          In fact, his not having a drink (as I assume) is a better development of his character than the cartoonish “only nice when drunk”. Walkyverse Mike is the kind of jerk that will blithely inconvenience or harm himself if that’s what it takes to be nasty to others. This one seems to actually put some value on his own desires and comfort above being a jerk.

          That, or this is just part of an elaborately cruel plan that we’ll only see coming to fruition later this year.

          Except Mike’s plan isn’t to have sex with Ethan. Mike’s plan is to seduce Ethan and thus tear Ethan and Danny apart with jealousy. Sex might be part of that, but it works just as well without.

          And this right here? If this will make Danny jealous, mission accomplished.

    This really IS the book full of bad/sad romance choices. At least Ruth and Billie are bucking the trend for once and going out on a date as opposed to their usual lesbian suicide pact stuff.

    • BBCC

      January 17, 2018 at 12:07 am | #

      I’m a little worried about that date being because Ruth is insecure about Billie being in another dorm, and I’m worried she’ll try to ignore that, but it’s easily the LEAST bad decision being made romance wise right now and I’m much more confident in them figuring it out than Ethan right now.

        Honestly, same. I’m worried about how their date will go, but if they can survive everything else they’ve been through so far, I feel like they should be okay. The biggest downside for them is that Ruth’s grandpa has planted seeds of doubt and Ruth’s gotta overcome that, probably with help from Billie or at least reassurance.

        Ethan though…oh Ethan.

        Okay, I think I’m getting my terminology confuzzled again. I thought that while the individuals involved were bisexual, the relationship (and particularly the sexual/romantic aspects of it) was lesbian, because it was between women. Is that incorrect?

        • Doopyboop
          Doopyboop
          January 17, 2018 at 6:48 am | #

          I’d say it depends on what the individuals involved prefer, since they might feel that calling it ‘lesbian’ could erase their orientation identity if one or both are bi/pan instead of lesbian. I’ve seen people use terms like ‘mlm’ and ‘wlw’ to be more inclusive since they mean ‘men who love men/women who love women’. I guess it’s iffy since lesbian seems used nowadays to identify a person rather than a relationship.

          I kind of agree. It seems natural to me to use lesbian to describe a relationship between two women, even if one or both is bisexual. You’re describing the relationship, not the people in it. Some however claim that’s unacceptable and it should be referred to simply as a same-sex relationship.

          In this case though, as others explained, it is canonically a “sexy lesbian suicide pact”

        • Sam
          Sam

          Generally people prefer to use mlm or wlw or nblw or nblm or nblnb etc. instead because it can feel like erasure if the person saying it is themselves not bi/pan/poly but is saying so to a bi/pan/poly person or about a bi/pan/poly person, especially given the stereotypes that ‘bi/pan/poly people are really just GAY and internally homophobic or really just STRAIGHT and trying to seem more inclusive’.

          So like, generally you should stick with mlm or wlw or nblw or nblm or nblnb unless they themselves express a different preference.

          Being pansexual myself, I wouldn’t really appreciate being called a lesbian or being told I’m in a lesbian relationship if I was dating a woman because… I’m still pansexual, and that implies that I am gay, which feels inaccurate and like an attempt at erasure.

          However, Ruth and Billie’s themselves deemed it the ‘sexy lesbian suicide pact’, so they chose that, not someone else, and it is their choice what they call themselves. You just shouldn’t force it on someone else if they say it feels like erasure for you to call their relationship ‘straight’ or ‘gay’ or ‘lesbian’.

            Sam, apologies if this is an insensitive question. But would it be similarly erasing to just say relationship without any adjectives? It seems simpler NOt to label, and less pigeonholed. Thoughts?

              January 17, 2018 at 10:28 am | #

              You should probably be fine just calling it a relationship, but the adjectives can be useful in certain scenarios. Such as if you need to describe gender dynamics involved (for example, when discussing people impacted by lesbophobia, talking about wlw isn’t inappropriate) or when discussing sexuality you don’t know the specifics of (for instance, if you know Ruth is dating Billie but don’t know what her sexuality is exactly, you could describe her as a wlw if you ever had to).

          • thejeff

            January 17, 2018 at 10:39 am | #

            Do people really use things like “wlw” in actual real life conversation? I just don’t normally think in textspeak abbreviations, even when I’m writing.

            I do see the nb part would be weird, since that explicitly isn’t a gay or lesbian or straight relationship – even with the assumption that you’re describing the relationship not the people involved. It couldn’t usefully be described as a same-sex or opposite-sex relationship.

              Most people un-abbreviate them in real life, at least in my experience.

              And while there ARE non-binary people who describe themselves as gay or straight, it varies.

            I know how you feel about being called a lesbian when you aren’t one. After a bad split with a toxic friend, he went on to accuse me of “trying to be a lesbian” when I had NEVER identified myself as one and HE had been the one to suggest that I might have been a lesbian rather than pan as I identify now. Muddling the issue even more, my girlfriend at the time(we’ve split since, but remain good friends) has since come out as trans so…fuck him, lol.

