I recognize this set-up, the messy room, unkempt hair, knack for technology...
Marigold is a gamer. Definitely.
-
Well duh - "I told you I have a RAID--"
I'm pretty sure she didn't mean the kind of RAID you use to back up data.
-
or insect killer...
-
Why was Raid capitalized?
-
Possibly because she increased her volume to emphasize how important the raid was.
However, wasn't her PC away from home at the time?

Her Anthro-PC was. I bet she's got a sweet gaming system sitting in her room.
-
System? She probably multi-multiboxes.

If not multiples. Yes, she has a completely different setup for gaming. This is good.

Orrr she could be a /b/tard.
We they go on raids, trolling websites and such.

Ok I'm mildly freaked out here. I think Jeph took me, changed my name for privacy, and added the glasses I've always wanted. I love computers, I raid in EQ2 and have tried numerous other MMOs, I'm a slob, I love Yaoi, I used to watch Inuyasha, and Pocky is the food of gods. I hope this one is at least semi permanent. She looks pretty hot to go lesbian with. She needs bigger boobs if she's supposed to be me, though. *drifts off into hawtt lesbo-dreams*
-
You can see the monitor and desk in the back of panels 3 and 4. And yes if she's really into technology she more than likely has multiple computers.
-
The two aren't necessarily related though.
-
I find it disturbing that so many people on this forum have a reaction akin to "That could have been me." in terms of lifestyle, interests, and appearance, the latter especially.
-
That's pretty much exactly like my entire HOUSE at uni. Until the damn inspector made us CLEAN it >_>
-
she kind of reminds me of Envy in Full Metal Alchemist. Similar conical splay-hair, same semi-ambiguous gender.
wonder if she turns into a dragon when pissed off.

You's one uh them clean city folk then, aren't cha? I's seen yer type a few times back in '87. Didn't care fer ya none. You's a long way from home though...you'd best be messin' up yer room and doin' some gamin' there, got it?

I have more posts than you, thus I'm clearly the dominant male. Be gone! :evil:
Now I'll be off to go loudly rustle some tree branches, so as to assert said dominance.
-
Haha, sorry but I already found a gamer guy to marry.
-
I can't be the only one to notice the mention of Angus. They are probably housemates or something.
Also, i reject the blanket term of 'gamer'. I'm a PC Gamer. my room is delightfully tidy :-P
-
damn it, why are all the best girls lesbian, married, or both? (by the way I'm in Canadistan and FUCK CALIFORNIA)

Much to learn, you still have.

Nah, i have a paranoria about clutter and mess. I don't have OCD since my room isn't ordered. it's just not messy.
-

What does that say about us straight single girls?

fucking rare or they're uninterested

you're uninterested. ya that sounds about right I guess.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who noticed how she mentioned Angus.
-
It's the second word in the sentence. How would you not be able to see it?
-
I highly doubt they are siblings. their noses are way too different.

Silly! Yaoi fangirls don't want dominant males! Uke is about right.

Does she live in the same building as Marten? Hannelore must never know.

You should clean up your room. Rats = A bad sign.
-
No rats. I wish I could find a way to attract ducks though. Ducks are the uberest. And yeah he may be right, I'm bisexual as well as taken...
-
Annnnddd, I think any value towards this topic that could be extracted from having a bunch of people textually lust over you has been eliminated. To things that matter:
Marigold herself - She's a kind of interesting character, but I can't see her ever having as big of a role as most of the others. Not only would most characters probably find her surly and unpleasant, but most content that could be extracted from her would be video game references, and this is a (vaguely) music-based comic.
Although Jeph stating several times how interesting he finds her, as well as her apparent relation to Angus could be interesting. We'll see, I suppose.
-
There is precedent for the cast establishing good continuing relationships with a surly unpleasant person.
Also the possibility is open that Marigold was just in a bad mood.
-
Does she live in the same building as Marten? Hannelore must never know.
According to Pintsize she lives down the block. Still would never let Hannelore know for everyone's safety lol.
Also, after reading today's update, I realized that if my best friend and I ever had a love child, she would be it........It scares the living fuck out of me.
-
Orrr she could be a /b/tard. We they go on raids, trolling websites and such.
After the new strip, I'm almost certain this is also true.
There is a 4chan poster on her wall, and she downloads hentai off of pintsize.
Has jeph decided to go where no webcomic has gone before and make a stab at depicting 4chan's user base?
-
I wouldn't be surprised if she's a Slashdotter.

