Oh nonono Jordancucks
Jordan needs to learn the moral of BCB>Never simp for a female>Go gay
>>152152558But Veronica hates gays. What does that say about BCB, then?
>>152152558>>Go gayBCB faggots are also shit
>>152152587She loves garbage like Mucy, Paisy, and Pucy so the moral is anything she hates is right
>>152152558The moral is polycule orgy.> Sidenote, fuck the new niggertarded ass Calebcityesque CAPTCHA.
>>152152701Are you fresh off a ban? If so, can you please get banned again?
Lucy does a social interaction /bcb/: EVIL SOCIOPATH BPD DEVIL NEEDS TO BE RAPE CORRECTEDTiffdoes the same social interaction /bcb/: Oh my heckin BASED she owned that cuck
>>152152460I don't like Jordan or Tiff, but Jordan absolutely needed a reality check.
>>152152774yes
>>152152774Oh no you are damaged, sad moment for us all
>>152152774It's not that Tiff is a good person it's that Jordan sucks that much.
>>152152774Lucy could never dream of being as chill and straightforward as Tiff
>>152152774>Comparing Little Miss do-not-want with someone setting boundaries straight awaySure, maybe Taeshi's Tumblr is more your speed
>>152150701She strikes me as most likely to have a rape fetish that she's in denial of.
>>152152460And like that, she's gone. Off to conquer other universes, rock other worlds.Godspeed Tiff, and may simps pave your way.
>>152152774Big difference between Lucy and Tiff is that Tiff is completely honest and doesn't try to harass the guy>LucyI don't want you, but I do actually and want you to rape me but not THAT way (whatever that is). Also you are not allowed to be with anyone else even though I pushed you away. You must stay in relationship limbo. Also I hate you, but not really, but actually I do and will continue hating you as you misunderstand my ever fluctuating obscured desires.>TiffThis isn't a date. We aren't a thing. I don't love you. Later.
>>152153300Wonderful summary.
>>152152460Tiff is my new favorite character
>>152153300I have this nagging suspicion that Tiff is going to come back in and lovebomb Jordan because Enrique stood her up or something. This whole thing will turn out to be a painfully forced parallel to Eternal Flame...or at least that will be the obvious interpretation. Then Taeshi's commentary will frame it as a damning indictment of how Mike leads people on.
>>152153357God I hope not. Let Tiff's character stay consistent as a one note. She's cold bitch who cares nothing for Jordan except his gifts.
>>152153357She doesn't really seem like the type. She was always pretty whatever to Jordan and if such a scenario happened she'd probably hook up with someone else first.
>>152153469This is BCB we're talking about.
>>152153265I knew who posted this without even looking at the name
>>152153357Let her do it, I bet she will think it's a masterful showing of pottery and not a testament that nothing is to be taken seriously about her comic
>>152153439Tiff is a STONE cold bitch. I wish the main characters were half as cool - then maybe something would actually happen instead of everyone just sobbing and teleporting around to overhear each other.
>>152153530Much like Eternal Flame and Line in the Sand after it. Normally, we shouldn't be due for another eruption of personal insanity for a while yet, but Taeshi seems to be breaking down in real time so I figure it's best to strap in for an ongoing hurricane of bullshit.
>>152153598I'm just enjoying the breakdown in real time.
>Thanks for lunch.Now we know for certain that Jordan did pay for her lunch despite her clearly stating it was not a date. That's 100% on him. She's not in the wrong for accepting the offer or leaving now that the hangout she agreed to concluded.Based on the preview, it looks like Daisy is going to tell her off or explode because how could you not love someone who loves you!?Hope they don't give Jordan the terrible advice of "just keeping trying. She'll come around eventually!"
>>152153743>Hope they don't give Jordan the terrible advice of "just keeping trying. She'll come around eventually!"I mean they shouldn't considering that Paulo's advice to him barely a year ago was to let Tiff go.
>>152153743>Dandruff attack GO!
>>152152774They think Tiff is supposed to be Mike's stand-in so they're in "Mindlessly defend all of their actions" mode, give it a few more pages so the bots can realize she's supposed to be Lucy and Jordan is supposed to be Paulo.
>>152153796You believe that Taeshi would admit that Lucy was wrong for that?
>>152153743>Daisy is going to tell her off or explode because how could you not love someone who loves you!?With the whole Season of Mourning nonsense, it makes all the sense in the world that Taeshi subscribes to a cross between commodified affection and emotional enslavement.
>Tiff is Lucy>Tiff is Mike>Tiff is Sandy>Tiff is AlejandroIs there anyone else that Tiff's supposed to be a metaphor for?
>>152153818Tiff is negative David
>>152153818Considering Taeshi's degrading mental state, why not all four at once?
>>152153818tiff is my stepdad
>>152153796Tiff is obviously supposed to be Sandy, retard-kun. Stop acting like you actually graduated from second grade.
