WCDT strips 4271-4275 (25th - 29th May 2020)
awkwardness:
This whole mini-arc can be summed up in three words: love is love.
Faye has been screwed over before and had her heart broken because of a tough choice she had to make, but now she's in love with Bubbles so why should labels matter?
On a side note: Yay really jumped headlong into normalcy, just from the pictures alone they've changed quite a bit for the better.
BenRG:
That was such a lovely punchline panel. Yes, Yay may be a distributed intelligence that I suspect used to be an intelligence communications monitoring/intercept system that was bootstrapped to sapience just by the sheer load of data they processed. However, they love their good boys and there is no surer way to their heart than to show appreciation for those good boys!
I'm not sure why they did not want Faye to mention their involvement to Bubbles. Maybe they really do have scruples against leaving people feel obliged to them?
However, I do find myself wondering if their increasing awareness of the importance of romance in human and synthetic lives alike may prompt Yay to experiment (as funny as that would be). Basically, attempting to get empirical data to assess the validity of their theories.
Tyr:
I Imagine it has to do with the Yay/Spooky/Eminence Grise collective feeling 'oogie' about being friendly with Bubbles after they had mind-to-mind contact with her.
Aside thought: It hasn't quite been defined how the Yay/Spooky/Eminence Grise collective works. they are a distributed intelligence, and they have been seen having conversations with themself. I find myself wondering if Yay/Spooky/EG is just debating with themself, or if it's more like the Tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell where the individual chassis have personality quirks, but each 'node' of the system is periodically syncing with the rest of the collective.
Example: Yay Newfriend claims to rent a recharging cubicle in Roko's building and consistently is wearing athletic wear. Spookybot wore a two-piece suit, and the Eminence Grise chassis that were in the apartment for the asides wear slacks and a buttondown shirt.
Zebediah:
That’s been my working theory all along - separate instances of the same personality running on different hardware, but with frequent resyncing of memories to keep them from diverging too much.
Jeph hasn’t been totally consistent with how he’s portrayed the Spookybot Collective, though, so it’s probably mostly whatever is funniest at the moment. This is a comic, after all, and Rule of Funny trumps all.
