Amaya is playing the long con. She wants the Korat cock but knows that if she, a lifelong voicelet flatty tries to go for him when his confidence is too high she'll be given the forehead kiss and sent on her way. The benefit of being a mutician movie clerk is that you perfectly blend into the background in spite of being a named character. She's in the corner of every panel, biding her time, waiting for Mike to be at his lowest, then she'll sliiiide in from the right with a bucket of caramel popcorn, and understanding smile, and a mouth with Dyson levels of cock suction. She'll lead him into her dad's cinema late at night, use her employee keys to let themselves in after closing, throw on a dubbed anime movie and then suck that sad little Korats balls so dry he forgets his own name, she'll blow any memory or Lucy or Sandy clean out of his mind, Mike won't be able to hear the movie over the near jet engine sound of Amaya sucking his soul out from his dick. When she's done Mike will have UOAHd so loud he'll have lost his voice and when the credits are rolling the only thing either of them will be hearing is the cute yet forceful panting from Amaya as she pushes mike onto the sticky cinema floor and bites his neck, pins his arms above his head and mounts his fat blue grey dick. Any resistance will be met with a mute fury as she subjugates Mike and makes him her creamy little cum kitty. Mike will wander home afterwards, the smell of amayas sweat, saliva and pussy thick on his fur and scarf. He will have been so enraptured and dominated that he will have left his phone behind. Amaya will send Sandy a picture of her face smiling whilst she dribbles cum into her palm, the message under it will read "You lose. The quiet kitty gets the cream." Before she throws the phone into the trash and begins planning their 2nd date to the drive in theatre where she'll try to make the car extra hot on the way there so she can lick the sweat off mikes face whilst she fucks him

Well well, Lucy. Responding to the truth with violence, eh? I'd say nothing has changed, but that's not true: She's actively gotten worse.

Kek this fucking crazy town bullshit. Mike gets bullied and responds with a shove then tells the truth that Lucy was an abusive cunt...which she then proceeds to prove by kicking him in the balls. Anons are right everyone else goes insane when near her. She is by all accounts the bad guy here and proving Mike correct at every turn.

This is honestly a disgusting page. Insane move to make both your comics main characters so fundamentally unlikeable. I hope Mike punches her in the face but he’ll just roll over like the little bitch he’s forced to be.

Holy fuck Lucy and Augustus are garbage. Please just kill this shitty concept of a ship for good and have Mike, Lucy, or both write off the other as dead to them. Mike already had zero reason to entertain her shit any longer but this is too overboard.

>>150666036
Where did what mike is saying come from? What the fuck is he even talking about? I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that him what he's saying in the last panel isn't what it looks like (hence him getting cut off) but what does he mean by "she strung me along"? If he means she forced him to stay around and used him, ok. But given how out of nowhere the stuff he's saying here is in the first place and how schizopheric the links in character motivation are here, I fear he means that romantically.

>Canon femdom
H-hot

>>150666199
Oh I'm certain they can come up with something. How dare Mike bring up Lucy's past misdeeds, she's moved on and is definitely nothing like her past self which really was just Mike's own Sandy-induced delusions anyway. Yas queen slay and all that.

>>150666197
it won't happen because lucy is a girl, it's the reason why her abuse towards mike it's taken less seriously, now if lucy was a boy it would all be fair game while they beat each other up every few chapters

>>150666222
>what does he mean by "she strung me along"
He literally tried (I think on more than one occasion) to pursue a serious relationship with Lucy. Every time she kept fucking about and dancing around it. Then when he moved on to Sandy she threw a quiet bitch fit.

>>150666036
FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

It's not the fact that she's abusing Mike *again* after she did so for years, but I swear he'll be demonized and she'll be praised as a hero for this. All for the Mike suffering cycle. Fuck Lucy. I still love her as a character but this ain't okay for you to do bitch!

>Mike fires back that Lucy treated him like shit, and he did want something with her at one point.
>Lucy then responds by kicking him in the gut.
How the fuck would Mike come out of this being the bad guy? Even if you argue that Mike shoving Augustus was wrong, Lucy kicked him in the gut AFTER Mike said she had treated him like shit. James knows Mike and Lucy had some issues prior, and Lucy kicking him should have cemented that Mike might have had a reason for acting weird, the entire time Augustus was here.

>what does he mean by "she strung me along"?
Literally a good chunk of the early comic and Miek and Lucy's lives were Lucy acting like an emotional retard with her feelings for Mike, and any attempt to push forward was met with her dancing around the issue or beating his ass. Did you forget?
Hell, she did it even when shit wasn't romantic.

>>150666271
Black holes warp spacetime so hard that light itself cannot escape and the laws of physics cease to make sense at a certain point. Lucyspace is a similar phenomenon that applies to character behavior and narrative events.

Though I suppose there is technically a chance that Mike gets so fed up with all this he purposely cuts ties with James and sends him off with Lucy. But that seems way too assertive.

