he said Rachel, not Jordan, when trying to convince Augustus to go in
implying Augustus likes Rachel's company, and its a positive to spend time with her
yes, my ship is becoming real

>>150954189
Looks like James hitched his wagon to an actual abuser.

>>150954189
I'm willing to bet it's something along the lines of James saying "you know, thinking about it, that situation was weird, maybe I should go ask Mike..." and David cutting him off with "NO! MIKE IS LE BAD!"

>>150954205
David would justify it by saying Jordan is lame. But then he'd probably also want to see Rachel ruined by Augustus, too.

This page is awful, but at least your mother fucking loves you.

I wonder if the leakanons have survived to see another update

>>150954189
something something telling james to join the table too so he's not stuck dealing with mike

>>150954220
James is being portrayed very strangely. Why declare Mike to be awful and THEN ask for his side of the story, permission to be ejected from the table, etc.?

>>150954213
Not at all, it was based when he said Lucy should go inside and then David stopped being cool last chapter.

Rachel doesn't seem like the type to be into malicious jackasses. Yeah, I know, her thing with Paulo. But that always seemed to be in spite of his asshole tendencies, not because of them.

>>150954305
Paulo's not really that malicious he's just dumb, any time he lashes out it's spur of the moment and then usually water under the bridge after he chills out. Augustus premeditates manipulating and fucking with people totally clear headed

cue that preview pic, david says fuck no, if lucy-baby (literally) is back at the table then he's not wasting time outside. james says o-ok and mike is one step closer to killing himself
Taeshi must really regret making James somehow because the character assassination here is insane. James went from uplifting and compassionate and caring when he was interested in Mike to just an absolute complete dickriding retard with David. I dont get it. I really wish this comic still had real antagonists so that there was at least hope of someone fucking breaking David's legs

>>150954373
But Augustus isn't pathetic. Well, not in the same way as Paulo's whiny self. I don't think being Lucy's live-in attack chihuahua counts in Rachel's eyes.

Honestly this is good, now Mike gets what he wants and Lucy can be with her shit drizzling friends. Mike never did liked these niggas, Paulo kept bugging him about his relationship with Sandy and Sue kept acting like he’s the devil because she got lashed out.

Augustus makes sense because why the fuck is Daisy’s creep hanging around?

Right? “OH IS SHE SAYING YES?””OH WAIT NOOOOO SHES ACTUALLY SAID NOOOO BUT SHE WAS TOO DEPRESSEO ESPRESSO

I was out walking and a girl holding scissors and most of her face covered by a scarf walked up to me. She asked me if she was pretty and I said she was, then she took down her scarf and showed off her cheeks were slashed open from ear to ear and repeated her question. I said yes again and she carved up my face. As I lay bleeding out on the street I explained "I sed ur pretty cuz ur beautiful on the inside." liek dis if you cry every time ;_;
Before that though she said "OH MY GOD JUST GO INSIDE GOD DAMN IT STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!"
>>150954189
James wants to keep practicing, David screeches he's going inside for muh Lussy and James says he'll follow David because he's too stupid to figure out he's been cockblocked.

>>150954490
True.

>>150954471
Mike isn't even acting like a twat. He lashed out at Paulo and Sue, and has already mended things with Paulo. Mike is outside trying to hang out with James, while they're bringing up the past.

>>150954415

It's more like he's getting what he needs. Or he would if Taeshi would let anything positive happen to this forsaken cat. He'll probably end up struck by lightning or a rogue meteor.

the one single most timeless problem i have with this, above all the rest, that drives me absolutely insane is that Lucy hasnt done even one single thing in this entire comic to earn this constant adoration and obsession, and never will
in any real school with real kids lucy would just be that weird girl who tried to kill herself and moved away. maybe that weird girl who tried to kill herself and then moved away and started dating the weird homeless retard tried to rape a girl one time.
the undeserved worship is particularly egregious with how hard David goes at it. Arent he and Paulo supposed to be besties? Didnt she completely shit all over Paulo and lead him him (the one thing Gus is bitching at MIKE for?) and then hit him? Or are we heading for a "david is a shit friend" arc for paulo to mirror mike losing james?

