Of course the shitstain gets rewarded.
Well we guessed this but damn was Jordan rejected from all of his colleges?
>>152565451Congrats to the anon who called it being for AugustusDear God when will this chapter end
>>152565451
>>152565520>all of the acceptance letters are for AugustusIf I was Jordan I'd KMS
>>152565513I think that was a patreanon
>>152565529It was easy to guess to begin with
>>152565451if this shit sucks, why do you faggots keep reading it? you really dont have anything better to do? like read something actually good?
>>152565451Why does Taeshi keep writing characters who shouldn't be that smart as great students?Augustus should have an insane amount of catching up to do, it'd be more likely given his background that he'd have to be held back several years even if only because I can't imagine his previous school was any good.David is also a fucking retard but does well.I hate how much she keeps glazing this faggot. You can't say him being weak physically is a flaw when Lucy is always there to fight on his behalf.
Its embarassing how genuinely agitated this shit is getting me. If Augustus was meant to be the bad guy then id say bravo taeshi well done, but hes not. Im tired of the worst characters in the comic be rewarded and its presented as a good thing
>>152565548She loves asshole characters, and despises kindness as 'manipulation'.
>Mike was objectifying Lucy in his mind>I guess he was a bad guy after all!>Taeshi: true, also Mike is a piece of shit for wanting Lucy to treat him at least as well as she treats Paulo
>>152565548You don't have to be especially smart to get into college and if you do summer or night school you can basically turn around your academic record pretty quickly
>>152565451Luckily for Jordan prostitution is still on the table for his future
>>152565577I can't deal with this shit anymore.
>>152565548I don't see how that's a problem. Intelligent people are quick learners, and Augustus doesn't seem to lack discipline too so...>David is also a fucking retard but does well.I'm pretty sure that's just in the arts (Literature mostly)
>>152565577...but she treated Paulo like shit
>Augustus>Intelligent
>>152565451I predict next he'll say he won't go, then Lucy will get mad, then he'll say he won't go because he needs to take care of her, then Lucy will get really mad, then Lucy will get sad, then Augustus will get sad. This is the "suffering" Taeshi said they would go through btw.
>>152565577Were I an author, my instinct would be to never go full mask-off. But then I would not want to deal exclusively with sycophants who would tempt otherwise.
>>152565577>>152565659It's genuinely infuriating. There's just so much gas lighting and complete lack of self awareness
>>152565451>You've been suspended from school pending investigation for attempted sexual assault of a student.Wouldn't it be nice?
>>152565692A shame that Taeshi would never allow Lucy to crash out because her security blanket now has a real countdown timer.
>>152565706I might just quit at this point, she'll never give Mike a happy ending and will always despise him.
>>152565707they wouldn't send a letter for that
>>152565577Never ever let anything happen to your daughters anon.
Only positive of this is the crisis Lucy will fall into know that her teddy bear has an expiration date, but damn aren't you tired of rimming Augustus?>>152565692That's the path of least Lucy direct involvement so I can see it>>152565577Does Taeshi not tire of this PR nonsense? Is she that assmad that people feel sorry for Mike? Because >Anonymous sure makes me trust this is an actual belief someone holds
>>152565740>Is she that assmad that people feel sorry for Mike?What do you think lol
>>152565740She's that mad, since Mike must always be evil. I genuinely resent how the story is going, it's like an inverse morality.
>>152565720You should quit because the average quality is pretty low. Taeshi will probably swing back in her attitude toward Mike from punching bag to teddy bear, because BPD, but the only draw would be watching her do damage control.
>>152565689Yes that's supposed Taeshi's intention, but if you want to get meta about it you can just say "Taeshi sucks at portraying intelligence" or just say "I don't think Augustus deserves that character trait"
>>152565740>Does Taeshi not tire of this PR nonsense?I imagine it must feel cathartic, given how she keeps doing it.
>>152565720>she'll never give Mike a happy ending and will always despise himWe fucking told you that during kermit sperg Mike era.
>>152565577its all so tiresome
>>152565577>Mike was surprised the person that always kicked him around like a piece of shit could actually be nice to others>Him not wanting this "special treatment" from her is bad actually, he shouldn't want anything and take the beatings in stride>BTW Mike is all Lucy had and she's said as much MANY TIMES so it was in her best interest to be nice to him but she wasn't because fuck MikeI don't think I follow her logic anymore, she keeps saying Mike is in the wrong for expecting anything of her BUT also he's in the wrong for not giving her all she expected of him. What?
>>152565757Different anon, but it's certainly not quality that keeps me reading. Mainly a mix of attachment from reading this while growing up, and fascination at the strange wreck it has become.
>>152565757She's already doing damage control right now, and turns out she sucks at it because everything she talks about is either off panel, "just trust me bro" or stupidly contradictory to her own work
>>152565451This is sweet, he came from a poor background but is finally getting to a college. Hope Jordie finds happiness soon.I don't suppose anyone would be willing to draw/write an awkward date between Mike and Augustus.