>>150666314
It was in part jest, yes. BUT those two are fated to get together in the end, right? How is that going to happen with all of this bullshit happening?

>>150666334
>Did you forget?
To be fair to that anon, that era ended up being a very small part of the larger comic, which past a certain point pretty much ceases to acknowledge Lucy's faults in any serious capacity.

Taeshi is insane and writes with events in mind with no plan on how to actually execute them.
The event in mind was that Mike must be isolated from everyone including James.
However she is insane and a female and thus wrote it happening in the most batshit nonsense way possible. James "being a flake" doesn't mean he's going to be so easily manipulated into supporting Lucy when some emo ass comes out of nowhere to grief someone that's at least a friend and said friend snaps in response. He does not know Aug or Lucy and this is his first interactions with them. I don't even dislike James anymore because this is pure bullshit.
Stop hypnotizing your characters to save your bullshit writing, Taeshi!

>>150666036
>oh shit, he's calling me out

I HATE THE AUTHOR SO FUCKING MUCH
This entire shitheap of a comic is a beautiful example of how easy it is for mental illness to destroy an otherwise decent expression of art.

>>150666072
Mike never specified he wanted to be with Lucy, and good thing cause he just called out that she's abusive and she proved his point with actions. I wonder if she's still surprised for why Mike chose an angel like Sandy over a demonic bitch like her.
>>150666089
Remember when Lucy got slapped by Jessica and she went psycho? Can we have Mike do that here? Oh but we can't because if a male like Mike gets angry for any reason it must be wrong.
Actually can we have a female slap Lucy? Sandy, Daisy, Amaya? Anyone to finally humble her.
>>150666136
I'm still surprised she actually assaulted Mike. Should've guessed though. She's been an abuse apologist since youth.
>>150666117
In a sense, there is something good about this. If Mike cried abuse and she didn't abuse him right here and right now, everyone could easily ignore him. But now that she did, somebody out there in the background with the common sense to tell an abuser when they see it should be able to call out Lucy, maybe it'll be Paulo.
>>150666179
I'm 100% fine with this from a storytelling perspective, I'm hoping Veronica will push Mike to some irreversable point of injury and all the characters especially Lucy will have to live with the crushing guilt of it.

>>150666357
>How is that going to happen with all of this bullshit happening?
Morbid curiosity compels me to follow this comic in order to find out.

>>150666343
> But that seems way too assertive.
I mean, he just got kicked for asserting his own piece for one. Lucy, at this point, Lucy could get on top of Mike and stop him from leaving and could say:
>"Why do you make me hit you?"
And I almost believe that somehow Mike would come out of this being the bad guy.

If this is sanely written, then James would side with Mike & be pretty pissed. Any bullshit the white cats say is thrown into the trash by how they are acting. Especially when one punts your friend in the gut.

>>150666404
This is looking more and more like a convoluted extremely late followup to December. I think there is a plan, but it only makes sense in Taeshi's head because she huffs copium to justify her writing choices.

>>150666412
>Maybe it'll be Paulo
It's not. We already know he is ignorant of what is happening later when Mike fucks off from the table and Lucy returns with them treating Mike like a pariah and of course not elaborating

Zero Tolerance policy. A can be bullied, the second A stand up to B, they get punished too.
Imagine if Mike just becomes a school shooter after this. Why wouldn't he? He has a bully, his friends largely support that bully and never defend him, he has a troubled family life, he's all alone, he's in a burnt out relationship, and he's taught that his problems are trivial despite him being as nice to everyone as he can. This is a villain origin story here.

>>150666473
>Mike fucks off from the table and Lucy returns with them treating Mike like a pariah and of course not elaborating
I hold only the faintest hope that Mike finally breaks free of the bullshit and tells the rest of them why they suck ass. So they head back to the table without him, grumbling and trying to ignore his words. It would be a shock to see it play out that way, though.

>>150666412
>Mike never specified he wanted to be with Lucy
He did, though. She rejected him, Mike kept testing the waters and holding onto hope, then finally decided to nail things down with Sandy.

We had that with Lucy's return, though.

Funnily, Lucy can't even use Eternal Flame as a counter point since:

That raises a question of what exactly they were told. None of them should be trusting shit from Agusstus mouth despite him being Lucy's pursedog, and Lucy is never honest with what is going on.

>>150666415
Like the best I could come up with is they do end up fighting later, venom spewing and all that but they still know each other better than anyone else so they notice the little things and eventually turn it around once everything is out in the open. But that's reaching pretty far.

