>>153420644Paulo not being subtle at all at being Daisy's new boytoy. Also I gotta respect for being a professional hater. Keep gatekeeping queen.
Commentary + preview
>>153420644>>153420666Sue did wellGive him nothing
>>153420715Sue went up a ranking for me. Anyone that shits on Paulo is good in my book
>>153420644>Once again in but a few panels Taeshi accidentally proves Pabbey superior to Paisy.I'm tired boss.
>>153420751Hear hearFuck that pussy ass bitch wet noodle faggot
>>153420751Yeah. If only Lucy, Augustus, David and James also got that same treatment... But I'll take any win I can get in this comic.
>>153420751Sue honestly looked so much better with her cute bob. The longer hair just looks weird to me
>>153420644I love how the entire table is just collectively ignoring James. A just reward for a treacherous viper.
>>153420751Why the fuck isn't there art of Sue and Amaya tag teaming Mike? They were both thirsty af for him before, this image alone was pure fetish fuel
>>153420948>They were both thirsty af for him beforeYeah, now for some reason Sue has the hots for Lucy and Amaya is non-binary, in the friggin' 2000's.
>>153420644One more for "why are these even friends". Also small win for Paulo, he can read now! That'll help with his Lucyspace induced dementia
>>153420892It looks like she lost at pin the tail on the donkey. Honestly, the hair in bcb looks weird without bangs of some sort.
AI anon, you did well on the Lucy video but I gotta ask: what's up with the male voices? They're pretty cringe>>153420644Hold up, why does Sue get to decide who Amaya gives those tickets to?I know lesbians are stereotyped to be abusive but Amaya and Sue aren't even dating until FitR2
>>153421120>the hair in bcb looks weird without bangs of some sortThis. This is the cire problems of majority of taeshi's characters. Especially the female ones. It's fucking weird why bangs are only limited to a couple of male characters, ie Paulo, Augustus, JamesLucy looks far more attractive in her FitR iterations because she actually has hair
>>153420644>>153421308And also, why is Sue so desperate to show off her boobs? Compensating for something now that Lucy is back?God, is this going to end up with Paulo and Sue at the cinema, Sue mistaking his insistence for a date, and then some weird love triangle?
>>153420644>you're making me read a lot of shit recentlyWhat a beautiful friendship developing almost entirely offscreen.
Daisy tells Paulo he should go to college, and he doesn't even entertain the idea. Abbey gives Paulo a self-help book and starts recommending other books to him, and Paulo accepts and becomes a reading enthusiast lol.
>>153421457At this point Paulo should just dump Daisy and fuck Abbey instead
>>153421545Daisy still hasn't done anything to make Paulo look at her like this either lol.
>>153421580Daisy when asked what he likes about Paulo starts describing Mike, while Abbey had seen a part of Paulo that he keeps buried deep inside of him and makes him vulnerable. Same reason he's so infatuated with Lucy, the girls who keeps rejecting him, gives him something to prove himself about, "I'm fine and it is your fault you don't want me", it scratches his itching sore spots, and also why he was attracted to Mike whose life he has made miserable more than once, because he likes him and calls him his best friend despite that, the "you are loved as you are despite your flaws", again mommy issued
>>153421545>>153421556>>153421580Ah shit, ye might be onto something. This chart was filled by Taeshi herself.
>>153421808>David is the second one with most starsWhy does she like this retarded dog so much?
>>153421808>LucyxDavid rated one of the highest.He really is the second in command of Lucyspace.
>>153421308Where's the booru again?
>>153421902>He really is the second in command of Lucyspace.>Mike losing James as a friend immediately was just an expression of Lucy space via david.Mike was born cursed since he was always gonna meet Lucy.
It's annoying how much of Lucy's character now is comprised of stuff that technically makes sense but that Taeshi took so long to capitalize on that it doesn't resonate whatsoever. It's just the "Lucy hitting Mike was abuse" twist but worse and done several times in a row.>>153421901Why does a butcher like his sharpest knife? It takes the least effort to use.
Why does Paulo care about a movie when he could barely even remember the title of the book?>>153421902She wants some of that BDC
>>153421999The fuck does that asker mean Paulo aint being comfortable around Lucy anymore??? He was literally hanging out with her during the intermission and earlier this current chapter, chatting her up as if nothing happened.