>>152565795Sounds like a pretty basic case of double-standards, if also a markedly delusional one. But Taeshi took a deep dive into a pool of her own Kool-aid so that's a given.
>>152565671The problem is lack of flaws while being an asshole. What flaws does he have at this point that are by author intent?>He's not a rapist cause of that BCI or whatever that said he wouldn't have gone through with it. I know they're not a part of the main comic but everyone knows why she drew that.>Lucy fights his battles for him so he never has to eat the dirt he earned even if he can't weasel his way out.>He's so sensitive and vulnerable he threatened to scream when Lucy came onto him. Super non-threatening.>He spends his spare time reading from a little book! I bet it's Robert Frost poetry! Oh how deep and dreamy...>He got accepted to college! And he's so cool he probably doesn't care, the conflict if any is gonna be that this might separate him from Lucy or some shit.>Isn't even poor anymore because he was adopted by the white cats.He hits the same beats as Edward Cullen from Twilight now. If Taeshi at least treated him as a manipulative creep it'd work but since his last time doing it was done on Lucy's behalf and against Mike it's treated like a good thing.If he lost some teeth after provoking Mike I wouldn't hate him this much.
>>152565560He's antagonistic towards Mike but not really evil, just so attached to Lucy that he hurt Mike over it. Mike getting punished and Lucy getting rewarded is the core emotional tragedy.
>>152565481>him getting away from Lucy will be treated as a reason to be sad
>>152565847>She's already doing damage control right nowYes, but I like to think the "future damage control FOR all the current damage control" was strongly implied. The effect you describe would thus compound upon itself.
>>152565577This isn't incorrect, Mike crushed on Lucy and justified her abuse till it damaged him badly. Lucy is insecure and dependant on him to tell him. Also she's a bitch.Crushing on someone isn't selfish but beating someone to cope with your rage is. I sincerely hope Veronica isn't justifying Lucy, as if she doesn't need serious help for her abusive tendencies. The universe of these two lovestruck fluffballs getting along at the beginning is a sweet thought.
>>152565543We LIKE being angry! Are you new to this site?
>>152565451>Jordan is a pathetic simp and he has no hope for a future>ISN'T THIS FUNNY? WHY AREN'T YOU LAUGHINGTaeshi's brand of comedy is literally just "Awful things happening to a decent person"
>>152565901You know I was wondering how Mucy was going to be a thing even though Aug fucking hates Mike, I guess sending him off to college is meant to solve that without the conflict it'd otherwise need...
>>152565872After burnt bridges? Could'veAfter line in the sand?Think that ship is a little too up in blazes
>>152565878>The problem is lack of flaws while being an assholeAlmost, but not quite. The real problem--the source of irritation--is that Augustus DOES have some pretty obvious flaws as a person...but they go unacknowledged. Or excused. Or even celebrated. Injustice naturally bothers and disgusts those who keenly perceive it.
>>152565543Huh? I skip most of the pages and barely discuss anything related to them. I'm just here for the rare fanart.
>>152565543Hi, welcome to your first day on 4chan. I'm sure there is some orientation info you can find somewhere.
>>152565795It's easy to understand anon. Mike is supposed to be a teddy bear.
>>152565653I'm surprised Paulo or David haven't worked as an escort selling their cocks for dollars. Maybe Jordan could consider that.>>152565778Give him huggies.
>>152565949In truth, she never graduated from her days as a /b/tard. That might have been the only group of people she could have acted like her true self around.
>>152565878>The problem is lack of flaws while being an asshole. What flaws does he have at this point that are by author intent?Oh, yeah I agree with that lol. I guess he's physically weak? And I think he's more or less considered pathetic when he pins for Daisy. That's about it.
>>152565878He became marketable is what happened, he started as someone people could actually like despite his flaws and Taeshi turned him into a PG caricature to be able to sell plushies to people that only know him and Final Fantasy cat. If you told old me when this chapter dropped that Augustus would end up slurping Lucy's leftovers and threatening to cry and yell because she try to rape him and there'd be no consequences I'd call you Abbeyfag, and ironically not being a fan favorite has kept Abbey safe from this, Paulo pity aside
>>152565958Please don't encourage them by responding.
>>152565543It's the most emotionally heavy story I've read.>>152565958It would probably be a dare or awkward chance encounter, bordering on crackfic. Even MikexJordan would be less toxic, cause they could both have breakups and entertain falling for guys like Paulo and Matt.For Mauggie it might be like:"I broke up with my girlfriend.""Deserved, you bullied my friend.""She literally abused me since I was three, and you're defending her!""I can't believe I fell for your fake ass profile!""Well I wasn't even looking for you, I just wanted a moment with Abbey.""Why, you gay?""No!"
>>152565451I do feel a little for Jordan. I never felt more crushed than when my fallback schools started sending rejection. Those were for PhD programs, though, not undergrad. Get it together man.>>152565577I had a similar “just put up with her, man” attitude when I first read the comic as a kid. It was only when I grew up that I realized Lucy was awful to him and he didn’t have to take that. In my defense, standoffish catgirls were my kryptonite at that time.
