            Given that he’s appeared definitely interested in Amber/Amazi-Girl, it’s safe to say he’s not gay. There are more than two specialities.

                If Danny can sit what midwesterners used to call “indian style” then he’s easily flexible enough. And length isn’t an issue – unless Ethan is sporting a “mini-gherkin” he’s plenty hung enough.

                Trust me, it isn’t that difficult.

                  Ethan’s dick is known as “bootybreaker”. It’s not about flexibility. It’s about Danny not being a horse cause that’s basically what we are talking about here.

                  First off, all previous comments (apart from one which says “one of them”, which doesn’t specify) are about Ethan penetrating Danny, not the other way around. Note Kiapdx’s comment about the positioning of Danny’s legs.

                  Secondly, even if you want to reverse it, that still doesn’t require turning around. Ethan would just need to sit up and move forward a little.

And who was the first to say it? (cackles triumphantly)

              She’s kind of psychotic because of the way everyone around her has acted throughout her life, and especially within these last few weeks. :/

              She is actually trying to sort out her problems though – and with Dorothy and Dina behind her, I’m sure she can, with time.

              She’s not a terrible person though – she is always trying to focus her skills and anger on assisting people, and she has been hiding herself away until recently to sort herself out when she noticed that yes, she was messed up.

        That’s Iron Man / Captain America slash fic she read? Her enjoyment of it turned it canon. Just you wait for the Unrated version of Avengers 2.

              Yeah, the “abusive fuck” part is present in any and all Blaine ships, though, hence why I’d put it as the biggest obstacle to shipping because I wouldn’t ship him with anyone but getting hit with a large moving vehicle. There are people who Mary could, theoretically, be paired with that could sort of work,* but it’s absolutely impossible to have a healthy relationship when part of the equation is Blaine O’Malley.

              But yeah, it’s a huge creepy age gap that amplifies the awful that would be involved.

              * I mean, I can’t NAME anyone, but it’s a big enough campus that it’s POSSIBLE.

        And it would be nice to see a poly relationship where two of the people in it aren’t sexually active with each other but they make it amorous aspects of it work and also share Danny nicely. 🙂 BTW, I really am impressed by real life poly relationships that make it work because that kind of communication takes work!

      A while ago, I don’t remember where, I asked Mr. Willis if a dude-on-dude Slipshine, and I politely requested that it be Ethan and Drew (from the Walkyverse), and not Ethan and Manny (also from the Walkyverse)–IMHO, Drew is hot and Manny is not. Mr. Willis said a dude-on-dude Slipshine was inderd forthcoming, but a pair that was yet to be revealed.

      I think we all can see where this is going . . .

              True ’nuff. I should point out I don’t really like straight as a label much either, but feel it’s ambiguous enough to my preferences that I’m ok with being identified as such. You’se can call me whatcha wants, I guess. I just probably won’t call myself such.

                It works for me.

                Although, admittedly, I do enjoy being able to say that I’m a high five on the Kinsey scale, because… come on… I’m a HIGH FIVE! I am a CONGRATULATORY GESTURE, PEOPLE!

                Funny enough, the term “pomosexual” (a shortening of “post medern sexuality”) was coined for people who do not wish to identify their sexuality.

      Nah. People think of sexuality as a strict line or spectrum, but really, it’s a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, sexy-wexy… Stuff. I have the occasional dude show up in a fantasy, but literally zero interest in them in the real world. Just a brain thing. Whatever works for you, man.

      Romantic and sexual attraction is separate. You can be romantically attracted to girls while being sexually attracted to girls and boys(and possibly all the other people). So, no, it’s not weird. S’all good, dude.

      For God’s sake, why does every vanilla or breeder assume that gay life is built around putting a stick into a hole at waist level? There are lots of other fun things to do besides ‘buttsecks’, involving hands or mouths or legs.

      You know, holding hands, meals taken together, and long romantic walks.

      And gentle, tender sex together, too.

          They intend to be joking, yes, but it’s not a very funny joke.

          Think about it — whenever a couple representing your sexuality comes up, the first thing people talk about is a form of sex that many of them find disgusting. That’s damned insulting — it reduces a complicated, painful, and, frankly, terrifying experience…oh, my God, I’m fantasizing about *him*…into something gross. When I refer to straights as ‘breeders,’ it does the same thing: it reduces you to a set of genitals.