>>150954506
should I remind everyone of the Taeshi approved dick scaling
shit if I only had the stupid comic

>>150954471
It's the Reverse December because Mike is being told/convinced that he's
1. the abusive parasitic villain of the story
2. far less valued by his friends compared to Lucy and would be exiled in favor of her
3. getting what remains of his self-esteem imploded

I think I actually agree that staying inside would have spared Mike a lot of trouble. Not that it would have lasted, but my God. He picks the worst people to latch onto. MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE WHO AREN'T JUST AFTER YOUR ASSHOLE, RETARD.

>>150954413
By this logic, Rachel should immidely orgasm upon seeing Mike, the cat of misery

>>150954521
They're not even bringing up the past properly. It's become straight up lying about shit.

He tried that with James. There is no winning for Michael Graycat.

>>150954564
It's definitely a writing oversight. One of a great many.

>>150954588
You're so right it kind of infuriates.

The thing about "This is all a Reverse December!!" is that there's no in-universe indication Mike is being treated unfairly, while in Lucy's case it was pretty obvious that Mike was wrong (even though he was Right)

>>150954614
>there's no in-universe indication Mike is being treated unfairly
lol

>>150954590
He tried taming a lust into a friendship, of course it failed miserably. The moment James became outspoken about his desire Mike should have noped out and stopped investing. Right now he could be enjoying a nice conversation with some jocks, but now he is in this fucking mess while he gets his reputation dragged through the mud even more.

>>150954614
How so? Mike pulled out the receipts during December to show that Lucy really had been terrible to him, supporting an already acknowledged fact. It was Lucy's immediate actions following Mike's rant and subsequent events that somewhat eroded the justification.

>>150954655
Mike lacks the self confidence to initiate new connections on his own because he thinks he doesn't deserve it, so he needs someone being as forward and pushy as James was to accept it. Even if the jocks are great potential friends they aren't going to go out of their way to chase Mike down and make him be their friend.

>>150954545
Did you forget paulo was lucy's biggest simp? that shit just doesn't go away that easily, lucy craps all over him and there's paulo once again trying to be friendly. Recently the guy has just been meh around her, he's prioritizing mike now but he isn't exactly picking a side just yet. Double date chapter may change things though, I have a strong feeling everything remaining on mike's life is gonna blow up in his face when it comes around.

>>150954655
>He tried taming a lust into a friendship, of course it failed miserably
You miss the point. Mike did not recognize James' attention as the result of lust. He assumed the kid wanted to be friends. I don't disagree that Mike should have stopped pining for the guy's attention, but that's because of how easily James dropped him. It's just the same fucking Lucy-Sandy careless asshole user problem.

That's not the worst explanation I've ever seen. It's a lot better than clumsily recycling Lucy's own attachment issues.

>>150954457
>December
Personal between Mike and Lucy, no physical abuse, all grievances were real. Mike went too far but it made sense because he was very sensitive. The consequences are slowly felt the next chapters
>The great track kerfuffle
Starts with bullying in front of people, made VERY obvious how malicious it is, one of the parts involved wasn't even participating. One witness is biased towards one side, the other is useless. Starting grievances are made up, second part grievances are very VERY overblown. Violence used to shut up one side when giving his version. Lucy gave up her character the whole time and only acted to kick Mike, the regressed back to a parasite. Forced resolution into a new status quo, the reader is outright told how things will be now

It's "Taeshi makes things worse trying to achieve pottery", AGAIN

>>150954471
>It’s just someone getting ostracized out of their friend group because they kept acting like a twat about their long distant slut of a girlfriend


His friend's shittiness aside, he had already apologized for that way back when the track team was introduced. Mike has done nothing to deserve what's happening to him right now at all.

>>150954561
>MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE WHO AREN'T JUST AFTER YOUR ASSHOLE, RETARD.

The problem with that is that Mike is just going to be paranoid for a long time thanks to james. He showered Mike in compliments and then cared fuck all about him the same night they agreed to just be friends after James admitted his feelings.

He's going to be weary of anyone really being nice to him after that, especially with what's happening now.


Yeah he could have stayed inside with the rest of the team, but James was the one that pulled him into the group. Him being afraid of losing that "Friendship" because he didn't get romantic with him is a fear with foundation at this point.