Can someone give me the lowdown on Tae's latest meltdown?
>>152153910she had a meltdown?
>>152153910That's going to be a little difficult because it seems to be an ongoing situation that started when Line in the Sand was being published (given her page commentary), then went full throttle pretty much right after Taeshi claimed that Lucy was next up on the torture block. Effectively, the ensuing block of delusional blog posts has been one continuous meltdown.
>>152153952The possibility of Lucy suffering any broker her brain.
>>152153910Suit let her start answering questions on her Tumblr again, after heavy filtering. Remember her author comments full of irony and passive aggressiveness? Imagine that but to people just asking about their own interpretations of the comic while she keeps pushing for a narrative not shown in the comic itself, and slowly showing she's losing her patience
>>152154033>Suit LET her start answering questions on her Tumblr againI don't know which one of them to be more concerned for.
>>152154023I think her vicarious living through Lucy went too far after fully indulging in her BPD bullshit. What we are looking at right now might be a crazed addict.
If she's active on Tumblr again then she definitely saw Amy art lol
>>152154142>Taeshi answering asks on her own blog means she's seen your obscure 4chan OCschizo cope
>>152153796Mike is a boring dork who flips out under the slightest pressure, Tiff is cool and unflappable. Mike gets anxious and starts acting out if people aren't paying attention to him, Tiff is perfectly content to do her own thing.Mike can't make a decision, Tiff knows exactly what she wants.Mike can't defend himself from an accusation without proving it right, Tiff goes "Yeah, so?" and walks away.Mike WISHES he was as cool as Tiff.
>>152153743>how could you not love someone who loves you!?Does that mean Daisy actually loves Augustus back?
>>152154189>I don't know how ego work>Especially that of an artistWe know
>>152153796Was Lucy ever this up-front about not being interested in Paulo, at least between Mike rejecting her and the "your friends" rant?
>>152153796Mikefags really are the worst, simping for that asshole, am I right lads? We should probably forget about that guy and focus on Paulo and Daisy's plot.
>>152154292>We should probably forget about that guy and focus on Paulo and Daisy's plotAh yes, the homeopathic alternative to Valium.
>thanks for the meal, cuckHoly shit I love Tiff now.
>>152154192>when Paisy is so fucking boring you have to try and bait the Mikefags lest you slip into a coma and die
>>152154258Yeah, a few times. She was way less up front about it than Tiff though, and only admitted it when pushed. And she kept flirting with him anyways.
>>152154142It'd be easier that she just stumbled to that old blog that reposted fanart from here, why-are-they-naked or something
>>152154367I'd imagine the BCB social media sphere is pretty fucking small. The subreddit going active and increasing general awareness of not just the comic but also the unsanctioned memes may have produced a ripple effect.
>>152154334It's not particularly productive, but it passes the time, and it's fun to watch them spin out sometimes.We COULD talk about how and why Paisy sucks, or poke fun at it for being boring and shallow. But we've been over all that before, what more is there to say?
>>152154342I could see Taeshi ignoring the obvious differences for the sake of a forced comparison given she seems fine and dandy doing that in general these days.
>>152154458That's fair, she complained about how no big artist makes fanart for her comic and who knows if she's resentful that the one who did commented right away that she dropped it because it sucked. I wouldn't find it weird that she keeps searching for fanart on whatever places she still has the fortitude to visit
>>152154466That your hobby is gay as hell lol lmao
>>152154492You leave knitting out of this motherfucker
>>152153831Well, you know what they say, at least your mother fucking loved you
>>152154500Oh I'd never disparage knitting, anon.
So with all this foreshadowing of how Paisy is doomed, do you think we'll get to them breaking up before 2030, or will Taeshi forget what she wanted to do and swerve in some other direction by then?
>>152154500He probably has never heard about heavy metal knitting
>>152154486>That's fair, she complained about how no big artist makes fanart for her comic and who knows if she's resentful that the one who did commented right away that she dropped it because it sucked.this one still gives me second hand embarrasment
>>152154634I think I'll wait for the new volume preview to theorycraft, Paisy is kinda inconsequential so unless she needs Paulo single again for Lucy it's probably not going to happen
Tiff is Lucy and Jordan is MikeRemember next time you villainize Lucy but say Tiff is “based”
Meanwhile I'm still just in awe that Lucy is meant to be seen as le tragic lonely heroine who tried to kill herself because oh noooooo the only person she gave a shit about (besides her pets), her only lifeline (for some reason), rejected her sob sob there's nothing left for her... besides, you know, a loving family and friends who did their best to understand/tolerate her (ironically lampshaded by Augustus by the way but who knows if Taeshi even remembers what she wrote herself?), but those aren't important.
>>152153818Tess. Don't you remember Jessica's shitty play?
>>152154843Why can't Tiff just be Tiff, and Jordan be Jordan? Why does everyone have to parallel Lucy and Mike in some way? Is this a Batman thing, where all the characters are an aspect of Bruce's psyche?
