Sue needs to be bullied more editionWebsite: https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.comBooru: https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/candybooru/
>>151277604Exit Paulo
>>151277604Lucy has literally assumed direct control of Sue, this is getting out of hand.
>>151277604This page must have been published by accident. The artist forgot Sue's eyes.
Next page: Sue continues, saying this is Lucy we're talking about, give her space. Paulo is still worried so Lucy tells him to go see Mike, he could use the sympathy. Paulo gets up to leave. Lucy says "What was it you said that one time?" and he freezes up and stares at her.
Wow, she's really going to make Sue look even more desperate to kiss Lucy's ass than usual. Rest in piss I guess
>>151277636>Sue continues, saying this is Lucy we're talking about, give her space. Paulo is still worried so Lucy tells him to go see Mike, he could use the sympathy. Paulo gets up to leave.Ok>Lucy says "What was it you said that one time?" and he freezes up and stares at her.Tae I know Suitcase is reading this to you and I want you to know that when you die and have to face God you will be found wanting
>>151277604+ commentary
>>151277636>What was it you said that one time?Is this about when he threw mike under the bus
>Sue right now
gofile dot io/d/GvtcpyLmao he reported the last upload. Everyone say hi to Suitcase! I'm gonna ask him why he doesn't get any better as an editor despite years of practice. Is he stupid?
>>151277636Uh oh
>>151277636This chapter has greatly increased my desire for torture porn of these terrible characters
>>151277661*White cat.
>>151277674Can't Paulo just says things had changed between then and now
This next page gets WEIRD
>>151277673Anything new or are you just picking a fight with suitcase for some reason
>>151277636>Oh you COULD go be nice to your friend>but you know I'm going to air your dirty laundry if you're stupid enough to take me at my wordWhat a fucking bitch, Jesus Christ.
>>151277636>"What was it you said that one time?"What is it? The thing where he said he'd stop being friends with Mike if she wanted?Why would she bring that up? Is she TRYING to be a villain or something?
>>151277636Easy response if Taeshi wasn't writing Lucy to always be right:>Yeah and then you told me to fuck off and slapped me and I wondered why the fuck I ever liked you to begin with.
>>151277704>Is she TRYING to be a villain or something?I think she is
>>151277627But it's been clear for a while that Sue cares a whole lot more about Lucy than she does Mike. Multiple anons predicted this outcome even before the preview pages.
>>151277636There will only be two more pages in the chapter after this, what do you guys think Paulo will do?
>>151277704He offered, she's just reminding him, she's not telling him to act on it, just to r e m e m b e r, it's not like she wants him to do anything :) :) :) ;)
>>151277604One broken leg wasn't enough for Sue it seems.
>>151277688You think the white cat carrying the fucking book of grudges cares about personal growth?
>>151277636> Lucy says "What was it you said that one time?" and he freezes up and stares at her.Lucy then says "At least your mother fucking loved you."
>>151277636Lucy's a massive fucking cunt
>>151277661 Fuck you Taeshi
>>151277636>yeah Mike could use a friend right now>but you diiiid kinda promise to drop him, sooooI don't wanna hear anybody say Lucy doesn't want people to take sides, or that she doesn't want this, ever again.
>>151277730Paulo sits down obediently like the soggy bitch he is after Daisy also gives him "don't ruin this for us" eyes, goes outside after school when free from Lucy to look for Mike, and he's nowhere to be found
>>151277709Despite Lucy's attitude towards Paulo, I think it's really easy to hurt her by telling how unlikeable she is.
>>151277636I could see that Lucy started huffing her own farts real bad right after kicking Mike. But I sure didn't expect this level of passive aggressive condescension and spite. She's not content with just winning; Truly Worst Cat of All Time will righteously intimidate and assassinate anyone she doesn't believe is solidly on her own side. Lucy has ascended the throne of Table Tyrant, and Paulo is a traitor to the regime.
>>151277796She wanted it
>>151277804This, Paulo will sit down like a good boy
>>151277718>I think she isThat's my impression too. Even her pose on the current page is villain-like.>>151277749She is about to enforce the geas/blood contract on Paulo
>>151277704Basic psychobitch stuff>Mike needs sympathyShe doesn't believe Mike deserves it, but she doesn't want to be seen as the aggressor.>Go to himThis is bait for the shit test, the hook is>Remember your promise? Here, let me tell everyone about itSo now either Paulo give in to peer pressure and Lucy win, or he picks Mike over her everyone thinks less of him for "leading her on" and Lucy's inner demons win because it confirms her paranoia, which practically an upside for crazy bitches.>>151277730Considering how Taeshi wallowed in the flashback to Paulo and Lucy fucking I suppose he'll lash out and tell everyone he popped her cherry.
>>151277817All according to keikaku
>>151277806Mike hasn't spent a single day away from the table and they're already suffering from the lack of a lightning rod
>>151277826Lucy, much like Taeshi, let her BPD win. And it has rapidly transformed her from merely a delusional unsympathetic bitch into a selfish monster.
>>151277604???????????????????What are they mad at him about???
>>151277636>Lucy says "What was it you said that one time?" and he freezes up and stares at her.And Taeshi's fans will keep slopping this up and revere Lucy as an absolute girlboss who can do no wrong instead of the psychotic fucking villain she's blatantly become. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
>>151277709Does she expect Paulo to keep pining away after her once she's rejected him already?
>>151277858He's a traitor
>>151277604Siiiiiigh
>>151277858James>fuck Mike i'm sour on the subjectSue>Lucy's back so don't rock the boat
>>151277858Defending Mike near Lucy
Lucy is genuinely vindictive, and I’m torn because I actually find her an interesting character for that, I like a psycho bitch, but I can’t fucking stand how much the patreon comments glaze her. Maybe this is Taeshi returning Lucy to her morally grey place. Maybe, just maybe, Lucy will become an actual character again with flaws that can’t be defended and not a boring mary sue self-insert.
>>151277870Of course! Rules for thee, never for Lucy, see? At least some of the sins Mike got blamed for were or presently are embodied in Lucy herself.
>>151277870No it's just normal friendship and loyalty when Lucy never fucking asks for it
>>151277636>>151277657Devil's advocate, and at this point I'm just seeing what a competent writer COULD do, and frustratingly what Taeshi probably WON'T do:>Lucy has now latched onto Aug as a Mike replacement, she truly doesn't care about Mike right now which is why she's ok destroying his reputation and openly manipulating everyone against him.>This is going to cause her to tip her hand in a way that the other retards at the table are allowed to pick up on.>Paulo is the first one to admit he has a far better relationship with Mike than he ever did with Lucy, and then everyone else slowly realizes it too.>Lucy has now truly isolated herself, left with only Aug, more miserable than before because now she knows everyone actually DOES hate her ass.>Aug cracks under the pressure from dealing with an even more miserable Lucy and starts avoiding her at school too.WOULDN'T IT BE NICE
>>151277604The best thing Mike can do right now is transfer to a different school, cut contact with Sandy, and get a good therapist. These "friends" are the type to only back off when you have a nervous breakdown.
>>151277826At least it's a good fucking lesson for Paulo, even if you agree that he just blurted that out of desperation and never meant to act on it it's still a shit move to pull out and there are consequences to promising to backstab your friends. The only reason Paulo isn't licking her feet now that he's back is because of Paisy, so at least narratively Lucy is not an option anymoreWhat bothers me is how no one is questioning what's happening, they just assumed Lucy is back because something happened to Mike and decide that's ok, he apologized to them all and has tried to be less of a sperg but he's not Lucy so fuck him
>>151277868They were already mad at Paulo for even bringing him up, they just care to be on the right side of the narrative (Lucy's)>>151277858He's shaking the boat by not taking Lucy and shutting up
>>151277904I hope so. I hope Lucy fully embraces her villainous act and goes full psycho hoe for a whiile, BUT the important thing is that this time people actually notice she's acting wrong, fight against it, and humble her down.
>>151277620>Daisy your curly ass fur latched onto mine like velcro again!
>>151277870Is that not what she expected of Mike?
>>151277870Wow almost like everything Augustus accused Mike of is even more true of Lucy.
>>151277604Look at Lucy hitting the Gendo Ikari back there
>>151277666correct, satan. you better up your game in hell before BCB overtakes it as the most torturous place to send sinners.>>151277636>>151277804>>151277817i don't really see it going any other way, unfortunately. hope is a poison in BCB.functionally what Lucy is doing here is threatening to share the statement Paulo made with the rest of the table, and using that to try and keep him from supporting a longtime friend who happens to be on her shitlist right now.>>151277824>She is about to enforce the geas/blood contract on Pauloi'm gonna be real here, i think i like unapologetically evil eldritch Lucyspace Lucy more than canon BCB Lucy as a character. it gives the appropriate level of dread when the characters i root for encounter her.
>>151277923Mike is total "I don't deserve it" mode, he's not going to do anything himself, his family might do it for him if he's depressed enough tho
>>151277604Who stole Sue's eyes
>>151277636And THERE it is
>>151277636>Sue continues, saying this is Lucy we're talking about, give her spaceHe wasn't even talking to Lucy, oh no silly me no one can even talk about Greycat in the vicinity of the half-deaf girl because she might get the sads.
>>151277704Honestly Lucy is so much more compelling as a villain than as a ‘sympathetic’ protagonist. I fucking wish Taeshi had the balls or skill to flip her into a villain role, making her self-fulfil December. That would be such a twist, this comic would really become something to talk about.
>>151277904you posted this while i was typing >>151277977 but this is also a pretty good explanation for one of the reasons i find Lucyspace AU more compelling than canon - it lets Lucy be an actual villain, and gives you space to make her motivations grey when her actions decidedly aren't.
>>151277858He's trying to breach Lucyspace containment and the hive mind kicked in.
>>151277977>It gives me appropriate levels of dreadI mean just this chapter she killed Rachel, Sue, raped and paraded James' corpse on a string and turned David into an acolyte with power he shouldn't have
>>151277977>i think i like unapologetically evil eldritch Lucyspace Lucy more than canon BCB LucyMe too. At this point, I actually WANT her to go full Lucyspace mode.I'm telling you man, a fancomic featuring Psychic BCB would potentially be way more entertaining and interesting than current BCB.
Don't worry Sue, you can still be forgiven.
>>151277636>>151277704I'm unironically so excited. Lucy actually being vitriolic herself instead of quietly being a perfect victim while everyone else is cruel on her behalf is not a development I expected.Adding guilt and angst to the lovely Maulo stew we've got going.
So is Lucy going full unabashed villain mode? Sure feels that way the last few pages.
>>151277604Oh hey, it's me!
>>151277730Page 1:>Paulo looks guilty. >Lucy keeps pushing. >Paulo calls her a bitch. He storms off. >Daisy goes after him.2:>The table looks on in shock. >Except for James who wanders away. >He takes out his phone. >"Its me.">"The table is split. Its all going exactly as you planned.">"Yes, Mike is close to his breaking point. We'll enter the final phase and begin providing him with weapons soon.">"...Yes. Thank you... Mr. President."
>>151277636One of these days Sue is going to get BTFO because she keeps babying Lucy like she was an emotional toddler no one wants to deal with (she is)
Lucy has that ominous Homelander presence any time she's visually shown
Paulo to interact with his lil sister when?
>>151277604The fuck is Sue all pissy about? You actually fucking hang out with Mike in your roleplay group and should give a shit about him far more than Lucy, who just a fucking cunt to you same as everyone else now.
>>151278103>"...Yes. Thank you... Mr. President."Why would dog Obama do this?
>>151278103kek
>>151278115don't give bagfag any more ideas for secret fics now...
>>151278096I want to see the cult's cope
>>151278073could be what's happening, but the fans would hate that, which is why she's not as involved with the readers anymore?
>>151277870Yes. He's done it before.
>>151278148The patrons also think she's being mean right now
>>151278103>snake eater jingle plays
these people
>>151277636> Lucy tells him to go see Mike, he could use the sympathy. Paulo gets up to leave. Lucy says "What was it you said that one time?" and he freezes up and stares at her.Mike wasn't mean enough during December.He probably woulda have gotten less shit if he assaulted lucy.
>>151277636>What was it you said that one time?Someone really needs to tell her next time she tries to kill herself that she should do it right.
>>151277920Nearly everyone is better at writing BCB than its own creator.>Lucy has now latched onto Aug as a Mike replacement, she truly doesn't care about Mike right now which is why she's ok destroying his reputation and openly manipulating everyone against him.I appreciate that the comic finally admitted, even if by accident, what kind of person Lucy is. She doesn't just put up walls after getting hurt--she actively vilifies the offending party, at least inside her own head. Why? I think we get a hint in what just transpired outside. Mike was spitting facts about how much Lucy had fucking sucked back then. She violently shut him down, then stepped into the ol' Oscorp gas chamber and huffed a whole canister of vaporized copium. No no no, it's not that she abused Mike, really. See, the truth is that he was a horrible emotional cheater who wished to use her as a Sandy replacement (until he didn't need Lucy anymore and abandoned her). Lucy was valiantly trying to fend him off despite also needing him. An unwinnable scenario, woe was her. It's Mike who was the bad guy that entire time, obviously! What I'm getting at is that Lucy thinks any personal betrayal (or whatever she perceives as such, being so very oversensitized to the notion) is only possible because 1) she deserves it on account of sucking ass 2) the offender is a terrible person who unjustly hurt her. Guess which option Lucy chooses to believe.
