          it’s not a blunt, it’s a joint or a spliff. Blunts are wrapped in cigar/tobacco leaves. Her spliff is white which means she used wrapping papers or a cigarette.

              I saw one in rosewood and real ivory once, it was from the late 18th Century. It was very pretty wood work, but was too big and bulky. I still have my K+E in the real leath box. But no longer have the round one. Dunno where it went.

          I think it’s like the “Luke I am your father”- the literal words technically may not appear in any manga/anime, but so recognizable people understand it.

          (the main reason I don’t think it’s literal dialogue is because translators don’t usually mix together japanese and english the way fans do)

          The sentiment is soooooo common, though. It’s a major trope in anime for a character to be really aggressive towards a person, constantly denying they like them, while being super possessive and lovestruck.

          If you want to lose the rest of your day to TV Tropes -> https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere

          ((“Luke, I am your father” is not the literal quote- the actual quote is “No, I am your father”. However ‘Luke’ makes it recognizable so it’s one of the most well-known quotes despite not *actually* appearing in any dialogue))

            “Play it again, Sam” is another iconic misquote. Both actually work better as isolated lines than the real lines would.

            October 15, 2019 at 1:43 pm | #

            Actually, I probably would swear the line appears in Detective Conan between Aoko and Kaito, but I saw/read most of it as fansub (and mostly she would say Ba-kaito), but it could also be Shinichi to Ran or Heiji to Kazuha, which in and of itself makes it a trope.

            “the main reason I don’t think it’s literal dialogue is because translators don’t usually mix together japanese and english the way fans do”

            It may well have been found in a scanslation in the late 90s or early 00s, before commercial manga translation really took off. This is exactly the sort of phrasing you’d see all the time in those.

            As for the quote that everyone knows but which never actually appeared in the source, that’s a trope of its own: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeamMeUpScotty

        Most of whom tends to look at one specific strip for their “GOTCHA!” moments, then completely ignoring the ones that are immediately following it.

        They are also generally not taking into consideration a lot of the context that is necessary to understand her behaviour.

                  You seem to be missing the idea that both Malaya and Sal are sucky people.
                  If some (not me) have been giving Sal more leeway, it’s likely due to the fact that Sal has taken an active effort to be less sucky while Malaya has not taken any such effort.

              Depends about what.
              She’s definitely not adopting a cool pose for popularity, which is what Malaya’s generally accused her of.

        A couple things.

        First, Sal isn’t “faking” – her affect is the result of childhood trauma and her need to feel safe, not “trying to look cool”. So even if Sal deserves to be called a jerk sometimes, she doesn’t deserve to be called “fake”.

        Second, it has become pretty clear by this point that Malaya is projecting like a drive in movie theater in the early 1960s. This makes Malaya more interesting and complex, but doesn’t excuse her actions – in fact, it makes her actions seem worse since she’s clearly a massive hypocrite.

        Between those two, while I am starting to be more interested in Malaya, I am still highly amused to see her get some of her own medicine, and in a deserved fashion rather than the target projecting at her in turn. Carla sees through Malaya’s wall of BS to see the actual faker beneath.

        And I hope this helps Malaya grow as a character. I’d love to see her become someone I actually like.

        Finally, to be clear, I am not a Sal fan either. It’s just that I prefer to see Sal get called out for things she actually does rather than stuff she doesn’t do.

          Oh – one thing that occurred to me on my drive to work.

          While Malaya considers herself a “faker” because of whatever gender or body issues she has, I don’t find that part of her fake at all – that’s very true to many LGBT+ people’s experience. It certainly was to mine (I felt very weird and out of place until I realized that bisexuality was a thing that existed).

          However, Malaya also does this “first year psych student” thing where she thinks she can analyze a person after a few seconds and know them. I have met people like that IRL and they are super annoying and pompous – which Malaya is. Malaya thinks she sees through people, but she doesn’t.

          So when I say Malaya deserves to get called out as a faker, it’s because of THAT, not her actual issues, which are the most real thing about her.

          Okay, clarification done.

          That makes sense. But I feel like everyone assumes Malaya has no truama and the only reason they dislike her is that she is she doesn’t like Sal… And from the outside, without Sal’s background, I can see why she wouldn’t. I think Malaya was a bad guy in one of Willis’s previous comics and that’s why people hate her? But I don’t see her as having done anything wrong in this comic

            I don’t think any has implied they assume that Malaya has no trauma. The whole “projecting like a 50s drive in theater” thing suggests exactly the opposite – that Malaya does have an interesting backstory. Doesn’t mean people need to like her.

            As to what Sal’s background looks like from the outside – why does that matter to the audience? We know Sal’s backstory. We know for a fact that Malaya is full of crap. Why would that make Malaya more sympathetic?

            As far as Malaya’s actions in the comic? I just went back through her earliest tags and – yeah, Sal is mean to her in her very first comic with dialogue for no apparent reason. And Malaya seems like she’s trying then. So Sal started it, fair enough. But Malaya has dug her own grave, several times over, since then. If she was once justified, that justification has long since run out.

              While I’m kind of neutral on Malaya, given that we know very little about her other than the fact that she’s been recently revealed as projecting and completely unsure of herself, I get this opinion.

              Interesting backstory does not always absolve a character’s actions. Previous trauma is not license to be an unrepentent arse. A character and a person stand on their decisions and should be judged on them. What is more telling about Malaya than her relationship with Sal is that we don’t see anyone other than Marcie(? I think that’s the correct name) that she actually seems to get along with. We see her interact with several other characters, but rarely favorably. Ergo, my dislike of her is not based on Sal V. Malaya, which is just two people who don’t get along not getting along, but on watching the rest of her interactions.

