It's a vague, lazy criticism. I'm more willing to reason with people who can explain their objections.
Claims that a work has "jumped the shark" are very clichéd, and usually say more about the person making the judgement than the work. Referring to a gay relationship as being "injected" and "trying to be edgy" is rather revealing, for example. Jeph is not Rick Santorum, and QC is hardly Leave It To Beaver, so I wonder why someone would think that the creator of the comic, or its audience, would find a gay relationship "edgy". I don't know where the opinion cesariojpn came from, but it sent my homophobia-meter straight into the red.
I mean "lesbo"? Really? :psyduck: Why not call Emily a gook while you're at it?
RUN, Angus!!
Given the quotation marks around cesariojpn's comment, I assume it wasn't his own thoughts.
Faye, why don't you go work on that bonercat coffee machine? May be come back after you have calmed down a bit? Besides I want to see that in operation.
Second panel Dora looks like a plant. :-D
Please say more -- I'm not seeing it yet.
Y'know it wouldnt surprise me if there was a plot twist revealing Faye was part Scottish, what with the whole quick to rage thing, it's reminiscient of my kin, (and myself but im refined so shh!)
The whole end of the date definitely showed the gap between how Tai and Dora proceed with a relationship. Dora isn't even fully committed to the pairing and Tai's brain is so sex-addled that she was automatically on auto-pilot when it came to sealing the deal at her place. This arc is going places, that's for sure. :roll:
You've just reminded me of an exchange in a recent episode of Doctor Who.(click to show/hide)
You know, I'm wondering how many of the strips have featured banter between Dora and Faye (and/or some other combination of the two with another person or persons) at CoD since Dora was introduced? I'm betting on something akin to about 700+ of the strips to date.Of the 867 strips in which Dora appears, Faye is in 588. Of course, not all of these are at CoD, and there are some with them both at CoD but no banter (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1179), so I'd guess it's in the range 400-500.
Faye needs to create a sort of "rage vault" in her mind and store the excess there, for use in emergencies.
It's a vague, lazy criticism. I'm more willing to reason with people who can explain their objections.
"Jeph injected a gay relationship into the storyline cause he knows that the story has gone to shit and is trying to be edgy and progressive. Trying it with Sven and Momo (http://www.questionablecontent.net/1658) wouldn't have that much impact as a Butch Lesbo and a Gothic Bisexual given that would be the ultimate tropes in a porno film."
Happy?
Where do you see the "contrived" coming in? Is it the difference in personalities, or seeing Dora as not ready yet, or something else? 'Cause they've considered each other cute for a long time, and Tai's development into a more mature character could lead her to seek someone more like Dora than like her previous affairs.
Ow, I've been in a similar situation to Dora's. Thirteen years ago, I was on summer break at Belle-Île (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_%C3%8Ele). I met a girl at a fest noz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fest_Noz) (a kind of traditional-ish festival) and we hit it off pretty well... Except I didn't feel really in love. I liked her, a lot, she was fun, smart, attractive. But I wasn't in love and my lukewarm feelings puzzled even myself. I supposed that somehow I wasn't in the proper state of mind to fall in love. And we didn't have much time to try to let my feelings build up. If we had been on the same page, I'd eagerly have considered friendly sex with her. But she was in love with me, the asymmetry of feelings was too great.
Faye needs to create a sort of "rage vault" in her mind and store the excess there, for use in emergencies.
Light-hearted comment: Excess rage is a very serious problem. All that fire, and nothing to incinerate with it!
Serious discussion on storyline: I won't say Jeph "jumped the shark (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JumpingTheShark)," chiefly because shark-jumping is more of a retroactive judgement applied to a franchise that declined before its termination.
However, I will say that I feel this arc feels so contrived that my suspension of disbelief is pounding down vodka doubles to convince itself. As inferred, I don't "believe" it, so I'm left feeling somewhat disappointed as I read the strips. Day in, day out, I'm obliged to observe a pair of characters I wasn't overly attached to in the first place and have not become more fond of as a result of the attention they're getting. I'm also left feeling a bit out of the party, since the QC cast are becoming less relatable every time someone gets a day in the limelight (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ADayInTheLimelight). It seems like every time it happens, they're all revealed to be a basket case of issues, instead of just quirky people. Yeah, we all have issues, but quite a few of us just shrug them off and don't let them impinge our consciousness.
I'm not going to rage quit or anything like that, but I think it's fair to say I'm not impressed with this arc. Marten-Dora break up, Marten-Padma hook-up-and-sink, these things pulled me in and had me racing to read the strips. Space arc was fun, if too bloody long. This.... well, the most it's managed to pull from me is a giant meh a day and a longing for this arc to be over already so we can head on to another, potentially more interesting arc. Just my five cents.
some minor exaggerations were included for effect
I personally think it would have been a bit more believable if you introduce a new girl that Dora just meets on her own and really digs her off the bat and tries a date than mackin' all of a sudden on Tai.
This arc just isn't believable. If this had happened:QuoteI personally think it would have been a bit more believable if you introduce a new girl that Dora just meets on her own and really digs her off the bat and tries a date than mackin' all of a sudden on Tai.
then this whole entire arc would have been more believable and a little bit more enjoyable. However, it's because Tai and Dora have built up this relationship as "sisters/friends" it doesn't feel organic at all. It feels more like Dora going out with her because why the hell not?
I agree on the arc getting a little over drawn and a bit dull.....I blame that on Hanners missing from the strip for far too long.
And Marigold! Where's Marigold!?

