“what, the back of my skull?”
He’s not using it for anything.
I’ll have you know this *was* a perfectly good keyboard.
“What, my brain?” was my assumption.
I KNEW THEY WAS GONNA FUCK. Amazi-Girl and Amber are both currently single. Walky is also currently single.
I mean, it’s no Walky/Billy, but I’ll take it.
I don’t think that’s it. Amber may be sort of considering it but Walky is still very much in love. It also wouldn’t actually solve his problem or make himself feel any less like garbage. If anything, it would make him feel worse as he would definitely view it as cheating on Dorothy.
I found myself playing with the idea that she hacks his grades or something like that, but this is ‘minors can’t drink’ Amber.
I get the feeling this is going to be anti-climatic and her suggestion is that she tutors him.
Make his skull go away? That doesn’t sound healthy.
Dangit, forgot the first rule of commenting here: always assume Ana will get there first.
How do you keep failing to get here first? Don’t you have a TARDIS?
Ana is actually Rassilon.
Have you seen her try to drive it? That thing has a mind of its own.
Worse than femurs.
“How is that physically possible?”
“That’s what he said.”
“HOW IS THIS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!!!”
That’s an awkward way to transition into sex talk…. hopefully.
Awkward, schawkward. So long as it gets there, right?
I thought this was a transition into Amazi-Girl getting a sidekick. Just got to think of a cool superhero name….
They aren’t mutually exclusive.
That’s exactly where my mind went. His super hero name will be Amazi-dukeofthingley
Everyone’ll call him Amaziduke, but he’ll take a Captain Jack Sparrow approach to emphasizing the full title.
This is the tale
Of the Duke of Thingley
Sidekick so brave
Hero so rare
A mythical journey
From the Roof of Garbage
Through the Hall of Read
Down the Hidden Stairs
The… Fresh Duke of Thingley?
nah, just amazidude.
Walky Performs a Super-Sex
“Hopefully”? Speak for yourself.
Both Walky and Amber are fragile right now. Las thing they need is more confusion in their lives. Lets say they do have sex. What happens if/when Amber figures out Walky is Sal’s brother? What happens to Amber and Danny’s friendship (something Amber probably needs) if he finds out the girl he is probably still attracted to is having sex with the same guy that his previous girlfriend was with?
Never mind the fact that the 2 of them are probably completely unsuited for each other for anything long term.
Who says sex has to include anything long-term or confusing?
“I’m stressed, you’re stressed, fancy a shag?” is a classic that never goes out of style.
….they live and study together.
the longterm is *built in*
but i think i hear what you’re trying to say
…
..plus he’s the genderbent version of Amber’s “subconscious proof” of being “evil” or whatever she’s afraid her father made/gave her. (stabbing Sal was the turning point of her being hypershy to snapping and acting like her abusive father, hence Sal as the object of “proof”) so THAT’s not gonna be confusing for anyone down the road………
….(on the other hand, that would be an interesting way for her to overcome her personality disorder, by ….”tackling” it in such a way. a bit like immunization? XD lower-dose exposure and manipulation of somatic response. XD XD XD)
so yaaaaaa GENERALLY you’re right on this, but with these characters there’s some built in drama already in play. =P
ahahaha okay i now have no preference for them doin it either way.
come on. Dorothy would get off to her man bangin her hero-crush. XD when they eventually make up, it’ll be a turn on. XD XD XD
Completely off topic, but, how did the job orientation thingy go?
Possible, but neither of them have shown any signs of being that casual about it. They’ve each only been with one person, while in a serious relationship. I suspect both have all sorts of assumptions about sex and relationships that wouldn’t just easily vanish, even if they agreed to a casual shag.
And given that, as whitt says, they live right on top of each other, there’s going to be some kind of longterm relationship here. Whether it’s romantic, friendly or hostile, there’s going to be something.
Besides, I like them as friends. They don’t have to jump into bed.
all it would take is one technically very big stab…
Amber: *produces a trepanning spike*
I feel like she’s either going to tutor him or kill him.