              And now I read TheJeff’s comments.

            Malaya doesn’t like anybody – except Marcie and maybe recently Carla. With, for most of her appearances, little to no examination of why or any redeeming features. It looks like we’re getting a deeper look into Malaya, so I’d expect attitudes towards her to change.

            Also, on the previous comic point…
            Why don’t you go over to It’s Walky and look through my comments there?
            I HATE Walkyverse Sal. More than any other character in that series. Not just because she does awful things but because she gets away with it, all of it, and ends up crashing on Walky’s sofa when she should be in prison for war crimes.
            Compared to her, Walkyverse Malaya is just a self-centered jerk, and that I mostly just find dull.
            The Dumbverse versions of both characters are more nuanced and interesting.
            I still don’t like either of them, but more equally.

                They are defending themselves and explaining their views fully because you responded to a thread started by an individual stating you didn’t get it, had an opposite view, and everyone (not those people) reduced her to toe dad status or it was just because they liked Sal more when the individual you responded to doesn’t. Plenty of people would also agree with you, but you’re not going to find a long winded “Preach Sister” in a personal thread.

                In the not directly at Sal bad things shes done because she was Sal adjacent: Tried to use sex with another being against Sal (This person is Joe and she was upfront with the “we’re both hot just bone” but the motivation making it so she reduced Joe into a tool versus him being a tool is on his own was scummy. Still dislike Joe on his own.) Tried again when Sal actually stated she was into someone (even though she wasn’t, it was just to make the spite point). Got upset at someone for having more interest in a podcast than her body. Transferred rooms because she didn’t like someone’s personality. Poor care of pet (presumed because hidden in a dorm and free ranging in said dorm with tiny heat lamp).

                I’d also like to take the chance to say many in the comments claim their very first interactions were Sal starting the animosity between them. I could be wrong, but pretty sure the very first was when Sal and Malaya were together in a parking lot underaged drinking with Marcie and Carla. Sal was the leader who restrained but didn’t answer Amazigirls call to fight. Malaya got more aggressive with Amazigirl after Sal tried to get people to leave. Previous to that, she was complaining about the beer being provided to her. Taking that cue, I’m presuming Malaya was not only worse off screen in between point A and B but the fact Marcie ignored that escalation while holding Sal accountable for similar behaviors is grating as hell. Her being humanized doesn’t reduce her criticizing, minimizing, using behaviors. Heck, those very behaviors are what Carla WANTED from her.

It sucks to see my favorite character ducked on all the time for what I see as no reason. So there, whatever, you win. I’ll never out again. I’m out.

      Carla has, perhaps, noticed that Malaya isn’t really receptive to her usual puppydog behavior. And not even Sal-level “ugh go away” unreceptive, just genuinely does not seem to react at all.

      Another possibility is that Carla wasn’t expecting an encounter with Malaya–Carla usually seeks her out–and thus doesn’t have that kinda energy on hand.

      The third of course is that she’s simply too zen in general at the moment.

There is an itty bitty town there called Delphos. Sweet, wholesome, very Catholic. And in the 2000s, it was an epicenter for meth. Then about ten years later, the game switched to pretty swiftly to heroin. Why this place? Because it’s on the Ohio side of the line, not too far from Fort Wayne, not too far from I-75, and it’s rural as all hell. Now these country folk and country cops, they hear about explosive method labs and ODing high schoolers and war vets, they get scared, they get angry. They start comin’ down like a ton o’bricks on everybody, start putting money into surveillance planes to make sure nobody’s got patches of trees growin’ inside the cornfields. And you better believe that they have communication and support networks set up between the police forces to help out the poorer counties and to make sure that everybody gets with the program. The war on drugs is still being waged in the rust and corn belt, I assure you.

          On mobile for now, but here’s an incomplete list in no particular order:

          Dina – Anndi McAfee (Phoebe from Hey Arnold, but a bit more deliberate in her pronunciation.)
          Jacob – Earl Alexander (Louis from Left 4 Dead
          Harrison – Dulé Hill (Psych, The West Wing)
          Clint (Ruth’s grandfather) – Kelsey Grammer (Frasier, Sideshow Bob.)
          Toedad – Maurice LaMarche (Brain, half of Futurama)
          Howard – Doc Hammer doing his cracking Henchman 21 voice from The Venture Bros.
          Blaine – Corbin Bernsen (Psych, a bunch of movies)
          Galasso – Frank Welker (what hasn’t he done?!)
          Leslie – Ellen DeGeneres (I can’t not read her dialogue in Ellen’s voice.)
          Sydney Yus – Cree Summer (you know her when you hear her)

            Thank you for putting a name to the voice I’ve been giving Jacob in my head. It makes exactly as much sense as Shelby Rabara voicing Ruth. Which is to say, perfect sense.

              I never pictured Ruth’s voice quite as nasally as Shelby Rabara, though. Maybe closer to Grey DeLisle‘s natural speaking voice?

      We’ll have to see, probably tomorrow.

      However, Carla’s gender status is known to at least some. As Cerberus suggests above, Malaya may have some questions about her experience and when it was that she knew that this is what she wanted to do.

      Carla was the first person Malaya directly acknowledged not knowing who she was to when the stuff with Marcie blew up. (I’m discounting the looking down/can’t argue bit because I don’t think her pieces quite clicked in her own noggin’ yet).

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.