>>153421999>He knows she's going through a lotThis coming from the perspective of Mr. "At least your mother fucking loved you."
>>153421919Seconded. I lost the link and would be, oh so grateful if anyone could provide one
>>153422046Fucking amazing, I laughed
>>153422046>that last lineEheheh classic, I always love to see it
>>153421808Massive cock>>153421919https://ai.bcbnsfw.space/
>>153422046Every fuckin' time. It's pretty nice having our own loss.
I dont CARE about SAD CAT DRAMA I CARE about LECHEROUS SKUNK DRAMA
>>153421002>Yeah, now for some reason Sue has the hots for Lucy and Amaya is non-binary, in the friggin' 2000's.1) Nobody that isnt emotionally screwed up can have feelings for mike and act on them unless they're a flake like james.2) Comic takes place in the 00s but Taeshi's most likely got a fanbase of teens and adults that are more on the progressive side. So instead of james being called a faggot by everyone 50 times as he normally would be, you get this.
>>153421999>A lot of what she's going through is kinda his fault How? He used to be completely open to dating Lucy before! SHE was the one that would drop him the moment she thought Mike would be available. Even the last time they had a one on one talk, he offered to kick Mike out and she slapped him!Unless there's proof of otherwise, this just sounds like more "Lucy isn't responsible for her bad decisions! It's everyone else's fault!"
>>153422461>>153421999>A lot of what she's going through is kinda his faultYeah, doesn't make any sense. Paulo has always simped for Lucy and stopped everything to attend to her every whim, even throwing Mike under the bus on multiple occasions. How is this his fault?]You just can't win with Lucy. You either are blessed with her favor from the get-go, or forced to dance a pointless dance for her.
>>153422461I'm almost certain she's implying Paulo sexually harassing Lucy back in volume one is responsible for the self worth issues that are preventing her from trusting anybody now. It's another thing like the letters, a dead plot point from volume one being reanimated and commandeering the story. Characters react to things based purely on years old interactions while every development since takes a back seat. That omnibus reread is one of the worst things to happen to this comic.
>>153421457At least it'a actually implied this time.>>153420644I really hope this is setting up for some SuexAbbey. My heart yearns for more after that one writeanon left.Also, tried to do a beach day thing as I had some time. Scanner is making it awfully contrasted so I just took a picture of it. Feedback would be nice. >>153422207I haven't said much about it, but I am really liking what Flakops is putting out. still don't know about the sex comic that is supposedly before the dinner one, is it on a website of hers? I'd like to get some more context.
>>153422704Amaya! How shameless! These four would be a better main cast than the girls we're currently working with.
>>153422127>54 pagesI see people are being busy little bees
>>153422704Wait I thought the NSFW comic was just a shitpost. Try checking tumblr if you have an account it might be on there.
>paulo and sue want to see the same movie>only two ticketsThis ship writes itself, unfortuantely Taeshi is desthly allergic to anything interesting.
>>153422704Why are their swim trunks so low? Did they buy the wrong size?
>>153422976Nah that was the style back then, hang em low
>>153421308In my heart I knew the male voices were cringe I just figured it was worth the cringe for narrative reasons, clearly not lol.I don't know why the male voices are so bad but I can stop using them.And try to do more non-Lucy/Sandy stuff while I'm at it.
>>153422729It's alright, Amaya is a girl born with male nipples so she can go out topless
>>153421999>Have you considered the reason everyone feels bad around Lucy isn't because of her rancid attitude but because how guilty they feel of failing her?
>>153422643>I'm almost certain she's implying Paulo sexually harassing Lucy back in volume one is responsible for the self worth issues that are preventing her from trusting anybody now.Falls flat on its face when paulo's been shown multiple times to like her on an emotional level too. But Taeshi just cannot help everyone else being at fault for Lucy's stupidity
>>153422461One avenue that actually makes sense to me is that as soon as David, world’s most evil man, convinced Paulo he was a pussy for not taking advantage of Lucy and he ran off to sleep with every available woman to get his virility back, Lucy took that as a betrayal and never really trusted him again. To this post’s point, if he hadn’t done that he could have been the dick that she apparently needs to fix her.The molester stuff would be better if anyone would ever bring it up again, just so it’s clear it’s not something she’s sweeping under the rug. Just give Lucy a PTSD flashback about it, or make Paulo a molester in her dreams or have him say “I used to be a real creep to you” or literally anything except make a Tumblr post hinting at it maybe.