>>151278212>Sue breaks Paulo's jaw>"I mean she's just reading the room, Paulo should stop trying to torture Lucy by mentioning the forbidden name"
>>151277951I fear this is phase two of Taeshi's Big BPD Jackoff: Intensive Lucy-wins-everything proxy masturbation hours. For the next ten or so years.
>>151278103>"...Yes. Thank you... Mr. President."
>>151278272She suffered so much already, it's ok to balance it out :)
>>151277620Is Daisy standing? If Paisy endgame can stop Maulo endgame, is it strong enough to free Daisy from the chains of Lucyspace, too?
>>151277620>>151277636So will Paulo go "fuck this" and leave with Daisy following? Would be funny if Lucy's return immediately resulted in the table taking a hit to the roster
>>151278293Lucy is about to pull her trap card, it's all for naught
>>151277604This will be the only time that I agree with Lucy. Paulo did say this and he was a shitter for this. Mike and everyone else never found out, he did deserve to be called out for this. If Lucy liked him back, New Years with Mike would not have even happened.
Qrd on this comic?
>>151278240>Guess which option Lucy chooses to believe.This fucking page isn't supposed to be a correct analysis, but now it is. How do you write someone like this and not believe them to be a bad person?>>151278293Who drew this anyhow?
>>151278103>they finally break Mike>then load him into a psychoframe-powered death machine>it's the perfect weapon>what could go wrong?
>>151278103why would obama do this
>>151278314grey cat gets constantly abused by white cat while hes in a ldr with other white catmade by someone with bpd who gets off on this and things grey cat is in the wrong because he called abusive white cat a parasite once after she was pummeling him for years
>>151278314Here you go
So what this chapter gave us?>Crying>Violence towards men GOOD, so just more Mike bashing>Muh letters that mean absolutely nothing>Rachel ruined with Augustus>LUCYLUCYLUCY>More retard James>More retard David>Sue being extra SueAnd now we wait for Paulo bitching out or not
>>151278313>>151277636I meant to reply to the spoiler
>>151278240The other thing is that Taeshi would've had to dig into old pages for all those flashbacks in that page after Lucy kicked Mike, and some of those original pages outright showed that Lucy shoved Mike off and denied him getting close to her next second. She HAS to know how hypocritical Lucy is being, she can't selectively ignore that much even if she has been re-writing older pages to make Mike look like more of a prick.I know she's fucking nuts but there's just gotta be a limit man... I can't fathom Taeshi not having at least the comic start to acknowledge that Lucy gets "betrayed" because as you said, she sucks ass.
>>151278314Childhood friendship ruined by abusive behaviour over boy choosing the other girl. A lot of drama follows.
>>151278337If this leads to Mike and Paulo hugging and crying together it's all okay
>>151278293Daisy is such a 50/50 tossup. She's a huge pushover subject to peer pressure, but does genuinely care about Mike. But she's proximal to Lucyspace so that's going to push the odds in a bad direction.
>>151278293this is fucking great, is this on the booru? wouldn't surprise me if it was but then got deleted by taeshi/suitcase
>>151278317>Who drew this anyhow?it was posted without credit last thread. can't find evidence of it anywhere else, so might have been a drawfag here
>>151278314Imagine Haruhi wanted to torture Kyon.
>>151277718>Is she TRYING to be a villain or something?Look at her in the last panel of the OP and tell me she isn't.
>>151278313The problem, of course, is that while Paulo does deserve to get shit for such a bitch move, Lucy is weaponizing it to punish him for daring to care about Mike. So she's being a turbo cunt regardless.
This kills me.Not everything is some deep shit influenced by childhood trauma, sometimes people call out bullshit because it's just that, bullshit. Fucking armchair psychologists in the website comments, jesus christ.
>>151278314It's okay to be a homewrecker if you're a girl
>>151278409>>151277830
>>151278354See that's what I want it to be too, but every interaction of her outside the comic is doubling down on the narrative and you don't know if she's doing some smooth sharks bullshit because sometimes it is her dogshit opinion
>>151278395yeah, it was me
>>151277636Ok so even she remembers Paulo offering to do this exact thingSo why didn't she accept when Paulo offered to do this exact thing
>>151278317More evidence in the "psychic Mike" bin.
>>151278426But who are you?
>>151278412I like the idea of Paulo finally being told "you got what you wanted, now sit and shut up"
>>151278426if you're being serious, then good fucking job - it looks great.
>>151278354It's poetic, really. That flashback page aptly illustrates how willfully blind Lucy must be to say such things. She is an extension of Taeshi's ego, no matter how hard her creator ignores or denies the truth. Why should Taeshi herself be any less delusional?
>>151277604>he can hang out with Finn and the otherGaslighting little cunt, you were chiming in from the sidelines about how Mike isn't allowed in the cafeteria and you're pretending you don't remember?
>>151278416>Paulo your mother never fucking loved you so shut up, you're delusional This is just a repeat of "actually Mike manipulated Daisy into kissing him" because none of these characters have a will of their own unless it's to defend poor eternal victim Lucy
>>151278444I like the idea of Paulo finally seeing Lucy for the heinous thing she's devolved into and perhaps always was.
>>151278434Because she would be responsible for it, while now she can just bring it as blackmail without taking a personal stance out loud, less of a "hey I'll tell them if you ditch" and more a "I thought this was what you wanted to friend backstabber?"
>>151278475Does Taeshi herself even remember? She does such a poor job of keeping her own writing straight that James' own timeline makes no sense.
>>151278479>"actually Mike manipulated Daisy into kissing him"To be fair, that is like one of Mike's powers.. It activtes when he is nice to someone for more than 5 seconds, so they think he wants to fuck them. It's why he attracted alot of queers when he was youngerthat and the scarf. Dont forget this is like 08.
>>151278525Nothing a quick retcon can't fix
>>151278525I don't think she has any clue who the fuck James is besides "Mike torture tool #9".This isn't flighty or flaky, it's gullible and vindictive.
>>151278314In 2003 the author (11-13 years old) got her now husband to cheat on a girl he was talking to on a Sonic/Amy Rose shipping forum for 6 months so he can date her. The author 20+ years later is still insecure that he was interested in a girl that is not her.This comic is an self-insert indirectly told vent piece about this. The white cat is the author, the grey cat that gets beat down all the time is her husband, and a cat he talks to on the phone is this girl on the forum
>>151278537Mike's a punished harem protagonist
When do we think bagfag will try to slither his way into the subreddit moderation?
>>151278558James had always been a tool to lift Mike up and then dunk on him, and she expected everyone to like him because dunking on Mike is at half the comic is about, she didn't expect that people would actually hold him accountable for being a shit person
>>151278574What makes you think he's not trying to do exactly that behind the scenes?
>>151277636They need to kill Lucy at this point, fuck this psycho bitch ruining all happiness in the comic
>>151278087>a fancomic featuring Psychic BCB would potentially be way more entertaining and interesting than current BCBI'd be tempted to try writing an AU fanfic, but anons here seem partial to using something inspired by the WoD system for it and I'm completely out of my depth as far as WoD lore is concerned. I'd need to come up with the psychic power worldbuilding from scratch or dig through WoD lore myself.
>>151278571You just made me realize Taeshi is trying to make Mike into the School Days MC due to her lifelong obsession with school days
>>151278585But James is just like them! Taeshi must be so confused.
>>151277657It's amusing how autistic Mikefags are.
>>151278571>Mike's a punished harem protagonist>A man denied his harem>A man denied his talents>A man denied a good female love >A man (soon) to be denied a whole family>The man who lead on the world(lol)I dont think i have ever seen a harem protagnist this shit on in their own story.
>>151278574Pretty sure he used to own the reddit but lost it, that's why it was dormant until recently
>>151278479>none of these characters have a will of their own unless it's to defend poor eternal victim Lucythe irony of course being that this is never their own will and is compelled through unholy arcane means
The funny thing about all of this is that Mucy is STILL the endgame. And every chapter, every page makes it more and more retarded and forced. The longer this shit goes on the shittier it will be
>>151277730I think he's going to get mad at Lucy and storm off to find Mike. We know that Paulo talks/argues with/yells at Mike later at the burger place before volume's end.
>>151278412Nah, he was willing to throw his friend away for the hope of getting pussyNow he's getting cold feet because he's being called to account?He deserves getting raked over the coals
>>151278631A MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
>>151278641But one of the mods was consistently posting page updates for an empty audience until the subreddit randomly spiked in activity, i dont know if he ever was on the moderation there. Maybe on the old bcb sub
>>151278655Two things can be true at the same time, and in this case are just that.
>>151278631There is one who Taeshi is quite fond of
>>151278585I could've written this outcome in a way that didn't make him look evil.>James doesn't really know wtf is going on between Mike, Lu, and Aug.>But David is attached to Lucy for some reason, and he likes David.>So rather than spitting at Mike for no reason, he just mindlessly follows David, perhaps with a look back to Mike to show he's not completely blind or indifferent to his suffering.There. That'd at least just make him the "easily distracted" bimbo Taeshi keeps pretending he is.
>>151278675But fags are evil
>>151278661I remember old days when this thread was getting deleted off the board often, and we tried to take shelter in the reddit but were very quickly shut down
>>151278439just an anon, and even if I had an online presence right now I wouldn't want to be associated with the comic, maybe>>151278463thanks, I did put a little bit of effort for what was a shitpost if I'm being honest
>>151278655>>151278664Paulo also:- impulsively says a lot of shit he doesn't actually mean- was very quickly remorseful for it since >>151278091 happened not long after he said it.
>>151278655Nta but i would prefer if it was anyone else but Lucy. She is the last person to fuck with anyone for beign a two face bitch. Then again, knowng Lucy, if Paulo managed to save Mike from spiraling more, she woulda used it against both of them later to crash Mike into the ground.>>151278671Nice boatWasn't that only in the mainsteam anime and not the hentais?Mike didnt even get to fuck like Makoto did.The story is treating him like he did though.
>>151278706I agree, but shit has consequences and it's about time Paulo learnt boyish charm doesn't save you from everything, and also that he's not Lucy
>>151278675I dunno, anon, that might be worse. At least current James has the excuse that he's unbelievably fucking retarded. In your version, he knows full well something's fucky and still abandons the guy he professed love for, at his absolute lowest point, all for meme dog boy pussy.
>>151278713Yeah but Taeshi is a huge fan of the anime. A genuine super fan
>>151278426If fr, good job. It's great
>>151278726Not saying he'll take it, but he's got the opportunity here to absolve himself of guilt over it by putting his actions where his words weren't.
>>151278706He can say he didn't mean it and felt bad all he wants, that doesn't change the fact that he said it and definitely meant it in the heat of the moment He should feel guilty, and if it's what gets him to finally wake up and realize Lucy is a bitch that he shouldn't bother with that's all the better
taeshi retweeted this on blue sky
>>151278736Nta but I disagree, Anon's James has the excuse of puppy love/crush. Our James:>Blamed Mike for David not fucking him>Believed everything Lucy and Augsutus said>Now is acting like Mike stomped his balls>"I feel sorry for your girlfriend." says the failed homewrecker>Believes Mike somehow lead him on????Anon's idea is gay teen drama, the shit in story is a pos.
>>151278736To me that version is still unbelievably fucking retarded, just not vindictive over shit he doesn't even understand.Instead we got him saying shit like "I feel sorry for your girlfriend(the one I intentionally tried to steal you from)"
>>151278692Am I evil? Yes I am.
>>151278783>taeshi retweeted this on blue skyFor brownie points, mostly. You don't seriously think that Maulo is endgame, right?
>>151278817of course i dont, but it might be hinting at whats coming in the next chapter or twoendgame is still michael x lucy as much as everyone hates that ship
>>151278783The author engaging with fan art isn't unheard of, more if you consider how upset she is that no big name artist talks about her comic
>>151278817counterpoint: i want to believe
>>151278783not falling for itEven though it unironically has more chemistry than the other main ships and should be the endgame at this point
>>151278817>You don't seriously think that Maulo is endgame, right?
>>151278783Fucking hate Maulo, /bcb/ has zero taste. After he said that "It's not hard falling in love with your best friend" crap to Daisy it'd just feel like him going down his bucket list.
>>151278655Watching Lucy stans talk about Paulo needing to be held accountable for saying shit he doesn't mean is so funny. I'm genuinely delighted that Taeshi is actually letting Lucy do something unequivocally bad for once. If Mike is supposed to be getting his own December to understand her better, then it really does make sense for her to have a run at experiencing how cathartic it can feel to just be infinitely toxic to someone who has wronged you.Next few pages are really going to separate the people who just like Lucy as a character and the stans who will do any mental gymnastics necessary to make her a perfect infallible victim.
>>151278700>even if I had an online presence right now I wouldn't want to be associated with the comic, maybeThat's totally fair.>I did put a little bit of effort for what was a shitpost if I'm being honestIt looks great and it really captures the characters well, I think. The best shitposts are effortposts with SOVL anyway, and that more than makes the cut.
>>151278783>X did Y>Therefore X supports Y or is about to make it canonWhy are homos and women so gullible? Maybe more creators should retweet random crackships just to earn extra brownie points with those retards
>>151277604Sue but she actually has a reason to be pissy.
>>151278675>don't twist the knife you fucking moronThat's all Taeshi needed to do. She didn't need the kick, she didn't need "at least your girlfriend fucking loves you", all she needed was Mike outside, James inside and Paulo concerned. But she just couldn't help herself.