          And it’s insulting.

                no it wasn’t
                by reducing straight people to their genitals, they meant that they were focusing solely on the reproductive capacity of straight people, disregarding the fact that there are plenty of straight trans people who don’t have that capability
                (not to mention all the infertile/sterile cis people)

                  It is gender-essentialist, and it is bigoted, and it is vile. It’s fucking offensive on so many levels.

                  I have a problem, though. I want to make the majority stop and think about what those ‘jokes’ truly are. I behave offensively in the hope of shocking people into rethinking those assumptions, and I’ve found that it’s often the only way to make them think.

              It’s very gender essentialist, and is often used in gay community spaces to insult and de-legitimize bisexuality/pansexuality. Plus it used to be used to refer to slave women, so it’s also got a pretty dang racist history going on.

                I confess that using the term is also an attempt to reclaim the word. Yup, I’m a breeder. I’m here, I have kids, get used to it.

        I think that term is “butt pirate” because they’re “after yer booty.” (Although the term has been used by mean-spirited schoolkids enough that it doesn’t see use in kind company very often.)

        A dingdong bandit likely steals a man’s dingdong virginty, instead. I’m… not entirely sure how one does that with a whiteboard. Maybe a whiteboard DRAWING of a dingdong bandit?

      Joyce and Ethan’s relationship was founded on Joyce thinking she could “cure” Ethan and using him to hide from her own sexuality. That entire relationship’s existence is so shitty that ending it will be a mercy kill.

      Danny, though, Danny’s point is valid.

      Yes, very. I mean, Ethan/Danny is super cute and all, but if something were to happen at right this moment there would be emotional fall out for lots of people. Amber especially. And also Joyce, but the whole Ethan and Joyce arrangement was doomed to terrible results from the start.

      Like, I am honestly worried for her reaction about Danny, but let’s think about differently.

      She was so broken because Ethan was hiding his homosexuality, repressing it and now “dating” a super duper Christian Joyce. Despite possibly losing Danny, she will witness what she wanted to see, since she supported him so much – Ethan accept himself and find some love.

      I am pretty sure Amber can handle it, if she finally sees that Ethan accepted himself to himself and found love, and the fact that she hasn’t talked to Danny for a while.

      So please, Ethan, do one thing for me?

      Come and get your love, come and get your love, come and get your love now!
      Come and get your love, come and get your love, come and get your love now!
      Come and get your love, come and get your love, come and get your love now!

      On one hand she might take it very poorly to have last another love interest which continues to involve the last one she lost.

      On the other, she might consider this to be primo spank bank material.

        Past sexual experience doesn’t really have much of a bearing on your orientation. Plenty of people who have had “straight” sex discover later that they’re gay or bi. It happens the other way around too. But, point taken.

          I meant more that, at least with the heavy petting, Danny seemed more than happy that it happened (he was practically skipping the next day). But your point still stands as well.

      I think it was established that he A) had sex with Dorothy pre-series and B) had that heavy petting with Amber/Amazi-Girl that was mainly stopped by the costume being difficult to remove, so I’m leaning towards bi or pan. Not that that’s a guarantee with either case, granted.

        Seriously. The last few days have been some of Danny’s most likable. Part of it might be the self-deprecation, but I think mostly it’s him being able to goof off and have someone who’s supportive of him rather than his parents and Joe. And it’ll help Ethan that they’re bonding, in part, over those geeky interests he wanted to be known for rather than just being “the gay guy”.

        This could be very, very good for them once they each find out the other’s into them. (Which, knowing the angst potential and current circumstances, could be a bit.)

It’s not that I wish Joyce unhappiness, but dating Ethan really couldn’t end any other way (other than Ethan never getting to be in an actual relationship with a dude & Joyce never getting to be in an actual relationship with a dude b/c they stay together forever… which doesn’t sound good to me).

        Eh, it’s a stupid acronym anyway. I’m not straight, but I’m not LGBTQ either. Or FABGLITTER, for that matter, and it’s ambiguous whether I’m QUILTBAG since there are multiple versions of that.

        This is why I take a stand against enumerations. There will never be an enumeration for this that isn’t exclusionary. Gender and Sexual Minorities is the only suitable name I’ve ever heard.