>>152154725I think the foreshadowing for them having some kind of spat or fissure is pretty blatant. If I had to place bets I'd say that in a couple years we'll get a fakeout breakup arc, then they get back together for the sake of pottery with Abbey/Daisy's first breakup. But odds are that Taeshi will veer off in some other direction before then, and instead we'll get an arc where Sue asks Lucy to be nicer to her before her femur spontaneously twists to splinters of bone.
>>152154918>Why does everyone have to parallel Lucy and Mike in some way?Who do you think this comic is about?
Amazing how questions about Mike getting away from everyone else for good piss taeshi off, but somehow Lucy could manage just fine if he left and totally wouldn't build up to a crashout.
>>152154927Yeah Taeshi kind of made me stop waiting for plot points to come to a satisfying conclusion
>>152154486>>152154692For those who of us who are new or have forgotten/never seen this great moment in BCBstory,
>>152155007Sometimes it's easy to forget that neither us or the cult are the majority of readers, but the people that actually get to a point where they decide this is not worth their time and drop it
>>152154966>He wanted a fresh slate with james, then proceeded to project Lucy onto him!He was fine until David came to shit things up
>>152154918BCB will end with a pan out to a snow globe and a reveal that it was all David's dream. Hence why he went from being an klutz who takes remedial classes to an athlete in AP classes, and everything revolves around shipping.
>>152155073No anon, according to Taeshi Lucy is the ultimate goal of every person, so whenever Mike tries to engage with someone else he's actually thinking about Lucy, and if Augustus doesn't love Lucy is because he's incapable of love
>>152154966Taeshi's inability to understand her own characters is mindboggling at times. Many might fall in the face of chaos, but not Mike. Not today.
>>152154941I know. But if every other character's purpose is to explain the main two, then why even waste time/energy focusing on these other characters and no just Mike and Lucy? How do you even get invested in this world if everything/one is pottery and has no real agency outside of it. It's why this chapter just feels like it's about furniture.
>>152154918Who cares about Tiff and Jordan? It's more likely to be a parallel to actually relevant characters. And it's a parallel that the characters are supposed to notice and respond to, which is why Paulo and Daisy have to be here for this. If it was Jordan for Jordan's sake, he could do this scene without the mains present.Also the parallel is only a partial fit at best no matter which couple you look at, so it's interesting to discuss the possibilities until we get the definitive answer.
>>152154634She mentioned that things are planned out until like chapter number 147 few months ago and way before that she was talking about writing chapter she could consider a good ending point for the story, which imho not much time to let two cats being set up hard starting volume 6 break up hard enough with no fakeouts (nor is it enough time for Lucy to get her punishment despite Taeshi still claiming that she is not bluffing, especially since some of it will be Mike's life and family tumbling even further down until Taeshi decides he had enough, that she satisfied and can move on from "it's all about me wanting to rewrite Mike and Lucy into representations of inward and outward victims trauma responses". Not like there's enough time to write "and now healing begins and fixing bonds and friendships" either nor Tae seems interested in that, so I expect Mike to die or move away and out of the story like Lucy but narratively be just "safe" alternative to dying and beng written off just like talking animals moving out to far away lands)
>>152155142>It's more likely to be a parallel to actually relevant characters. And it's a parallel that the characters are supposed to notice and respond toObviously. But this comic is so slow, and it wastes so much time. Why not flesh these characters out a bit if you're going to focus on them for months?
>>152155140>But if every other character's purpose is to explain the main two, then why even waste time/energy focusing on these other characters and no just Mike and Lucy?Because Taeshi is not very creative and thinks that the Lucy-Mike-Sandy love triangle is fascinating.
>>152155239>Why not flesh these characters out a bit if you're going to focus on them for months?That would require effort without a Mike hate boner to sustain it.
>https://www.deviantart.com/darkmaverik/art/Commission-BCB-True-Colours-257354788I'd never actually read this before. I'm a little concerned at how closely the intro hews to EF, especially given that it was commissioned by Taeshi. She wouldn't ACTUALLY go with a "rape saves the day" ending, would she?
>>152152460>this pathetic little retard was lusted after by RACHEL and MATT
>>152155339>Jordan>Paulo>AugustusI like Rachel but she may have the worst taste in men imaginable.
>>152155303That depends on whether she can frame it as a good thing while also keeping Lucy in eternal victim status. Let's see here....>write Mike going full asshole mode>he violates Lucy's consent>feels like trash afterward but admits he wants Lucy more than anyone else>she admits to him that she actually did want it >still holds it over his head he'd ever do that to her>this is treated as a positive outcomeIs that stupid, degenerate, and masturbatory enough?
>>152155351and the one time she DOES crush on a half-decent guy, he turns out to be gay.
