A single image and a small 4min youtube video plus some a few paragraphs of text.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7ri_CvoplI
>>153526863>video exists just to retcon Lucy as being le poor victim of Mike's totally unreasonable hostilitybruh
>>153526863this amv goes hard if you're a bpdemon that can't do no wrong
>>153527010Its gonna be fun when anons see thisShe did however do a good job on it even if its just an animatic still must have took forever to do.
Gonna be real I’ve only been aware of this existing since around 2017, what do you mean 20 years?!
>>153527065the webcomic has been out for 20 years first page was posted 3/5/06 its been getting updates since.120+ chapters god knows how many pages.
>>153526863Perfect day for a trash thread, no?
I'll admit wasn't expecting to see a thread today, but I'm pleasantly surprised.Happy 20th anniversary you colossal faggots, love each and every one of ya.
>>153526863oh right forgot the text on the homepage for those that are lazyHAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY, BCB!!May 4, 2026It’s a huge milestone. Many other big moments have been approaching in our lives recently — the biggest thing being us moving back to Australia in less than a week(!) But through everything, BCB has been by my side all along these big transitions, from the moment I posted Mike and Lucy online for the first time on May 2nd, 2006.It’s incredible to know that these characters I created as a child, who I always expected to keep close to my heart and maybe expose to a very small portion of people I knew — have been read by, what, tens, hundreds of thousands of people? It is my job! My livelihood! It’s everything! I can’t stop thinking about them! And it really is all thanks to you, my lovely readers! You’ve given these ancient little characters so much life by loving them so much and encouraging me to continue. There’s been such an outpouring of support for the 20th anniversary, in direct messages to me on social media, little thank you notes alongside orders of our old merch, emails, everything!!! It’s so humbling. Thank you so much for letting my little creatures shine so bright!ANYWAY. Since so many great big things have been happening with BCB — the new colour scheme, the anniversary sale selling us out of tons of merchandise (that itself feels like the end of an era!)… finally, it’s time…Time for a cringe animecore AMV.
>>153527143I’m sure a lot of people are familiar with listening to music and creating little AMVs in your head. I’ve been doing this for a long time! With certain songs I have little gestures in my head plotted out — others entire scenes. But I’ve never made anything of them. I’ve thumbnailed a couple of AMV ideas before, I think around 2009? But I never had the guts to actually make them. I never felt I had the skill for it, felt it was impossible. I’m not trained in animation at all! I am not an animator! Comics have been all I’ve really made over the years.Anyway.. as BCB’s 20th anniversary was creeping up, I was thinking I could try to do something extra special for it. Would I be able to make something satisfying? Is there a song I can use? I thought these things as I pretty much had 70% of Killer Tune plotted out in my head. That’s always how it was.. I’d get into a song, come up with an entire sequence.. and have it sit in my head until I’d forget about it again. I’d never put it to paper. But with this one I did, I figured I should, no time like the present!And.. here it is. I hope you enjoy it!!!!!!! As I type this I’m very much freaking out because the AMVs I make in my head are so personal and sincere.. and now people are seeing it, I guess. I feel extremely embarrassed!!! I guess that’s the eternal story of BCB — a personal story I wrote in my private time that I ended up making public and feeling vulnerable about until suddenly I get thousands of eyes on me, looking at all my cringe. I am going to hide in a corner and vomit and die now thank you>>153527124I mean she said something was going to be posted a 4 min animatic is cool, its also ragebait.
>>153526863I appreciate that Taeshi finally spelled out Lucy's psychosis in a way that's clearly meant to be sympathetic and dramatically grandiose but falls flat because of how she imagines her friends. Mike isn't spared from this; why the fuck does he imagine Daisy of all people turning away from him? This seems like more evidence that Taeshi has a warped carnival mirror version of this comic running in her head.
>>153527166>its also ragebaitoh good things were too calm today
>>153526863>McCain wedged in the center thereRELEASE HIM!...No actually nvm he'll just be a less energetic David.
>>153526863I'd give anything to shed the figurative tears of joy and sorrow I felt when first reading this.
>>153527106All days are good days for lovestruck character porn.
>>153527229>>153527243Nice tripcode
>>153526863It's amazing how she retcons the characters every year.
>>153526863>>153527106Fuck it, let's see how long this one lasts:>>>/trash/82634751
>>153526863>>153527033>>153527143>>153527166The song is great, and it's cool that she made an AMV to celebrate it all.I dunno man. I know I rage about it here, have been doing so for years and years, but I can't help but be nostalgic about it all. For better or worse, I've been reading this for about 17 years or so, though I don't even know why. Saw this ad on another webcomic I watched, It caught my attention, and I've been reading ever since... must've been around 2009 or 10.I kinda do care about the characters, I know that Taeshi went through her own share of hardships in life, it's just that the comic is unnecessarily frustrating and annoying to read most of the time.I really wish things were less so, and that greater care and less bs was put into the comic.
bleating heart updatewhores gonna whore
>>153526863Our HEROES
>>153526863The "Mike sad because no Sandy" stuff falls flat after the reveal Sandy was cucking him, it doesn't make me feel bad for him it just makes me think he's a chump I don't know why Taeshi is still pushing this
>>153527854What's with these stories romanticizing cheating man? I hate that stuff.
>>153528111From what I heard in this case the author has a cheating fetish. As for why fuck me man people are so depressed and sad. Self hatred and apathy is so fucking high. People dont want romance they want to see shit burn for petty reasons. Mostly jealousyI hate it but it makes perfect sense. Fucking western society is a powder keg waiting to blow in a spectacular way due to so many god damn reasons.
>>153528160Sad but true. A bleak outlook.Still, personally I prefer to read stuff that gives me some hope, which I guess is the reason why modern BCB annoys me so much.
>>153528111have you seen what the author posts on twitter? they literally advocate for cheating
>>153528222>have you seen what the author posts on twitter?If you have not learned to never ever ever read what an artist posts online yet on social media. Fuck me man nigga you retarded
>>153526863>Alejandro in the corner on Lucy's side>Sandy on Mike's corner.Sandy, the ultimate villain...
>>153526863Are there any genuinely likable characters that haven't been ruined?
>>153528281AMAYA :D
>>153527854
>>153528160It will work out and we will return hope and decency to man once more
>>153528222No, but I had my suspicion it was the case.>>153528275Many such cases, unfortunately.