>>151278907>He didn't mean it>He regretted it>He really has Mike's back honestI hope you're right, anon, but I'm not holding my breath
>>151278783It's in no way a secret that she likes Maulo.
>>151278838>>151278859Trust me, I wish it weren't so. Anything other than the trashfire that is Mucy would be better, but we're undoubtedly heading that way whether we like it or not.
>>151278962Will she try to salvage James or is it too lateHe doesn't have a fanbase of simps and projecting bitches like Lucy does so it doesn't look good for him
>>151278655Missing the point. Yes Paulo is a cunt and he does deserve to get flak over that. It's just Lucy using that as a weapon to prod him for caring about Mike at this moment is still a bitch move on her part because she wants to hurt both of them (hurt Paulo for daring to care about Mike at all). Both are pricks, but at least Paulo has some decency to give a shit about Mike compared to everyone else who went 400% asshole
>>151278675Honestly I think James already knowing about Sandy did a lot of damage. If he's blindsided by Mike having a girlfriend at the date then "he's leading me on too!" and "I feel sorry for your girlfriend" make a lot more sense.
>>151277604Friendly reminder Sue shittalked about Polo that one time and Polo can just obliterate her in a picosecondLet Polo do a December on Sue.
>>151278999James was always intended to be a tool for the fuck Mike agenda. He will probably just be tossed aside once she is done using him or be another background retard that orbits David. I don't really think there is any salvaging him at this point for what he pulled whether you hate Mike or not.
>>151278869>/bcb/ has zero tasteyou really don't understand how much of this is "every other ship is complete shit," do you?everything else has been so ruined with hostility/blandness/incomprehensible character actions that people on fucking 4chan are rooting for two male characters to be gay with each other - DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW BAD THINGS HAVE TO GET FOR THAT?but by all means, give me your example of a ship with more solid, compelling, and non-self-sabotaging groundwork than Maulo.
>>151279026James knowing about Sandy makes it all way worse and nonsensical yeah. Reminder he was basically trying to get Mike to 'cheat' on Sandy with him in the first place.
>>151279069To be honest I think the best for Mike is to not get involved romantically with any of his "friends" and completely separate himself from them There's not really a good ship for Mike in this comic
>>151278655> for the hope of getting pussyHe did it for the chance of his reclusive and suicidal friend finally opening up to him. Let's be honest, okay?
>>151278869As >>151279069 said, Maulo is more of "just about everything else that is feasible to happen is far worse so fuck it at least it'd be funny."Mike would be better off with some of the background girls but we know that shit has zero shot of happening
>>151279069This site is full of fags and always has been
>>151279059But she will try, hear you me, the current Lucy dick sucking is trying to sell it to the cult as "one of us"
>>151278148>acting like apologists will suddenly stop apologizingAnon, I...
>>151279101Not much better, if we are indeed being honest. The operative issue was that Paulo unjustly threw Mike under the bus either way. Huge bitch move.
>>151279101Seriously, imagine being such a stan for Mike or Lucy that you can't even be charitable to Paulo, the most load-bearing friend either of them have, lmao
>>151279069Have Mike with Amaya
>>151279114Nah, it only happened when Tumblr hordes came here after the porn ban
>>151279136That's what he's saying, anon. The mental gymnastics are going to be Olympic level
>>151279136Watching animals going through loops and jumps doesn't mean I expect them to notice they could just walk towards the exit
>>151279148>load-bearing friendMaulo intensifies
>>151279178While I don't want to rain on everyone's parade I have to remind you that 40% of the abuse Mike has faced in this comic was by him, so while "but he a good boy now" is acceptable he still has to stop acting like Male Lucy whenever he doesn't get what he wants before he can be an actual help to Mike
>>151279147I agree. I just think it wouldn't be a problem in any other comic where characters are allowed to grow and atone for their actions. This single phrase is like a sword of Damocles, constantly hovering over Paulo... I can't take it anymore.
>>151279069If every ship is shit then I choose "none." I mean, maybe Jasmine/Mike but Taeshi hates that because Taeshi never lets go of grudges from the old forum. Maulo is garbage because Paulo's bifaggotry blocks the potential for Paulo and Mike at least being solid friends, now it just looks like more of his bullshit wanting to ride every pony on the carousel and every couple chapters he starts sobbing like a bitch because some of his gazillion crushes don't take his feelings seriously.
>>151279209>40% of the abuse Mike has faced in this comic was by himStuff that he's remorseful for and Lucy isn't, which is why>he still has to stop acting like Male Lucyis something he has technically already done....Granted, that's mostly due to Lucy being so categorically awful to Mike as a person that even the bare minimum of effort on Paulo's part would've put him ahead.
>>151278336Somebody mentioned Mike starting to get irritated with Lucy a little before the vacation arc, so I was skimming those chapters and found this. Before I checked the original volume I thought, wow, this "Mike gives people false hope" thing goes way farther back than I remember! But it turns out it's actually retconned dialogue, lol. The original still kinda roughly follows those lines but the new line echoing what Paulo says during New Years is still notable. I guess Taeshi has been thinking about this idea for a while.It's still weird though, getting so much shit for being close with Lucy feels like it contributed to Mike pulling away from her and eventually December. It's odd to me that he's being beaten with that stick again now. I keep trying to think of what Mike is supposed to have actually done wrong if both being Lucy's friend and pushing her away are damnable. It seems like he's been doomed ever since he befriended Sandy.
>>151279245>I keep trying to think of what Mike is supposed to have actually done wrong if both being Lucy's friend and pushing her away are damnable.Not date her, that's the sin. Mike should have waited for the psycho forever despite her making no promises to him.
>>151279245Clearly Tae had another breakdown and is now abusing the Suitcase stand in to make herself feel better I'm only half joking, I swear the comic seems to move in rhythm to her mental stability
>>151279245We really need a record of changes like this. A lot of people end up arguing from different versions of BCB-reality without it.It also lets Lucyspace AU/Psi-BCB have genuine reality warping of the past as a plot point - perhaps some characters remember both histories, or the changes to the past haven't fully propagated to everyone.
Sue needs (You), anon! Draw her eyes in!
>>151279153If you say so
>>151279241When he's shown stoping from doing shit like throwing Mike's computer stuff because he's upset or talking him down because he doesn't want to feel humiliated like the race I'll buy it, less "he's regretful" and more "he's making amends"
>>151279296I was on it right now, making 4
>>151279148At least their mothers fucking loved them
>>151277604>>151277627>Amaya looking concerned as her best friend is psychically puppeteered by Lucy, who's hiding her mouth so no-one will see her mouthing the words coming out of Sue.Lucy must be stopped, by any means necessary.
>>151279304>All the times Paulo was Mike's sole support don't count because he threw Mike's mouseok
>>151279304As >>151278764 and >>151278779 imply, he's got a prime opportunity here to start doing just that.I'll add to it that if he caves to the peer pressure Lucy's holding over his head (assuming the description of the next page is correct) then it's not entirely his fault here even if he does fail. I hope he doesn't, but I doubt we have enough pages left for him to pull through.Daisy's a bit of a wild card here, though. Maybe she can be the extra push he needs.
>>151279356Do the needful Amaya :D. Lucy must be stopped!
>>151279296
>>151277657>give her spaceLol. David didn't get her back into the cafeteria by "giving her space" Sue, she woulda stayed out there forever if it was up to you. Now Lucy falls into Sue's lap and she starts roleplaying as Lucy's strongest warrior again, but her one and only strategy is still to sit on her fat ass doing nothing. She sucks so bad I hope Lucy destroys her.
>>151279410Who says she needs eyes?
>>151279431peak
>>151279383Oh, let me try!>the times Paulo actually tries to act like a friend to Mike mean something when he'll turn around and help sabotage Mike's date out of impotent spite
>>151278293That' some great art, and it sums this chapter up pretty well.
>>151279392>then it's not entirely his fault here even if he does failI mean, it still would be his fault. Instead of owning up to his words, this would be Paulo bitching out. Understandable, but still his own choice.
>>151279431pure cinema
>>151279320My favorite is the psychotic one
>>151279501I like the first one in that lineup. It's almost kind of sultry.
>>151279431I chuckled
>>151279383Shitting on Maulo to indirectly shit on Paulo is nothing new in these threads.Everything bad he has ever done is all premeditated evil on par with Lucy's exploitation, while ignoring all the evidence that when it really comes down to it they are friends with a rivalry at worst and they both enjoy each other's company. While Paulo's reflexive hostile bravado was basically the only thing keeping him from a depressive spiral of his own pre-Paisy (and when they all graduate it's probable Paulo goes down that spiral anyway IMO), he doesn't enjoy seeing Mike genuinely hurt the way those people imply. Lucy, on the other hand....
>>151279431Put some animated static in James' speech bubbles
>>151278907Paulo turning it around on her by quoting this panel would be hilarious
>>151279470What part of "not entirely" did you think meant "entirely not?">>151279431>mouthless AmayaNice touch.
>>151279564I'm pointing out that it is, in fact, entirely his fault. Having to face personal consequences doesn't absolve him in this scenario.
>>151279431>Lucy: "Shit, he's starting to wake up. Better yank the chain again."
>>151279450Oh, yeah, you've reminded me about the date. It exists, which means Mike cannot harm himself or dissapear at the end of this chapter. otherwise Paulo wou;dn't be able to suggest the idea.
lol check the trash thread
>>151278434she doesnt want to be directly at fault. Augustus did the recent stunt of his own accord. If Paulo cut Mike off without checking with Lucy first then she would have been fine
>>151278314A many year long case study on one woman (the authors) mental decline and the need to restore asylums.
>>151279431>Puppet strings on yellow girl cat>Mouthless mute cat>Faceless yellow boy cat>Eldritch horror meme dog.Nice.
>>151279616I'm certain it helped that Lucy just got finished convincing herself that Mike is fucking awful and David, through the power of memes, convinced Lucy the table would in fact take her back over Mike. She really did leave gray cat back there without a second glance after that.
>>151279431>>151279546The only words that are legible throught the static should be "fast" and "run". Not in a ominous way, of course, it's simply the only things he seems to care about!
>>151278859no, but somehow the fag route would be better than anything with lucy.
>>151277704>Why would she bring that up?
>>151277604> Paulo rapes Sue to avenge Mike's honor.Looks like caring about Mike is a sin.
>>151277636Oh wow, so a part of her still cares about Mike. I don't know what "Paulo said" is supposed to mean.
>>151279269>I swear the comic seems to move in rhythm to her mental stabilityIm convinced it actually is. The writing and delusion she seems to have is just so bad it cannot be faked.
>>151279587Your whole argument is missing the fact that him saying something like that should actually ingratiate him to Lucyspace. The "consequences" are neutral to positive for everything but his friendship with Mike (who isn't there and doesn't ever need to know) since everyone loves Lucy so much.I get losing your place in the convoluted mess that is BCB, but these aren't even "consequences" unless you believe Paulo genuinely cares about Mike.
>>151278434Because if she asks him the onus is on her for itShe let Augustus do his thing because it absolves her of responsibility despite it being exactly what she wants She's letting the rest of the table throw Mike away without saying a word because it's what she wantsShe's throwing Paulo's words back at him now because it's what she wants and now the responsibility lies with Paulo to either say he didn't mean it (which gives her further ammunition down the road) or gets him to shut up and sit down of his own free will without having to tell him to do anything or make it her action that made him do itThis is classic manipulation
>>151279682>Oh wow, so a part of her still cares about MikeThis is no joke: You have the worst sense media literacy I have seen.
>>151279702>unless you believe Paulo genuinely cares about MikeAre you high?
>>151279702airing it should help to appease lucyspace, yeahthe ultimatum is basically lucy going "us or him" more than "me or him," it's just that the "us" is subordinate to lucy's desires
>>151279614why? instead of being vague just say it
>>151279431It's insane how fast BCB would be propelled from "trashfire" to "pure kino" if it was a surreal horror story
>>151279794A couple threads ago we had people bring up that this would work great as a World of Darkness scenario
>>151279710Previously I have said that Lucy is not manipulative, but rather self-deceptive and kind of a blind retard. But you make a strong counter-argument. The thinly-veiled threat/ultimatum is hard to see any other way, unless she's just that self-righteously delusional.
>>151279614Those boys in there, they are getting mpregged!
>>151279835I know, right? What's up with that?
>>151279587>>151279730if he doesn't care about mike except to shit on him this isn't really "personal consequences"mike being alone outside shouldn't matter to him, it's not paulo getting shit on after allnot sure why this would be difficult to grasp - it makes paulo look like shit to the readers, but not to his other friends who don't like mike for whatever reason at the momentwork on your separation of doylist and watsonian character analysis
>>151279804... fuck Lucy does act just like a cammy.
>>151279853>if he doesn't care about mike except to shit on himAgain, are you high?
>>151279804Once again as per >>151278606 I lament how little I know about WoD lore
how long would the strongest BCB fan last in a beam clash with the weakest Homestuck fan?
>>151279682The things people say about you are starting to make sense
>>151279886nothing
>>151279431Why'd you repost the page OP already posted?
>>151279853Don't engage, he'll start thinking you're me or some shit. An insult with no substance is as much of a tacit admission he's got no rebuttal as you're gonna get.
