I DO feel a bit sorry for Clinton, even if he's being a drunken ass. :-P
sitnspin:
Clinton isn't being malicious, he seems to honestly think he was being helpful, and Elliot isn't communicating his feelings, so Clinton has no way of knowing that Elliot was hurt.

--- Quote from: Beast_Reborn on 28 Oct 2020, 20:42 --- I was never quite as pissed off at Corpse Witch as I now am at Clinton, which I suppose says a lot about how I'm reading this story.

I had to look up that arc again. I'd forgotten who Corpse Witch was, despite remembering the "partitioned memories" plot.
Corpse Witch was a cartoon villain. What she did amounted to slavery enforced by blackmail, and objectively far, far worse. But it was hard to seriously hate her because she was so 2 dimensional, and we never liked her in the first place.
Clinton, on the other hand, is a full-fledged character who has generally been sympathetic. He's a lot more real to us than Corpse Witch.

That depends on if you've ever met anyone like corpse witch IRL. A horribly selfish, endlessly manipulative, conniving, lying, sociopath only out for their own gain and any opportunity to screw some else over.

Yep! Corpsewitch literally reminded me of my own mother, hate that character significantly more than Clinton
Penquin47:
I'm hoping that, perhaps with a gentle push from his mom or a less gentle kick from his sister, Clinton will realize how shitty what he did was and apologize to Elliot. After all, he is usually a pretty nice guy and wouldn't want to hurt Elliot, but he's also a pretty clueless guy sometimes. And that when he apologizes to Elliot, he makes it clear that it wasn't "oh if she'd said she was attracted to me I'd have forgotten all about you, I just saw an opportunity to know for sure what options we had and took it." Elliot's a nice guy too, and as we saw from how he handled Renee's challenge to "ask them out next time you see one of them", well... I'll let Elliot speak for himself. "I handled that in pretty much the stupidest way possible!" He knows what it's like to be unsure of himself and therefore make a really boneheaded mistake.
If these two do end up getting together, which I'm still hoping for, they're both going to need a lot of patience and forgiveness with each other and with themselves.

I’d rather Claire stay out of it, she’s faaaar too intrusive and pushy with Clintons love life as is... This should be a momma thing( We never get to see Clinton with his mom anyways)