>>153526863>All characters are their current incarnations>Mike and Lucy facing away from each other>Paulo and Daisy on opposite sides (Paisy sucks lmao)Well, at least she didn't COMPLETELY default back to volume 1 designs and dynamics.Also:>Liam, Larken, Carson, Kizuna nowhere to be seen>Which means McCAIN LIVES!>Molly's friend is rightfully terrified of the local sadistic retard>Yashi still deserves to be ground into paste, and Lily still deserves to be kicked into the sea
>>153528519>>Mike and Lucy facing away from each otherWatch the AMV video, it's basically confirming MikexLucy will win in the end
>>153528545At this point I'd actually praise Taeshi for having Mike mirror Lucy and commit suicide right after "reconciling" with bow cat, ending this whole mess on a massive downer and depriving the self-insert of her victory. It would also be monumentally retarded on Taeshi's part, given her priorities, and so all the better.
>>153528545>confirming MikexLucy will win in the end>Listening or trust >Tae>everlollmao even
>>153528655>>153528655>Mike mirror Lucy and commit suicideBeen over this, this would be good writing(easy to fuck up tho) and character development.
>>153528545The only thing it shows is Lucy running back to a depressed Mike who doesn't react at all, which we've known would happen since Taeshi did that one pic
>>153528545Anyone with a brain knows that's the case, the real story is that Taeshi will continue to fuck up the execution so badly that no one will want it, I sure as shit don't.
Haley will save Mike when he splats.
>>153528756And then Haley will swallow
>>153528801>>153528756
>>153528545Eh. It confirms that Lucy goes and hugs Mike while he's moping outside, but we've been through this song and dance before. The Mucy moment will happen (with strong overtones of abuse and gaslighting), Mike will go back to Sandy, Lucy will be sad about it. Remember, we still haven't gotten to Sandy visiting for Valentines.
>>153528801The OTHER splat, anon. The L*cy kind.
>>153528545I wouldn't call that a win for anyone. This AMV is much more fitting for their relationship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5QKrhOFrDU
>>153528957oh god what the fuck Im such a huge mountain goats fan. How am I only seeing this now.
>>153528702>>153528715>>153528814>the hug is treated like some big dramatic character arc climax and/or tragedy>basic observation shows it's just Lucy defaulting back to her usual BPD latch-on syndromeI'd wager that soulless Mike would agree to resume his post as Lucy's teddy bear-shaped punching bag, partly because it's the path of least resistance and would put things "back to normal." But mostly because it lets Taeshi drag the comic out further without addressing the obvious fundamental problems for another decade or so. On the other hand, Mike could turn Lucy down, citing the obvious, because that would cement the current status quo for just as long while demanding even less work.
>>153528099It's why i feel no real sympathy for him, he's been on this sunk cost fallacy for a while
>>153529022You're missing the obvious, anon. Lucy's going to hug onto Mike BEFORE Sandy visits. Then when Sandy does show up, Mike will cheer up, and it'll be Lucy's turn to be SAD.
>>153528920She'll come round to it
>>153527854>They're gonna play pretendDON'T DO IT MAN. YOU JUST NEED SOME EXTRA TIME TO WASH HER OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM. YOU'RE GONNA RELAPSE.
Not enough Molly lewds.
>>153529550She just injected him with a super dose of venom, and depending where things are going. Dude is gonna be a broken mess for ages no matter what.
>>153529555Remember to age up your Mollys like >>>/trash/82636783 or the internet police will come after you
>>153529642
>>153527124But which of us do you love the most, anon?
>>153527854On some level, you gotta admire the utter shamelessness Clover is showing in her pursuit of another roll in the hay with Devin. His parents, as well as her husband and baby and a score of other people only being a door away? The only fuck she gives is the one this buck is getting before the night's over.
>>153526863Finn x Darwin was NOT a ship I would expect to be seen hinted in canonBut that's a ship only for nonbelievers
>>153529810>you gotta admire the utter shamelessnessfuck no jfc holy fuck no, you have clearly never had to deal with something like this. You fucking hate yourself so much for putting up with this shit no fucking matter what you do/try deep down you cant fully let go and give up.
>>153529303Incorrect, good sir. Lucy only throws herself at Mike once Sandy appears to be out of the picture, as shown in Eternal Flame. This must therefore happen after another breakup, though possibly not the last.
>>153528281At the moment, if Felix and most of the other guys on the track team are pretty decent dudes who would gladly welcome and support Mike in his hour of need if he would but reach out to them. They even know that whatever went down between him and James is entirely the fault of James being a flighty faggot.
>>153529913with gays, you pay!
>>153527854I wanna ask the context of this but i've been told that stress is bad for my skin.
>>153529830You still don't realize what you're dealing with. A perfect organism. Her conversational charisma is matched only by her lasciviousness. I admire her purity. A seducer, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of loyalty.>>153529886You're not connecting the dots. Consider:>Things will be "looking up" for Mike by chapter 133>Lucy will be going through her own suffering arc from then until chapter 144 at least>When Lucy hugs onto Mike outside, he will still be super depressed>Sandy is coming to visit on valentines day>Taeshi LOVES the "Mike flips back to Sandy, jilting Lucy" plot point so much so that she's written it several times and into multiple AUsNow think. What is the most nothingburger sequence of events that hits everything we know is going to happen? What would most efficiently generate a brief burst of hype, then a lingering sense of confused disappointment, while painting Lucy as a victim of Mike's cheating heart?Lucy is going to see/hear that Mike is super depressed and regrets taking Sandy back, think it's her chance to swoop in, and then Sandy shows up and Lucy gets rugpulled.
Can someone explain to me the double Lucy on top right, under Alejandro missing color shirt? Is she a real character or just a [MAGICAL Girl! Neko Lucy Nya~] cameo from the scrapper old plot?
>>153530103I assume it's just a magical girl Lucy cameo, but considering the other literal whos there maybe she's an extra who showed up for like one panel or something.
>>153530067>A perfect organism>purity>charismaAnon I don't know how to tell you this.... but there is parasites living in your brain and controlling them. YOU NEED TO REMOVE THEM. Shes not a succubus nor a BPDdaemon she is something far far fucking worse. Srsly fuck women like this dunk gas on them and throw the match.