>>150954614
The only thing Mike was wrong about was his friends leaving her. He knew that but he just wanted to hurt her. But he's been cosmically punished for rejecting her at all for over a decade at this point.

>>150954561
Maybe if he didnt care and Augustus asked nicely. Instead the edgefag basically went "I dont give a fuck about your feelings. Stay inside." Fuck em all.

As for making new friends, Mike tried that only for the tablefags or Lucy's goon to intrude on their own and ruin it

The most jarring part of these last few pages is that taeshi completely forgot how to write david. His personality, humor, and role feels like someone who hasn't read the comic writing him based off a general description. He's no longer the mysterious weird guy totally in his own world who harasses, hes a generically quirky guy whos magically the best at everything and heccin wholesomely cares for lucy. That worked when he was a joke character, but this random guy being faster and stronger than the most athletic character and the ENTIRE TRACK TEAM is just a bullshit plot device once its anything more than an offhand joke. Reading some old BCIs and chapters lately reminded me why u liked david, because he was a completely fucking different character than current david.

...Write David?

>>150954900
she's trying to keep his gag character qualities while the story's tone for the past few years just doesn't work with it. If any other story tried this, things would have gone south for david already because he basically does things without thinking of or suffering any consequences.

>>150954900
David has never been a real character anon, he's just there to push the cast into awful new directions and get no consequences from it. Remind yourself who pushed Paulo and also who came with the idea of stalking Mike

>>150955135
This. Taeshi is pretending David is a real character because she needs a way to push the plot along, but the precision and general wrong-headedness of what needs to be done requires that David stay his usual dumbass untouchable self. Actual characters are subject to cause and effect, but David remains basically immune to either.

>>150954521
You know how Mike's core issue is that he's totally allergic to doing social maintenance, like going "hey, stop that, I don't like it" or "I'd appreciate it if we could hang out more" or whatever? Instead he just bottles things up until they curdle into spite and resentment.

I feel like that applies to the entire cast around Mike too, to a lesser degree. I'd think that his friends would go "Mike, stop acting like a dick" when he gets all passive-aggressive, but the only two types of social interactions that Mike has are "Mike you're a good friend/you're so nice/I *hic* love ya man", or being told he's a piece of shit who should fuck off.

It's actually very amusing how Taeshi had to solve the way she wrote herself into a corner. How do you move the plot when your main character can't be seen as responsible for her actions and can't face any consequences else the idolatry that's been keeping your comic alive dies? Use a character so hollow and unimportant that can shake any kind of consequences off his shoulders and have him push her. After all it is David's fault! Lucy never said yes :), but David is a silly guy so you shouldn't take his actions as malicious, he just made an oopsie! :)))
Reminder Augustus will face no consequences from this

>>150955232
>Mike's core issue is that he's totally allergic to doing social maintenance
Mike's actual core issue he's way too fucking forgiving, which seems to be a result of thinking the people around him are better than they actually are. He's definitely out of practice when it comes to setting up personal boundaries.

>>150955232
His core issue was already noted by Daisy. He doesnt put himself first enough and he can be guilt tripped super easy. She even did it then to show.

>>150955232
I feel it's so unfair the way Mike's handled in the story because usually when people criticize Mike they mention normal teenage behaviors while everyone else is so much worse.
And yet Mike suffers.

>>150954900

>>150954545
>Or are we heading for a "david is a shit friend" arc for paulo to mirror mike losing james?
Man I wish, I REALLY wish both David and Lucy got humbled by the plot, that they'd have people call out on their bullshit and stuff, but unfortunately it's just not the way this comic works.
The way this comic works is very simple: Taeshi has her self-insert (Lucy), she has her favorites (including David), and she never intentionally does anything in the plot to have them face any consequences, no matter how ridiculous they act. They'll always be painted as being the right ones.

And yeah you're right, other than being pretty and thus having boys thirst for her, Lucy never did much to incur this constant adoration. She is not a celebrity, she is not charismatic, she is not nice, she is not helpful towards others, so why the hell do people praise her so much?

>>150955329
Flak0ps is 200% better at writing drama

>>150955383
I think that once again, Taeshi failed to cleanly portray a point. Because Mike was far more aware of his supposed misdeeds than Daisy was, making it easy to assume she was underestimating the situation.

Just drop the MikexLucy endgame like you dropped AbbeyxDaisy, and everything will be fine Tae.