Or fuck him. It’s an intriguing sort of offer.
All three.
But in what order?
One of those is a crime. And depending on the order, another one is also a crime.
Fuck, Tutor, Kill?
Okay, I think I’m seeing where Amber’s relationship issues are coming from.
Better than Fuck, Tudor, Kill.
(… I don’t actually know what that game entails, but you might have to produce an heir for Henry VIII or something.)
That proved to be a pretty dangerous pursuit.
Only if you screwed around on Henry.
Nope, Jane Seymour died in childbirth. And we honestly don’t have a ton of evidence Anne Boleyn was actually guilty of anything she was accused of, he was looking for a way to get rid of her after she miscarried a son.
Better than Fuck Tudor, Kill. The difference of that comma could make things so much better or so, so much worse.
Now you definitely have to attempt to produce a male heir for Henry VIII.
Which wasn’t a particularly appealing prospect even before he was dead for hundreds of years.
At least now it would just be a difficult scientific project.
I’ve gotta wonder what would happen to the royal succession if people started producing new babies from long-dead monarchs. I guess the easiest way would be declaring them illegitimate (which I mean, true) and that anyway, the Tudors no longer have a dynastic claim?
Proooobably for the best for any countries with surviving monarchies that we don’t have the technology for this. Though the legal arguments would be kind of hilarious.
Faster, Tutor! Kill! Kill!
I feel like the comic is going to jump to some other characters tomorrow.
The cut back to Garbage Roof, and Meredith is now there alone. Just to be ominous.
“And that’s why 420 roof has bigger railings now!”
Sorry, that sounded more flippant and less horrible in my head.
The alt text says she’s a wizard; maybe, like Circe, she’ll turn him into a swine?
:cough:
;P
I’m thinking more hack the university computer system and change his grades.
Ooooh much neater than tutoring.
Dddoubt it. that’s kinda a big crime, bigger than drinking on campus, and she is a stickler for rules.
AG would have to kick Amber’s ass, and that relationship is already going down the “Fight Club” angle.
Amazi-Girl is a stickler for the rules.
And remember, Amazi-Girl fought, and Amazi-Girl lost.
She’s been trying to deliberately work against the Amazi-Girl persona.
Honestly, hacking the system is what I think she would most likely suggest.
=O hacker. oh gosh! that’ll be hilarious AND deepen Walky’s sense of guilt about not living up to standard
What’s this “either-or” business?
Walky: “Really? You can make this problem go away? How?”
Amber: *SHOVE*
Cut to an overhead view as Walky falls straight down off the roof spread-eagle, accompanied by the Wile E Coyote descending whistle and/or Goofy Holler, until he hits the ground in a cloud of dust
Walky, climbing out of an exactly-him-shaped impact crater: “NOT HELPING!”
oh good. i’m glad i’m not the only one who thought she sounded a bit like she was offering to off him.
This bodes poorly.
Sexy lesbian suicide pact?
Close enough.
I had a guidance counselor in high school that thought my roommate and I were in a sexy lesbian suicide pact. TBH I think she just shipped us but at least had the perceptive capabilities to notice that we were both severly depressed.
The birth of Amazi-boy? Wait, that didn’t work out that well the first time :/
No, Walky! You can’t become AmaziGirl’s sidekick.
Or he could be a masked crusader who does homework at night,
That position is meant for Dina.
Doesn’t she just cover the Archaeology papers?
Amber no, don’t make promises you can’t keep
She can keep them. She’s a wizard.
Amber produces Head Alien’s mindwipe device
Oh noooooo
weirdly enough, there *is* a spot on the back of my skull that hurts
*record-scratch skip*
Well to be fair…using sex for emotional comfort/stress release and sex on the roof are very much college things to do.
Livin’ the full college experience.
They paid the tuition, something better come of it.
My mind is going to offering to hack his math scores. Which is very much not an Amazigirl thing. But could maybe be an Amber thing.
