                I have performance anxiety.

                Anyway. Uh… Becky. This is the uncompromising optimism I love. Even when a touch bitterness slips in about only ALMOST having a home and the kind of possessions that are taken for granted by her peers, she is just so dang proud of herself and her accomplishments.

                You go, Becky.

          It’s the “from what we have seen” part that I’m commenting on. We’ve seen her in a grand total of eight strips comprising two scenes, in the first of which she was clearly already in an irritated mood. (Like anyone here hasn’t been.)

          And maybe she is a total jerk, I’m not saying she’s not. I’m just saying that the evidence for dumping all over her does not yet seem to be in, as far as I can see.

            So when’s the evidence in? She’s ranged from jerk to downright asshole in every one of her appearances. Actions speak louder than intentions (not that any intention could justify her behavior in those 8 strips), and her actions and words say “jerkass” loud and clear.

                That said, as much as I dislike Anna, I’m not really enjoying the comments complaining about her showing up, either. I don’t *disagree*, it just .. really doesn’t add anything to the discussion.

                Thank you. I’ve reached that point where I’m mostly over it, I don’t go looking for reminders anymore, and most of the time I don’t think about anymore, but when Anna was introduced I was still living in Colorado, so people cheering Anna on was the biggest slap in my face this comment section has ever produced.

            The way story-telling tends to work is that the author will show us what’s important and leave out what’s not. The fact that Anna hasn’t been nice a single time in her eight strips is pretty clear evidence that Willis intends for her to be portrayed as a jerk. (Obviously Willis’ word outweighs mine on this, if he wants to correct me.)

            It’s possible that she might eventually change, get some character development. But relationships that start with a person needing to change are… not usually very healthy. So the only thing I’m shipping Anna with is therapy.

            When you first met Anna she was berating Becky. Now, she may have been irritated because she was “standing in the way”, but the polite thing to do would have been to say “excuse me” and get on with life. Then after that she insults Mindy’s appearance. (And, in that same scene, Mindy mentions that her parents would have preferred if she dated a different girl, which suggests that Anna was not very nice to them either.)

            When you next saw Anna, she managed to recognize Leslie by calling her “big nose”.

        I think she’s had like three or four lines in literally all of her appearances where she wasn’t being incredibly rude and hostile as her first and only option.

        Fuck Anna.

        It’s a better Episode IV. What’s not to like?

          I adore Force Awakens. It’s funny how all the fans that scream at me that nobody needed a rehash of Episode IV are men. Look, I couldn’t identify with Luke as a kid, and Leia, awesome as she is, doesn’t have my personality type either. Rey is the hero little kid me deserved, god dammit, and I need her in my life. <3

            Also funnily enough, the criticisms leveled at Rey are suspicious similar to those leveled at Korra from the Avatar-verse, who I also love dearly for the same reasons. Can the chosen one archetype just belong to women sometimes? Can they be naturally talented and strong and still mess up and learn form their mistakes? I’m so happy for all the little girls who get to feel like main characters now. Realizing that during TFA made me weep in the theater.

    I’m surprised Bagge is alive. Because apart from the dream sequence a few days ago, this is Becky’s first appearance since September 18; and I was pretty certain Bagge need her special brand of DOOFUSness to survive.

              They have the power to hurt a handful of people. Robin was in the position to – and was trying to – hurt whole demographics. Not due to active malevolence, maybe, but being a passive malignancy doesn’t change the damage she would have done by going along with the whole ‘hate on The Gays to get votes’ thing.

              As Kamino put it, I’m not. I’m not saying Robin is top of the evil chart (that’s either Blaine or Ryan, I’m still undecided), I’m saying she tops the damage chart. Because those people are localised damages. When Ryan raped someone, that didn’t suddenly encourage all wannabe-rapists across the country.

              But when Robin supports anti-gay legislation, that DOES encourage homophobes across the country or, at least, the state. Because bigots are just bullies that have grown too old for people to be comfortable calling them bullies (for some reason), and therefore the only thing holding them back is fear of consequences. And Robin represents the state, which is the ultimate giver of consequences, so when she says, “meh, sure, gaybash”, what bigots hear is “get out of jail free card when you fuck gay people up, go for it, we’re with you.”

                There was also that pretty major part of the last few days where Ryan’s attack and subsequent doxxing of some of his victims led a bunch of people to try to attack their houses in the middle of the night.

                  Amazi-Girl did some fake doxing to lead them to empty houses instead of the real ones, but there was also real stuff going on.

        Robin flatly ignored Leslies wishes whenever convenient for her. She got thrown out of the apartment and broke in through the window. Anna was rude to a stranger that mistreated her friend (because, well, the excuse Leslie gave was pretty obvious and pretty lame). And Anna is the bad choice?
        I’ll wait to see how she actually behaves in a relationship. Robin didn’t exactly put the bar very high though.

          Anna’s first words in the strip are literally her insulting Mindy in front of Leslie. Furtherrrrrrmore, Mindy’s seems to be her employee or, at least, her hierarchical subordinate (they’re also roommates, for bonus awkwardness points).

    Here’s a thought: I know that some colleges demand that freshman students stay in the dorms. Is that a requirement at IU.

    If not, I can see a hyper-cute development where Joyce, Becky and possibly Sal and Amber end up staying in a small studio apartment just off campus. There results the kind of weird pseudo-domesticity that only those four could create.

      Sadly, all underclassman have to live in on-campus housing, at least according to Walky when he’s showing Jason around. (I’m assuming this is the only reason Sarah is still anywhere near this dorm and the people in it.)

        And we all know how diligent Walky is in his research practices. 🙂

        I’m not going to dive into the Wayback Machine to check, but, given the floating timeline, that might have been true on move-in day. But as of the “plebs” strip, the on-campus rule applied only to first-year students.

