i have the feeling we are about to get a talk. from Paulo's reactions/face i think he wants to ask her a ton of shit but doesn't know how to start.

it's like he doesn't fully believe she's back. whether them talking will lead to her opening up to him somewhat and they getting closer, or if it'll just create a gap between them, i dunno.

>>92663894
Zzzz

>>92664282
i mean, she had just tried to commit suicide due partly to Mike rejecting her and making her believe her friends would leave her, partly due to being forced to move when she thought things might turn around (Mike wanted to talk).

i can't imagine moving under those circumstances would be great, and then there's the fact that due to her personality she might have been mostly alone in the other school. there's also the question of why did she come back.

>>92664355
she was a fucking idiot thinking Paulo would EVER leave her and her titties

>>92663894
Alright. What the fuck? How tall is Lucy? She keeps changing height thoughout the whole page.
Also what the fuck is up with their body proportions? Did they amputate all of Lucy's abdomen after the surgery?

in one of the pages you see her mom talking to her brothers as she's coming down the stairs and she asks if she has no say in the matter. that was her mom deciding that she'd move, so that's why she left.
why she came back so soon, though is what remains to be seen.

>>92664805

this si part of what bothers me. i get it's because of how his relationship with him worked and how she felt for him, but damn, did she never really stop and look around, just to see that most people care as much as, if not more about her than they do about Mike?

>>92664805
Yeah but WHY did mom decide to move her?

It's the dialogue in those pages that made me think Lucy was being loony-binned for a bit.

That and "Dinner Time", which is why that comic should have been in the main series.

>>92663894
I feel like Paulo used to have more confidence.

So here's something that's been bothering me. Little unrelated to the new pic, but I wanna mention this.

Back in December, Mike blows up on Lucy and makes the claim that "I AM happy, it's just when you're around that I'm upset".

But in pic related, you can see Haley contradict that by saying that Mike is only happy when he's talking to Sandy.

So was he lying? Lying to himself? I can't see why Haley wouldn't tell the truth here. Lucy wasn't wrong in assuming that Sandy makes him happy.

So if Mike apparently needs Sandy to make things bearable, is it really that likely he will break up with her? Was he wrong for taking it out on Lucy?

Is LucyxHaley endgame?

>>92664899
He did. He's basically regressed into a little boy because easy to write I guess? All emotions must be massively overstated these days.

>>92664701
Maybe Paulo is subconsciously remembering he was right about only wanting Lucy because of the thrill of the chase. Everything he's ever shown actually enjoying about Lucy (sans boobs) has been gettin the chance to put a smile on her face, which is something that applies to Daisy as well. Plus Daisy is usually pretty nice and clearly cares about him whereas Lucy just seems very chill about his advances or interest.

>>92664964
>subconsciously remembering
nigga plz

>Lucy just seems very chill about his advances or interest.
This is true but Paulo has never noticed it.

>>92664915
>gf don't like Lucy
>Lucy bad
>tell Lucy off because upset gf
>gf happy again

>>92664941
Every thing is now dumbed down big time in the comic.
Aiming for the wallets of the lowest common denominator since putting effort and care into your work is now incredibly overrated.

>Daisy is usually pretty nice and clearly cares about him whereas Lucy just seems very chill about his advances or interest.

So same shit except Lucy just isn't open the floodgates holding back emotional responses unlike Daisy?

>>92664941
It's annoying to see him sperg out all the time when even a few chapters ago he had that oblivious confidence that makes him smooth with the ladies. Paulo is supposed to be an obnoxious goofball, not a nervous little bitch. It makes sense after she was gone so long he'd be a bit apprehensive, but it's way too exaggerated.

Asking for consistent characterization in Paulo is too much I guess.

MikexHaley is endgame.

>>92665015
He's still in "finally scoring" mode, give it maybe half the chapter and he's going to realize there's really nothing for him in a Lucy who insists she doesn't need comforting. She's basically apathy incarnate at the moment.

If she alienates him with some rant about how she's not some project and don't need no friends to help her, that would be amazing.

He doesn't really though.

