Violence is not the answer editionWebsite: https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/Booru: https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/candybooru/Previous thread: >>150666036
it's absolutely insane that this will end with James not on Mike's side
>>150707482>unless you are lucy, then everything is justifiedSurprised that she seems to suddenly be somewhat stable mentally right now, but alas that only comes up at the last second for plot convenience.Also not surprsied it wasn't but slightly disappointed the kick wasnt BCB(T)
>>150707482Rreaders being like "Mike get it over, you were kids" yet Lucy didnt get over kindergarten. Playing "run over other kids toys" must've traumatized her
>>150707482At least Lucy realizes she fucked up. No points awarded, however, since she immediately shifts focus and blames Mike. How does it go, gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss?
Petition to rename Lucy as "Psycho Bitch."
This is all just so embarrassing
>>150707505>it's absolutely insaneftfy
>>150707482Is David just standing off to the side? What's the point of this character if he never does anything to deescalate this bullshit?
>>150707658Muh comedic relief
>>150707658>haha David so funny lol >i love the power to bulldoze the plot forward using complete horseshit>oh no but what if he defuses the drama?>aha! i will simply delete him from existence until he becomes convenient again!
>>150707482Mike, brother, give it up. You can do better!
Goddamnit Mike hit her back, say something to make her cry, something man c'mon. SHE'S RIGHT THERE!!!
>>150707482Her comment on the teaser for this page on Friday made the actual worse. I thought Aug was gonna be laughing and making it clear he wanted these two to show openly how much they actually fucking hate each other, which would make this all suck that much less even if it's still a bunch of keikaku bullshit.Instead... this was indeed just him fucking over Mike for no reason and succeeding despite his plan being retarded, Lucy gets her girlboss moment, and James hates Mike for no reason.Brave, Taeshi.
>>150707700He did! Silly anon is reading the wrong comic again!
I want Lucy to spell out that she mistreated Mike because of Sandy-driven distrust, fully believing that is a reasonable excuse. Only for Mike to explode on her because fucking hell no it is not.
>>150707482Every so often I see that this comic is still updating and I'm consistently baffled at the fact the plot is still going. Why doesn't Mike just permanently cut contact with these shitters who repeatedly drag him into drama and make him the villain? Why can't he learn? Is he stupid?
>>150707722LET'S GOOOOO
>>150707727>Why can't he learn? Is he stupid?Worse, he is controlled by a contemptuous goddess who wishes him nothing but pain and torment for her amusement. Mike is not allowed to make positive life choices. Eventually, said goddess threw a better option at him and to the surprise of no one with basic pattern recognition, that turned out to be a rug pull.
Nothing ever happens and Mucy WILL be the endgame. Even if it takes mental gymnastics of biblical proportions
>>150707727White cat is a self-insert of the author, who is insane. Thus the world is completely ignorant to how much of a bitchy cunt she is despite not having a positive interaction with anyone since she came home after her suicide attempt.Grey cat is a torture doll who is likely an insert of her husband that she secretly loathes. He is not allowed to have the assertiveness that would make him fight back against all this bullshit, he's just allowed to explode every once in a while but said explosions accomplish nothing.Her husband probably knows this but prefers her torturing a stand-in of him instead of leaving his ass.
VCD update
>>150707793>despite not having a positive interaction with anyone since she came home after her suicide attemptThat's not quite true. There have been a few times when Lucy kept her bullshit under control long enough to interact like a normal person.
Didn't Mike make a move to try and be with Lucy way before the letters? What is her point here?
>>150707700
>>150707831Lucy CANNOT get over the fact that Mike liked Sandy more than her. The reason why Lucy rejected Mike in the first place is because of that original sin. Also I believe the letters were canonically a thing at the time. So long as Sandy remains in the picture, in any capacity, Lucy will stay insecure and make it Mike's problem.
>>150707831>What is her point here?Teashi is trying to justify abuse and bullyingLike> you get it coming MikePure mental illness
>>150707884>The reason why Lucy rejected Mike in the first place is because of that original sin.So Lucy, instead of trying to replace Sandy in Mike's mind way before confessing, she sat on her ass till shit got bad? By Lucy's own logic and this comic's logic, she had several opportunities to do that but never did. You really shouldn't prove Mike right that Lucy is a parasite.
>>150707831She didn't want it then. He told her he couldn't wait forever. Then he stopped waiting. That's why Lucy is mad, he did the thing he said he was gonna do.
>>150707700>hit hermike's a gentleman
>>150707942>she sat on her ass till shit got bad?That is the pattern with her. Lucy is rarely proactive, especially when it comes to solving her own problems. Arguably, she has been more of a go-getter when it comes to deepening them, given what she pulled to have Augustus become her live-in security blanket/Mike replacement.
>>150707969The bitch is being sarcastic, equating that they are both bad and precious Lucy a victim
Imagine getting gut kicked for something you did in 7th grade
>>150707821Uh oh, apparently Tapas was like four chapters behind. I'm not as caught up as I thought.
>>150707969>Mike has never canonically hit Lucy back!!Better to start late than never at all.>i have no recollection of them ever fighting each otherAnd checking is hard.
>>150708019Read it on webtoon, that's what updates first
>>150707631I think the reason why Taeshi thinks this way is because she's a nutcase who probably shrieks at Suitcase all the time and thinks that whoever is getting exploded on just needs to sit there and take it until the insanity burns itself out because they don't really mean it.Like, no bitch, that's not how it works. I knew a loud ass bitch in high school who would lob insults at everyone just all the time, mostly no one cared because she was always like that and was sometimes funny and did stupid shit like pull fire alarms "by accident", but when we'd heard someone finally snapped and decked her we were all only surprised it took so long.
>>150707989>Never has hit her back but always gets beaten.Oh, so Mike was way more right to react negatively during December. Calling someone a leeching bitch is not worse than beating your friend for years. Not even equal.>>150707981>That is the pattern with her. Lucy is rarely proactive, especially when it comes to solving her own problems.So what does Lucy want?>When Mike tried to move their relationship forward, she rejected it, and Mike didn't wait forever.>When she finally makes moves, it is way past late, and then it becomes everyone's problem.You cannot have it both ways.
>>150708038Alright. That's annoying, Webtoon doesn't work with my manga reader app.
>>150707831She's trying to say Mike was never available because he had Sandy as a secret penpal so her stupid trust issues were rational. This is the point where Lucy finally gets it hammered into her stupid fat head that all she had to do was say yes. She had two years to do that and she didn't.
