Get a Haircut, Hippie Edition
>>153050007Mike's mom is about to groom him like a cat, lick him clean ahahaha who are we kidding? Taeshi could never be that creative.
>>153050007>Not noticing the baggy eyes and dead expressionI mean I get the parents are supposed to be ignorant for the plot to work but eh.
>>153050007Heaven forbid Mike be allowed to look a little more distinctive than default beanface cat doodle baseline.
>>153050077she knews this feeling too well and has no idea how to deal/cope with it herself lolLast line is weird tho >Is this just what's hot at school nowcoming out of the mouth of an overworked wreak is just odd. Also fuck me I might drop the comic I cant stand the colouring.I think its time some anons fix the comic and recolour this shit.
Oh boy! Can't wait for the Parent to be a useless non-character yet again!
>>153050136Mike's mom isn't dead inside. Taeshi is just drawing all the adults as tired hags for some reason.
>>153050077>>153050136>>153050139Shockingly, I can understand Mike's mom here. She's probably too preoccupied with work and a useless husband to realize that her golden child is crumbling down before her very eyes. She can't see that the one "flawless" thing left in her life is about to crack.
>>153050136>I think its time some anons fix the comic and recolour this shitWell why don't you fucking do it then?
>>153050209dont got a drawing tablet only a shitty laptop, id love to fuck around in clip paint
>>153050007Where's the April Fool's joke page, Taeshi
>get a rare insight into a character's situation from the homelife angle (outside of the boring Lucy shit)>this is doomed to become a Sue chapterI don't hate Sue or anything, but we all know how Sue chapters go. She does something arrogant or gets huffy over a bruised ego and gets checked for it.
>>153050119Yea my first thought was, if this is his depression look then he unfortunately has to go back to "normal" at some point. Sucks.>>153050277The joke is that you are still reading this comic anon
I have to agree with taeshi, messier is the better look for mike
Makes sense, easy to handle= easy to ignore, golden kids are supposed to give no issues according to parents
>>153050348I dunno about that. If even Taeshi can see the look is cute on him, then maybe she can just make up some excuse like "oh Mike's mom was so used to her son looking like a generic ken doll that any change put her off."
>>153050007dont get a hear cut
>>153050577> easy to handle= easy to ignore, golden kids are supposed to give no issues according to parentsThat is a fucking dogshit way to raise a kid. Wonder how often it backfires.
>>153051156they go full degen in university and risk self destructing
>>153050577I wonder if the discord would say this is all Mike's fault for not being open enough to share his problems with others or something.
>>153051156They grow up thinking their whole worth is in what their parents think of them, start underperforming for any reason and the guilt of failure starts eating them alive while the parents keep saying "you were so good back then". And if you actually keep up the standard and ask when is it a good time to relax actually you'll be told "you can always do more/better" and it'll fuck you up knowing you lost your early years trying to please someone that didn't care to be pleased
>>153051484Mike does worry about not being good enough to deserve the affection of others, often enough, so that seems to track.
God I fucking hate the discord. The absolute mental gymnastics people perform to believe everything was splely Mike's fault. Hell, they'll accuse him of being selfish when he inevitably self harms or something. Absolutely disgusting.
>>153050077>>153050139To play the devil's advocate for a bit, Mike seems to be smiling on the next page, so maybe in an outsider's (non-reader) point of view, he may not be signaling he is unwell very clearly.Then again, this is his damn mother, if anyone should be noticing there's something wrong with him, it should be her...I wish the parents in these kind of comics actually did something, but they really are usually just a bunch of non-characters for the most part.>>153051574The discord is unbearable, but there are a few people there who aren't complete Lucy simps. Either way I don't participate in there much.
>>153050357Is this what attracts the women?
>>153051829It should be attracting the Rachel, because pathetic cat boy with self-esteem issues. Perhaps she senses some inner chad energy that has otherwise been snuffed out to all outward appearances.
>>153051574What a pathetic thing to post.
>>153051990Suitcase is that you?
My good anons, I find myself at an impasse. Mike is by longstanding tradition the Crusader, but I find myself wondering if it might make more sense for him to be the bescarfed Highwayman and Paulo to be the Crusader.
>>153051829Usually the high achieving women.
>>153052122I do not know anything about Darkest Dungeon but suggest that you base your decision on the possibility that Taeshi will Lucyspace Paulo into forsaking Mike in favor of bow cat.
BCB drawn with realistic cats would be kinda funny
>>153050277She forgot, lol.
>>153052621I don't think she will, Paulo seems to be the one dude who is barely able to escape the confinements of Lucyspace... sometimes.Then again, there is picrel
>>153052705There are a couple of early warning signs. First there is Paulo continuing to synpathize with Lucy no matter what she does to him. The second is his belief that Mike getting back together with Lucy, in some capacity, would fix everything. I fear one angle Taeshi could go with is for Paulo to get mad that Mike won't just get with the program and do the "obvious right thing."