>>150666271
Primarily, the characters who do watch Lucy abuse Mike have always excused it. Male abuse victims are heavily trivialized in society, and it's been months since Lucy hurt Mike, and now she's doing it cause Augustus taunted Mike into hurting him first so now her little ball kick won't look that bad to a third party.
>>150666299
Imagine if Lucy gets abducted by Alejandro and Mike becomes so hateful towards her that he's just like "Eh, she deserves this". Maybe he'll even watch her get beat for a while before interfering.
>>150666325
If Mike actually does this he'll go to jail. Lucy should, but I doubt anybody would take it seriously if she was the aggressor.
>>150666382
I do feel bad for Lucy, I dread imagining what her haters would do if they got their hands on her.
>>150666452
By the way Augustus knows that Lucy is a piece of shit to him and blatantly ignores it.
>>150666473
At a point Mike does vent to Paulo on Valentine's Day so maybe he's still with Paulo, Daisy, and The Track Team while telling everyone else to fuck off.

>>150666412
Mike did try to be with Lucy which is why this page is retarded. Everything he is saying is 100% accurate. Lucy did string him along when he tried to lock things down with her and was an abusive bitch to him. She can't even deny it now since she JUST fucking kicked him in the junk

>>150666520
I'm pretty sure the original plan was just to needle Mike with bullshit until he caved to guilt again. Then Gus figured out Mike's connection with James through the power of plot convenience and decided to drive a wedge between them. Mike flipping out so hard plays into his goals but was not the original idea.

And then what? I don't get what he's trying to achieve.
Does he want Mike to isolate himself from everyone?
Is he just doing this because he enjoys making others suffer?
Or does he want Mike expelled/changing schools?

I know this, i read the comic practically every day. The thing is, that was fucking 8th grade and mike has shown time and time again that he isn't really concerned with that anymore. Even in the times where he is into lucy after that her rejecting him and "stringing him along" seems pretty unimportant. Why would he suddenly bring that up here when it barely even matters to what they're arguing about?

>>150666550
>Augustus taunted Mike into hurting him first so now her little ball kick won't look that bad to a third party.
Mike shoved him to the fucking ground vs HER(not him), kicking him in the gut/dick. Mike would be within his rights to backhand or punch Lucy.
>>150666587
>And then what? I don't get what he's trying to achieve.
He wanted Mike to comply. He genuinely does not care if it hurts Mike. he wants him to comply and hopes it makes Lucy feel better. Instead of telling her fucking mom.

>>150666550
I doubt it. Track Team bros minus James will probably be the only ones chill with him, but Mike will probably become so closed off to everyone after this their view won't matter in his eyes and he'll be paranoid they'll throw him under the bus like James is going to do. Can't blame him too much since it keeps happening to him to people he tries to open to.

Kid needs therapy, or better yet a true friend. He needs to go scorched earth with his table relationships and get away from them. Lucy should be completely dead to him at this point because she is objectively toxic for his physical and mental well being.

>>150666521
>We had that with Lucy's return, though.
I've always viewed that as a milestone more than anything else. It was always strange to me that Taeshi did not have Lucy dress Mike down in a sort of revenge reverse Decembering. You know, totally crush his spirit in an act of pottery--especially given that Taeshi has been punishing him over December for years, now. So I figured something like this was always coming.

>>150666271
>How the fuck does this end with James being anywhere near Lucy?
>>150666187
>>somehow james ends up on her side
I think everything makes sense when you realize James just doesn't see Mike as a friend at all after New Years. He didn't drop from "first in his heart" to friend, he dropped all the way down to a guy James has to tolerate being around. That's why he was making fun of him at practice, that's why he was fine leaving him behind at recess, and that's why he's gonna drop him like a hot rock without hearing him out.
>>150666265
Despite everything I still can't imagine any other way the comic could possibly end.

>>150666550
>Imagine if Lucy gets abducted by Alejandro and Mike becomes so hateful towards her that he's just like "Eh, she deserves this".
I doubt Mike of all people could ever reach that point, outside the power of plot. He's more the type to intervene but absolutely hate every moment of it.

>>150666180
I mean Lucy went for the balls despite how much people like to say he has none, even if Mike wanted to retaliate the pain wouldn't let him

>>150666608
Unfortunately it's not those times. As much as Lucy needs a pimp smack, that'll just land him in hotter water. His best approach is just stab her emotionally at this point. Say "Guess I was right about you all along. Fine. We're done. Never interact with me ever again."

>>150666607
Let add on to this and say i can also see it as a counterpoint to him leading her on in EF, but the subject of this conversation is what happened in december so him bringing it up doesnt make sense

>>150666452
Sandy wasn't just right back then and wrong now, she continues to be right about Lucy. I'd actually love to see Lucy go full unhinged and jealously assaulting Sandy on Valentine's Day, giving Mike complete incentive to kick her ass.
>>150666503
I hope he does do this with tears in his eyes from the years of frustration he put up with them.
>>150666520
I wouldn't want that for him, but also wouldn't blame him. But I think he would primarily only hurt Lucy and Augustus.
>>150666521
Mike also can't vent about this to his parents cause few to nobody knows he's getting abused.
>>150666564
100%, Mike has zero obligation to sympathize with her in any way now, and hopefully some background character will report Lucy's bullying.
>>150666608
Mike will inevitably get disciplined and in trouble with the principle and his parents (for allegedly no valid reason) if he does.
>>150666609
He has every reason to believe that. First Lucy, now Mike thinks he'll become abandoned but because nobody takes his victimization seriously. Remember when Lucy used to regret being abusive? Yeah, me too.
>>150666609
At this point, Sandy, Haley, Chris, and Felix are his salvations. I trust Daisy and Paulo less now but they could be of hope. Amaya and Stacy could too.

