      Lol, I am reading this comment section directly after waking up because last night my sinuses were full to bursting and while I was sleeping this morning they decided to finally drain into my stomach, post-nasal drip style, filling my stomach with gas and nearly making me vomit when I rolled over and burped. Now I can’t go back to sleep or else I’ll have to deal with that again in a couple hours since being horizontal is only going to make the build up worse, which means I had to drop my shift at work tonight since I drive for a living and two and a half hours of sleep is not nearly enough for that to be even remotely a good idea.

      We need a whole Slipshine with Amber and Joyce comparing notes, narrating who did whom and how they did it. Also commiserating on the difficulties of typing out notes one-handed (Joyce covering one eye; Amber…doing something else.)

      Amber’s got the field of getting the friends all sexing each other; Joyce has the field of getting the friends all dating each other. Together, they are a devastatingly effective matchmaker duo.

        Just to be clear: there wouldn’t be any dirty stuff visible to the audience, correct? Literally just a dozen or so straight pages of Amber and Joyce talking to each other like sports commentators, while the orgy proceeds just off-panel?

        PERFECT. I’m in. This will be the greatest Slipshine OF ALL TIME.

          I feel like Joyce might not have the best vocabulary to describe things very well, or if she does she might not be comfortable saying things out loud. That definitely doesn’t apply to Amber though, so maybe Amber has more the descriptor role and Joyce provides the hilarious reaction faces (and sounds).

            Counterpoint: Joyce may not have the vocabulary to describe things WELL, but she DEFINITELY has the vocabulary to describe things HILARIOUSLY.

            E.g. “Oh…oh my gosh…is he going to put his tummy wand in her BUTT-HOLE?”

    Also I’m half convinced Booster would be into it too.

      Booster definitely would be, but would have a scale of interest where there is more interest if the sex involved is in some way scandalous or fraught. If one of the participants is cheating on their official partner, for instance, or if the two just have a hideously toxic relationship that just makes sex a bad idea, for instance, then Booster’s gonna be all-in.

    Amber covers one eye with one hand.
    The other hand is typing notes.
    Amber and Joyce will compare notes later.
    Their super-secret master plan to get _everyone_ hooked up with partners is coming along nicely.
    ((maybe ‘mistress’ plan?))
    Amber handles the hormones/lust side of the hookups. Joyce handles the love sleuth/romance side.

      Just according to the translate thingy on Google Lens, you’ve got:

      joyce Waaki Dorotsu

      amba (Biri) Jenifa beki

      monkey [Sal] Sara Joe

      Luz [Ruth] Jina Danni

      Izan microphone Ruth [Lucy]

      Kaala Reply [Leslie] jacob

      robin Roz Jason

      mariyah Buusta Ashaa

      So, it’s mostly fine, but some of the characters’ names have interesting oddities. “Sal” being translated to “monkey” is obviously from “saru”, but I’m not sure how “Leslie” becomes “reply”. Microphone is just Mike’s full legal name of course, so I guess they don’t shorten it in Japan.

      In my headcanon, Dina is at the end of a long chain of snot kisses started by Tyler and Becky is about to indirectly drain Dorothy’s nose. Sort of like coming full circle.

      I know Dina has never swapped spit with anyone before Becky so it’s unlikely, but not entirely impossible.

      A) That’s not a new phenomenon, voyeurism and exhibitionism have been very popular for a very long time.

      B) Why do you care?

      C) These aren’t “the youth” they’re caricatures of people. In a comic. Exaggerated for comedic effect.

      D) That does seem so much like “wants to be watched” as it does “is open to being watched” which is a subtle difference, I’ll admit.

    LGBTQ things happening to Amber keep being mentioned and we’re now crossing the point where it’s yes-or-yes added to the Chekhov’s Armory. Someone amidst the Commentariat had been proposing a Something with Booster? I kinda see it.

    So far we’re here like

    1- Personal tragedies as conversation starters
    2- Mental health and sexual TMI convos
    3- Interlocked interpersonal drama powder kegs
    4- Way more booze than snacks or mixers

      I just noticed that they all seem to have somewhat personalized boozles, possible indicating how inebriated they are.

      Becky has little circles and dots.
      Dina has dots, circles and little x marks (…that allergic reaction).
      Amber is the only one with circles, dots, and orbits, possibly indicating dizziness.
      Looking back….
      I see that Danny has little circles and dots.
      Ethan has a mix of little dots and little circles.
      Asher only has little dots (mild inebriation?)
      Sal has lots of little circles.

      I’d look for more but I don’t have time.

Joyce is absolutely totally straight and just wants to hang out with her best friend, who happens to be another lady. This is normal behavior and a normal biblical quote to use that has no other context. GAL PALS

OK, I said I was going to a thread of receipts together on the guy who runs Kapow, in odder to explain why I personally would recommend not giving him your business at TFN. Starting with the original post, revealing the guy loves sharing right wing fascist stuff on LinkedIn.

Since you might think it's weird you got a like on this over a year after the fact, the director of Kapow just shared this on LinkedIn; i.imgur.com/hqQYWgO.png

This is the best review I've ever gotten on my clothes. They will make you hot and popular. Find em at rosalarian.com/shop
Text conversation that reads: 
Pink text: i just wore my pervert shirt from your site to a party last night and it was possibly the funniest conversation starter OVER AND OVER. i could have full conversations with someoen about it and then the person literally sitting on the other side of me would look over and go HEY YOUR SHIRT SAYS PERVERT?! just immaculate, best design I've ever gotten and it also scores me a whole subway bench on the train.
Black text: This is exactly the reaction I was aiming for, both at the party and on the subway
Pink text: 100% crit rate
Pink text: i was extremely popular all of a sudden
A photo of a short sleeve button up skirt that is black with the word PERVERT scrawled all over it in white handwriting