>>153052972Don't forget the "suicide nuke" just got reactivated with a less bullshit to work with hurt hip, so that can still be used as a sort of reminder of his faults if it gets found out (brought up by Lucy in the middle of a screaming fit because someone is calling her out)

>>153053112You know, it would have been a different flavor of bullshit for getring brought up out of nowhere, but Lucy's phantom injury would have still been way more convincing than the letters trauma nonsense. A lasting physical consequence seems like something Mike could feel immense guilt for and be condemned over. I'm not sure why Taeshi keeps choosing the much dumber options for this sort of thing, but that started back in Eternal Flame and has yet to let up.
>>153051574The discord usually drinks the most kool-aid.
>>153053292>I'm not sure why Taeshi keeps choosing the much dumber options for this sort of thing, but that started back in Eternal Flame and has yet to let up.She's too focused on the romantic angle, so it has to involve Sandy in some capacity. That and/or the letters are her way of pushing that retaraded "Mike manipulated Lucy's feelings" angle. She ended up making them way more important than they actually should be.
>>153051574>being in the discord>caring about the discord
>>153053292You have to remind yourself that Taeshi holds an annual season of mourning about that time suit messaged another girl while they were on a sonic forum and not even dating. For us it's silly but for her it is the same logic, the evidence of someone else on Mike's mind is enough, no matter if he wasn't romantic with Lucy or if she refused him already, he has to pay for this, accept his faults and be constantly reminded of it, or else her own version doesn't mean very much, and it HAS to
>>153053336Between sperg Mike, EF, and the letters, Tae keeps piling this shit on Mike, but none of it would be half as damning if it weren't for Lucy's suicide attempt. She seems a lot more interested in these other arcs but can't quite get rid of the suicide attempt, it's always lurking beneath the surface.I think it's pretty clear Sue and Paulo are only going as far as they are for Lucy because they're worried she'll try to kill herself again, so at least the table will have to openly deal with that shit soon. How far can Lucy coast on this before they run out of patience? Who am I kidding, the answer is forever.
>>153052122That would fit. Reynauld does start with Klepto, which seems apropos for Paulo.
I haven't had anything to do with BCB in almost two years. I clicked on an old website I had saved to my phone, saw a banner ad for it, and suddenly remembered this was a thing. Biggest mistake of my life. I've spent about two days catching up on where I remember stopping, and all I found was a disaster.Why the fuck did Taeshi have Paulo and Daisy get together. That was a terrible decision. Like really fucking bad. All I can think is that it is be cause Tae somewhat likes the pair and it is her husband's favorite pair. And also because MikexLucy was pre-ordained from the beginning. But still, why not just have them get together with someone else, or not be together with anyone at all by the end.Method Acting was an okay chapter that I kinda enjoyed, and I did like Date Night. I thought James was a pretty cool character for quite a while.Third Wheele and Second String were retarded as fuck. I didn't care for Participation Trophy. It seemed like just an excuse to throw in DavisxSue for no reason, despite the fact that NOTHING in the story has ever hinted that Sue or David even REMOTELY liked each other. Then all of a sudden it's like, "yeah, we always knew you were hot for David". Literally the only thing Taeshi ever did involving those two was the future BCI where they swap partners for baby purposes. Infact Sue been hinted at having like Mike in the past, and lately she seems to be more Lucy and Amaya than anything. So that little chapter made zero sense. Although SuexDavid is a better pairing than anything Taeshi has been doing lately.
>>153053720*continuedSandy is now a Vapid cheating whore who likes to brag about it to her boyfriend. Like what the fuck are you doing to your characters Tae?!But of all the shitty things I've read it's Line I The Sand that pissed me off the most. Augustus really is just a Lucy simping bitch boy now. Pathetic. James is a wishy washy little bitch who turns out to be just as bad as the others. Now even the gay guy crushing on Mike is simping for Lucy now?! Fuck him.Of all the regrets I have, nothing comes close to clicking on that link and coming back to this shit.
>>153053283>No divorce I don't know why you'd even bother leaking all this crap for Lucy stans and not the one BCI people actually wanted to read.
>G-Guh.. Paulo wants to shove my face inside a shit covered public toilet because of something completely unrelated to me?>I could defend myself but I won't because I'm just a Nice Guy Wow Mike is so kind, I can see why he chose to share his wife Lucy with Paulo after he divorced Daisy
>>153054590You know, Mike should have slammed Paulo head twice. Everytime she types, Mike was right to hurt Paulo in that moment.
