Well... Comic.
Looks like Bubbles didn't stop her...
When Marten finds out, he's going to have some hard decisions to make. Will he stay in the roommate situation with a relapsing Faye?
I'm looking at the background and, oh hell.
Is Faye about to get hammered in her workplace? Because it's sure not her apartment, unless she and Marten have done extensive redecorating that includes lockers and tanks of gas.
That's going to be bad, if so.

I think it's actually Bubbles' rooms at the arena/rink.

You think Marten should kick her out if she relapses just once? Why not just kick her out now and be done with it?

She's already relapsed once. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2971) This is number two, and done quite deliberately.
When Marten finds out, he's going to have some hard decisions to make. Will he stay in the roommate situation with a relapsing Faye?Yes. I can't see Marten kicking Faye out, or walking out himself, over something like this. I don't think it would be a hard decision for him either.

Odd side bar: what regional accent do you all read Bubbles voice in?
For me it's sort of an even-toned Midwest cosmopolitan accent (think Dallas, Texas or Clevland, Ohio)
Honestly though, does Faye WANT to get fired?
Of all the places to pop a bottle open, she chose to do it on her workplace, where there are AI around that never sleeps and have access to all manners of high tech sensoring equipment?

There were never any consequences like that expressed for falling off the wagon the last time so why should this time be any different?

As patient and understanding as Bubbles is being with Faye, I highly doubt she'd let Faye drink and work. Especially when work involves metal and high temperatures. From the outside, Faye is off the clock and having a drink at a friend's place.
Total abstinence is kind of fucked up and probably leads to people relapsing in alcoholism over and over again
Total abstinence is kind of fucked up and probably leads to people relapsing in alcoholism over and over. ...
Faye relearning how to drink like a normal person is probably a good thing.
Total abstinence is kind of fucked up and probably leads to people relapsing in alcoholism over and over again'Probably' being a key phrase, and 'kinda fucked up' is an opinion. I personally wouldn't exist if my mom hadn't gotten sober a few years before I was born. I can't, of course, say anything about my early years, but she's been sober for at least twenty, both my parents have. My dad went dry, too, just to show support.
Alcoholics by definition can't deal with alcohol like normal people. Alcohol is generally a minefield for those who can't handle it well, and they're really much better off avoiding it entirely. Just like most people are better off staying far away from a literal minefield, leaving it to people with specialized training and equipment. Even for those people, minefields are still dangerous and need to be handled with care.
The difference between addicts and non-addicts is the don't have 'just a drink'. Complete abstinence is often the only way they have to deal with their problem. Because they can never have 'just a drink' to relax, or reward. One becomes two, becomes a bottle, becomes sneaking around and lying about drinking. Because living life while impaired because you are always drunk or hung over and craving.
Odd side bar: what regional accent do you all read Bubbles voice in?
For me it's sort of an even-toned Midwest cosmopolitan accent (think Dallas, Texas or Clevland, Ohio)
To me, most American accents kinda sound alike (except those from the Deep South and perhaps Chicago), but I suppose the accent I imagine her using would be Midwestern. From what I gather, the accent I think of as "typical, usual American" is close to Midwestern, and I imagine most English-speaking characters using it unless there's an indication they might have a strong regional accent. I might be wrong, though. Maybe the accent I'm thinking of is nowhere near the Midwest.
There were never any consequences like that expressed for falling off the wagon the last time so why should this time be any different?
If there are no consequences, then Marten becomes part of Faye's addiction. If Faye is consistently relapsing, then things will get worse and worse. Remember the trip to the hospital? Expect more of that. Also expect Faye to become more and more irresponsible, and for her drinking to have bad effects on those around her, including Marten. Eventually the friendship will be destroyed by her addictive behavior. If he wants to avoid that, the time to put a stop to it is now.
Born and raised in Kansas. It's Mid-Western. Though in some parts it's just "the city folk" that talk like that. Some big cities will still have quite a few residents with a bit of rural drawl, namely Oklahoma City and any big city in Missouri
I understand a distaste for the program. It's not perfect, so few things are. I do NOT understand whatever this campaign is that you're waging against a program that lots of people depend on and use to find help.
[She also tries to not burden him with this, which is why she's at Palkyrie's place.
If Faye "consistently relapses" -- and I will remind you yet again that it's still only been once,And I'll point out again that she's about to have her second relapse. Which she's hiding from Marten by doing it at Bubbles' place.

