Is anyone else just waiting for this pairing to happen?
Hanners and Steve would make an awesome couple.
-
Speaking of pairings that come out of nowhere... :wink:
-
I don't really see it. What does she have in common with Steve?
-
Not entirely (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=896) out of nowhere.
There isn't much there, admittedly, but you know that if those two did get together, everyone would be pointing to that strip and saying 'OMG FORESHADOWING!'
-
Man, that's nothing. Hannelore and *Marten* have actually had physical contact multiple times. Besides, Steve's in a relationship already, and Marten's going to be single soon.
-
Here's where that pairing comes from:
Who are the two best characters? Steve and Hannelore.
That's where it comes from.
The strip should have a lot more steve and a lot more hannelore. especially together.
-
As much as I like Hannelore, I can't really picture her with anyone until she (a) gets on a medication that actually works for her, so her behaviour is less unpredictable and (b) works through her phobia of kisses and hugs. Although many guys would be understanding and patient about the "Sex is for no" thing, I can't see anyone wanting to date her for long without even being able to kiss and cuddle, unless she were an Orthodox Jew or Muslim (they can't touch members of the opposite sex to whom they aren't married). Sorry, Hanners + {Steve/Marten/Winslow in Android Chassis} shippers.

*Lowers HANNELORE AND WINSLOW-MAN pennant and walks away dejectedly.*
Awwwww.....
-
If it's any consolation, Norton, there's a touching FanFiction.Net (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3942458/1/CoinOperated_Boy) story which is the next best thing.
-
Wow. I didn't even know QC fanfiction existed.
...And something tells me it's not a world I want to delve much more into. :wink:
-
In case any of you are curious, here's how the Steve+Hanners relationship could develop from the current plot developments.
Dora can't handle it that Marten is so cool about the Sven-Faye thing, because if he isn't even a little bit jealous over Faye (who he was into for like forever), Dora is worried that he'll lose interest in her too. Plus, she's pissed at Svan, and Marten isn't going to take her side.
Meanwhile, Steve stops seeing whoever that girl is that he is currently with, because the thing about the ex being her roommate weirds him out too much.
When Dora and Marten break up, Faye pretty much has a breakdown, and can't handle that sleeping with Sven ruined her friendship with Dora, Dora's relationship with Marten, Dora's relationship with Sven, and her friendship with Marten (which gets ruined because of guilt over ruining his relationship with Dora). Faye decides she can't live with Marten any more, and moves out.
Steve decides to move in, and, since Marten is being hella mopey about things, Hannelore can't rely on Marten as someone to hang out with. She and steve start talking, more and more.
Eventually, during a late night chat between the two of them... you all know where this is going.
But instead of flipping out, Hannelore is oddly comfortable with kissing Steve. It's not like she's a hundred percent better (who would want Hannelore without any of her eccentricities?) but with Steve she is able to keep the uber-crazies under control (i.e. no boiling water on face after kissing).
I guess at this point, the strip would pretty much just be about Hannelore and Steve, but I can't imagine anyone having a problem with that!
-
I think when she hugged Castro'd Pintsize, and figured out where he really got the beard, it may kill off any chance of Steve/hanners.
-
As much as I like Hannelore, I can't really picture her with anyone
I agree with this statement 100%
Plus, I like Steve+Meena.
-
I, for one, would find this subplot to be hilarious if Jeph decides to delve into it, even if only temporarily.
We need more enjoyable random humour!
-
Um, no.
No enjoyable random humor until some of the more pressing story questions are resolved. Otherwise it's very hard to enjoy the "enjoyable" humor when you are stressed out from all the major drama points still left hanging. :x
I need to see Sven's reaction, Raven's reaction, and the source of Dona's issues before I can give even half a crap about Steve.
-
Well, I wasn't talking about right now, I was referring to in the general future. I mean, once all this crap is sorted out, wouldn't it be hilarious if Steve and Hannelore hooked up? Even if for a few comics?
-
Anyone else wondering how the boy got on the space station? :laugh:
-
What boy?
-
I presume Jb is referring to the boy who kissed Hanners in eighth grade, sending her into a self-scalding frenzy.
However. While Hanners was raised on a space station, unless I've forgotten it's never said how long she was raised there. Presumably by eighth grade she was living in what passes for normal human society in the QC universe.
-
Presumably her father is still somewhat social. There might be other space stations up there. Maybe they have Space Balls. You know, for the debutantes.
-
HOLY CRAP! ITS HAPPENING!!!! (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1100)
Called it!
-
*Lowers HANNELORE AND WINSLOW-MAN pennant and walks away dejectedly.*
Awwwww.....
That'd be cute.
I'm admittedly a guy who loves me some romantic pairings.
Though, I'd rather see Steve with Penelope, which has a lot more of a base to work with.
-
I like Meena. Hopefully, we'll see more of her. If they do break up, Penelope would be a more likely pairing. And if Hennelore was going to be with anyone in the current cast, Marten is the clear favourite. Though Hanners would be living in fear of Dora.
Mind you, it's all at the whim of Jeph. She could have an affair with Mr Biachi if he so chooses. :laugh:
I always thought there could be a minor plot where we find out Winslow is madly in love with his owner, and was crushed that she didn't like the robo-boyfriend body. No shipping there, just doomed unrequited love.
-
Yeah, I suppose some of those are ok alternatives to a plotline where hanners and steve get together.
but I mean, obviously, they are all in second place to steve and hanners falling in true love.
who is meena?
-
Meena is the Mortician girl...with the roommate that is her ex...
I'm to lazy to find the comics for you, I'm sorry.
-
oh, her name is meena?
I thought her name was "standing in the way of steve and hannelore's true love"
-
...You're a strange one. Just wanted to let you know that.
-
If it's any consolation, Norton, there's a touching FanFiction.Net (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3942458/1/CoinOperated_Boy) story which is the next best thing.
That is truly frightening.