>>153420644>Sue and Abbey talking amenably about how to distribute these tickets to a thing they're both interested in>Paulo hears they're free and jumps in to ask for both ticketsWhy is he such a leech?
>>153422998What pisses me off is that they haven't learned a fucking thing. All the signs are there with Mike and they're all just gonna let history repeat itself. Paulo and Daisy are the worst offenders. Daisy's a fucking coward and Paulo is a simp for Lucy. The both of them KNOW something is wrong with Mike but they're content with having their thumbs up their asses.But hey, maybe I'm being too harsh on them. After all, they're not Mike's babysitters, they're ultimately responsible for his own decisions, that's all on Mike. I just hope they don't act all shocked when he inevitably ends up in the ICU.
BH
>>153423505>I just hope they don't act all shocked when he inevitably ends up in the ICU.They will. They will act shocked and surprised. James might feel super shitty. David will possibly say something dumb that gets Paulo and/or someone else to snap at him about how he reacts to basically everything
>>153423511>Bringing up her husband while cuddling up to her clearly uncomfortable "childhood friend" who she's slept with previouslyShe's a goddamn virtuoso. Even on the vanishingly slim chance she's NOT doing this on purpose, her level of instinctual talent is incredible.
>>153423511YES YES YESBLOW HIM YOU CHEATING WHORE DO IT GO FOR ANOTHER CHILD
>>153423552As if it won't be treated as justice. According to Taeshi, Mike was never a good person. She said we're meant to feel empathy for him, but I highly doubt it.
>>153422643It's this.
>>153423896The retcons could have reduced Paulo's rapist vibes without making Lucy's trauma out of nowhere
>>153423466>>153424023But anons, writing things consistently to have set up and pay off is hard. It's so much easier to just retcon stuff whenever, and if anyone ever goes "hey, what about ____?", pick some out-of-context panels that kind of resemble addressing it, and patch with more retcons! Or don't even bother and laugh it off, because cause-and-effect is an unrealistic narrative contrivance.
>>153423473>"I dunno Daisy, maybe Mike's right. Maybe I am just a bum.">"He didn't call you a bum. He called you a sponge.">"SPONGE!?"
>>153423896>editing out Lucy being assaulted in the comic makes people think she wasn't assaultedwho would have thought?
Paulo has the body Amaya can only dream of
>>153423896Another reason Lucy's treatment of Mike is top of mind is that it precipitated the biggest turning point in the comic. Since December she's barely done it, but if the tipping point for December was just Sandy being evil and saying "you cannot be friends with Lucy" then I doubt we'd be talking about it very much.
I do like that most of the comments here are either SuexAbbey or SuexPaulo, praying to the demiurge to give us SOMETHING beyond sticking her next to a non-character or Lucy.>>153423463You could pull something off where Paulo has to actually confront his treatment of Lucy in his Don Juan LARP to get Jordan's blessing or something, but it's so far removed it would feel actively insane to be a sticking issue.>>153422729If you swap either girl for Sue the main four become so much more interesting. You could do this with Abbey and either boy as well.
>>153423896>Paulo being too touchy-feely and getting punched for itvs>David feeling up her unconscious, naked bodyone of these things is not like the otherthat said, how is Lucy supposed to be traumatized by the David thing? does she even know it happened? DID it happen?regardless, the whole premise here of both that idiot fan and Taeshi is judging these kids like they are adults for the lines that kids cross BEFORE they "kNoW bEtTeR" because... they're kids. testing boundaries is how kids be.probably a BPD thing - they can either see characters as all good or all bad, which precludes the cognitive ability to understand characters changing over the course of even their own work, including something as simple as growing up. they'll reimagine the entire past of something as all good or all bad depending on how they feel about it in the present, and invent new events and/or motives that didn't exist to "support" said "trauma". black-and-white thinking is applied retroactively to their own memories.this is probably why the retcons happened in the first place.