>>150666556
It wasn't even an apology, just an acknowledgement that Mike SHOULD hate her, said during a time when Lucy was doing her best to push him away. There's an implication of self-serving built in, so it's not even said for his benefit!

>>150666639
That would be nice. Even more so if even after that, Lucy has the audacity to yell at him for saving her, and then he truly falls apart internally and tells her to jump off The Grand Canyon.

>>150666587
All Augustus cared about was getting Mike off the field. Whatever happens to Mike beyond that is irrelevant to Augustus, unless he's taken a level in spite. But hey, who knows? If Lucy continued to degrade, maybe Gus would shoot for that expulsion.

>>150666609
>Can't blame him too much since it keeps happening to him to people he tries to open to.
Well, it wouldn't be paranoia if it kept happening to nearly everyone around him. This is the first time James has met either, and if he is siding with them. What would make Mike think that the track team would be different?
>Kid needs therapy, or better yet, a true friend.
He needs to go to a different school. Augustus will target him regardless, and anyone attached to this school could side with Lucy at the drop of a pin.
>>150666651
>>150666656
>As much as Lucy needs a pimp smack, that'll just land him in hotter water.
You both are right, but that doesn't make me any less mad.

>>150666658
Yeah it's more like, "I acknowledge that I should be hated so pity me for it". Getting an abuser to be remorseful is as difficult as chewing a stone.

Cant say this was unexpected

>>150666607
Because Augustus just completely demonized Mike by listing his past sins against Lucy without mentioning the teeny tiny oh so insignificant fact that it only happened because Lucy happened to be Mike's longtime abuser who did indeed play hard to get then couldn't accept the fact that Mike moved on. Mike is providing sorely needed context.

>>150666607
Augustus says Mike lead Lucy on for years, Mike: angered by how absurd that is and not wanting to look bad in James' eyes argues back. Lucy kicks him because Mike told an unflattering truth, just like when she bitchslapped Paulo. You really are retarded aren't you?

>>150666723
>Mike is providing sorely needed context.
Tried to, at least.

>>150666036
>James is supposedly gay.
>Isn't recognizing and calling out this event for being clearly fueled by female manipulation.
This would be so much more fun if he refused to take Lucy's side solely because he hates women.

>>150666748
Can't blame him for Lucyspace. He could give a slideshow with all the evidence or even fucking time travel to show it and he'd still be the bad guy somehow

>>150666765
"If Mike doesn't want to be abused, he shouldn't look like such an enticing target."

Bet someone will say that. Maybe Lucy, like "he's such a dork he's asking for it".

What i'm saying is that that's basically the most insignificant thing augustus brought up that mike could respond to. If someone says "you lead this person on and you also made them attempt suicide" you aren't gonna go "I DID NOT LEAD THEM ON!!!" it feels contrived to not have him take the obvious (both from a story and character perspective) choice to clarify the worst parts.

>>150666796
Filthy pirates!

Please continue.

>>150666180
If this comic was good and allowed for characters to grow outside the predetermined boxes, Mike would gather him and tell Lucy to pick a taller building next time. Then walk away and never speak to her, Augustus, or anyone from the table again for his own good.

But yeah, that's not gonna happen. Prepare for another 3 years of Mike crying and suffering. And some point....Mike and Lucy will get together because that's still the endgame despite all of this.

We'll probably all be dead before we ever see that happen though.

>>150666651
I'd settle for Mike realizing that Lucy is back to denying her own misdeeds and then to stop feeling sorry for her.

>>150666036
BOTH Augustus AND Lucy waited the other to be hurt. Augustus waited Lucy to splat herself in the snowed concrete, Lucy waited for Mike to push down Augustus instead of YOU KNOW; STEP IN. MOVE THE HAND OF A MIDGET.
Shit friends altoghether to eachother.

Also again, stupid page. Lucy teleportation powers only in action when it creates a bad situation to Mike, uh? This is not a good structured page

>>150666036
Y'all are gonna get yourselves banned off discord if you keep posting arguments and taeshi criticism from this board so directly

>>150666783
Well he was literally cut off by Lucy’s violence so he could have addressed that too

I don't even enjoy hate-reading this anymore.
Why go through so many chapters making Mike sympathetic and have other characters lecture him on being too hard on himself, only to beat him down even more over the most minor of missteps? Narratively speaking, what's the goal here? What lesson has Mike not learned that nobody else is has alluded to that warrants this situation? "Don't agree to unreasonable requests from unreasonable people, and break them because they're unreasonable"?
That or the only other thing that makes sense is Mike being jealous of James' attention to David, which is somehow akin to emotional cheating on Sandy, so the plot police have to come along and smite him in the most heavy-handed way possible that makes everyone look like an asshole in the process.
Like, that would be a good flaw to bring up for Mike and would be a good thing to realize on his own and work through, but I can't see how going about it this way is satisfying for anyone.