Side note, draining a bottle of bourbon on your own, in one night, as Faye's history would suggest she's about to do, is anything BUT 'drinking like a normal person.'
I think that Bubbles is not going to get anything done tonight; Faye's mental and emotional state will be too delicate for her to do anything but hug her as she cries.
But have the patients really been "healed" unless they can use alcohol like normal people?
I wonder if we'll find out Bubbles's story.She will tell it when she is damn good and ready and not a moment sooner.

You say that as though you think holding someone while they're crying isn't doing anything important for someone's mental and emotional state?

Mmm. Personally I enjoy certain alcoholic drinks, and I really hate the fact that, if I wanted, for example to spend an evening enjoying a selection of vintage Scotch whiskies, by the 3rd or 4th all discrimination and appreciation of the taste would be gone. Always frustrated me about beer festivals too: there might be 20 or 30 brews I'd rather like to try, but actually it became pointless after four or five.That's pretty fucked up too. People drink to get drunk. Period.One of the hardest ideas to internalize is the concept that not everyone's experiences mirror our own, even when the experiences appear identical.

Faye's putting up a fight (good for her!) and Bubbles is being the perfect friend. In QC, emotionally damaged folks (Hanners, Bubbles) can be terrifichuman beingspeople.
I´m once again amazed how Jeph manages to visualize the inner turmoil and fight Faye goes through.

Also: new faces again. :-o

So yeah. I'm another person who doesn't drink to get drunk (although I used to be, back in my 20s). I'd say that the only reason to drink crappy stuff is to get drunk, but not all alcohol is Budweiser, MD 20/20 and Bacardi.
Faye has lost a home, namely the old Coffee of Doom atmosphere.
I think you may have a point, but I also think that most alcoholics never are 'fully healed'.
By the way, the numbers in the thread title are wrong.
I so want Wednesday's strip to be Bubbles helping Faye get the bottle to her lips.
I mean, she looks like she's having so much trouble doing it on her own....

I can't tell if Faye is trying to stop herself, or if she's trying really hard to take a drink...
Faye's description of what being an addict feels like (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2979) really hit home with me last time.

In those frames I'm seeing Faye coming to the startling inner revelation that what she's about to do won't actually make her feel any better.
Speaking from experience, punching a wall without protection hurts. Like big purple and blue knuckles hurt.
Don't those also hurt like a mofo without protection?Perhaps that's the point of the exercise.
In those frames I'm seeing Faye coming to the startling inner revelation that what she's about to do won't actually make her feel any better.And the even more crushing one that, possibly, nothing will.
This is about more than beating her alcohol addiction. It is about facing demons she has been running away from for a very long time.
Don't those also hurt like a mofo without protection?
Well, it looks like Faye found another way to work out her frustrations :)
Bubbles will need to order more Punching Bags
I'm not cold hearted but to me Faye is just an irritant in an otherwise excellant comic, if she could just sort of go away and only ever be seen occasionally then this comic would be a lot better and more time could be devoted to more interesting characters
The question is: when the pain is gone, what will be left behind?
What makes you think the pain goes away, ever?
You know what would be the classiest possible way to finish this situation?
Marten & Faye apartment, enter Faye holding a whiskey bottle in her hands
Marten: <sniffs>
Faye: Keep this safe for me, I may yet open it again in one day but that day is not today.
<Faye goes to her room saying nothing>

Marten would dump the bottle. They already cleared the rest of the apartment (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2887) of temptations. The last thing an alcoholic needs is a known bottle of booze in his/her living space.

The point is, she needs to beg Marten for it, or snatch it, which would be only worse. She could only reclaim it after some considerable time, while in content state of mind. I see it could work.
it's not like alcoholics would not have lapses. That's how you know you are an alcoholic, when a "lapse" results into a type of drinking pattern it could justifiable be called a lapse.
Maybe so.
This a big pile of misguidedness.

That being said, she is a well-written character -- so much so that she reminds me of real people. Whom I still will not associate with.

Ironically, today's strip is probably the first time I can wholly relate to Faye - beating the everloving dogshit out of a heavy bag because like fuck.

For me its her behaviour towards Marten has always seemed to me to one of a bully and an abuser and while I get that Marten has brought it on himself there were also times when she'd start to bully Claire and all because Faye Had A Traumatic Experience, whereas I'd rather see more stuff like Marten dealing with the issues of dating Claire
Honestly, no QC character has really rubbed me the wrong way.

The bottle looks full, but the colour is off. Did Jeph make a mistake on that one? In any case, if the bottle is still full, that is big. If it is not, it is still big, but not in a good way.
how often has she actually tried to hurt someone (Emotionally or physically) when it wasn't in the defense of one of her friends? Arm punches and snippy jokes don't count.)
That almost looks like Bubbles is going to drink it. I don't know what visions that will give her, or perhaps it's like some essential coolant/fuel like it is with Bender.