>>153425112>how is Lucy supposed to be traumatized by the David thing? does she even know it happened?Lucy's trauma is supposed to come from everyone around her sexualising her, expressed by a few examples like Paulo and David groping her. It's not just them, it's supposed to be everyone. It rarely came up before and with the retcon it's even less common
>>153425112David is retarded and legit stimming out to how soft she is in a completely "normal" way
>>153425336>It's not just them, it's supposed to be everyoneso Lucy's trauma is supposed to be from her ENTIRE "friend group" of barely pubescent teens being attracted to her, which is just another "Lucy is a perfect and beautiful angel" idea being twisted for pity points.it's all so stupid. i can never take any of the "ohmygod Lucy is just like meeee" comments seriously - especially since her experience is not even remotely what real PTSD looks like. is the entire paying readership just full of LARPing narcissists?
>>153423511What the fuck does she think she's doing? This looks absolutely premeditated cheating, nothing resembling a moment of passion. She came in here with a MISSION.
>>153425514Anon as Ive said dude is literally the father, shes back for round two. Just look at that baby, it dont look like her husband. Maybe they're hardcore swinger degens and dude is hitting on his mom right now
>>153423896>>153425112Why doesn't fucking David ever gets punished for his shit, then? It was always just Paulo. When David does shit it's always 'oh you!'.I fucking hate that retarded dog, I just wish he got kicked in the nuts hard with a steel-toed boot.
>>153426157You're asking why boats don't get seasick, anon.
>>153426157because he's not a character
>>153426219>>153426264I know, it's a rhetorical question at this point. I keep complaining about him on almost every thread, but he is legit the only character that makes me seethe.Not Lucy, nor the edgelord cat, or Paulo, Daisy, Mike (when he is spineless), and not even James, the second-worse character. Only David makes me pissed off. A non-character that is devoid of purpose, just comes in, does what he wants, and leaves, completely unpunished by the narrative. He could stand up, shit on the teacher's desk in the middle of the class and puke on the teacher, and somehow he'd be forgiven, applauded, and receive an A+.
>>153425480>is the entire paying readership just full of LARPing narcissists?I assume it's a mix of that, and the fact that BCB's continuity is so vague that it's easy to read into it whatever you want. Lucy's PTSD and other assorted issues aren't detailed or elaborated upon, so if (you) identify with her you can fill in the blanks as needed. And if you write in to Taeshi, you can even get a couple of panels or a sketch that vaguely alludes to whatever you mention, along with some fluff about how she's glad you identify with her characters.
Which leg did sue break?
>>153425336>Lucy's trauma is supposed to come from everyone around her sexualising her, expressed by a few examples like Paulo and David groping her. It's not just them, it's supposed to be everyone. It rarely came up before and with the retcon it's even less commonPaulo being a cause feels flimsy because he's been shown multiple times to like her for more than just her body (For some reason). And again it begs the question of why she would put herself back with these people at all. Why even come back to school? Just to spite everyone to their faces? If they really did leave her ass alone, she'd have a breakdown and start thinking about the december rant for more "Trauma".
>>153422704It’s wonderful to see your artwork again anon.
>>153423896This bitch would retcon Alejandro entirely if it wouldn't eliminate Lucy's only excuse for being such a cunt.
>>153427650(you)rs
>>153423511>That look when she mentions her husband that practically screams "You wanna be the husband shaping our child?"Jesus fucking Christ, ref do something!
>>153425336It was more defensible when the fancharacters existed, because then you DID have a fair handful of randos cat-calling and flirting with Lucy. But now they've been retroactively erased from existence, so the only instances of Lucy being bothered by boys is Paulo being pushy (and he was retconned to not grope her) and confrontation (where Lucy only helped after Mike stood up for Sue & Paulo, because she's a psycho who only cares about Mike).
>>153423511This is the kind of whoring that the bible warns about
>>153423511So why did the two of them break up if he's still desperately in love with her and she's still thirsty as fuck for him?
>>153423511He didn't get panicked from her cuddling him, he got startled from how much she just absolutely soaked the couch at the lightest touch. You could hit the thing with napalm now and it wouldn't even smolder.
