Since she's at the least had a yen for every female that's crossed her path thus far, I agree that "Tai lusting after Marigold" is a given, unless you mean in an active, perhaps grabbing, sort of way. Actually, I'm wondering if Jeph won't chill on the whole Marigold thing for a few days. I'm hoping we actually get to see Cosette do some of the stuff in the tweets. Or was that Marten?

Angry,

I was going to say that TaiGold was an absolutely terrible idea but then I realised that we don't really know if she's straight or not.  After all, we know she's not that self-aware so, if she's not, then TaiGold.  Although I'm a DaleGold shipper I do have to admit that Tai's a geek at heart (remember her secret identity).  If Marigold is straight then I think that Tai and her would become good friends.

However, I think SvenGold is a definite no-no.  In fact, I think somebody should talk to Hanners about getting a new body because I think he should go with Momo.

Somehow I think this is the next time we're going to see the sex toy store.

Marigold may identify as straight, but it's a hazy scrubbed up fantasy a la Hanners & the firemen.  And with friends like Tai & Dora, they're both going to get a bit distracted if clothes shopping with Mari.

I was thinking about that strip but, as Jeph has informed us on multiple occasions, Marigold isn't exactly self-aware.  This gives him wiggle room to take the strip in either direction.[1]

What did Angus try to put on?  Was it actual good music or crappy pop?  Lo-fi is only good when the band has actual songwriting skill instead of just droning on with random experimentation.  But all the Pforkers seem to only like the 'Droning with random experimentation' stuff.

All couple portmanteaus are ghastly—it's their nature. Meanwhile, I'm trying to work out if Tai missed her targets or was genuinely going for the friendly.

Has anyone ever said "It's not what it looks like" when there isn't at least some likelihood that it is, in fact, most exactly what it looks like?

This. Although, there's booze at this party, and the last time Mari got drunk........I can see a tanked Tai being all "lemme touch em" and an even-more-tanked-Mari saying "Touch em? Fuck that, you can SEE EM! *Dress goes flying off*" and the ENTIRE PARTY doing that head-tilt thing.

Yeah. The only "subtle" thing I see happening here is Marigold is going to sabotage things with Faye and Angus before they even get a chance to start.

Marigold is the female equivalent of a "Nice Guy", complete with giving Faye a bullshit talk that I'm surprised Jeph didn't have end with a "You'd better treat him right! :x " line.

I think she would find the situation easier to deal with if Angus and Faye were together.  This is my reasoning:

If they're together, then she could blame her lack of a relationship with Angus on the fact that Angus was interested in someone else.  If that were not the case then she would have to face the thought, from her own low self-esteem that there was something wrong with her.[1]  If Angus chose Faye over her and they broke up over something stupid, then that would imply, from her self-esteem point of view, that she's even worse than someone who is being stupid.

Obviously, she's not self-aware so she is not aware of all this reasoning (it's just lurking in a sub-conscious).  The only thing she's aware is the thought of Faye and Angus being together makes her feel better so she's doing what she can to support them.

[1] Her self-esteem would have been too low to accept that sometimes personalities don't match.

I agree with JackFaerie -- anime and manga, which Marigold spends a lot of time and money consuming, is full of "just a friend" types who go to great lengths to make sure the person they have the hots for is happy in their relationship with somebody else. it may be rubbing off on her in a subconscious way, or she may be basing her actions on the only thing she knows.

Yes... but he said in that same aside about self-awareness (and I quote): "The last thing my comic needs is another super-detached female character who is constantly self-analyzing and quipping about everything she says."

Sorry, that's Faye to a "T".

Yeah, when did people start assuming Marigold is a scheming witch? Last week she was a poor helpless girl that was holding a pity party for herself, and in the span of five minutes, after she's had a realization that she's okay with this, she's going to destroy it?

Pick one way or the other, guys. She has one friend. She doesn't want that one friend to get hurt.

Now, when they break up, THEN Faye's in for a world of hurt.

She's not especially self-aware, but it's easier IME to be sure what you're not into than what you are.

Now there's a plotline. Faye hurts Angus, Marigold reprograms Pintisze to be even worse.

Pretty sure I've been consistent in my disgust for her character and calling her a scheming witch.

Eh, I don't think Marigold is planning anything devious, at least not intentionally*.  She might still be a strain depending on how she acts and I'm sure Angus and Faye will potentially jump through hoops and hilarious hi-jinks to avoid her knowing about them since they don't know she knows.

I do think her basically 180 degree turn of character / behavior is rather sudden, but I've been expecting a Marigold Redemption arc anyway, so at least it looks to be short.

I guess we'll have to see how she behaves going forward.  Also someone should tell Dr. Corrinne about the novel new treatment of just complimenting boobs to make everything work out :P

I think she would find the situation easier to deal with if Angus and Faye were together.  This is my reasoning:

If they're together, then she could blame her lack of a relationship with Angus on the fact that Angus was interested in someone else.  If that were not the case then she would have to face the thought, from her own low self-esteem that there was something wrong with her.

I think this could play a big part.  In this strip she specifically whines about Angus not saying "Sorry Marigold, I'm interested in someone else" despite his having already told her flat out that he wasn't interested in her.  Marigold's implication is that without that someone else, Angus would have / may have been interested in Marigold.  So as long as Angus is into Faye, there's a convenient reason he's not into her.


*That said, devious Marigold would be interesting.  Mostly because, without the whining, there's not a whole lot of character there despite her being in the comic for something getting close to 300 strips.