That's what I really thought at first. Just as Faye comes to terms with the fact that it won't help with her problems, Bubbles is wondering what it would do for her own...

I get it that she is damaged and all that, but she needs therapy.

This post suggests to me that you've not spent a lot of time around people who are damaged, or if you have that they are people who have dealt with it extremely well. If my father had killed himself in front of me when I was a child I would doing all the drugs to cope with that information. That would cause tremendous psychological damage. People who lash out at others aren't necessarily just assholes. Few actually are at all. They've been through things that have caused them to push others away when they want to accept them. I work with at risk teenagers and I can tell you, I wish even half of them were as pleasant as Faye is as often as she is. Faye is in most senses still a teenager herself. Matter of fact she is mostly lashing out at herself rather than others. Other people are just collateral damage.
To me, in the last panel Bubbles looks like she's thinking "Now what the hell am I supposed to do with this?"
I get that going through traumatic experiences can screw people all the way up, but being damaged is no excuse for lashing out at people, especially with little or no provocation. Many people have no tolerance for that kind of behavior (remember, even Jeph himself has said he wouldn't like a real-life Faye). They find out the person acting like an asshole towards them is damaged, they are likely to just consider them a damaged asshole.
Faye and others like her need extensive and ongoing therapy if they have any hopes of living a normal life.

Maybe if people were treated better originally, there would be less mental health problems, less damaged people, and less of this behaviour. And maybe if there was less of this behaviour there'd be less tragic cases in the world. I'm not saying people have no right to get pissed off at it. I'm just saying that I put up with more of it than others because I've seen how shit like this works and sometimes somebody like Faye just needs one person to not turn away from her. Right now that's Bubbles.QuoteThey find out the person acting like an asshole towards them is damaged, they are likely to just consider them a damaged asshole.
Cool. They can do that. I'll just consider then a damaged person.QuoteFaye and others like her need extensive and ongoing therapy if they have any hopes of living a normal life.
I never said they didn't. I am well in favour of therapy. That said, mental health is still in its dark ages and provision is at an appallingly low level in my neck of the woods, so your average Joe being more understanding would do wonders on a very small scale. Some people's suicide notes say that if only one person had acknowledged them with a smile that day, it would be enough to keep them from the brink.
Faye and others like her need extensive and ongoing therapy if they have any hopes of living a normal life.
To have any hopes of living a normal life they should also move to a different webcomic.

When people keep saying "I understand ... BUT ...," I find it very difficult to take the claim of understanding very seriously.
What is there to say about your main point? You don't like one of the characters. That's your prerogative. You don't have to like her. Nothing I say will change your mind, and I'm not particularly interested in doing so.
Because posters on here seem to be ignoring that and instead focusing on why Faye is the way she is as if that renders my opinion of her invalid.Not invalid so much as, perhaps, uncharitable.
Your opinion is valid.
They disagree with it, and are explaining why. It's part of the deal of hanging around here, I'm afraid.
Like others, I would probably dislike Faye in person. But I find her story interesting to read. There are plenty of stories about people I outright detest, but that doesn't make them bad stories.
If I understand you correctly, you're saying that you dislike her story; but you're criticising her, not her story as such. Maybe that's why some people are misunderstanding what you're saying.

I saw that movie in the theaters and I thought it sucked then, too.
But yeah, he's right. Don't touch that...it's evil.
Yeah, Renee is being a bit overbearing but some things are better done sooner rather than later. I think that Brun will ultimately thank her for her help and not letting her stay in an inactive comfort zone.
Brun working late shifts for a long time confirmed. "Renee, what's that bright light in the sky? It's too bright to be the moon!"
....It might just be me but in that second panel, Brun looks like a half-asleep version of Chelle from Portal.It's the color scheme. Orange blanket, white top. Matches the Portal 2 Chell's costume.
This is a complex situation. Are the events happening concurrently? Like the faye situation happened at the same time as brun reaching the apartment at 4? If so reneee is a bit assholish. If this is a fresh night of sleep then brun is lazy. I don't have alot of sympathy for her but lets see where it goes.
And jeez renee is bossy. Being helpful is one thing, but turn it DOWN to 11. Its currently at 46.