I must admit that, though I'm enjoying this arc, that "alternate arc" sounds a hell of a lot more interesting than Dora/Tai.
And whatever will everyone do if Dora and Tai are a long-running couple, if Dora's passion does build after the second and third date and they surpass even Faye and Angus for longevity? :psyduck:
to me, it's totally believable. other folks have posted about real-life situations where person A REALLY likes person B, and person B isn't super into it. that happens. sometimes person B shuts it down so as not to hurt person A. sometimes person B decides to go for it and see what happens. both of those are realistic scenarios!
i think some people are confusing "i don't like this pairing/don't think the characters are handling this well/don't think this will work out" with "this is not a believable way for people to act". people don't always do the "right" thing! sometimes people do stupid shit and other people get hurt. sometimes things look like they are going to crash and burn but then they don't, and hey, it was worth the risk after all! if the characters did everything right in every situation and everything always worked out perfectly, reading a comic about them would be pointless and probably irritating.

I'll say this is a wrong assumption. Everyone knows that love is blind and makes people do stupid things. No one is debating that. What we are debating is whether this pairing even logically makes sense based off past interactions that Tai and Dora have had in the past. There is nothing pointing in the direction of Tai and Dora becoming romantically involved outside of Dora flirting with Tai occasionally and Tai confessing how much she wants to bone Dora and her infatuation with her. I could go on but you all get the point.
Of course, the people who like this current pairing are going to start accusing people of casting doom and gloom because "we don't like it." I don't like it because it makes no sense and feels shoe-horned, not because I have something out for Tai or Dora. :roll:

Agreed. Other than the nut jobs (of which hardly even post here to be relevant anyway) no one hates characters in QC. They all have good points. Some of us don't particularly care for this character or that one as opposed to other.
Tora brought up even if it is long lasting that we'll somehow cast it as bad writing. No.
I don't particularly care for others casting such assumptions about others. Those of us who just don't see this or how we really got here are just that. Confused as to how we got here based on our interpretations of Jeph's writing. I don't like doom and gloom junk.
I WANT to believe. I just dont' buy something that seems manufactured in its current form.
If you want to know why I see Dora's interactions as sisterly lacking that true and hard sexual and romantic attraction, I'll go at it again. One reason why I need to see it that was is to preserve Dora's own appeal during her relationship with Marten and her interactions with Tai. But I'll refrain unless you really want to know.
I continue to be surprised at all the quite self-assured prophets of doom hovering about Tai and Dora's relationship. Tell me, o sages, did you read this many portents and omens coming off of Marten and Dora, or from Marten and Padma? It's an honest question, or at least the part about Marten and Padma is: I allowed myself to get invested in that relationship (a mistake when reading anything fictional), and may have missed telltale omens of its impending immolation.
The 30% joke is because of her perceived contract with QC, not due to anything else. :-)
The primary reason why this doesn't "seem right" is because we have never seen Dora on this end of a relationship - the pursued instead of the pursuer. What really didn't help was that Tai's decision to go talk to Dora was made very suddenly, and after very little forethought.
The arc before all this was Marten training the interns while she was sitting back, getting high and watching Adventure Time, for cryin' out loud. The only time it suddenly became Dora-focused was when she ended up back at Faye and Marten's place, and Dora came over. No buildup, save a little soliloquy from her in 2214 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2214).
I think that if, in Tai and Marten's ensuing conversations, Tai would have been a little more revealing towards Marten about her desire to want to settle in to a monogamous relationship, it would have made a bit more sense.
However, she was a little bit over-hung after she made the decision - so it might be the wine talking. Which makes us all see this relationship as what happened to Marten and Vicki. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=255) ("Life-altering decisions should never be made while drunk, dummy")

