        It’s time to establish some lore- Is it the same muzak every time? What do store shoppers think about this? How exactly DOES one hijack a muzak??

          My position is the hacked muzak was originated here by Bierce and others should respect that.
          But that’s me. ymmv

            iirc at one point Wellerman asked Bierce permission to help themselves to their hacked muzak, and they were like “sure be my guest”. other than that, you’re right Stephen takes his position as hacked muzak DJ very seriously. i think he explained his rules in a post a few months ago, feel free to ask him again or try and do a site-specific, maybe date-restricted google search for it.

            but one thing i do remember is you don’t play tunes on the hacked muzak just anywhere. the hacked muzak = indoors, outside on campus = PA system and elsewhere well you gotta be creative (car FM stereo was one option he went with recently)

              I remember the Muzak was unhacked around when Wagstaff ran rampant over the concept.

      Dina has an advantage because her hat gives her an extra set of eyes to seduce with.

      If she pastes a couple of big flirty eyes up there too, she’ll be unstoppable.

          Dina’s hat is always using Glare.

          When Dina seems to suddenly appear from nowhere, it’s because the characters don’t realize they were paralyzed for the last minute or so, allowing her to enter and leave at her leisure.

            I am now imagining a Garfield Minus Garfield-esque version of the comic where everything is exactly the same, except that Dina’s face is completely blank—with the effect that it always looks like the hat is talking.

            Hrrm. Now I kind of want to try my hand at this.

        I thought that was a “Smokey and the Bandit” reference.
           “Don’t you take that hat off for anything?”
           “Sure. I take it off for one thing, and one thing only.”
           “If we were lost on a desert island together… ”
           “Yes?”
           “Do you think we’d get along and talk and… things?”
           “Sure.  Yeah, we’d get along.  It’d never be boring, I can tell you that.  It would never be boring.”
           “Take your hat off.”

          To be fair, it’s been a few years since Willis has done a full-on Valentine’s Day shipwreck (I think the last real one was 2018). That could mean he’s lost his taste for blood, but it could also mean we’re due for a REALLY big one. Or he could next level us and have all the crazy, heartbreaking romantic drama happen on Valentine’s Day in-universe.

      Therefore Becky should just start worshiping her instead.

      … so, an experiment fails when its data is spoiled?

      … like, if Dina’s trying to experiment whether doing science with Becky causes her physical arousal, and Joe barges in, the experiment fails?

        An experiment fails when it fails to confirm or refute the hypothesis it was supposed to test.

        An experiment that tests if a solution will burn when lit with a match does not fail if the solution doesn’t burn. It has successfully tested the hypothesis.

        If you couldn’t light the match, then the experiment is a failure.

          Which is consistent with what Adam Savage said, because that test would not yield valid data.

          I feel like people forget that one of the things Mythbusters did best was introduce basic scientific processes and thinking to the public at large. I expect this quote is referring to an experiment that produced results that were inconclusive or perhaps a bit vague, but which still yielded valid data.

    Okay, while I definitely approve of where Dina wants this to go…

    ….

    Thing is, I think getting her new, momentarily-stable life once again put through the wringer is kinda something Becky’s cursed to do, since she spent most of Act I going on about how awesome her life is. And Dina was on her list of reasons it was awesome. So… this might lead to a breakup, on the grounds that Becky can’t be Dina’s girlfriend without being tempted away from Jesus or something like that.

    (Seriously, if you’re more than a bit character and you’re in Act I of any sort of dramatic work, do NOT talk out loud about how awesome everything is at this moment. Save that talk until the denouement.)

    Yyyyeah this whole situation is something of a fuckin catch-22 for Becky, aint it.

    She wants Dina to be attracted to her, but not to actually do anything with that. Dina is, presumably, trying to do something that will make Becky feel attractive to Dina–I don’t think she’s necessarily forcing it unnaturally, it’s very much a genuine desire to please Becky by ‘seducing’ her in this way, but how much of that is genuinely brought on by real sexual attraction…who knows, it could be none, could be a little, could be Dina experimenting with figuring out what does or does not actually turn her on. (Seems liker a very Dina thing to do.)

    Either way, Becky cannot allow herself to be ‘seduced’ and must put a stop to things once they escalate to a point of no return. Which will probably not be a big deal to Dina, who would have expected that from the getgo, but then of course Becky will be horny as fuck and frustrated and ashamed of her desires. If she gives in and lets things escalate further, I mean. All the shit about sin and hell and everything.

    Even if Dina literally does the thing Becky has stated she explicitly wants, which is be attracted to Becky (or at the very least, be able to make Becky feel attractive TO Dina) but have enough self-control to not act on it, there’s very much no way Becky comes out feeling good about herself and satisfied with the relationship. She may feel as if her misery at trying to remain celibate is righteous because Jesus, but realistically there HAS to be a tipping point to where the good feeling of doing right by Jesus gets usurped by the misery of repressing her sexuality.

