      My exes mum had a habit of opening her bedroom door unannounced in the mornings. (my ex was 27) The first time I slept there she opened the door to the view of my naked sleeping butt… and that was the last time she opened the door!

      They are so cute wearing those complementary silk head wraps side by side. Did Jacob go back to his dorm room for his, and then come back to spend the night cuddling with Lucy? Or do you think she just lent him one of hers?

      For the sake of preserving Lucy’s “woman of the world” mystique with Jacob, I’m hoping she didn’t bleed on the sheets. Not all V-card ticket-punches do wind up drawing blood, but it can be awkward when a fellow surmised that he was the first.

        Since Lucy’s room is in a different dorm it’s probably Jacob’s wrap.

        Honestly I see Sarah robbing a liquor store the next time she sees them kiss,
        She spent months opening herself up to Jacob and was about to turn a big corner thanks to how kind and caring he was to her during this.
        Only to see him kiss a girl he’s known for less time then her, without any alcohol too.
        This WILL cause her to never open herself again.

          She got burned once. Got ‘twice shy’ afterward. But after about a year of safe friendship, she started to trust again. Only to get burned again. Dang, how long will this second ‘twice shy’ last? 🙁

          Well, possibly. Joyce actually had a very similar experience with Jacob: stepped outside of her comfort zone in big ways and then it went sour. She’s already back on the horse in similar ways with Joe.

          Sarah’s in a rough spot, definitely. I have very little sympathy for her, though. She spent MONTHS treating Jacob quite inconsistently when he has made it very clear that he’s mostly (still!) interested in her as a friend. Has he ever, even once, expressed romantic interest in her? Not just “not rejecting her” but actual interest?

          Sarah’s done the “oooh I’m just soooooo bad with people, you won’t like me” shtick with him like six different times. I’m surprised he hasn’t already said “fine then” already (permanently, at least. We know he’s reacted to that rhetoric from her before, but only temporarily).

            Really Joyce and Sarah only have themselves to blame, regarding Jacob. They were both well out of order; Jacob let Joyce off the hook because he is a good egg, but Sarah… I think he just lost interest in her antics and who can blame him? Joyce was well out of order with Joe too, but he is giving the chance to make good for his own reasons

            Wait, “I prefer mustard myself” is correct. It’s a way of saying “I prefer mustard *rather than* [the thing that was said before]”. Meanwhile, “I prefer mustard *to* myself” means “I don’t want to share the mustard”.

      I think it’s just awkward to be near any couple you know had sex. Especially when you still have to live in the room. Joe wasn’t exactly chill post Danny and Sal fucking either. How are you supposed to act in this situation? Just a weird but common shared space scenario.

          She is ignoring it. She’s literally leaving to better ignore it. I know people really don’t like Jennifer, but i feel like there’s a lot of overanalyzing of a squint. This isn’t jealousy or condemnation of them, it’s just mildly annoying to witness a couple’s pillow talk. Some people aren’t Joyce.

      Remember that Jennifer thinks sincere and sweet and corny is “nerd stuff” and looks down on it. This is why, uh, well I was going to say Ruth then I thought of how she’s currently neglecting Asher and really it’s why Jennifer is Jennifer.

      I was thinking a bit of jealousy that Lucky had a great hookup and maybe a bit angry that she got thrown out by a nerd since Jennifer is still insecure being seen as popular and cool, it seems like she’s trying to get noticed giving the glare.

          I assume you mean bandana. Even if Turk calls it a durag, he wears a bandana in the series. A durag is usually made out of silk, satin, or nylon, and fits very tightly to the head. Using a bandana as a durag would move around too much.

      They aren’t shower caps; they are caps to protect their hair that some black people wear because of how fragile their hair is.

        It’s not so much that black hair is more fragile per say. We sometimes are protecting styles so they last longer (like waves) or to maintain certain moisture levels which helps with protective braids or locks. And since some styles and management are the salon can be expensive, making them last is important… But yes it’s also to help protect against frizzyness and tangling which is more of a risk with really curly hair at night

          But… did Jacob just have a durag in his pocket in case he got lucky that night? Maybe his “6 dates” rule is just denial or a front… Or maybe Lucy had a spare for when her adorable red riding hood bonnet is in the laundry

            Yeah my question is about Jacob’s headwear, because so far we’ve only seen Lucy in bonnets. Granted I’m no expert, it may be that she has durags around too, but I understand it to generally break down as people with longer hair using bonnets and people with shorter hair using durags. But I’m going to keep up in the comments to see if we get any elaboration.