>>150708052>Taeshi...thinks that whoever is getting exploded on just needs to sit there and take it until the insanity burns itself out because they don't really mean itWell that's clearly not a true universal rule, because she doesn't apply that same mentality to Mike. His friends got fed up with him for sperging and Lucy just kicked his stomach in mid-rant. Now, "rules for thee but not for me," that sounds more on-brand.
I dated a bpd-chan for a bit more than half a decade and I can confidently say that they will twist any situation to make themselves a victim. They will always believe they suffered most, that you are the bad person between the both of you when you don't do what they want. It doesn't matter how much they berate and emotionally abuse you; they're feelings are the most important.
>>150708063>So what does Lucy want?For Mike to reject Sandy totally and completely. On his own. With no prompting or effort on her part. Which I suppose would be very flattering for Lucy. Remember that she didn't internalize this obvious problem until someone else spelled it out for her.>>150708094>This is the point where Lucy finally gets it hammered into her stupid fat head that all she had to do was say yesIt wouldn't matter. Lucy thought/thinks that Mike would always end up leaving her for Sandy, a mindset I assume EF was meant to reinforce.
>>150708160>It wouldn't matter. Lucy thought/thinks that Mike would always end up leaving her for Sandy, a mindset I assume EF was meant to reinforce.Issue there is by that logic Lucy always had Paulo and did actually use him as a replacement teddy bear several fucking times in the comic. Plus, the only reason that Sandy and Mike even got together is cause Lucy is a reetard.
>>150708099That's true but Lucy is the main self-insert, meaning this mentality applies mostly to her. Everyone else has higher expectations.>>150708135Seriously, this. I lived under a BPD psychobitch for a while. She would scream abuse at her boyfriend like crazy and break shit during one of her episodes, but if you saw her outside she was a mousey wimp who had this air like if you raised her voice at her she'd crumble.I only knew she had BPD specifically because she told me as a way to say "pweease don't report me when I start screaming and stomping around at 2am I have issues!"
>>150708206>Issue there is by that logic Lucy always had Paulo and did actually use him as a replacement teddy bear several fucking times in the comic.Once upon a time, the comic would have noted Lucy's negative traits, including hypocrisy, and treated them like a bad thing. Which did actually happen, once upon a time. Of course, the modern audience has no reason to believe that BCB would apply that kind of pressure to Lucy ever again. Because it has not done so in for-fucking-ever.
>>150708211The kind of public cowardice and private shrieking does sound a lot like Taeshi.
I guess I'm pleasantly surprised at Lucy actually feeling bad instead of immediately girlbossing. That preview had me expecting the worst.It feels like the scene's kinda fizzling out here though.>>150707516Yeah the pivot on this has been crazy to watch. Being bitter over shit an elementary schooler did is suddenly very understandable when it's Lucy. A lot of very solemn discussion over the sheer betrayal of Mike wanting to hang out with somebody that didn't constantly hit and berate him as a kid. Also like, correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the things I noticed on a reread ages ago is that Lucy herself pushed Mike to accept Sandy as his girlfriend. She was obviously just mad at him for talking to another girl but like, it's no surprise that a guy like Mike took that shit at face value and made things official with Sandy.
>>150708211>She would scream abuse at her boyfriend like crazy and break shit during one of her episodes, but if you saw her outside she was a mousey wimp who had this air like if you raised her voice at her she'd crumble.Literally my ex. Around everyone else, she acted fragile and meek but in private she would scream at me and throw tantrums. I'll never forget the time I was comforting her during one of her episodes and she blurted out that she wanted to kill me.
>>150708290>It feels like the scene's kinda fizzling out here thoughWhat Mike and Lucy need to do--which should have been back during Eternal Flame--is actually spell out their issues to each other, with full honesty. Only doing so now would be stupid and weird with 2-3 other people standing right there. Since this ends with Mike exiled from the table, I assume plot-enabling bullshit happens instead.>>150708290>Lucy herself pushed Mike to accept Sandy as his girlfriendAccording to the Vacation Arc, Lucy really did think she could keep Mike as her totally-not-romantic-special-someone-who-would-always-take-care-of-her while he was dating Sandy. It's almost as if Lucy's insecurities are self-sabotaging. Now if only the comic would acknowledge that, she could become a decent character.
>>150707482Nice that Lucy regrets kicking him. But whether or not Mike really loved her or was using her as a Sandy replacement, it wouldn't make Lucy any less of a toxic, abusive partner.>>150707631First name Psycho, middle name Bitch, last name Lucy. But she prefers to go by last name.>>150707658Maybe he and James are staring in shock.>>150707723She abused him to use as a punching bag, way before jealousy for Sandy.>>150707821I'll read this one day, for now looking forward to seeing how sobbing bunny gets her stuffed toy back.>>150708005He got gut kicked for calling out his abuser too, double disrespect.>>150708038Hey, is V.C.D profoundly dramatic? Like do we have serious depression and verbal turmoil in it? Even then I can wait.>>150708135Sounds like Lucy, I still think they need psychiatric attention if they're seriously disruptive towards others.
>>150708290Yep, these moments of empathy make her slightly sympathetic and not as irredeemable.>>150708314I've experienced an abuser who acted like this, only a small number of people knew that she was a psycho cause she puts on a pretty convincing mask out in public or with extended family.
>>150708290>I guess I'm pleasantly surprised at Lucy actually feeling bad instead of immediately girlbossing.Based on Taeshi's comment, Lucy only feels bad because she accidentally proved Mike correct and not that she, you know, physically assaulted him like a psycho bitch.
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
>>150707700Give the kid a moment she just kicked him in the junk
>>150707969So it remains to be seen what would happen if Mike ever DID try hitting Lucy back. Ah, who am I kidding? Taeshi would conveniently forget about Mike's absurdly good reflexes and have Lucy dominate him in a fit of girlbossery.
>>150707482Violent assault is okay if I do it
>>150707831He was 3000% "available" so its somehow his fault she strung him along when he literally tried to go steady with her
>>150708685The problem is that Lucy did not believe Mike was truly "available" because in that he would not stay with her (a self-fulfilling prophecy).
>>150708724the problem is that she was an abusing bitch and MIke did nothing to her until he blow up and stopped talking to her
>>150708753There were and are many problems.
>>150708753>she was an abusing bitch Still is, If anything everything she said on EF was complete dogshit. Proves Mike shoulda never been her friend too.
>>150708894I wonder if Taeshi will again break the timeline to undo Lucy's obvious liar status.
Oh man what bullshit lecture is Lucy going to go on now? Is Mike going to have his spine scooped out again?