>>152566080It's ironic how Taeshi looks back at her older work and cringes at the immaturity, inspired by anime as it was. Only to loop back and embrace those same dysfunctional attitudes out of mental illness and parade them around.
>>152565577>Punches Mike before physically booting him outside.>"She's capable of sweetness!"Yeah but only after she's chops your tongue off so you can't taste it.
>>152565874It's not like Lucy doesn't deserve redemption but she threw that chance away, while Mike gets overlooked and stepped on every time he's nice.Psychologically, availability and kindness make you weak. That's the tragic part. Lucy's an asshole but she spent years conditioning everyone around her into tolerating her, that's just the way he is. Mike is constantly available and breaks his back for everyone, so everyone's learned to expect it and demonize him when he doesn't. You can't be abusive like Lucy but in her case, she's been kind and sweet enough towards the non-Mikes that everyone justifies her. Mike needs boundries and new (or improved current) friends. I dread to think what Liam would tolerate if he as Lucy's sex toy instead.
>>152565520C'mon, get mad Jordan, I don't care how petty it is start some FUCKING conflict.SOMEONE DO SOMETHING.
>>152566080>I had a similar “just put up with her, man” attitude when I first read the comic as a kid.I did too right up until she went after Paulo within 3 minutes of getting rejected after confessing her "love". I still liked Lucy mostly but that made me realize Mike was right to not trust her shit. It wasn't even the first time she latched onto Paulo when Mike wasn't around like when he almost died.
>>152566120Drama? In BCB the alleged drama comic? Madness!
>>152566127I wish BCB still did character arcs that made sense if you went back and looked at the earlier material. Well, maybe it still does given Paulo's mommy issues, but who cares about that?
>>152566120> Jordan wants to turn gay for Matt and goes to a boy like Paulo or Tiff's boyfriend for kissing and fucking practice. Not too far a stretch.
>>152566156>Well, maybe it still does given Paulo's mommy issuesNot really, that shit barely matters outside of Paulo using it for pity farming and we are never seeing that baby sister. It wouldn't even be intresting cause there is nothing Paulo can say or do about the situation that woukd be satisfying & I'm unsure taeshi wouldn't try and run cover for the mom just cause she has a daughter.I don't even think anyone currently has a character arc.
Every character is now a twisted parody of themselves.
The murder animal kids are heading off now alls well that ends wellActually I'm betting Mary drops her bag and the cops see her gore drawings she makes of her classmates
>>152566156There was one, Veronica said that Paulo was crushing on boys early on without knowing. He tried to flirt with one girl who was hanging with a guy and she implied that Paulo found the guy attractive but wasn't aware that he was bisexual.So far it's clear that Paulo is bisexual, it's strongly implied for David and hinted at for Daisy. For everyone else including Mike, Sandy, and Lucy, it's just a cute headcanon so far.
>>152566189Worse actually, there boring. There was already a parody comic that amped everyone up to 11 and even and Mike got killed by the retard.
>>152565795Where in that post did Taeshi say Mike was wrong? Unironically. The ask is framing Mike wanting Lucy's affection as a bad thing, but Taeshi's saying "No no, it was reasonable of Mike" and giving examples of Lucy having abused and gaslit her way into a corner.
>>152566212I can't get enough of Thea's (and Veronica's) cute characters.By the way I know this is obvious but Fauna= Sandy, Mary=Lucy, Clover=Daisy, and Devin=Mike. The inspirations, I hope Thea makes some cool easter egg parallels.
>>152566188>I don't even think anyone currently has a character arcOh I'm certain that Mike does, but the life lessons that Taeshi wants to beat into his skull are patently insane. Paulo and Daisy might also be riding a shared arc, but it's akin to one of those unremarkable roller coasters for small children that features a couple of very mild hills and that's it. It'll be treated as a big deal but no one who's read a real book will find it enthralling.
>>152566212Dumbass goodguy cop would make a good stepdad for Mary.
>>152566120What's that? Augustus needs some sucking to go along with the rimming? Say no more!
So how long till we get Rachel making out with Augustus?
>>152565543This comic passes the area of just being bad to the point where it's so insanely ridiculously retarded you can't help but laugh.
>>152566332Never, Taeshi castrated Augustus, and I'm glad because that ship triggers me for some reason.
>>152566307Agreed. He's good for Diane but she's supposed to be my waifu fuckbunny.But in all seriousness he's good for her. I ain't good with kids.>>152566312Jordan, Matt, and Paulo give him a birthday gangbang.>>152566212Hot take but I defend real person gore as artistic freedom. I doubt that Mary would be legally condemned for drawing it at her age in United States but she is Canadian. Elementary school teachers can be puritan schizos and out of experience I got a scolding for saying "shit" once. They'd freak the fuck out and give her disciplinary actions for drawing those even if cartoonish, or even if she won't act on violent fantasies.