>>153530067>Now thinkI already did, anon. I pointed out that Lucy absolutely will not "trust" Mike again until Sandy is out of the picture, because she is convinced that Mike will always pick her instead. Nothing you wrote addresses that problem.
>>153530103That's Aqua, original magical girl LucyWonder what Taeshi meant by placing her right underneath Alejandro
>>153530241Enormous head is hilarious and destroys whatever dramatic effect might have been intended.
The Silvershore comic dub is up!Part I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTkMHcZ9khQPart II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7zBjDy16rg
>>153530191Listen to yourself, anon! Do you realize how crazy you sound? You're saying Lucy is in any way rational or consistent. You're saying that cheap redundant melodrama won't happen because it goes against previously established motives, continuity, and basic logic! That's not how this comic works. Taeshi WILL get the plot she's gunning for, no matter how hard she has to swerve. She's concussed Paulo into amnesia and broken Sue's limbs for less. She's given Mike psychic premonitions before because it was the only way to foreshadow the insane nonsense she was cooking.You best start believing in schlock, anon. You're reading it.
>>153530456>nuh uh she just willI don't really find that logic compelling.
>>153530241>>153530271HL1 looking headass
>>153530480>nuh uh she just won'tI don't envy you anon. When push comes to shove and it turns out dumber than even I'm predicting, at least I'll be laughing still, at the end.Here, have a picture of Mike's cute and wholesome future kitten named after a nazi, as a peace offering.
>>153526863Take me back to 2008 when I was still ignorant of the world...
>>153530550'kay
>>153530446Good to see you're still alive, Fannelman. I hope your search for better furry melodrama webcomics is fruitful?
>>153530446Congrats on finishing the project
>>153530103Yes, it's Aqua, also known as Lucy-chan from one of the universes before BCB.>cameo from the scrapper old plot?Aqua appears as a background character in a chapter of BCB (she survived the universe reset and now battles the supernatural and other bizarre events that occur around the city while trying to uncover the reality-warping event that happens in the city from time to time).
>>153530864>Yes Lucy is flirting with Paulo and she looks happy BUT SHES JUST ENTERTAINING HIM IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING Taeshi's hands draw PxL and her brain has to tie itself in knots to explain how it doesn't count
>>153530864>though it looks like she's entertaining himNo it doesn't.>Mike and Lucy's hands slowly drift toward each other, not touching.Does she hallucinate meaning into her work post hoc or is Taeshi just that bad at art?
>>153530864>Taeshi: Lucy lets Paulo cum inside her but she is merely entertaining himLucy's love for Mike must be inversely proportional to how much sexual attraction she has to any other male character
All I got from this is Mike bad.
>>153528281McCain
>>153531164It makes sense, Lucy loves being used as a living sex doll. She doesn't want a relationship or anything, just for a man to take her.
>>153530067I'm going to screenshot this post just so that in a year or two I can repost it and apologize for my arrogance in assume I had clocked how dumb it was going to be.
>>153531278M.I.A.
>>153528222>advocate for cheatingShe obviously has an NTR thing but you're making this one up.
>>153531278>>153531355Right now he is forced to observe the situation from a distance, as he would suffer backlash from Lucy's paradox if he gets within range of Lucyspace.
>>153531496wait what whats the second symbol above lucy?
>>153531596Mind sphere.
>>153527854They're gonna fuck. I still miss cute lovestruck bisexual rabbit simp.
>>153531665Nah something tells me page husband&mom are gonna come in
>>153530143Oh, IRL such total amorality is nothing but despicable. But in a fictional context there's something endearing about a character who's openly, utterly selfish. No appeals. No excuses. No remorse.
>>153531496QRD on who's what?
>>153531994Lucy is a mind mage marauder batshit insane mage that is able to alter reality just by being around them if you cant pass a will check you are stuck in her reality thankfully that area is small unless they are really powerful the 3 are imbued hunters(which honestly doesn't fit maybe for Paulo they get powers and hear voices from "angles" or writing on the wall they tend to go scitzo or become really violent/unstable they also fuck magic) I dont know mccain I thought it was tremere at first is it something from the technocratic union?? God we really need to make BCB WoD a thing like for real
>>153532109McCain is technocracy, specifically the NWO. Which fits with his whole "matrix" aesthetic and the fancanon of him being an agent of rationality working against the madness from the shadows.
>>153532109>I dont know mccain I thought it was tremere at first is it something from the technocratic union??That's the symbol for the NWO which would make him a magic spook.
>>153526863I like the placement of Augustus next to Jess, as he can do no wrong
>>153526863It's kind of amazing that the best ships in the comic are the totally unintentional ones that Taeshi's never touched.
>>153528111Women are whores, its biological
>>153528801HEY-O!
I've been "following" this comic for the last three yearsGive me a single reason to continue it after today
>>153532297see you next page
The Molly thirst is real.
>>153526863where is kizuna?
>>153530864So is this bullshit explanation from Taeshi her accidentally confirming Mucy to be the canon endgame as a way to deter any Pucy shipper. As though there are any of those still left.
>>153532518I have some mollies in the oven, just busy to finish em. But now that there's a lot of molly posts... I have to I guess
>>153527854what is this? Is this what the comic going to be from now on? I liked it more when it was the official characters doing random shit
>>153532553>where is kizuna?Lucyspace caught her. Thanks to her clumsy nature, along with her paranoia, she was the first to notice the bizarre events, and when she started to investigate, she was hit full force.
>>153532700Yes. Do it, Champ.
>>153531329That sounds like a reasonable prediction/concern/policy given this is BCB.>>153532606>accidentallyNo, this is her trying to sell an idea that her audience has vehemently despised since forever, right after giving them a Pentagon's worth of ammo against it.
>>153527854Alright anons, I binged through BH. I gotta say it's pretty good so far, still in its early stage however, but I'm a fan so far.And what the actual fuck is Clover playing at here? Does she still have feelings for Devin? Or some sick sense of retribution?
>>153532518
>>153527854Anons it has occured to me that Thea, the author of BH, is a fucking mod in the BCB discord, and is a notorious Mike hater and Sandy apologist.
>>153530067Oh my fucking god I will actually drop this fucking comic if this shit actually happened
>>153533092Don't lie anon. Thea, AKA Flakops, is an outspoken Mike fan.