>>92664110
It's a symptom of the chibi-style still being forced. Lucy is supposed to be the shortest of the group, so when put next to Paulo (who's a giant in comparison), either she has to scale down or Paulo has to scale up.

The styles change so constantly in this comic that I really hope this is just a passing phase, too. They're in their 3rd year of high school now, they should be hitting growth spurts, not shrinking.

Actions speak louder than words.

Also back when he tried to contact Lucy and deliver cake but cockblock brother stopped him, in fact all his general interactions around that item with her were more than "I'm gonna rail you".

There's generally a actual spark between those two, With Daisy it's honestly more "I can't believe you're not my sister" love, so unless he's suddenly into pseudo incest then this is a clearcut case of cringe writing to force a new ship to set sail.

Yeah, that page is always interesting on re-reads. Between this and Lucy actually getting a smile & chuckle out of Mike at the library, Lucy was given the false sense of hope that something else was bothering Mike.

Mike already admitted that he didn't mean everything he said so in the end it was probably just him venting his frustrations and not the full truth. It goes along with the "If I leave the table, everyone will join me" thing, too, when he knew well-enough how everyone sides with Lucy despite how she is.

Makes me wonder if there was something else going on there, though.

>>92665501
Has ANYONE been shown to have a deep conversation with a love interest in this shit show?

And in the "improved" version he looks like a sleepy toddler instead of a drunk miserable teen.

This panel was a good candidate for a re-draw but the actual results are not good.

>>92666054
Mike is 15, his body should be close to his adult height. In the second picture he fits the bed like a 10 year old. Also no matter how hard she tries the old and new styles really do not mesh. Even in the better edits something looks out of place.

>>92666096
You're right. Sorry I called you guys memers.

>>92665889
She is surprisingly playful about him even in the early chapters when he isn't flirting to get in her pants.

So unless that's suddenly conveniently forgotten too, then it's more a case of her being afraid to show any emotions like love after Mike rejected her.

But expecting something to make sense when there's easy drama to be had by scrapping previous development is Tae's core use of Paulo, so I wouldn't be surprised if she still tries to pull that stupid shit PxD off.

If you're saying he looks like a toddler all I can assume is that you're buttblasted it doesn't look like Dreamkeepers or some other furshit. That's clearly not the art direction of this comic, which is more kemono

Taeshit has chronically struggled with the artistic bare basics like perspective and proportions since day one. Going chibi was an excuse to ignore the latter instead of just practicing and actually getting better. She still can't keep the proportions consistant so that's even worse.

Easier to draw since far less effort has to be put into scaling the bodies correctly, and as such also less detailing of the bodies.

But it also completely fucks with the concept of having the characters' stature show their approximate age and maturity and also makes their body language wonky and hard to interpret.

Not to mention makes you look like a humongous weeb who never grew out of their teens.

TL;DR don't even think about doing it if you want to be competent, punch whoever suggests it unironically in the face so hard they'd be shitting out their teeth

Fat fucking chance, there's a bigger possibility that she'd drop chibi like it's hot and ex post facto delete any trace of it in existence.

But if that's not appealing then how about joining the IRC instead? surely they share your mindset.

But the bodies are still drawn with internally consistent anatomy. The furthest you could take your "lazy" argument is to say she doesn't have to know her body-to-head ratios anymore, but that's one single tiny part of anatomical drawing. If you'd ever studied cartooning you'd realize it's actually harder to do this shit without a lot of practice, because you have to understand the essence of figures instead of just imitating human references.

BCB is one of the few furry comics out there that really seems to aim high with its cartooning aspirations, at least after an inbetween period where everything was based on imitative human reference. It'd be nice if Taeshi had more principles of animation under her belt but the characters look great these days.

Uh oh, everyone. Someone's mad that the peasants are escaping the gulag. Can't have any negative opinions anywhere now, can we?

Here's a thought: Maybe if your autistic overlords weren't such fans of Best Korea-style goosestepping then their praise-slaves would see no reason to leave the IRC and vent elsewhere. This is the only worthwhile place they CAN bitch.