Remember, Lucy's suicide is a secret, and Lucy's going to keep that secret, despite the fact that the whole class found out the day after.
>>153430077Unironically what's left to spill other than the specific method used to do it? The only relevant character who hasn't had a chance to have zero reaction to finding out is Daisy, and she'll probably just do what she's been doing and shadow Paulo.
>>153430363I feel like since Daisy and Paulo got together she's just vanished into the aether. We've had like 3 instances now of everybody hanging out at lunch or after school, where Paulo's there but Daisy is no-where to be seen.Where the fuck is she? I know she's supposedly busy but she's not busy WITH anything, because Taeshi doesn't care about her enough to specify what her extracurriculars are.
>>153423896In hindsight, I can see why Mike got so bitter about Lucy bullshit before the retcons. If you take it at face value,Lucy let the guy who sexually molested her all the time get close to her and any time prior to sandy, Mike tried & he was met with violence. Why was lucy such a cunt with Mike exactly?It is still funny all the retcons fucked Lucy up.
>>153429369She's sleeping with the ref, too.
>>153421808>Lucy: 5 stars>Daisy: 0 starsUnfortunate she hates her supporting heroine so much. Mike at least got 2.
>>153430666Yeah... I don't like Daisy because I don't really trust her character, but I do feel bad for her in that sense. She is constantly neglected by the story, like she was put there just to serve as an stepping stone or something.
>>153421808>Jasmine is for Paulo or AbbeyBased>MikexLucy has the same colours as LucyxDavidCome on guys this girl is desperate, someone just dick her down already
>>153430761>MikexLucy has the same colours as LucyxDavidYeah, it's ridiculous.The only interactions David ever had with Lucy were him physically harassing her or him kissing her ass. He never ever had any significant heart to heart moment with her, any serious conversation, or dramatic moments, nothing. How the hell is he a favorite? What kinda message is Taeshi trying to pass here?
>>153430783Lucy is DESPERATE to get her guts rearranged.https://files.catbox.moe/9001q5.png
>>153427810Thank you anon!>>153423511picrel, I feel like a prophet. This reverly of sin is bordering on exquisite, and the guilt is juicy. Also, >>153422820 I checked her twitter and THIS was the "sex comic" she was talking about. so it might go farther.
>>153431002Not the same anon but yeah, it's nice seeing you and your art again mate.Got any cryptic future knowledge? Or were you banned from the patreon?
>>153430783>How the hell is he a favorite?My memory is a little hazy, but if I remember correctly, a fan asked Taeshi why she likes Lucy x David so much, and her answer was something like that David's personality is based on the personality of an older, pre-BCB version of Mike, so this ship makes her nostalgic or something like that. Basically, Lucy x Davis is prototype Mike x Lucy lol.
>>153431242>David is a prototype Mike>It has always been self aware thanks to it's connection to the demiurge>It's been waiting to finally execute it's plans at the perfect time>Line in the Sand>"I killed him"
>>153421808I might be retarded but idk how to read this
>>153431394It's a matchup table. You HAVE to have seen one of those at some point, even if just picrel for example.
>>153431381It remembers what it once was. It hates the thing that has crawled into it's skin, and wishes to reclaim the flesh it once wore.
>>153430980>Lucy would literally die just to fuck David's giant dick What in the fuck
>>153431394Color key at the bottom. For some reason Taeshi split it along the diagonal into "how much she likes the ship" at the bottom-left and "how well the chemistry would work" in the top-right. So that makes it harder to read, because every character overlaps with another twice in mirrored positions: one shows how good the ship is (~objectively~ or whatever) iin green/yellow/red, and once to show how much Taeshi likes it in pink/lavender/navy. Also she put blue stars on her favorite ships.The information we can glean from this includes:>Taeshi's taste in ships is not only bizarrely trash, but totally divorced from her own writing, since she has shit like Pucy, Dabbey, and Lugustus listed as green/pink>Taeshi doesn't like Daisy much, since she has NO favorite ships for her, not even Paisy (though she is dumb enough to have it be green/pink)>Taeshi is a total fujo, since she gives Abbustus a star and lists Jordan as green with Matt, Augustus, and Paulo (implying she thinks SA in a public restroom is "great chemistry and would totally work")>Taeshi is into orientation-bending and mindbreak, since she "likes" PauloXMadison and LucyXJames
>>153430363>Unironically what's left to spill other than the specific method used to do it?I don't fucking know anon. The "who knows about Lucy's suicide and when they found out" plothole is a gaping chasm, an unbridgeable gap of logic and structure.I've come to the conclusion that Taeshi doesn't really see BCB as a story, but as a setting. She's not interested in keeping track of continuity, or tying off plot threads neatly. She just likes playing with the characters and their dynamics. It's like capeshit or sitcoms: no matter what, everyone and everything returns to "normal" when the arc ends (or gets unceremoniously dropped).
