I just looked through the tagged strips with her and saw no indication she isn’t the gender she presents as (ie female). And I would say the hijab definitely indicates she’s intending to present as female.
Though, granted, my mom friend-ness in real life extends mostly to things like ‘It’s cold out, maybe bring a jacket’ or ‘I brought granola bars with chocolate chips because I know how to get you guys to eat fibre’ type stuff.
It would be pronounced Mon-oot or mon-ut for the singular depending on region, Mon-oo-tee is the official plural and they’d be little floaty air jellyfish, adorably fuzzy, curiously floaty with a poorly-understood flight mechanism (some argue it is only “advanced floating”). Also bit of a hazard to people’s lungs, both because of it being like inhaling a bunch of hairs but also because of the stinging. People often walk into clouds of monute thinking they were gnats only to realize the unpleasant truth once their nose and mouth start burning. Their stingers otherwise have little effect on most human skin so prepared admirers can handle them carefully and enjoy their light, soft dandelion textures before they float away. “Hold your breath for a monute” is a common dad joke as well as a cautionary reminder.
And this word doesn’t come up as anything on a google so it is fair game to get muggled for someone’s fantasy series.
“Tiny airborne jellyfish” is the scariest thing since silicosis, and maybe half as scary as phosgene. In a world where we already have an airborne fungus that can be breathed in and cause Valley Fever, let us pray that no monutes, adorable or otherwise, are ever discovered.
billie, you made a mistake by starting to actually do your journalism work again. don’t you know that in a few years…… weeks… whatever, sliding timescale, people like you and i will be the first ones up against the wall?
I do not envy the folks working in the field every day, especially when they’re driving marked vehicles and relatively slow vans. That’s just an automatic 100 point stealth penalty. At least this area is pretty solid blue, so we get more trouble from idiot teenagers who think they’re funny than we do from Orange Julius superfans.
Oh, cool, there’s still a chance we can hear how Becky’s interview went!
Seriously Billie, talk about Becky and what she’s up to. I bet Nash and Rose would totally be into that. And then we’d get to learn how the interview went!
As a longtime reader of Something Positive, I can’t help thinking of Davan MacIntire’s catgirl fans. (Spoiler: it did not end well.)
Billie may believe that the Fan Girls 3 adore her, but the reality is that they worship an idol that they have constructed in their own minds. If she ever fails to be that idol, things might not go well for her either.
Is it just me, or is the shading different in this strip? It feels like there are more flat colors, and they’re a little more saturated than normal too. Maybe it’s just to make this dorm look different from the other one. (I forget their names)
So, I was watching a video and one of the guys in it mentioned people online wanting to start using “dismantled” instead of “disabled”. Has anyone else heard of this? I can’t find anything with a quick Google search, but maybe it’s just obscure?
Man, for once I relate to Billie. Sometimes when you are busy and trying to get things done, you don’t have the mind to stop and explain exactly what you are doing to random curious people; you don’t even have the mind to search for the right words so you say “things” and “stuff”. NO, that doesn’t mean I’m trying to be “mysterious” or “evasive!!!
Except that Billie is likely to be trying to be evasive, since she’s been shown to be invested in her cheerleader image here and in her mind that likely doesn’t include journalism. She’s been evasive about lots of other things in this dorm.
Oh, I think writing for the student newspaper counts as cool. Billie was the editor of the paper in high school, too, and it was part of her successful high school persona.
Her new dorm-mates are going to lap this up.
I forgot Billie existed for a bit there lol. Been so much else going on story wise for a while. Last we saw of her she was rude to Ruth and Ruth got super upset right? Hope they talk about that rather than keep drifting apart.
Nothing at all to do with today’s strip, but I’m hearing this morning about an arson fire at an animation studio in Kyoto Japan. Details are moving slowly, but anywhere from 26 to 33 artists and animation experts have been killed.
Artists. Cartoon makers. My God….
Whatever your faith or feelings, please devote some time today to their creativity and memory.
What is wrong with the people in this dorm? How did they manage to cultivate this utterly bizarre middle school social environment?
I’d find it so aggravating to live there, and I wonder if Billie is not going to feel this eventually, too. (Lucy is already feeling it.)
(This does remind me of the time in 4th grade, when my best friend read the diary of another girl in the class, which obviously was not cool and caused a lot of drama.)
I really like Forest Quad in part because it’s so out of step with the rest of the frustrating reality of college. It is weird because I’m ALSO aggravated about reality having not crushed them and made them identical drones to the rest of society.
I don’t know why I have any feelings that way and dislike that.
Hot Toys Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith 1/6 Scale Darth Vader Deluxe ($495) & Standard ($315) is up for preorder at Sideshow - shrsl.com/4wcx6 #ad

btw if you're one of those rando bluesky weirdos who doesn't know me but sees me in the wild being sarcastic and don't know i'm being sarcastic because you haven't taken like 30 seconds to, like, maybe look at my user profile or something, keep walking, you're not going to score internet points here
Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908.
"You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"
wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies
Nash is a hoot. Why is she at the bottom of the poll, anyway?
