DaiJB:
New comic!
So, Faye was feeling a bit irrationally jealous - but she realised it straight away, good girl...
...And a supremely powerful AI is scared of Faye?? That's hilarious!
TheEvilDog:
So it does seem like Faye's problem is realising that she might not be Bubbles' first partner.
And that's a huge thing to realise. You might not be their first kiss. Their first lover. Their first love. When a relationship like Faye and Bubbles is built up on the idea that everything is new to them, that spectre of Bubbles' past rocks everything at its foundations, at least, to Faye. In her eyes it might not mean as much to Bubbles as it does to her. Right now, Faye is dealing with a vast array of emotions at once. She's angry, she's scared, she's confused, she's jealous.
She's angry at herself for thinking like that. She's scared because of what that hitherto lost past might change her relationship. She's confused because its hitting her all at once. And she's jealous because she might lose her place in Bubbles' heart. Its all irrational of course, but people in love rarely are.
Course, this morning I looked it up and the US military frowns on fraternisation in its ranks, so it could just be that Bubbles' only relationships before Faye were simply squad camaraderie and friendships. And given how long it was since Bubbles has served and the suggestion that romantic AI/Human relationships are a very new thing, I'd imagine that nothing happened/
Zebediah:
Yeah, it’s irrational. I mean, Bubbles isn’t Faye’s first, is she? It’s crazy, once you’re an adult, to expect that someone else won’t have their own romantic history.
But at least Faye realizes that she’s being an idiot. That’s a good first step.
Meanwhile we have Spookybot shenanigans incoming.
shanejayell:
I love Spooky trying to hide. *lol*
sitnspin:
I love how people here are perfectly rational and never make less than perfect choices in emotionally fraught situations.
