“would it help if I specified the plural y’all or singlar y’all”
“no”
Not only would it not help in this context, it would not help in any context conceivable by humanity.
The part of me that was raised in the South winces everytime someone uses “y’all” in the singular sense.
It just… hurts.
I wasn’t even raised in the US of A, and why on Earth would you ever use y’all in the singular, the mind boggles.
Explain the royal use of singular “we”
There is a concept that the King has two bodies: the actual physical body, and the body of the state. One is transitory, and the other is eternal. Hence “the king is dead, long live the king.”
“You all is plural, if there’s only one just say you.” -Michael Reno Harell- Souther Suggestions.
Northerner here with a serious question: If y’all is singular, what does that make “all y’all”? Or is the latter something Hollywood etc have made up?
“Y’all” is plural. “All y’all” means “All of you here.” I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL, FIGHT ME.
“Y’all” can be associative plural, e.g. you’re talking to one person but you mean “you and your family,” “you and your friends,” you and your schoolmates,” etc.
True singular “y’all” is mostly a product of non-Southern writers not understanding the concept of “associative plural,” but my Jackson-born linguist friend tells me it occasionally makes an appearance in border states.
yinz just can’t stop
Wikipedia credits both Yinz and Y’all as having Scots-Irish roots. What never shows up in a web search for a western Pennsylvania speech curiosity is “Yull” (rhymes with lull)
I keep hearing “yinz” as being Western Pennsylvania, but my former boss occasionally says “yinz” or maybe “yiz” and he’s from the Philadelphia area (I believe he grew up in rural New Jersey but was close to Philly.) Is that a thing, or is he just an outlier?
So, Ryek Hvek is saying that the Southerners originally came from Ireland or Scotland?
I thought people lived in the south and Southerners came out of nowhere.
Speech, no matter where it’s spoken, is more likely to have a traceable origin, than it is to have emerged spontaneously where spoken. To keep it comics connected, one prominent character in the history of Texas, as documented by Jack Jackson, was definitely of Scots origin, and the state does have a Robertson County.
What all the actual Southrons and actual linguists said.
Not even one thing the actual Yankees said.
So you’re saying that my friend who was born and raised in Jackson, MS (and whose childhood neighbor was Eudora Welty), and who taught at MSU in Starkville until she retired, and who is a linguist who specializes in American dialects — didn’t know what she was talking about?
As best I understand it, the appropriate thing to say here would be “Bless your heart,” but it’s not my dialect and I don’t really know.
Yeah, “Bless your heart” is the proper response here.
“I’ll pray for you” is also a solid response.
I’ve lived almost my entire life in south Texas, and I have NEVER heard anyone in real life say “Y’all” to mean one person.
But then where does “y’alls” fit in?
That’s possessive.
Ex: “Y’all’s dog keeps barking.”
But,
What if you are talking to someone in second person who considers themselves gender fluid/multigender…
And uses “They/ Them” pronouns?
But… How does that relate to saying “you?” I mean, I don’t care what pronouns a person uses, you don’t call them “they” when you’re talking TO them.
It’s emphatic. Same as referring to a group as “you” or “all of you”.
Y’all should never ever be singular, since it’s pretty much a reaction to you taking on the meaning of the now-defunct thou, the second person singular. Language is already confusing and frustrating for my brain, please don’t make the parts that make sense not make sense.
I think singular y’all is a Texas dialectal thing, with all y’all being plural. In most other dialects of American English with y’all (or you-all), it’s plural. Something I’ve noticed, but haven’t seen anything academic on, is they-all as plural they.
I’m reaching way out of my depth here, but in a way Texas is to dialects what California is to geology. There are just so many overlays from so many different directions.
Molly Ivins: “The first real Texan I ever saw on TV was King of the Hill‘s Boomhauer, the guy who’s always drinking beer and you can’t understand a word he says.”
I’m from Texas. Y’all are over thinking this.
