      Well, she said she’s straight. ‘No homo’ is usually more denigrating, implying ‘homo’ is a bad thing, in my experience of the phrase, which Joyce certainly isn’t doing.

      Yaoi and m/m slashfic are overwhelmingly written by straight women, for straight women, and are sometimes seen as objectifying and reductive, especially by some gay men.

      It annoys me, but I don’t actively object to it.

        Every survey we’ve ever conducted of the community has shown it’s majority queer people of varying gender identities, not straight cis women, actually. Plenty of trans men have also figured themselves out through it. So, like, maybe those gay men should get some perspective.

          Plus, Joyce is riffing on that figure here – or rather Willis is riffing on it for a punchline through Joyce, which honestly feels more self-insert than average given that she probably hasn’t read an awful lot of erotica by this point – by describing her private mental stimulation as exploitative. And, well, sure, some strong favourites could potentially end up being problematic in extreme circumstances if she’s totally ignoring ingroup perspectives, I guess. But creating media of m/m because it sells well is quite a step up from thinking about two men you find attractive for a moment.

        Here you can see one survey saying it’s only 14% of people writing fics who identify as straight: https://www.flowjournal.org/2023/02/fan-demographics-on-ao3/

          Honestly, I think the issue here is that the people in question are real (to Joyce). She doesn’t seem to have issues with fictional slash fic.

            Thanks, hon’.

            Just having a bad PTSD day. Also been experiencing kind of brain-glitch-short-circuit-meltdowns recently. Hard to explain.

            How about you, hon’? How’s things going for you?

            Funny how when a DOA character has an episode of out of control behavior (Dina, Sarah, Billie, Amber, Joyce…) it’s just presented as part of their character arc. Not as something glitchy in their brains… more like, just, how they are and how they respond to extreme provocation. (Such as, in Dina’s case, trash-talk about dinosaurs, or, in Sarah’s case, the presence of Raidah and perceived threats to Joyce.)

            It’s wild, how a comic strip can normalize extreme experience.

              Yeah Willis is quite the remarkable author that way, it may also be down to the fact that he’s neurodivergent himself (over halfway through an autism diagnosis actually)

              Sorry to hear about your meltdowns Laura, that must really suck. Hope you feel better soon 😔

      This is a really weird question, considering the entire arc of this chapter so far seems to be, “Dorothy realizes she needs to be around someone who makes her smile, and that someone is Joyce”. This is literally Dorothy’s self-care right now.

        I meant in terms of whether “taking care of Joyce” is actually helping Dorothy, or if it is just another way for Dorothy to avoid her own problems for a while. Clearly she is happy to be around Joyce, but I worry that she is using Joyce as a bandage on a gaping wound.

          I also think Kyrik’s question is reasonable to ask because this storyline started with Dorothy having a very trauma filled nightmare about being unable to save Joyce.

            You know, this is a good point! Maybe I’m misreading the story beats. I do think this is an extremely sweet scene, and I’m connecting with it with my own contexts that may be biasing me a tidge.

              I think it’s a sweet scene too, and honestly I do think Joyce and Dorothy are good for each other in the end! They just need to have some sort of communication where Dorothy can admit how much she worries for Joyce and Joyce can find some way to help that anxiety (either with verbal affirmation or some sort of system like… just spitballing but if it was me, I’d give some sort of text notification akin to like ‘hey besty, just letting you know I’m alright’ on days where they don’t hang out). Realistically I think Dorothy does need either some space from Joyce… or just more healthy interactions like the one in this strip, as opposed to situations where Joyce is relying on Dorothy for things.

              I also think Dorothy just needs a really good cry and for Joyce to hold her and let her know everything’s okay.

                  “Everything’s gonna be okay, Dorothy… I promise” Joyce cupped her friend’s chin, smiling softly at her. Dorothy’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, before her gaze drifted from Joyce’s bright blues to her smiling mouth.

                  “Joyce…”

                  “It’s okay, Dorothy. You wouldn’t be the first girl I’ve ever kissed…”

                  Cut to Joe imagining the above scenario.

            This is true, but keep in mind she ALSO pushed Joyce away so she could “focus on her career” and that made her even more miserable. I don’t think it’s a solved problem because this comic goes sllloooowwwwww but she at least might start to correct her self destruction now that she’s pointed the right direction.

          That’s definitely a trickier question! But the type of self-care she’s been pursuing has been pretty expressly the “I need a break from worrying” variety. Playing lazy video games didn’t help because it felt empty for her. Helping Joyce makes her smile.