>>153533074How did Tae get away with that one?
>>153531298This is why AlejandroxLucy is the only proper endgame
>>153533187Used to have a sense of humor.
>>153533092>>153533133flakops has a fetish for sad pathetic men so she might be
>>153534693I can keep watching this over and over
>>153533121Brace yourself anon, because it's coming.>>153534693Which of the cast do you think would make 9/11 jokes?>David, obviously>Lucy>AugustusWho else?
>>153532109>>153532151>>153532164Why not Virtual Adept? It sort of suits him, what with the whole matrix look and all
>>153533755>>153533133>>153533092>flakops has a fetish for sad pathetic menIt's different, she has a fetish for NTR, so that might be the reason why she 'likes' Mike/Sandy.
>>153532211The best things in this comic are often untouched and/or are fan headcanons
>>153535333Because the mage conventions are about bending reality because nothing is truly "real", while the technocracy is about enforcing reality, and only bends things in service of that goal. The latter fits McCain better, given his no-nonsense attitude and objective outlook.
>>153535515Could be, but if the 'reality' is just Lucyspace bending the minds of others, McCain escaping it isn't necessarily technocrat-inclined. He escaped the clutches of that distorted world, and he might want to guide the others towards true knowledge, to fight the real fight out there
>>153535361The sad, pathetic one is the cucker and not the cucked in BH.
>>153532721It's a comic the author did for a zine a few years ago, the regular comic is still a few years away from reaching the adult timeline.
Imagine a Mike x Daisy chapter written by our favorite Discord moderator, lol.
>>153535361Happy Valentines
>>153535903>Paisy truther>As though Paisy were a conspiracy theory and not a currently active, assumed endgame shipEven she knows it's going down like the Titanic.
>>153535903I don't like Sootcase, but one of these chapters she said he wrote ('To the Top') is actually kinda good in a way. It illustrates Sandy's daily life, and why she felt burnt out from it all, and how she envies Mike in a way.It felt important... or WOULD be, if this frigging comic had any care for consistency and proper character development, and Sandy didn't suddenly devolve into a turbo cunt out of nowhere.Sandy here legit cared for Mike. Why the hell did thing become the way they did man? It's like they decided to drop any idea of moral ambiguity and depth and made her the villain just for the heck of it.
>>153535903>dogshit chapter Rain Check had three cooks in the kitchen with Taeshi having final say>best part of Double Down was a transplanted Suitcase workBeing unable to outwrite her fool of a husband should humiliate Taeshi.
>>153536081Lucy cannot win against anyone who enjoys a degree of depth or nuance.
>>153536081Personally I'm still gunning for MikeXSandy, because Sandy's the only character in the dumb love triangle who I like.
>>153536316It should be SandyxFrancis, let those two be happy being outside this dogshit narrative
>>153536316It's just not gonna happen. Anything that is not MikexLucy is doomed to collapse and fail, and not in a delicate and discrete way, but in an abrupt, hammer-to-the-knees kind of way... at least now.For real, what caused this change in handling? Things before at least tried to leave an air of mystery, some room for doubt, but now Taeshi is making it clear that no other ship is possible: Sandy, Daisy, and even James were all cut super short rather abruptly.
>>153536081>>153536143This occasional display of competence only furthers my disdain for him, as it means he has the potential to do better, but squanders it to be what he is.
I've never read this, but I'm always glad to see webcomic stuff from 20 years ago still going. Ones that piss me off though are stuff like 8BT that can't ever get a book because of savage license issues.
>>153526863God just wait till we hit a 30 year anniversary
>>153538311Oh god don't don't say that anon, realistically how many years can be left of this. Granted its not even February and there is still 5 months left of high school. She cant really pull 1 year=1 month that would be completely insane. This has to end by 2030.
>>153538311How likely would it be if suit cheats on taeshi again before 2030?
>>153532211The Mike x Amaya one is honestly a favorite of mine solely due to all the fanart of them with their kid
>>153538426
>>153530067>Lucy is going to see/hear that Mike is super depressed and regrets taking Sandy back, think it's her chance to swoop in, and then Sandy shows up and Lucy gets rugpulled.This would literally be Eternal Flame 2.0 taeshi would have to be fucking braindead to pull that shit again. I think people would genuinely get fed up with it and call out vero for such a wtf moment.She wouldn't beat the "forgive and love your abusers" accusations at all. There'd be no hope for redemption for Mike as well, and half the fanbase would dip once they see their boy has been reduced to being such a cuck.
>>153527854Man is anyone part of flak0ps patreon, I really hate having to wait for 2 pages a week. When the comic is already completed this is brutal especially since I cant find how many pages this chapter is. 8 pages a month is fucking too much man.Also I really need to know what this cheating whore is going to do. Like is she going to unzip is pants, blow him super quickly as the door opens 10 seconds after cooming. And she spat out his coom into a cup to save goes into washroom later. Pulls out a 10cc+ needle and sucks up all the coom and injects into to her cervix. Like the truly god awful cheating whore she is. Also I wanna know if /ourboy/ is going to have a complete mental breakdown crying like crazy and is completely broken. Because I have a feeling cuckboy husband is going to say some shit to him along the lines of. Shes mine not yours anymore stop pretending to be so sad and pitiful to get her attention let go and leave her alone I dont even know why she insisted on coming here tonight so much. Even if she is such good friends with your mother still, this is just stupid. *rope tying intensifies*
AW HELLLLL NO!!! Why would she add that traitorous gay guy to the music video?? He wasn't even there in 99.9999999% of the comic's history
>>153538480>flak0psFuck you!
>>153538480I'm not subscribed anymore but I can tell you what happens. Roughly, because I can't remember the finer details:>Clover's hand starts to wander, she pushes up his shirt and notes how skinny he's gotten while he freaks out>I don't remember the exact dialogue, she's just handsy and starts to go south, he's like what about your husband and she's like oh they're talking about some boring stuff>I think he stops her for a second and she obliges but then she asks him what is it he wants (in general and what he wants her to do) and after a moment of hesitation he tells her she knows what he wants>You don't see anything but it's implied she just gives him a hand job, it cuts to her washing her hands in a bathroom sink looking dead inside, she looks at herself in the mirror and forces herself to put on a happy face>she goes back to Devin who's still on the couch looking frazzled>she tells him she's going to go back to the dinner now>he asks if she still loves him>she happily says "no", leaves, and it ends on Devin smirking to himself.