>>150666651
Mike is going to be unjustly punished here anyways, he might as well slap Lucy's shit.

>>150666672
It'd be more satisfying if Lucy--being a stupid bitch but not a complete insufferable monster--does begrudgingly offer an olive branch and Mike's too wary of her to take it.

>>150666765
James gay powers can't subvert Gods will.
The will of a woman that likes assholes and see empathic people like Mike as social manipulators that deserve hell.
Unironically Mike would have better karma if he acted more like Paulo and banged everything that moves, including Lucy when she was depressed.

What really fucked him up is when he almost died saving her life and he returns to see she already found herself another teddy bear, and even the narrative knows this is bullshit because her inner thoughts (remember when she had those) were that "something was bothering Mike but who cares, he'll get over it", she didn't even care about why he was upsset, only that he should stop so he could go back to taking abuse with a smile

The lesson is that Mike threw away a good thing he had going with Lucy over a girl who didn't give him nosebleeds. Lucy was a bit:
>Rought, but Mike is a guy he can handle it.
>Her not being straight with her feelings is part of her charm.
>He shouldn't have doubted his friends and thought that would leave him for Lucy. He should know that they will abandon him for Lucy even if they had only met her once.
The only way back in is to beg for forgiveness, for stepping out of line or looking for happiness without Lucy in mind.

Lifetime movies have better fucking plots.

>>150666919
Never happened, are you stupid? Lucy is innocent.

>>150666934
Doesn't matter, Lucy have a vagina and Mike a penis.
This means that he will always be more responsible than her.

>Mike proven right once again
Must be a day ending in a Y

>>150666783
>I hope he doesn't mean it romantically
he does and he's right
>well why's he bringing it up
because augustus did
>well why is he arguing that instead of the loonie bin
Because Mike does blame himself for that (wrongly),.and he'd go along with any guilt trip Augustus played about it: except if it means being separated from James or having James think badly of him for things he didn't even do.

>>150666919
If Lucy has a consistent character trait, it's that she trends toward a kind of comfortable carelessness. She did get better about maintaining her boytoy security blanket after coming back, but let's also just say that Lucy was real fucking lucky that Augustus shares her brand of humor with that rape cupcake stunt. And it's kind of amazing that Augustus didn't take her umbrage at her snarky remark that he should go back to being a bastard.

>>150666934
There is also the constant putting down and insults iirc. The kind of behavior snake girl friends have towards the girl they use to elevate themselves.

ok i'm sorry i've been vaguely aware of this comic for the last 15 years, WHY exactly should I ever want to see the main protags, Mike and Lucy get together?
She's apparently been toxic to him from the start, starting off with the stupid cringe 90s/2000s anime love interest slapstick beatings, and that transitioned into actual material abuse, not just jokes
What's the appeal of this comic? Why has it gone on for so long? What's the end goal? I don't see this ending in any way outside of these two parting ways and moving on, Mike lives a normal life and Lucy enters an abusive cycle with the cat with black ears that she never leaves because she finds him hot

>>150667024
She wants to write a
> Mike wrong
and
> Look, parallelism!
and
> Look who is actually being left behind and all alone :)

Because she have a boyfriend that is an asshole more like Paulo and hate men that are like Mike.
It doesn't help that the comic sells really well every time that Mike is tortured on camera.
Lmao poor dude, he is prisioner of a lovecraftian demigod.

>>150666587
Pretty sure the moment Mike reacted and shoved him down with the softness of a toddler and broke his ribs he saw Lucy was still there and decided to try and detonate him, James already looked at him angrily and Lucy would not allow Mike to beat him up perhaps, but making him look worse is good and if Lucy perks up and turns her obsession into hate for Mike that also "helps"

>>150666939

David being such a walking meme should exclude him from being involved in these things at all.
I think Abbey and Mike have more chemistry than they're given credit for, they just don't interact.

>>150667024
Taeshi wants to laugh along while they jeer at Mike so long as she's in the mood, then will get upset their hatred doesn't conveniently turn on a dime once her mood shifts. She is also too stupid to recognize or accept the pattern.

>>150667024
Plan was to isolate Mike. Unfortunately Taeshi did not put the proper legwork required to accomplish this so she's cheating her ass off while her self-insert girlbosses all over the place.

>>150666285
>Suitcase, you useless lard, do your job and challenge the insane bullshit your wife writes already!
It was probably his idea.