>>151279876White Wolf wiki is a pretty good place to start if you're interested Just pick a splat (Vampire, Mage, and Werewolf are the Big 3) and go from there
>>151279886homestuck weirdo loses immediately
>>151278314Basic anime romcom tropes and archetypes, but with cartoon cats:>Hand-to-the-back-of-the-head "ehehe" generic protag-kun who everyone finds attractive despite him being kind of boring>Tsundere "main" love interest who covers her insecurity with aggression and sarcasm>"Rival" love interest who's distant, somewhat mysterious, and impossibly beautiful>Rival guy who's a huge dick, but has boyish charm and loyalty to make him still likable>Childhood friend who is blatantly destined to loseThese archeypes have their standard dynamics, then everything falls apart really fast: the "rival" love interest confesses first and locks down the protag-kun, the tsundere's aggression and sarcasm drives protag-kun to resent her, protag-kun starts to hate all his friends for being "unsupportive", tsundere falls into despair and tries to kill herself.But then things continue despite the dynamics being pretty wrecked, leading to the classic anime romcom flaw of dragging things on and back-and-forth until it's implausible these characters would still consider each other friends. It also dropped the levity a while back and now all feels very mean-spirited and bitter.
>>151279913So basically you're saying I need to spell it out for two people who both made the same basic mistake?Ok.The premise of the argument is flawed. Ergo, the entire analysis is flawed. The idea that Paulo does not care about Mike is not only unsupported within the comic, it is directly contradicted on both today and yesterday's page.I don't know what else you could have possibly expected.
>>151279918Is one of them heavy on the psychic lore or is it spread between all three? Seems like it'd be the latter, or at least split between Mage/Vampire, just based on my assumptions about what those two entail from the names.
>>151279804Would Lucy as a Tremere or Marauder work better? The difference being if she's a vampire then she's mentally dominating everyone on purpose, but if she's a rogue mage then she genuinely believes everything she says and subconsciously makes those thoughts a reality
>>151279861She certainly acts like some flavor of vampire, anyway. A parasite, if you will.
>>151279957Vampire and Mage definitely have the most in terms of psychics, though usually they're treated as separate from the other supernatural entities, being more of a mortal thinghttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Psychic_(WOD)
>>151279431Good use of the reactions Paulo was having already, godamn. 10/10
>>151279835The "boys" in this comic act so fucking girly they might as well get pregnant.
>>151279966If she's a vampire I almost wanna say she'd be a Malkavian, with the table being her ghouls that are starting to tune into the madness network or just affected by her dementia Marauder fits her pretty well as a mage unless you want her to be more sinister and have her be a Nephandi torturing her friends for amusement
Comic so good at gaslighting I almost forgot Mike made a roundabout of apologies and that was even his last interaction with Sue
>>151280029Malkavian better describes Mike if only because of his uncanny predictions. He's tuned into the madness network, clearly, and it can only be some form of mental illness that keeps him chained to the worst characters in the comic.
>>151279835Well let's hope at least they fucking love their kids!
>>151280067>I almost forgotVeronica working her magic, I see.
>>151279853It's crazy how retarded some Mikefags are that they can read 50 chapters of Paulo looking out for Mike and cry about "Paulo only ever shits on Mike :(" because he isn't glazing Mike 24/7Literal toddler brain
>>151279951I want you to scroll up and read the chain that leads to >>151279702 again. Mainly >>151279209and >>151279304, really.>>151279702 is referring to assertions that Paulo is exclusively an abusive shit to Mike, and presenting that as a ridiculous statement that requires one to NOT >believe Paulo genuinely cares about Mikedespite all the evidence to the contrary.TL;DR: in order for this to be consequences for Paulo, the premise of >>151279209 and >>151279304 (and a lot of what Paulo hate boils down to in these threads, considering how outdated most of it is at this point) isn't tenable.The Polo Show ended years ago, anons are still seething about it to the detriment of their reading comprehension.
Alejandro was a Hunter all along, playing the role of a sleezy gangstalker to get close enough to Lucy to end her tyranny. Unfortunately her thralls' programming kicked in and he was unsuccessful
i will engage anyway>>151279951fucking hell you're dumb
We're so close maulosisters
>>151280106He'll be backHe just has to see if he can cut a deal with the local Garou pack
>>151278944Lucy is a cruel and arbitrary demigod - taking people's eyes is one of her favorite games.
>>151280093Look at the light in his eyes.
I miss Abraham's old design, he always reminded me of a little bunnyrabbit. Now he's so generic and blends in with the rest.
>>151280119NOT FLINCHING
>>151280100I never said Paulo didn't care about Mike. You tilted at your own windmill and declared it was sitting on my property. For someone who likes to get all huffy about the perceptive abilities of others, your own are sorely lacking.
Polo The Manwhore only cares about getting his dick wet. Years of Paulo show and people still don't get it
>>151280167It's okay if it leads to my ship though
>>151280100Hey now, I didn't say Paulo want a possibilty or that he was just malicious, but AS A PARTNER Paulo first needs to work on himself to avoid the character flaws that make him more like Lucy, not because he needs to be perfect but because he needs to be different from her to give Mike something worth going for. You put the black and white retoric there yourself
>>151280160What if you wanted to be a pussy and claim>I didn't say Paulo doesn't care about Mike!but anyone could scroll up and read you saying >I get losing your place in the convoluted mess that is BCB, but these aren't even "consequences" unless you believe Paulo genuinely cares about Mike.That would be rough, could you imagine being so spineless on an anonymous imageboard?
>>151280093I don't know if these two anons are Mikefags or not, they started shitting up the last thread too until the dude they were shitflinging with wisely peaced out.I think they just fucking despise Paulo.Maybe I'd understand holding a grudge for years after the Paulo Show ended if I'd spent years reading it, too, but I don't share that trauma with them.
I can't believe there was a time we expected James to save Mike from Lucy's bullshit.
>>151277604>upset Amaya seeming worried about SueListen, all I'm saying that if we're getting a table schism, then there should by rights be a comedy character on both sides, and since David is locked in for team Lucy, team Mike should get Amaya. It's time for the great Sue/Amaya breakup.
>>151280211Are you the same anon I seriously responded to and are now throwing a tantrum, or the noisy little remora that keeps trying to leech some attention? I need to know in order to give a proper response or continue ignoring.
>>151280223How did he go from this to groveling to her kek. He's in for a rude awakening when he really starts to hang around the Lucy universe.
>>151280211Yes, as >>151279702, that would be a contradiction... if I was also >>151280160 and had been arguing with myself, lol.
>>151278090Mike deserves the biggest harem.>>151278115Add her to the Paulo harem.
What is this schizophrenic nonsense
>>151280223I tried to warn you. Nothing truly good ever happens to scarf cat. James was always a trap (and not the good kind).
>>151280263Add Paulo to the Mike harem.
>>151278574The problem with this is that subreddit creator is pretty much dead. It’s been two or three years or even longer, also the subreddit is just that an unofficial thing. It never was Suitcase to begin with, and Reddit is a place you can do whatever.The thing about redditors is that they have enough sense on the idea to not fuck this up. Literally one person did the mike hit Lucy and it got downvoted to oblivion. So if it literally is just yapping, I don’t think Suitcase in his wonderful ego would say anything. As much as Suitcase is an insufferable Aussie retardo fuck, he’s also sensible at the very least to not rock the boat.He’s doing so much with the discord and the website his midget of a wife owns.
>>151280238Amaya isn't a comedy character tho, she's an offscreen enforcer
>>151280029being embraced explains the mood shift between pre jump and post jump Lucy and possibly adds some extra layers to her "I NEVER FUCKING WANTED THIS" outburst if it's revealed the siring was forced. If she's a Malkavian her own mental illness is oozing out of her like cognitive radiation strongly enough to interfere with the blood bond she has with the ghouls at the lunch table
>>151278148The slapstick tone threw me off when I first read the story and when Mike screamed at her and the flashbacks were shown, that and how I related it to my personal experiences hit me like a brick that Lucy is actually a fucking asshole, not irredeemable and with a hintof empathy but still largely an abuse justifier nonetheless.
Why is Taeshi treating "I'll stop being his friend if you want" like some kind of shocking secret? Paulo already TRIED to kick Mike out and he only stopped because Abbey distracted him.
>>151280244>He's in for a rude awakeningThat's the thing, anon, I don't think James is "waking up" ever again...
>>151280349What a good friend!
>>151279245In the original Mike is still kind of flailing to deny the accusation, and being a real jerk to Abbey in the process. The idea that Mike was "playing a part in getting on Lucy's good side" was already there, as was him feeling like he had no choice due to Lucy's dependence. I don't think the rewrite introduced the idea of "Mike giving people false hope", it just made it more explicit.The rewrite feels way more stilted and awkward, though. And it takes the emphasis off of Mike feeling "responsible" for Lucy, instead it has him resentful and wishing he "could" cut her off.
>>151280349Well, she is an idiot who can't remember her own written story. Even so, it's possible Lucy's bullshit on the matter is not meant to be a hanging threat. Rather, it's her way of testing Paulo's loyalty or just a parting jab to injure him with as punishment.
>>151280349It's so funny he's saying that to his future girlfriend
>>151280298>subreddit creator is pretty much dead.Also worth mentioning that they aren't even on the moderator team anymore (which is only two people), and were never a very active account in the first place.
>>151280364Abbey was being totally unreasonable and Mike had started to see the downsides of friendship with Lucy and recontexualizing it. Anyone who reads the material leading up to that confrontation and then what comes soonafter would see as much clear as day.
>>151280067Remember that the last thing Sue said to Mike was "Why are you sad?" followed by "Hey, I didn't mean..." (in response to Mike's self-pity)BCB's continuity is so flimsy it's ridiculous.
>>151280359I have zero clue what Taeshi meant by that page. She doesn't bring it up again except Mike vaguely refers to it in High Expectations. Is it supposed to be that>Mike's friends will randomly treat him like absolute garbage and then act like nothing happened?Because that'd be creepy and weird. Maybe it's that she impulsively brought Lucy back too soon as she was only supposed to hit this story beat once so she's just awkwardly ignoring it.
>>151280465I'm sure the fact that Paulo whirled on Mike in favor of Lucy significantly soured whatever budding friendship the two had started to develop, in Mike's eyes.
>>151278574it's a bit crazy how they want total control of their community
>>151280349Crazy paulo is so fucking hot
>>151278115Lol never, Taeshi doesn't want to actually do interesting stuff.
>>151278115Never ever. Taeshi talked about how she thought about having Paulo run into his mom and sister at the mall over christmas but decided "lmao that's not realistic" so she didn't do it, and Paulo has no reason to seek them out so he won't.
>>151278115bci
>>151280589>but decided "lmao that's not realistic"As if that's proven to be any serious barrier.
>>151280349Remember this childish display of anger is because Daisy said behind his back that he didn't take her seriously and could be mean for no reason
>>151280652I dislike sadsack crybaby pity party Paulo immensely, but it's nothing compared to rice paper thin skinned Paulo. What a stupid, pointless arc.
>>151279501>4 for total psychotic>1 or 3 for realism (her most likely canon reaction)>2 for the 'im tired of your bs' lookThose are all great!
>>151280415Abbey was being overly confrontational about it and it wasn't his business, but Mike getting physical with him even as he says "let go of me!" is still Mike being a jerk.And I have read the surrounding context. My point isn't that Abbey was right to say Mike is being hypocritical or leading Lucy on, but that the insinuation was already there in the original, just not as explicit. At that point it's clear Mike is stuck in a no-win situation, and even though he could maybe have made "better" choices, there were no "good" choices.
>>151280700It's hilarious that people had already accepted Paulo's reasons for being upset as plausible before then but Taeshi had to "explain some glaring plot holes" and made a chapter about Paulo being so bad at taking criticism that he had to go and have sex with Rachel to stop being so mad, turning it into a petty tantrum. Another golden example of Taeshi fixing her favorite characters for the worse
>>151280589It's not hard to come up with a believable setup...>Paulo's dad gets child support from her because she didn't want custody over Paulo at all and was shortsighted enough to think it was worth it to get with whatever guy she was probably cheating on him with back then.>She's financially struggling with her new family and can't afford it anymore so comes to talk him into refusing it.>Paulo's dad tries to keep him out of the house that day but he finds out about it by snooping around or maybe one of his friends sees his mom and texts him about it or something idk pick any reason out of a hat.Boom, there's you're fucking setup. Gimme ten dollars.
>>151280756Sadly it seems her life turned better the moment she dropped her kid like a wet towel
>>151280198That's a fair qualification, but people bringing up stuff like "despite making up less than 13% of the population, Paulos are responsible for 40% of Michael abuse" are usually being deliberately uncharitable to Paulo in these threads, selectively forgetting that the more recent his crashout, the more likely it's a result of yet another inexplicable reset of his character development.One dude tried to say Paulo was worse to Mike than James last thread, and that's not even true during the worst of Paulo's behavior - James flipped on a dime and followed through with writing Mike off instantly on the words of a practical stranger. James has put himself in a whole different category of being a little shit, in a MUCH smaller sample size of appearances than Paulo.>Paulo first needs to work on himself to avoid the character flaws that make him more like LucyI agree, and there is some hope here since Paulo has been moving in that direction for a good while. He's almost kinda-sorta got a character arc!Until he resets again. Lucy's already got her finger over the button, you can see it in her eyes.One has to remember that BCB characterization does not operate on our mundane rules of causality and linear time.>>151280465With how much Paulo is sweating and the way his eyes look I think an interpretation that's charitable to Taeshi is that it's just meant to be an irrational crashout of his. Then again, there's really no telling. Might not have meant anything at all.