Brun's not necessarily lazy. If she's used to working a late shift and sleeping 6 am to 2 pm, that's not lazy, that's just an alternative sleep schedule for those who work while normal people are sleeping. Given that Brun seems to *need* routine in her life, Renee is a bit assholish no matter what. If it's been a while, then pushing Brun to start job/apartment hunting is fine, but disrupting her routine to do it? Not so much.
Off comment: You know, with Dora actively trying to improve her life, she can make up with Sven. None of her problems had to do anything with Sven.Which she did: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3025
I am hoping that Martin and Dora get back together and have a better relationship.Doesn't that run afoul of the shipping rule? And, Dora seems to be happy with Tai (and their relationship seems to be healthier - Tai pushes Dora to be a better person) and vice versa, Marten seems to be happy with Claire (and their relationship seems to be healthier - Marten's forced to take the lead and therefore work through his passivity). So, wanting Marten and Dora to get back together means wanting those relationships to end (considering nobody involved is poly, as far as we know - not even Tai, as her promiscuity was attempting to fit in with her poly crushes, but she was completely unsatisfied with that).
I agree it does run afoul or even a fowl of the shipping rule. They did patch things up. Sven returning to a life which made him happy (the old one) will be a good change.
Tai and Claire are too immature for their respective partners. Got nothing against them, but their role of long term partners seem a bit "meh". Tai is a bit moody at times and Claire, well is prone to alot of immaturity. As a long term option, not that great a partner.
Now matin and Dora can enter a relationship as helthier partners. Dora will be a lot more stable and martin can express how they feel. The is always ClaireTai when Clearatin fails.
How can anyone not love that film - it has LEGO.I saw that movie in the theaters and I thought it sucked then, too.Time Bandits is still a weird film after all these years, but I expect nothing less from Terry Gilliam.

And if Clinton had done any of these: "Oh my god he is such a creepy weirdo!"The difference being that Brun and Renee have a preexisting trusted friendship.
Renee does gym? Looking like she needs to commit to it a bit more.

This just made a lightbulb click on for me. The reason Renee is suspicious of Clinton without ever meeting him is that by helping Brun, he's moving in on her territory. :-P

Sometimes the best friends push you to get your shit together. The two pm wake up isn't good because a lot of this stuff needs to happen during business hours.I think you're right on the money here - if Brun's waking up at two, she won't have enough time to file the paperwork before business hours end. In Bruns line of work, calling for jobs later in the day might not be that big of a problem, but I don't know if Renee's thought of that. All in all, I think she knows Bruns routine, and she knows how much strain it puts on her to live with another person (when she described her routine, she joked that Brun might follow it, but she obviously knows that won't happen).
ETA: also to me this solidifies that Renee doesn't want Brun dependent on her; these are all necessary steps to Brun becoming INDEPENDENT once again.
I think brun will work at the robot fighting arena. A bar at a fighting pit? Now things will pick up!Hmm, I'm not too sure how well that would mix (pun) with them trying to remain under the radar. Also I don't really know how many of the AI would drink.

If i had to guesstimate, the qc season finale will be coffee of doom versus the other coffee shop (if she is in fact the owner). Dora will enlist the help of faye and her welding skills to build a catapult. Martin will provide the metal track. And pintsize and wilson will livestream.
So yes, I'm in the "Don't walk away Renée, but dial it down a few notches, OK?" camp.

... Renee is like that kid on the playground who got upset when her best friend wanted to play with other kids ...
Like Sal and Marcie in that other webcomic. (the one about butts)All webcomics are about butts.
Off comment: You know, with Dora actively trying to improve her life, she can make up with Sven. None of her problems had to do anything with Sven. I really hated that Dora and Faye were demonizing his life. He is actually the most grounded of most of the cast. I am hoping that Martin and Dora get back together and have a better relationship.

I agree with this. What has Sven ever actually done wrong? Kind of reminds me of Joe from Dumbing of Age - readers demonize him for having casual sex with women whereas no one in this readership would have the same reaction toward a female character that casually sleeps with men (Raven, anyone?).
He's never done anything non-consensual, he doesn't try to lie or manipulate women into thinking that he's offering a relationship. He otherwise seems like a perfectly alright person who never did anything to deserve being cut off by his own family member, and Dora has definitely been in the wrong (in my opinion) this entire time.
Oh and almost got Marten killed that one time.
On Sven: I think it's pretty clear that Jeph's intent was to portray him as in the wrong with Faye, and while he's not a terrible person (no one in the comic besides Beatrice and maybe Corpse Witch is), he's not perfect. And "most grounded of most of the cast"?! He EXPECTED FAYE TO LEAVE HER CURRENT BOYFRIEND TO BE WITH HIM. NOTHING about that is "grounded".
... if she doesn't then Brun will not move from that couch for a month.Whatever the situation anyone who is cheerful at me like that one minute after I've been woken up two hours earlier than I was expecting is not going to get a positive response.