Microclimates would probably be a little more appropriate an analogy, given the geological analogy implies geological timescales are a factor in the mixing of dialects. Which, in general, they are not.
But as long as we’re mincing words (which is after all the source of dialects), the source of “y’all” is slurred speech. It’s a contraction. It doesn’t need a singular origin, because anyone can easily invent it independently of awareness of its common use.
I did that as a kid on the West Coast.
<– Texas native. "Y'all" is definitely NOT singular here. People saying "y'all" to mean one person get funny looks and sometimes laughed at, depending on how much of a fake Texas drawl is being used to deliver it.
To be fair: I am a lifelong southerner and I’ve never heard anyone use “y’all singlular” who wasn’t from elsewhere.
So you want plural y’all? As in, y’alls?
*flees for dear abomination-uttering life*
I may or may not have used “y’alls” before. The y’all I see at work and the y’all I talk to socially are two separate y’alls, and it would be nice if y’all could kindly keep it that way.
I think he might’ve meant Amber and Amzi-Girl.
Amazi-Girl, not Amzi.
Given that Amazi-Girl refers to herself as “us” two panels before, Walky’s use of “y’all” is correct. Amazi-Girl sees herself as two different people.
No, Amazi-Girl sees herself as one person and Amber as another. They share a distant history and a body. And apparently a whole lot of fighting skills and reflexes so it’s not like their brain’s capacity is overtaxed.
Well, the fighting skills make sense. The muscle memory and reflexes would certainly carry over, even if they hadn’t been sharing memories when they learned those skills.
I have to agree that Walky was referring to the collective sharing the body, in which case, his use of y’all is correct.
Uh, @David, panel 3, Amazi-Girl calls themselves “us” in referring to both Amber and Amazi-Girl.
The part of me that was raised in Texas understands that y’all is very often used in the singular, regardless of how many southerners claim that it never ever is
As a Californian who has taught Texans, this is not only true, but they also are so damn _proud_ of it.
I have never heard any fellow Texan who was proud of doing any such thing. I HAVE heard plenty of Texans bongo about people who use it in the singular.
In fact, at work, a bunch of us who were born and raised here had to educate someone from up north about how “y’all” is not singular, because they’d only ever heard it used on TV and in movies.
Y’all is the singular. All y’all is plural. It’s for when there’s more than one of y’all.
You do hear that said. But it doesn’t seem to be true in most places that use “y’all”, according to most people who’ve looked into it. Instead “all y’all” is usually, and very simply, “all of y’all”.
No. Y’all is plural. We have a word for singular y’all. It’s “you”.
“All y’all” is “all of you”.
UCH.
“All y’all” is “All of you where ‘you’ is plural.”
Y’all, you all, is for more than one and alla y’all, all of you all, means everyone.
“All y’all” has a reliance on nonverbal cues, in the way that this entire family of noncount pronouns (including “y’all” and “you”) also does.
You (and by extension, any observers) must be aware of your audience’s composition in order to determine whether any of these terms is singular, plural, or includes all present parties besides the speaker.
The reason there is variance in the use and therefore implied plurality of these terms is because the context in which one’s dialogue is composed dictates the level of specificity these terms are assigned. Otherwise there would be no variance, as with “me”, “him”, “her”, and “it”.
Similar case with the TES phrase “this one”, that is used by Khajit. If you were lacking context, you could easily miss the fact that it refers to the speaker, and might assume they were indicating an item or another person.
Contextual relevance is why people gesture when they speak. It’s because their language lacks a certain degree of specificity.
See, this is why I love this forum. It starts as an interesting discussion about dialect in the American south, and ends up talking about how cat people from an old computer game (which I just happen to have started playing recently) talk about themselves in the third person.
I’d wonder if this was the most interesting tangent I created, but there was one that apparently exploded into something so terrible that Willis had to bring down the ban hammer and erase most of it
(unfortunately? I have no idea what happened)
Canadian here, so my only understanding is through reading, but I always understood “Y’all” to be either singular or plural, depending on context?