What, fanfic?
I agree. Fanfic is fucking disturbing.
-
Whatever. I didn't write it. :roll:
And stevelore...yeah, we get your point, made in multiple threads. In fact, we all got it just from your username.
Don't be that guy. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SingleIssueWonk)

I just thought I'd share: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=704
I have an odd memory for robot-centric comics. I think it is because Winslow is possibly the cutest thing ever drawn.
-

Yes. Yes it is. I don't think that could have been any creepier unless they had actually gone all the way in that story.
As for Steve + Hannelore: no. No way. They are so incredibly different it would just be impossible, not to mention Steve having a girlfriend and Hann having been set up from her introduction to be the character that won't be having any surprise hookups.
-
I will laugh disappointedly if Dora and Marten breakup because of this. It makes me wonder how many relationships the people who predict this have been in. Arguments like that are nothing. But whatever, I really don't care too much what happens as long is it still keeps me entertained.
-

In today's strip, Steve said he was having girl problems, which might mean that he and meena are splits.
Second: hvae you ever heard of the expression that opposites attract?
Steve and Hanners are very different from each other, but that's why they are perfect for each other.
-
...You're a strange one. Just wanted to let you know that.
Thanks!

Don't be that guy. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SingleIssueWonk)
I think its too early for you to say that I'm going to be a single issue whatever thing. I mean, sure, I'm really excited about the idea of a steve/hannelore pairing, and that's why I chose the username I did, and that's why I made the first bunch of posts that I did.
The only reason I've posted about it more than the one group that I started with is because right after I made all my initial posts is when Steve came back into the comic after a long hiatus, and he is going out for drinks with Marten and Hannelore, and so how could I not be excited?
-
Okay. So you're not a Single-Issue Wonk.
However, the word that begins with "t" and rhymes with "roll" comes to mind.
-
He's going to ask us to pay?
-
I agree, Stevelore's posts are taking a toll.
What he apparently hasn't noticed is that in today's strip, Marten says that he and Hannelore are going out. I don't think Steve would try to get between the two of them.
-
I'm just impressed that "Martelore" has come into existence so quickly. You a good avatar pic to take on your foe. I suspect you are a straw man for another interest... :wink:
(If not, welcome. If so, nice move.)
But stevelore, I welcome you too! Follow your dream of Hannelore-Steve love! Just don't go too (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShipToShipCombat) crazy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Fanwank) with it. The Artist is already freaked out by the weirdness attached to his comic and tries to ignore it.
I wonder if this is going to be a trend. How long before we see "Meenalope" registered?
-
I'm personally holding out for "Natellen" myself.
Barely! Legal! Co-eds!!! :-o :-o :-o
-
That's a change in direction for the comic...
-
Okay. So you're not a Single-Issue Wonk.