>>150954545
I think the other problem is that what Mike did in December wasn't really all that bad (he said something very mean in a comic where the characters are constantly saying very mean things and punching eachother, usually with zero consequences unless it leads to a couple breaking up), but it ended up being the thing that the whole comic revolves around

>>150955467
Most people would be. Even the retards here can and have written circles around Taeshi.

>>150955547
The suicide attempt was a "Get out of Jail Free" card for Lucy both in and out of universe. Nobody can bring up how shitty she was to Mike or anyone else because she can just shut them down with that. She even did this to her own mother when she brought up a point about her mental state.

He can only bully people he knows wont slap his shit back. Especially since both Abbey and Mike physically could, but he knew the buttons to get them to stop.

And in a recent case Mike got kicked by Lucy.

He was about to get beat up by fucking Paulo years ago because he didn't have any "breaking speech" for him.

Augustus IS pathetic.

She doesn't even use it for that, though! Literally a few pages ago, Lucy chose instead to kick Mike then set off a copium bug bomb about Mike using her to feel better about himself while failing her as a best friend.

Being a crazy BPD bitch isn't a problem for writing drama comics like these imo, nobody knows drama like them. Taeshi's real problem is that she lives in a hug chamber bubble and has no real life experiences outside of marrying her middle school internet boyfriend and living in her autism cave drawing comics and playing pokemon go.

This. Remember, Taeshi used to actually be a better writer once upon a time, despite having been at this for fewer years. It's been the total lack of pushback or basic criticism that's allowed her to indulge her worst impulses and degrade in basic skill.

Taeshi personality is not even her problem, sure its fun to shit on her about it, but the problem is that she ignores criticism, flanderizes the shit out of the characters, and the comic is permanently stuck in a chud state of nothing ever happens

I think it genuinely could happen. Taeshi will never commit to an actual gay endgame ship but I will be surprised if the comic ends with Paulo never having kissed Mike.
Also now that I think about it, this panel is probably Paulo finding out about the library kiss, since there's not a whole lot else Daisy would be nervous about him discovering.

>>150955845
This. Curb your ego, Taeshi

>>150955756

Why would Paulo be angry about that, though? The kiss happened before the two started dating and didn't go anywhere.

>>150954413
Nah Augustus is pathetic. He is also the sort that'll fold hard if you get physical with him and he has no help

>>150955966
Paulo is immature as fuck. Despite having committed Daisy, there's also been no evidence he's gotten over the 10 other people he's been crushing on including Mike, so there might be two way jealousy there as well.

>>150955941
>Dad walks in while you're reading that page
>"What the fuck is this gay shit?"

>>150955966
Itd make his inferiority complex toward Mike flare up probably like when he initiated shit when Mike was hanging out with James

>>150955135
David has been around from the start, but the only things he's done with any plot consequence are telling Paulo to go after Daisy during the Acapulco arc, and telling Paulo to fuck two girls in two days (he also told Paulo he was gay for him out of nowhere that one time but that went nowhere and was never mentioned again). He could be a little cartoon devil on Paulo's shoulder and nothing would change.

I wonder why he didn't just get written out

>>150955966
Because these things kinda matter to men, it would be similar if Mike realised that Lucy blew Polo

THis makes me wonder, just how big and known IS BCB outside of the site and her discord. The comic has been running since the 00s. But if it had any actual presence, i think people would have brought it up at some point.


>>150955966
Normally this would be true. At most he'd be a little irritated. But Paulo isn't very mature and Mike is involved. So things of course have to end up Nuclear.

>>150956009
>I wonder why he didn't just get written out


He was a fan favorite that wasn't a fan character like tess and McCain. Last i remember, Taeshi didn't like fan characters being more popular than the ones that she made up herself so they got written out.

>>150955995
>>150956000
I dunno, it just feels like Daisy should have to do something more, like hitting on Sandy while they're in the bathroom together. That way Paulo has something to be legitimately upset about but there's also a bit of irony to the situation.

>>150955966
One, he's male Lucy so a reason to be mad isn't needed, two it plays into his already fucked up self importance, "she wants me over Mike" isn't the same as "she wants me because it didn't work with Mike", they're already each other's last choice but sure as fuck don't want to hear that from the other

>>150956014
I kind of wonder if modern Mike would care about that at all. Aside from finding some way to blame himself, of course.

