Context is important; as I understand it, some people believe that some other people’s criticism of certain characters is, if not directly excessive, certainly disproportionate when compared to the balance of the cast exhibiting similar behaviours. Whether this is statistically true or not remains to be answered.

Another mealworm run, of course.
(and it's awesome that you can get mealworms in Northampton at 4 am)

Yay: “Where are we going to find mealworms at this time of night?”
Roko: “I know a guy. He deals mealworms from the trunk of his car in the parking lot behind Thorne’s. O’Malley has been trying to bust him for years, but we never could figure out exactly what law he was breaking.”

--- Quote from: Reaver on 21 May 2020, 20:12 ---Easy Faye, be nice to yourself..nothing just talking to Bubbles about won't fix <3
Also remember she's not your first either eh?
--- End quote ---
Point of Order?
She IS Faye's first.
Her 1st AI relationship.
And (AFAIK) her 1st Female relationship.
Faye is 'suffering' from "She's my first .. I thought I was hers".
An irrational, but very human, reaction.
(Better... she is aware that it is irrational!)
--- End quote ---
I think this is very close to what is going on here. Faye may feel uncertain as to whether her current feelings are 'simple' jealousy when finding out your partner may have had other/more prior partners than you thought, or whether her current feelings are an indication that she may have only been open to the relationship with Bubbles because of its fairytale aspects of 'first one for each other' and 'meant to be' uniqueness. The sudden realization that your current relationship is possibly 'just' a next one in a line for your partner instead of her deliberately having chosen you as 'the one' can be unsettling, if hopefully only briefly.
It's worth considering whether Faye has ever really thought about her current relationship and future and how it relates to her and Bubbles' own histories in more detail, and this may be the trigger to do so.
FWIW, I think she will come to realize that her love for Bubbles and their relationship is entirely sincere and exactly what she wants.

She's not HER first relationship though, and so far we don't know if she's irrationally upset about being Bubble's first relationship, or first organic human meat relationship.
But I am proud of Faye for realizing "Crap I'm being irrational" Old Faye woulda stormed off and threatened to punch Marten in the gut or something, Bubbles really IS good for her.