    Which is why all of this sexual purity bullshit is total and utter crap and Becky literally needs to throw it in the trash. Maybe for someone else who doesn’t struggle quite as much with sexual attraction, it could work out (maybe), but this shit just will not ever work for Becky.

    My hope is that the storyline with Joyce’s atheism might lead Becky down the road of idk, actually seeing that Joyce maybe has a point on some things, maybe. Becky, you’re so able to so easily modify your faith to include whatever you want and not include whatever you don’t want, I hope THIS thing in particular isn’t somehow the hill you’re going to die on. This thing that WILL make you miserable.

      I really hope it’s not actually any purity stuff that’s really holding Becky back.

      Yes, I know that’s what she was raised to believe, but she as also raised to believe that she should get married and start squirting out brats for the next 20 years, obviously she’s willing to break with her upbringing in ways.

      In the end, I just hope this is more like the whole hat thing that Becky went through a while back. Less “Becky honestly believes that she must remain pure and virginial until marriage” and more “Becky’s got a messed up set of hang-ups due to a whole lot of social baggage and she’s placed sex on this weird pedestal”.

      It feels like a lot of commenters here forget how scary sex can feel if you’ve never done it before or if you’ve been dry for a long time. With the Hat thing, it wasn’t even that Becky had a scalp fetish, it was just weird social signals getting crossed and she started obsessing about it. It can work that way for sex too, and it really has nothing to do with purity…

      • Joyfulldreams
        Joyfulldreams
        February 8, 2022 at 12:04 pm | #

        I mean. It’s very much explicitly both? The idea of sexual purity INHERENTLY gives you a lot of social baggage and places sex on an extremely high pedestal. It’s almost certainly part of why Becky is so hesitant, I’m pretty sure she is genuinely nervous and hesitant to Do the Deed because of those hangups.

        But that doesn’t change the fact that she also very, VERY plainly desires it anyway, and ANY degree of horniness that she experiences will come with either feelings of shame OR feelings of intense disappointment. There is no way for her to win in this scenario, short of, as she says in the strip I linked to, simply NOT having as much sexual desire. Which won’t happen, because that’s not who Becky is, and in fact repressing herself so intensely will only lead to those feelings getting WORSE and more intense. Leading to things like how she gets horny over something as simple as a hat, or fetishizes shoulders.

        Maybe if Becky allowed herself to masturbate that could help relieve things a little, but I highly, highly doubt she will. Masturbation is a good way for women repressed like this to begin to untangle the complicated relationships they have with their bodies, but like…Becky has to make that step, and what with her beliefs that literally everything she does will be watched by her mother and also by god in heaven, like………

          Becky’s got a messed up set of hang-ups due to a whole lot of social baggage and she’s placed sex on this weird pedestal BECAUSE Becky honestly believes that she must remain pure and virginial until marriage.

          She’s also admitted that she’s changed and lost so much (when Dina first proposed the idea on her birthday) and wants to at least keep this part.

            Well, as long as she defines pure and virginal as not inserting a penis into her vagina, she can do all the lesbian sex she wants and still meet that standard. Unfortunately, I don’t think she would allow herself to use that loophole.

      I’d really like to see Becky take a moment, NOT in the heat of horny-for-Dina, to actually analyze her beliefs about no sex before marriage. Whether this is an idea that was pressed upon her, or whether it s something she honestly feels in her heart of hearts that God calls upon her to adhere to. And I don’t really mind which side of things she comes down on, I’d just like her to take a little time with the question.

        In my experience with sexual frustration, it can be really hard to find a moment where that heat doesn’t exist. Especially when you want to explicitly think about things that will trigger that hear (sexy times).

        Which is one of the reasons it can be really terrible to put yourself through what Becky is putting herself through – it can become a black hole of ugly feelings and repressed desire. Then honestly the relief isn’t always even that good because it’s mixed in with so much ugly. If you’re able to recognize this is just part of the process, then generally it gets better pretty soon (provided you have a willing partner), but if you don’t know that it’s easy to misinterpret disappointment.

        Especially in this case where Becky is likely to freak the fuck out if sec isn’t 100% perfect – either break down that she isn’t good enough or see it as proof she violated god’s will or whatever.

        She does still need to figure this out, I agree, and she’s a cartoon character so can be granted relief from this if Willis wills it.

        Just pointing out that for real people – it’s not always possible to escape the heat of arousal AND evaluate their sexual desires at the same time.

          (yes, I’m aware of masturbating. At my darkest times I was able to go 5+ times a day with dildos and still feel frustrated because my body craved partner sex. Hormones can be the absolute worst.

          Purely anecdotal but it seems like this frustration is worse when you have a partner – I haven’t been single since I was 17 so cannot speak from personal experience.)