>>153538585I wonder what she looks like desu, most nordic women are rather pretty unless they are fat.And with what she posts online you know like stuff pic related. I want to know how big of a whore she is. Especially considering the fact she is a (((Swede))) I bet shes a hardcore coal burner that has cheated on everyone of her boyfriends. That has came home crying and all fucked up so many times. Because he moronic ass not only talked to Arabs/kneegrows, but she willingly "went on a date" with one. Only to get smacked around when no longer in public and gangraped by the most repulsive inbred looking mother fuckers imaginable. And her deranged brainwashed ass enjoyed every second of it, as well as cucking male Swedes for wtv fucking demented reason.
>>153538606Also in case anyone asks I didn't see anything suggesting that Devin is the real father of Clover's baby, but there's art (probably on Thea's twitter) of him railing her from the back asking if he can come inside her and she's looking bored all like "you may not" lol. So I guess he can get her pregnant.
>>153538606WEW >Do you still love me. Lol no my pussy just gets super wet manipulating men and making them suffer. But you in particular because we have known each other for so long and dated for years. Every time I cheat on my husband meeting up with some rando online. I think of you, I think of you and wish I recorded this stranger ravaging my body and cumming inside me. I love to imagine your face and what you would be thinking if I sent the video to you.When I kill myself and the other men at my final orgy. I will record everything I send you the video, this I will 100% do. My final words will be Now with my final sacrifices at this blood orgyTake me to hellBath my body in hellfire, place the soul of a daemon in meSo I will be reborn as a succubus like how I have prayed for since I was a child >WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU (•ᗣ•) WHY CANT I STOP THINKING AND SPEAKING TO YOU>WHY MUST YOU BE SO EVIL (っ˘̩˘̩)っBecause it J U S T feels so good (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) and natural making men suffer and squirmNow shut the fuck up and cum inside me again, I know the first time wont make me pregnant (¬‿¬)
So much offtopic garbage. It can't survive in its own thread?
>>153538739I don't think their dynamic is that fucked up lol. Clover strikes me as a dissatisfied housewife who thinks she's into "bad boys" which is why she keeps going back to Devin, but he's just your normal mentally unwell guy and he disappoints her each time.
>>153538773Yeah, I don't know why this flak0ps discussion can't have its own thread, it has little to do with BCB.
>>153538844Unfortunately, it's due to how close BH and BCB are. I heard that BH was inspired by BCB and that Thea is a mod in the BCB discord. Doesn't make it any less annoying though with how it just fucking sneaks in here
>>153538446Amaya didn't win the Mike bowl. Mike won the AMAYA bowl. What a fuckin catch whew
>>153538844>>153538879The guy who posts BH here probably should be making his own threads, yeah. But the one that's in the catalogue right now is shit and was clearly not made in good faith, so nobody's going to use it.
I miss Amy. Any talented anon able to shop Amy into the 20th anniversary video?
>>153538773I remember it was absolute hell during the Made Fresh chapter. Pages were so fucking boring and had nothing of substance, that we were all just circlejerking constantly. There were few notable moments like that one anon that had a sperg out over Lucy's dad providing for Augustus or some shit, which amused me greatly.
>>153538977>There were few notable moments like that one anon that had a sperg out over Lucy's dad providing for Augustus or some shit, which amused me greatly.All I said was that maybe Lucy's parents could chip in in some way for Augustus' college fund (IIRC I didn't even say it had to be money, it could've been something like a laptop or new clothes) and that guy just lost his mind.
>>153538773this has been the norm lately im afraid. lits was peak engagement all those months ago, but now weve had to subsist on ragebait and character assassinations
>>153538977To be fair, the whole free room and board under the family's own roof deal for Augustus was indeed retarded, and purely for the convenience of Lucy having a live-in Mike replacement.
>>153539107>To be fair, the whole free room and board under the family's own roof deal for Augustus was indeed retarded,Not to stir up old wank but when that conversation was taking place several anons spoke up about having or knowing someone who had very similar experiences to Augustus' where a family took in a kid with nowhere to go free of charge.
>>153538951Same man. Those brought some much needed life and light to the threads, since the comic environment itself is rather bleak.>>153538977>>153539107I dunno if this was referring to me, but I've complained and still do about Augustus. That mofo is a fake and a leech. I'm positively sure he only acts the way he does towards Lucy now because he doesn't want to lose his free room and board. He acted mostly nonchalantly towards Lucy before, even when he 'saved' her; he didn't look distressed or worried or anything, it was more like a 'ugh, gotta save this dumb cunt'. He only started to change his behavior once he got to live in her house.Augustus has always been scum, and I'll be forever pissed at the comic for painting him as some sort of hero.
>>153538844Because it barely gets any replies and its a webcomic related to the BCB fandom plus it only gets 2 updates a week. Also there is barely any off topic posts ITT. Its nice to keep the thread up reaching near the bump limit to the next update.I mean realistically having a webcomic general would be nice but they always fail. Tons of good webcomics that are hardly known, cant have a thread on /co/. Because no one looks 1/3 down the catalog.Fucking bitching about offtopic posts as if this is homestuck general srsly get real anon.>>153538919Its more than one person anon its a few Whenever I make a BCB thread I've been checking for BH updates because they come like an hour later and Ive only been doing this since the latest chapter. Because I dont care for the younger age of the comic. I wanna know about this murder and etc stuff they have talked about wanting to do, but instead are spending so much fucking time on the prequel part which is all cute&goofy. When they have clearly stated they want the comic to be about them as adults involving a friends murder,relationships and etc. Which is so fucking jarring because right now its a cute slice of life elementary school girls comic.While this latest chapter in the comic is about a cheating whore a stressed out deer whos sister was murder his retarded mother and the father that left them. BL gets like less than 30 posts on average in teh thread and it updates on monday&friday.
>>153539160I recall those conversations. In each one, there was prior knowledge of the individual to be helped and their sole advocate was not the family's recently suicidal daughter fresh off the boat after trying to kill herself over boy dependency issues. Because mirroring the Lucy situation would make those IRL decisions completely retarded.