Girls on 4chan? Hahahahahahahahahahahah
In all seriousness, she reminds me more of a /v/irgin than a /b/tard
-
RULES 1 AND 2!
-
Rules 1 and 2 only apply to raids, smart one.
Girls on 4chan? Hahahahahahahahahahahah
It's moar common than you think, even though it does violate rule 6. I'm a girl, and I go on 4chan. Strange but true.

Here, have an empty pizza box, on the house.
I have no doubt that when I'm moving out, my future room will be about as tidy as that, and the personal hygiene can also be improved on, but that's probably as far as the likeness goes with the typical gamer/student.
-
I know there are girls on 4chan. but there aren't many, so it couldn't be considered a average userbase. although the whole 'messy weeaboo hentai-obsessed nerd' thing does apply pretty well to the denizens of /b/
-
despite the different nose, I still think she must be Angus' sister. OR... she could be the ex-girlfriend he was telling Faye about... nah
-
Well I had to register to talk about Marigold. I've been following QC since 2004, religiously and I had the urge to come say that Marigold might be an stereotype (exaggerated version) of myself (and it seems many others).
I'm past the acne phase (never really had one, am 30 years old now), my house is not messy (I'm a married lawyer) and I'm perfectly normal and sociable, except, like Marigold there, I'm a gamer (been playing WoW for 2 years, although am cutting back now 'cus I bought Oblivion for my PS3 and 'cus The Sims 3 is coming out soon) and a total Otaku, I watch anime and read manga pretty much everyday, am always following something.
So my inner self is a Marigold I guess. All I mean by all that is that she's awesome.
-
With a name like ladylethal I would have thought you were a fan of tortura.
-
Jeph said: dang I am having fun drawing Marigold.
Love her!
-
Another female on the rouster? Jeph is worse then Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams combined.
-
Another female on the roaster?
We don't want to hear about your cannibalistic barbecues. :-P
-
Another female on the roaster? Jeph is worse then Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams combined.
Wait, J.J. Abrams?
-
Wait, J.J. Abrams?
Alias had a strong female lead, and many strong female supporting character's, Lost has Kate, Juliet, Sun, Penny, Ana-Lucia and those are just the character's I can come up with off the top of my head! And then Fringe has Olivia Dunham. J.J. is just as addicted to hordes of women has Joss is.
-
So he likes strong women? I thought that was a good thing.
-
No no no! Its a great thing, I have the same problem with my stories, and I love everything Joss and J.J. have done (fantasizes about a team up effort between the two). I'm just saying that Jeph has it worse then they do with the out of wack Female to Male ratio.
-
SHE IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER I LOVER SO MUCH AND SHE SHOULD HOOK UP WITH TAI
-
With a name like ladylethal I would have thought you were a fan of tortura.
Ladylethal came 'cus of LadyDeathstrike from the Wolverine comics, she's named Ladylethal in Brazil (which is where I am from). It's been my nick on forums since I was 15.

You're awesome. Lady Deathstrke is one of the best characters in X-men.