              No, we’ve seen both Sal and Sarah in bonnets. Sarah was in a bonnet for the entire kidnapping arc. Sometimes people with longer hair or wigs will wear a durag to keep their roots flat or their edges/baby hairs from getting messed up, but yeah durags are more useful for short hair.

    Does anyone else feel like Jacob led Sarah on a bit? I don’t think he ever had any interest in her beyond being a friend. But she straight up, directly asked him if he liked her after telling him she liked him, and he gave her an indirect wishy washy answer that left her at least with room to think there was a chance. That bugs me. He should’ve just straight up said he liked her as a friend but wasn’t interested in dating/sex

      It hits me hard cuz I did the same thing many years ago where I was very direct about how I felt, which took a ton of courage, and was given a wishy washy open ended enough answer to think there was hope and I stayed on that hook for six months before I finally got the hint. It’s a shitty thing to give people false hope.

        I don’t think it was a false hope. Jacob was definitely interested.

        Jacob wants a person who can be honestly vulnerable together with him, and then to see where it goes together. Sarah isn’t emotionally ready for that relationship, but Lucy is.

        Plus, liking Lucy doesn’t mean he can’t also like Sarah. Jacob may even still be interested in Sarah, once Sarah is able to be emotional with him — it’s just that Sarah clearly can’t do that yet.

          The real question isn’t even if Jacob is still interested in Sarah. It’s if Sarah is interested in Jacob? She seemed pretty shocked at their hookup. Will she even have the motivation to keep pursuing him or anyone or fall back into her shell?

      I do agree with this. Like, yeah, Jacob doesn’t owe her a relationship, but when she outright asks if he feels the same way he did not say no. He also didn’t say yes. But it leaves the door open just a tad.

      Then again, his reaction with Joyce (aka, kissing her only to tell her he didn’t want to date her because of how she’d acted) tells me that Jacob’s not very good at giving clear answers when it comes to romance. So at least it’s in line for him.

        This is a very good point about Jacob’s character that I hadn’t noticed.

        That said, giving clear answers is critical to good communication. I have so many issues related to unclear expectations, shifting expectations, being led on and/or manipulated romantically as a teen, etc. that both of them are really, really pissing me off.

        Good writing. It’s too real. Ugh.

      He might have been giving the answer that was indicative of how he felt, which was open ended. Maybe he could see himself dating Sarah, and then several dates into the relationship be interested in sex with her. He had different, clearer feelings with Lucy.

        I take it as feeling tentative, waiting to see if Sarah would bolt again (and she did). It would be reasonable for him to see her as enticing him with feelings she wasn’t willing to really share.

      I wouldn’t go as far as to say he led her on, but he definitely knew what she wanted to hear and chose not to say it.

      And I do think it’s messed up of him to hook up with someone right in front of her, someone who introduced herself to him as Sarah’s friend mind you, after encouraging Sarah to share her feelings about him to him.

      I’m surprised he wasn’t more discreet.

      “I’m interested, if you can be not quite such a dumbass about everything… oh hey, new girl is awesome (awesomely clear and direct and sparking chemistry)!” is not leading someone on.

      I think he was open to seeing where things went with her, but she just kept shying away from any kind of sustained serious conversation. There’s only so many opportunities he can give her when someone like Lucy comes along and isn’t going to balk at being emotionally available.

      I think he was hinting no, but trying to include a compliment. Like when Joyce told Joe he smelled nice after having Mike assault him. He doesn’t have socializing all figured out, just because he’s gregarious. He’s not without his flaws.

      I think “leading her on” is perhaps uncharitable, but not inaccurate. I don’t think it was intentional – he seemed to genuinely want to be her friend and see where things go from there. But she was making getting to know her really hard, and like…he gave her so many opportunities to open up about herself. He didn’t want to shoot her down completely, because he wasn’t sure how he felt about her other than “mostly positive,” but like, she did tell him how she felt (a couple times iirc) and he gave non-answers. It would have been more kind to be direct with her in one of those conversations: you make me feel objectified, I’m uncomfortable with how overtly attracted you are to me, I would want to take things slowly and we both know you would be waiting, I like you as a person but I’m just not romantically attracted to you yet, and until you let me actually get to know you I don’t know if that will change, you should not wait for me. Anything along those lines. Or whatever his true feelings are! I don’t know.

      tldr Leading On feels loaded but idk what else to call it, so…yeah, pretty much.

      It’s not leading on to flirt with someone. It’s not leading on to not have decided yet. It’s not leading on to go home with someone when the person you were still deciding about skitters away mid-conversation and leaves you on your own. Having sex with someone/staying the night with them isn’t an automatic monogamous relationship, it’s possible to sleep with more than one person/flirt with more than one person/even date more than one person. It’s called not being exclusive yet and it happens literally all the time. He could easily still be interested in both women. It’s also possible that this IS the start of a monogamous relationship and he has now decided about Sarah. Hell, maybe he’ll even have a proper sit-down talk with her about it.