>>150707482Letters? What fucking letters? They've exclusively communicated through their phones for YEARS, in-universe and out
>>150707482A kick to the groin is no laughing manner, it can cause serious damage. Lock her up!
>>150708993Idk why people keep saying it's the groin, it's lower stomach at worst.She's still a cunt tho.
>>150708978Nigga you know he is.Mike = suffering.
>>150707722Mike should do this. His friend group is toxic, and they'll forever have a grudge against him. Just slap the bitch and cut ties.
>Mike's destined to end up with some abusive, BPD used-up whore>50/50 chance that she'll kill you in your sleep or worseGrim, all these girls and this is what you get. Oh well, at least highschool romances tend not to last long
>>150709013Does anyone have that one drawing of an older Mike who's all jaded after all this shit? He was wearing a sweater vest I think.
>>150709013she should go for the kitty that wrote the letters and play the mmorpgseems like less drama
>>150707505My called shot is that Lucy's gonna start on a speech, then Mike's gonna go Hurricane Neddy on everyone in the vicinity, including James for treating him like sour milk since New Years, and stomp off.
>>150708991You know, those letters. The ones from MIDDLE SCHOOL. Lucy is very slow of thinking so it takes her about three years to get back to you on anything, be it Paulo saving her life or how upset she was to find out that Mike was still in contact with Sandy.
>>150709039*he i meant he
>>150709041Which this bullshit, flanderized(heh) version of James deserves, unfortunately...
>>150709028This it?
>>150709060Yeah thanks.
post yfw the clock ticks one minute closer to mikenight
>>150707831>Didn't Mike make a move to try and be with Lucy way before the letters?He's been writing Sandy ever since she left during grade school. The only move he made on Lucy at that point was playing toy cars and tag with her
>>150709041this would be amazingbut I think Taeshi is going for him being completely defeated on the ground with everybody walking awayYou don't understand how hard she wants to make equal Lucy bullshit to what Mike did, is the only way to make a mentally ill abusive whore like Lucy to seem normal, is to make Mike look equally bad or worse> understand guys!> he played with her feelings!> of course her actions are acceptable!
>>150708978My bet is, as we saw happen in Eternal Flame, Lucy's own misdeeds are being given a passing acknowledgement before the focus of the scene quickly moves onto other matters. In this case, Mike's perceived past sins. I would be fairly astounded if Mike kept pressing Lucy on the matter instead of backing down, as he is obliged to do.>>150708991Waaaaaaaay back in volume 1, before the started talking over the phone, Mike and Sandy kept in contact by way of letter. This was the state of affairs after Sandy left Roseville but before she officially got together with Mike as a couple.
Progress
>>150709041It seems like that's exactly what should happen. Especially if Lucy makes it clear all the bullshit she's inflicted over the years was a result of jealous insecurity yet blames it solely on Mike. And while that explosion might feel extremely good in the short term, I think that James' reaction makes it very clear that anyone caught in the blast radius would once again shrug off Mike's criticisms by calling him a histrionic bitch.
>>150709060I still love this scenario by the way
>>150709142I feel like Mike's athletic twink status would get him destroyed in football, unless you're going by the European naming convention.
Mike, this has gone on for far too long now. Grab Abbey, and a pair of TEC-9's and make Columbine look like a fucking joke already. None of these people are worth hanging out with.
>>150709050>>150709091>Taeshi retroactively makes Mike do something offscreen prior to this moment that Lucy can use as ammo against him to automatically put her in the right regardless of how true Mike's accusations are>the retcon in question is tied to something he did in middle school which should to highschoolers feel a century ago and shows how far Lucy is willing to hold a grudge, but that doesn't matter to her or anyone in LucyspaceTHIS BITCH I SWEAR TO GOD
>>150709009Mike needs homies who let him hit abusers in self defense. Maybe Rocky and Calvin.
>>150709196>Taeshi uses blatant retcons to slam the "Lucy wins" button>accidentally makes her fursona look like even more of a psychotic malding loserThat tracks.
I wish the comic could be from Sue and McCain's perspective watching this years-long shitshow play out from the sidelines>sure does suck over there>mhm
>>150709273Taeshi really picks the dumbest shit to have an obsessive memory over.
>>150709196>Mike keeps his letters to and from Sandy a secret because Lucy'd freak>not only is he right, he underestimated how long she'd hold a grudge about thispsycho bitch
>>150709314Sue involves herself in the bullshit, though. She got her leg broken over a bruised ego and has tried to become Lucy's bestie.
>>150709376Mike is holding a grudge over a botched kiss from 5th grade.
>>150709410>grudge
>>150709325It's getting harder and harder to deny this comic has nigh-completely devolved into a Goldiemald-fueled personal fix/revenge-fic. And I say "nigh" because time and attention are devoted to Paisy.
>>150709410Mike was minding his own business and Augustus made an appearance to bully him so Lucy feels betterThe point is not even about Lucy, is just him not having 100% of the responsibility and a right to be outside
ENOUGH
>>150709253You know it is bad when I think the psychopath gangster bootleggers are less shitty humans then Augustus and Lucy
How would you fix your least favorite character? Other than Lucy, she's protected by God
>>150709512I would make Sue humblerI would give David some kind of defeat
>>150709501Fucking kek
I firmly believe Lucyspace is a real thing and that Lucy is a Marauder from World of Darkness that awakened after the Jump who now subconsciously twists the minds of those around her to fit her own fractured Consensus. Mike is not the real Mike, put her perception of Mike given form. Same for all her friends and loved ones.
>>150709512I was about to try and fix David but remembered he's not a real character.
>>150709501BASED
>>150709060Is that Paulo he's blushing for? That's cute!>>150709503I actually don't think they are, they're still criminals and murderers, Lucy and Augustus haven't reached that scale but are still shitty. Lucy being a domestic abuser wannabe at most.>>150709512Lucy is a beautifully written character, just not the most moral one.
>>150709538Lucy is a passively malicious psychic poisoning the minds of everyone in her general vicinity. Like a shittier Scarlet Witch.
>>150709431>random reddit image
>>150709581>the blatant Mary Sue self-insert fursona who faces zero real consequences is a "beautifully written character"
>>150709538>>150709585Lucy is an SCP
>>150708660>MIKE WITH THE FULL PARRY
>>150709595I stole it from your room after doing your mom.
Lucy is destined to become a single mother.
>>150709186I personally think that his speed would make him a good kick/punt returner who is like a 2nd string free safety on the roster.But that’s boring so I’m going to make him the 3rd string walk on quarterback who is forced into the starting role after both the starting and backup quarterbacks go down in the opening game against Ohio State(pic related)
>>150709512I would mercy kill Gus
>>150709410>b-but MikePathetic.>>150709512>AugustusI don't know, you can't fix him being such a gutless coward without changing the plot. I say lean into it, Lucy was too dumb to figure out that when he said he couldn't report Alejandro to the cops without going to jail he meant he's been an accessory to murder.