Haven’t seen much of her, maybe?
Even less back when the poll first went up.
i voted for her
She’s a hoot BECAUSE we don’t see much of her. Too much and she’d be irritating and make us nash our teeth.
A quick look shows she’s been tagged in fifteen strips, ever. We can enjoy more of her.
(Disclaimer: I voted for her too.)
I cannot decide whether to boo or applaud you.
With a pun, they’re the same thing.
Do both.
“Nash our teeth” I missed, somehow. Well done.
I like her but I tend to forget Forest quad exists unless the strip is taking place in it
Isn’t Nash they/them?
I’ve seen no such indication. Are you perhaps confusing her with Zaph?
I don’t think so, but I might have forgotten. Zaph is trans, but I don’t remember anyone else in that dorm.
I just looked through the tagged strips with her and saw no indication she isn’t the gender she presents as (ie female). And I would say the hijab definitely indicates she’s intending to present as female.
Nash, stop that. You too, actually Rose, don’t read over people’s shoulders.
Oh, Billie, honey. Pretending to be the perfect girl never goes well.
Is telling the characters how to behave every strip just your brand now?
I thought that was the entire comment section’s job!
I’ve always done that. What can I say? I’m a mom friend and now apparently I’m a mom fan.
Though, granted, my mom friend-ness in real life extends mostly to things like ‘It’s cold out, maybe bring a jacket’ or ‘I brought granola bars with chocolate chips because I know how to get you guys to eat fibre’ type stuff.
Hence the mommentary.
Hey, fictional characters are the only people it’s okay to give unsolicited mom-ing to.
I’d argue that fictional folks need it more, since authors seem intent on killing off their moms in really contrived ways.
Exactly! Or they have terrible parents! They need some mommentary.
Depends on how well you know the Real people.
My entire social circle is made up of people who Mom the rest of the circle.
Gets really funny when they try to out-Mom each other.
Perfection is boring anyway
“No problem, I’ll leave you to it. It’s 3:00, that gives me only half an hour to paw through your garbage before it’s emptied.”
“What, do you go through my trash?”
“Please. I go through everyone’s trash.”
Is that a Pearl quote?
The Question.
You fibber, Pearl doesn’t have any lines in that episode.
Hey, haven’t seen that plot thread in a hot monute.
I promise I’m not making fun of you. Monute sounds like a cool biology word. What would a monute be, if there were monutes?
My brain is saying it’s got to be related in some way to manatees
I think that it’s the ur-marmot.
A protozoa-like critter that causes foot odor (in manatees?)
(Yes, I know manatees don’t have feet. That’s why we’ve never discovered monutes.)
It would be pronounced Mon-oot or mon-ut for the singular depending on region, Mon-oo-tee is the official plural and they’d be little floaty air jellyfish, adorably fuzzy, curiously floaty with a poorly-understood flight mechanism (some argue it is only “advanced floating”). Also bit of a hazard to people’s lungs, both because of it being like inhaling a bunch of hairs but also because of the stinging.

Party encounters 2d4 Monute Clouds in coastal areas.
“Tiny airborne jellyfish” is the scariest thing since silicosis, and maybe half as scary as phosgene. In a world where we already have an airborne fungus that can be breathed in and cause Valley Fever, let us pray that no monutes, adorable or otherwise, are ever discovered.
A Hot Monute is clearly some sort of fire-type pokémon. Ultimately evolves into the Last Monute.
monute – a minute in-story, a month in RL
To the untrained eye, it looks like a news article. For those in the know, she’s clearly playing a journalism-themed MUD.
MUDs, there is a term I haven’t heard in a long time
Should I have said MUSH instead? Admittedly, I haven’t played any since high school, and even then I could barely figure them out.
There are still some MUDs around with a decent number of people playing them. I play one called Gemstone IV.
Oh shit, I vaguely recall Gemstone III back on prodigy.
Ell! Ay! Pee! Pee! Tee! Oh! Pee! Pee!
LAPPTOPP!
LAPPTOPP!
Scoodly-oop BAP dee-adah, LAPTOP
(it was a hit in the 1940s)
Oh hey, these two, been a hot minute.
Also, forgot Billie doesn’t wear her glasses around this wing much. Hope she’s got some contacts in.
Glasses are for people who don’t have a compulsive need to submit to brown-nosers.
billie, you made a mistake by starting to actually do your journalism work again. don’t you know that in a few years…… weeks… whatever, sliding timescale, people like you and i will be the first ones up against the wall?
Too real.
I don’t have a pithy comment, but there’s an Internet hug here if you need it.
I do not envy the folks working in the field every day, especially when they’re driving marked vehicles and relatively slow vans. That’s just an automatic 100 point stealth penalty. At least this area is pretty solid blue, so we get more trouble from idiot teenagers who think they’re funny than we do from Orange Julius superfans.
Oh, cool, there’s still a chance we can hear how Becky’s interview went!
Seriously Billie, talk about Becky and what she’s up to. I bet Nash and Rose would totally be into that. And then we’d get to learn how the interview went!
