I assume it's being handwaved with the idea of healers and whatnot affecting it, but seeing someone who had a pretty damn serious addictions issue just deciding "oh hey nevermind all that" because his daughter showed up randomly one day is... really difficult for me to suspend my disbelief for and honestly kind of a disappointing portrayal.

Crest has never really been characterized as the kind of guy to have a random hookup. Even the women he's expressed interest in are women he's had deeper interest in - Maytag, Suspiria, the girl from the gang in Chapter 1, etc. So I don't really think it's out of the ordinary for him to not want to have sex with a woman who, unless there has been a significant amount of development outside of what has been shown, is someone he doesn't know very well.

I also agree with BulmaBriefs in that, while I can understand how an explanation could be a nice thing to give, he doesn't need one. He doesn't even need a reason beyond "I don't want to." It's not necessary that he be hung up on another woman.

So um, I get that you probably had a bad experience, but at the hospitals around where I work (I cover a large part of rural Oregon), the gown they put people in doesn't expose your butt. It actually closes at each shoulder and has snaps that can undo the gown from the shoulder for easy access to your body if necessary medically. I also was allowed undergarments aside from when I was being actually prepped for surgery.

This probably sounds sorta silly, and I know I don't really post here a ton anymore, but just wanted to say that even now years after I started reading this webcomic/forum (heck back when it was the other forum!) or even going back to when I just sort of lurked... that I still check here literally every day and as corny (and hopefully not weird...) as it is, knowing you guys are around even a little bit makes me smile. So happy thoughts to all of you because you all generally make my days brighter.

I have to agree with the 'overpowered' swords thing. While, yes, it's nice to see Bern win (although did anyone really think she wouldn't?) after involved scenes of rather sad dialogue, I just don't agree that it's satisfying. Bern hasn't done anything different. She hasn't changed. She's done the exact same thing she's done before. Her technique didn't change. Her attitude didn't change. She just blocked, hoped for the best, and the weapons defeated the enemies.

To be entirely fair, she's neither killed nor maimed anyone. She also accepted using the magic blades a long time ago when she originally began searching for its partner.

I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that Bern appears to have to go through basically no character growth so far. She just sort of gets handed magic weapons that will let her win the fight.

I'm reserving total judgement until I see how this plays out, but I think this particular arc has left a lot to be desired so far.

If your insult-flinging devolves into fighting that can only be solved with sexy, sexy makeouts.... I demand pictures and fully support this.

I'm not trying to be rude here, but coerced sex - which this obviously is - is still rape, and it kiiiiinda seems weird to me how many people are excited to see one of the main characters get raped =/

I bet she's also the 'other invisible person' who had been following them around.

Nice! I was just in London for work, but I'm back now :(

I pretty much only get to travel to Portland and Salem (OR) for work. I'm jealous.

I made a promise to myself about 2 years ago to really work on being honest with people about what I think or feel if they hurt me in some way because I was tired of people being shitty to me and just being like "oh that's okay I totally deserved it I'm sure." I mean I still probably ~think~ that a lot but I have been more up front (in the past year especially) about that sort of thing.

As for games uh, I mostly chill in civ5 or the sims because oh god I love the sims so much more than I should (although raaaaaage at Sims 4 so far).

Okay so... the conclusion of all this drama and blah shit.


I finally talked to him again, straight up told him that the reason it was so hurtful was because I had gotten close enough to him for it to be inappropriate considering he has a girlfriend. I flat out asked him if there was anything I needed to know or that he needed to tell me and he said no of course not. Then well... basically he... sorta freaked out on me. Ended up sending me 40+ text messages in one night saying how sorry he was and how he misses me, then called me 6 times between 12:30am and 2:45am (this being after I specifically and clearly asked him to leave me alone).

This is all complicated by the fact that he's active duty military and is getting deployed in a week. Which... he's actually used to guilt trip me, saying how he doesn't want to leave (and even at one point threw in a 'and possibly die') with us not being okay. I told him that him manipulating me wasn't really the way to get me to trust him and for us to be close.

I miss him like whoa but, I honestly think he's been a total asshole over all this and I'm not willing to put myself back in that situation.

So basically I agree with you, UIS. I think.

Oh man I'm like always on Skype. I keep it on even on my phone so that I don't die of boredom at work during meetings (apparently once you get promoted above lowest-level-peon the number of meetings you have to sit through just quadruples or something).

Oh Odd, you flatterer ;) But yes, I do notice things that can be corrupted :P

And ducky, please don't be a stranger :) (I'm not sure but I Think I might even have you added on skype if you use the same avatar as in here)

I do! And I have several of you on Skype I just, um, don't really remember who is who :<

Mini-rant time because hey sure why not. So a friend of mine who I definitely have feelings for (even though I shouldn't because he's had a girlfriend for 3 years that he's talked about marrying but ugh they are so not good for each other and we would be such a better couple T_T but I won't even go there)... Anyway so we text... a lot. Like, from the time he wakes up in the morning until the time we fall asleep at night. Well about 3 weeks ago he sends me a message saying he has to stop speaking to me because his girlfriend doesn't like him texting me, but to not worry because she's just being a "crazy bitch" and to "just sit tight" and that he'd be back to talking to me.

Well a week ago he just started talking to me again, expecting nothing to have changed. I explained to him that it really hurt my feelings, made me feel disposable, etc. And for the past... week... he just keeps telling me how sorry he is and how upset he is that things aren't exactly the same as they were before. That he thought we were closer than that and that we were close enough that him being an asshole one time wouldn't be the end of the world. So basically I feel shitty because he was an asshole and then I feel shitty because he's making me feel guilty. So.

grumpgrump

So anyway. I hope the rest of you are doing well.

I like how I totally posted in here then forgot that I posted in here and then was really surprised when I was reading new replies to this thread and saw a post by me.

I'm going to blame vodka.

Anyway, UIS (woo, lazy), read your rant in the sofa thread and am keeping you in my thoughts. I'm... going to go fade back into the background now.

I'm pretty sure this is just really really obvious "reverse psychology." Oh we'll tell her she's emotionally stunted and therefore a bad candidate and now she'll want to prove us wrong so she'll have the proper motivation to do this instead of just doing it for the money which wouldn't have been a strong enough motivation for her to be successful.

It sounds like her primary goal is the show and Bern. She intends to stop once she's reached that and not even bother trying, that sort of implies it's her priority.

I really hope we eventually get to a point in the story where it's not just "Maytag is the most amazingest person in the entire world ever and can out-talk any situation with any person in the whole wide world because she's so smart and cool and savvy and amazing".

So then, I take it you are predicting that Maytag will be in complete control of this situation, fail to be surprised at anything, and talk her way out of it?  Let's see if your prediction is right...

I'm actually actively hoping that it's not, but the previous 36 chapters aren't really giving me a lot of hope.

Sometimes I forget how awesome Maytag is.

Pages like this remind me just how unlikable I find Maytag.

Aahhh.  I haven't been to these forums in forever.  Things are basically ridiculous at work.  My boss got suspended.  Our department is being accused of fraud.  One of my coworkers gave a client benzotropine instead of benadryl.  And one of my coworkers admitted to bringing in HIS DOG'S pills to give to a client b/c he figured they were basically the same as what the client was taking.  So everything is a giant clusterfuck right now and I have had like zero free time while all this shit is going down :(