>>152566287>Oh I'm certain that Mike does, but the life lessons that Taeshi wants to beat into his skull are patently insane.Yeah I don't know how the story arc of becoming a battered housewife(again) Is supposed to be good. Lucy already gaslight him so she just needs to stsrt the grooming. if Mike doesn't manage to get into an accident due to starvation.
>>152566332Rachel is trying to fuck as many guys as she can. One day Augustus, Mike, Jordan, Matt (and maybe James?) will make the list.
>>152565451>mafia baby>try to rape a girl>manipulate his way out of the ghetto>go to collegeI wish I was this good at screwing over othersyou can bet Lucy's family is also going to pay for it as well while he's there lol
>>152565529Nope, just guessing because Taeshi has no imagination. The way I see it there's only two paths the rest of this chapter can goPath A>Lucy Oh boy Augustus got his acceptance letter!>Lucy Oh no Augustus got his acceptance letter!>Lucy: The hot guy who lives under my roof is going away?>Lucy: AIEEEEEEE I'M GOING INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE!Path B is the exact same, except Augustus offers to stay in Roseville to keep being Lucy's babysitter and she tells him not to worry about her and you're supposed to admire how self-sacrificing she is (and then she goes insane in the membrane)
>>152566378I think Taeshi might be trying to reassure herself that this whole marriage to Suitcase business is actually a good thing, in the face of significant friction. With herself as the protagonist who is right about everything, of course.
>>152566410>and then she goes insane in the membraneI suggest that instead she tears up a bit in the privacy of her own room but powers through it and smiles forlornly so that we the audience know that Lucy is actually very mature and self-sacrificing. The boring, ooc, and narratively unsatisfying nature of this option leads me to conclude it is the most likely.
>>152566011I still want Abbey to confront Augustus for infiltrating the friend group and manipulating Mike into suicide, but that will probably never happen and this will be there last interaction>>152566307sweet innocent child, something bad is going to happen...
>>152566469>sweet innocent child, something bad is going to happen...Where did I suggest otherwise?
>>152566461I mean I don't think she'll act out then and there but it'll be made clear that the next volume will be all about Lucy seething, malding and having twauma because the hot guy she tried to molest is moving away. Taeshi will think this is ingenious pottery between Lucy and Mike, which is why she suddenly leaned in to the idea that Mike felt entitled to Lucy.
>>152566477hell :3
>>152566517Mary's mom is secretly a bitch? That's unfortunate.
>>152566511That sounds too damning for Lucy. Current Taeshi does not seem the type to paint her fursona as in the wrong about anything of consequence. Also it's too genuinely in-character for Lucy, much as I'd like to think you're right. Unless Mike's alleged entitlement streak is somehow supposed to cancel out Lucy's own sins, according Taeshi logic.
>>152566561I think Taeshi's not self-aware enough to realize this makes Lucy look worse than Mike, and she's going to be very upset when people don't sympathize with her self-insert.
>>152566561>Unless Mike's alleged entitlement streak is somehow supposed to cancel out Lucy's own sins, according Taeshi logic.Again, Lucy hit Mike till he bleed and this is not an abnormal occurrence. Lucy was a genuine bitch. The idea that Mike might want affection from Lucy without needing to get smacked or playing game isnt being entitled, espcially when she will give that affection to others without hitting them enarly as much. I argue in the old comic its made worse cause Paulo groped Lucy and really got as much flak as Mike for being nice to her. No shit, that would cause resentment.
>>152566517>Bleating Heart character relationship treeGot a link to the full thing?
>>152566609Oh I'm not contesting that Taeshi's accusations are nonsensical, hence "alleged."
>>152565577I don't understand why any of those comics are framed negatively. Were they not supposed to interpreted as cute, but sinister? Was it wrong for Mike to have feelings forr his best friend?
>>152566615herehttps://x.com/Flak0ps/status/1867993044819267989/photo/1
>>152566239That last bit is certainly implying there was some secret dark evil egomania behind it.

Then start beating me to death with a blunt object>RAPE is a
>>152566731Taeshi's lens must be fairly unusual. It reminds me of how she provided "evidence" for Mike's damnation during Line in the Sand by flashing back to earlier panels, only for many anons to point out how some of those choices actively contradicted the claim being made.
>>152565451Oh shit, looks like Augustus is gonna get tortured after all!
>>152566239The current post cannot be divorced from what else she has been posting, and the spirit of those entries.
>>152566239>Asker says Mike was objectifying Lucy>Instead of saying this is wrong, Taeshi literally puts words into Mike's mouth confirming it>"You're supposed to be mine! How dare you!"Gee I dunno, kind of seems like she's agreeing.
>>152566768I'm still not sure if she deliberately had Lucy mis-remember or she thought she retconned some of those but hadn't gotten to it yet or got confused by what she did retcon.