>>150667086
>Canonical proof that Lucy can turn him

>>150666652
I think what Mike is trying to do is what we've been saying since this started, the whole story Augustus is telling is true but Mike is the wife, not Lucy. Augustus is accusing Mike of being a manipulator who strings people along, giving Lucy as an example and James as the current victim. At this point Mike isn't even defending himself, he's arguing with Augustus trying to set the record straight despite knowing no one cares about it

>>150666285
The point is that Augustus is a bully and Lucy is a bully enabler.
The bad thing is that the comic / fandom seem to imply that they are in the right, which is disgusting.
So Mike IS NOT in the wrong but he "must learn and growth" from this, which let a bad taste.

It's just dumber because his 'win' doesn't make any fucking sense to a normal person. It's like Telltale Walking Dead season 2. Spoilers if you care about that for whatever reason:

Group is in a shit situation and Kenny (the Mike in this situation) has been getting fucked over left and right and is just trying to help and protect a baby. Psycho bitch with them proceeds to intentionally push his rage buttons constantly then pretends to have lost the baby to zombies. When he rages (because no fucking shit who wouldn't?) she goes "See! He's the bad guy!!"
Like fuck off. The only thing Augusts should've won to normal people is coming off as a manipulative cunt intentionally trying to start shit. Abby should show up and knock his teeth out

The Mike hate truly is a phenomenon to be studied by psychologists.

Seriously if you are "good", read as, you try to be empathetic, but you fuck up, you will be blamed into oblivion and ostracized into you off yourself.
But if your default is being an asshole and a piece of shit you will be celebrated every time you act as a decent human being.

Overnight because you completely lack shame and have no values beyond "Mike is the good guy"

>>150667554
Yea I know but I can hope and cope as much as I want. The scenario I described would also be the perfect way to write Augustus out of the story and have Lucy stick around the table.

Since Augustus initiated this whole debacle and he's a known delinquent, he'd probably get suspended/expelled. Which would kill any chance of earning a scholarship to a college (as well as escaping Roseville), and get him held back a year. Good ole Auggie would also get sent back to the ghetto where Spic cat is since Lucy's family aren't his legal guardians. Meanwhile Lucy herself is seen as having a mental break where she attacked Mike for no reason by the school staff and body. Except for the table of course, who Lucy now has to stick like glue to since she's genuinely scared of Mike now and needs a handler 24/7.
>>150667600
I think if Augustus realized that Mike was genuinely going to attack Lucy or that she was at serious risk of being hurt he'd step in. The goth does care for BPD Queen's well being after all.
>>150667646
God could you imagine how much genuine interest that bring to the comic? The Discord cult goes crazy over who dare struck Lucy, while we go crazy from White Cat actually facing consequences.

>>150667800
No, you're trying to warp one point of contention into something else because you can't stand being wrong.

>>150666036
This comic is going to end with them killing each other, isn't it? Might as well go full school days.

I cannot believe that any person reading this would believe Lucy and Augustus are in any way, shape or form on the right in this scenario. Girl just kicked Mike in the nuts for no reason. If he reciprocated it'd be hell on earth for him.

>>150666036

>>150667842
And you can't read the signs. Even if it is not the authors intention, this is how he behaves. He is clearly cold, manipulative, cares about no one, and acts solely on his own personal interest or gain.

Beating and or molesting. It is like, one if the only ways to shut her up.

>>150667985
Have her face actual consequences and acknowledge criticism instead of doing what she just did (as well as with Paulo) where she lashes out violently. Have her actually grow as a character. Best case for both of them is to just accept shit's fucked and to just amicably part ways for a bit. Maybe they can reconnect later when they've chilled out hopefully grown out of being assholes/retards

My guess is an even simpler reason: Taeshi loves to be an asshole to others because it's a power trip. Being in on the "joke" is also fun for her, in that someone else is suffering and she gets to laugh at them. So then Suitcase is fun and lovable when fucking with someone else but a big mean jerk when that asshole attitude is turned on Taeshi herself.

>>150667985
Just let her face basic consequences for her actions instead of having the universe bend itself into a pretzel for her benefit. She's shown the capacity to learn when deprived of coddling.

Taeshi is going to have to give Mike a force blunt trauma memory loss cop out or something because I just don't see Mike getting with Lucy after all of the horrible things she's done to him. The kick in the balls is nothing compared to turning his own friends against Mike and pretending that she's still the victim. This is terrible storytelling, but we all know that.

A non-insane writer would simply drop the ship

>>150668427
>I can't see this shit sailing desu
Taeshi's attitude toward Much seems to be along the lines of an old movie called Raise the Titanic. No points for guessing the main focus of the film, but it required certain misunderstandings and faulty estimations that did not conform to the reality of just how fucking badly the ship had broken up and then degraded since.

This was in the past, things have changed, Augustus saved her life. You wouldn't understand

>>150668444
I don't know how to, because Lucy can decide to take it into different routes if she doesn't let Mike also talk. And since there's a lot more pages left, I wonder if they will allow the "line in the sand" to be broken, or set. Though, there was one, no? Mike isn't supposed to come outside, but that got violated.