It's kind of funny how Paulo was so mad that Mike "stole" James away from him. But really, Mike turned out to be the airbag that saved Paulo from a lot of unnecessary pain.

...Come to think of it, did Paulo even give a fuck when James latched onto David instead? If not, does that mean it was never so much about James as it was about Mike?

>>150955900
Yeah, now that I see it, it'll definitely be the case, but I don't think it'll have as much dramatic consequences as people think... they weren't dating yet when this happened, yeah? Paulo and Daisy, I mean.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's either that (Mike's kiss), or Daisy wil comment about Augustus' rape thing.

>>150956179
Good point, why are you still in a bargaining stage over Paulo fucking Lucy lol just accept it like any normal person would instead of coping about it for years

>>150956132
Completely disagree. I think a partner who is very direct about their feelings would be extremely healthy for Mike for a change. And a cute guy starving for emotional intimacy would hit Paulo's heart like a freight train.
>>150956177
James was a distraction. Maulo has always been the real fagkino endgame.

>>150955574
I kinda agree. No hate to thea or anything, but her prequel comic is a bit of a nothing burger, I can't believe the anons here are already putting her writing above taeshi when there's barely any drama to work with. She's almost just 'meet potential (wo)man' where she shares her plot and her character dynamics of a comic that doesn't exist yet.

>>150956264
Paulo knows about the sexual assault already. He nearly smacked the predator out of Augustus over it but Lucy defended his bitch ass.

>>150956264
I'm going to guess the following things will come out during that date in an escalating manner.
>Mike kissed Daisy at the library
>Sandy cheated on Mike (news to Paulo only)
>Mike kissed Lucy during EF
>Paulo fucked Lucy before the play

>>150956257
Paulo has a fuckton of insecurity that seems to only come out when it's about Mike. You could even say his whole thing with Lucy was kept alive because she preferred Mike to him despite his efforts. Paulo had no trouble with Daisy dating Abbey because despite not liking him it was not Mike

>>150955514
Unless Suitcase actually breaks up with Taeshi, that's never, ever happening.

>>150956274
No, I'm serious, who the fuck cares about what the two got up to, how far it went, etc? There's no dick-swinging to this, everyone who interacts with Lucy loses and I earnestly pity Paulo for wasting so much time and love on her.

>>150956278
>I think a partner who is very direct about their feelings would be extremely healthy for Mike for a change
Yes, but Paulo is still not a good partner for Mike. He's got jealousy issues and still defaults to mistreating Mike out of muscle memory. I sure wouldn't trust him.

>>150956164
Oh, I don't really care about the character dynamics in general. I just like seeing Daisy dull-eyed and declaring herself worthless. The way Daisy responds to hardship or pushback by immediately giving up and giving in to despair is very appealing.

>>150956330
If Suitcase breaks up with Taeshi, I'm more concerned about her immediate reaction irl. She's going to take it very poorly and cannot support herself.

>>150956309
The comic has never given us much reason to believe Paulo even likes Daisy that much romantically. He loves her a lot and thinks she's great, and got flustered at the idea of being with her once or twice because she "deserves better", sure.
But unlike Daisy who had a whole (albeit clumsy) arc where she gets over Mike and explicitly crushes on Paulo, Paulo had nothing like this prior to making Paisy canon. Hell he was practically giving Mike an anguished love declaration a few chapters before. The comic reads like he just accepted Daisy's confession because he's honored she likes him so much and wants to make her happy. But there's no real indication he's actually that into her romantically.
Taeshi won't address any of this and keep treating the ship like true destined love, but that's definitely how it reads.

>>150956330
That would actually be in her favor

>>150956392
She's the sole breadwinner of the household I think he'd be the one in trouble

>>150956228
He was back in the day. When the "lol so random!" style of humor was in season, a lot of readers loved david. even when things got a bit more serious, he was still pretty well liked.

But then the kind of humor he was made for fell out of style, the comic got much more serious in tone, and David didnt change. Before, he was just annoying for a good while. But now he's doing stuff that should have major consequences and it makes him look much worse.

Like you'd think he had some long standing grudge against Mike with how he's acted recently.