>>151280741Abbey wasn't being overly confrontational, he was blaming Mike for the same sort of cheater-cheater bullshit that he'd been getting hammered into his skull because he dared to be Lucy's friend and dating Sandy at the same time. People were treating that as some sort of horrible sin, and so Mike finally had enough and lashed out. It wasn't the right thing to do, but Abbey was being far worse about it than "overly confrontational."As for the rest, alright, that's fair enough. I do appreciate that the insinuation has not come purely out of nowhere, though it's being handled with all the narrative grace of a flying brick fired out of a cryostasis tube.
>>151280753It was still incredibly petty of Paulo even before Taeshi made it even worse. Daisy sure didn't know that Abbey had hurt and threatened Paulo and picked the worst time to finally stand up for her boyfriend. But Paulo still treated her terribly until...I forget, was Daisy actually the one to apologize to Paulo rather than the other way around? I remember being very unimpressed with the resolution.
>>151280756I think it's more satisfying if she's entirely successful and happy without Paulo, since every indication we have in >>151278115 is that this is the case.
>>151280854Wasn't that when Lucy (ugh) forced Paulo to attend Daisy's birthday party (which she didn't attend herself) to apologize?
>>151280753This shit is why we need a record of retcons. People coming into the comic at different times have mutually incompatible timelines for BCB in their heads - and a lot of the time neither is any less incomprehensible than the other....Or the newer one is substantially worse.
>>151280465>picWhen I first read this I think I assumed it referred to the cheater mob. Come to think of it, Sue also choked him with his scarf. He is not lying here.>Mike's friends will randomly treat him like absolute garbageIt's not random though, they do it for Lucy.>then act like nothing happenedYeah unfortunately by the time Mike decides he's going to be pissed about the things his friends do, they've all gotten over it. And since he was so unpleasant now they have justification for doing the same shit they always did.>>151280741>Mike getting physical with him even as he says "let go of me!"Things were already physical; even as Abbey says that, Mike has to catch the second punch of the confrontation from him, and that's after Abbey shoved him twice. Then Mike yells at him for one panel and the fight is over. I think Mike let him off easy desu.
>>151278426Good work anon
So since Mike was able to defy Lucy at one point, does that mean he isnt as deep in Lucy space or has all the bullshit sunk him deeper into it as punishment?
>>151280943I swear, a good chunk of what happens between Daisy and Paulo outright hurts the notion of Paisy on the conceptual level. The whole "boo hoo my ego stfu Daisy!" barely registered for me after I saw Daisy fall in love with Paulo over a milkshake and the fact he managed to stop shitting on anime for five minutes.
>>151281112Defiance of the Lucyspace brings agony, much like defiance of any demiurge
>>151281114Tae just can't write romance
>>151281114For me it was the night of the race, Daisy seemingly upset leaves them and calls for her mom to pick her up, so you know she came with Paulo and his car, and his reaction was one of "what's she upset about? *shrugs* oh well", and then you have him ask Lucy (he says because she can see through bullshit but how the dick does it even apply here) WHY is Daisy upset instead of asking her himself, and he lets that linger without a care, mostly avoiding her now even, until she explodes at Lucy. And now that it's clear she's not upset at him and there's no risk he takes action?
>>151281112I think it's notable that, should Mike finally have broken by the end of this chapter, he only did so after Davidspace-augmented Lucyspace warped reality so hard that it created a localized singularity centered upon scarf cat. A black hole of narrative bullshit, inescapable, in which the basic rules of reality ceased to apply. Mike's pathetic, and a cuck, but fucking hell can he take a lot of punishment.
>>151280854Daisy apologized for being "mean" to Paulo after he gave her the cold shoulder. That entire arc really took an interesting character growth arc and tanked it.>>151281114So much of that arc should have been a come to Jesus moment for Paulo's jerkass attitude while Daisy is finally gets past her non-confrontational nature and how that can inadvertently harm people around her. It could have been great stressing that they put each other on broken pedestals and they only start to fall for one another after that, but we had to get back to Lucy bullshit, for some reason.
>>151281252>Mike's pathetic, and a cuck, but fucking hell can he take a lot of punishment.For all we knnow the cuck bullshit was Lucyspace making sandy cheat. If she can puppet people to glaze her after 10 seconds of talking, what to say she cant puppet them to do other things? For all we know the reason Mikes family is breaking is lucy space.
>>151281305And now both Paulo and Daisy are fawning all over each other (but they can't let Abbey know :O it's so important and definitely not a super boring plotpoint that will end with a wet fart when Abbey either doesn't care or gets talked out of his anger five minutes later). Ignoring all the obvious fundamental problems that poison their ship right out of the gate, while Taeshi assures her readers that there's actually no problems on the horizon. No potential drama in the one relationship that sorely needs it.
>>151281361Even if the shit with Sandy was overblown, Mike's doomed to be with Lucy. So all he'll ever get is Paulo's sloppy seconds
>>151278671I'm still waiting for her shitty version of School Days to be honest. I know that's what all this fuckery has been building up to.>>151278655Didn't he already fuck Lucy once in the dressing room? Wasn't that a retcon? I remember anons INSISTING that didn't happen then Taeshi made it fucking canon, lmaaaaaaaao.
>>151280826Abbey didn't call Mike a "cheater", though. His accusation was that Mike played favorites with Lucy/Sandy and played dumb towards obvious problems, and he had a point. That's why Mike got so mad; he knew he wasn't cheating, but Abbey's accusation hit closer to home.
Proceed.
Commmmmmmmmeeeeeeennnnnnttttttsssssss???????? I posted this in another group somewhere, lol
>>151279431Eyy it's a call back to the glitch Abbey edit I made. Cool coool
>>151281510Maulosisters...
>>151281510Oh nononono
>>151281510>can we avoid the dramaShe fucking brought the drama over in a chinese takeout box, jesus christ I hate sue.
>>151281510Why does she even care? Why does Lucy care that Paulo gives a shit about Mike, she already has her teddy bear and now she has her spot at the table too.Sue looks weirdly defeated or tired.
>>151281361>should i have Lucy genuinely improve as a person and thus win Mike away from a worthy rival through personal merit?>urgh but selfish asshole--er, I mean super lovable and interesting Lucy is so much more fun to write!>lightbulb>i'll just rewrite Sandy as a vapid moron who cheats on Mike and has zero redeeming qualitiesGenius, Taeshi. Pure genius. I'm sure it will be very satisfying when Lucy wins her epic battle against a strawman stuffed with bargain bin tissue paper instead.
>>151281540>Sue looks weirdly defeated or tiredThat's her natural state
>>151281474Anons insisted it didn't happen because it made zero sense based on all prior context. Then Taeshi decided it did and accidentally(?) portrayed Paulo as a one pump chump who never noticed he was fucking a dead fish and then bragged about grabbing her boob for some reason.
>>151281510Well it's nice to see Daisy actually supporting Paulo's actions even if it shows she can feel the pressure of Lucyspace
>>151281510the chapter ends in three pages. there's no chance paulo is going to visit mike
>>151281531Sue looks like she's already crushed. Her free will supplanted, or deep down she has to keep up appearances but knows in her heart the second Lucy came to that table all sense of normalcy and stability was doomed.
>>151281540>It's Lucy. You know she needs space.Well this reads completely different than I thought. Maybe Sue is on to Lucy being mentally ill?
>>151281579I guess it could end with him approaching grey kot
>>151281510i hate lucy i hate lucy i hate lucy!!!!!!!!
>>151281579I have hope for paulo. I really think he might take Lucy's little potshot for the spiteful bullshit it is. He hasn't given a shot about Lucy returning yet even when she wasn't being agitating
>>151281583It's that fucking sesame street comic where they're on a canoe singing happily and Hitler fucking joins them and they all look defeated
>>151280119This chapter was such bullshit - it was like meant to be about Paulo angst about his mom and sister then turned to Paulo is pissy because "Nobody loves him" and was the last hail-mary of Maulo before locking in Paisy.These two made more sense romantically then anyone else - but of course it was just more stupid fucking queer-baiting on Taeshi's part where its like "OH NO, Mike will totes kiss and consider James but fuck off Paulo we're platonic as hell."
>>151281510>Alright, I'll spare Paulo just this once.>Just kidding! 「L U C Y S P A C E」
>>151281496Abbey literally accused Mike of harboring two girlfriends. His main point might have been to accuse Mike of somehow ignoring Daisy (which was frankly illegitimate and a product of Abbey's own perceived inability to do anything), but he absolutely made the accusation. That's what Mike got angry over, not this idea that he's being neglectful.
>>151281540>Sue looks weirdly defeated or tired.She's once again failed her save against Lucy's geas, of course she looks sad about it.>>151281583In seriousness, Sue knows on some level that Lucy is spiteful and malicious. Sue doesn't know the full extent of it, but she has seen the way Lucy and Mike snipe at each other, and I think she's scared of getting caught in the crossfire (again), since being insulted by her "friends" really bothers her.
>>151281510>Wow Paulo you decided to trade in Mike for Lussy, how awful!>Not at all like I who tossed out Mike for David's dickI swear to god if Taeshi has James hop up on his high horse after the shit he pulled.
>>151281623Its a storywriting L from Paulos perspective, yes, but its also a legitimate ongoing trend for Mike that every single friendship he has is contingent on trying to fuck him. He deserved to finally acknowledge it. And Paulo crying and hugging him over it was nice. Paulos visible disappointment when Mike friend zones him was legitimately kind of heartbreaking though. Paulo deserved to play hard to get, even just this once.
>>151281510What a complete and utter cunt. At least Sue doesn't know the whole story and is probably just assuming what she wants to believe as per usual.
>>151281540She's a vindictive cunt and wants him to suffer
>>151281692Then go kick him in the dick isntead of this passive aggressive hogshit. He wont even fight back now.
>>151281540It's a BPD thing. She wants everyone to play their part in a psychodrama to prove Mike Was Wrong, everyone would stay with her at the table and leave him alone and then she'd be happy and not crazy at all. Now that perfect moment is falling apart so she's going to get mean.
>>151281709>Then go kick him in the dick isntead of this passive aggressive hogshitBut why do it herself when she can manipulate others to do it, and then say "I never fucking wanted this" if pressed about it?
>>151281709A persistent theme of BCB is "words can hurt just as much as violence" so this is probably a knife-twist for her.
Wait, how many months are we after the ketchuping now?
>>151281709Nah, see this way she can pretend to herself that her hands are clean of everything After all, she didn't force anyone to ditch Mike, they just chose her over him
>>151281745It was last week
>>151281510Much like Augustus eating shit I'm sure this will be immediately undone, but it is a little satisfying that Lucy watches Mike's prediction appear to start coming true immediately after her big win. I wonder when the high of getting one over on Mike will be outweighed by the misery of being stuck at a table with people you do not like and need to emotionally blackmail into staying.
>>151281540>Why does Lucy care that Paulo gives a shit about MikeYou have to understand, Lucy ultimately sees everything in black and white. If she forgets that for a little while, she inevitably reminds herself of the "fact" there are only two kinds of people in the world: The ones on her side, and the enemy. Mike has just been (re)declared the enemy in no uncertain terms. Lucy already distrusts Paulo because he dared to tire of her antics on top of her stupid alleyway dream hangup. He wanted to make sure Mike is alright. Paulo is on the enemy's side and Lucy's either giving him one last chance to redeem himself or is throwing a knife at his back as he leaves.
>>151281681Yeah the bad part is Taeshi recycles this plot-line again and again and again and again.Mike kissed Daisy then decided NAH - okay fine, time to forever sink that ship.Mike kissed James for fujo-baiting, NAH - James actually is suddenly in love with David.Mike kissed Lucy so Taeshi could masturbate furiously to her OTP, NAH - it's just baiting for more drama - let's reset status quo!Mike having the person he's spent the most time with, is the most emotionally close to and has had more setup and drama with anyoen else - plus the whole Paulo-gay arc that went nowhere, finally seeming like hey- maybe they don't get together but Paulo gets thrown a bone by Mike and they kiss for New Years as a goodbye to the ship... NAH - can't have that.Like what even is the fucking point of everything else?Its just mindless circling of the drain.>>151281510I really fucking hate Lucy.I mean Paulo is shit, pretty much all characters are.but Lucy still manages to be the biggest turd in the shit contest.
>>151281540Lucy literally kicked Mike in the nuts to shut him up, she doesn't need Paulo to go dig up what happened from him or find him beat up laying on the track. She's keeping her own narrative alive by turning his worry of Mike into a matter of loyalty and a personal problem instead of giving Mike a breathing chance yet
>>151281578I kind of wonder if Daisy's just trying to remain relevant here. Paulo was about to leave the table without her, right?
>>151281745A gazillion years, Lucyspace has frozen Roseville in an imperfect simulacra of the late 2000s. That's why attempts to pin down when things happened became vague and confusing at some point, everyone exists in a shifting eternal "Now"
>>151281772Guilt-tripping Paulo into staying in her circle so Mike will spiral harder and be more alone and suffer more because she has to twist the knife. Even though both have been horrible and this whole fucking subplot about Le-Cafeteria Table is super duper retarded.Lucy and Paulo are both awful and constantly contradict themselves, both constantly are wishy washy about Mike non-stop by the whims of Taeshi's constant mood shifts.They either worship the poor woobie and understand him like no other or want to see him crushed by a hydraulic press then fed into a wood-chipper and there is no in -between.