>>150709630I'm just saying that, canonically (for whatever that's worth), Mike is very quick and agile but has very low HP. One good tackle and he's out of the game.
>>150709635Misread the prompt. Would still kill.
>>150709638>Lucy suddenly gets assertive to protect herself with a new security blanket
>>150709629That poor, unfortunate child.
>>150709638>N-no don't bring up my hypocrisy AIEEEEThis chapter's done some good mental damage to the worst people here.
>>150709709Weird self-own, but okay.
>>150709647Eh, he withstood Lucy’s blows over the years pretty well and was able to go toe to toe with Alejandro(though admittedly he was drunk for that one). The coaches are also doping him up on stuff to make him stronger. Though he still doesn’t perform all that well because of how short he is. (Pic related)
>>150709709I'm 100% convinced that females can't into what is just.Can only understand how they feel.Mike made Lucy feel bad, so know it's okey to bully him out of the courtyard and "tell him the truth to his face" even if it is biased bullshit.
>>150709661>Lucy bitches Daisy out for being boy crazy>Doesn't voluntarily associate with anyone except whichever boy she's latching onto at the momentThat's why it'd be kino if Augustus was just some creepy little goon. Lucy'd walk into the trap with her eyes wide open because she has this unwarranted self-opinion of herself as being worldly because she's sarcastic and mean.>>150709709>Mike is upset because he spent two years navigating Lucy's deranged mixed signals and even years after he moved on people are still giving him shit like he should have spent the rest of his life doing thatI'm sure you're a hero in your own mind or something, but to everyone else you're a ridiculous loser with a grudge against a cartoon cat.
>>150709314
>>150709766I've met plenty of perfectly sane and rational women. Lucystans are, however, self-selected absolute dregs when it comes to that particular sex, along with at least a few very sad male simps.
>>150709810I'm salty that Taeshi removed Macain without giving him a in-universe farewell
>>150707727He has tried, but the capricious goddess who controls the strings he dances upon refuses to let those attempts to free himself to work.
>>150707821Caught up for real this time. I want to give Emily a hug...
>>150709838I'm sure she has a bluesky so you can go tell her yourself, like the big brave boy you are.
>>150709709Lucy is legitimately evil. An actual sociopathic bottom rung of morality
>>150709501kek
>>150709501Now do Mike jumpkicking Lucy in the chest like stinkmeaner>WHAT DID YOU SAY, WHITE CAT?
>>150708385>Hey, is V.C.D profoundly dramatic? Like do we have serious depression and verbal turmoil in it? Even then I can waitNot really, at least not the same level of insanity that BCB by lightyears. Still a very good read.Though with how much people here enjoy emotional sadomasochism you'll love one of the rival team captains (and also the current chapter is setting up some performance-related drama between the bunny and another teammate so theres that too).
>>150709709At this point Im convinced you were banned from the official discord and has nowhere to go. What did you do?
>>150709766At least you're being honest that you just hate women and you have no actual principles to stand on.>>150709790>If Mike starts losing his mind over Lucy not dating him 4 years prior he's merely upset, attacking Lucy for no reason was just a meme and he's not holding a grudge>If Lucy responds to this with the reason WHY she didn't give Mike bobs and vagene in the timeframe Mike himself brought up she's a psycho bitch holding a grudgeA smarter person would realize this makes no sense, but here we are.
>>150709940>At least you're being honest that you just hate women and you have no actual principles to stand on.there is no correlation between thinking that women are incapable of first principles and being just and hating womanthat's just a conclusion from your demented mindkids are also incapable of first principles and being just and I don't hate them
>>150709932You're convinced of that because it's why you're here and you're projecting.Last thread was filled with whiny discord rejects like yourself talking about how the creators bullied you, after all.
>>150709001>Idk why people keep saying it's the groin, it's lower stomach at worst.Lucy used that move a fair few times before and it kinda looked more ambiguous in the previous page if she had hit mike in the gut or went full bcbt.Maybe taeshi will save that for the pre-suicide mike humiliation conga montage or something.
>>150709940>attacking Lucy for no reasonShe was entering his life yet again, and he snapped out of it since he was done with her bullshit. Idk what cuck didnt last around you but they moved on, it's time for you to let go
>>150709961Im still on the discord, despite people harassing me in private messages. Or are you one of them? Do i have you on my blocked list?
>>150709960>I'm not a sexist weirdo I just think women are incapable of basic human concepts like justiceWhy are indians like this?
Taeshi is really retarded you guys.Did you know she is retarded and writes retarded things?
>>150709070Brother this is BCB the clock never moves it only twitches.
>>150709999>oh no my endless samey mikemalding isn't working>time to make this about race that's how 4chan works right?You are 13 years old.
>>150710011Yes, but the level of retardation is the part that intrigues. To what depths will this self-deluded woman sink on any given page, all while basking in the accolades of her carefully curated readership?
>>150709960
can an anon fill this in with Augustus, Lucy, and Mike?
>>150709960>>150709999
>>150710055which is which
>>150710061>whose
>>150710148Augustus (left)Lucy (middle)Mike (right)
>>150708525Another example of her fucking up the comic with her ironic commentary
What did Taeshi mean by this?
>>150710212she really likes deltarune chapter 1
>>150710262What a daring prediction.
>>150710212She mistook the shape for a buttplug.
>>150710201I dunno, that seems pretty spot-on for Lucy.
>>150708660"LETS GO, JUSTIN!"
>>150710212She is a homestuckfag and Mike and Lucy are a toxic kismesis relationship
>>150710212her obsession with david is starting to make sense
>>150709838I left a comment. Now check for how long until she deletes it.
>>150710186i forgot how augustus is
>>150710487KEK thats perfect
>>150709669For the life of me I cannot picture which would be the most disastrous scenario: a son or a daughter.
>>150710212Lucy and Mike isnt even a healthy kismessitude by homestuck standards.Lucy is shit.SHIT! worse than vriska.
>>150709810Now have him chokeslam Sue Abbey-style for partaking in such bitchery
>anon: "huhuhu~ I'm on the discord still, you'll never figure out who I am~"gonna guess it's the guy who talks about attractiveness privilege and shit every day lmao
Incredible how everyone just deserted the thread lol
>Lucyfags cant readWe truly live in a society
>>150709194Abbey is not going to shoot up the school, he'll probably just tell Mike to sit at his table and order everyone from the old table not to go near him. Also 99% of the track team are absolute bros at the moment, it's not their fault Mike got hung up on the flighty fag.