He does, but I think he would say them outright when he felt them. That's manageable and way healthier than anything Mike has put up with from Lucy or Sandy.

I know that in comic time he's "recently" joked about bullying Mike, but in realtime it's been years and I think New Years was meant to be a turning point.

>>150956411
>Taeshi won't address any of this and keep treating the ship like true destined love,


Taeshi is the type of writer that has specific plot points and goals she wants to hit, but she leaves the route to get there quite open. Unfortunately, if you aren't careful, you can easily fall into bullshit while trying to make on of the bullet points work.


You don't need to plan out everything meticulously when writing, but you do need some kind of path where everything makes sense.

The difference is that Rachel is A: not so small you can pump her up and down with just your arms, and B: has dignity and doesn't like being disrespected or taken advantage of.

Lucy on the other hand is like 40kg and LOVES being manhandled, disrespected, and taken advantage of. She's super competitive but prefers to lose, and is canonically "very affectionate and devoted to her owners".

Mike and Lucy. It's a toxic situation that Mike needs to suck up and accept. Second is Mike and Amaya. Then third is Paulo and Amaya.

Paulo has seen Lucy as his friend too. That happened right after the Halloween when she wanted to make amends, remember.

>>150958225
Because they're so fucked up that they deserve each other. Mike is too much of a worm to break the cycle. He's still with Sandy after she cheated and he's going to ultimately dump her and Lucy will check on Mike outside at lunch. I do like Mike better with Amaya, because she's the only female without baggage and would genuinely be fun for him to have around without the Sue and James nitpicking.

I have a baby mother who acts like Lucy and if I have to deal with it, Mike does too. He should just suck it up and deal with the parasite.

Kek imagine Paulo finding out about world of darkness/vampire the masquerade.

Faggot would absolutely RP with randos online. Acting out and saying the most degenerate faggotree possible with no shame what so ever because i-i-its not real and no one he knows will ever hear him say this, so its not gay and its ok. RP'ing as some sabbot sodomite tzimisce that forces people to become his ghoul and fleshcrafts them into monstrous pleasure creatures.
When he's bored of them he fleshcrafts them into sexual objects making sure they are in pain all the time.

Literally every ghoul is just a variation Mike when he pissed him off. Thus he thinks of some new petty thing he could do for revenge on the subject. Everyone becomes uncomfortable playing with him because he keeps forgetting to set his mic to push2talk and people can hear him fapping to etc shit as well as saying stuff. Plus the mic is to loud so they can hear him RP'ing even louder when he's saying ultra degen shit they can hear that his hand his totally on his dick.


Honestly just imagine Paulo playing VTM:bloodlines and then randomly finding a lorebook. So he buys the rulebook and starts searching online for forums/irc channels.
JuST imagine Paulo RP'ing as a tzimisce let that thought into your mind for a second, you can totally thank me for this mental thought. Thats not vomit your tasting, its Taes writing her worst NSFW sockpuppet fanfiction.

When Paulo said that he was desperate for her to open up in any way because the last time they spoke to each other was when she fucked him and then disappeared. He knew Mike did something bad and he was grasping for anything. It was an awful thing to say but I can't really hold it against him.

Plus it's a great dramatic setup, or would be if Taeshi didn't forget about it. Mike finding out what Paulo said and Paulo desperately trying to repair their friendship and realizing that he's hurt Mike in the way he's most vulnerable to (abandonment issues) would be juicy shit. Way jucier than the Mucy slop that's probably coming.

Oh, please. Paulo had been inching closer to Mike ever since gray cat proved surprisingly open-minded and supportive during orange cat's first bisexual crisis. But then the sperg goblin arc hit, Paulo got ever more annoyed with Mike, and offered to throw him under the bus for a drop of Lucy's gamer girlcat bathwater.

>>150958521
With Mike's luck, he'd be turned into a Ghoul or, worse, a Thinblood--because Taeshi needs that reversal of the parasite narrative.

I dunno I'm just worried the arc for Lucy is going to be realizing the parallels with Mike's situation and hers back before she jumped, and being the one who does something about it. Which I hate, because if someone is going to rescue Mike from his depressive spiral I'd much rather it be someone who genuinely cares about him, rather than someone who does so grudgingly.