Y’all is singular, all y’all is plural
So say we all, Walky.
So say we all.
…or maybe it’s just me.
This makes me think, we have y’all as a word, why does no one use w’all?
So say w’all.
The people who say “y’all” for second-person plural say, for first-person plural, “we-uns.” Not to be confused with “weenus.”
People who use “we uns” usually say “you uns” for 2nd person plural.
Maybe because ‘wall’ is already a dictionary word?
I doubt those who coined the word were ever anywhere near a dictionary.
Be nice, they might have burned it for heat.
In Texas right now it’s about 980 degrees. We’re not burnin’ ANYTHING for heat, thankyewverymuch.
Yeah, more like burning IN the heat. Sheesh. At least today it only got up to 95.
Yeah, “only.” Again, sheesh.
I like this.
Horny For Y’all might make a good band name.
Or not.
In my life, I have owned albums by the Barenaked Ladies, the Butthole Surfers, and Hootie and the Blowfish.
Horny For Y’all would fit right in.
Actually it would be on the end.
Get with the times. It’s horny-for-yall.tumblr.com.
Getting with the times, I’m not so sure tumblr would still go for that.
The NSFW ban led to them going after visual nudity, not words, or urls. I’ve seen way worse than “horny-for-yall” as a url, believe you me.
I follow several erotic tumblr blogs that just consist of naughty words with zero context
Wouldn’t it be a Soundcloud account if it’s a band name?
That would be a perfect follow-up to a tweet taking off.

“You could’ve stopped five words earlier”
No, I don’t think he could.
**goes by whistling**
Oh hey. There’s Garbage Scow, puffin’ along.
The guy is known for his lack of a filter.
Yeah. AG should be glad he stopped himself when he did, right?
I like that Walkie’s Southern is coming out. Next thing you know he’ll be carrying a gallon of Sweet Tea with him throughout campus.
. . .Huh. . If someone gets into a relationship with someone with two personalities and gets into a relationship with BOTH personalities. . . is that considered cheating? Polyamory?
Also as a side note I adore Amazi-girl’s facial expressions here.
. . .Also it is bad that the best cultural representation of Separate Personalities like this that I can think of is M. Night. Shyamalan’s Split?
It depends on the communication and the persons involved, and also yes, it is very bad.
Walky isn’t Southern, only Sal went to Tennessee
He grew up in Evansville, right across the Ohio from Kentucky.
Depending on which map you consult, the dialect may be shared.
Evansville, at least in terms of accent, is much closer to “Midwest City” than “Southern”. Think Louisville, Cincinnati, Lexington more than, say, Paducah KY.
Source: I’m from northern KY, my partner is from Evansville.
Historically speaking, southern Indiana was settled by southerners moving north, while northern Indiana was settled by non-southerners moving west. While no part of Indiana is “southern” by Southern standards, in terms of culture and language, there is kind of a North-South gradient in the state, with the dividing line right around Bloomington.
Evansville, the largest city in southern Indiana, is not in the south but it is kinda sorta is southern-ish. The border of the border.
Considering how it was mentioned in the comments yesterday that Split is an absolutely terrible depiction of DID, I’d say the answer to that last question is an emphatic “yes”.
Walky is from Indiana. He’s not Southern. But he might’ve picked up “y’all” from Sal.
Evansville is the border of the border. I’ve only visited Louisville twice, and both times only briefly, and only once did I cross the bridge to Evansville…but even though I can’t quantify the difference, Louisville is southern, while Evansville is more south-ish.
Oh hey, I’m actually someone in that exact scenario! We consider it polyamory because it’s with everyone’s consent and we’re a triad all dating each other.
(There are other people in the system I’m not dating though which complicates things a little haha.)
I’ve known people with multiple personalities who navigated dating and its basically like a weird polyamory. You have to do a lot of communicating to make sure everyone’s on the same page and people don’t get hurt.
It’ll depend a little on how separate the personalities are.