>>150668319
Words have meanings, you know that which is why you chose a disingenuous interpretation using shove (to push strongly) when Mike grabbed Augustus and THREW HIM to the ground, they're not remotely interchangeable.
>Augustus deserved a punch for what he was pulling, Mike actually showed restrain by just shoving/throwing him, unlike Lucy who seems to have given Mike a leaping gut kick for the crime of... daring to set the record straight?
You guys were pissing your diapers about how evil it was for Augustus to air out Mike's dirty laundry and even right now you're saying it justifies violence, but Lucy hitting Mike back after he just physically assaulted her best friend is wrong because???

I have to admit, seeing you guys perform mental gymnastics to say Mike was justified in hitting a guy for speaking but Lucy can't hit him for hurting her best friend is really amusing.

>>150668519
Mike also saved her life, twice really. That little bit of information has no bearing on how well she will treat people

First kwab
Second if your “friend” is bulling someone to the point of trying to out him as a fav and gets shoved for that you are not in the right to violently kick them when he tells you the manipulation you did. That at best makes you a bully and enabler, if not a sadistic sociopath like Lucy is
She causes this because she likes to torment people

>>150668530
Sounds to me like James asks Lucy whether or not what Mike said is true and she has to decide whether or not to own up to past mistakes. Just a shot in the dark.

>>150668560
He liked her so it's invalid. He did it just to get her but she was smarter and didnt crave on Mike's manipulative tactics

>>150668570
I guess reading it more, I feel like it's Lucy trying to guilt Mike, even though he is transfixed to a siren that Lucy was not able to break his illusion from to win him over.

>>150667462
As a mikehater, part of it is that the kind of asshole who thinks of themselves as "nice" and "right" is incredibly grating, both IRL and in fiction. Lucy's a psycho riddled with emotional issues and paranoid delusions, but Lucy and most other characters seem to know that; Most don't know deeply spiteful Lucy is and want to think she's just being playful, but they're still AWARE that she's a snippy moodswinging asshole.

Mike isn't nearly as malicious or hostile as Lucy, but he is kind of a jerk in subtle, minor ways, like not telling people that have crushes on him that he's unavailable, waffling on questions then lashing out when pressed, assuming that people are deliberately slighting him when they're not, and resenting not being included in stuff but never being the one to initiate. All of these are fairly minor social faux-pas, but when all the side characters (and Mike himself) are constantly going "Mike is a nice guy", "Mike cares too much", "What's wrong Mike?", then those foibles become incredibly irritating.

>why you chose a disingenuous interpretation using shove
Who's "you"? This is 4chan, you can't assume you're always talking to the same anon. Anyway, it essentially WAS just a shove, you can't perform a decent throw with only a single hand that's cupped to someone's mouth. Especially when the target has a soft bed of grass to land on. The point is Augustus is fine, at most a mild concussion.

>how evil it was for Augustus to air out Mike's dirty laundry
Well yeah. Augustus was harassing him, and both Mike AND Lucy were telling him to shut up (it's her dirty laundry too, remember). The one who needed to walk away from the situation was Augustus, not Mike.

>Lucy hitting Mike back after he just physically assaulted her best friend is wrong because???

Because Augustus started it, because a running gut kick isn't a reasonable escalation, because she knows Mike is right.

>>150668768
This is legitimately better than what Taeshi is trying to do here, because what she's trying to do is so pants-on-head retarded that it can't work.

Abbey was always right. Sue's administration needed him to do the dirty work.

In retrospective, kinda insane isn't it?

>>150668768
God I hope Mike and Lucy throw hands in the comic for real

>>150668745
One can be a "nice guy" while not being a good person. Mike is NICE, but he lacks the principles and willingness to stand on them necessary to be GOOD.

But again, Mike isn't malicious or openly hostile. He's just too dumb to predict consequences or other people's reactions, and thus comes across as inconsiderate. I think Mike legitimately does not understand why someone would get mad at him for lying when he said what they wanted to hear.

I think it's just everything about the Sandy situation. Lucy is mentally incapable of extricating herself from that particular longrunning complex. She prioritizes Sandymalding over any contribution Mike had to her suicide attempt whereas all the comparatively sane characters who know/clare do the opposite.

>>150669014
He helped his friends every time he could.
He intervened every time he know what was going on.
When the others were talking shit about Lucy he told them to fuck off.
When Abbey chokehold Paulo he was the first to care for him and told Sue to shut the fuck up.
When Paulo was giving shit about Abbey parents he told Paulo to shut it.
When David was talking about Daisy x Paulo relationship he told him to shush it and think about Abbey.
Don't let's forget that he lierally sacrificed himself to save Lucy from a potential death.

He is not "acting nice" he is objectively a good guy that made some mistakes but everybody shit on him.

