--- Quote from: BenRG on 10 Dec 2020, 01:16 ---Okay, on one level, this is disturbing: Brun is more into what's inside Millie's skin that what's outside.
On the other level...? This strikes me that something Jeph has wanted to do on a world-building level for a while. Just like he showed us just what was under the derma on May's head when she had the skin tone of her replacement face changed way back when. However, if that is really the whole point of this strip, I'd have preferred it if he'd done it as a bonus full-page panel ("What is inside Millefeulle's skin") or something rather than waste a day of this arc. Bottom line: Today's whole strip could have been done as a single full-width panel leaving another 2/3 of the page for actual narrative.

I disagree. Today's comic is not about what's under Millefeuille's skin. It's about Brun character building and evolution. She discovered so much since yesterday!

I see what you’re saying, but I think what makes me uncomfortable is that it’s an object they made for a sentient being. It’s now part of Millefeulle. At what point does it stop being an ass they made and start being a Millefeulle’s ass?

--- Quote ---As of Strip 3161, Sam is 14 years old, just so you know. Still rather young but old enough that the first crush may come crashing through the window at any second!
--- End quote ---
Sure shes 14 but she acts like a 12 year old but be that as it may I'd still rather not see this author attempt that type of story line, it's one thing to get it wrong with adults (today's strip for example) but its quite another when it involves a young teenager

This is one of the few things I'll agree with AO3's detractors ("antis") on. While I understand teenagers need a safe outlet to express/explore their sexuality with, the fact of the matter is that we're dealing with the internet. Trying to prove who's who and how old they are is quite difficult. Which makes protecting minors from predators and sussing out who's a pedo and who's actually a teenager difficult. The whole thing is quite messy. And Lord knows any legislation put forward as a means of sorting things out will just get misused as a way to enact cyberpunk dystopian levels of draconian measures that don't actually address the issue.

My kid is 12 and has a lot of older friends. From this, I’ve learned there is a large variation of behavior in middle school adolescents. I hadn’t seen so much variation in kids looking different in age/maturity since preschool. I think it is because growth and hormones at that age range can really vary from one person to the next. From a parenting perspective, it is a really big change which makes it challenging, but I love seeing my kid and her friends go through this. It happens so quickly compared to other parts of childhood, and it is amazing seeing them become the people they may be when they are adults. Anyhow, most of them (even the more mature of them) still seem to have random energized super silly moments not encountered in most adults. Some even still have impulse control issues, but to be fair? Plenty of adults retain that. None of the characters (so far) seem to have unrealistic behaviors for their ages.

It'll always be an ass they participated in making, but how much of her ass is their handiwork.. It is, always was---always will be---her ass. Unless she disowns it. Or it's repossessed?

--- Quote from: Cornelius on 09 Dec 2020, 23:34 ---For the moment, I'm reading this as an admiration for the mechanics, rather than anything romantic, as well, really.
The ship may be on the stocks, but it might be a little early to launch, still. Besides, what kind of relationship could ensue if I like how you are mechanically put together, and want to literally take you apart and put you back together again is about the level of the most amazing experience for one of the partners? If I were were Millefeuille, that might be a slightly disconcerting, if not downright creepy, idea.

What was Amanda's quote that one time? "That was the day I learned there's no way you can remove your head from inside another girl's thigh in a nonchalant manner"?
Doesn't sound quite right.