if I were a troll, wouldn't I have to be, well, trolling?
I mean, hypothetically, if I weren't genuinely a steve+hannelore shipper, and I were just pretending, how would that even be trolling? Maybe if I were like, Marten+Raven, that would work, since it would get people all riled about marten having to break up with Dora, and also not be dating Faye or whatever, but even then, it'd be a pretty lame troll.
It'd be weird to be pretending, I grant you, but it wouldn't really be trolling.
All of that, is of course, beside the point, as I am not pretending, and really am hoping for the Steve+Hanners hook-up.
I will, for the most part, try to keep the blatant ship-posting confined to say, this thread, where it is pretty uncontroversially on topic.
And I'll make sure to share my thoughts on non Steve+Hanners related matters as well.
-

More like Na-Tai-len, am I right?
-
Stop double posting, please. Put everything you need to say in one post, modify if you think of something else, and then don't post again until at least one more person has posted after you.
-
Isn't double posting when you accidentally post the same thing twice? Or did Stevelore do that and then delete it?
-
Just posting repeatedly in a row is considered bad forum etiquette. Especially since we have the nifty modify button at our disposals.
-
Man, poor stevelore's getting a beatdown here. And all he wanted was to spread a beautiful vision of a woman who can't be hugged for anxiety issues and a man who shaves his junk when drunk. :lol:
Night everybody ('king near 3am here.)
Edit: Oh, and cool picture Martelore. I'm impressed you made it so quickly.
(You see? Ninja modify skill.)
-

And because of Pintsize playing cupid, Hannelore has already snuggled up against Steve's scrotum hair. So we're already more than halfway to Stevelore's dream of a blessèd union. :angel:
-

Thanks! It was pretty straightforward — just took the cast page and the latest comic, and mashed a few bits together.
-
Screw Steve & Hannelore! This is Massachusetts; we need a lesbian couple! Faye and Dora FTW!
-
On reflection, I apologize, stevelore, for insinuating you were here only to cause trouble. That was out of line on my part. I won't hold your shipping against you, given your promise to do so in moderation. :angel:
Me, I tend not to ship anyone (QC or otherwise) with anyone in particular, because for me it's not so much the final destination as it is the journey. That is, as long as Jeph makes the "final" relationships plausible, as I know he will, I won't care whether it's Marten + Dora, Marten + Faye, Steve + Meena, Steve + Ellen, or Pintsize + The Pink Robot That's Actually a Dude.
-
we need a lesbian couple!
...Umm, while I realize that she's more supporting cast, I would like to point out Tai. Rampant lesbianism discussed rather candidly.
(That and Faye/Dora...very implausible)
-

Dora and Tai making out is possible, though, given Dora's bisexual tendencies.
-

Dorai?
Still considering that she doesn't want her brother sleeping with her employees, it would be hypocritical of her to sleep with her boyfriend's employer.
Sexy, but hypocritical. 8-)
-
I think it would be fun if Tai's multiple girlfriends somehow got the idea that Marten or Dora are trying to steal her away from them, and descend on the Coffee of Doom. Marten, Dora, Faye and whoever else is there then have to to untangle the fractal complexity of the Smif college lesbian scene and calm down a coffee shop full of angry girls stewing in angst and drama.
Dorai?
Wasn't that a science fiction series about a super-soldier? Oh, no, that was Dorsai!.
In other news...FAKE! (In the style of fools who leave comments on youtube clips of magic tricks and home videos of people swapping bodies.)
Isn't it a little a suspicious that stevelore appears with a whole new 'ship (Elicott class light cruiser) just before Hanners and Steve go out for the night? It's almost as if s/he had advance warning. Then Martelore appears as a contender to stevelore. Also a bit convenient.
Both are shadows! Jeph or Christi have decided to have fun stirring up the shippers and created straw men to derail the debate!
I know who you are.
-
And behold, Michael Nehora did enquire of the LORD what would be the One True Shipping at the end of days for QC. And the LORD gave unto him the answer:
Jimbo + Hannelore's Roomba.
So let it be shipped. So let it be done. Amen.
-
Now I'm trying to figure out how that even works. That means I must do something else before the madness takes me.

