Junk food. Whatever CW’s other flaws, she paid better than freelancing appears to, so Faye is running on packet noodles and scavenged baked goods r/n. Which is cheap but not conducive to retaining muscle tone. Also I suspect the actual manual labour part of the workload has gone down a lot too.
Once Punchbot gets the legal fighting ring opened up, we can only hope UR becomes the preferred service provider for them.

--- Quote from: Potato Farmer on 09 Feb 2021, 06:44 ---I've always found the cultural appropriation issue somewhat iffy and this instance is even shakier than most.
--- End quote ---
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a good illustration of what cultural appropriation is.
Note that while Jack is well-meaning, he doesn't ask any of the Christmas Town locals about the meaning of any part of what he sees in Christmas town.
--- End quote ---
What's the problematic part of Jack's plan in Nightmare Before Christmas? Is it really the fact that he adopts the trappings of Christmas without understanding their meaning? Or is it, you know, the kidnapping?
--- End quote ---
Both.

*blinks twice*
I. I forgot about the kidnapping there for a moment.
That just gives me an excuse to rewatch it in February since I didn't get a chance to watch it last year (I own a copy of it, work just really sucked.)

--- Quote from: WAYF on 10 Feb 2021, 02:11 ---So if I remember correctly, the next step to any character's Initiation Into Main Cast is to invite them to the Horrible Revelation to get drunk. That will have to happen tomorrow in comic time... UNLESS Clinton forgets that he just made plans for a dinner date with Elliott tonight. :psyduck:
Maybe they could squeeze both in, depending on how early dinner finishes. Elliott did say he had a shift at the HR afterwards. But then this single day of comic time would go on for well over 100 strips. Has that ever happened before?

(click to show/hide) $10 says someone's already drawn "fan art" of Willow getting sandwiched by Clinton and Elliot. No, I'm not going to be looking that up. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some had done the same or similar with Brun in her place. I stumbled across "fan art" of Clinton and Brun either last year or the year before when looking for non-lewd fanart of Brun.
This post is separate from my previous one in the event the mods decide it needs deleting. It's in spoilers so as not to be terribly insensitive.
WAYF:
On the subject of... what you just described, I have yet to see Jeph make a serious effort at a polyamorous relationship in QC, but there are various indicators that he might consider it if he thought he could balance the dynamics. So that could become canon I suppose.
Having said that, right now I vastly prefer Brun over Willow potential partner to Clinton and Elliott. But there's no romantic prospects there.
Morituri:
I don't see Brun and Clinton as compatible partners, really. I've known several people who Brun strongly reminds me of, and as far as I know none of them ever developed any conventional romantic relationships. So maybe I'm projecting those people on Brun. Two of them had at least one healthy relationship each with some mutual physical attraction, but I don't think they became conventionally 'romantic' as such in that there wasn't the kind of mutual processing and focus on the relationship itself that I associate with romance.
And I don't see Clinton as being able to be the other partner in a relationship that from his perspective would be incomplete.
Elliot, OTOH, I can see developing a healthy relationship with Brun. He approaches the idea of a relationship, I think, with not so many preconceptions and expectations that Brun wouldn't fit. I'd think of him focusing on Brun herself rather than trying to project expectations onto her. With lots of inevitable false steps and fretting and freaking out along the way as he doesn't know what's going to be important or unimportant to her, and vice versa - but I'd somehow expect Elliot to be more able than Clinton to STOP freaking out and fretting and projecting incompatible expectations once he understood something about her.
Brun and Renee's relationship seems healthy to me. But I don't think there's any mutual physical attraction there, nor any romance.