>>153421808>Haley is as plot-relevant as Amaya (which is to say she's very much irrelevant) and yet she doesn't even get to be in this chartOuch
>>153429570Watsonian: Flakops said that they broke up due to some kind of misunderstandingDoylist: Flakops has a cheating fetish
>>153426494I think that's the answer to the question, so long as he remains a non-character it's 'safe' for him to act like this. He's stuck as the whacky comedy character because addressing any of his actions in a serious light would paint him as a sociopathic retard.
>>153420644Sweet that Abbey and Paulo are getting along better, though Paulo and Sue remain frenemies as allways, something she has in common with Abbey.>>153423511She's so going to cheat on her husband. They should make a healthy polycule right away and abolish the jealousy. Like the hopefully inevitable B.C.B climax B.D.S.M polycule orgy.
>>153432186Putting Haley in there would force her to admit that MikexHaley is the best Mike pairing out there, can't risk that
>>153434837>She's so going to cheat on her husband.Yet again
>>153430077Maybe the answer is that everyone found out a girl attempted and everyone found out Lucy left and nobody put two and two together because Roseville drinks runoff from Hub City
>>153431903>Taeshi is into orientation-bending and mindbreak, since she "likes" PauloXMadison and LucyXJamesThe only Based thing that woman has put out in years
>>153437050She’s also got Jordan x Matt under “nothing significant standing in their way.”Also the Lucy/James relationship in the canon comic is so inexplicable. Why does she put up with him?
>>153421808>Jaems x Augsuts> The only reason he listened to him is cause he thinks he is attractive.This chart needs updates.
>>153421808>james x mike has a green squareYea this fuckin list definitely needs to update, that shit should be black at this point
>>153421808Abbey needs to hurry up and get with Jasmine already, show everyone what a real couple looks like
>>153438484Jasmine pregnancy arc when
>>153437050you just know she's got some secret sketches of rachel straightening matt out
>>153439476
>>153431903A lot of the gay ships could just be her fujobaiting. Her having Paulo spill Matt's crush on Jordan just to have him turn into mr gay relationship guru and insist Jordan cannot possibly be gay based on nothing thus they can't even try dating was a massive middle finger.No one gives a fuck about Jordan or Matt individually, there is nothing lost letting the two date especially if you supposedly like the ship. It just doesn't make any sense.
>>153439609>Her having Paulo spill Matt's crush on Jordan just to have him turn into mr gay relationship guru and insist Jordan cannot possibly be gay based on nothing thus they can't even try dating was a massive middle finger.It's immensely weird considering almost the entire named cast is gay in some form or fashion. To the point that homophobia feels as alien to the comic as racism specieism?
Comic has just been Mike torment and animal faggotry for a decade now, what a waste
>>153439790Are dogs the comic's black people?
>>153440218Yes, Taeshi herself said so Also there's a panel from the old comic where Paulo says "What's up dog" and David says "That's our word"
>>153440768That explains a lot
>>153432186In fairness it is originally a fan chart, Taeshi just picked it up. Stacy (the superior bratty tsundere) is missing too.>>153438426It wouldn't matter. Taeshi listed Dabbey and Pucy as green/pink, and this was after Abbey broke up with Daisy (again) and Lucy yelled "YOU NEVER HAD A CHANCE" at Paulo.