Says who? Literally where is two hands a definition of a throw? If you grab someone by the face and they are forced backwards to the ground that's a throw, Mike didn't shove Augustus who then fell to the ground, he grabbed him and threw him to the ground.
>A mild concussion is fine

>>150669126
Girl cat was his mentally ill careless abuser who male cat wanted for a long time, then had the gall to fall for someone else and realize girl cat was kind of a bitch. She finally grew the fuck up but took too long and he inflicted emotional revenge. Girl cat tried to kill herself, went away for a while, and came back with reverse character development. Despite everything, what she really hates is the fact he chose someone other than her.

>>150669126
She's one of those turbo retarded tsundere types. She was crazy about him (still is really) but was an abusive bitch that Grey Cat was too nice to realize until it was literally pointed out to him. Anyway, grey cat did make at least one attempt to pursue a romantic relationship with her but Lucy strung him along and/or pushed him away. Okay, fine. He eventually moves on to another white cat girl he is close to. This sends bitch cat off on him. Eventually grey cat says some admittedly harsh words to her which shuts her down. He realizes he went too far and apologizes asking to start over. Bitch cat accepts only to instead immediately try to kill herself because she was supposedly moving in response or something and couldn't deal with it.

She fucks off for awhile and things start to calm down and look up for the whole gang. Then she comes back for literally no reason to start shit and guilt trip grey cat like a bitch. She gets off on grey cat suffering but has the gall to lie about this later. Grey cat gradually spirals between bitch cats gaslighting, his friends siding with her, his current gf eventually cheating on him (long distance and generally a sham of a relationship anyway) and the plot constantly trying to fuck with him.

>>150669078
>Mike tells people to shut up and does literally nothing else to help with their problems
What a great guy
He did nothing for Paulo and Daisy the entire comic, not when they fought, not when he knew Daisy was emo over Paulo, not when Abbey choked Paulo, and definitely not when Abbey was getting bullied.
But at least he saved Lucy (after being saved by her twice before)

>>150669205
>She was crazy about him (still is really)
Which is baffling. The current version of Mike is such a disappointing stupid weenie compared to his old self that Lucy shouldn't want anything to do with him. So I assume this is more of an ego thing for her. Lucy wants to win the Chosen Girl status, with Mike serving as a trophy of sorts. Or maybe Lucy has deluded herself into thinking that, if Sandy was out of the picture, Mike would snap back to his old self.

>>150669090
>there's literally no point in you pretending it wasn't you
Have you really not considered that multiple people could think you're wrong and a retard?

>Literally where is two hands a definition of a throw?
Where did I say anything about the definition? I said a DECENT throw, one with any force behind it capable of doing any lasting damage. Punches can kill. Lucy's rushing kick coulda caused internal damage to Mike's organs. A mild concussion as the worst case IS actually pretty dang fine all things considered.

>words are violence
You DO realize the crux of Augustus' argument is that Mike nearly killed Lucy by saying mean things to her, right? If words aren't a form of violence then Augustus has literally no leg to stand on.

>>150669060
>>150669078
Fair enough, you're both right. Mike is a good guy in general. But still, most of the comic is centered on Mike's social problems, which are almost entirely self-inflicted (with the notable exception of Lucy/Paulo constantly fucking with him). He tells white lies, ignores or brushes off uncomfortable topics, is super sensitive to perceived slights, and hates having his buttons pressed but never tells anyone not to until they piss him off. None of these are mortal sins or anything, but it's really hard to like a character who fucks up and complains, even when they couldn't reasonably be expected to NOT fuck up and their complaints are legitimate.

I think Mike would ironically be MORE sympathetic if the comic focused on him LESS. Part of why I am a Mikehater is just because I'm sick of every other chapter being "watch Mike be sad".

>>150669288
The entire reason he even seems to have become this way is cause lucy thought killing herself was a good idea and she is bad at it.

>>150669288
I kinda hope the breakup does happen only to hammer in that the relationship is dead. Have Mike break up with Sandy and if some stupid Eternal Flame 2 shit happens have him disregard Lucy. Other way around works too but I see zero reason why he'd crawl back to her after all this bullshit. Either way they should be done with each other

Ah, so it's a non-decent throw that could've given Augustus a mild concussion, I'm glad you added modifiers to the language you were arguing against
Do you know why punches kill?
Hint: it's not because someone's fist hit their face it's because?...
Very good! It's because their skull hits the ground and causes damage to the brain!
How do we define damage to the brain? We use a word, it sounds a lot like Foncussion.
>You DO realize the crux of Augustus' argument is that Mike nearly killed Lucy by saying mean things to her, right? If words aren't a form of violence then Augustus has literally no leg to stand on.
Uhh sure, it literally doesn't matter if Augustus' argument was intellectually honest or not and no one ever argued this, Augustus came outside and used a supposedly faulty argument and in response Mike physically assaulted him, and Lucy hit Mike in retaliation.