>>151281709Lucy wants to believe herself above such petty matters. Remember how she threw Mike's symbolic birthday gift into the trash and then played dumb? Lucy needs plausible deniability to maintain her own self-image.
>>151281776Nah, I think you can actually see it as her being supportive of Paulo or/and not wanting to be on her own in what just became a tense situation, she doesn't even like Lucy that much and Sue is making the situation too tense. It however follows Mike's rant in a twisted way, "Daisy will come to me and Paulo follow" turned into "Paulo will come to me and Daisy will follow" and Lucy saw it straight away and decided to stop it from starting
>>151281726And so Lucy's very own Stalin-esque purge of the table begins.
>>151277604>>151277627>>151281510>Paulo, you need to get out of there ASAP, the whole table is contaminated.>Don't fall for her provocations, she's just buying time until Lucyspace can latch on to you too. Make a run for it if you don't want to end up a simpering devotee
>>151281851>Inb4 Lucy starts trying to sink Paisy
>>151281510Also side note, why the fuck does Paulo need Lucy's permission to check on Mike?That's some crazy shit.But she's about to say something to guilt-trip him into staying as well.. fucking lmao.
>>151281858As foretold, Lucy can't hold attention on her own unless there's a weekly witch hunt going on because her only character trait is being a victim
>>151281858>Paulo leaves because Lucy's a cunt>Daisy leaves because Paulo's her BF>James leaves because David won't even humor him if Lucy's around>Sue tries to cheer Lucy up by shitting on David>Lucy seethes at Sue that David's done more for her than Sue ever did (by having a massive schlong)>Amaya screams at the top of her lungs at Lucy for the first time in forever for making Sue cry>Lucy gets the table to herself until some other kids take it over and tell her to sit against the wall or something like the other losersWould be kino.
>>151281816To Paulo's credit, the allegedly disastrous double-date has not yet poisoned him toward Mike through what I must assume will either be titanic levels of bullshit, or Taeshi falling back upon the absolute laziest strategy possible and just having Mike sperg out again despite it making zero sense after what just happened.
>>151281901There was a possibility of that when Augustus was still liable to get into shit for forcing Lucy into this whole situation, but we already saw him getting Rachel's lifeless body as a prize so with a secured Teddy Bear Lucy doesn't really need Paulo anymore
>>151281901>It's not an explosive double date because of an emotive spat>It's explosive because Lucy keeps trying to Wile E. Coyote the entire thingWouid be the funniest option.
>>151281851Lucy getting increasingly frustrated and paranoid as Mike's prediction starts coming *kind of* true would be a neat touch.
>>151281890>Paulo, I want you to have absolute ball slapping sex with Mike and blast his prostate until he paints the bed white while I watch and jerk myself off.
>>151281962>It really will be the second suicide attempt
>>151281902>why the fuck does Paulo need Lucy's permission to check on Mike?Because if Paulo won't obey Lucy like a good ego support pet, then of what use is he?
>>151281966>Implying Paulo "hugs make me cry" Somali would top Mike "sperg rage" Graycat
>>151281993Honestly nobody ought to feel bad if she did. She's barely even living as it is. She exists solely to bring others down. Does she have fun ever, is she ever happy, does she even try? Outside of spawning in to ruin Mike's day
>>151281942Imagine if Lucy was so spiteful that she lifted the No Daisy ban on Augustus.
>>151281510He could easily throw it back in her face by simply saying, "We've all said things we regret," and keep walking. He won't and will instead bend the knee to his overlord White Cat because Taeshi's insane.
>>151282025I would hope even Augustus would find that in poor taste but who knows
>>151281902I don't know but it makes me laugh how fast they all adapted to Lucy taking over the table, almost like Taeshi forgot they're supposed to like her and not fear her
>>151282020Paulos like the only one with experience here. Except for Lucy, but she just starfished it probably. Its his dick that will cure Mike
>>151281650Anon, the whole point of that scene was to point out that Mike WAS playing favorites and playing dumb. Mike got defensive but couldn't actually deny anything, because Abbey shot down his excuses by pointing out that Mike never thinks he does anything wrong, but he DOES pay an inordinate amount of attention to Lucy and/or Sandy, at the expense of being ignorant of what's going on around him and with his friends.Like I said, it wasn't Abbey's business and it was overly confrontational for him to bring it up, but he was still right.
>>151282056I can allow they're excited to have Lucy back and aren't asking too many questions yet. Less so the fact that James has suddenly joined the table, out of nowhere, alongside her, and no one seems to have noticed how strange that is. His sour attitude can be explained as them assuming Mike sperged out again, but I'm not giving Taeshi credit for something that's only a mere possibility.
>>151282068Experience that didn't do the trick, Paulo needs to be tenderly wrecked
>>151282025Augustus FEARS /ourcat/He won't touch Daisy. He would die
>>151282103Mike would also benefit from awakening his inner dom.
>>151282093Abbey was taking out his own personal frustrations on Mike. Mike did pay Sandy a lot of attention...because she's his girlfriend. He did pay Lucy a ton of attention...because she *does* need him. Abbey here is treating Mike like a villain for not picking up on Daisy's needs even though she's never actually needed him before. Instead of telling Mike, "hey, Daisy's not doing too great, have you noticed?" Abbey comes in swinging with a baseball bat. Mike doubts himself constantly, so it's not as if his hesitation should be counted as proof that Abbey is right.
>>151282107>Lucy pushes Augustus into going after Daisy much the way he manipulated fat cat back when she was still cute catImagine the kino
>>151281761>Lucy ultimately sees everything in black and whiteIt's the BPD special. Taeshi even nearly admits as much: >>151279662
>>151282051>Woah woah, driving someone to suicide with made up claims is one thing but I cut the line at homewrecking>Since today
>>151281952>the "literal bomb" anon last thread was right but it's Lucy setting off the explosives
Can someone shoot up this table already? Preferably when Daisy, Amaya and Paulo aren't there. Sue gets one in the leg.
>>151281540because Lucy wants Mike to suffer. I thought that was overly clear
>>151282146Paulo would benefit from someone being tender to him and letting him put his guard down (and ass up) and Mike would benefit from taking the lead and be trusted about caring for someone else's ass (literally). And then they can cuddle, it's a win win
>>151282235I think she wants Paulo to suffer as well.
>>151282093Anon, I know this may be hard for you to understand due to the autism but Abbey does not have a point, this is just him being peanut butter and jelly because Daisy doesn't give two shits about him, only Mike. He's guilt tripping Mike for not listening to Paulo's story because Lucy was screaming in his ear and causing him pain for god's sake.
>>151282153>Mike did pay Sandy a lot of attention...because she's his girlfriend. He did pay Lucy a ton of attention...because she *does* need him.That's Mike's standard excuse, but Abbey correctly points out that Mike is acting like he can't be a supportive friend without "pursuing" someone. Which is Mike's ongoing problem: he cannot find the middle ground between "crush" and "acquaintance". And Abbey doesn't just bring up Daisy as an example, he also points out that Mike had blown off what was going on with Paulo and Tess until it became a big issue.>Mike doubts himself constantlyHe didn't then, this is before he started getting all "I can't do anything right" - that tendency cropped up as Lucy started getting depressed and desperate.
>>151282256She wants him to suffer for wanting to help the one she wants to suffer most. I can only hope she is left completely alone by the end of her antics
>>151282224>Lucy dumps ice the BurgerTron fryers in a BDP rage>The only one who's still in the building is a handicapped SueGanbatte, Sue-chan!
>>151282256I don't think she cares for Paulo himself, but she's back to HER table and if she's to hang with all these people that want her there then they have to behave
>>151282290>That's Mike's standard excuseIt's also the truth.>but Abbey correctly points out that Mike is acting like he can't be a supportive friend without "pursuing" someoneNo? It's just Abbey being mad that Mike didn't notice Daisy's problems or underestimated them. Abbey massively overreacted and placed all of Daisy's wellbeing on Mike's shoulders. The shit with Paulo and Tess was likewise none of Mike's business.>He didn't thenMike agonized over whether or not he was in a relationship with Sandy despite never having intended to be, nor made any moves to further it. It was well established by that point that Mike over-worries.
I believe only psychotic people can side with Lucy at this point. She's beyond awful. Hopefully someone tells her off again at some point so she can try killing herself again since apparently that's all it takes for her
>>151282290>he also points out that Mike had blown off what was going on with Paulo and Tess until it became a big issue.Anon he's referring to THIS. Abbey's delusionally remembering Mike being bullied as Mike leading Lucy on because Abbey's a retarded simp.
>>151277604>Everyone in the comments saying that of course Sue is dumping Mike because he never apologized for being an ass to her in Halloween and before>I check and it turns out he did apologize for that and for hitting Paulo not that long ago.The readers seem to have a pretty selective memory of events
>>151282224>James sees Paulo and Mike sitting and talking, gets jealous, and goes around to lock the front door before dumping a bag of ice into the deep fryer and leaving through the back.>Meanwhile, Augustus himself has gotten Lucy's permission to pursue Daisy and has set up a complex false flag operation using a pipe bomb planted the night before so he can be the hero.>But Lucy has secretly used Augustus's phone to lure Alejandro into the burgertron as revenge against all who've "betrayed" her, and he shows up with a gun.
>>151282414Idk know how they forgot that. It was decently important to burying the hatchet with the others. Problem now is that it make it seems Sue is a bitch.
>>151282414Just post the page proof and btfo them
>>151282414Yes, that's how being a genuine BCB fan typically works. Selective amnesia is practically a requirement. Especially so for Lucystans, who will similarly defend other characters until they displease Lucy in some manner. They have to ignore the cognitive dissonance somehow.
>>151282413What a nice friend Lucy is, sharing some pep spirit with Mike :)
>>151282441>McCain raises his pen from the Death Note"All according to plan">T/N: plan means keikaku
>>151282414Did you forget they're a cult?
>>151282414I mean we still know Sue doesnt really think very highly of Mike. The bit a while ago with Mike being all "god im a terrible person", sue just quietly staring while he awaits a response, and Mike acknowledging her deafening silence as a tacit agreement, didnt that come even after they "made up"? She still thinks hes a tool
>>151282413I like how it's supposed to be held against Mike that he doesn't set his own chronic (male) bully as a high priority.
Daily reminder that Mike was and continues to be proven correct
>>151282503I can't remember if Mike ever sat with the Lunch Table again after that. Sure seemed like he hadn't with how Taeshi kept talking like it was a choice between outside with James or the track table with Felix and everyone else weren't an option for some reason.
>>151282520Yes and so he will suffer.
>>151282549You could argue Mike still felt too guilty to mingle with the table and Augustus confronting him inside would make it a problem with them, it's a Lucy related problem and he doesn't trust them to be impartial
>>151282549It would be very poetic if Mike's self-starvation came into play in a way that really fucked Lucy over>Alejandro shit happens>Mike's here to save the day>he soon collapses as his energy reserves bottom out>ruh roh
>>151282520It's an awful thing to say but people with untreated BPD really are emotional parasites You don't really know until you're around one for a while but they really do make everyone around them measurably worse off
>>151282413You're completely ignoring Mike dipping out of the conversation while Paulo is mid-sentence. Lucy and D*vid (hateful chosen of the demiurge) bullying him happens afterwards.>>151282374Anon, the whole crux of Mike's story and character is that he doesn't know how to be a supportive friend platonically, because he grew up with a tsundere hanging off his arm and girls constantly asking him out and that skewed his whole perspective. Abbey is fixating on Daisy like you say, but his underlying accusation that Mike is bad at putting in social legwork is accurate.
>>151282468Remembering everything isn't a good thing either, you can see from miles away how plot points are coming out of nowhere as reality changes around you and you feel like a lunatic rambling about how it doesn't make sense
>>151282588Personally I'd rather he just not notice her when she is in danger.
>>151282588>>151282610It'd be more he catches sight of her and immediately try to get the fuck out of dodge to not be near her 'for her own good'.
Still waiting on the next page of Consequences.
>>151282252hell yeah
>>151282646In a fucking ironic moment of destiny it seems Lucy has avoided them once more
>>151282598>He doesn't know how to be a supportive friend platonicallyThat really feels more like everyone else's problem. He seems pretty normal but everyone else keeps trying to force themselves on him and when he says no they kick him to the curb.
>>151282598I can't believe that Mike dipped from a conversation with his longtime bully to uh...focus on Daisy. Which he supposedly wasn't doing enough of.>but his underlying accusation that Mike is bad at putting in social legwork is accurateIf that was true, you'd have better examples instead of falling back on Abbey's accusations over and over again. And no, you are not allowed to broaden the scope according to "social legwork." You insisted this was about Mike neglecting his other friendships to the detriment of those individuals. I will have no shenanigans afoot on the matter.
>>151282670What do you mean?
>>151282598Wow, how awful of Mike to react the same way he always does to prep rally. Good thing he has Abbey around to memorize every little failing he does that Paulo himself wouldn't give a shit about. It sure doesn't make Abbey's rant that Mike should solve everyone's problems for them or he's a bad friend totally vindictive and crazy!
>>151282646Cancelled, his GPU died.