              *and by him I don’t mean my ex, I mean the ex-friend that was accusing me of ‘trying to be a lesbian’. Which, to expand a bit more, he saw me as ‘faking’ my attraction to my s.o. at the time and being ‘not-real’ because we’re both kinda ace. So he was just a big ole bag of shitty opinions and assholery.

      Mikes Hot. He just is. You can hate him as a person and insist to yourself that his objectionable motivations and actions would be an ABSOLUTE TURN-OFF to you irl, but you’d be lying if you swing that way at all.

      Plus, if your anything like me, you probably find even those objectionable motivations and actions alluring on their own. I have a real thing for terrible people who are at least honest about being terrible. What can I say? They do it for me. ‘All Girls Want Bad Boys’ doesn’t just apply to girls.

            It’s shounen ai – boy love. It’s not quite yaoi. Yaoi is sex between two men (hard is explicit, soft is not). Kissing is still shounen ai. Definitely not shounen or shoujo.

              My understanding was that yaoi included romance, not just sex. And that the Shounen/Shoujo distinction was (at least originally) the intended audience – boys/girls. Yaoi being stories about gay males written for girls.

              Just keep in mind if you ever talk to a Japanese person, to them, “shounen ai” refers to pedophilic content with little boys.

            @thejeff: yeah, I wonder if they meant shoujo or possibly shounen ai. I know a few westerners still use that to mean basically”non-explicit yaoi”. (As I said below, it has a different meaning in Japanese.)

            And yes, “yaoi” at least used to refer to male/male romance/porn with a predominantly female audience. (For stuff aimed at men, I’ve seen expressions like Bara, Men’s Love, and GeiKomi…)

          PS These webcomics are slowly drawing me into anime.

            Bishounen describes a really beautiful male character. It’s essentially a pretty boy.

    I gotta say Willis’ art style really doesn’t lend itself to eroticism for me. That’s not to say it’s a bad style at all just that smut looks really weird with these character designs.

      I do generally agree. I buy into the Slipshine once a year or so for the character bits 🙂

      Sorry for the nitpick, but if memory serves (you’re talking about Becky, right? Did I forget another kiss with a girl ?) she didn’t kiss a girl, she was kissed by a girl. And she didn’t react too well because she’s straight, and it wasn’t the right kind of kisser for her.

    I’m still tentatively holding onto my bet that Mike’s whole ‘plan’ here, if it could really be called one, is just kinda rolling the dice on a gamble to potentially get Ethan and Danny together? With the caveat that this solely accomplished via some needlessly hurtful jackassery toward both of them.

    Which makes this strip almost pitiable in that here’s the part where Mike, I’m wildly guessing, realizes; shit, Ethan’s dumb ‘I’m-half-in-love-with-you’ face is stupidly attractive and endearing and maybe Mike kind of doesn’t hate this more than the idea of getting Ethan together with some other dude that would actually be fucking nice to him.

    Of course Mike is going to plow ahead and try it anyway because hates himself, so that’s just more reason down the line to twist Ethan up as much as he can emotionally down the line in the process and Danny too. And maybe that’ll show Ethan enough that he’ll finally wise up to Mike’s shit and call him out on it and completely loathe him like anybody sane would by now and cut Mike out of his life for his new friends, or whatever.

    And then Mike presumably would be free to…I dunno, go back to his room alone and fantasize about Amber stabbing him repeatedly to death or whatever the hell else lets him sleep at night with all that festering rage. Seriously. I do not think he’s kidding around when he baits people into exchanges that would skirt invitations to some kind of blowback or physical assault.

    I know it’s not a popular interpretation (and it is also 100% conjecture) to propose there’s anything more to Mike’s behavior than being a troll, but–while I think as inarguable it is his actions are AWFUL and inexcusable–I also don’t think he does this for shits and giggles or tries to shirk blame for it. There’s no enjoyment in this from Mike that I can discern at all even when he ‘succeeds,’ satisfaction or vindication at best, but all of this calculated hurt just reeks to me of spite. Not lulz, simple spite. Lashing out at the world for being a horrible and maddening place and the people around you for being incomprehensibly stupid for refusing to acknowledge this awfulness and even going along with it instead of trying any even obvious means of reducing their own suffering because who knows, maybe they’d rather just suffer and make you watch. That rage was my entire existence at one point that turned out to be a coping mechanism for undiagnosed ASD, and it’s a miracle I managed to fake humanity the way people expect you to act (to keep my job at the time) when all I wanted was to just go around spiting the people around me with the bluntness and viciousness that Mike does. Asperger doesn’t always look like Dina. Which, again, I am repeatedly not trying to say that anything Mike’s done so far is okay or excusable, but I do find plenty familiar and empathetic in him that is not nearly as similar to typical trolling as Mike believes he is.