If you want none of that, just go to the IRC and jack off under threat of duress like all the other shills.

>>92667126
How can one person be so incredibly wrong about almost everything. Holy shit.

1) Cartooning RIGHT is harder without basic anatomical practice but Taeshi is content with eternal halfassery.

2) Yes she does need more basics under the belt.

Everything else you bothered typing is pure bullshit.

>>92667161
>This doesn't belong on 4chan
That's rich since it's insultingly obvious you've never set foot here in your life, shill.

>>92667279
Care to defend the assertion that the big heads are a "lazy" choice, or do you think the goalpost moving is compelling enough on its own?

Cartooning is hard. Her backgrounds are rushed. But that doesn't change the fact the criticism of the cartooning in the comic comes from an ill-informed place of no artistic knowledge or education beyond "duhh unrealistic proportions"

>>92667126
Too bad the huge heads also doesn't suit it at all since that gives it a lazzies feeling of a fully lighthearted 3 panel newspaper funnies comic.

So it's like a fish out of water in regards of fitting, which just makes it reek badly of teen weeb instead of cartooning, especially since many of the competent veterans who helped define it still mostly did their characters with atleast somewhat believable proportions.

That just means that even if she's beginning to master cartooning then her efforts are fully wasted on BCB and instead drags both it and herself down like she's got concrete shoes on and dumped in the deep end of a seedy Harbor.

But that's what happens when you do a stylechange so late into a comic especially after it has been "defined"

>>92667336

By focusing all the attention on the head, she started drawing the rest of the body less and less detailed. She completely abandoned the anatomy, and stopped givign a fuck about improving.
The characters are literally inflatable dolls now.

>>92667522
She started the damn thing when she was a teen, she's not some 60 year old newspaper cartoonist with reference material from 1982. It might please your desire for consistency, but it'd be offensive if she went the Megatokyo route and never challenged herself.

As I said, from an objective art critique perspective, it's better than ever. The designs have visual contrast, the proportions are solid and appealing. It's too bad you're stuck backpedalling.

>>92667597
Jesus, there's no end to this. Just look at the OP page. Clearly defined body language (Lucy's arms, Paulo's natural hand gestures), energetic posing (panels 2 and 3), solid character placement and panel composition. If you think this is "chibi" with undefined inflatable bodies you're not living in the same universe as this comic.

>>92663894
500 pages. 2 years. All but the main cast removed from the scene.
500 pages is what, 2 maybe 3 major arcs depending on how fast things move. If PauloxLucy ends here and the series goes towards MxL, i doubt it would be endgame, i just cant see Sandy going just like that with no drama regarding her background issues and a ship lasting so long.
Question then is if the PxL bridge is gonna be fully burned or if this will end with a reality check that leads into Paulo sorting his feelings and going back after Lucy later on.

>>92667486
Because it's apparently a fitting excuse of a style to stop giving a fuck about the bodies when it comes to scaling a characters size to another character or to objects or the background.

Which actually was a bit of a problem back when the art actually had effort and planning put into it, but now it's just gotten much worse.

And it would also help if the "toony" style fitted the story and plot, but since this is isn't a slapstick comedy anymore, even though that's seems to be returning too with the Lucy's return scene, but supposedly intended to be about serious teen drama, then it really doesn't fit unless her intention is to slowly make it a mix of carebears and Loony Tunes.

>>92667662
I saw this post passed around the thread after it happened. Do any of you credulous retards read it, or just assume it has something to say because it's long and references a French comic? I just read it again. It has no more detail to it than "actually the anatomy is bad", couched in the aggressive tone that tends to sway rubes.

I'd be surprised if the dude who wrote it has any formal education whatsoever. Maybe he can prove himself by trying to support any one of his assertions today?

