      I like that Walky’s reaction to her sweetness is to be creeped out rather than charmed.

      Let’s be real sunset in this comic basically just means we’re about to see the world implode; between Amber and Sal’s last two evenings I was visibly alarmed to see it was now dark out because that means the _monsters_ are coming.

      Lucy isn’t used to being solitary.

      But a genuine connection with one person (especially someone like Walky who is really good with emotions) is far better than many superficial connections with the rest of the people on her floor.

          Yeah, Walky’s historical response to difficult emotions has been to tune them out, by his own admission: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/03-answers-in-hennessy/to-navigate/

            He can’t manage his OWN but he has serious skill at being the supportive boyfriend. He de-stressed Dorothy and defused Amber, now he’s being there for Lucy when the world is deserting her.

              Walky’s been a pretty great boyfriend thus far, yeah (though, tbf, nobody knows the extent of Amber’s problems). He does have a problem with trouble, but it’s also true that sometimes supporting family and supporting dates are very different matters. (Especially when the problem is you are finally, finally noticing your parents are bigoted, abusive tools).

        OK, while “good with emotions” may not be exactly the phrase you’re looking for, I will say that Walky does care a lot for his girlfriends; whenever he just gets past his own toxic upbringing.

        “I just want you to be able to everythin’ you wanna do.” is how it finally ended with Dorothy. And that is probably my favourite Walky moment ever, in all its sadness.

        The phrase goes “If you love someone, set them free.” How many stories do we ever see where that actually happens, as opposed to “if you love someone, pursue them forever and ever”. Not very often.

        And this one went one step further, because the saying (and thus the stories) often continues with how they will/should then come back on their own accord. This time, that is not likely to happen. Walky certainly doesn’t expect it to happen. And he said it anyway. He truly and fully meant those words.

        Walky has a lot of growth to do in many areas… But strip away his eternal “I’ll laugh this off” attitude, and you’ll find that he does care about other people. Very deeply.

          One of the things I really love about this comic is that so many characters are mostly defined by their surface defense mechanisms, but you get just enough glimpses past that to what’s really underneath. If you’re paying attention, that is.
          If you’re not it’s easy to just write them off based on the surface.

        My guess is that Lucy is used to being solitary. Like, too used to it. I’m guessing she was lonely in highschool and that’s why she’s no pushy to make friends now

          Yeah, that’s definitely my read on her too. Her wariness about Billie’s cheerleader status gives me the impression she had a pretty not great time at high school and “cool” kids had a hand in it.

        As much as this was just a reference to a video I loved in middle school, fun fact about me: I might only have one kidney! I’m not sure! And, like, how many people who have yet to have kidney problems are truly aware of how many kidneys they have?

          In my case, I had a congenital cyst that generally develops around the same time as the kidneys and may result in only one kidney happening, but not necessarily. So like. Who knows.

              In utero I could see it coming up, but maybe it just didn’t, or it was hard to tell? But after that, definitely not to mine or my parents’ recollection. If I have one kidney, it’s doing the job well enough not to cause me any issues, so there hasn’t been a ton of reason to check post-birth. I also didn’t find out this was a thing until I was 22 and had the (by that time very large) cyst removed, and a doctor was like, “By the way, sometimes when this happens, you only have one kidney. Crazy, right?”

                  If you mean during the surgery, they didn’t have to cut me open for it, and the ultrasounds and stuff leading up to it were focused lower than where the kidneys would be. I did want to be like, “Well…can we check on that?” But I already had the various bills from the surgery and wasn’t really feeling like any more appointments.

                  Ah, that makes more sense. I thought it was a surgery, so they would have been in there anyway, so looking to verify a kidney was actually present would have been trivial.

              I was born long before ultrasound was even available for fetal monitoring. As far as I can tell, ultrasound wasn’t routine before the 80s.

              After birth, if a baby appears to be healthy, and there’s no reason to put them through some kind of screening (x-ray, CAT scan, ultrasound, MRI), they could have one kidney and never know it, and be happy and healthy. (One kidney is all you need, assuming it’s functioning properly.)

                My sister was born in ’92. Mum had scans with her because she was an ‘older mother’ at 34. She didn’t get them with my brother (’82) or me (’84).

                Blood flow to kidneys was one of the things they checked in utero with my two bubs (’14) and (’17) as part of the routine scans.

              No. Kidneys and cysts look alike, and soft tissue is not easy to differentiate generally, and the best way involves maybe 14 grays of exposure. If you show no symptoms, nobody will look.

      I could see it being like, she’s reflecting on how she’s so used to being alone (if she was, pre-college) that even the group activity she had planned was a “solitary activity” and she hadn’t even realized it.