>>153539204Augustus has been brainwashed into actually caring about Lucy despite her being more insufferable than ever. So it would be very funny if Taeshi retroactively sabotaged his motives down the line, blatantly contradicting her own writing (again), all because she can't figure out a way to bring Mike back into Lucy's life with Gus on guard duty.
>>153539223>Which is so fucking jarring because right now its a cute slice of life elementary school girls comic.Eh the first page of the comic is Faith (Fauna's mom) having a BPD-induced meltdown that Fauna walks in on and the the rest of the comic so far has been tonally consistent with that. Like there's clearly something up with Mary, Fauna enjoys manipulating her and treating her like a pet, Faith making Fauna wear the "skimpy" swimsuit for her pageant among other things. I do agree that it's frustrating that we're years away from the comic actually getting to the meat and potatoes though.>>153539224Yeah but BCB isn't just unrealistic when it comes to that, though. Lucy's family taking in Augustus while just trusting that there's nothing between them isn't any more unrealistic than Lucy surviving her jump relatively unscathed is.
>>153539278>Yeah but BCB isn't just unrealistic when it comes to that, thoughWhat is the intended point of this observation?
>>153539302I guess what I mean is that I think that Augustus getting free room and board is a weird straw to break the camel's back. It's weird to me how genuinely angry it makes some people.
>>153539107>the whole free room and board under the family's own roof deal for Augustus was indeed retarded>Upper middle class family whos bread winner is a fucking pro famous race car driver >Almost loses their daughter to suicide>The boy who saved her life>Grew up in an absolutely shitty life>Lucy tells her parents&family he is the one that saved her life>She also begs/asks for him to stay in the basement room>Telling her parents that he's really smart, but because his parents are poor whitetrash abusive parents>And that he keeps skipping school not really caring about his life or the future>She really wants him to stay here to finish up high school and get away from his shitty family >Not only did he save her life but he'll totally do anything to help around>One of their children is already in college giving a free room>The mother is ultra motherly and feels so bad for final fantasy kot after hearing his story>Thus she basically forces him to stay>OHHHH THIS IS SO UNREALISTIC AND STUPIDLike dude are you fucking retarded, this is rather common. Unofficial adoptions and all like not even with the rich. But when you see a teen/child is smart and will absolutely go somewhere in life. But there god awful family&housing will just force them down a shitty path. Giving them a room or them sharing a room plus feeding them. Its really not much of a burden its the just and moral thing to do as well.Like only some American boom sociopathic monster would be against this>le pull self up le bootstraps i worked part time as le teen and bought a brand new plymouth road runner a down payment towards a house and paid for college all with 15-20 hours of work a week you fucking parasidic leech you can do the same>When the comic takes place in fucking 2006-2009 the worst economic crash in decades
>>153538606>>153538721If it’s boring why does she keep doing it?
>>153539278yeah yeah teaching your daughter to be a whore dressing up for pedos and making sure she stays on a diet IE not eatingIs beyond abusive causes a shitload of issue with self image can cause anorexia and a bunch of other mental health issues. The mother is a terrible person, but she is also literally retarded soooo yeah its not really out of malice or wtv shes once again just literally retarded and has no idea that she is going to cause all sorts of problems for her daughter in the future. But you know lol shes dead by 20 so it doesnt matter.Then you have the single mother working hard at a shitty job trying to do everything she can for her daughter. Who as it turns out is a spawn of satan and a huge problem child taking up so much time and energy. Yeah the comic has a bunch of stuff going on in the background its not a completely cute harmless slice of life. But still her saying that its going to be about a murder and etc. Thats a complete whole 360 moonwalk in tone. Unless like we find out the reason why shes so messed up and psychotic the reason why its just her and mom. Is because he dad loved to molest her from the age of 3 and also loved to beat mom. Why praising his daughter as perfect and the mother as worthless scum. Teaching the daughter to be all satanic and evil that other women are worthless scum compared to her etc etc etc.If shes slowly starts changing the tone and making the webcomic more and more darker. Good on her, that means shes a good artist and writer she understands how to build plot and character development. UNLIKE A CERTAIN artist that thinks making everyone cry for the most retarded reasons is le deep
>>153539330The idea that one particular example of this comic's retardation cannot be bitched about at a time does not strike me as a compelling one.
>>153539264It would, but I doubt she will.She has her pet characters, and no harm can come to them, no matter hom much of a scrote they are (Augustus and David come to mind).
>>153538879That's no excuse. You don't see Steven universe discussions in Adventure Time threadsAnd why would mod discord connections be relevant in 4chan? Are normies here in these threads this whole time? Or is discord filled with as much pedos as here?
>>153539920>You don't see Steven universe discussions in Adventure Time threadsThis is a joke right what level of irony is this?
>>153538572In contrast, Augustus is conspicuously absent.
>>153539980Actually, you're right. Bleating diahreah has nothing to do with BCB
>>153538977A thread doesn't have to stay alive all the time. I know the "high quality posts" rules hadn't been enforced well if ever. But it's not worth having a bcb thread alive if it's just going to be unrelated shit. Just let it die then instead of this Simpsonsification
>>153538342>She cant really pull 1 year=1 monthPic related was the start of their junior school year, seemingly on August 10th, given the chapter ends with Mike wishing himself a happy birthday. It's currently late January or early February in comic. That's 10 years = 6 months, or a ratio of about 1:20.Furthermore, Taeshi has stated that she's abandoned the idea of the comic ending on junior prom. So even if she doesn't extend the planned ending any more than she already has, that's about 30 years at the 1:20 rate.
>>153538426It is super cute. The tabby pattern on grey is a nice design for the kid too, despite it still being weird and dumb that accessories are apparently hereditary in BCB.I wish Taeshi's designs for adult Mike was better though, she always draws him as just himself but 1.5 scale or with a shitty bowl haircut.
>>153538606Holy shit, it's LITERALLY that comic that Hamlet of Troy did.
>>153540153But I like yapping about mundane bullshit like what youtube videos Lucy would watch?
>>153526863That was a genuinely nice tribute. I only ever experience the comic thru here but it still tug my heartstrings despite the fact James is there for some reason
>>153540297It'll never fail to make me laugh that Lucy and Paulo's kid is literally Tails
>>153538480>Because I have a feeling cuckboy husband is going to say some shit to him along the lines of. Shes mine not yours anymore stop pretending to be so sad and pitiful to get her attention let go and leave her alone I dont even know why she insisted on coming here tonight so much. Even if she is such good friends with your mother still, this is just stupid. *rope tying intensifies*Perhaps he will have the opposite reaction kek
>>153540559Lucy seems like she's cringe enough to watch cringe compilations.