>>92667821
The problem isn't her challenging herself by trying new shit out, it's that she's used styles in the past that sere both visually and stylistically more appealing than what we have now. Part of imptovement is challenging yourself, and part is understanding what you did right and improving it rather than just throwing it away for the sake of change.
She doesn't have a whole life of reference material, but she foes have years of content to look back to, so there's no excuse to present things below a level she reached previously

>>92663894
You know, if it wasn't for the fact that Taeshi and Bagman are proud of the fact that they've been together since they were 14, I would think at this point that the endgame of the comic is
>"What the fuck were you expecting? Of course they all break up and go their separate ways. High School and childhood friends are fucking irrelevant, because you can't plan what university you'll get enrolled into or where you can land a job in this day and age. And it's not like any of them have family businesses to take over, so no amount of nepotism is going to keep the crew together."
But since they ARE proud of their teenage romance lasting until today, I'm just clueless.

Hoo boy, here we go.


>The designs have visual contrast.
That's the point of outlining, your point?

>the proportions are solid
No, and it has already be clearly defined why it isn't.
Because she still lacks the basics of character sketching and proportioning when it's STILL varying from panel to panel, and it if wasn't for that, then the massive heads put a great amount of weight on the shoulders of her to compensate for it in other artistic ways.
Which she clearly doesn't because fancy Photohop effect background can only do so much, but when it's the bare basics that's fucked up then you can continue to slap make-up on it but it doesn't make it go away.
In fact it makes you look like a untalented wannabe who either can't or won't GIT GUD but who'd rather do mediocre crap because it's easy and you don't want to leave your comfort zone to genuinely improve..

>and appealing.

Then why on this green and blue earth is she doing the exact opposite?

She used to somewhat grasp anatomy and keeping things and characters sized correctly to each other.
In fact her biggest issue were background dimensioning and perspective, and drawing detailed "inorganic" things.

>>92668360

>>92668558
The lewds must flow.

>>92667986
But she clearly has. The strongest cartooning she did prior to 2-3 years ago was in the early stuff, where lines were loose and exciting. This new style harkens back to that while introducing shit you learn with education and experience, like ditching anime expression shortcuts in favor of real facial structure. It's the best of both worlds. Reaching back through the babbie's-first-art-improvement bow-legged human-with-cat-head anatomy to find her real cartooning spark is a bold move any serious art teacher would be commending.

>>92668108
I already have >>92667821 But I suppose I have to explain the tyranny of keeping Lucy's breasts on model in every panel forever like I'm John K's blog rambling about Family Guy and Bob Clampett to a bunch of know-nothings ten years ago?

Of course he's right. Jack may be a terrible web comic, but the creator is genuinely invested into his world and characters. You can NOT say the same for this pandering cash grab.

Paulo doesn't even have a character really(other than "womanizer"), he is what he needs to be for that moment of comedy or drama.

I wouldn't say Hopkins is a good artist or even draws good "toons", but he is consistent and its clear he has far more passion and understanding to what goes into a creation than Vero.

This is why you can get away with jack story times on /b/, because its just awfule and great enough to be addictive. You can both praise and fucking destroy it at the same time. Endless discussions to be had as a result as opposed to the stagnation here where everyone basically agrees on Vero as an artist and person.

>>92668660
>s-she gets some things right while being utterly deficient in so many others bur you can't talk about it because it m-means you're a filthy pleb!

No one is buying that a diehard Taeshi asslicker has any art education, so your attempts to shame are falling pretty flat.

>>92668660
Why are you still insisting on the 'cartooning' being a good fit for the comic when it has been proven it's both holding herself and the comic hostage from achieving serious artistical progress?

In fact she's thrown almost all she grasped well out of the window in the name of it and even then she doesn't even begin to show she masters it with her wild inconsistencies.

Especially since she used to do some pretty dang good faces ontop of the clearly appropriately aged bodies, and attention to small details of the characters being the cherry on top.

Also when she did cartooning it was a slapstick comic with "LOL ANIMU REFERENCE ^-^" back then, and as such there were a tangible excuse for it.

But now the worst of that time has been dragged back, not only the proportions, but the hardon for animeshit (Paulo's "I WUW DAISY scene complete with heart pointing out the obvious, and Lucy kicking him into the ceiling being the most prominent and recent)

So tell me once more it isn't just a easy excuse for going for broke on minimizing effort and care? Because if you believe the excuse of "I'm developing as a artist" then you've been had like that last fool to buy in to a Ponzi scheme.