>>151282690That it's possible the artist stopped after Taeshi in bad faith accused her of using AI and Suit doubled down on the accusations, we haven't seen her in days. Or maybe fighting poses are hard to work on and it's taking way long to finish
>>151282646They got him
>>151282413>David and Lucy abuse Michael Autismcat's sensory issues by yellingand Paulo doesn't even pile on by yelling himself. he needs to work on his bullying game.
>>151282712Hi Oliver.>>151282725Well shit. I was curious as to how that one ended. I wish those nutsack and BPDemon would have stopped getting in their own way enough for a fancomic to flourish but I had a feeling that Conspirator was going to piss Taeshi off. Did they even have any proof?
>>151282791No but these days it's easy to get people whipped into a frenzy about AI just on an accusation
>>151282646I don't want to see that shit here
>>151282473kekbest part about this is from the scenario there's no telling whose name he wrotei'm betting it's James, getting killed in the crossfirealso if you drag Sue along as per >>151282356 you can twist this into a tragic attempt to forcefully wake up Sue. maybe that's why she keeps getting hurt within BCB reality, McCain keeps trying to pull her out and the hell dimension is rejecting his attempts at her expense
>>151282816So 0 proof? Weren't there WIPs posted in this thread a few weeks ago? Has Conspirator said anything to anyone or anything? I find it suspicious as fuck that they haven't posted anything since. Did they soft delete their account or something?
>>151282827Luckily nobody cares what you want you greasy cunt. Go fuck yourself
>>151282850You can easily ai wip stuff
Actually that makes so much sense those faces look so annoying. It's sovless
>>151282866Ok, if that's true then I guess the better question is, why would anyone bother to do that?
>>151282863It was off topic and had nothing to do with bcb. Why not just make a consequences thread if everybody wants to read it so much?
>>151282904It's literally a bcb fancomic, fuck off back into your cult chat bagfag
>>151282904>nothing to do with bcbWeird. I could have sworn it was a fan comic which is directly related to /bcb/. Why are you do against people discussing fan content? Sure seems better than this trainwreck of a chapter. If you don't like it slink back off to that shithole cult curated discord.
>>151282885To keep up with their fraudulent activities for as long as possible. That's the only reason why wip ai is made
>>151282904Hey there suitcaseHow's the wife?
>>151282850Drawing lines over already traced art isn't a WIP And not only were they not banned, Taeshi allowed them to finish their blatantly obvious traced comic yet nothing's been posted since.My favorite part of the obvious AI enshittification isn't even the mysterious six fingered hand, it's all the completely random shading and details>Lucy gains and loses shading at complete random>One panel she has collarbones and a belly button the next she doesn't, one panel she's a BCB fridge the next she has a waist and hips>suddenly she's 1:1 traced from the official comic and the next she's doing this incredibly dynamic pose in the BCB style
>>151282949Ok great, but to what end? How would the artist benefit? It's the one question nobody has answered. Why would anyone go to that trouble? There's literally nothing in it for them.
>>151282590As someone who used to live with one (younger sibling, unfortunately), it's a miserable thing to realize. There also isn't much you can do for them if it's not correctly identified as BPD early, because there's a decent chance they'll tear apart their own support networks during a breakdown. Witnessed it firsthand - I'm being vague to avoid doxxing but said younger sibling basically disowned themselves in a delusional accusation spree that involved calling police to the house in the middle of the night while everyone else was asleep.No, I am not the anon with the adopted sister from 2 threads ago. This story doesn't have a happy ending.
>>151282955Sure seems like an amateur artist who is experimenting with shading to me. Plus Taeshi forgot details and had inconsistent shading all the time in her early work. Should that be written off as AI? I'm an amateur artfag and if I've used a reference image or a mannequin and I've set the light source wrong then my shit looks weird too. Would a fancomic artist really give too much of a shit as long as it looks cool?
>>151282955>Collarbones drawn and removed at random>Bad shading>Off model and on-model at randomYou've... you've read Taeshis work right? She's guilty of all of this and more. She can't even get anatomy right.
>>151282949>Fraudulent activities It's a fucking fan comic done for free about a comic no one but the deranged read, the fuck are you on about? Who gets this worked up about free publicity?
>>151282949>>151282904>>151282827lol nice to know that even referencing that comic pisses the discord shitters off. I think I'll make it my first post in the next thread. If they weren't so afraid of Taeshi and Shitcase they could post their opinions in the Discord instead of here.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Conspirator is a heckin 14 year old girl who was simply making a fancomic don't ban her>>151282972Spite actually, the motive is impotent spite, the first time he posted a page it was something like "Heh.. I'm gonna fix this shitty comic myself" wouldn't be too much of a problem to find the verbatim
>>151283048>>151282972I-It's FRAUD!!! Because it IS OKAY!? OBEY THE LUCYSPACE!
>>151283074You're the one that sounds spiteful with how much this bothers you for no reason at all>But he wanted attention!So fucking what?
>>151283074Show me where the artist said they were a 14 year old girl? We know they originally posted here retard. it was originally called /co/nsequences. I'm pissed off that they decided to share with the wider bcb audience and Taeshi and suitcase scared her off because the story was better.
>>151282850yup, zero proof. it was nakedly a witch hunthonestly i'm not sure i'd blame Taeshi for it specifically - i think it's possible Suitcase talked her into believing it was AI, since he's the one most defensive about the accusations and he probably convinced her he can "sniff it out.">>151282885no one would. it's a genuinely batshit insane thing to believe.there's always one guy late in these threads being disingenuous about the whole thing.rarely starts posting until 450+ replies. samefags like crazy.violently and repetitively shits himself over one anon like two threads ago who assumed conspirator might be a minor based on the art quality.
>>151282866The AI accusation makes no sense because their Lucy's were too consistently on-model from one panel to the next. AI is terrible at that. But drawing over a 3D poser? Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
>>151283004>Would a fancomic artist really give too much of a shit as long as it looks cool?Everyone hates aislop. We live in a world now where there are channels dedicated in hunting down traced shit and aislop. If tracing helps you to study drawing, don't release that shit anywhere. That's your own private art study before you draw the final product
>>151283074>A girl masqueraded on 4chan to avoid getting banned and/or avoided sharing personal information on an imageboardGee I wonder why anyone would do that? Are you seriously so retarded you think masking your identity on 4chan is sus?
>>151283068Im not in the discord retarded tr/a/nny. I only enjoy bcb thru these threads. I'm not gonna go to the fucking official site and support the retarded writer's income
>>151283160>Everyone here hates AI slopStill hasn't proven to be AI. WIPs confirm otherwise. The comic is obviously amateur but that 8 month gap between pages was more than enough time for someone to practice basic drawing technique.
>>151283074It was pretty obvious the girl thing was a lie to deflect criticism anyway
>>151283186So it's a personal vendetta, got it
Paulo sexo
>>151283186Sure sure. Don't let Taeshi know you called her a retard, but she'd be over the moon if she knew you accidentally called her a writer.
>>151283186>tr/a/nnyNTA, but tell us you don't belong here without telling us you don't belong here lmfao>151283220more samefagging.
>>151283048>Please, don't give me criticism, it's freeI didn't want to see it in the first place. It's bad enough the retarded cats are continuing to be retarded but then I have to face non-bcb related content participating in the discussions.
>bcb fan comic is not bcb-related>but my obsession with the fan artist definitely isis this nigga deadass
>>151283074>SpiteOkay. So they put hours of work into a fun storyline that was meant to entertain fans out of... spite? They put hours of work into a fancomic because they... didn't like the comic?You see where I'm getting confused right? What the actual fuck are you talking about? Your argument doesn't make sense. It's the ramblings of a schizo BPDemon.
>>151283242Imagine telling someone they don't belong when you can't even quote lol>Jaded discord faggot continuing to embarrass himself
>>151283247>non-bcb related content>a fan comic all about Mike and predominantly Lucy
>>151281510This is, in my opinion, genuinely the worst lucy has been in this entire comic. I defend mike like my life depends on it, but at the end of the day lucy rarely does anything all that bad, its just the comic warping everything to her benefit (and hurting those who oppose her) plus her just kind of being a bitch after returning that makes her so hateable. But this is her actually being insanely manipulative and hurtful for no reason. How do you justify this? Paulo is clearly the person at this table that cares most about how mike is doing, what does it matter to bring up what he said months ago? The thing he said when he hadn't repaired his friendship with mike and still anticipated having a relationship with lucy? This is such a weird petty kind of "loyalty test" from lucy towards paulo, shes even still doing this after she gave him his own personal "never fucking wanted it" speech. The way i see it this serves 2 possible purposes: to guilt paulo and make him look bad in front of everyone, or to actually ask him to make good on what he said (which no longer makes any sense given the circumstances have totally changed). Either way lucy is now actively trying to isolate mike, or at least trying to bring down anyone that actually gives him any sympathy and understanding like a normal friend would.
>>151283220Its still funny your problem is that a fan comic made for free for no real benefit drives you up the wall when this comic hardly deserves the effort and the thing it was praised for, the story, isn't mentioned at all
>>151281510>can we avoid the drama for Lucy?>Lucy IMMEDIATELY instigates dramaAre you fucking kidding me with this shit
>>151283277Maybe we were wrong all along and it's Taeshi herself. Her repressed based side has to surface somewhere, and she can't be cancelled if she's anonymous while calling out the discord trannies.
>>151283242I'm sorry I don't like it when anons go to an anonymous image board to avatarfag. And erase their anonymity. If only it was against global rules
>>151283295Paulo did not fall down in worship of her and so must be punished.
>>151283295It just makes the shit she said in Eternal Flame that much more infuriating.
>>151283247So you're a freelance mod, got it
>>151283220Ah cool so you've seen Conspirators penis? Or are you talking out of your ass again and you're actually just making shit up to fit this imaginary villain you've dreamed up. You know that villain that has no motive and was an angel to everyone for months in the official discord and here... weird. keep going though.
>>151283295It's genuinely surprising to me how direct she is, but then again... people have already forgotten that she kicked Mike in the stomach. Paulo, Daisy, Amaya, and Sue don't even know it happened.I wonder what Paulo does when he finds out.
>>151283318New anon here, is this image supposed to prove you're arguing with yourself like a schizo?
>>151283247Sorry Oliver. Can't ban people that disagree with you here. Better go bully a teenager on the discord, you fucking nerd.
>>151283344From the stare I can only hope its "go fuck yourself"
>>151283318...anon, did you think the single ">" displayed (you)? what is this screenshot even trying to say?
I also admit, I assume Consequences is the shitty random girl being "teehee im so cute, mommy's putting me on a diet for a pedo child beauty pageant" with the family having dinner. If that isn't it, then my bad
>>151283295It's just gross. Lucy's said... five, six, times that none of these people are her friends. Twice to Mike, twice to Paulo himself, once or twice to Augustus and now she's being a huge bitch because the guy she's told to fuck off isn't worshipping the ground she walks on.There's nothing left to hide behind: Lucy doesn't want friends, she wants servants who do what she wants of them and then discretely withdraw when she doesn't want anything of them.
>>151283318Holy shit you're one obsessed sperg
>>151283343He said he had a wife you dumb faggot
>>151283344I think it's because, well, plot first and foremost let's be real...but also because Lucy has fully embraced the notion that she's the long-aggrieved party who's just been proven to have been the unfortunate victim and is now deciding who should be included in the "horrid abuser" column with Mike. Or to put it more succinctly, unrestrained BPD hours.
>>151283370Who invented this narrative that she's a teenage girl? Did she ever say that?
>>151283373At this point I suspect that Lucy's nice girl act was at least 50% a subtle go-fuck-yourself-and-your-shitty-predictions to Mike.
>>151283384Great, on 4chan where you'd never admit to being a woman unless you were an attention seeking tranner you stupid sack of shit.
>>151282671Yeah, but that's because Taeshi sucks at setting things up. She rushes through to the payoff without establishing things, then gets frustrated when people are confused. But it's true that Mike doesn't know how to be a supportive friend platonically - his friends ask after him all the time, but when has he ever asked anyone not named Lucy/Sandy how they're doing? Outside of studying and totally-not-dates, he rarely hangs out with them. When he does he's often feeling guilty/depressed/irritable, but he snaps at or shrugs off any attempt to cheer him up.Mike's not a bad friend in the "actively abusive" way that Lucy (or sometimes Paulo) is, he's a bad friend in that he's just kind of a drag. He's perfectly nice, but he's kind of a boring ditz, and every now and then he'll be in a bad mood and pull everything to a screeching halt while he feels bad for himself.>>151283022Suitcase essentially admitted Taeshi traces in his accusation with the line "Even occasionally tracing or copying to get something to look right is cool by me. Every artist does it.". I don't think consequences-anon was using AI, but even if they were, what difference does it make? Tracing over AI, tracing over a 3d model, tracing over a reference image, no matter what it's still the artist doing the drawing. It's not like taking an AI image and just editing out the mistakes in GIMP or whatever - they're doing all the identifying details, laying out the panels and dialogue, drawing the background, etc., so it's still their work, traced or not.
>>151283074>SpiteIn spite of what? What are you talking about?No really I want to know.
>151283318It is occasionally customary on 4chan to single quote samefags to deny them (you)s.
>>151283074Spite for what?Taeshi being a shit writer? An awful artist? A stupid cunt? I think we can all agree on that.