        I suspect she has, just not onscreen. We know she’s already put thought into her beliefs regarding things such as young earth creation, and coming to grips with being a Christian lesbian means she’s probably spent more than a little time thinking about what that means for her regarding sex and marriage and her faith.

          I don’t think she has. She’s far too hung up on this ‘doing right by god’ and ‘no sex before marriage’ and she’s still fetishizing shoulders. She literally (and intensely!) believes that every single thing she does is being watched on a film reel in heaven by her mother, and of course also god.

          Like maybe she can conveniently forget that when she’s doing stuff she wouldn’t want her mom to see, but…considering how intensely she represses her sexual desires, and how heavily she associates it with her faith, I don’t think she’s likely to.

            Yeah.

            As late as the last time this plot point came up, Becky came around to blaming her Sinful Horniness and that everything would be fine if she would just stop being horny for Dina.

      Frankly Becky needs to sit down with her Bible and hammer out exactly what the parameters of “not before marriage” apply to lesbians.

      She doesn’t necessarily have to go “all the way” (whatever she considers that) but *some* form of mutual sexual release is important here.

      And seeing as the whole “no sex before marriage” thing is predominately related to “no bastards” – I mean, anything those two can do is safe.

      Even if it’s something like writing erotic stories to each other, or sexting, or masturbating while the other watches, or whatever.

      Sexuality is a great wide world to explore and there’s plenty you can do short of ripping your girlfriend’s hat off with your teeth and fisting her til she screams.

    In not so fun news, my country australia is considering a religious discrimination bill that would allow queers to be discriminated against as well as disabled people. As an autistic transfem I’m definitely having many feelings about it.

          Given Florence seems pretty comfortable referring to themselves as autistic i don’t think that’s the point here, so much as the legalizing of discrimination. Ik you have bad history with the word but that’s not everyone

            It should be noted that Eugen Bleuler, the guy who came up with the term “autism” (as well as “schizophrenia”) was a eugenicist (go figure) and sterilized his patients. But that’s the language and lexicon we’ve got at present, so until something better comes along and gets widely accepted, that’s what a lot of us are still going with.

              @delicious taffy: I didn’t know the history but it isn’t surprising. I like the word but also neurodivergence has potential although maybe too general.also yea, conservative bigots gonna conservative bigot, ugh

              @the wellerman: it’s a whole lotta urgh. I understand you don’t like the using the word autism, do you have a word you prefer? Always want to refer to people the way they feel comfy

              @zee: thank you, although I respect anyones uncomfy feelings I do like the word when referring to myself. Although I’ve learnt I’m also adhd so past a certain point it may be more useful to refer to myself as neurodivergent for time hahaha

            That can sometimes get a bit tricky with subs who are into “bratty” play. (That is, they WANT their Doms to manhandle or push them harder than they might feel comfortable with. They want that thrill of knowing their limits are going to be pushed.) That’s why most veterans of the BDSM scene recommend using a colour-code system (Green is all clear, Yellow means ease up a little, Red means complete stop), or having a very unambiguous word that the sub would be highly unlikely to use in the passion of the moment.

            The caveat to this, of course, is that sometimes the sub themselves can freeze up or panic if things start moving too fast, so the onus is always on the Dom to frequently check with their sub to make sure they’re comfortable and amenable. Where exactly to draw the line between keeping the excitement going and playing it safe will depend entirely on the individual preferences and tastes of the couple (or more, if you’re into that sort of thing), but I always prefer to err on the side of caution.

              Hmm, I’d forgotten about the brats, despite having experience in that department. I do like the traffic-light system, it’s pretty good. A really good safe word is tough to come up with, because if it’s too long or complex it’ll be hard to get out, and if it’s something super hot like “Megazord”, the dom might get mixed signals and misread, leading to a bad interaction.

Partner: No, no, no...

crabs in a bucket | patreon.com/lubchansky
PANEL 1:  MATTIE sitting on the floor in front of a bucket.
MATTIE: Man, I put all these crabs in this bucket to watch them fight to the top for my amusement…

PANEL 2: MATTIE peering in close to the bucket. One claw is raised, holding a little piece of paper folded over.
MATTIE: …But it looks like they all just started trading ZINES in there!
MATTIE: Kind of annoying.

PANEL 3: MATTIE grabs the zine.
MATTIE: Hm?

PANEL 4: Close up of the zine in MATTIE's hands. The title is STEVEN, THE CRAB DIRECTLY BELOW ME, IS A PIECE OF SHIT!
MATTIE: Haha okay this is pretty good

thinking of that time i found an abandoned transformers wiki on wikia that was just a bunch of terrible and incomplete lists of character names, sitting back, and deciding i could fix this wiki by writing a comprehensive Donny Finkleberg Robot-Master page.

#DidYouKnow we just turned 20 years old? Yes, really! The original incarnation of TFWiki was originally founded on Wikicities on this day in 2005. Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years!