Lost has about a bajillion characters. It's hardly surprising that there's a lot of women. There's also a lot of men.
-
Oh for crying out loud! A guy makes a simple off-hand statement and it derails a whole topic! If you don't like my personal observations on J.J. Abrams and his large stable of female character's, fine, but can we please return to the topic at hand?
So its happened, Dora has gone and done the inevitable by dragging two opposites together. Only one outcome is possible... The complete destruction of the UNIVERSE!
-
I bet Hanners will have tons of fun cleaning Marigold's place. :laugh:
-

And the point was, it's not. Given the number of male characters any one of us could name in Lost, it's only a large number of female characters in comparison to shows that (due to sexist writer) have dozens of guys and one or two Chick (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheChick)s, or in comparison to shows that actually have a small cast in total.
-
I have been reading QC and lurking around the forums for a while now, but have come out of my hiding spot to say that I hate Marigold. Well hate is strong, but strong dislike is definitely there. Maybe she will grow on me, but we shall see. As soon as I saw her my immediate reaction was "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU." I have been studying Japanese for 4 years, and my classes are always mostly filled with people like her. Not as fun as it looks :/
But on that note this is the first character that I have really not liked. Sure Dora/Marten drama bothers me every once and a while, but over all I enjoy everything Jeph has done.
-
I'm making no judgments yet. She seems grumpy and gross, but I think QC needs a character like that to feel the vacuum that Natasha left.
-
Once Hanners gets a scouting report on the mess from her pc. She'll come packing the latest HALO full body sealed environmental armor and a flamer.
Woe to anyone and any dirt that gets in her way...
To be sure she's likely to do this as she'll get to see hot sweaty cute firemen, neh?
-
I'm making no judgments yet. She seems grumpy and gross, but I think QC needs a character like that to feel the vacuum that Natasha left.
Agreed. Things have been getting a bit too clean around here.
-
Marigold makes me not feel so bad about my lack of room orderliness.
-
I think Marigold's gonna be that volatile element to the mix that's gonna stir things up to a fair-thee-well in the next few weeks
Either that, or this is her fifteen minutes.
:D
-
Hanners is taking this seriously. She's the Germinator!
-
i bet marigold has really crazy '70s bush.
-
i bet marigold has really crazy '70s bush.
YOU KILLED MY FANTASIES!
-
i bet marigold has really crazy '70s bush.
naw dogg, she's got it all shaved off, like the hentai girls.
-
i bet marigold has really crazy '70s bush.

