I am reminded of when May's face was damaged and she went to the fighting ring to get it fixed. They had orange and khaki. May chose khaki. (3174) It looked fine. But it quickly faded to dead white. Never explained. May wanted her face to match her ass (3358) so she bought the correct color at a shop and went back and got it installed. (off screen between 3363 and 3365) So I am sure that Union Robotics is quite capable of returning Melon to her original appearance.

I mean, I can't quite imagine what drives people to actively hope for such things, it seems more than a little sociopathic to me, but you do you I guess.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Faye and Bubbles seem to be the only standing human/AI romantic relationship in the strip at the moment, so with all the focus on AIs for the past while, I can't imagine Jeph would break them up without some replacement in the wings -- kind of like how Faye and Angus broke up to make storyline way for Marten and Claire as the "hetero relationship with focus".
Jeph does, however, love to toss an abrupt bomb between two characters in a relationship and then see where they settle in a (hopefully) healthier configuration afterwards.

...they're fictional characters. Character conflict and drama can make for interesting stories.
I don't particularly need them having a big fight as a story seed, but the idea that hoping for a certain kind of storyline involving fictional characters is "sociopathic" is... wild.

For the poll, I chose Aldebaran, partially since it's in the constellation of Taurus, and I am one,[1] as well as the Lovecraftian associations. Right now, I'd much rather deal with horrors of a tentacular nature than I do the horrors around that walk on two legs.
[1] Not that I believe in that sort of thing, but to err is human, to moo bovine.

Well yes, I'm well aware that "conflict drives drama", every new arc in QC has that as some element. Duh.
Where I'm coming from on that is that the last time Faye had a "breakup/breakdown combo", didn't she end up in hospital and nearly dying (or at least implied so) due to alcohol poisoning? And somebody eagerly wants more of that and thinks it's funny?
Like, yes, I want to see characters grow and develop, but I don't want to see them suffer unnecessarily and/or pointlessly just for shock value and "entertainment".