>>152154843nice try, but even taeshi doesn't fuck with the idea of mike simping for lucy, her favorite mucy dynamic is eternal victim lucy with mike suffering for not choosing her
>>152155339I just headcanon that Rachel lusts after pathetic guys because she thinks they're the ones to be okay with her massive pegging fetish.You know all of them would've said yes to it at least once, in desperation if nothing else.
>>152155503NTR, but isn't part of her current delusion that Mike projected Lucy onto James, meaning that he does want her?
>>152155416>>152155509I figure the only reason Rachel hasn't gone after Mike is because she's not a shitty homewrecker like certain spastic homosexuals who could be named.
>>152152774Because one is upfront about the what's, wants and whys
>>152155540That's literally what she told Paulo aeons ago when he asked why she never went after Mike with hints of jealousy, that "he's got a gf, who do you take me for?"
>>152155583Best girl, even after her recent lobotomy.
>>152152774She's the same but without any of the insecurity or self-doubtI don't like her and i don't see why anyone would like her
>>152153796On a broader note they associate Jordan with Lucy since it is her brother so they want to see tormented just because of not liking Lucy
>>152154966>mike's problem is his entire narcissistic personality and hyperdependency on external validation>lucy's problem is her inability to fully move on from mike while he's still around love having it spelled out repeatedly yet everyone itt will keep projecting a completely different story onto the comic in a failing attempt to cope
>>152155523That's not simping though
>>152155685>while he's still aroundWhy did she come back?
>Tourists trying this hardlmao is your shitcord so dead, that you have to come here for bcb discussion?
>>152155683Also the sky is green, fellow comrade.
>>152155408if you told me you were summing up a later chapter I'd 100% believe it
>>152155723Would Taeshi make that distinction?
>>152155685suitcase, don't you have an abusive wife to not-impregnate?
>>152155733I don't know what's more sad, that he keeps insisting on staying here despite already having a group of people that can blindly agree with him or that he's Taeshi's ramble's intended audience
>>152155733This is what I say when I ask why their is a 24/7 general on here for this garbage comicIt is clear no one here actually uses /co/ outside the general
Fuck it, if I got time I’ll do some cool Tiff art requests
>>152155772I can't think of a good joke so I'll answer sincerely, but yes. There's a mini comic where Mike, Lucy and Sandy are drunk and he just straight up ignores Lucy in favor of Sandy. The only way Mike would ever crawl up to Lucy is when he's at his lowest, the simp behavior is reserved for Sandy.
This comic keeps reinforcing that the "Right" choice for Mike was to justt be a tard wrangler for Lucy forever and to not get fes up with being abused by her.
>>152155950It's more akin to "if you really loved her you'd wait forever until she was ready, expecting nothing in return, staying loyal and focused, protecting your friendship despite her hostility, and wear a grin constantly as not to upset her", which is not better
>>152155523>NTR, butyou did this on purpose didn't you
>>152156039Which conveniently is what would be the perfect relationship partner for a BPD person.
>>152155912Draw Tiff going out with Mike.Could draw them making out or just holding hands, whatever floats your boat
>>152156194Indeed, and by not being this person you're actually betraying an expectation you were not aware of, and thus deserve scorn for the rest of your days. And thus this comic
>>152154486>she complained about how no big artist makes fanart for her comicShitty writing aside the character design is so unremarkable it's no surprise that nobody feels compelled to make fanart.
>>152154865Oh shit! It's been 14 pages since there's been a single mention of Lucy being le sad. You don't think Jordan would make some offhand comment about how "I guess this is how Lucy feels" as he reflects on Tiff's rejection, do you?It's pretty sad that I could see Taeshi giving Jordan temporary brain damage and forgetting how concerned he's been about his sister. All so Paulo and Daisy can jump on him because WHOA you DO NOT know how Lucy feels! She has it sooo much worse than you! And then continue to give her metaphorical asspats desptie Daisy being huffy that Paulo's promise not even 24 hours ago.
>>152156399Well she's certainly not inviting anyone with that attitude of hers, she doesn't lack decent artists into the comic but she's not going to get the kind of clout she wants from them, less if she keeps banning whoever has a slightly different opinion
>>152153796I mean what did she really do wrong? She has a bitchy demeanor sure, but she at no point made Jordan think this was anything more than what she said it was. That shit's on Jordan being a cringelord who refuses to listen.Most I can put on Tiff outside of the detached attitude is wasting half a burger and maybe accepting the gifts when she knew the intent behind them (even though, again, she repeatedly told him flat out shit wasn't happening)
>>152154258Only when she threw a fit and he outlived his usefulness. Unlike Tiff, Lucy has pulled the slut act and cozied up to a guy to get what she wanted at that particular moment.