Some of us actually like the new style. I hated it during the watercolour era but I find it aesthetically pleasing now. It's not all about you and what you want. Go ahead and say I have shit taste, I'm actually enjoying the comic and have for years.

I was like you, hated and complained in the watercolor days but I liked it better afterwards. But for about half a year, or maybe since kickstarter times, it's been getting worse.

I don't see why it'd hurt her feelings. There's this much complaining because we all actually care about this comic a lot and wish it would improve, because we've seen it be better and know it can. If we really hated it we just wouldn't read.

The quality of the thread is dictated by the quality of the content.

And since the content currently is the comic in its sorry "improved" state that when putting in incredible mildly leaves a lot to be desired, well then people are going to stoop to that level while criticizing.

So if you're looking for a meaningful discussion that adheres to your standards, then maybe going to the only place where people can vent and criticize it without a certain set of somebodies shutting the discussion down is indeed a very bad idea.

So long story short, blame those behind the comic for not providing places for discussion that suits your adult and mature tastes, or tell them their actions makes discussing it impossible on your favorite shitposting site.

I don't think anyone here wants it to look furry but the transition to short kemonolike proportions is awkward when so far they've been living in a humansized world with humansized objects.

>>92671775
It's been built up for that supposed "furry like" style for so long that the original 'qualities' and that style pretty much complements each other.

But then the huge heads and tiny bodies happened, shorty followed by the awful anime tropes making a dreaded resurgence.

So honestly, as bad as being kinda associated with furfags is, being viewed as a thunderweeb who has no remarkable artistic talent is much more worse, because then you'd be giving up on your artistic integrity.

>>92671733
it was good anon, that's what hurts the most. from the amateurish begining, all the way to the mid point and even some more beyond that it was good, it had some consistency, it had development and characters that changed with time. had it kept going down that route it would no doubt be great right now. unfortunately Tae decided rather than make the comic reach it's maximum potential even if it meant exerting herself more, it was better to just reduce the amount of work needed and reset things. i'm not sure if she thinks that makes it more "stable" or something, but it's still a huge waste.

even the artstyle change and big heads wouldn't bother me as much if the story and characters hadn't been dropped like they have.

>>92672074
/co/ hated BCB even when it was "good". I was here when Baggage tried to make threads promoting it like 5-6 years ago and was shot down continuously by the anons lurking here. The drama Taeshi had with several other webartists at the time was also brought up. Only recently had it gained any sort of traction here. This comic never has been or will be good enough for /co/.

that's hardly the comic's fault, it's just how 4chan as a whole is. had it been an online book, had it been some indie game, had it been some low-budget show, the responses from most bboards would probably have been similar because that's how this place fucking is and hatred and criticism are pretty much the only constants.
but amongst those who really followed and liked it from a long time, to those who binged it and kept going from there, i'm sure most who actually give or gave half a shit would agree with the previous post. the problem in this case is that the author, either on her own or through suitcase's meddling, couldn't see that and move accordingly. instead of exposing herself to the worst of the fanbase and learning to see through it, she preferred to close herself on a bubble of worshippers and ust stay there. it's one of the worst things an artist can do, as it in no way promotes growth and often stalls it.

>>92668360
Oh no it looks better

>>92672181
Back then it was because of both shilling and shitstorms that made people hate him, also that was a good chunk of time before it reached the artistic peak and was a couple of times called twokinds 2.0.

How funny it is to realize that guy actually improved and also continues to do so while this shit turned sour and stagnant.

gods no. chris-chan is hilarious yes but it's still the kind of fate you don't wish on people. when it's natural autism it's enjoying something that can't be helped, but directing someone to such lows is a bit much. reminder that it would be worse than Jessy Slaughtering someone and look at what that did.

i mean, for Tae, since she has shown she's at least capable of being good. suitcase on the other hand...