This is exactly what I thought along with the chorus, “breaking the law, breaking the law”
Or maybe she’ll just offer to tutor him in math? It would help his grades, and give Amber something positive for once.
Uhhh…
This isn’t the beginning of some sorta suicide pact, or a “Strangers on a Train” type thing, is it?!
IS IT?!!!
Probably more like “Throw Momma From the Train.”
There are very few ways that this ends well and far more ways for this to end terribly. I want to be hopeful, but experience in life (and in this comic) has taught me better. I now only expect the worst from this situation, if it isn’t the worst then we’ll see how it goes I guess.
otoh, the sheer variety of predictions from the comment section is entertaining.
I have no idea what she has in mind, but I do know with absolute certainty that it is a very bad idea.
I mean, something pleasant COULD happen.
It won’t, but it COULD.
(I finally realized shamefully late I can use the return key when commenting on my phone! No more ugly blocks for me!)
This comment goes SO WELL with your Billie avatar.
Hmm. Intriguing.
Next comic: Amber hits Walky in the head with a bat
This was where my mind went, too.
My first thought was that she was gonna stab him in the back of the head. My brain disturbs me sometimes.
Next comic after that: Sarah realizes her bat is missing, goes on a search.
Amber tutoring Walky? Like a gender swap of Sal and Danny? Neat!
Don’t agree to anything Walky! She just wants to brush up on her icepick lobotomy skills.
Amber, don’t push Walky off garbage roof.
Tutoring was my first guess, too.
(second comment try)
Soooo is Amber going to teach Walky how to dissociate,
That’s where my mind went too. Can’t really see it though.
It worked for her.
Sort of.
First panel Walky should have the back of his hand at his forehead, like this:
https://giphy.com/gifs/sassy-model-5WXqTFTgO9a7e
Uh oh, is Walky gonna become AmaziGirl’s ward in crime fighting?
If he does I hope he used the Duke of Thingley as his superhero name.
Better than my suggestions of Butt-Taco Dude, the WalkMan, and the Caramelizer.
……Not sure I like where this could be heading…….
She’s a wizard.
SIDEKICK SIDEKICK SIDEKICK
Getting real bad Song of the Sea vibes. Walky, run!
……. what
Yeah, nobody knows what the hell she’s talking about.
But she’s a wizard.
… Maybe she’ll confront Linda in costume? Unlikely, but let’s just throw a new possibility out there.
Some people believe if you have a hole in your skull it makes you smarter, and they’re actually dumb enough to do it.
The More You Know™
But the hole in your skull lets you see Dust!
Sawbones tells me every episode not to drill a hole in my head, though!
There is no music ominous enough to play over that final line…
Amber! Murder is NOT the answer! Usually!
What an appropriate gravatar considering Meredith is probably still there. 420 Roof and all that jazz, yo
Okay so we all have no freaking idea what the hell she went with that last one. That’s okay that’s okay, Maybe it has something to do with why she’s visiting garbage roof this time around.
… why is she on garbage roof this time?
She’s a wizard.
… Wait. Just realized. We came in here off a flashback of Mike getting Amber’s grades changed for her.
Yeah the hacking thing sounds super likely right now. Both of you, noooooooo.
Oooh yeah that sounds like that could be it, which is a bad idea because it could have some really horrible repercussions if it backfires.
Would Amber go that far?
Good lord. AmaziGirl wouldn’t approve of that.
Or would she?
AG certainly wouldn’t, but Amber wants to ruin AG’s good reputation.
We also came in here off of modern Amber being jealous of Ethan, which makes the sex idea a little more likely.
She just came in here turned on by the idea of Ethan and Mike. Also she’s a wizard.
Amber gonna be using some mad hacker skillz….
I relate to the first panel extremely hard.
What the heck is Amber going to offer though.
To teach Walky to hide his fear and self-hate behind a mask.
Not that. She knows quite well that doesn’t remove the stab.
She suggests she can remove the stab for him but not for herself. So does she think his problem is solvable (by teaching?) and hers isn’t?