But with Tai and Dora...I don't think I've ever seen this many people proselytizing that a relationship is doomed in QC forum history. Does this just come from personal dislike of the relationship, or is this just expectation of relationship failure based on Jeph's prior expertise in crafting flawed relationships?
it doesn't feel organic at all. It feels more like Dora going out with her because why the hell not?

Unfortunately or is that fortunately? ..... The opposite corollary is true.
The level of stupidity and ignorance in college freshmen has remained rather consistent with the hurdles presented with college applications.
The truth of the matter is that even though you the observer is not able to discern it, but you have changed quite markedly from what you were when you were a freshman.
More knowledgeable, better read and informed, more used to working in smaller groups or alone.
So it is your personal benchmarks that have changed and not the perceived changes in the younger generation.

My last couple years at The Place of Brain Suck featured the usual crop of young'uns, about half of whom were talented and gave a damn.

Red Tank Top Student stood out for some reason. I truly don't know why -- it must be one of the mysteries of cartooning why some characters look more interesting and real than others.
So far everything that's actually happened between Tai and Dora (Tai infatuated, Tai impulsive, Dora confused) follows from long-rooted foreshadowing and characterization.

I didn't even think of that...
That is a strange transition. Getting high and watching adventure time to trying to get with the gal in therapy over relationship issues. If you take it that way, then it backs up many of ours point in their being no direct build up.
With Marten/Dora you had tension almost the entire time until they get together. You could really tell how obvious that one was going to be. Not so with Tai/Dora. Maybe another factor is that Dora was so sure of wanting Marten (and that's the only thing we have to go on) it seems off.
I mean. Look at this way. Would Dora seriously consider Tai in a relationship proactively? I mean, Tai wasn't even on her radar (outside of Tai bringing up a one night stand) until Tai come hard and heavy and had Dora reeling from the lavish attention and I think her innate and powerful desire to be pursued.
I thought maybe it was a very light fanny pat, hopefully between friends.
You're right, and I'd forgotten. I raised eyebrows in early March when I described a favorite mug from 25 years ago, inscribed "Love is a passing fanny."I thought maybe it was a very light fanny pat, hopefully between friends.
It took me a while to realise what you meant, then remembered that 'fanny' would probably get less of an embarrassed silence around the table wherever you are than it would in the UK.

As for today's current strip, Annette is rapidly becoming one of my favorite newer cast members added to the comic. Hope to see more of her! :-DWow, you're fast, given that it's the first time she appears in the comic and said only three words.
Maybe there are lingering traces of the cultural idea of addressing teachers with "respect language"?"Miss Gabby" sounds strange, like a servant addressing the daughter of the house, but possibly it is an awkward compromise between the <title><surname> (or <surname><title> where I come from) traditional between student and teacher, and the "Call me Gabby" that Gabby-the-TA probably insisted upon.
Would someone please explain why RTTG is wearing her pajama bottoms to class??!!

Is that weird? At my first college, people wore PJ bottoms to class fairly often (including me). Also to be fair, we don't know that they're going to class.I thought maybe it was a very light fanny pat, hopefully between friends.
It kinda looks like the girls might've been holding hands before Gabby spoke to one of them.
Sorry, what does ""I TA them", mean? I've not heard that phrase before.TA in this usage, if I understand correctly, is a transitive verb made out of the phrase "teaching assistant," similar to "ship" and "shipping," in forum usage a transitive verb from "relationship."