You did it. We know. This warn you.
-
Honestly, if ANYONE could possibly have a relationship with Hannelore, it would be Dave. No question about it, there is no one else in the current cast equipped to date Hannelore. I think Dave/Hanners would actually work pretty well.
-
You're kidding, right? He touches himself. You know, *down there*. She'd have to boil him for 15 minutes before she could be in the same room as him.
But in order to boil him, she'd have to be in the same room as him!
-
He is portrayed as having almost superhuman patience, forebearing and forgiveness, and you'd probably need them to pursue a relationship with someone who almost can't be touched without having a panic attack. So, probably the best person for her.
But, Meena appears a fairly well-adjusted person and her self-esteem cracked compared to him. Imagine if Hannelore was to start thinking she was bringing nothing but problems to the party. She can worry at an Olympic level, and people telling you you're working yourself up about nothing may not get through. There's some big drama.
Oh, and robot strips: Winslow would probably become jealous that he was taking her away and she didn't have so much time for him anymore, so that would be interesting.
-
Jimbo + Hannelore's Roomba.
Jimboomba?
That almost sounds like a good time! :mrgreen:
-
Screw Steve and Hannelore.
*waves his Post-MtoF-Marten/Tai pairing sign*
-
Stevelore. Totally.
Ooh! Can we have Meena date a corpse next? I mean, she works with them already. As far as I'm concerned she's halfway there.
-
That would imply that vets are closet beastiality practictioners...
-
This is Massachusetts; we need a lesbian couple!
Tai+Amanda. 'Nuff said.
Hey, Tai has already shown a penchant for hot younger siblings (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1033) and as far as we know, Amanda's still single.
-
That would imply that vets are closet beastiality practictioners...
They aren't? Shiiit. Been doing my job all sorts of wrong then.
-
I can't see it happening.
Isn't he already dating someone?
-
Ooh, the drama. It's actually a possibility. Not likely, but semi-plausible: Marten is about to go and have a drunken arguement with Dora, or pass out (Steve and Hanners recommend the latter), leaving them together. In the unlikely event of Hannelore pushing her boundaries out to include Steve's close presence, Meena will think it was some kind of preemptive strike on his part, and Hanners will need to deep-clean her apartment to regain mental balance.
So, maybe stevelore was right all along. Of course, since I suspect he* was a plant by Jeph or Christi, it makes sense he would have the inside gossip. As he hasn't posted in four days, I suppose it means they've had their fun. Same goes for Martelore (though he posted on a range of subjects).
On the other hand, it may be that stevelore came out of his shell to share his dream with us, and was roundly abused as a troll, a double-poster, a Single Issue Wonk (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SingleIssueWonk) and a nutcase with an unworkable 'ship. Maybe he was scared away. Maybe he's decided you only get hurt when you communicate. Tch. I hope we're all happy with ourselves. :wink:
* I've assumed stevelore was a "he" on no more basis than appearing to be named Steve Lore. Funny, that.
-
um, why does it matter? at all? really.
this board confuses me so.
-
It doesn't, not in the slightest.
-
It will never happen. I don't mean to rain on your parade, because I also have shippings from other fandoms that are either unlikely/impossible (Harry/Luna to name one most people would get). I just can't see Hanners with anyone. The closest was Winslow in a human chassis, but even then she was incredibly awkward.
I mean, sure, eventually we could have a Chobits arc involving Hanners. But I highly doubt it.
Also, I *do not* see chemistry between Steve and Hannelore. At all. Steve likes teh sex. Hanners like teh clean. End of report.
As much as I like Meena, I don't want her and Steve to be together. I am all for Penelope/Steve. I like Meena lots though, mostly because she's so pretty (I'm shallow... for shame.)