Now the FUN question is “if a personality the partner isn’t dating pretends to be another to trick them into sex is it rape?”
There’s a show United States of Tara that kind of explored it a little because the “main” personality was married and iirc didn’t like her husband fucking anyone else but one of her personalities was horny so.
Haven’t seen it… Is it better than Identity? (which at least has John Cusack in it)
Wanted to mention I remembered Sakura Taisen/Sakura Wars 5(?) has Gemini/Geminine Sunrise, who also delineate themselves with a mask
I’m not 100% sure if Alluka/Nanika in Hunter x Hunter count since I’m missing a few books that might reveal if that’s DID or something else related to the Dark Continent and I don’t want to check spoilers, but I really enjoy how the storyline is treated
For cultural representations of multiple personalities, might I suggest “Sybil?” I read it when I was in high school, and found it to be a fascinating story. Spoiler: It’s based on a true story.
“Same recognizes same” is going to be my new version of “large emotion”, which is how I say “big mood” to traumatize my students.
…. Yeah. Oddly enough this is what I expected.
Walky’s too…. stagnant.
It might help Amber feel better in the short-term, it might be what she needs, but he’s never gonna push her to feel better.
Though this whole, “I’m gonna just barrel through and ignore your intense mental health issues” might be an act, I kinda….. doubt it.
He’s kinda doing the opposite of ignoring them. He even immediately switches to plurals to refer to her
He’s like, “so you have two personalities, I can deal with this.”
Yes to this
Maybe that’s what he’s doing, it is Walky after all. In his shoes though I’d be holding off discussing mental issues until I could talk to Amber and get her read on how or if to talk to Amazegirl about that subject.
He’s talking to the saner and more mature one of the two.
But Amber’s the one he knows better and is sort of dating, so maybe still talk to her first.
And “saner and more mature” is debatable at best. Amazi-Girl is the one who dresses up in the funny costume and goes out to fight crime. Or, not too long ago, to stalk and harass Sal.
Damn Walky, good job standing up for yourself and saying “Um no, that was a shitty thing to say.”
Also, incredibly rare that he got AG to admit she did something wrong
Yeah this looks like progress! Also somehow his acknowledgement of her two identities seems to have helped her be slightly less split – she said “us”! As in ‘coming from us.’
Amazi-Girl would find it considerably less “garbage fire” of Amber if Walky clarified that it’s NOT actually cheating on Dorothy like AG thinks it is, because Dorothy dumped him. And by extension, that Amber is partitioning AG’s shared memory access harder. Which Walky actually noticed but got imbalanced from thinking about by the rapidly shifting and intense conversation. Maybe they’ll double back around.
But if they do, AG will learn by extension, Amber seems to be resisting AG more.
“But if I didn’t tell you I’m horny for y’all, how would we bone dressed as superheroes in about five minutes?”
Ouch, Amazi-Girl.
I do find it kind of amusing that, while both Amber and Amazi-Girl were/are?? attracted to Danny, Amazi-Girl doesn’t seem terribly impressed with Walky.
To be fair did she interact with Walky much, outside of being chased by Dorothy and him that one time?
They hung out on the roof at least once – before the time when it was Amber dressed as AG.
They’ve been in 22 strips together as of today, including several where they don’t interact at all. Pretty much all their interaction so far has been the time he and Dorothy chased her, and the time he shared his care package cookies on Garbage Roof.
Does that mean Walky needs to Dan up?
Amber’s relationship with Walky is based less on physicality and more on the open sharing policy of Garbage Roof, an experience which AG hasn’t had (and maybe doesn’t need the way Amber did).
Word of god may prove me wrong but it really seems, to me, that amber and amazigirl have been getting more and more separate.
When she and Danny were together Amazigirl was just a mask she put on. She felt she could speak for Amazigirl because she WAS Amazigirl. So when they went on their fake date it was basically him and his girlfriend without realizing it.
Now they’re so distinct that they don’t even share memories.