>>152156435Didn't Paulo focus on "what Lucy must have felt" when told about Mike being cheated on? Surely it's not been 14 pages
>>152156475It's pretty much a "show don't tell" situation, someone from the senior table mentioned how the relationship between Jordan and Tiff worked out visuals included, but we have yet to see it happen on real time, not even on the prom did she make an attempt to entertain Jordan's baby talk, so we are left with an idea of the character formed by what someone else said, which if you remember Line in the sand it's almost a theme of this comic
>>152152460On one hand Tiff is being a bitch by continuing to let Jordan pay for her stuff while not being interestedOn the other this is none of Daisy's business
>>152155929But anon, how else could Taeshi pity-beg for Lucy asspats?
>>152156153Not That Retard? Yes.
>>152154966>he wants to be valued by his peerswow literally Hitler amirite>[Mike] proceeded to project Lucy onto [James]what?
>>152156654nobody knows where she's pulling this projection thing from. We don't see their friendship in the works long enough for Mike to do anything like this.
>>152156654Taeshi forgot to come up with any reasons why Lucy Turbocunt would actually be desirable, why she would be chosen over anyone else, and what Mike in particular would see in her over James. So her strategy is now "Mike is always into Lucy because that's how it is, okay?!"
>>152154966Stoking the flames. It's funny how she'll rifle off manifestos about how Mike coughed at Lucy wrong but when it comes to the couple driving the b-plot for the rest of the comic she cant be arsed. Very cute Paisy OTP prease undastand.
>>152156851>Paisy vanishes into the background as the Mike torture intensifiedWe know which subject gets her rocks off.
>>152156851I really don't know what anyone expects Abbey to do except say "yes, I know, that's why we broke up"
>>152156851She didn't even try to answer the question of what the appeal is, I think she knows she never effectively wrote them as a couple and is just bullshitting.
>>152156851For starters, Abbey would probably not be surprised at all. I don't even think he'd care at this point because he's moved on. Also she couldn't even state the appeal of the pairing. She just defaulted to saying liking it isnt requiredSecond, it's funny that Paisy is "It's okay if you dont like it" but the idea of Mike moving on from Lucy for good or anyone having sympathy for his situation riles her up.
>>152156989Really drives the point across that she stopped caring about the story as a whole and is just playing sims with her characters
>>152156965Or Paisy is meant to be doomed as a big Fuck You to Suitcase (and to show how much better her dysfunctional idea of a proper romance is), so Taeshi is more or less fine with people pointing out Paisy kind of sucks.
>>152156912>>152156989I would agree with you anons if it didn't feel like Abbey was being primed to blow up in response to finding out. Both with the recent suspicion he had when Paulo brought up Molly and how much he's stewed about them.
>>152152460Stay away from them crazy white cats.
>>152157103If would be weird if he did at this point especially because he's supposed to be "Over" his beef with paulo and how the relationship with Daisy went.But, Taeshi has had characters reset development wise for the sake of railroading plot points, so chances of him crashing out aren't low.
>>152152774Lucy does a social interaction/bcb/: Add it the list of infractionsTiff does the same social interaction/bcb/: This is a one time thing we are not going to declare her evil like BPDemon would
>>152156654I think the projection is supposed to be his insecurities about James abandoning him, like when we saw him imagining James join Lucy in turning her back on him when Augustus asked him to stay inside.One issue I have is that the resulting spiraling definitely seems like it would be less of an issue if Lucy and Augustus weren't in the picture. Mike's "spiraling" with James was expressed simply as him hanging out with somebody that allegedly wanted him around and only went poorly because of the very specific situation Augustus created. Lucy is also a very specific trigger due to their history and her affect on their shared social group. Mike was having a hard time with Sandy but only got really bad upon Lucy's return.It's also harder to condemn Mike for this value seeking thing when we have very blatant examples of him being strongly devalued. It isn't all just in his head. It seems more and more that Mike just somehow absorbs responsibility for any situation he enters. Regardless of what prompted the feeling, Mike feeling devalued must be because of some personal complex he has. Lucy placing the full weight of her mental health on Mike alone is also his fault.
>>152157112>F-Female? Interrupting me!?!
>>152157215>like when we saw him imagining James join Lucy in turning her back on him when Augustus asked him to stay insideHow can those be insecurities when that's exactly how things played out? If Taeshi wants to portray Mike as in the wrong, maybe she shouldn't curse him with the power of prophesy and keep proving him right.
>>152153818It's more like the characters all don interchangeable archetypes based on the plot's progression. Most characters don the Lucy or Mike archetype depending on whether the story wants us to sympathize with the character or not. Sometimes Mike and Lucy wear each others archetype for a moment but are quickly unmasked.
>>152157243She's courting death.
>>152156851Her posts about Mike and Lucy are really dubious but this one seems fine honestly. What can you really say to "I don't vibe with this ship"? Not every tumblr post can enter the ragebait hall of fame.
>>152157302taeshi could completely fix the comic by suddenly turning it into a wuxia story with no explanation whatsoever
>>152157302From who, Jordan? The guy who got casually no-sold by Mike?
>>152155685Based on this Lucy is at fault for coming back.