>>152566524Seems reasonable since Mary's gonna be Fauna's killer, and I think it's implied Mary's gonna disappear so your police boyfriend having your daughter as a suspecct/failing to find her is a big deal breaker I would say.
>>152566768It's one of the pieces of evidence that supports the whole "Taeshi is trolling the readers" by being so contradictory to the narrative at the moment, but honestly that's cope
>>152566741Wow I don't know who most of these people are lol
>>152566517>>152566524>>152566615I can't believe that the good guy cop is going to ventilate Mary with his service pistol
>>152565577>entirely reasonable assessment of Mike's point of view>wild swerve at the end to this being clingy and obsessive actuallyCome onnn you almost had it! What's wrong with you?>le teenage boy tendenciesReminder than Mike's desperate bids for attention only go as far as a kiss while Lucy slam dunks her pussy directly onto the nearest available male the moment she's upset.
>>152566820I think one of the damning ones is that the kiss under the three was included, which if you remember was initiated by her and Taeshi has very cleverly never corrected others when they say otherwise because it's very convenient
>>152566820At the time, I thought this mis-remembering on Lucy's part was probably deliberate. You know, based on her tendency to blame others (especially right after kicking Mike and seeming to realize she'd gone too far, and because Taeshi made some comment about Lucy wanting to change the subject). But then Taeshi started laying all the blame on Mike both in the page comments and later on tumblr. I think her plan was to rhyme with December by finally bringing all of Mike's sins crashing down upon his head. The problem being that December was the cresting of a wave that had been very clearly building for some time. What Lucy had done wrong had been made quite apparent long before. Line in the Sand had no such benefit. Whether that was due to Taeshi's overuse of "ambiguous storytelling" or her chronic inability to get a point across even under even the clearest of conditions, or because she finds actually retconning past material too hard, I do not know. But the effective end result is that LitS depended on Taeshi recontextualizing Mike's volume 1 behavior toward Lucy as a damning indictment.
>>152566973>Taeshi has very cleverly never corrected others when they say otherwise because it's very convenientYou know what's way funnier and sadder? She actually did. Repeatedly, in the Discord. To the point of personal consternation and one of her answers getting pinned. It was continually ignored. And the obvious solution, going back and modifying the panel to make her intention obvious? Yeah, she made some minor inconsequential changes that didn't actually help and then never touched that page again.
>>152566769>Mien Kamph>NOT FIRST ENGLISH PRINTING OF LOLITA>ONE FUCKING JOB ANON ONE JOB >>152566820>had Lucy mis-remember or she thought she retconnedYES also no also don't question Taes memory/sanity don't try and understand her thought process or logic. We've been over this lieks 9001+ tiems anon, it doesn't make sense ever. Because not even Tae understands her own logic its just whatever side that wins the battle in her mind gets written down. Extreme mentally illness is some scary shit, there is a nonstop war going on in Taes mind. Not for control mind you, but just so something anything gets pressed down on a page and work is finally done.
>>152567029Lord you know for all the shit people have brought up about the BCB discord.PEOPLE NEVER EVER(well sometimes, but very very rarely) POST JUICY SCITZOSPAM FROM THE DISCORD.

>>152567159You fuckin do it then
>>152565577>PauloShe treated Paulo like shit and hit him too. It's actually amazing that Mike and Paulo have not had some kind of connection over the fact that she alternated on which one she treated like shit depending on availability.>The last two paragraphs.There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with Mike wondering why Lucy can't be just as sweet with him without the physical abuse. That's a question anyone sane would ask out loud or to themselves. He was mad she threw herself at Paulo because she did it right after saying she loved him. Saying you love someone is a strong emotion, so it's easy to see that Mike looking at her suddenly swinging on paulo not long after could look like she was just saying shit to keep him around.>Teenage Boy TendenciesLucy will throw herself at the closest male cat around if she can't get Mike. She did this with both Paulo and Augustus. This Negative PR campaign since LitS has just been embarrassing. People walked out of that feeling bad for mike and disliking Lucy, Augustus, David, and James, and she's been trying to prove them wrong on tumblr ever since. Even the questions about Mike leaving everyone for good get her ass blasted
>>152566820>I'm still not sure if she deliberately had Lucy mis-remember or she thought she retconned some of those but hadn't gotten to it yet or got confused by what she did retcon.As much as she's been yapping on tumblr about the reactions to LitS, if it was deliberate then she would have said it by now. More than likely she just expected everyone to accept what Lucy was saying as truth, but that didn't happen.The Manipulator Mike angle cant work without a retcon so big that she would have to make brand new chapters to show it all. It would require more than simple panel removal and word bubble changes. Even if she did go back and try to shove new "You just didnt see it before!" chapters in to prove it, it would look incredibly sloppy.
>>152567201Taeshi used to understand why Mike felt so hurt and used and acknowledged how badly Lucy fucked up at multiple stages of her fallout. I wonder what caused her to reverse course and become even less mature than her past self.