>>151283370No, that's Bleating Hearts by FlakOps. Consequences is the one where Mike finally kills himself and Lucy sees, then proceeds to have a total psychotic break where she hallucinates an "other" Lucy who embodies her spiteful, mean-spirited tendencies.
>>151283420That's a delusional cope you got there>A 14 year old girl finding /bcb/ is more reasonable than some fat old man pretending to be a girlPathetic
>>151283429Huh? He was there to support Paulo when he was having an episode. Comparatively, Mike gets treated like shit the majority of the time by his "friends"
>>151283429Seems like Taeshi took exception and then sic'd her fans on them because they they either didn't like the comic or they beat her to the punch on a plot point she was saving. Either way it's pathetic to do that to a fan.
>>151283429>his friends ask after him all the time, but when has he ever asked anyone not named Lucy/Sandy how they're doing?Double Down immediately leaps to mind. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples, given it's Mike.
>>151283466I could believe Tae having the idea for the 'other Lucy' showing up at some point with the dreamscape shitMaybe she could even get to it herself if this comic moved at a non-glacial pace
>>151283457Who said they were 14? Can you prove it either way? Oh you like strawmen is that why? Fucking pathetic.
>>151283497>I could believe Tae having the idea for the 'other Lucy' showing up at some point with the dreamscape shitWouldn't that threaten to be a little too interesting for BCB as of this decade?
>>151283455>>151283455Oh I'm so terribly sorry, anons! For some reason, I thought me and Taeahi have the same distain for a minute. Fucking hate that comic. I just can't pinpoint whyCarry on
>>151283502You did, retard>>151283074
>>151283513At the rate she's going it'd probably be sometime in the 2030s that she did it anyway
>>151283458>>151283474Yeah, that's why Mike was all "holy shit, Paulo is my best friend" and why Mauloposting started getting traction again. Mike showing that kind of concern is pretty exceptional because doing so was beaten out of him at a young age, so it's notable when he does.But apart from both those examples being Paulo, they're also both recent, and take place after Mike already concluded like 3 iterations of the "one can be friends platonically, charlie brown" arc, because Taeshi likes reusing arcs almost as much as she likes retconning them.
>>151283521Except avatarfag*
>>151283523That wasn't my post, dipshit.
>>151281510
>>151283588>asks when Mike has ever bla bla bla>gets two separate answers>"w-well those don't count because they're recent and he definitely didn't do it outside of those examples"I'm not searching through the entire comic to categorically disprove you, since that's a level of argumentative autism my energy and patience cannot support, but I will say this makes your commitment to the truth very questionable.
>>151283429>Oliver admitted Taeshi traceslol as if it wasn't blatantly obvious. Remember the car?
>>151283652It's obvious she traces over female posers for most of the cast these days.
>>151283318Man you're worse than the namefag, he's annoying but easy to ignore, you're so hostile for nothing it comes off as YOU having BPD yourself
>>151281510I find it hilarious that Sue, with a heavily-lined face, is saying "It's Lucy. You know she needs space." right in front of Lucy. It's like Sue is an exhausted babysitter talking diplomatically about a toddler who she's finally gotten to quiet down after hours of scream-crying.
>>151283685How is it easy to ignore? It plagues the entire page. I just don't say anything about it for months at a time
>>151283623Why don't you take another shitty screenshot and prove it, faggot.
>>151283667Exactly. Taeshi getting on anyones case for tracing is priceless. She traces work, uses sketchup for her background assets and google images for cars, the works. The fact that she had the audacity to point fingers at a fancomic artist is amazing. Maybe nobody taught her that when you point a finger at someone you point 3 back at yourself.
>>151281510how can anyone support this bitch?
>>151283720Go fuck yourself you nerd.
>>151283724BPD bitches gonna project, man
>>151283373Not to mix this with the insane ramblings happening at the same time but I wouldn't be surprised if Taeshi's idea is that Lucy has something more aside from BPD like a split personality disorder that chooses when she's likeable but sightly annoyed and when she becomes queen bitch, and that's why she nipped the fan comic immediately
>>151283720It's funny how you're obviously that talentless hack who was tracing AI shit just off how fragile and defensive you areYou're sperging out over a guy who's on your side and you completely misread his post by the way lmao
>>151283722Taeshi needed some excuse to chase the artist off candybooru and tracing wouldn't fly for obvious reasons, so she threw out the Big Artistic Uh Oh.
>>151283741Whatever you say you gutless little cunt.
>>151282520The comic never botherd to prove him wrong. It just decided to make him suffer for daring to make Lucy feel like shit.
>>151283760You think Tae uses AI in anyway or is just too lazy to bother?
>>151281510>What I've Done by Linkin Park starts playing.
>>151283641>I'm not searching through the entire comic to categorically disprove you, since that's a level of argumentative autism my energy and patience cannot supportAh, the classic "I could prove you wrong but I don't care to (because I'm better than you)" defense. I see you've studied your Bonetti! You must expect me to attack with Capofiera.
>>151283769I feel like it's tried to prove him wrong and somehow managed to hang itself in the process instead.
>Consequences/Conspirator gets mentioned>Discord faggots and patreon subs go into an angry frenzyI'm going to have to bring this up every thread from now on. Even the reddit thread is doing well.
>>151283720Umm, wrong person, anon. Why are you so defensive with ai anyway?
>>151278317Just proves Mike's Truth power. He got Lucy completely here. If he can free himself he'd become a Persona protag
>>151283797I wonder what it is that so uniquely sets them off compared to anything else
>>151283785You tell me this isn't an AI mistake >>151283022
>>151283797No, that was on me. I thought y'all talking about Bleating Hearts. You don't have samefag twice
Lucyfags are a mentally ill lot
>>151283845Well, like attracts like.
>>151283785Not for her characters, no. They are annoyingly inconsistent and poorly drawn, but in her own particular style of learned incompetence, if that makes any sense. From what I've seen, it's more likely she draws over stock poses and tries to draw the rest of the comic around them. There have been more than a few awkward panels that suggested it might be the case.
>>151283821I think it was Taeshis post on the booru. Sad part is that Conspirator hasn't responded at all. I keep waiting for them to blow Taeshi out but they might have been scared off for good. /bcb/ will lose it if they come back with proof it wasn't traced.
>>151283835Bleating hearts is a gem of a comic. Way better art too.
>>151283792I point out this is 4chan and you're waving a stick at me, demanding that I devote time and effort to disproving you in a thread in autosage freefall, currently on page 7.
>>151283797Fannel bought it up too and shows the WIP in the video. Comedy gold.
>>151283724>>151283741>Oden and Lucy in the same thread"Terrible Mary Sue" energy approaching cancerous levels, captain
>>151283828That just looks like Taeshi is an idiot who couldn't find a better reference and said "fuck it."
>>151283713Because he namefags so you can use a fucking blocker, also his posts can be resumed as "I love Taeshi's writing" and "sex sex sex" so you can just skip them when seeing the name. Letting it bother you is on you when you have the tools to not see him
>>151283910Sure thing! Someone drawing the same characters for over 20 years would totally make that mistake.
>>151283793Taeshi got too caught up in making Mike suffer for december for years. Instead it just bungled how she deals out punishments for characters. Lucy is still a parasite. She's just decided that Mike is her enemy now.
>>151283935I do believe an individual who regularly displays both lazy methods and anatomical incompetence is both anatomically incompetent and lazy, yes.
>>151283722She doesn't know about the finger pointing anon, not considering the mangled arm she gave Lucy the page posted after the calling out
>>151283888Maybe. But I personally chose the hellhole that is bcb. I don't give a shit about Bleating Hearts. Their faces are way more annoying and punchable
>>151281519Those types of edits always fit the existential horror of being trapped in a comic about the issues of a BPD woman who can't move on.
>>151283935Not that anon, but it is possible. Especially if you don't pay attention and/or Rush
>>151283889Naturally. But I find that /trash/ still being live cancels out autosage. Don't you?
>>151283909Oden was a good lad. Unlike Lucy who actively brings down and hurts everyone and everything she is around
>>151283755Keep barking you dog
>>151283963These feel more and more poignant the deeper we get into the Lucyspace
>>151283970I'm not really sure how many different ways I can explain to you that winning an argument on this website is not so important to me that I'm going to spend who knows how long parsing the entire comic.
>>151283975Woof woof~ ;3c <3333
>>151284001It's not my fault you're too uncultured to get the reference, anon.You should watch Princess Bride sometime, it's very good.
>>151283797Please bring it up, it's funny how triggered you guys get over that faggot getting called out.He's never going to post another page because of it either :^)
>>151284028Nta butActually it is. Remember family guy catering only to ancient boomers?
>>151283791Kek
>>151284028>do you Catan?
>>151284028Not that anon, but god you're a faggot.
>>151282955Taeshi inconsistently shades all of the time, like how Lucy has shading in a cafeteria in spite of there being no light source. Taeshi proportions the characters wrong from panel to panel, nevermind page to page. Taeshi adds and removes features all the time and has forgotten whiskers on tons of pages.This is someone who has drawn these characters daily for over 20 years anon. Cut the shit.
Man, all this petty artfag drama is really bringing me back to the "(c) Me DOUGHNUT STEEL" era of Deviantart.
>>151284032Don't worry I will! Perhaps I'll make my own fan comic! I'll call it "/co/ndolences"! Perhaps I'll post it to the booru and then get Taeshi mad enough to make a blue sky posting about how she doesn't like fancomics!
>>151284080Well at least Vizpop stopped using that character she didn't designed
>>151284087Ok do it then lol, when you get banned and start melting down over how not mad you are make sure you post it here.
>>151284104Working Taeshi up into enough of a tizzy to delete fan art would be pretty based.
>>151284100Bcb is my only tether to a time long gone.
>>151283705>>151283791Is she starting to wake up? Is the truth slipping out subconsciously between words?

>>151283971Him and his country of retards were still fucking poison for the story. He is slightly less terrible than Lucy because OP is such a retardedly huge story, he didn't ruin that much of it, even if it was like 8 years of buildup wasted on his stupid country. Lucy is everything. Lucy is everywhere. Lucy is death.Paul from Spiderman is on the same tier of terrible as these two if you ask me.
>>151283705And Lucy has no issue with it. Lucy loves being looked down on and coddled.
>>151281252>fucking hell can he take a lot of punishment.Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one. Not today.
>>151284120Kinda surprised Conspirators art is still there desu. I think they're leaving it up as a warning to others who dare create fan content for their comic lol.
>>151284206It's fine with Augustus because he acts like an edgy bad boy while doing it, she doesn't like when Abbey does it because he acts like a nerd
>>151284206It's ok because Gus' is bigger.
Remember, when it comes to fan OC, any love is good love! The gif isn't passive aggressive at all!
>>151284049So you know an ancient /tg/ greentext reference, but don't catch a Princess Bride reference?I find your cultural background bafflingly opaque.Also diversify your reaction images, you've used that one like 6 times in these threads already
>>151284227This is actually why I think >>151283140 is right and Taeshi wasn't responsible. If Suitcase is the one who originally was sperging out about it (and probably still is, in these threads - he knows how to samefag), unless Taeshi deletes it herself it'll stay. If she had been the original source of the AI accusation and not Suitcase, I think she'd have just deleted it with no comment since that's her preferred style with retcons of the comic itself. Because she became aware of it and didn't decide to delete it, he now can't delete it without her knowing about it.
What the fuck is going on in here /bcb/?
>>151284302Reading this and then looking back on Lucy blackmailing Paulo just as he goes to do what she just gave him permission to do... you can really see the soul of the author in her work.
We're enjoying ourselves.
>>151284325The comic is especially nonsensical lately and it has us agitated, so we're fighting amongst ourselves.
>>151284325ai accuser fag having a schizophrenic episode at the end of the thread. it's not new, he's done this in several threads.
>>151281510All he has to do is admit that he was shitty for it but also mention that SHE slapped him when she brought it up in the first place.
>>151284351I fucking love Gary Larson.
>>151284367All I did was ask when the next page of a fan comic was coming out.
>>151277976How has nobody else pointed this out?Is she actually scheming?Or did Tae just want to draw the meme?
>>151284390then unless you were arguing with yourself you are not to blame.but be advised that the sperg exists.and before you ask, no, his incessant AI accusations do not hold any water under the most basic scrutiny.also note that he pivoted to (identically baseless and unsupported) "traced AI" accusations the moment Suitcase did the same.
>>151284475I remember when Suit tried to be a janny around here because people were posting the patreon pages early so he'd try to get the images bannedAnd then he imposed some insane encryption that helped him narrow down who was posting it so they could be bootedI guess their patrons have dried up to the point where that's not viable anymore
>600 posts in less than a dayThis chapter really has us stirred up.
>>151284524If Paulo sits down we might hit 800 again. Because we did that in less than 7 hours a few pages ago.
>>151284475Most definitely not. How does a fan comic upset people so much? I didn't really give a shit about the art, traced or not the story was great and I want to see how it ends. As for the action poses, did nobody realize the past page was Korra warming up? There's also white diamonds pose a few pages back too. That's not AI. That's an amateur using references because they're not dead on. Are the aifags for real?
>>151284524I mean SOMETHING is happening, wether we like it or not, so we are in a frenzy
Never forget that while Lucy is what Taeshi wishes she could be, Mike impotently going "Heh" while getting lambasted is who she truly is.
>>151284552>peopleit's one, MAYBE two anons here who seethe about it, but i strongly suspect samefagging because they only engage with posts that reply directly to them.
