...
Elder Sign:
Wait ... what? Why or how is Bubbles having an awkward moment suddenly cause for Faye to be all abruptly "welp I'm out" and "whatever"ing her significant other?
Is this Faye simply having a "foot in mouth" realization and thinking she's better off at home rather than accidentally provoking painful moments? Or is she somehow blaming Bubbles for the unpleasantness, given the brusque dismissal at the end?
If it's (B), then I'm really starting to get the poster upthread who said something about Faye being ultimately too prickly and unpleasant to be worth the trouble.
azurite:
Could be all at once it struck her that her entire relationship with Bubbles could be deleted without a trace, the idea of this pinged back on her father's suicide and whether she understood that explicitly or not, it triggered her; now she needs a few minutes alone to get her bearings back and figure out what's going on.
Chances are she's not going to be able to explain it to Bubbles until she understands it more herself, so she just got out of there. As someone with a trauma disorder, I've found it's basically impossible to be polite if I'm triggered badly enough because my resources are all tied up in being triggered. It's usually a victory if I don't end up doubled over myself in a bathroom stall. Of course, I've done my best to establish protocols, code words and friends who know what's up in advance of my suddenly tipping into shutdown, but that's because I've been dealing with trauma for decades and come to terms with some stuff. Lots of people with trauma disorders don't/won't understand trauma response. I feel like that's because how little science really understands about trauma overall.