>>152567276She hasn't been the same since her mental break down when doing the december c hapters. After that, she started projecting more of herself onto Lucy because she felt bad for making her "Look so pathetic" during that arc
>>152567159Anon Taeshi won't have her meltdowns there because she already did and abandoned the discord. Read carefully, her safe space/cult/carefully filtered group of yes men was not agreeable enough, and she left. You'll see some screencaps from time to time but none usually because they're so one way minded its not worth it
>>152567276Not taking her meds, shit husband and learning that she's sterile/infertile. At this point the comic might be her way of coping with the reality.
>>152567276This is just me throwing shit in the air, but wouldn't some of her BPD meds mess with her libido or something similar? If she's really trying to have a kid with suit she might have stopped taking them and thus this unfiltered PR campaign, although that would bring up the question of what's suit thinking letting this happen
>>152567333>that she's sterile/infertile.Consequently, it can sometimes happen when you are assaulted extremely young, or born that way.
>>152567333>learning that she's sterile/infertile.Is she? I thought the No babies stuff was more on Suitcase's end than her's?
>>152566741>>152566904Ohh wait is this meant for a timeskip? I'm really not caught up on things, I just know something awful is about to happen.
I dare someone to ask if Lucy is more traumatized by Mike's letters or by Alejandro.
>>152565527As I said last thread, the only way forward for Jordan is seppuku, reclaim his honor.
>>152567583Don't think about it cause Taeshi sure as shit doesn't.Nothing Mike has done is comparable to Augustus attempting to rape Daisy but look at who the narrative keeps treating as an unforgivable menace.
>>152567561Bleating Heart is intended as a precursor to a comic taking place years later called Murder Animals. For many of her OCs we only have material for them in the context of Murder Animals.
>>152567608Fine, I'll do it myself.
>>152565577The issue with Taeshi's over-correction here is that you can arguably apply this to any of the male cast members. Every boy has lusted after Lucy, they get a free pass and not Mike? This is why people speculate that he actually hates Mike.
>>152567583You mean ask her on Tumblr? Fat chance suit lets a question that requires actual engagement go through
>>152567616>Murder AnimalsNTA but this sounds like they all grow up to want to kill each other at some point.
>>152567317She did comparatively fine for a while after that, during the Paulo Show. Mike was treated well, Paulo got his arc, and her biggest sins were overusing the reset button and kind of meandering along with nothing plots. The writing was degrading over time, but it did not go into a nosedive until around when Lucy came back.
>>152565543Because it gives me a thing to discuss with the good anons of /co/, and we get the occasional gem like the Disco Elysiumposting during LITS and Amy.
>>152567640She absolutely hates Mike, this idea that Taeshi is going to eventually flip back to liking him because she wasn't actively torturing him for a while after Eternal Flame feels like cope.
>>152567333>learning that she's sterile/infertileIts cuckcase no? he's shooting blanks/retarded semen. Still that has to be soul crushing, being with someone for so long. Realizing youve never had a preggo scare. Because they're a massive unironic literal low test no sperm basedboy. You can never have children with them, you could try risking tens of thouands of dollars with insemination. But the odds of the child being retarded/health problems is really high.Adoption is basically impossible they're poor.Its so fucking hard to adopt in the first world countryYou cant chose the child you want most the time now, enjoy signing papers not realizing you are not forced to take a black/brown sub 50 iq baby. Foster care is totally on the table but sadly it gives you the worst of the worst coloured children. Or poor white children who have been so abused and fucked with they have been to 5+ foster homes. They are complete emotional nightmares. Even tho they would get money from the government 90% of the kids are fucked in the head. Still in this day and age SA is rampant psychological abuse is a must to be foster parents. Most people only do it to live like kings because every child is like a 2k a month welfare check. The government rarely does check ups, no one will listen to the children they are always lying clearly if they were good children they would not be in foster care ITS YOUR FAULT YOUR PARENTS DIED KID NOW YOU SUFFER. 8 kids in two small rooms give them next to nothing . Beat them all the time torture them for refusing to pray to jesus at dinner lock them in the basement for a few days in the dark cuff them spay mace on their wrist daily. Kids finally get taken away and thrown into new foster care only for shit to repeat again because they only allow monsters to become foster parents. NON-CHRISTKEKS AS FOSTER PARENTS OH HELL NO DENIED NEXTTTTTIf Taes eggs are fine and working, I would totally cuck suitcase. Give me 48 hours preggo with at least twins
>>152565577Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one. Not today. But I fucking might if Taeshi doesn't quit the shit.
>>152565563
>>152567642Yeah, but do you think she'll pass up on an opportunity to hate Mike?
>>152567681You misunderstand what "like" means when it comes to Taeshi and Mike and are expecting too much.
>>152567616Cool, can't wait.>check flaks' twitter>she says the comic's still 3-5 years away from the murders startingY-yay
>>152565543Because the fucking author successfully has everyone hooked after last chapter's shitshow. Not to mention the consistent update schedule, which makes for regular discussion. We're all fans here despite our vehement disdain towards the author, Taeshi. /co/ and the subreddit are the only places where we can openly criticize her as well.