>>150709988Its pretty obvious who you are...
>>150710358It is but still that's something you should let your readers think for themselves and come to that conclusion, not joke with like you're above your own writing like that makes you less responsible for it making sense
>>150707482>comments: "look how regretful she is for kicking him in the guts, she's made so much progress ;_;"lmaoI'm glad she's being petty though it gives me a tiny bit of hope that the authorial intent is that they're both stupid messy bitches
>>150710782How is the reader supposed to come to any accurate conclusions when Taeshi herself can't decide whether or not to portray up as down, purely in-comic?
>>150708370>What Mike and Lucy need to do--which should have been back during Eternal Flame--isSex right there in front of everyone
I asked Gemini to predict the next page, not bad Google
>>150710763Sure, anyway your take on Lucy's aggression?
>>150709838>mexicanis she actually? I thought her mother was an arab
>>150709600I consider characters to be self-inspired at most and any lack of consequence to be necessarily narratively circumstantial.>>150709930I know I do, I hope Sonokido's unvierse escalates to that level. I'll look forward to checking it out.>>150710573Ha, Teruko never fails to make my day.
>>150710865I thought she lived in Sweden?
>>150710890she does but she's mixed
This needed to end with Aug getting his shit wrecked so hard he was left wondering if it was a good idea or not.It's just one extra layer of bullshit that all he got was a shove, and who knows how much he's hamming up how bad it hurt.He needed a broken bone.Now it's just bullshit that he effectively keikaku'd his way into getting exactly the outcome he wanted while giving up NOTHING.I guess Lucy might avoid him now but let's be real that's a positive.
>>150710839This is more distress Lucy has shown in a year of the comic, good job
>>150710839Oh that's it, they're both in love with Augustus lol.>>150710910She was pissing her snow white fur over Augustus being concerned about her.
>>150710839Lmao what was the prompt, Lucy and Mike both realize they want to fuck Paulo?
>>150709827One day brother.
>>150710839Incoherent
>>150710413I honestly think Taeshi managed to mindbreak herself and a portion of her audience by dragging out the Mike and Lucy conflict for so long. Even she can't see a happy ending in sight anymore so instead she's started to romanticize how awful she's made them for each other. She makes all this art of them being this broken couple that can't give each other up but the closest thing you get in the comic is them happening to be in the same area and looking upset. It's dry and sauceless and bodes really poorly for the future of the comic imo.
>>150710839>when your tsundere childhood best friend steals your sneak pics of your gay crush
>>150710947Oh yes please, please let it be that!
>>150710947Just "predict the next page". It generated characters crying for no reason all on its own>>150710997No shit lol
>>150710839How did you manage this? I can only generate humans unless you are japing and you drew this yourself in an effort to get around a Patreon ban.
>>150710806Well my point is more "she should let the audience try and figure out" than "she should just give the most egregious and bullshit reason "jokingly" only making things worse"
>>150711055Step 1: paste current page into geminiStep 2: enter a prompt like "generate the next page of this comic (bittersweet candy bowl)"Step 3: hit enter and exhaust about two car trips of CO2 into the atmosphereStep 4: copy/paste the result onto your favorite online forum in the hope that maybe someone will find the result mildly amusingThis was my ted talk thank you for listening
>>150711055Next page is Mike pathetically trying to apologize to Lucy (after getting kicked in the stomach) but unable to as Lucy interrupts and brings up Mike kissing her.
>>150711266That's bullshit, but I believe it.
>>150711266I find it hard to believe because Taeshi has come forward to say it was Lucy who went for the kiss, not Mike, but I wouldn't put it pass her to retcon things she has already set in stone
>>150711266This better be bullshit.
>>150710839>empty space telling Mike "I understand" poetry
>>150711266Very believable I fear
>>150711266But will Lucy say how much she wanted it and was only unhappy when she found out Mike was still with Sandy?
I'm surprised this comic's still running. Read it back in highschool, Like fourteen years ago.What's actually happened in the comic in the last decade or so?
Any art anons in the thread?
>>150711671Nothing of note I’m afraid. Lucy came back I guess.
>>150707658David is used purely as an attempt to do 'lol random' jokes, to be the comic relief, or to kiss another character's ass (usually Paulo or Lucy).>>150707505>>150707631Indeed. Like Taeshi herself said on the comment, Lucy just proved Mike right.>>150709041Yeah, he'll either do that, or just run away in silence. Either way it'll end with everyone shitting on him as usual
>>150707482WHAT FUCKING LETTERS!? THEY TEXT ON THE PHONE, THAT'S HOW MIKE BECAME A SANDY SIMP
>>150707482>tactically silences Mike so she can take back control of the conversationwell played, white cat
>>150711681I'm drawing gay shit.
>>150711446>picrelI don't get this one
>>150707482Who needs taeshi anyway. Ai can write the comic better
>>150707884Taeshit CANNOT get over the fact that Suitcase liked Goldie more than her.
>>150711976You know what? Have Finn and Felix making out in football uniforms. And if you can also draw Mike as a quarterback. Number 18. Have the logo be the pic, but replace the M with an I and make it Neon Green instead of Orange. >>150711996You need to be in deep twitter political circles to get it.
>>150712078Forgot to attach pic
>>150712035>Lucy is mute this entire time because she's actually Amaya in disguise trying to ruin Mike's other romance options.
I made another one, I don't remember if I posted it already
>>150712078Oh sorry I meant I am in the process of drawing gay BCB shit at the moment, not that I'm taking requests.>>150712137Lol, no I don't think you posted that one. Even I like this timeline 10x better.
>>150711266Taeshi I'm begging you just let him break up with Sandy already. I can't take it anymore. This didn't have to be what the chapter was about. Let Augustus back in, at least his bullshit was interesting. Literally anything other than Mike apologizing for sending letters to a girl he liked when he was fucking, 12? Or maybe younger? An entire comic, over a hundred chapters, running over a decade, all to torture a cat for dating somebody you're forcing him to stay with. He doesn't even know why he's with her! You couldn't even be bothered to give him a reason!And to top off the shit sundae I'm like 90% sure at this point that James is going to end up resenting Mike because he thinks Mike only cares about people he has a crush on. James, of all people.
I gave it the last several pages and told it to generate the next one and it gave me this, what did it mean by this?