Today's the day. Today is the day everything we hold dear in these threads begin to break apart. All our values, all our virtues, it's all coming to shit now that... THEY have arrived.
The ones...
The ones that... are ok with the comic in its current state.
People like.. like.. THIS: >>92669728

I refuse to let these people terminate our carefully cultivated culture, our delicately crafted way of life. We need to deal with this early on and swiftly before it gets out of hand. Before these threads turn into a, and may Allah have mercy on me for even uttering it, a safespace and a place to worship shills!

I'd be inclined to think the lolcows are here already, I spent the past hour looking up Oliver's antics and there isn't much outside the bad webcomics wiki (figures) and the oatmeal, all in 2011. A lot of this other drama spoken of seems to be priveledged info. Everything here seems premeditated.

>Art
Doing my own comic, the art is fine, so long as it looks moderately ok and she doesn't skip on a day. It's acceptable.

If anything the whiners came after. There wasn't as much bitching in the earlier threads. Some of us who were here when they first started popping up were actually discussing the comic, but now that's been exhausted I suppose.

>>92674042
wouldn't be if we had some faster pacing, now would it? i mean, is there really any need for us to spend this many pages on the in-betweens when the main event is the carnival and it's where all important shit will happen before Daisy's birthday anyway?

You should've seen the old forum before he had it expunged from the internet because of archive.org suddenly honoring robots.txt.

You wouldn't resort to "blacklist" it with that unless you had something embarrassing to hide.

>>92674814
were the forums more active than the discord? i wasn't around at that time but if they were then dissenting opinions or not killing them was a mistake

>>92673313
The art looks shit compared to what it once did, that's people's beef.

Unless you like 'clean and safe'

So never skimp out or otherwise change it for the worse or you could experience the same.

And excluding what other have pointed out, I see heavy use of generic photoshop filters, especially that garish "old comic grain"

>>92674042
I was actively trying to avoid it after Assmad Australian went stasi on any outlet he had control over where people voiced their dislike over the hugeheads.

So you fuckboys roped me into my bitching game by dragging it onto here.

Thank yourself for that, hope you like it.

has Tae ever faced criticism before? did she have some Lucy episode or some shit that made suitcase so crazy about not allowing criticism to reach her?

God I cant wait for Paulo to realize that New Lucy doesn't need constant attention and validation and that she doesn't need him as an emotional crutch.

>>92675269
oh man yeah, she's faced it a lot. it normally ends with her blowing up in someone's face, or suitcase typing out a 5000 word long essay on why his wife is the pinnacle of human evolution and why you're living breathing garbage.

>>92675670
Given that she ended up having to take medications for mental disorders, I take she climbed the wrong peak

>>92668455
Nigga there is no way to make this comic NOT look furry unless she went off of making it be serious Garfield

I really want her to return to the volume 2 artstyle. It was the most expressive and fun to look at.

>>92676228
That is a hollow wish, my friend.

>>92676228
volumes 2 and 3 were the peak. it was better in pretty much every department compared to 4. i sincerely don't understand why throw it all away after 2 full volumes of that artstyle, which was coincidentaly also around the time the story was good and progressing.
guess we can only hope she'll ditch big head style like she did all others and goes for some final style that is the best yet, and that the story follows suit.

In an attempt to make this thread a bit more of an intellectual ground than an autistic sperg-out I present this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3tHo2rQ9Y4#t=6.530064
Anyone wanna start applying actual psychology into bcb?

Here's the deal, I can see this going two ways: 1) Lucy is socially abnormal, she doesn't fit in with the psychological model. Being the parasite that she is she SHOULD hide behind Mike whenever the idea of some kind of struggle or stressful situation occurs. Now we have seen that she acts this way when confronted with her actual fear of water but this should affect her entire personality. Instead of becoming a timid, anti-social child she's a malevolent, angry parasite. 2) Taeshi's a terrible writer and didn't take psychology into account when writing.

>>92677176
i take number 2.

if she were as the guy describes in the video then she'd be a lot more submissive to Mike and there's the fact that outside of water he doesn't really protect her from much (maybe back in "confrontation" but they were all at risk there).
Lucy's problem is an obcession with Mike, which has lead her to believe he's her only friend and the only persn she can ever trust or love. hell, maybe she doesn't even trully love the guy and merely forced herself to believe she does so her illusion of them being together didn't break. in a way she became so obcessed she legit came to believe they were some kind of "promised couple" and that even with Sandy in the picture there would still always be a place for her in mike's heart, that he'd never turn her down if she asked him.