>>152567464>>152567682
>>152567760Oh yeah, she's definitely using BCB to vent in some manner or another.
>>152567760Whats the deal with moving to strya anyways. Does she have friends/family that are Aussies. Is cuckcase a bogan faced cunted cunt.Also its not cheap there like you don't move unless you have an amazing job lined up. They are being flooded with shitskins so badly now its worse than in the 2000;s. An army of jeets eating up everything, stealing all the low paying jobs. Rape&SA skyrocketing scamming at an all time high. Drug use is horrible in aus, meth is a massive problem. The country is in really rought shape, moving their is a terrible idea. It would make more sense to move to Canada if they wanna get outta they states. Less risky cheaper housing/rent if its not toronto/vancouver. Job market is sketchy but most companies have filters that trash jeets cv's automatically because they are the worst workers,lie about everything and are a medical hazard they all have hep A,b&C along with other shit brihgt yellow jaundice eyes fucking allowed to touch peoples food. Even tho they very clearly have hep and their medical papers to enter the country are false&fake. It costs 30k to cure someone of hep C the side effects are horrific too. TB mumps parasites and etc shit skyrocketing destroying elementary schools infecting all the white children. Taking away decades of their lives, as they get infected with a shitload of bacteria viruses fungi and etc at once because of filthy unvax parasite filled crawling with antibiotic resistant super bacteria jeet children who also all cheat and fail everything.
>>152566469>That third panel sigh of "God you are just a constant fucking disappointment, aren't you?"Poor Abbey, no wonder he keeps his distance from the group.
>>152565451Is Lucy's mom a flighty broad or something? Jordan seems to have inherited her airheadness, it kinda makes sense why she's so fuckin useless when it comes to her children.
>>152567975She's too chickenshit to help Mike but fine with cozying up to Augustus.
>>152567986She's a tropy wife homemaker so yes
>>152567986She reminds me strongly of Fang's mom from SnootJust head in the clouds, ignoring anything that could affect her happy delusions
>>152567986I think that Taeshi is just really basic and thinks that people acting dumb is hilarious.
>>152567990I can pretty much picture it already>Daisy, why is Mike sitting outside alone on the bleachers staring at a tree branch like he's thinking of hanging himself from it?>Something seems to have happened between him and Lucy.>Oh that sucks, why don't you go give him some company?>I...I want to...but Lucy would be upset and uhh...well...I mean....I kind of owe her...and I WILL talk to Mikie just as soon as...aaahhhh...>Abbey hits her with THE LOOK and walks off to find Mike
>>152568119Daisy doesn't seem to give a fuck about Lucy's position on the matter. To the point that she seems pretty apathetic about whatever is going on with Mike. How do you think Abbey would react if his suggestion got nothing but a stupid blank stare of incomprehension?
>>152568244She blamed Sandy cheating on Mike, so I don't really know if she cares about him anymore.Assuming Abbey would t least ask what's wrong, unless Taeshi makes him go white knight for poor wittle Lucy.
>>152568293>She blamed Sandy cheating on MikeGenuinely, I can't tell if Taeshi thinks that makes Daisy likeable or not. NO guy would ever wanna here some justification for getting cheated on. I can't imagine her saying that to Mike's face.
>>152565451I like seeing Augustus succeed, but this feels like a trap.
>>152568293The girl, who had feelings for the boy for majority of her years, turns on him after years of rejection, perceived cruelty, and after settling on for the next closest thing. Like poetry.No but for real. Why the fuck did Daisy try to play Devil's Advocate for Sandy after she FUCKING CHEATED. You've automatically failed your partner and relationship once you cross that bridge, no matter the circumstances. One thing if it was rape, but it was 100% consensual.
>>152568727To insert Taeshi's statement that "we shouldn't care because they're both bad to each other".
>>152568466>>152568293In pretty much any other comic, Daisy's behavior would be portrayed as a huge red flag. Considering that Daisy is taking Sandy's side, I assume she is in fact meant to be wrong, but then she's also shitting on Mike so there is a conflict of interest for Taeshi.
>>152568727>Why the fuck did Daisy try to play Devil's Advocate for Sandy after she FUCKING CHEATEDBecause Taeshi has more or less always written Daisy to be jealous of Sandy and bitter toward her on some level. Now Taeshi has declared that actually fat cat has always been bisexual for Sandy and is in love with her, thus she's giving Sandy the benefit of the doubt. Basically she's a dumb whore.
>>152565451Let's see how long this one will stay alive >>>/trash/81293594Been a while since we had one of those
>>152569307Nice
>>152567760man, that just fucking sucks for herI hope Suitcase fucks her pregnant
>>152568119Lucy and Abbey never really hanged well with each other, she always found him too sappy, and now she's hanging with Augustus after everythingfeels impossible for me to see how Abbey would have a good opinion on Lucy after everything
>>152568718I sure fucking hope it is, motherfucker is smelling like roses after destroying Mike's last grip in the material world
>>152568727>>152568840>implying Sandy WASN'T justified in cheatingIf Mike didn't want to get cheated on maybe he should have put in more work on his end than texting "<3 how r u?" once a day.