      The idea that Jacob did anything wrong by accepting the interest of someone not actively fleeing the area is such a reach. Let it breathe, ya’ll

      Sarah didn’t actually say she liked him romantically. She said she wanted to have sex with him, something that was already pretty clear. He responds with the same energy, mentioning something he finds attractive about her.

      He wanted someone who could say she liked him for more than his body. He was waiting for that sign from Sarah for a long time, but she’s not capable of being vulnerable like that. Lucy is obviously more than capable of expressing romantic feelings.

      Yeah I got real weird vibes off that. Jacob has historically been a good communicator and even when he got carried away with Joyce, he immediately owned it and broke up with Raidah. To flirt with Sarah the hook up in front of her feels out of character for him.

      • thejeff
        thejeff
        August 9, 2024 at 8:22 am | #

        Jacob’s historically been sort of a good communicator. He’s also been completely oblivious and very flirty with Joyce while he was with Raidah and didn’t seem to be aware that he was “leading her on” – or more accurately, showing his interest in her while not intending to act on it.
        He’s open about talking about his feelings and willing to own it and do things like break up with Raidah, but he’s not the best at understanding those feelings until blatantly confronted with them. He spoke to Raidah at one point about a history of jealous girlfriends and I suspect that’s linked to his own flirty behavior.

        Like many of us, his behavior and his stated beliefs don’t always line up. We don’t always live up to what we believe. Which is kind of funny in this case, because Sarah backed off way back when he said he didn’t just want casual sex, but this suggests she probably could have gotten him into bed if she’d just flirted a bit more. Without a real relationship first or opening about her feelings – it’s not like Lucy did any of that.

      Sarah might need a bit more emotional growth before getting into a ‘serious relationship’ tho. Or, wonder, if she had hooked up with some random guy , if she’d still wanna spend time with jacob after her post nut clarity lol

      He was interested. He kept being patient and giving her chances and she kept panicking and running away over and over again every time they got close. Then someone else came along that didn’t do that. Just because he liked her didn’t mean he was obligated to wait for her forever.

      I think Jacob was trying to be encouraging towards Sarah’s attempts at opening up to him, while also being honest about his own level of interest in her (likes her as a person, finds her attractive, but would like to get to know her more personally before he can really say whether he reciprocates her romantic interest). I don’t think he 100% nailed it, and he could definitely have handled making the jump to Lucy with more tact. But on the whole, he’s been extremely patient with her (to an extent that I actually found a little baffling at times), so I think it’s just a matter of thoughtless fumbling rather than anything more malicious/manipulative.

      Just work backwards.

      Since the last bubble laughs and says “Jacob”, that’s obviously Lucy.

      Which means Jacob says he couldn’t help himself.

      Therefor Lucy asked if he just liked her that much.

      Implying that it’s Jacob saying he took his last relationship slow after also saying he aims for 5-6 dates in the previous panel.

      Also, to further support this, if you consider how eager Lucy was to have sex with Walky despite going on 3 dates in 2 weeks, it’s arguable that she wasn’t going very slow.

    Just to over think it, was does Lucy mean by she never thought she’d go that far? That fast I get, “that far that fast” I’d get, but she didn’t think she’d ever go that fast OR that far? What did they do? Hotwire a car and drive out of state and back at 100mph?

      They went to a steakhouse and ordered salmon, didn’t pay, then broke into an office building, fucked in the break room, and then microwaved the salmon until it caught fire.

          Regrettably, I’ve never broken into an office building. In my teens, I did break into a cabin in the woods with some friends, but all we found was some activity supplies for kids.

        Going to a party, drinking, and then hooking up with a stranger is the kind of scenario where you would expect your normal routine to be thrown off. Being responsible and still making smart choices in this scenario might be seen as a bit dorky. Not necessarily in a bad way, but it implies that they are not the type to abandon their standards and be wild, at least not completely.

        I mean most people who have a surprise hookup they were not originally planning on generally wake up in the same state of undress they went to sleep in. That’s not to say it’s impossible that they had sex, then got up, dressed, brushed their teeth and put their hair in a bonnet and then went back to cuddling and fell asleep. It’s just that doing all that makes the sex seem a lot less spontanenous.

    Also I’m kinda surprised Lucy is so nonchalant about losing her virginity. I was brought up as a Catholic and even though I was very much not religious by the time I lost my virginity, it still seemed like an event, you know?