That's why December had such a strong impact on her, because she was still in denial and then the truth of her actual relationship with him was thrown in her face, her illusion fully shattered all at once. it's also why she kept ignoring all her friends telling her they love and support her.

Hopefully, she has or will trully break out of that mindset and come to realise in the coming developments that there's really no reason for her to cling to Mike and that she does have friends and a life. although that's as wistful as Paulo's characterization and develpment staying constant so yeah.

>>92677176
I'm not very good at discussing things like this but I feel you deserve a reply.
I'd guess that we don't see Lucy hide behind Mike in part because, for much of the comic, he himself is the 'struggle or stressful situation', so she can't really hope to have him protect her. Additionally, while the guy in the video discusses people hiding behind authority figures, Lucy isn't really doing that. Mike, especially being the pushover that he is, has never really been an authority to Lucy. This affect is increased by how easy it is for Lucy to find somebody else to hang out with, even if in her mind all things tend to lead back to Mike. Mike only began to become an authority figure to her once he realized that she needed him, which gave him some leverage in their relationship. Of course, she hates him now, or at least wants to, so that leverage is gone.
I don't really have a good way to conclude this post but I guess I'd say that Lucy has dependency issues which are slightly different from the ones your video shows.

It looks like two people managed to reply to your post in the time it took me to make mine so I'm not really obligated to reply anymore, but I'm going to do it anyways.

>>92677570
not sure i would call it PTSD but Abbey did suffer trauma from his father's actions (much like Molly did) and his mother's state, which is why he developed his hatred of bullies, players and the like. couple that with severe emotional trauma and you get occasional fits of rage that unfortunately for him only make him get closer to those he despises.

>>92677684
you can always just reply to keep the thread alive for a while longer. we do have until friday for the next page to come out (and hopefully some actual progression) and iirc trash threads are only made on friday after the /co/ ones die.

So, considering that the 'Mike fucking snaps' arc is probably about to begin if it hasn't already, how would you anons like to see it go down? Should he become increasingly anxious and unstable like Lucy or get cynical and aggressive? I'd like to see him leave the table at some point but I'm not sure how it should go down.

>>92678081
I think that Mike would become anxious and aggressive. He'd be alternating between lashing out at everyone and desperately seeking someone to give him approval and reassurance.

Everyone begins to piss him off like Lucy used/still kinda does to and he slowly becomes more insular, only seeking the attention of Sandy, making it all the more satisfying when she finally dumps him like a sack of rocks.

>>92678081
Mike and Sandy will break up at some point, i'm pretty sure, so that might be his trigger. what i wanna know, is if he'll figure out that she most likely left him due to her oppressive environment/mother and work making her miserable, and if he'll be told by Lucy to go after her once they patched things up or at least got to talk.
Or Sandy could just be McCain'd right out of the story after said break up and then it could go in any direction, with the most likely being the loathsome MxL.

Good lord the shoehorned parallel to their teenaged online drama bullshit that they still have a record of and repeatedly view/morn for is so terribly obvious.

Mike not only has to break it off with Sandy, the breakup has to be as disastrous and painful as possible before crawling back to Lucy for 'Muh OTP'.

>>92679604
>Mike not only has to break it off with Sandy, the breakup has to be as disastrous and painful as possible before crawling back to Lucy for 'Muh OTP'.
The only OTP for Mike is Mike X His own hand as he masturbates himself to sleep thinking of how much of a prick he is.

>>92679604
well i dunno, because if the dream is a sort of premonition, then doesn't Sandy kill Lucy in it too? is that before or after she kills him?

>>92678081
Sandy breaks it off with Mike and he realizes she was using him as a pet project while he had set her up on a pedestal. He's been used twice and it'll probably never stop. Cue stealth despair mode as he pretends to be a-ok and the cracks start to show over time.