        We have Word of God that Ruth’s bi, but Billie’s the only person in either universe that she’s exhibited a definite attraction to.

        She had a relationship with a guy in the Walkyverse, but her reaction to their first time was bad enough that I don’t think it really counts. It’s pretty easy to read it as Ruth not being as into guys as she assumed she should be, though I think the actual explanation is more Young Willis’s fucked-up notions about sexuality.

        So from the evidence, it’s not hard to assume that she’s only into girls. Or maybe only into Billie.

          Nah, Ruth’s reaction was just Willis’ issues about sexuality at the time. She had pre-marital hanky panky for fun! She must angst and be punished! Besides she was with a guy who was completely self absorbed and was likely justa bad lay.

    You know, when I saw yesterday’s strip, I thought this was silly ship-teasing, like what happens with Joyce/Dorothy. I didn’t think anything would come of it. “He loves trolling the shippers,” I thought. Turns out he was trolling me as well.

    P.S. Willis, if you’re going to make any other teased ships canon, please give us Joyce/Dorothy, pleeeeeeaaaasssse? 🙂
    P.P.S. So conflicted now. I love Danny/Amber, but Ethan/Danny is so cute, and it’d be great for Ethan to have a healthy relationship. Arrrrrgh. Poly triad, maybe?

      I will be upfront that I’m probably woefully ignorant on polyamory, but the first thought I have whenever someone brings that up is that wouldn’t it kinda suck for Ethan and Amber? Danny’s attracted to both of them, but Amber’s attraction to Ethan couldn’t be reciprocated. I’m not saying there’s no way it would work, but Amber and Ethan’s history seems like a bad start to things.

      I’m always rooting for the poly triad in fiction, and I have to say this is a configuration that would make me happy if I were Amber. In a few of the longer-term, stable poly relationships I know (several of which have been going on for 20+ years), if two of the partners are not sexually involved they are best friends. Ethan is gay, but he still mentions having… what I’d call “non-sexual partner” feelings for Amber. I’ve had these kinds of feelings for several people I wasn’t attracted to – the desire to just live in an apartment and sit next to them on the couch during movies for the rest of my life, while also being married to someone else I did share attraction with.

      This is Willis and it’s also the first year of college, so it’s not like a stable triad that ends in a multi-partner marriage would make sense. But if this were a story that covered multiple years, a relationship like that does not seem unlikely at all, especially since Ethan has pre-existing non-sexual-but-partnerish feelings for Amber, and Amber has shown that she’s strongly attracted to guys who don’t fit gender norms.

      I’m a lot like Amber. In fact, literally every guy I’ve ever been seriously attracted to has either been LGBTQ or had mannerisms that made lots of people assume they were (and often they were relentlessly bullied because of it). The first person I ever had a crush on was also the first out bi guy I ever met, so my default position on relationships was “if flexibility would make them happy, then it’s no problem for me.” I’m glad Willis has taken the time to point out that one of Danny’s fundamental personality traits is being respectful towards relationships he’s in even if he’s not entirely sure of his status, because that really increases the chances of this ending well, and helps counteract some harmful stereotypes about bisexuality.

      So yeah, as someone who BASICALLY WAS DoA Amber in terms of my sexuality, (including being attracted to guys who needed rescuing), I don’t think this automatically ruins things. I don’t think it even increases the likelihood that Danny and Amber won’t work out.

      It’s funny. For years, I’ve used “I’m rooting for the polyamorous triad” as a self-deprecating joke, meant to reference the fact that my tastes are so far outside the mainstream that I’m not often involved in typical ‘shipping wars.’ But now here’s DoA, constructing a highly shippable triad with canon potential.

      See, that’s the other thing. I was shipping Danny and Amber/Amazi-Girl before, but I had my worries. Danny needs someone who will challenge him, but he also needs someone who will give him affirmations that prevent him from falling into a spiral of self-hatred when he inevitably Dans something up.

      See, everyone’s posting more explicit references to sexy stuff, but this was the comic that made me experience human emotions:

    The irony is that they are perfect for each other. Dan dans up situations and Ethan ethans up situations.

    If anybody in the cast besides Ethan was secretly gay(or is it bi?), it would be Danny.