And kicked mine off. All is equal again.
-

Mmm, shaved hentai catgirls, relevant to Our* interests...
*Our as in belonging to 4chan
-
You know, one of Hanners's dating problems with OCD is getting close enough to really know someone. How better to learn about someone than by turning their life and domecile upside down. I'm wondering if this might finally be the push she needs to form an actual emotional connection with someone... and to discover lesbianism. Marigold could be her new project. And she looks like she could swing both ways.
-
Wow, lots of Yuri fans in this house. And I thought I was alone on that front.
I don't know that I like the idea of Hanners hooking up with someone, I kinda prefer her as the crazy OCD girl that the rest of the gang plays surrogate too.
-
The cast seems to respect Hanners's problems. Instead of trying to fix her up with someone, they've been warning people off. Faye told Sven "off-limits", Marten told Tai to lay off.
-
True
But I think if Hanners were to show some overt interest in someone, there's no doubt the gang would get behind her and egg her on.
And Marigold - well, the possibility is there depending on how Jeph wants this to go. A bit of Yuri in this comic might be good. After all, so far the only Lesbian character we've seen in QC World is Faye's sister, and she made only a guest appearance.
-
Tai.
-
*Smacks head*
Considering my Penchant for HanTai you'd think I'd remember! :roll: :roll: :roll:
-
Does anybody else feel a bit bad for Marigold at the moment?
She fixes Pintsize back up and gets treated to a demeaning lecture by Hannelore - of course after her room is cleaned, but still.
-
Yeah, Hanners kinda pissed me off there, all yelling at Marigold and barking orders at her. Having lived in what can basically only be called "filth", I've gotta say that having some overbearing person confront me about it would not have helped.
In fact, it happened, and didn't help. It pissed me off.
Marigold didn't ask anyone to clean her apartment. She said she wanted payment for helping Marten, not to have her stuff poked at by strangers, and condescending lectures from same.
-
Well, it's still not good to live in filth, no matter what.
But if you fixed up my AnthroPC I'd wait till another time and gently/wisely bring it up in a smarter context/manner as opposed to making it a rude, inappropriate return gesture.
-
Exactly. I mean, there's such a thing as basic courtesy. Rummaging through a person's home and insulting them, even with the best of intentions, isn't it.
You can't force a person to change. All you can do is offer to help, if they want it. A person has to want to change.
I don't know what's going to happen in the strip, but if this happened to someone like Marigold in real life (i.e., if it happened to me), the place would just be a mess again soon. Maybe just out of spite; I don't know about Marigold, but I'm a pretty contrary person. Push me one direction, and I'll change course even if I was headed that way to begin with.
-
Yeah, Hanners kinda pissed me off there, all yelling at Marigold and barking orders at her.
Hanners' software is buggy remember. Expecting normal social interaction from an OCD-sufferer who's just had all her mess/dirt/disorder triggers pulled would be pretty unreasonable, if we were making real-world judgements of cartoon characters...
-
The reason humans can plan ahead is our ability to make judgments about non-factual situations. Those situations could be our possible future actions, or they could be the actions of a non-existent person. Passing judgment on the behavior of a cartoon character is totally human.
Hannelore's problem right now is that she's her mother's daughter.
-
*note* This was also posted in the WCT thread, but I thought it belonged here too.
Actually, I feel very sorry for Marigold. She is not lazy, as Hannelore puts it - she is simply a hoarder, and needs more help than these three can provide.
— Hoarding is a mental health issue and is not due to laziness, personality flaws, or stubbornness.
— Hoarding and saving symptoms are part of a discrete clinical syndrome that also includes indecisiveness, perfectionism, procrastination, difficulty in organizing tasks, and avoidance.
— Compulsive hoarding has been linked with OCD, ADHD, depression, and social phobia, however, evidence suggests it is a separate disorder.
— Compulsive hoarding is treatable. Cleaning up the hoarder’s house (without their permission or involvement) is not treatment, as the hoarding behavior will continue.
It's just interesting that these comics come up now, because I've been looking into exactly this to try to help myself. I'm not as bad as she is (I take out my trash on a regular basis and never have any pests), but I understand exactly how it goes. She says she's absent-minded - that definitely comes with the territory, I'm the most absent-minded person I know. I've had friends try to help, but it's difficult to just have someone go through all your things and indiscriminately decide what is valuable and what is not. And for the stuff you want to keep, you don't want them to just put it somewhere - you want to be the one to decide where the perfect place for it is. And even if someone does help you clean the place, the hoarding behavior hasn't been addressed, so before you can say Jiminy Cricket, it's a big mess all over again. I wouldn't be surprised if it were a mess when Hannelore comes back. In fact, it would make sense.
Also, Marigold's comment of "it was vintage!" - very much a hoarder's mentality. Excessive sentimental value is attached to almost everything you own, which is one of the reasons that nothing is gotten rid of.
I feel for her because there the shame she feels in today's comic is real, and it's difficult to deal with. You don't invite people over to your apartment because you're embarrassed. It gets in the way of your everyday life, it's hard to establish a daily routine, and sleep patterns are out of whack. You don't want to talk about it, and being berated over it just makes the self-loathing worse. No matter how you try, you can't seem to make a dent, and that just makes you feel worse about yourself, and the cycle continues. Sometimes you just stop trying altogether, and if depression sets in, then you just don't feel like even putting in the effort.
Over time, you just get used to it, and even though it makes you feel bad about yourself, makes you think you're lazy (even though you're not), it's just easier to ignore it and tell yourself, "That's just the way I am. I shouldn't have to apologize for who I am!" In reality though, deep down you know you'll feel much better about yourself when you get things under control. But the answers are neither easy nor swift, and take commitment - a level of commitment I hope to find one day.
*whew*
Anyways, I guess now you guys know more about me than you cared to. But you know a little more about Marigold, too, so maybe that's a plus. If you have any more questions about the issue (with regards to Marigold, of course, not me), feel free to ask.
-
No, she's lazy. She doesn't have a mental disorder, she just doesn't notice what her environment looks like.
On the flipside of your sharing, this is me exactly. "I'll just put this down for a second while I go over here and then I'll come back and put it in the sink. Oh look, shiny! *is distracted*" It takes me running out of cutlery to do the dishes, etc, because I don't really look around my flat and think, "wow, what a mess".
-
Sounds like how my sons clean up after themselves....
-
Yeah, Hanners kinda pissed me off there, all yelling at Marigold and barking orders at her.
no offense, but holy crap she sorta turned me ON. anyone else suddenly seeing dominatrix potential in hanners?? maybe she can get training from marten's mom...
-
Now there's an interesting image - both Dominatrix Mistress Hannelore and her going to Marten's mom for her training.
Would Dora benefit from such training or do you think she already knows? :D ;)
-
No, she's lazy. She doesn't have a mental disorder, she just doesn't notice what her environment looks like.