>>152157329Mike soon finds a buried book about cultivation, he practices and learns the way of the Blue Dragon, entering the hiden world of martial arts.
>>152155685Erm actually Taeshi is crazy and the comic is wrong If you want the true story you need to read my original do not steal fanfic "Mike beats Lucy to death and fucks all the girl characters"
>>152155912Hey, can you do Tiff doing cool twirls and spins with a pocket knife
No Mike+Amy pics this thread (yet), instead wanted to ask for more doggo requests. Don't have to be Mike+Amy specifically, could be solo Amy or interacting with any other characters or anything to flesh her out more. I'm still gonna finish christmas ones, but by the time I deal with them it's still gonna be Paisy contemplating their simping phases, promising to camera to prevail over their issues as a ship, and Valentine's day coming up soon, might as well have extra Amy material ready
>>152155140Wasting time is not an issue for BCB. If telling a story was the point, I think we would have entered the third act around Eternal Flame. This comic is paying the mortgage; they might not intend to end it within finite time.
>>152155912Jordan cries from some unspecified incident and Tiff cuddles his face into her neck and chest.
>>152155685I agree that that is Mike's problem, but Lucy's problems go way deeper than just Mike. She's emotionally unstable and depends on others to handle it for her; originally Mike, but she keeps trying to foist the same dysfunctional dynamic onto various other boys. Liam, Larken, Paulo, Zachary, Augustus - she even briefly tried to rope Abbey in before realizing that he wasn't going to take the bait. And every time, she reacts with intense hostility whenever they try to open up emotionally.Combine that with her holding girls in universal disdain as "stupid useless whores", and it becomes clear that Lucy is horrifically sexist. Which is why adult Lucy's job being toxic titty streamer/""influencer"" fits so well.
>>152155685>>152157513Asking this sincerely: what did she mean by "Mike was projecting Lucy onto James?" Where in the comic do you guys believe this occurred?
>>152157667Amy walking outside, looking so beautiful she shines.Meanwhile, Lucy and Daisy watch from the sidelines, looking envious.
>>152157215Taeshi has been trying very hard to force the "He's manipulative! He's Maladaptive!" narrative on Mike lately. But she keeps putting him in situations where his worries end up being justified. That would be fine if that was the point, but instead she gets mad at people hoping Mike makes a mental recovery from all this.
>>152157357It's a reference, anon.
>>152158096She means that Mike was going to have James be his replacement for Lucy back when they were close friends, since she doesn't want anything to do with Mike and he had promised to stay away from her after his first talk with Augustus. James was gonna be a stand in, in mike's mind, which could have created drama because eventually Mike would have to realize that James is NOT Lucy.The thing is, not only is this not shown in the actual comic, but James and Mike aren't friends long enough for Mike to do anything to make James even consider that Mike iis doing anything wrong. The friendship falling apart was all on James, David, and the white cats instead of Mike actually doing anything wrong.in short. There is no comic where Mike projects Lucy onto James. Taeshi is just mad people feel bad for him instead of the others..She even wanted the people that hated Mike too much to come back to "balance things out"
>>152157667Amy sits on the couch watching a movie with Haley, brags about how cute her brother is.>>152158096Mike crushed on Lucy, fucked shit up with Lucy, and then crushed on James the same way to cope with his childhood sweetheart being long distance. Not that there's anything wrong on his part for crushing on more than one cute friend. Tolerating Lucy was an ample virtue Lucy didn't deserve.
>>152156912The real reason Daisy is so nervous about telling Abbey is that on some level she knows that will be his reaction, and she cannot handle the fact that NO ONE, not even her ex, cares. Getting confirmation of that would make both her and Paulo crash out.
>>152157112>How tall is the roof on this placeVery good anon.
>>152157112>How tall is the roof of this place?
New BH
>>152158446Fauna's such a freak
>>152158446Faunie baby needs to stop giving him ideas."I might just shoot you.""Okay, I just want to see the gun go off."
>>152158446Finally the classic psycho deer antics we all know and love>Do you want to?Betting on the punchline being him implying he wants to shoot her for being annoying
>>152158446Oh, Fauna you scamp! Seriously, she's such a lovable character. BH kind of reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes, in that they both remember that kids are fucked up and weird.
>>152157667Here’s 2 ideas1. Katie asking too many personal questions about Amy’s relationship with Mike. 2. Amy playing disc golf with her classmates during P.E. and is currently winning
>>152156399Because Veronica kept pushing niggards away with the no furry shit, turns out you need to be friendly with the fags to keep it moving. Who knew? She doesn't want the audience but she sure draws like a furrytard. So most furries like Laslindas or TwoKinds just ignore the fuck out of her. It doesn't help that she has a reputation in the webcomic community of being rude assholes with her husband.
