On the subject of people debating the word crush:
“I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.” -Terry Pratchett

I am fighting myself SO HARD right now. My pessimistic (and realistic, in my opinion) bet was on Clinton saying no, but I really want them to get together. :psyduck: :psyduck:
My fate lies in the hands of the great Jacques now; may he end it swiftly and with mercy.

Of course, my interest is for it to drag on so long that Clinton's time runs out (a few (3--7) in-story days). Too bad for me, I didn't hedge my bets properly (but I still think the odds are in my favor): even if I didn't bet, this would be the outcome I wanted, because we get to see more of the ``lead-in'' to the relationship (or false start thereof etc).
Perfectly Reasonable:
Dang. Now I wanna read about the rebellious princess trying to escape an arranged marriage...
Wingy:
I must have missed this, but what's the protocol for grammar & spelling errors in the comic? I just noticed panel 4 of 4327 is missing an "a" in front of shipbuilding and panel 5 has "against" all scrambled (looks like I typed it, actually)...
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: snubnose on 12 Aug 2020, 00:56 ---Rowling says transgenders shouldnt be allowed to mislead people about the fact that they are transgenders. In the world of this comic, thats as if Marten would not have been informed beforehand that Claire is transgender and wouldnt be allowed to protest against it or leave the relationship because of it.

Global Moderator Comment Let's avoid even inadvertent offense to our trans members. It turns out, for example, that "transgenders" can cause offense. https://ischoolsjsu.libguides.com/geist/2. It's a high degree of care but it is what's needed to be decent. UPDATE: to put it more positively, "trans people" is a good phrase to use. UPDATE: That's also not a good summary of what Rowling said, the totality of which would have gotten her kicked out of here.