AG thinks Walky’s still with Dorothy. She’s not impressed with cheaters.
Walky your honesty is refreshing and once again probably goes to far but hey, at least there is no miscommunication.
It’s very telling that the only thing Amber and Amazi-girl can agree on now a days is how much they think Amber is shit.
Yeah, and it makes me like AG less. Like, it’s not healthy or attractive to be as hard on yourself as Amber is, but it’s even less so doing it from outside.
Well AG thinks Amber is willing to cheat on Dorothy just to get Walky because of incomplete memories.
Cheat on Dorothy? You mean Wakky cheating on Dorothy or I missed something important…
Amazi-Girl’s expression in the last panel is great. She looks so done
Walky is so *close* to getting it and then he’s not quite actually *there*– like, he’s now aware of what’s going on with Amber but he doesn’t see it as a problem.
He does though. He explicitly recognizes the role of self loathing in defining the partition boundaries. But Walky is also ok with being filled with self loathing, because thats his life too. He sees she’s got problems, but he knows he isn’t in a position to pass judgement. He’s just being open and honest with her, although perhaps too open. It might be the healthiest interaction yet for Amber.
I think it’s good for them. Amber has a thing where she thinks she is the Absolute Worst More than Anyone Else, which is actually fairly egotistical. On Garbage Roof, Wally sharing his issues helped her see she’s not alone and not the only one who feels that way. Now the AG identity is also getting the same treatment – getting the ‘I am the Absolute Worst’ (or amber is) narrative taken down a peg and put into perspective. It seems to be having a fast effect too!
Honestly, I’m kinda…into this? Walky’s engaging with the situation head-on and not getting caught up in the…everything. It’s something like acceptance. It feels like this will end in growth for all of them.
By his own admission, he’s not exactly engaging his calculus responsibilities head on. But with people he likes, hmm yes working on it.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, didn’t, AG.
He could have stopped MANY words earlier on MANY occessions. Never once stoped his mouth from keep moving.
If Walky ends up in a ménage à trois with Amber and Amazi-Girl I will laugh like a drain.
I’m…. not sure how that would work? I mean, taking turns doesn’t count, does it?
…. also, it feels kinda wrongish discussing something serious like DID as if it’s kink-fuel.
It’s hypothetically possible. After all, right now, Amazi-Girl and Amber are non-communicative. So there is no reason why Walky could not have distinct interactions with both psyches without reference to the other and which he keeps secret for his own reasons.
FWIW, though, I don’t think he’s that sort of guy.
It happens! I’m polyamorous and dating a couple people in a system (but not, like, the whole system).
(I know you’re worried about joking about something serious like multiplicity/DID, and I totally respect that, but I actually teared up in a good way seeing people mention this option, even as a joking possibility. I have never seen my specific circumstances discussed, ever, so seeing it mentioned so offhandedly was… really nice? ;~;)
(That said UHHH Amber and Amazi-Girl really need to get their shit together before jointly dating someone, they don’t seem to share many memories anymore. Not the best way to navigate relationships!)
Sorry to have given the impression that think is a joking matter. In my parlance one laughs like a drain specifically when things are not funny.
Oh, nah, I was actually replying to Reltzik! They said something that implied they felt weird about making a mockery about something serious like DID (or at least, that was my read, feel free to correct me if I was wrong).
IMO, it’s actually really nice seeing people bringing these concepts in a relatively neutral way, however theoretical this discussion may be.
I distinguish between “threesome” as meaning a sex act and “ménage à trois” as a kind of polyromantic relationship. You can have either without the other.
Yes, it would feel wrong to discuss something as serious as DID as tjough it were kink fuel. Good thing that I am doing nothing even remotely like that.
Please back off with the censorious attitude.
Isn’t that kinda what Danny did, except she wasn’t as split then?
Kind of? Danny didn’t fully grasp her state of mental health, and assumed dating one personality meant he was automatically dating both. From Amber’s perspective, that’s not how it works.