>>152158096Lets see, according to Taeshi Mike was using James as a replacement Lucy. Now, WHAT are Lucy's characteristics that Mike might be seeing in James?>Someone that forces herself on youOk, that's close to pre-speed James being super pushy>Hides emotions behind hostility Mmm, can't be it>Has no concern for you aside from keeping you at handNot really>Will put her whole mental wellbeing on you and resent you for not taking responsibility Nope, he dropped Mike right away>Likes videogames and running Yeah, that's right >Will replace you for a new teddy bear when not available Something similar, yesSo! It seems to be a substitute Lucy you need to be needy at times, have some hobbies in common, and replace you when convenient. So obviously Mike saw the way James ignored him after he got on speed and thought "ah~ that's just like Lucy"
>>152155912>>152157553
>>152158923>the no furry shitDoes she not understand that she draws a furry comic?
>>152155912Tiff styling on Jordan then slashing his basketball, Kung-fu hustle style.
>>152157667Amy agreeing to share Mike with Amaya :3
>>152155685Late to the party but where does he show narcissistic tendencies in Guest of Honor?
>>152156039Same as Paulo.Funny how Paulo was busting nuts inside Rachel and still saying he and Lucy were destined. Where is his eternal punishment for that? Oh right, Lucy didnt want him anyway, she just fooled him, so it's all good
>>152153743No she's in the wrong for being a whore and a parasite, fuck her
>>152155685Narcissists put others down to protect their own fragile egos and don't go out of their way to help others. You are using the term incorrectly.
>>152159654>Narcissists put others down to protect their own fragile egosI don't know, that sure sounds like Mike to me.
>>152159713Notable deviations from the norm do not prove your point, anon. Shame on you for being so dishonest, about BCB of all things.
>>152159713Unless there's context here I'm forgetting this doesn't seem like narcissism. He's sticking up for someone else who isn't around to defend herself. It's rude, but so is whining about a guy's girlfriend to his face.
>>152159232You can tell Tiff secretly likes Jordan because she has not stabbed himThese are fun and expressive, thanks anon
>>152159750Those "notable deviations from the norm" make up every notable plot point, and roughly half the comic at this point.
>>152159815And yet the argued point remains unsupported and a very poor hill to die on. I suggest a reexamination of priorities.
>>152159750>Lucy, in disbelief, worries that leaving the table would mean Mike's leaving his friends>Mike's "#1 best friend to all" ego gets bruised by the suggestion everyone wouldn't follow him and he loses his shitI dunno buddy, it kind of seems like a pattern.Here comes the part where you keep expanding the number of examples I need like the other guy last thread right?Because it's easier than admitting you don't understand the character you pretend to like?>>152159774>I haven't read the comic and this is your problem nowuhh
>>152159860Oh that was you? What I saw was you posting attempted example after attempted example while pointedly ignoring how each was picked apart in turn. I see that you have not changed tactics at all and, much like the other anon I've been talking with, have chosen to sacrifice your self-worth over a badly written cat comic.
>>152159860Frig off, Suitcase.
>>152159713If this is the hazy definition of narcissism we're going with then I guess we also have to include Lucy for saying she only slept with Paulo because she felt sorry for him after Paulo correctly assumed she had made a move on Augustus. And I guess we can throw Paulo in for being a dick to Daisy for an extended period of time because she called him mean on the phone. Daisy said all Lucy had was her looks because she was upset at Mike preferring Lucy during Confrontation, add her to the pile. Only narcissists have egos that can bruise.There's no need to pathologize this character in particular. Also while Mike's response was disproportionate it was kind of shitty of Daisy to hijack a conversation about Mike's problem and make it about her own sore feelings towards Sandy. A kind of narcissistic thing to do, even.>>152159860That's one interpretation. Another is that he was already pissed at her and hitting her with everything he could and simply continued in that fashion when responding to her. Would Mike at this point have needed some additional motivation to continue his tirade? Would a non-narcissist Mike have stopped dead in his tracks at this point, thanking Lucy for her concern? He responded this way because he knew Lucy's insecurities and she had given him an opening.It's really shitty behavior but you don't need to be a narcissist to be filled with hate.
>152157201I dont know if these are from 4chan or discord because I do expect the same level of autism from bothSimilar social interactions can still be different from many points, nothing is black and white. Even the most close 1:1 (Paulo Lucy in double down) has different build up We know Tiff is a bitch, but until now we havent seen people kissing her ass outside Simp Jordan for the shitty behavior, nor actively flirting/being touchy with him, nor being verbally of physically abusive towards her friends. She is not close to Paulo nor Daisy, and they are helping Jordan set up a double date when she stated multiple times this was not one. What baffles me is that Daisy herself asked Jordan if Tiff was okay with the date thing, and he just reply to trust him. At this point she was probably talking about the location, and not participation...