LOL the power of favoritism I was neutral about this and then you reminding me about the Becky connection has got me all atwitter.
Billie is going to regret being idolized by these girls.
As a longtime reader of Something Positive, I can’t help thinking of Davan MacIntire’s catgirl fans. (Spoiler: it did not end well.)
Billie may believe that the Fan Girls 3 adore her, but the reality is that they worship an idol that they have constructed in their own minds. If she ever fails to be that idol, things might not go well for her either.
As I recall the Will Weaton of that universe is no longer ambidextrous. Since he lacks the requisite number of hands to be ambidextrous.
I know the girls in this hall are in general pretty nice, but I think I would find their nosey behavior irritating after a while.
Gosh, you’d be irritated by having instances of SCP-001-A as dorm mates? I guess I could see it.
Yo are on fire tonight.
Well, ya better put the poor fellow out! Huh-ha! Huh-ha!
: |
I’m surprised Billie wasn’t more annoyed at their nosiness.
Tomorrow’s newspaper headline: PLAGUE OF NOSEY-PARKERISM IN FORREST QUAD CONTINUES UNABATED.
Billie ALSO wants to gossip… but she has work to do.
Interesting that Billie got a slight redesign on her lips. Just pointing it out.
Has she had lips before?
She wore lipstick for her date with Ruth, so that’s one piece of evidence for her lips existing.
“My art teacher wants me to stop making up anatomy that doesn’t exist.”
Exactly. Well except for that time Sunny mentioned.
sometimes i wonder if i’ve been/i am a billie and then wonder what that means for life. i just wanna be cool, man
You can find books on how to be cool (and lots of other books, too) at your local library.
If you ever see a copy of True Hip by Ignatius Jones, take it as heartily recommended. “Instant style for the modern desperado”.
Is it just me, or is the shading different in this strip? It feels like there are more flat colors, and they’re a little more saturated than normal too. Maybe it’s just to make this dorm look different from the other one. (I forget their names)
So, I was watching a video and one of the guys in it mentioned people online wanting to start using “dismantled” instead of “disabled”. Has anyone else heard of this? I can’t find anything with a quick Google search, but maybe it’s just obscure?
Being dismantled sounds like the worse option, honestly.
Right? It sounds a lot more active, like something deliberate was done to the person. It brings to mind images of mad scientists or alien vivisection.
It sounds like what happened in Connie Swap Episode 35. :/ It was not pretty.
No disassemble! No disassemble!
Dismantled sounds like you have limbs and other bits removed from ya.
Even worse than that…that would be amputation or dismemberment (depending on how and why it happened)…
Dismantling isn’t something that’s done to humans, or even animals…it’s something done to inanimate objects.
That’s a seriously dehumanizing phrasing.
It sounds like a joke an amputee would make to make light of their own situation. Which is always something I dig
I still can’t get used to Billie with her hair open…
Hey Billie! Tired of the boot-licking yet?
I love these nosy and annoying characters so much.
In which Billie learns that most of her problems appears to be other people!
I don’t buy this…some large portion of her problems are definitely from herself, not from any other people.
Yeah but since when is Billie very observant.
At least put your glases on when using a computer~
Man, for once I relate to Billie. Sometimes when you are busy and trying to get things done, you don’t have the mind to stop and explain exactly what you are doing to random curious people; you don’t even have the mind to search for the right words so you say “things” and “stuff”. NO, that doesn’t mean I’m trying to be “mysterious” or “evasive!!!

Oh, I think writing for the student newspaper counts as cool. Billie was the editor of the paper in high school, too, and it was part of her successful high school persona.
Her new dorm-mates are going to lap this up.
Journalism ‘isn’t what her dorm mates pictured’ about her, so she doesn’t talk about it.
Maybe this kind of journalism?
Ugh..people who read someone else’s journal are the worst! It’s a huge violation of the privacy.
It looks like Rose is trying out for a job as Clippy. Would she like a CV template?
Intended meta joke? Great stuff.
I forgot Billie existed for a bit there lol. Been so much else going on story wise for a while. Last we saw of her she was rude to Ruth and Ruth got super upset right? Hope they talk about that rather than keep drifting apart.
Billie should hook up with one of her henchwomen and get the Ruth out of her system.
Then find out Ruth didn’t realize they were broken up.
BECAUSE DRAMA.
Nothing at all to do with today’s strip, but I’m hearing this morning about an arson fire at an animation studio in Kyoto Japan. Details are moving slowly, but anywhere from 26 to 33 artists and animation experts have been killed.
Artists. Cartoon makers. My God….
Whatever your faith or feelings, please devote some time today to their creativity and memory.
Oh My God, that’s horrible.
Forest Billie reminds me of Mary…
That’s being really generous towards Mary.
What is wrong with the people in this dorm? How did they manage to cultivate this utterly bizarre middle school social environment?
I’d find it so aggravating to live there, and I wonder if Billie is not going to feel this eventually, too. (Lucy is already feeling it.)