And yeah, back at that point in the story I got the impression that Amber was deliberately making the split between “Amber” and “Amazi-Girl”, and Danny was disrespecting that.
Now I’m shipping both of her non-communicating personalities with Walky. Damn it.
The real question is if having sex with your girlfriend’s Alter counts as cheating.
Not when everyone involved knows, understands, and consents, surely? It would be a kind of poly relationship.
^ This! This is how it works for us.
This strip makes me a little sad for the characters and at the same time I can’t deny that it’s pretty cute.
Hey, um, I know it’s kind of late and all, but, does anyone know what happened to Cerberus? I haven’t seen her in … years, I think. And considering she’s said of her history, I’m honestly worried something bad happened to her.
She was commenting less than 24h ago
She showed up yesterday and commented several times. She is at least doing well enough to respond to the Cerberus Signal and do some educating where it needs to be done.
She also pops up on patreon when she’s not on main.
Well, sometimes. Damn the lack of an edit feature.
I’ve been wondering this too. I remember back when I used to check the comic mostly to read her awesome comments. I hope she’s okay
I knew I should have checked yesterday. This is what happens when you’re a filthy casual. (Sorry Cerb!)
My own habit when checking out the comic is to ctrl+F the comments for Cerb’s name, read comment and any surrounding comments for context if applicable, ctrl+F for Willis’s name, read comment and any surrounding comments for context if applicable, then if there’s something I want to comment, ctrl+F for if someone’s already said something similar and read comment and any surrounding comments if applicable. If I am still hanging about I may then skim/read the rest of comments, depending. Also if I’ve made a comment on a particular day, I try to go back and check for replies after the following day’s strip goes up.
Cerberus is a treasure.
I aten’t dead.
and we’re all very glad of that!
Fuck yeah! <3
I get that relationship drama is important but Amazi-Girl has yet to notice or address how Walky’s mask amazingly made him develop irises all of a sudden
Maybe it’s because those masks do the same thing for her? She has dot eyes like Walky. The Amazi-Mask adds sclera, and Amber’s glasses are translucent white so they add pseudo-sclera.
Sclera, not irises.
Irides are the coloured bit. The white bits are sclera.
Walky: “So wait, if you are two people in the same body, does that mean we can do a threesome?”
Amazi-Girl: “That is uncomfortable to think of.”
Also, even if Amber and Amazi-Girl are two different people, Amber must learn that she and Amazi-Girl can be both equally good or bad and none of them are inherently worse, just two different sides of the same coin.
Abysswatcher, sadly I don’t think Amber knows enough at this point about her illness to realize what you mentioned in your last paragraph. I think she thinks Amber is all bad and Amazi-Girl is all good.
AG seems to believe the same, and I think she likes it that way.
Guys you are having this conversation in a public place that people are tweeting about.
When Walky says he’s “horny for y’all” he clearly means BOTH Amazi-Girl AND Amber.
I’m thinking that he hasn’t fully internalised how separated they are. Or maybe he’s shallow enough that he can skip the ‘separate psyches’ part because he loves that body?
I enjoy that the only possibilities you can come up with are ‘stupid’ or ‘shallow’
I can only respond to Walky how he has been portrayed in the strips.
Do you skip many of the strips then?
They do share a body. Switching whose driving it doesn’t make it any less desirable (at least not yet anyway).
I am curious, if walky doing all this panicking over one class or is he failing more than math?
Yes.
I feel it’s likely calculus that’s the main problem despite how he said classES.
Walky is deceptively smart. He coasted through high school without studying, just picking stuff up in class. I bet calculus is the one thing he’s run into where that’s not working for him.
Which kind of annoys me since it plays into the “math is hard” thing and makes it appear that the obvious solution is to drop calc and just not worry about it.