I think you're wrong. But hey, no one said everyone had to agree.
'this is me exactly' - I have shown you a possible future. Just FYI.
-

This sounds more reasonable to me as well, mostly because I've been in that state for most of my life. I have my messy room and I've got a nice plan for cleaning it up, then I get tired or distracted and end up not getting anything done, and then I've got another few dirty kleenexes on the floor that I had meant to throw away but forgot about in the time between the thought of "this needs to be thrown away" and actually getting up to do something else, and then a week passes after I first intended to clean everything up and it's about the same, if not worse, than it was before. The only thing that can keep me from doing this is if I have enough space for storage (which is only the case about half the time, if that) or if my room is in pretty good shape to begin with. Getting distracted is a huge part of it.
Of course, in my case it actually is a mental disorder, seeing as I've got ADHD and an anxiety disorder, but it's not necessarily hoarding. For me it was just getting distracted and not having a trash can nearby or having places to put stuff/organize it. I'm better now than I was, though, mostly because I've gotten into better routines over the years and I know how to organize things in the best way possible for me. I think Marigold might just be one of those people who forgets about the stuff that doesn't interest her and doesn't do anything about it for a long time. And yes, I have forgotten to throw stuff away for months at a time.
Also, the 'vintage' pocky box struck me more as an excuse than anything else. I mean, if someone was in my face about something like that, I'd probably try to justify it just so they'd leave me alone.
PS to whoever said her room would just be in the same state after a couple weeks, it's actually a lot easier to keep a clean room clean than it is to clean a dirty room. At least if it's a case like the one described above where getting distracted/forgetful is the main issue. I also know this from experience.
-
Yeah, she's definitely showing some signs of hoarding.
- Generally leaving things where you finish using them (look at all the bowls with flies around them), though this could just be chalked up to laziness.
- Saving things that are clearly trash (for example the empty boxes in 1413 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1413))
- Extreme anxiety over throwing trash away (1417 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1417))
- Stressing that nobody touches her stuff (also 1413 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1413))
- Making excuses for keeping things (the "vintage" 10 year old pocky, though I didn't know sawdust went stale :P)
But oddly enough, from what we've seen of the living room, the rest of the apartment is clean. She must have a roommate we haven't seen yet.
Problems like this are sad, really. I have a friend who's a hoarder, and he completely flipped out at me for dumping a half-empty 1 gallon bottle of milk down the sink and throwing it away. (Mind you this was 3 days after its expiration date, and it was room temperature so it had been sitting out for a while.)
-

HOLY SHIT! me too!

Dominatrix Hanners is hot!

WASH THAT WALL BETTER! *whips*
yes mistress *scrubs*

Yeah, that's basically what I'm talking about, as I totally relate to everything you said. I mean, I don't specifically consider myself a hoarder per se, (though I do think I have an undiagnosed disorder, not to mention my anxiety issues), and she may not be either, but I think it's something more than just 'being lazy.' I usually find that people who say 'it's just being lazy' don't understand that there's the possibility that it's more than that. It's understandable, as it may be hard to relate if you haven't had that experience in your life, but being open-minded to the possibility would certainly be helpful.