>>150958656
It feels too little too late for her to do that after this stunt. She stood there and allowed all this / pushed for it while holding her new teddy bear's arm like a slut. This is after the Eternal Flame fiasco too which reinforces how all the shit she said then were outright lies.

Her doing it again is just going to ring hollow. Someone else needs to get Mike out of such a potential funk

>>150958614

Its a convenient way to show how unhealthily Taeshi is having these kids behave by showing how differently the events she's cobbled together would be perceived with a little role-reversal

>>150958730
While I get that Lucy has to stand up and take responsibility for something in her life doing so after she let everything get this bad out of some guilt would make her look like she's doing so despite herself, like putting up her "I have to fix everything around here don't I?" attitude. At least for me it feels manipulative, like let Mike be beat up and then get close to him and bandage him while saying how you hope he learned his lesson and he's lucky she's on his side afterall

>>150958346
wdym "like"? That's her official title.

>>150958656
I find Paulo and Mike both super annoying for different reasons, but I can't deny that Maulo is the best ship either of them have at this point. It actually solves a lot of the problems with them both as characters:
>Abrasive asshole and flaky doormat - if they meet in the middle they could be nearly functional!
>Both desperately need affection, but unlike Paisy they aren't each other's default fallback option so there's actually some passion there.
>Them being gay would, on a meta level, make it more difficult for Lucy whitecat to interfere or harass them out of jealousy.
>Completion of both their arcs; Paulo from a chauvinistic bully to a good and supportive friend, Mike from feeling indecisive/trapped the whole comic to taking a chance on an option not previously considered.
>Makes a bunch of plot threads that are currently just dangling loose and seemingly forgotten actually relevant.

>>150958521
>BCB-Furry WoD

what else what else

>>150958656
>Lucy is going to be realizing the parallels with Mike's situation and hers back before she jumped
Lucy does not have the self awareness for that. If she did have that selgmf awakens, half the issues after the jump wouldn't be happening.

We do agree that Lucy save Mike as an idea can jump off a building.

>>150958849
Kek the image of BCB Garou going Cirnos and it just being a bulky human that proceeds to use someone else as a living sledgehammer

>>150958828
I think the best conclusion to Lucy's arc would be her admitting to herself and to her friends that she's hostile and asocial. This whole "Lucy wants to be alone and quietly resents everyone but no-one ever notices and she's super well liked despite never socializing" dynamic sucks, and I'd have a lot more sympathy and respect for a Lucy who developed enough self-awareness to actually say out loud "I kind of hate you guys for no reason, because I'm insane."

Hell, she could even want to stay friends with everyone, just at arms length. That's essentially what she already does; she doesn't go to events, hang out with them, share hobbies, or even attend anyone else's birthday. So just make it explicit rather than this bizarre limbo of never fucking wanting it.

Leaker-kun! GAMBATE!!!

>>150958993
He's dead, Jim

>>150958961
Exactly, it's also why this whole table business reeks of bad writting, Lucy didn't want to come back to it from the start and she was calmer (of sorts) just on her own, had no recent beef with anyone aside from Mike despite her nightmares and they were ok with giving her ample space. Dragging her to the table with, according to the comments, none of her concern, to hang with people she doesn't want to see, is just meant to punish Mike because she benefits none from it

>Lucy
>Arc

HAH! As IF! Taeshi doesn't see Lucy as a character, she is a stand-in for her own trauma and the vessel she uses to project being a piss-baby (literally) from.

The ONLY singular purpose of Lucy is to be the popular girl everyone wants to fuck but is too complex for anyone to understand except her one love which she can't have - Veronica's big fee fees about life.

Just like Mike does NOT have an arc, he's just a vessel to be a punching bag, nothing more.
The closest thing she had to writing real characters was maybe Abbey and Augustus but after that, everything else is just set-dressing and noise.

>>150955756

>>150958828
So that approach would obviously not work if Lucy's actually made shit super bad through her neglect. She might like it to work out that way, kind of how she expected Paulo to just go along with her "suggestions" back on the ferris wheel. But it works much better if Lucy finds out this is going to be a hard uphill climb and slogs through it.

>>150958961
Lucy finally accepting she's fucking nuts and having a minibreakdown as her denial and self-image shatters would be kind of great.