>>150712137now post the sequel (that came first) and start making the one based on a few pages ago where Mike manhandles Augusta and she tells him to do it again but harder
>>150711266This is, upsetting. I have upmost faith in Veronica's writing though.>>150711446Must be Escobar.>>150711814They sent letters before that. Also is that an AbbeyxAmaya child?>>150711976I don't have any simple ideas in mind. Felix tugging Mike's scarf and spanking him in dominance might be too N.S.F.W for here. If you can draw any three to four boys group hugging Mike, that would be cute.But hey any gay horny cat art you make is welcome.
>>150708581why do you keep spamming this
>>150712266I'll see if I can do something like it in the future
>>150712172Damn
>>150709060Jaded Mike but he ends up dating Psych major Abbey.
>>150711578Thats so real tho, that kind of tongue fucking in public is so gross lol
>>150712307its from Boxaka the best artist in the booru
>>150712184Just give it one page with more dialogue.You've confused it with too many pages
>>150712590So when are they fucking TB?
Is she not aware the comic's entire history is available, anyone can take a cursory look at the archives and see that not a single character is behaving in a consistent manner
>>150712749rachel has never been inconsistent
>>150712655I dunno, could draw some if we get a trash thread. Wouldn't be the first time anyways.They'd be a cute couple if Taeshi would make them interact more.
>>150712655My brain is inebriated. Who's TB?
>>150712848Trashbadger. I edit and draw stuff, sometimes lewd.
>>150712848Tuberculosis
wheres the booru
>>150710529I think a son would be worse, because while any kid raised by Lucy would likely inherit her emotional instability, selfish nature, and intense sexism, those traits in a daughter would be LESS likely to create a serial killer. Either Lucy's son OR daughter would likely be possessive and obsessive, and commit the whole "stalk, abuse, gaslight, attempt rape" standard BCB romance routine, but I think a son would find it easier to make that second jump from abuser to murderer.
>>150713030Where's the trash thread?
>>150707856Did taeshi draw this wtf
>>150713067Her son would also get his ass kicked every day for being a little psycho. No one is tolerating male Lucy.
I wish a character we have never seen before, would suddenly come out of nowhere and scream at all of them about how retarded they're all being.
>>150712137I fucking love your edits!
>>150713260This is may result in Lucy’s son being a more functioning member of society as he learns that acting like a psychopath is bad.
Have I told you anons about the Bittersweet Kitten? The hypothetical grandchild of Lucy, Mike, Daisy and Paulo.
>>150713332>>150712137Was this one made by you too?
>>150712137>>150713332I headcanon that in the Augusta the Mikehunter verse these pages are back to back>oh so he's available? hold on I gotta go lock down my man
>>150713365Yep, it was me
>>150713372This one is my favorite.
>>150713372Yeah that one is a prequel to everything
>>150713067I was thinking more about Lucy's own treatment towards them.With a son, she'd be unbearably controlling and try to mold him into "the perfect man", and by that I mean warping him into a complete subservient man living under her thumb and tolerating all her shit, basically what she wants from Mike, and having apocalyptic meltdowns every time he displayed autonomy AKA 'abandoning her'With a daughter, Lucy would just straight up fucking DESPISE her, due to some strange phenomenon I can't quite understand but have seen happen, a mother will hold actual resentment and contempt for their daughter and wish them failure in everything, being particularly critical about any success and either downplay it or turn it into a failing..
>>150713392Dayum, if someone told me these are unedited (and I had no knowledge of BCB), I'd believe them, those edits are seamless.
>>150711266How fucking tiresome.
>>150713260That too. Lucy's hypothetical son would have a more miserable childhood, AND be more likely to be dangerous rather than "merely" parasitic. Lucy's hypothetical daughter on the other hand would only make herself and anyone who lets her latch on miserable.Therefor, from a utilitarian perspective, the daughter is the less disastrous scenario. She will merely be a problem within a small social circle, rather than a problem for everyone she comes across.>>150713412Lucy wouldn't browbeat a son into subservience, she'd give him a blank check to act like a monster by telling him that "girls are attention whores" and "boys will be boys". Remember, Lucy STILL loves Mike, despite him telling her she's an unloveable parasite and he hates her. Lucy's hostility towards Mike or Paulo isn't because they aren't sufficiently doting; she's just like that.
>>150710839This is what it gave me
>>150713542He's inflating big and round at the end there
>>150707482Cute bunny girl found her stuffed animal.
>>150713610Oh thank god.
What were we on last thread that we had nearly blown through the entire thing by this time?
>>150713639Bloodlust.
>>150712590Cute. They can be depressed together.>>150712615Oh nice. Teruko, Nume, and Ashnoodles have always been my favorite, I adore the latter's designs.>>150712888I love Trashbadger's gay ass ship art, so cute!>>150713072I'm making one on Halloween for everyone who wants spooky themed cats to fuck.>>150713345Go for it.>>150713334Going by how Jack (her son with Paulo) is in the comics, probably not. I forsee her being abusive or raising a monster.
>>150713403I wish girls still dressed like that
>>150713617Yep. I wonder who that is giving it to her. She looks so happy.I guess we know what Mary's videogame weakness is (other than Fauna getting hurt or being mad at her).
Lol I just remembered they're upping the price for the patreon. I wonder if Suitcase's gambling addiction has put them in the hole.
>>150712078For the confusion I'll draw a quarterback Mike.>>150713767If they're that desperate I wouldn't be surprised if they go the VG cats route...
>>150713906By that you mean official BCB lewds?
>>150713954Yeah... it's never really a good route though, with VG cats the author had an absolutely horrid style for it so it looked awful.
>>150713975orangebox did way better vgcats porn
>>150707658David went to buy a burrito across the street four pages ago, he is aware of the fourth wall and how Taeshi writes, he knows that he is missing nothing important
>>150711266"Quiet, Michael. A strong independent narrative is talking."Seriously though. Assuming this is true (and I have no reason to disbelieve it), Taeshi is accidentally admitting that Lucy cannot function on an even playing field. Mike needs to be shut up because the last time he had free reign, he completely destroyed Worst Cat.
>>150713906Kizunanon?
>>150710839Gay Mike arc confirmed.
>>150712181>Literally anything other than Mike apologizing for sending letters to a girl he liked when he was fucking, 12Holy shit that all makes senseThese "letters" are the parallel to the messages Suitcase sent when he was like 12/14 to some girl on the Sonamy fourm in 2003, with the text being also equivalent to those messagesI keep forgetting this entire comic is meant to be vent rage about Goldie
>>150714331I have to wonder what'd happen if someone whose opinion Taeshi cares about learned of this and told her this is not only insane but pathetic.
>>150714268No, trashbadger.