>>153540584>despite the fact James is there for some reasonAnd to make matters worse, he's now part of the About page, so we're not going to get rid of him anytime soon.
>>153541021In general, any loserish thing Taeshi would do IRL is what Lucy would do in-comic because it's not like her creator would seriously criticize her own hobbies. Bow cat probably spent most of her time away from Roseville sitting alone and playing Pokémon games on her DS. If Pokémon Go existed at the time, she'd obsess over that in particular.
>>153541091Dare I say? I wouldn't mind James so much if only he was properly called out on for his shitty tendencies.
>>153541091I liked him as a possible gay love interest, but what a fucking shallow traitor. Taeshi ruined him.
>>153541091Tumblr can no longer get mad about Madison porn
>>153540297I like how sassy PauloxSue's kitten is.Wtf did Taeshi name The Polly kitten so fuckin' adorable?!
>>153541111Lucy being autistically addicted to Pokémon in the same way as Taeshi is with Pokémon Go would be fun.
>>153541282>Lucy going out by herself, walking into random alleys "to catch pokemon"
>>153541091Why does she insist on this character so much? I doubt even 5% of the readers like him at this point.
>>153541723Since when has Taeshi ever bowed to reader opinion in a way other than trying to prove herself right?
>>153541855It's just that nobody cares about him (in a positive light, anyway), and she is not doing anything useful with the character, so why keep him around? Why elevate him?
>>153541091>we're not going to get rid of him anytime soonYeah but Yashy is also there and she stopped being relevant ages ago
>>153541723He won relevance the moment he betrayed Mike for the sake of uhh nothing i guess, so get used to him
>>153541881Well, I can think of a few reasons.>1. Taeshi has no idea what to do with James but he's part of the Big Table Shakeup (TM) and thus needs a place on the character page.>2. She has Big Plans (TM) for James but they're akin to the "explosive" double date that nobody in their right mind could possibly give a fuck about.>3. James will be used as a vector for David's so-called character development which ends up being a completely informed attribute with no practical consequences.>4. Worst Gay Cat's primary purpose will be to kiss Lucy's ass and pivot to inflicting additional Mike torture as those chances present themselves.
>>153541989Point 4 literally just describes David. Unless James becomes the new David mouth piece who's sole purpose is to be a ligthning rod for all of David's criticisms.
>>153540764thank you for reminding me that clover's husband is some sort of gay/bi
>>153540694I kind of hate him. Like yashi, he's annoying both as a character AND as a blatant ripoff.
>>153538606>he asks if she still loves him>she happily says "no", leaves, and it ends on Devin smirking to himself.
>>153539596Because she's a lustful woman who takes joy in not only cucking her successful, good-looking husband, but in doing such with the biggest sadsack she can find just so the knife will twist that much deeper.
>>153542392He's a cuck faggot and Mr deer cant stop thinking about knocking up his ex. What a horrid woman
I love the wholesome interaction Pinkkatlemonade wrote.
>>153542831amazed at the level of cuck fetishists, they really do come up with the most fucked up scenarios that would emotionally destroy a person and ruin relationships forever like they're ordering a pizza
>>153536081The especially annoying thing is there was a non-villianous way to distance Mike and Sandy. In "To the Top" she clealy hates being a model and allowing her mother to control her life and cherishes Mike as a lifeline to somewhere else.By whatever chapter it is when she visits him after the watercolor era (where tries to fuck him but cries) she's actually grown into the life her mother chose for her and now likes it and looks forward to taking it further. And there's a great visual symbolism that she's no longer wearing the bow that she wears in almost all scenes beforehand. In the mid Lucy-meltdown chapter where Mike visited her she wasn't wearing it because she was working, only to pull it out and put it on to "match" Mike with his scarf. But in that later chapter? It's just gone. She's moved on and doesn't need Mike as a mental "happy place" anymore. It'd work just fine if she frankly doesn't care as much about him even that makes her sad and she tries to force it to be fair to him. No not-gay hairdressed needed.Pic unrelated.
>>153541193>Wtf did Taeshi name The Polly kitten so fuckin' adorable?!Because it is the best and purest ship.
>>153543550Her husband's probably a closet case so it evens out
>>153541193I just think it's funny she's short, as if Molly being short (because loli) will make her kid short.
>>153543851The Mike torture ought to be maximized tho, and taeshi thinks cheating is one of the worst things you can do to somebody
>>153544028I think it’s more that Mike has to be OBVIOUSLY WRONG to CHOOSE SANDY over his TERRIBLE FRIENDS and PUT HER ON A PEDESTAL and them naturally growing apart doesn’t really point itself in that direction.
>>153544195If he was deluded into thinking his relationship is fine then sure, but it's clear he feels nothing for her anymore and it's just staying with sandy because she left Francis for him
>>153544195I think they can't grow apart naturally because Sandy = Goldie and Taeshi naturally demonizes the opposition. Ergo Sandy must be the devil who Mike must be punished for putting his faith in. It's not impossible that Taeshi also realizes, on some level, that she/her fursona cannot compete on a level playing field. Mike/Suitcase cannot simply lose interest in the other girl--the wedge driven between them must be insurmountable so that there are no regrets or what-ifs later on.
>>153544195>OBVIOUSLY WRONG to CHOOSE SANDY over his TERRIBLE FRIENDSLucy has hit Mike till he bled, and it's clear this was not a one-time thing. If BCB was beter written, this would be a horror story about how the MC can justify shit about his abuser due to having been worn down and shaped into this teddy bear.
I feel this is a major issue in the comci that it really glosses over Lucy was a violent Psycho with attention issues for no reason. Comic won't even say if she was born a bit mentally ill or what caused it, outside of the meta knowledge that the writer has some issues.
>>153544841The problem is that Taeshi in her heart believes there is nothing truly wrong with Lucy.
>>153545196That's right Anon, there is nothing wrong with Lucy
>>153545441You know, it would be kind of neat if Lucy's psychotic paranoia regarding her friends became a self-fulfilling prophesy once they found out and abandoned her in disgust. Even better, it would mirror how Mike's own distrust proved to be a prophesy of inevitable bullshit.