      Or, like, a million other things. She’s looking down at the tools she’s gonna use to cut Walky open. I don’t know.

      I assume it has something to do with her massive insecurity towards people liking her (compounded by every interaction she had with Malaya and Billie) and Walky’s answer being less “being here with you was nice” and more “watching movies alone is nice”

        So far we have 2 confirmed sexual partners for Walky and 2 confirmed for Joe. The question becomes what we’re going to do about potential-but-not-confirmed sexual partners, of which Joe has at least one, and about sexual partners who didn’t show up in the story because it all took place off-panel.

        So, in short, I don’t think Walky’s getting laid more than Joe.

          Three confirmed for Joe (Roz, Penny & Malaya). I suspect there weren’t any others and it was all just bluster, but it’s possible.

          Depending on what counts, only one for Walky. He made out with Amber, but there’s no indication it went farther than that.

          Of course, if you go from “number of sexual partners” to “number of times having sex”, Walky almost certainly wins. Sex seemed to be a pretty regular thing with Walky and Dorothy.
          Which matches my college experience: The boring people who paired off into couples had a lot more sex than the supposed studs who were trying to score with different girls every party.

              A couple of times at least. The sex tape and the slipshine. Implied others. When Roz couldn’t find someone she liked better. Heavily implied to have ended sometime before the list came out as Roz got tired of his shit.

      I have trouble thinking of Walky as having drama. I mean, sure he accidentally started dating the person who stabbed his twin, but that kind of wasn’t his fault? And he seems to be handling it in a pretty low-drama way, all things considered. (I haven’t forgotten his lurking outside Sal’s door, but that seems more like semi-deliberate slapstick than real drama.)

      Drama around him doesn’t seem to change who he is or how he behaves. He’s got a lot of integrity that way. “You need to sort out your drama” reads to me like “You need to stop reacting in a bad and unusual way to this thing that’s thrown you off-center.” But Walky isn’t off-center.

      So, aside from making a simple decision about Amber (and hopefully communicating it to her) I don’t really see that Walky needs to do any changing before getting together with Lucy … if that’s going to happen, which somehow I feel like it won’t.

        I think of it more “you need to get a handle on all of the shit going on in your life and that requires your full attention right now.” Walky has drama heading his way he’s not even aware of (Amber changing his grades). Dude’s got a lot going on and he needs to buckle down and deal with it instead of finding distractions.

    *tilts head* . . . I can’t tell if Walky is being purposely dense or if he really is just that naturally dense. Also I think I only half support this ship. I want Lucy to be happy mind. . . but then again it is WALKY we are talking about and his emotional depth. . .is not the most evolved.

    Oh no! What if Lucy is on the run from the cops and travels town to town to murder way macho dudes and stealing their shirts for her trophy wall?

    It’s be real nice if walkthrough were just like “hey I’ve had two breakups in the span of a week and I’m really not emotionally in a spot to entertain the thought of a new relationship, because I think I’m one bad relationship away from mental implosion” and then Lucy was like “Oh hey that is understandable. As much as I think you are fuckable, because I am a good person, let me back off but also be friendly and supportive and just help you through this difficult time, out of genuinely selfless motivations, because I just like you as a person.

    I don’t think that’s what’s gonna happen, because they are stupid college kids. But, you know, it’d be nice.

    Walky would be surprised when Lucy turns out to be a Repoman working for Roti Largo and his murderous children.

    Also, it’s sad that Lucy was left alone by her supposed friends. I hate the term sheeple for it’s right wing implications, but her friends seem like sheep. Again, that term is offensive to both people and sheep.

      Hobestly, I don‘t think what Lucy thinks of her friends EVER were her friends.

      From what I‘ve seen the relationship basically consisted out of lucy mistaking their superfluous politeness for friendship. And Lucy ran after them and the more clingy she got, the less they wanted to do with her.

      But since polite people don‘t yell at their roommates and Lucy’s a bit desperate, she missed all the „nope, I‘m just cordial, don‘t WANT a friendship“ signals from the others.

    I’m extremely neutral about these two as a ship, but if she and Walky could just be fun nerd friends, I think that’d be really great. Lucy’s obviously pretty starved for reliable friendships, and I think she’d ultimately enjoy it more than getting mired in Walky’s romance problems.

    I think it could be fun to see Lucy mired in Walky’s romance problems as long as she’s not one of them. They could both use a kind friend with whom they don’t already have complicated ties and maybe they could end up supporting each other’s growth in a good way. I think they could learn from each other in other ways, too, like Walky gets a good look at what it looks like to put real effort into making friends instead of just waiting for them basically to fall in your lap and Lucy could see what it’s like to have a bit more…chill, I guess?

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