>>150713566He also got boobs for some reason
>>150707482>>150713542Hilarious and probably better then what we'll get.My Prediction:LUCY: YOU STRUNG ME ALONG AS A SUBSISTUTE FOR YER WHORE GIRLFRIEND!Mike: Nuh uh.. J-James.. don't..Lucy: That's all he does, he's a user and looks for people to do emotional labor for him. *Points to James* He's bad.James glares at Mike like he's the worst piece of shit ever. Lucy: Anyways, Im done here, let's go girls.James glaring daggers at Mike walks back with Lucy, David has derp face, Augustus smug.James: Ermergerd Lucy, you did NOT tell me you were SUCH a girlboss, was he really that awful?James then becomes catty gay bestie who wants to spill the tee and oh my gosh let's shit talk Mike!!!Paulo will be the reluctant "Ackshually guys Mike is pretty sympathetic, unless IM pissed at him or wanting Lucy brownie points, then fuck that guy."With Lucy's reluctant return to their gay ass cafeteria melodrama table - Mike cries,pisses,shits and possibly cums outside - utterly mindbroken.Then cue like 6-18 months of Mike wallowing before he decides to jump off a building or some shit.
>>150715034Spock's face says that he'd take a thousand McCoys over being associated with this bullshit.
>>150715034I'm glad Mike suffering has given Taeshi the energy boost needed to start actually posting on her tumblr again.
>>150714268Completely different artist, idiot
>An athletic young adolescent gets his ass kicked by a much smaller chick after he just pushed down that fucboi earlier.I fucking hate modern fiction. You going to tell me Lucy shoots laser beams from her eyes and can punch holes through walls with ease.
>>150713229I was wondering the exact same thing. Did she really draw this?
>>150715260Yeah, she did. You can go to her bluesky profile right now and it's one of the first few entries in the media tab.
>>150715034>everyone likes him moreIs Taeshi senile? I thought Mike's problem was that he thought they didn't like him at all and just wanted to use him for Lucy.
To whoever posted that 3d animation of Mike domming Augustus to the booru, you're based. I wish you made more male on female content though. Oh well it is what it is.
I wish Mike would either kill himself or fuck off. Watching him constantly flail about and blunder away all his goodwill is so tiresome.
>>150715034Knowing this is the mentality that her main supporters all seem to have is so disheartening...
Holy shit, what is the BCB discord saying about this rn?
>>150715899>The author of the story and 99% of the people reading it are wrong!
>>150715034I’m sure I’ve read Taeshi blogpost about how Mike didn’t really believe any of his friends liked him and thought they always put Lucy first. Now he believed everyone loved him more? What?
>>150716525There is no consistency, there is just whatever perceived trauma she is forcing her fanbase to watch her relive this week/month/year through her characters
>>150716525>Believing anything Taeshi days not on the fucking comic itself Never believe her lies or threats of consistency
>>150716525https://bittersweetcandybowl.tumblr.com/post/155046784674/i-was-wondering-does-paulo-know-the-full-extent>-They literally watched their childhood friend sobbing heavily in remorse for his own guilty feelings, and expressing despair at the idea that his own group of friends never cared about him in the first place, that Lucy was the one they only cared about. No matter how much abuse he tolerated from her. >That’s A LOT for a young boy to take in, and for a lot of conflicted friends to take in, especially conflicted friends who DO care about him. It sucks that Mike thinks he’s not wanted!! Doesn’t that kinda mirror the feelings of someone else?? Someone who was very-well actively wanted at Mike’s own expense??Yeah, but that was also 9 years ago when Taeshi said things that she's straight up retconned now. Besides, Taeshi had zero clue how to resolve this half-baked "Lucy and Paulo's verbal and physical abuse destroyed Mike's self-esteem and confidence that anyone genuinely likes him" plotline without saying Lucy and Paulo are abusive.
>>150715500Apparently she forgot that Mike deliberately lied to Lucy to make her feel worse and later admitted the opposite to the table. And backreading is so very hard.
>>150716525>>150716549>>150716555>>150716595Taeshi's da Jokah, baybee!
>>150715926>Giving a shit what the predator pit thinks
>>150707482How many more years are these furries going to be fighting each other.
>>150716784+20 years added for asking that in the thread
>>150716805sorry guys
Reminder that December was FOURTEEN YEARS AGO and we're still dealing with the fallout because it has been less than a year comic time.
Where did Yashi learn to call other girls approaching Mike (mostly Daisy) "bitch"? Kids tend to mimic adults, more easily the "favorite one"And why didnt Lucy stop Yashi about the whole "Mike husband" way before the crash down, if she took the letters so horribly she still holds a grudge? And is she talking really about the kiss from Eternal Flame, or it's yet another from their childhood, when Mike "choose" her by kissing her, and got butthurt when that kiss "meant" nothing in the end as Mike (whom told her afterwords he wouldnt keep playing hot n cold for long) decided he would get with Sandy? And did Lucy push him towards this choice by both encouraging him with Sandy AND being mean to him, or did we read a different comic?
>>150716420The author and her toadies are fucking retards, yes.
>>150713906Banger
>>150713906I did request the M be changed to an I, but it’s fine.
>>150714331Oh my fucking god, that makes so much sense...I guess she wrote this part during her annual period of mourning.
>>150718599I'll fix it later.
>>150715034>Everyone likes him more>When they keep throwing him under the bus and taking white cat's side in everything
So how the fuck does she go from >>150716595 to this>>150715034 without sounding like a morron?That is not just forgetting what you fucking wrote. That fucking shit above doesn't even fucking make sense.
>>150715231It was a surprise full force gut/groin kick calm down. It wasnt like it was a regukar engagement
>>150715034>They like Mike more>Paulo to Lucy: "I'll stop being his friend if you want."EF was such a clusterfuck it makes the entire comic feel inconsistent anyways, you don't even need to bring up moments like that. I wonder if Taeshi thinks that having Lucy always magically show up wherever Mike goes when he's vulnerable is some clever way of saying they're meant to be... Like, no, she's fucking stalking him. We always see how and why Mike ends up where he does, but Lucy shows up out of nowhere and at best it gets explained after the fact.If Mike and Lucy got together with the issues they have, they would seem great on the surface but one day Lucy would go missing and it would come out Mike killed her in a fit of rage after years of physical and emotional abuse.
>>150719113>If Mike and Lucy got together with the issues they have, they would seem great on the surface but one day Lucy would go missing and it would come out Mike killed her in a fit of rage after years of physical and emotional abuse.Go full scorched earth and mke the reasonn he snapped is cause lucy was leading one of their kids down the same path he got led down, so he took her out. Kids(boy & girl) are "fine" since he never touched them.