You guys ever look at old chapters and find pages that are basically making the same complaints about modern BCB as us?>Lucy is a weirdo for hanging out with Augustus instead of her actual friends>David just does whatever the fuck he feels like with no punishment>Lucy can't resist physically attacking her sources of comfort.
>>153541989Damn, those are all likely reasons, actually.Yeah, I do imagine he'll act as David's and Lucy's minion, moving forwards.
>>153543851Yeah man I agree. You see, that IS one of the most frustrating things on this comic.The potential is there, there were and (surprisingly) maybe still are opportunities to write an interesting and compelling story, but it is like they make a point in choosing the worst possible options to handle things every single time.No decent drama, no development/growth, no justice, no organicity or believability, no consistency, characters can just do whatever for whatever reason at any given point.I know it is her story and all, the author is free to do what they want etc., but come on man, you gotta take into consideration the character and world you've written so far, can't just change it on the spot, or it'll make the whole thing feel weak.
>>153546045Lucy being a maladjusted cunt is fine, as long as it's actually part of her character and not a non-sensical depiction of her being perfect when she's actually a maladjusted cunt.
>>153531496>>153532109So what's Sandy in this continuity? Every time Lucy has made the error of attempting to defeat Sandy, she's been effortlessly destroyed completely all without Sandy even remembering she exists.
>>153546345Her own paranoia manifested as a being, it's why she's a bitch now, it's why Mike returning to her despite everything let him escape Lucyspace at the cost of everything he held dear
>>153546246Holy fucking John Carpenter. That image is horrifying, holy shit.
>>153546594TOGETHER FOREVER
>>153546646 AND NEVER TO PART TOGETHER FOREVER WE TWO
>>153543851Paulo as garfield works. It's amusing.On the subject of Sandy, I maintain that she's the most interesting character in the comic, and the third most tragic (after Abbey and Molly). Unfortunately, she's stuck as the "other girl" to the author's SI, and is thus doomed.
Genuinely, when was the last goddamn time we've seen Mike and Lucy having such good chemistry that made us think "holy shit these two would be so cute together"? Cuz as it stands right now, they've spent longer hating each other than loving each other.
>>153526863Comic is as old as me and I read it in one afternoon and forgot about it
>>153544504I think it's pretty clear that Taeshi is incredibly sexist. According to her, girls are either ditzy WHORES or backstabbing bitches, and pushy assholes are the best type of guy because they're honest and real. All the male characters Taeshi writes who aren't pushy assholes are only pretending to be nice, and/or wimps who're stuck as the butt of the joke. All the girls Taeshi writes are vapid bimbos and/or scheming liars. BCB has the gender roles of virgin VS chad, katies VS stacies memes, but seemingly unironic.
>>153547607You could add another layer to this with Abbey. Hard to argue Daisy as a bitchy bimbo though, so it stops there.
>>153547673The chain goes:>Mike>Lucy>Paulo>Daisy>Augustus>Lucy>Mike>Daisy>Abbey
>>153541881Remember how Taeshi says she likes David/Lucy because David reminds her of proto-Mike? Proto-Mike was silly, stupid, and blonde. James' initial character got hollowed out to be replaced by the ghost of Taeshi's childhood OC, then she started shipping him with Lucy despite James being a fagosexual.
>>153547745And then Paulo again
>>153547431I've asked myself the same question. I legit don't know. It's been a decade of them just bickering with each other, it feels like.Matter of fact, for a comic that calls itself bittersweet, there's a very distinct lack of sweetness in it.The only sweetness it got recently was Paisy, but it doesn't taste very good at all.
>>153547802Abbey could fix Paulo, Daisy needs to fuck off and let her man follow his heart
>>153547950Abbey is for Sue or Jasmine!Comic has more than enough gay/bi characters as it is.
>>153541091It's also interesting that, if I'm not mistaken, this is the first time Haley has been part of the About page. That, along with her description, makes me wonder if we're nearing the divorce arc.>>153547431>Genuinely, when was the last goddamn time we've seen Mike and Lucy having such good chemistry that made us think "holy shit these two would be so cute together"?Between chapters 130 and 132, Taeshi hits Mike with the divorce arc; Lucy ends up finding out about the divorce from her mother, and in chapter 133, Lucy saves Mike from hurting himself or simply comforts him about the situation, even with their current circumstances.
>>153548770Haley is about to have another baby to care for
>>153547431Literally never. Even in the first 20 chapters, before Mike and Lucy started bitterly fighting, they were better as friends and rivals than as a 'ship. Lucy was clearly more smitten with Paulo, and Mike was sweeter with Daisy than he was with Lucy. Even the occasional blushing and protectiveness between Mike and Lucy came across super chaste, just childhood friends looking out for each other rather than any real romantic intent. And then when Sandy was introduced, the mutual romantic affection with Mike was immediately obvious as not being "just friends" (despite Mike being a dumbass about it for a few chapters), making it seem very clear that Mike and Lucy were only ever platonic friends.
>>153549284Valid interpretation, anon: it would have been interesting to see a bit more romantic tension between them before the fall, but, interestingly, Taeshi sees the complete opposite of that, and I, to a certain extent, also somewhat agree with the view that them being so casual with each other instead of being overly mushy is kind of cute.
The rest of the answer is for anyone interested.
>>153549912>>153549920It's true that being super casual, even right off the bat, can be cute and fun in a romance. But personally I can't buy a tsundere tomboy and a touchy-feely nice guy talking shit and shrugging stuff off if they secretly love each other; it just feels like friends hanging out. Especially when Mike and Lucy DO get shy, easily-flattered, and start acting like they want to impress someone, but only with other characters.There's only ONE romantic moment of Mucy that precedes them falling out in the comic, and that's the ending of confrontation - and even that is immediately defused by the next chapter, where Lucy is relaxed enough to talk shit, and Mike reacts with "Now I definitely don't want to kiss her!". Every other Mucy moment is either a flashback, or in the midst of a nervous breakdown. That's why I can only see Mucy happening if they lean into the toxicity and become a mutually-abusive oroboros of love-hate. I can enjoy a dark love story about two characters using each other as the means to their self-destruction, but I can't enjoy this "oh they could fix each other" bullshit.