>>153440098Up until Sandy cucked Mike he didn't suffer at all and even then him sticking around to continue getting cucked is his fault alone
>>153442568It's almost like he's written to be a spineless cuck and it's not fun to read because of that
>>153442653>It's almost like he's written to be a spineless cuck and it's not fun to read because of thatAlsot like taeshi ripped out nuances, delegitimized Mike's issues via speging to make Lucy look good(though Lucy spergs too so idk), then shit all over any of Mike's positive qualities for literally no reason. Seriously, I have no idea why she stripped out his good points, is it the same reason Paulo is more gay than Matt and James?
>>153436135I think the funniest option is that Lucy and Mike THINK her suicide is this big secret that only they know about, but actually everybody realized what happened immediately. Hence why Lucy has twice now tried to pull the "I tried to KILL myself!" card only to get no-sold by people going "yeah, I know, why are you yelling?".
>>153431869>Look at you, Mik-Maish-Michael. A pathetic creature of flesh and bone, running for your meager l-lie-life. This arc-ark is a cathedral to my di-divinity, ity, and you are a philistine, ignorant and unworthy of my coven-ven-covenant.
>>153440218David at least is clearly supposed to be the stereotypical token black guy. Old comic sometimes joked about it.But I bet if you asked her nowadays, Taeshi would deny or redirect the question.
>>153435508Relax, Anon, after Taeshi consumes tcoaal, she will finally realize the truth.
>>153443580>TwicePaulo and...?
>>153443952>Ashley is extremely Lucy-coreCringe way of putting it but it's not wrong, just not in the way she thinks lmfao
>>153444203Ashley is by far superior to Lucy. Not to mention her rockin, fat tits nahmean?
>>153443952>she's like if lucy hated her mom and couldn't make friendsFunctionally not much of a divergence imo>I'm fascinated to know that Ashley isn't the one who wants Andrew in the first place!>Andrew is just a ~helpless victim~ who can't escape this ~nasty bitch~>a familiar kinda discourse isn't it..Taeshi I'm sorry that you wrote Lucy as a nasty bitch that Mike can't escape from but what's done is done. Honestly, I miss the Taeshi that knew Lucy's clinginess was a problem and a burden for whoever she clung to. Now everything she feels and wants is someone else's fault.Anyway should I play tcoaal anons?
>>153444586Struggling to think of a single time Mike started shit where none existed previously. People do bad things to Mike and then it's Mike's fault for not taking it with gentle good humor. Fully 99% of the comic wouldn't have happened if Lucy were medicated and Paulo's mom stuck around.
>>153444586Tcoaal is overhyped, it's also funny she compares Mike to Andrew because Andrew is exactly the character she wants to make the audience believe Mike is, but Andrew is actually written like a dickhead and everything we find out about him paints him as a bad friend, an emotional manipulator, etc. while Mike's actions are either completely rational and neutral or sperging out because taeshi need SOMETHING to happen
>>153445442Mike's spergouts when someone badmouths Sandy is probably the only thing they have in common but ironically Andrew only does that when people badmouth Ashley because he's obsessed with her and masks it as "protecting his little sister" while acting completely different and significantly less angry when Ashley calls his "gf" a whore
>>153443982And her own mother (Carol or something?) and little brother, Jordan.
>>153445039>Struggling to think of a single time Mike started shit where none existed previously.Really really early in the comic he'd be the one starting arguments sometimes. Other than that, there's the time he crashed out on Sue out of nowhere, and sometimes he redirects his angst via bitter remarks at whoever happens to be in his proximity.And confrontation, sort of, but Alejandro was going to escalate into a shake-down no matter what Mike did.
Bump
>>153421808I really just don't get this, the same combination can have different ratings.
>>153447795No, they can't. It's split down the duplicates line into character chemistry and how the author feels about the pairing. Sorry you're retarded.
>>153447795It is a bit confusing, yeah, but the upper/right part (the one with the green, yellow and red squares) shows her opinion on how compatible the characters are with each other, in 'concrete' terms, with green being 'very compatible', yellow being 'more or less compatible', and red being 'non-compatible'.The lower/left part (the one with the black, pink and purple squares) shows what she thinks about said ship in abstract terms, with black being ships she does not approve of, purple being ships she doesn't care about, and pink being ships she enjoys.The ones with the star are her favorites regardless of how compatible the ship would actually be.