>>152567760You guys should be hoping she gets knocked up. The mom hormones might make fix her brain long enough to stop abusing Mike so goddamn much.
I wonder if Taeshit will snap one day (maybe suitcase cheats on her again), goes VGCats mode, and just makes really bad porn of her cast members.
>>152570164True, true. Much like how if I hadn't wanted my dad to beat me, I shouldn't have bought him that pair of jumper cables for his birthday.
>>152570240BCBlewds is all I want to see from this comic series anymore
>>152566229Really? Name?
>>152570164Doesn't work that way nigga. You break up with em first. She was a cunt, plain and simple.
>>152570240The porn she's made is good tho? At least not disgusting on purpose
>>152570313Think they're talking about the official BCI one. 'Disaster Dominoes'. Basically a really over the top edgy parody, Paulo is infested with stds, Lucy is self harming, David is extremely mentally unwell, Daisy is anorexic, etc. Basically everyone but Mike is afflicted by something terrible, David kills Mike by running him over, and all the characters die by the end
>>152570437Post the trash ones on the trash thread, it’s the least you can do.
>>152565577>Paulo still the golden boy after years of literally objectifying Lucy and molesting her fat tits and ass>Lucy having sex with Paulo would literally fix her entire life>Mike is guilty of the thought crime of "Objectifying Lucy in his mind">Will never be forgiven for being upset that Lucy won't chase him the way she's constantly chasing Paulo's dick/rewarding him with free grabs on her body
Don't even want to post on here anymore because of these captchas
>>152570478You think I got them? Taeshi's porn is one of the hardest things to have unless you're one of her old friends, alongside the missing piss comic
>>152570606Yeah, you had the censored images so I thought you had the fulls and made the collage yourself.Also, any panels from the piss comic?
>>152565577There's nothing wrong with wanting the girl you like to stop beating you. There's nothing wrong with being miffed that she instantly latched on to someone after claiming to love you.Taeshi fraiming this as "Teenage boy Tendencies" and how Mike's wrong for thinking like this when, not only does Lucy toss herself at the closest guy around pussy first when she cant get Mike, but BCB has been a decade long crash out because she couldn't romantically have Mike
>>152570458Also McCain cameo
>>152570714Godspeed McCain, fly high you magnificent bastard!
>>152565577Oh, new part of this to get hung up on:>Why didn't you throw yourself at ME!?!?!?!She did, right? Just before she threw herself at Paulo she threw herself at Mike, and he said no. If he wanted that all along why did he say no?
>>152570559Dude, they aren’t that bad
I love how this board pretends they hate BCB and do not follow it from interest yet post daily about it here, post long complex paragraphs about it, know very obscure lore like this Mccain character or Amy and some admit they pay for itBut yeah everyone here hates BCB apparently
>>152570759Was it before or after he got a girlfriend?
>>152570779After, but he's apparently a cheater anyway so I don't know why he wouldn't go all the way under Taeshi's line of thinking.
>>152570776I don’t pay for it, they gypped me on the BCI I was promised with FITR.
>>152570776I do but laughing at how bad it is takes up practically none of my time, also I get to read it for free.
>>152570810I will say again, Suitcase literally stole from you and you still refuse to leak FITRThat is worse than paying for the comic
>>152570851The only reasons I haven’t is because 1). I don’t even want to look at my copy since LITS completely broke me.2). I don’t want them to fucking doxx me.
>>152570807Mike hadn't complete been castrated yet and Mike Is weirdly loyal mostly. Also I don't think throwing yourself at a guy only after he gets a girlfriend reflects positively. Especially after said throwing self and confession she hopes to the nearest guy with like 5 minutes. Again, not the first time Lucy vas done this and narrative outright ignored or pretends letters are worse. I fucking hate lucy.
>>152570776It's to take control of your life and force you to study deep /bcb/ lore because you can't stop yourself.
Anybody have the version of this image with Mike and Sandy?
>>152570776I like BCB, Taeshi's unhinged tumblr asks shitting on Mike are wonderful, Line in the Sand was a great chapter.
>>152570776I'm not one of those guys wishing death on Tae and Suit for writing a webcomic I don't like, so for me the fun is getting together to let off some steam a couple of times a week.
>>152571157https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/candybooru/post/view/16832
>>152571157I'm glad to see Clover had no reservations on moving in on her dead childhood friend's brother
>>152571337I think she’s cheating with him too.
>>152571157
>>152571390She is, they're having an affair and i think her actual husband knows too.
>>152571390I think her future husband is closeted so it balances itself out
>>152571327>>152571400Thank you>>152571411>>152571415Who is her actual husband again?