>>150711443>Even AI knows this comic is schizo.
>>150719161>Mike lasted until having 2 kids old enough for Lucy to start ruining.No way, no one could last that long. Superman would be struggling with the urge to strangle her ass 5 mins after the wedding.
>>150707482So this is all because she still feels hurt Mike was interested in two girls around the same time? Also, wasn't Lucy flirting with Paulo a bunch when this was going on?
I don’t know which one banned me but I did get banned from a server with them for saying that Suitcase is mean and has kind of a privileged take on the economy.
>>150719500I figure Suitcase would have to be privileged to keep up with this charade that it's valid for his wife to have an annual period of mourning because he texted some chick before they were even dating like 20 years ago.You have to have no real problems or be completely dependent on your spouse to tolerate that.
>>150719549Well they’re both from Australia but live in New York. You have to have a lot of money to immigrate and especially so to live in New York.
>>150713325If I could do one thing, I'd introduce a golden retriever named Amy, say her and Mike were friends in preschool which he doesnt remember but it gets them talking, make her be hot, popular, and pleasant to be around but realisitically check other characters when they act insane, all just to make Taeshi lose her fucking mind.
>>150719560Taeshi's not from Australia she's American
>>150719820Oh so it’s just Suitcase then? I remember them saying something about it before.
>>150719820Ecuadorian, actually, I believe.
>>150719921That being saidshe has nice tits
>>150719921If I remember correctly Taeshi was born in America but her parents were immigrants from Ecuador. That said she did spend some time during her youth with her grandparents in the country. Also I thought she moved to Australia to live with suitcase?
>>150719477Fine for me not for thee
Reminder: Lucy is in a coma, she's imagining a world in which she is Jesus suffering for others' sins, Mike is her Judas, and everyone else is just the fools who he tricked.
>>150720091Doesn't work cause Mike (and everyone around Lucy) have all been suffering for her.
>>150720110Suffering as in getting their just desserts for not doing what she wanted.
>>150719988The important part is that she is an international retard.
>>150719240Takes a while to build murderous rage when your wife will constantly guilt you with suicide. Only snapped cause she was looking to repeat the cycle. Plus he made sure neither kid has a mom (or dad if he gets caught) so it's fine.Guess Amaya can be a stepmother if he doesn't get caught.
>>150720128>Suffering as in getting their just desserts for not doing what she wanted.What did Lucy want them to do?
>>150713229Yes, suitcase posted it as "taeshis prediction for next page". She draws a lot of crazy shit if you look into it, her more unfiltered/edgy side isnt as strong now but its definitely still there.
>>150719113>Lucy always shows up wherever Mike goes when he’s vulnerable.It greatly reduces his culpability for what occurs, which is definitely not what she intends. Anyone could have been under that tree and Mike would have sought solace with them, Lucy’s not special.
>>150707856this would unironically save the comic
>>150720311In a milquetoast completely dull sort of way. The tumblr post comparison earlier has also convinced me she is just insane and will believe whatever version of reality appeals most.
>>150720317It's true, there is an entire BCI devoted to that notion with Daisy being there instead.
>>150720311She did like Love Me and True Colors but ironically got pissy at Four Play where Mike had a sweet time fucking his three spicy fluffy girlfriends slash future baby makers.
>>150718884BPD. Taeshi mirrors whatever the person she’s responding to says because she’s desperate to be liked. Unless they cross an invisible line and then she’s screaming at them
>>150720344So Taeshi is a social chameleon who will shamelessly ape whatever belief is espoused by the other person?
>>150720317Yes but canonically it WAS Lucy... and it was so poorly done that anons here were theorizing Mike was hallucinating and using art mistakes or choices to justify it just to find that no, the comic is just that bad now. Mucy is clearly the fated ship even though everyone can see how bad it is.Anyways my point was that a lot of bullshit happens to make those two show up at the same spots at critical moments that make it seem fated, but that doesn't wash away that they're a horrid couple.
>>150709826If this comic was ever good, it was before McCain got thanosed
>>150721051McCain was part of Tess's class right? Didn't he graduate?
>>150721251there was no in-universe farewell, he just disappearedAnd I think he was part of Mike and Lucy classroom
>>150721773>Taeshi ditches McCain with no explanation.>Keeps David.Worst timeline.
>>150721835David does absolutely suck ass. Such an annoying character.
>>150721835I can't believe David would hit it then quit it
>>150721964>David>a "character"
>>150713906>>150718599Feex.
Bumping because fuck it.
Fuck it. I'm finishing consequences.Where's my stupid graphics tablet.
>>150722777Nice trips
>>150722820What's that?
>>150715116Spock and McCoy never even really disliked each other, they just professionally butted heads on occasion (and this largely served to temper the extremes of both of them).
>>150723085I know but Spock still wouldn't love to get badgered by several Enterprise crew's worth of the guy.
>>150722958Archive or Booru.
>>150720474that implies a level of social intelligence she does not possess.no, with BPD it's more like they try to conform until something trivial and completely unpredictable (even to the person with BPD) flips their spergout switch. with aspies and autists the spergout switch is usually at least more reliable - you can learn what to avoid.also, affirmative support meant for depressives is something BPDs get during their lows and don't stop craving during mania (despite not deserving any and it only serving to enable and outright encourage even worse behavior during a manic episode).manic episodes in BPD are in a similar spot to NPD where if medications aren't working the best you can hope for is literally forcing them to mask. sometimes people in BPD manic episodes also literally hallucinate. it's somewhat comorbid with schizophrenia.
HOLY GEM
>>150716555>Believing anything Taeshi says everftfy
>>150723499Aren't you mixing BPD with Bipolar disorder? BPDs have poor emotional regulation which usually translate as mood swings, but actual manic periods are the territory of a mood disorder. Not to say you can't have both though.
>>150712184the AI craves Mike selfcest
>>150723611you're right, there is so much symptom overlap between BPD and bipolar that i had confused the two - i was actually talking from experience dealing with someone who had both.
>>150720338How much do I have to pay Taeshi to write a BCI where Abbey was randomly hanging out under that tree keeping an eye on his little sister playing in the snow?
Whatever happened to McCain?
>>150724917Removed because his fans were too annoying: https://bittersweetcandybowl.tumblr.com/post/148072816932/oh-no-mccain-isnt-coming-back-either-he-was-one
>>150724947>honestly people clamouring for him motivates me to not include him even more.what possesses a person to be like this
>>150724947>I felt McCain was a cool enough character to deserve that kinda respect, which is another reason why I don’t just shove David into everything
