Title: WCDT July 12th - July 16th (4566-4570)
Post by: Gnabberwocky on 11 Jul 2021, 18:18
Comic's up. No poll yet, may add one later. Feel free to beat me to it.

Meanwhile, Hercules is napping in a corner, wondering why the humans are yelling at each other.

EDIT: woops, no he isn't. Completely missed him in that first panel.

some thoughts i put somewhere else, and i guess i'll put them here, too

Quote from: me
it's dumb how happy i am that jeph finally actually went here

i don't mean to damn him with faint praise, i promise. i figured we would eventually get something like this, once he began branching out more years ago. but to actually have even this permutation? yes, oh yes ^_^

look, i remember a decade... god, more even, ago, when i first started reading. and i had hopes.

and as time has passed, his work has met and even surpassed my hopes, the vast majority of the time.

this was one of them. all those years ago. and now it's here, like the sun

and it's a small stupid thing that doesn't mean anything! it's not as important as all that

and yet

thanks, jeph

It is extremely possible to be a top and do this. Topping just gives you a role you can lean into to make sure everything's fine and hyperfocus on making sure of it if you can't turn your brain off, at least making it work for you. And then afterglow, you lose the outlet the role was giving you in the moment, and this happens.

I mean, Elliot definitely isn't. Look at him. I'm just saying in theory.

I would, actually.

Throughout the comic, Clinton generally has expressed very healthy attitudes towards relationships, friendships, and sex. More importantly even, he has consistently shown openness to other people's advice and interpretations and/or fluidity in his own feelings. Note that this does not mean he is flawless, his insecurities/inexperience definitely hampered him in his interactions with Emily and especially his response to her simply stating she didn't have time for dating. But, overall I'd consider his attitudes quite healthy

Yes, yes, I am a bit of a fan of Clinton

I would even say: second guessing happiness is a terrible curse. And I'm aware it totally IS a thing. Some people actually do it. If you are questioning choices making you happy, when will you ever feel confident?

Post by: Farideh on 13 Jul 2021, 14:30
As a person who almost continuously second guesses herself, I can tell you that feeling confident is Very Hard. I tend to be afraid that I am not good enough, that my husband will at some point 'come to his senses' and leave me. Never mind the fact that we have been together for, lemme count, almost 19 years now. If there was something about me that would scare him off, he would have figured that out by now. Same goes for me re. friendships, career, etc.

I had a think about this yesterday and realized that it is a sort of 'victim attitude', and also a self-fulfilling prophecy. If I start acting too much on my insecurities, I will end up pushing people away which will then result in me thinking: "See, I knew that was going to happen! Poor me, doom and despair".

I don't like this about myself. I want to change it.

Post by: MrNumbers on 13 Jul 2021, 22:54
I wrote a bit explaining what I like about this relationship so much, but then I realized I could summarize it better with a short scene conveying what I feel like they give each other.

Picture this with me:


Clinton and Elliot at a diner. Elliot is allergic to, let's say, carrots. Their orders show up and Elliot's got shredded carrot all through it, despite not being on the menu. He starts picking it out of his order. Clinton says just ask them to change it. Elliot says he doesn't want to be a bother. Clinton flags down the waitress.
"Hey, excuse me, my boyfriend's allergic to carrots. He was trying not to be a bother-"
"Oh, no bother at all. Sorry about that." The waitress takes it with a smile. "Nice top," The waitress whispers as she leaves.
Elliot's face disappears into his hands and he goes bright red as he realizes she did not mean his shirt. Clinton eats a fry with an amused smile, pushes his plate to the middle of the table so they can share until she gets back.

The chef gets mad. "He's paying for it." The waitress comes back to tell them, but they've both heard the shout from the kitchen. Clinton is firm, and sees that Elliot is now worrying about this becoming A Thing.
"The carrot wasn't on the menu."
"Clinton, it's fine."
"No, you're being reasonable. I'm not letting someone bully you into thinking sending an order back is wrong."
"It's fine. He's right. It's not fair to ask him to do more work just because I'm allergic, I'll-"
Clinton's already out of his seat. He slides into the kitchen. The angry chef is frying with a skillet.
"Hey listen, I'm trying to help my boyfriend be less shy and stand up for himself. I'd really appreciate it if-"
Chef, sotto voce; "$20 right now and I'll work with you. Only offer."
Clinton looks at the chef, pauses. Sighs. Pulls a $20 from his wallet. "Fine, whatever, just, I'm telling him it's because we asked nicely. Alright?"
Chef, nodding, takes the $20. "I'll make it quick. Because you asked so nicely."
Clinton, muttering, as he walks out of the kitchen. "Asshole." It's just loud enough for the waitress to hear as she passes.

Clinton goes back. The new order is out quick, the waitress smiling as she delivers it but frowning when she turns away. Dinner is very nice. The conversation is lovely.
The bill arrives. Elliot's order is listed twice on the receipt. He notices it when he reads it to leave a big tip for the waitress being so nice - she's the one that put his on the bill twice, to hint at what's happened. Elliot rises from the table.
Clinton follows close behind.
"There's been a mistake." Elliot says simply.
"I took the carrots out, I don't know what more you want from me."
"I would like you to give Clinton his money back. So we can split the bill fairly"
The chef turns, raises his eyebrow. "No."
"Elliot, I-"
Elliot turns to Clinton, smiles like a big labrador retriever. "I know. It's fine."
The chef folds his arms, hot skillet next to him in easy reach. "You don't scare me."
"I could, if I wanted to." Elliot frowns. "But we're just going to go home."
The chef nods, smirks up at him, blinks, realizes. "And the rest of the bill?"
"My boyfriend has already paid for our meals. Thank you."
Elliot starts to leave with Clinton after him. They pause at the door as Clinton whispers something. Clinton goes back in and gives the waitress a $20 tip and a grateful smile. Then they walk back out again.