Plus, at least in my math class experience, studying for math is easier than studying most other subjects. You do the homework problems and do more of those as necessary. If you can do them, you’ve basically got it. None of this rereading and outlining chapters or whatever it is you’re supposed to do in most subjects. You learn math by doing it. The subject might not be easy, but the path to learning it is more straightforward.
Having been in Walky’s position regarding Calc during the opening few weeks of my own collage experience, I can definitely say that for me it doesn’t feed into the notion that math is hard. It wasn’t until someone helped me by explaining the logic behind the processes encapsulated in the formulas rather then insisting I merely memorize the formulas that I was able to wrap my head around the subject and progress.
I soared through math in high school — I didn’t so much study it as absorb it. My SAT for math was in the 97th percentile.
Then in college I ran headlong into calculus. Calculus was never intuitive for me, and I never figured out a good way to study it. In my fourth semester Calc class, I wound up with a C — not a good grade for a supposed math major.
My experience is kind of the opposite. I have a great deal of trouble remembering things, but very little trouble understanding things. And in mathematics, unlike almost everything else, once you’ve understood something you’ve got it. If you don’t recall something , you can easily work it back out again. From having tutored tons of people in calculus back in the day, I think the main problem most people have with it is getting confused.
Amazi-Girl is quite interestingly self-aware, isn’t she? As I and others have pointed out, it does seem that she shares most of Amber’s qualities in the end; it’s only their self-image that’s really different and even then only at the time the two of them partitioned.
With regard to Walky? Yeah, I think he’s more aware of his own problems than he lets on. I also think that Amazi-Girl isn’t sure exactly what she thinks of what he just said except that it was awkward!
“Case proved, really. “
DoA Book 9: You Could’ve Stopped Five Words Earlier
Or,
Walky gets a stiffy
There is a Mr Roger/sesame Cross-over Street Amber should really check out. It’s available on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqWDjJRhCkc
Thinking those five words are a big part of it so why not just be honest about it?
From where they’re both looking, his body already said it loud n clear.
Driver, roll up the partition please?
Wasnt “Huge Singular Pile of Suck” a late ’70s Punk/New Wave band?
I’m wondering if this micro-arc will end with Walky’s description of Amber leaving Amazi-Girl wondering if she really knows her ‘twin sister’ at all.
I wonder whether it will involve at any stage Amazi-Girl coaching Walky in maths.
I think this might be my preferred situation.
what is it with these kids that they equate “i punched somebody once“ makes them think they’re with the cool kids now?
Joyce thought she could now be legitimately Sal, and Walky that he can be a super hero… ^^
Well, punching is at least directly related to super-heroing.
Joyce actually punched someone in a way that dispensed some much-needed JUSTICE!
not gonna lie, this is actually really selling me on the walky/amber-AG ship.
It is sweet that Walky is attracted both to what Amber and Amazi-Girl think is best in themselves and what they think is worst in themselves, but it’s likely to be rather tragic. Walky is someone they both think poorly of. Besides, they are not coping well with their traumas, and need expert treatment, not to sack with someone who looks a lot like Sal.
I wonder if it will make an impact at all on AG that Walky envies her ability to partition her mind.
Except, her ‘ability’ to partition her mind doesn’t seem to be something she can control.
Walky, wanting threesomes with twice the same person.
Argh, everytime the ad on the left side cycles, it drags me back up the comments, and I have scroll back down to find where I was. Very annoying.
Ad pops up. See ad. Close ad. Notice from Google covers the same screen area saying the ad was closed. Click “Stop seeing this ad”. Google asks “Why’dja close the ad?” None of the options is “BECAUSE I SAW IT AND NOW I WANT THAT SCREEN AREA BACK”
So… now I’ve finished the comment and would like to post it, except the Google ad box IS COVERING THE SUBMIT BUTTON. I’ll try the tab key or something? (Copies text in case multiple attempts are needed)
Hey what do you know, hitting tab selected the ‘Post Comment’ button and it posted. Guess I should memorize that trick because that happens all the time.
Wait. Is Walky… good for Amber? Or is this conversation just a fluke?