That would be very in-character for Amber: She assumes that she is a special case beyond redemption or help.
Pretty sure Meredith’s got a more effective tool for that…
I. Um. Is this? Is this happening/?
My first thought was “she’s gonna offer to hack the school’s computers and change Walky’s grades for him.”
I don’t think Amber has the free time to spend tutoring someone else, and Walky’s had trouble with tutoring in the past.
But Amber has this lawful code about her so I don’t know if she would do that, nor do I think Walky would do that either because I don’t think He’d able to look Dorothy in the eyes ever again if he cheated.
“What if I could make yours go away?”
All it would take is a little nudge… right off the roof
She’s gonna kill him.
Or maybe suggest a tutor, like Danny, who’s already helped Sal with that class, although Walky is a whole other mess. On a related note, has Amber made the connection that Walky and Sal are related?
Something tells me that Amber and Walky are about to do something that will have long-lasting repercussions.
I have a Star Wars line about this…
“I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.”?
Try spinning, Walky. It’s a good trick.
“I don’t like math. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.”
Sorry, guys, it was “I have a bad feeling about this.”
This sounds dangerous.
Or just fandom breaking. Are we ready for a Walky-Amber affair?
I meant more psychologically dangerous for Walky. Amber’s coping mechanisms aren’t exactly healthy.
Yep, that’s a fun experience, literally the only reason I ended up breaking out of that thought process (I still haven’t and still worry about it every day but to a much less degree) was because I started dating my girlfriend xD, my thoughts when from I’m fucking everything up to I need to not fuck everything up so get your ass straight….I still ended up dropping out of highschool but hey I’m getting my maturity and going to college so….small victories?
“Hear me out -do you have any latex allergies?”
Hunh. If this is going where I think it’s going, I gotta admit that’s one swerve I would not have called.
“Tell me Walky, did you ever hear the tragedy of The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis ‘The Wise’?”
The Dark Side can grant its’ wielder great powers, powers held by most as being… unnatural.
Funny, he was capable of saving others but himself.
Yes, Walky, take advice on coping mechanisms from the garbage roof buddy, because she clearly has her life together /sarcasm
meh, i’d rather get advice from someone who’s struggling than someone who has no idea what i’m experiencing
Does it involve pushing him from that roof ? I wouldn’t recommend that permanent solution
Walky becomes AMAZI-WALKY?
Walky’s eyes, especially panel three, are incredible.
Amber is Chromedome, here comes the Memnosurgery!
I don’t think that “My girlfriend dumped me” is a proper motivation for one to become a superhero. Even in the DOAverse which is chock full of convoluted logic.
I read this and immediately thought she meant pushing him off the roof, went “she wouldn’t do that,” but now I’m just like D: at “…well maybe she would and now I’m not so sure.”
D:
I hope Amber is suggesting helping him study and not become a vigilante. In that scenario he will become the Nite Owl II of her Rorschach. Option C is they have sex, but I think that is too soon and too toxic for their mental health at the moment.
None of those options would fix any of his problems.
Helping him learn to study would solve his grade problems. The other might give Dorothy a sufficient shock to make her think deeply about what is important to her.
you know 420 girl failed pot etiquette the other day…. You always politely offer a toke or two even if you know there gonna decline ,.. unless the kids changed it since the 90s/00s
Free tokes? In this economy?
It’s more likely than you think.
[free PC check]
Crazy thought: What if Amber means she can make use of Dorothy’s admiration for Amazi-Girl to convince her to get back together with Walky?
It’s time Amazi-Girl takes on her protege, Lazy-Boy! Together they will take bring crime to it’s knees using the power of their shared sense of inadequacies!
Wish i was getting what Walky’s getting
Fs?
pleasedontbeasucidepactpleasedontbeasuicidepactpleasedontbeasuicidepact.
Is Amber trying to rescue a citizen in distress?
I smell a ship! Walky/Amber for the WIN!
They are going to end up f@cking SOOOO vigorously, aren’t they?
you know what actually i think i’d like that
this hits so hard