    I guess I don’t grok Lucy’s brand of Christianity; she goes to church and is a believer, but some rules she’s okay with skipping.
    I understand Billie’s Christianity much better, because she says she’s one on paper but doesn’t participate or care that much, so her “sinning” feels more on brand.
    (I should clarify that I do not think premarital sex is a sin, but I did grow up in an environment where it very much was and I assumed people who grew up in similar environments would have similar hang ups)

    As far as I could see, Lucy was pretty eager to get into sexual intimacy with Walky. To the point where it seemed like she ‘wanted him to persuade her’. Which seems understandable, if so.
    Maybe she has realised that this can happen before love is declared, as a result of the failure of declaring love.

      Yes, in college dorms you typically share the same room with a randomly assigned roommate of the same general age and gender. Men typically sleep on a different floor than the women, and sometimes a different building entirely, and are not typically supposed be in the women’s dorms overnight, same vice versa. Whether or not you even sleep in dorms differs from person to person. Some people live in the same area or city they go to college in, so sometimes they stay living with parents. Sometimes friends will get jobs and split rent on an apartment (No RA so less rules and monitoring). But the sleeping arrangements presented in the story was most likely inspired from Willis’ own time in Indiana State University, and it’s still like that today in many colleges.

        Perhaps its just because I went to school in woke California, but we did not have separate floors for men and women. Your roommate would be the same gender, but the next door neighbors might not be. No one cared about overnight guests as long as you weren’t being a nuisance.

          Yeah, no part of this is universal. Some colleges will have co-ed buildings or floors. Often different buildings at the same college will have different rules so you can to a degree pick your level of conservatism. Likewise, rules on visitors can be anywhere from “whatever, just not for too many nights in a row” (even the most hands-off college doesn’t want a Becky living there without paying) to visiting hours all the way to no visitors at all.

          So yeah it’s wildly variable but the general basics are pretty common

            It keeps your hair from rubbing against the pillow. Which, yes, does keep it from getting messy – but also keeps it from getting damaged.

            The tighter the curl of your hair, the fewer hairs you have and the less oil each hair follicle produces. This makes your hair more fragile. That’s one reason people with curly hair tend to use more product, and one reason Black people in particular are more likely to use protective hairstyles like braids – and that’s absolutely the reason Lucy and Jacob (and IIRC Sarah) cover their hair at night.

    Well this strip addressed one issue that was raised a while ago… Just how far did the relationship between ridah and Jacob go.

    Since he mentioned it “not getting that far” in his last relationship, it suggests that he and ridah never got as far as having sex. (Which, to me, would be consistent with the ridah character… Only interested in status and power, so doesn’t really want sex for the pleasure or intimacy.)

    This is assuming he had no other girlfriends between his breakup with ridah and his pickup of Lucy

      Jacob at least displayed a desire to “fool around” with Raidah, but she sent him to study.

        And it was done in a pretty casual way – not like it was the first time or something they’d been avoiding.
        OTOH, “fool around” could certainly be sex stuff less than “all the way”.

      I don’t know how “main cast” they are, but I suspect that Malaya x Marcie are not a couple; at least not romantically. We’ve seen plenty of Malaya since the 2019 end-of-storyline head-on-shoulder moment, and the only moment we’ve seen of Marcie not in roller derby since then has been one frame out of context with Malaya. Seeing as there was some ambiguity at the end of the pre-timeskip storyline whether or not Malaya liked Marcie in that way, I think it’s kind of conspicuous that we’ve seen almost none of Marcie, considering that she was almost main cast pre-timeskip. The fact that Shortpacked Malaya wasn’t interested in people *period* and only had a thing for Ultra Car, makes it seem far less likely, as that was a major part of SP Malaya’s character arc.

      Granted, for all I know they’ve been hanging out either on the Patreon pages or the sexytimes one, so if someone knows more about that, please fill me in. I can’t believe we’ve gone five years without real confirmation one way or the other.

        In one Patreon strip they are showing very explicitly as a couple. (Malaya wears a cool flannel shirt and Marcie gets all over them, kissing their neck on the floor).

    Not to be a total Sarah about this, but am I the only person who sees red flags here? In general, “this isn’t like me, I usually set much better boundaries and take a while to build up trust” is usually a big old warning sign for codependency. At least in my experience – the people I think I have such intense chemistry with that I’m willing to forgo my normal vetting process to jump into a relationship with are almost always very bad for me.

        It’s been months for Jacob – longer than the relationship lasted.

        I do think the mutual “this isn’t like me” is a sign of trouble, though not necessarily codependency.
        They barely know each other. Which isn’t necessarily a problem for having sex, but they don’t seem to be treating it as casual.