>>152159898>crying samefag because I inb4'd your bullshit pussy tacticslolIt will never stop amusing me how easy it is to disprove your headcanon while you just deflect and cry that you're getting bullied.>>152159924Buddy I was simply using his interpretation of narcissism, which fit perfectly with MikeI think Mike is a narcissist because he goes around trying to collect people's affection without any desire to return it, wanting people to desire you just to be desired is a pretty narcissistic thing to do, and that's not even bringing up that Mike thinks he's Lucy's one-sided tard wrangling gift from God. (literal delusions of grandeur)>Lucy sleeping with Paulo because she feels bad for him is narcissismWtf is this lol, but either way, wrong or right (you're not making a good argument so probably wrong) I really don't care what you say Lucy, Paulo or Daisy are, we're talking about Mike.>Would Mike at this point have needed some additional motivation to continue his tirade?I mean, he was crying and despondent before Lucy implied he wouldn't have friends if he left the table so clearly yes?The topic went from Mike wanting to get away from Lucy, to Mike callously breaking Lucy down because she triggered his ego.
>>152159860Btw you are mistaking Anger Management Issues with Narcisism. Of all the bunch, the most close to be a Narcissist is Sue, but I still wouldnt call her that. I had to live with both lovely people, not fun
>>152160011I think that we may be expecting just a bit too much intelligence from this one, anon. He seems rather determined to tilt at windmills--that is, poorly written cats. Some people really do need better hobbies.
>>152159898No, that was me. And the "picking apart" were all fairly weak excuses - Mike was drunk, Mike was arguing, Mike was mad, so him angrily lashing out at his friends is perfectly understandable and it's still OOC, and certainly doesn't form a pattern or anything.Also every example I posted was from before volume 5. You know, back when the comic was good? Point is that Mike ALWAYS had a level of seething frustration beneath his nice guy persona - him lashing out when under stress isn't "OOC", it's the main point of his character.>>152159995Anon, we may agree that Mike sucks, but please don't pretend to be me. We already have enough cases of jumping at shadows and crying "samefag!" without deliberately muddying the waters.
>>152160100What?I'm not pretending to be you, I was preempting him doing the >erm you need more examplesmeme like he did to "the other guy"The "other guy" meaning (you).>>152160011>the most close to be a Narcissist is SueI'd love to hear why you think this.
>>152159995>collect people's affection without any desire to return it"What?" - Joe BidenI don't know what to make of this one, Mike shows plenty of affection. Too much, even! Paulo tells him off for saying there's a lot to love about him. He helps Paulo with his gay panic, shows concern for him after Abbey's throat slam and his argument with Lucy in Double Down. Do you have an example in mind of Mike acquiring somebody's affection and then neglecting to return it? Challenge mode: no Eternal Flame Mike's hazy motivations aside I think Sandy complicates things past him just having a tendency not to return affection.>Lucy sleeping with Paulo because she feels bad for him is narcissismOn the Ferris wheel she apologizes for playing with his feelings, for being "no better than Jessica." The narcissistic thing here is to now change her tune to something more hurtful because Paulo read her like a book. I wasn't referring to the sex itself.>he was crying and despondentI don't know what to tell you here, he's crying but he still looks pissed right before she brings up the friends thing. There isn't a pause or a significant slowdown, and he had already told her he hated her and they were never friends. It just doesn't read as some ego-driven reignition to me. I don't think you have a leg to stand on criticizing other people for headcanons after this one.
>>152160170Fair enough, I just wanted to avoid letting the resident schizo spin themselves up.>>152160185>Do you have an example in mind of Mike acquiring somebody's affection and then neglecting to return it?NTA, but Daisy, Stacy, and arguably Sandy herself, given how much work she had to put in before he acknowledged that they were an item.
>>152160100Thank you for responding and clarifying. I'm afraid that your examples were and remain flawed. The claim was that Mike spent half the comic up until Volume 5 acting like an angry sperg because he unfairly felt his friends did not treat him right. Your examples were both highly selective (and so failing to back up the idea Mike was doing this sort of thing constantly) and rather poor in logic. I will go through them to point out the issues other than the infrequency problem.>drunk MikeDaisy agreed that they treated Mike unfairly and no one mounted a counterargument. >DecemberThe result of long-mounting tensions and a decided outlier (prior to Volume 5 enhancing the frequency of spergouts by several magnitudes). The comic also openly admitted, several times, that Mike absolutely had been mistreated badly by Lucy, undermining the idea that Mike was being unfair.>the argument on the trainThe comic pointed out, through Daisy, that Lucy was being unfairly mean and hostile to Mike. His anger was again justified.I can also respond to the final example of the wheel barrel race, which ironically was probably your strongest argument. Now obviously it was written as very slapstick in nature, but it must be admitted that the recontextualization of Lucy's mistreatement of Mike as outright abuse means turning a similar critical eye on this example. Through that lens, it could be argued that Mike lost himself in the competition of the moment and carelessly harmed one of his classmates, though not as an example of Mike sperging out due to mistreatment.I hope that you do not, once again, ignore the weakenesses of your own argument in favor of throwing more bad examples at the wall in hopes that they stick.
