      Upvoted, but lemme get into a little nonsense:

      Squidward doesn’t care that much about SpongeBob.

      Squidward does share the same “gawd I can’t believe these are my best friends” and “leave me out of this 90% of the time” as Sarah, yet at some point his crankiness is not overridden by concern for threats to the friends.

      Did Squidward ever need to become The Bikini Bottom Slugger?

        I mean it’s a good look and it’s low maintenance, which are both major positives in my book, but yeah I’m not sure I’d call it soft.

          I dunno about “low maintenance”. I trim my beard once a year, and it’s soft and silky.

          (My gravatar (the Selkie Daddy from John Allison’s excellent Bad Machinery) is actually pretty accurate, though I have more grey in my beard these days and I don’t turn into a seal that you can prove.)

        I can’t say how it feels on thighs, but whiskers do get softer at some point. On the other hand, my face does not stay smooth long after even a good shave.

      Sure, I’ve got an anniversary coming up in a few weeks. That counts since we’re both queers, right? Gonna have a mall day, a little bowling, maybe pick up a new TTRPG book to replace the ones I’ve got.

      I’d also like to finish *Symphony of the Night* within the month. Never played a *Castlevania* before this one, but it was on sale with *Rondo* for like $4 and has the characters from the cartoon in it so I figured why not.

          It turns out I was already logged in, lol.

          Dorothy and Arnold? Why would Arnold be attracted to Dorothy, I wondered. Is he just a tool for Dorothy get an ideal outcome? Why not a pairing that makes sense from both sides.

          Mindy gets someone confident, even when they’re kind of a mess, and Dorothy explores her bisexuality, the age gap isn’t weird, and neither is Mindy’s resemblance to someone else as long as none of Dorothy’s friends mention it, and ok so she’s making Mindy a project, but Mindy seems ok with it.

    I’ve just woke up from a dream where today’s comic was Dorothy posting a selfie with Walkie (who looked not so sure of himself in the picture). She put the words “back together” or something like that on it. And then it showed Lucy having lunch with Sarah and being grumpy about seeing it. Weird dream

          Interesting that people were saying the same thing about Walky and Lucy: he’s just not as interested as she is. Maybe he just doesn’t let it show?

          I do think he has some misgivings about this turn of events. And I share your concern about Lucy.

          He’s probably apprehensive because Dorothy dumped him last time, pretty much out of the blue because her grades were slipping due to all the extra time and attention she was giving him. And then kept hanging onto him for sex.

          Sarah was the one who gently warned Lucy about Walky. But at the same time, she also basically shat on her and compared her to Raidah.

          I don’t think they’d hang out, but there is kind of a connection there.

      She’s trusting Joyce’s decision, which in this case is Joe. So it’s at least trust-adjacent in Joe.

        From Sarah’s perspective Joyce is an EOD Specialist and Joe is a bomb. She trusts Joyce but has nothing but bad feelings about Joe.

    TBF to Joe, Joyce is now sure that good Christian boys like Tristan are not for her. A respectful (and terrified) Joe is about as good as Sarah could hope for.

      There’s nothing good about Christian boys like Tristan, and i don’t believe that’s ever what Sarah would have hoped for for Joyce. The best you can say about the dude is that he’s probably not deeply invested in his bigotry; he’s just easily led.

      I mean she expected (someone like) Jacob. A good person, but a bit of a nerd that likes to ramble on about religion. Someone like Joe, even if he’s turning over a new leaf, is a bit of a shock.

        A Jacob (though Sarah would be jealous, she’d also have an excuse not to risk her own move on him.)
        But most of the rest of the male cast would have been fine too. She didn’t have any problem with her and Ethan – before they knew he was gay. Danny would have been fine. Walky might be annoying, but not a threat.

          In-comic we have seen Walky having sex, or implied sex with more women than Joe. Walky we have seen with Dorothy, Amber/AG, almost Lucy, and Dorothy again. Joe we have had with Roz, that skater girl with the lizard, almost with Sarah’s sister, and cuddles with Joyce. So more “almosts” with Joe in-comic, but more completes for Walky.

            Also with Penny – the other TA.
            And strong implications for off screen sex more often. Dan mentions being sexiled pretty regularly.

            Joe:3 in-comic. Roz, Malaya, Penny. At least 9. According to Dorothy, at least 7 as of “If the Shoe Splits“, and Malaya and Penny after that.

    This exchange is amazing hahaha Honestly, though, I am absolutely loving all of the effort both Joe and Sarah are putting into changing into better people. I’m not entirely sure who my favourite character is, it might be Joyce, but I am really enjoying Joe’s arc in particular right now. He has become one of my favourite characters to see ~on screen~ and I love his care towards Joyce. I am excited to see where things go!!

    I have to sympathize with Sarah a little bit, here. It must be super weird to see your sheltered, naive waif roommate hot-and-bothered for your horndog former booty call. And to also see him apparently returning the sentiment.

    I hate when my frame of reference goes all askew.

      Not Sarah’s former booty call. She’s never been interested in him. From basically their first encounter where he promised to fix that “sheltered, naive waif roommate” with his penis.