          I can honestly say that most “lazy” self-care doesn’t work for me. Like Dorothy, I’m too Productive to feel relaxed doing nothing. It just makes me feel yucky and stagnant. Self-care for me is doing the dishes, cleaning out the chicken coop, baking cookies: small, productive tasks that make me feel immediately satisfied and accomplished. For Dorothy, it’s pampering her friend who makes her laugh.

          She is objectively avoiding her problems today, but that *was* her stated, conscious goal from the moment she woke up. She’s trying to take a day off.

          Ooooohhh… Good questions.

          I think yes, but as with all things in moderation. Making Mac and cheese for a friend date is moderation. Part of my self care plan is doing something kind or helpful for someone else because it affirms my sense of self worth, connection and dedication to my values. Like eating dieting or exercise if it becomes obsessive and negatively impacts her life then it’s time to step back and reassess. Dorothy seems to have recognised that she needs to change how she’s operating, and I hope she invites Joyce to help her work through that. Also her psych. Gotta be honest with that bugger and get a plan sorted.

          Self-connection:

          It wasn’t good for me when I stayed up every night to wake my sister up from PTSD dreams, went through her police statement everyday and took on the bulk of her business responsibilities while prepping for her abuser’s trial. I see Dorothy’s recent micromanaging of Joyce’s classes and personal life as a similar obsession/addiction type behaviour that would lead to burn out and anxiety.

      Yes and no. It’s clearly a calming experience for Dorothy to help Joyce with her problems. But it also gives Dorothy an excuse not to deal with her own issues.

        I think pointing herself at caring for her friends in small, social ways isn’t really her not dealing with her issues. She thinks she can grind herself to death into stopping tragedy from happening ever again, and she’s learning that isn’t feasible. She’s still going to have difficulties letting go, but at least her “work” is pointed the right way.

          The big thing for Dorothy is finding a good balance in being helpful but not a caregiver to her friends. This scene is showing a more healthy and typical way a friend can help another through personal dilemmas without giving mother knows best vibes.

            Yeah, my daughter is a smol and she has cold sores because my Mom kissed her when she had an active one (probably the angriest I’ve ever been, btw. Caring for a two year old having a cold sore outbreak for the first time was a heartbreaking nightmare with how little I could do to ease her pain.)

            Kinda not fond of the soft implication that people with cold sores have made poor decisions in their lives and are something to be wary of, considering that she’ll be marred by these for the rest of her life and it absolutely was not her fault. I imagine it’s actually that way for most people.

              Regarding that implication, if I implied that then I am very sorry for that, I did not mean to. Like your daughter, I too have cold sores as I explained and what I meant is moreso that I know growing up, I had my share of kisses and never thought to think “oh I shouldn’t kiss/should check in with someone about cold sore stuff before I kiss them” beforehand.

        Given that 70-80% of adults have it, a decent amount of those adults are asymptomatic but still shed the virus, and it can be transmitted a million other ways besides kissing (particularly from parents, and I understand there can be some connection with a history of chicken pox)—there’s still a decent chance that Joyce has been exposed already.

      (cw I mention SA a few times here)

      I’d say Amber’s influence certainly helps, but for someone trying to overcome attempted sexual assault by someone of the opposite sex, what’s safer than indulging in fantasies that remove her own identity entirely from the equation?

      This probably sounds silly, but I’m just speaking from experience after years of analyzing my own crud, so I’m probably just projecting. Fwiw I ended up nb and queer as hell, so if Joyce really is anything like me, she’ll change her pronouns in a few years lol. But for the time while I was processing sexual abuse, it felt safer for “me” (my assigned sex) to not be involved in any fantasies until I emotionally healed enough to allow it again.

      So like, not to take the comment too seriously, but also you got me thinkin’ and thonkin’ about it

    Theory; Dorothy’s “your fundie brain” comments about silly stuff you believe that you can’t let go of either is currently or will soon help her realize she’s doing the exact same thing with her notions of “if I work harder I’ll stop the world from having pain or tragedy ever again”

      i’d imagine dorothy to be more worried about future germs b/c apparently one of her ‘first bfs’ she sneezed on and said ‘it was a thing adults do to empty their sinuses’ onto each other and be more hesitant /cringe at that the next time she thinks about kissing ppl

      but i imagine it’s fine as long as ur not actively sick

          venn diagram has outliers that are not part of the collective.

          Predator hand clasp = solidarity across the board.

          Or “the venn diagram would just be a circle”