I'm enjoying this ship a lot. My favourite romances always answer the question; "What do these two people give each other that they can't get from their platonic relationships?" Clinton has someone to reward his character growth and encourage it. A lot of that character growth was learning to be assertive without being a callous asshole. Elliot's got someone to reassure him, and someone who can be confident and assertive in a way he appreciates and will want to emulate.

There's a popular confusion of tops with doms, bottoms with subs. The mentions of top/bottom in this thread, seem to mean who controls or who goes along for the ride (dom/sub) rather than than who penetrates or who is penetrated (top/bottom). One might think this a limp distinction---by tendency, maybe so---but this disregards dom bottoms and sub tops; (Rest assured: They exist :wink:)

Quote from: MrNumbers on 13 Jul 2021, 22:54

I'm sorry, but I must disagree with your characterization of callous assholery. The chef, was being a callous asshole: In fact, he'd be wholly in the wrong, at insisting on providing a different service than was advertised (And no, Elliot should not need to disclose his reasons for not wanting the alternative: Disclosing one's reasons for not wanting a particular arrangement is often-enough humiliating that even if you're OK with sharing your reasons, it perpetuates a toxic culture of explaining oneself to assholes.) The appropriate polite response in this situation would be to get up and leave, probably leaving a small tip to the nice waitstaff for their trouble. And to boycott that abusive restaurant. Not callous assholery: A basic assertion of one's dignity and rights.
On the other hand, seeking an amicable resolution with intransigent gnats is (nigh by definition) servile; Servility is a major cause of illegitimate authority. (Our apologies for the screed.)

I've never been in this particular situation, but in my experience in various others, someone else being obviously anxious makes it much easier for me to chill and gently take charge myself. Clinton's also probably full of endorphins rn lol

Dropping a cat on his naked lap did knock Elliot out of his feedback loop.  A lot of times real problems are easier to deal with then imaginary problems.

I think this is the first time we've seen him with someone where he knows the other person likes him back. With Emily, he was trying to impress her. And then mostly him trying to get an opportunity to date someone. But Elliot made it clear that he liked him so that probably takes a lot of the pressure off for him.

Plus as someone else said, when someone is freaking out, it can sometimes be easy to take the role of calm in response.

Also, theory confirmed: Yay doesn't want to get a cat because their dogs wouldn't be able to cohabit with it.

Of course Yay has seismographic sensors.

Maybe she could get one of these, from what I've read they don't take any crap from anyone/thing
I hope this works, first time I've tried something like this.

Not gonna lie, the thought of an AI eavesdropping on me in the middle of sexytime is kind of creepy.

This was unrelated to why I refuse to get an Alexa or wire my place to be a smart house, but now it is.  And yes, I'm aware that my phone can still spy on me, but it's easier to bury that under a few layers of discarded clothing.

Love Roko's haircut - It reminds me a little of Cindee-21 from 4484.

Happy to serve.  :-D

I prefered the longer haircut. I think it suited their face better than this particular cut. Maybe Roko should have gone really short? That would have been cool. :claireface:.
And there is always the hair-bath at Union Robotics.

So robot hair doesn't grow (unless submerged in a polymer bonding solution)... unless their is a fashion or vanity reason to change it, most robots probably are happy with their chosen haircut for life.
so why does she own a set of hair clippers?

Would it not been cheaper and smart to get a barber/hairdresser to cut it.

The clippers might belong to Yay. Maybe they use them on the dogs?

Clippers are really cheap, much cheaper than going to a stylist.

Lmao I find the sensimeter hilarious, and my first thought was, is it fine tuned enough to differentiate between different types of sex? Not all types of sex are rhythmic or thrusty lol

ETA: I’m sure Yay’s got an algorithm for that lmao

I like the friendly interaction between Yay and Roko.  It's a bit of an argument but there's no hostility.

Clippers? Roko has an extensive set of kitchen implements she doesn't use.

You don't need a seismometer to know when Bubs and Faye are active.

Roko's new do:

Jeph's choice of course, and to add my own two cents worth:

This instance of Yay doesn't have tijubas, where some of them in 3418 might; they certainly all have hips...

I guess that paired with the colour, my thoughts were more “cute goth chick” than “Karen”.

Considering the size of Elliot, probably don't have to be all that sensitive for his fun times either.

And my first thought was "the Major from Ghost in the Shell." In comparison, Roko differs from Motoko (at least physically) mostly in the material her brain is made of.

Probably. We think. The Major, after all, has some serious identity issues herself. Even excluding (as you should) the execrable live action film that recently pretended to be part of the franchise.

Roko (or more accurately, Jeph) can make an appointment at United Robotics to get extensions, if she so chooses

Kusanagi's issue wasn't that was uncomfortable in her body, her issue was not feeling like she still human.