    Its like when my brother told me he was gay, the signs are there, but sometimes you need a little hint to make it all fall into place, and then you think, “It all makes sense now.”

    Why did the blush lines change from vertical in panels 1-2, to horizontal in panel 3 and the daydream? On both characters.

    Also, mandatory ‘oh my god fuck yeah bisexual Danny’ comment here. Fantastic revelation.

    Then I remembered both have girlfriends. And Ethan is part of why Danny is dating Amazi-Girl and not Amber. (Amber has clearly states she has compartmentalized her mind into seperate parts, so the two are in fact, seperate identities, and Amber has what I would say is likely trauma-inspired PTSD and DID).

    Just because Danny’s discovered he has the hots for Amber’s Ex doesn’t mean he’s going to dump her for him.

      Why? They’re not exactly a stable, healthy couple. Amber needs to sort herself out, latching onto anyone, especially someone as acomidating as Danny is bad for her.

    Wait… You said that everyone’s sexuality in the Dumbiverse is the same as the Walkyverse.

    Walkyverse Danny is bi?!

    I can’t remember a SINGLE hint at that throughout the R/IW/J&W/SP archives!

    Holy shit!

      I guess so, Willis did say that Walkyversy Danny is retroactively bi too. Which is kind of neat, since both he and Billie who he ended up with started out being written as straight but were eventually retconned to be bi (although I guess it isn’t exactly retconning if it was never outright stated that they were straight).

        It’s like with Gail Simone and Catman, she always felt he was bi but never expressed it while writing him, so it doesn’t show up in canon.

      Maybe because he’s speant his entire adult life in a monogamous relationship with Billie? And he shifted out of the spotlight and into just making occasional cameos shortly after they hooked up for good?

    Oh, you shippers. Will you never learn?

    This is THE WILLIS we’re talking about here. You won’t get any consummation. MAYBE you’ll get a kiss, like Billie & Ruth got, but then it will all go downhill.

    MARK MY WORDS! DOWNHILL, I TELL YOU!

    And so what can go wrong with this picture? think its already been listed.

    Ethan came out to Amber in their bed in the motel on prom night…confessed he could not do it. That’s a bit of a shock to anyone in that position. And Danny threw her to the curb when she was at her lowest point.
    At a later date they realize they really shouldn’t have shit on her that way.

    So, I don’t think Amber needs either of them. She has a good friend in Dorothy now, admirers who actualy applaud her, and she is standing on her own two feet. I think she may be upset if she stumbles over these two doin’ the hokey pokey in the grass…but don’t think it will kill her.

    Her bastard father is a different story on he other hand.

    And yeah, these two need each other. Ethan needs acceptance, and Danny needs a friend that doesn’t use him as a showcase to show off his own perfect self.

    Good luck Danny and Ethan. You’ll need it.

      I think while she does have the admirers, she really needs significantly more than that considering the trauma she went through the previous weekend. Hell, the trauma she’s had for years, what with Sal. Especially considering this whole thing started in large part over their mutual concern for Amber’s mental health.

      It’s not going to kill her, not alone, but it’s probably going to isolate her from two of the only people who could and want to help, and THAT could start another major spiral. Unless maybe Dina’s able to step up and provide some serious emotional support, which is possible but not all that likely. She’s still getting the hang of it herself.

        I dunno if I’d call Dorothy a “good friend”. Amber gave an interview as Amazi-Girl, and Dorothy knows that her neighbor is Amazi-Girl, but that’s pretty much it. It’s not like they’ve hung out or anything, at least that we’ve seen.

    ‘Cause there’s something about him.

    He don’t know why.
    But he’s dying to try.
    He’s got to KISS THE BOY!

    Come on don’t be shy!
    Go on an kiss the boy!

    Woah woah!

    I feel like this is kinda Willis writing slash fiction about parts of his own psyche. If Walky gets in on this it will be a full on “protagonist” orgy. (As much as you can them protags anyway) At the same time this is totally hot in that I was not expecting them both to be into it kind of way. I don’t even remember these two interacting in the other universe which makes it even hotter somehow.

      you know, just because someone writes a character doesn’t make them part of the writer’s psyche. These two should be considered as people when talking about the story, not two parts of an evil whole.
