          People like to discredit Mako a lot. He did mess up two relationships, but his reaction to that was to focus inward and become a better person. The LoK cast does a helluva lot of growth throughout the series.

              Mako is a character from Legend of Korra named in tribute to the actor. The character is infamous for coming out of the love triangle from the first couple seasons worse for the wear.

                He came out very single from the whole mess (most of which he brought on himself; I was screaming at my TV during Book 2), but he grew a lot, and Brike went on the record saying that he’ll be a better partner down the road after all of it.

        As I said two days ago: It’s not obvious Jacob will dump her. Right now, he probably thinks Harrison was confused, and has no idea Joyce made a self-fulfilling prophecylied.

        He was already unhappy with Raidah. The confusion made him realize he could be with Joyce. He’ll likely be happy with Joyce.

        She briefly said she was his girlfriend before she actually was – and remember, she was running away ten seconds later – it wasn’t a sustained campaign of deception. By the time he finds out what actually happened (if he ever does), he’ll probably let it slide.

            I don’t see any evidence of it. There’s certainly nothing direct. Maybe people taking the implication that he picked her to impress Harrison to mean he doesn’t really like her. Or assuming he wouldn’t be so obviously attracted to Joyce if he was happy.

              Yeah honestly, I could see this story condemning the use of superficial relationship indicators- Joyce has a lot of information that could make it seem like Jacob isn’t happy with the Rhaida but at the same time we’ve barely seen them alone and they get along fine; it’s also possible Jacob could even be attracted to Joyce but not like choose to let that attraction terminate another relationship he’s still perfectly happy with

                She does? I still don’t see it. Or any indication Joyce thinks he’s unhappy, for that matter.

                She sees that he’s attracted to her, but that’s not the same thing.

            I don’t really remember that either.

            I have no idea how PDA/physically affectionate they are*. There was the one time Jacob hinted at “fooling around” and Raidah responded, not coldly, that they each had to study.

            (* I’m of the totally unlearned opinion that huggers usually end up with huggers. My wife and I are both huggers, a couple we know are married and she’s a hugger and he’s not and it befuddles us both. Jacob and Joyce seem to have no problem being huggers/physical contact, like when he carried her with her Xteme Workout Injury.)

          Really hope it doesn’t play out that way. Joyce does not need her rom-com based romantic ideas reinforced. Her boundary violations don’t need to be rewarded.

        I read that as friendhumping. Totally a possible result.

        “Oh, Joyce, uh, we are, mmph, such, such, ah, mmm, good, ah, friends!”

        “Mm, yeah, Friendship! Ooo, friendship is, is, is, magicaaaallllright there! Right there! So magical!”

            More than her dating her ex nemesis’ twin and Ethan finding out he was gay during prom night? I’d guess it might blip, but much like a really small earthquake, where she’d only feel it in the basement of her mind or when you realize you felt something momentarily earlier but you couldn’t place it until you saw it on the news.

              Probably less now that she’s dating Walky (or whatever their actual status is), but her second boyfriend hooking up with her first is definitely going to build on the trauma from that first revelation.

    I approve this ship, but I hope Danny doesn’t repeat the same obsessive behavior that he did with his previous girlfriends. Also, is Ethan willing to a relationship after confessing his desire to “collect” exes?

      I think it was more his idea of getting action that he was excited about. This ship could transcend that.

    On another note, it’s ridiculous for Danny to expect Ethan was going to turn around and notice him. The only time people check behind them is if they are about to do something publicly inappropriate or something redirects their attention in that direction. Otherwise you can pretty much tail someone all day without them being aware of it.

      I look behind me when on campuses all the time – because if people didn’t have the roller skate shoes, they were running late to class with coffee in their hands, walking with their phone in their hand and being unaware or a giant cartload of books was being pushed around. The building common areas could have been renamed as commotion areas with complimentary hard hats for how many times I’ve been jostled.

      Yeah, I checked behind me fairly regularly even before I took a Martial Arts class where the instructor emphasized that the easiest way to prevent a mugging was to be aware of your surroundings. Combine that with working in a factory for the last six years where the forklift drivers are somewhat less than careful and I’m actually pretty much keeping my head on a swivel at all times.

    I love any hints of this ship, but right now I can’t stop laughing at panel 3.

    “And you, Ethan, I, too, have only just now noticed.”

    Just so we’re both clear neither of us noticed the other. Are we ABSOLUTELY clear on that?