You misinterpreted what I meant. I meant it feels like Dora was put with Tai just because, not because I believe real life isn't like that. Hope that clarified.
I can't tell if you're being serious or using a parallel poorly, but Marten and Faye were never together....not even close.
I can't tell if you're being serious or using a parallel poorly, but Marten and Faye were never together....not even close.
My interpretation of Shjade's post is that the common factor in both relationships is that, prior to each relationship starting, the initiator in each case was unable to make a move because the object of their affections was interested in someone else at the time (even though in one case the relationship never actually got started).
But their interest was obvious to the reader each time, even though they could not immediately act on it.
I knew it, but I didn't want to post lest I jinx it.

Angry sex is never best sex.Nah, this wasn't angry sex. Angry sex is what she had with Sven, I'm sure, at times. She's not angry AT Angus, so it's not really angry sex per se. Besides, it's not she's really mad at anyone, she's just got some pent-up energy to work off. It's like when people go work out or run or go cycling when they need to "work off' whatever they're feeling. Catharsis through physical exertion is the name of the game - and sex is a great way to make it happen.
Angry sex is never best sex.Rage sex in this case, I believe.

I personally think it would have been a bit more believable if you introduce a new girl that Dora just meets on her own and really digs her off the bat and tries a date than mackin' all of a sudden on Tai.
I just had one of those random flashbacks from the past: Anyone remember Amanda Whitaker? (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=167) While that obviously didn't go anywhere besides hinting at Faye's past, I wonder if we'll ever see her again. (So how about this Kerry guy's chances in November?)I remember her, and I think I may have once thought of her as a possible pairing with Tai. But no. Just no.

Depending on the school district's rules, it is possible to graduate high school and begin college at 17 without skipping a grade. In the school district I went to the rule for starting kindergarten was you had to turn 5 by December 31. My birthday is in December, which means I began kindergarten when I was 4, and so I graduated high school when I was 17. I turned 18 in December of my first year in college.

[...] I don't quite get Momo's reaction.I interpret it as: Momo has been in the room, probably connected in order to regenerate her batteries - but was shut off completely on a timer - thus she wouldnt know anything that happened during this time, but objects if Marigold masturbated during it.
The concernbrag, the humblebrag's douchey best friend that pretends to have your interests at heart.Yeah... Pretty much. Somethings are better passed over in silence. Nobody really wants to hear how awesome your sex-life is.
Marigold treats Momo like she treats everyone.
i suppose it could be a sign of character development; that she's become more confident & less prone to embarrassment in front of her friends.While this comic was funny, it seemed rather...OOC for Marigold.Hmm ?

for clarity: those are Homestuck references, because Marigold is wearing a Homestuck shirt
specifically, the shirt references this charming young fellow (http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Karkat_Vantas))

Actually, that's the zodiac symbol for Cancer, the crab. Both my brother, and ironically my daughter - the one who was struck by cancer - are July babies.
Since the homestuck guy is also clearly cancer-related, it makes sense, but ... it's more general than that!
..... yeah, I'm a huge fucking nerd, fight me ._.
You know logically it's going on, but you really (really, really) don't want to know).What? No I don't, I just logically know it has happened twice. That's it. EVER. :-\

This is the same girl who is obsessed with yaoi. I doubt she would be so reserved about sexual type things especially when it's a guarantee she looks at hentai and yaoi on a daily basis.
I'm not sure if the others should conspire to bring Francis down for a visit or not.The most credible strategy would be maneuvering to have him invited as a guest lecturer (or whatever it's called in academia) in advanced theoretical physics at Smif. I think Station has the connections to achieve that, if Hanners asked him.
Can't say I am surprised by the MOTW poll. Only an adawwwable Hanners moment could be a more predictable win. Like it or lump it. Or rather, like it or shlup shlup shlup it.
Like it or hump it?

Or?
(Broker. I think Momo's chassis is already putting her on a ramen regimen for some time.)