        Sarah is probably still in Read because it’s her cheapest option. The co-ops are cheaper, but space is limited, and anyway can you imagine Sarah in a co-op? The (presumably subsidized) on-campus unfurnished apartments are mostly more expensive than the dorms, which probably indicates that off-campus housing is even pricier.

      First-year undergrads have to spend their first two semesters in dorms (source).

      The floating timeline offers an opportunity for the real-life 2019-2020 academic year when, due to an on-campus housing crunch, that requirement is waived. But during that same time Forest is closed, which would present problems.

        Plus due to the floating timeline, it would only be for an in-comic week or so that it was allowed, which would be weird.
        I’m not sure the question really matters anyway, we’re at least a real decade away from the start of the next semester, which is the earliest reasonable time for any move off campus, even without rules about residency.

        Why do they HAVE to live in the dorms? Like, what if you lived within a relatively easy car/bus trip to the university so it wasn’t necessary? Or you had the funds to acquire housing on your own?

        Also I dunno about the states/IU in particular but up here in Canada land student housing is way more expensive than finding a landlord renting out a part of their house to students…

          “Why do they HAVE to live in the dorms?”

          The blunt reason is school rules, but the other is because it’s to open students up to each other and the university experience and get involved.

          “Like, what if you lived within a relatively easy car/bus trip to the university so it wasn’t necessary? Or you had the funds to acquire housing on your own?”

          Depends on the school. Some will let you out of it if you live close by. Others say ‘Too bad. You have to move in.’

          And yes, indeed, university housing is usually much more expensive than finding a place on your own.

            Also means the kids out on their own for the first time aren’t living completely unsupervised.
            A lot of places will make exceptions for commuter students still living at home and for older students who might be freshmen but worked for some years after high school before going to college. Don’t know if IU does though.

            Of course, the alternate cynical explanation is that the university makes money off of dorm housing. 🙂

          The argument as to why the must live on campus (at those schools that require it) is usually that it facilitates networking and building required support structures that facilitate better academic performance. There have been studies that facilitate that claim, but for many of them it’s arguable how valid their methodologies are.

          That aside, it varies a lot as to what individual universities and colleges do for housing. The school I attended 20 years ago had a lot of options. On campus dorms similar to what we see in this comic were available but were scarce on the ground. On campus apartments were available, but were more expensive, still didn’t have any cooking facilities and had the same rules as the dorms.
          The school rented out a large number of local apartment buildings near campus, they were traditional apartments with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a single shared bathroom and a shared living room. They were handled as “off campus housing” through the school which ran shuttle buses to them. They were cheaper than on campus and offered more freedom, but filled up quickly with upperclassmen and were less convenient than on campus housing.
          Then one could get off campus housing on one’s own which was oft still cheaper and even less convenient (supply your own transportation). This option was not available to first year students at all.
          Then you had what they called “commuter students” like myself. My parents (not I but my parents) had to apply for me to be allowed this option rather than living on campus because I was under 21 and a first year and still living at home. Part of that was waiving the school from any responsibility for anything that might happen to me off campus. Normally this was mainly for working adults taking night classes on campus. I was far from the only one who was a commuter under similar circumstances, but it also required a separate process so many students didn’t bother even if they lived close enough to do it. I was against it myself, until it was pointed out to me that it would cut $15,000 per year in housing plus the cost of a meal plan (itself near $5000 per year) from my student loans and would allow me to keep working without looking for on campus work (off campus work while living on campus was another similar separate application process with another waiver for what happened to me off campus) when I considered having some employment experience important both financially and for other reasons.

    The alt text and these Spider comments have reminded me of a fantastic fan art pun idea I had. I wanna draw Stevonnie in Spider-Gwen’s costume, so that it’s a picture of Gwen Stevonnie.

    So, just to address this head-on, since I’m coming off inconsistent if you’re a regular comment reader: My last comment here a week or so ago about maybe no longer commenting was in connection with a planned suicide attempt that ended up not happening. It’s super embarrassing! Let’s not talk about it!

    On a happier note, I’ve decided to attend TCAF in May, where I will hopefully spot a Willis in the wild. Is anyone else here planning on attending? Also, I’d love to know more artists’ work beforehand. Does anyone have recommendations by artists who will be there, especially webcomic artists? (I know Willis and Danielle Corsetto will be there, along with several graphic novelists I’ve read works by.)

      Since you insist, we will not talk about whatever it was weren’t talking about, although we’re glad nothing happened.

      Speaking of “in the wild,” I see that Rosemary Mosco is an exhibitor. Her webcomics are Bird and Moon and Your Wild City. She is also a mutual twitter follower both with Robot Hugs and with Jeph Jacques, so maybe she can dish some dirt on them. 🙂

      She is, though. Homelessness looks like a lot of things. This is one form of it. No, Becky isn’t living on the street, but lots of people are in situations like her, living on friends’ couches, their car, motels, etc. while they try to get their lives together enough to get out of homelessness. She is staying here thanks to the kindness of others, and that clearly weighs on her.
      But also, she’s gonna be okay. She clearly has a life plan to apply for college and financial aid, and she’s working hard saving what money she can.

          Worse – it appears to be some sort of domain name expiration issue.

          Whois.net says that the registrar is joker.com (really!) and that the domain expires in 2020. But if you go to the registrar, it says that the status of the itswalky.com domain is “hold, expired” and that it expired two days ago.

          So whether you get it or not depends on which nameserver you wind up at and whether or not it thinks that the domain has expired.

            It appears to be gone from the root servers, so people who are getting it are getting it from servers that have cached it. That’s going to end as the various servers reach their time-outs for those caches.
