    I’m really curious to see what Dina’s upbringing was like. I mean, I don’t know much about social disorders, but if she doesn’t have one this really seems to be…I dunno…off. No one could possibly have spent eighteen years in such a social vacuum as to result in this kind of behavior. Her parents must’ve made Squee Casil’s look attentive and caring.

    She’s like some weird mix of Amelia Bedelia and Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory.

      I was homeschooled, and I didn’t blossom socially until college. Even after college, I have a hard time finding ways to make new friends. She’ll break out of that bubble eventually… characters have arcs. The one she had with Mike in It’s Walky showed a decent amount of depth to her character. I hope she gets similar exposure here.

    So adorable it didn’t occur to me until five minutes later to wonder why Amber doesn’t have an alarm. Pretty sure all my reasoning abilities had shut down entirely for that whole five minutes.

      Amber might be too heavy a sleeper to trust alarms, or she might be like me and not trust herself to reset her one alarm clock for the next morning. You didn’t lose reasoning abilities; you just had other theories that didn’t leave your subconscious mind. Unfortunately for you, that can already be harnessed for evil, although I forget how.

              Actually, she says it more than once. She actually repeats it indefinitely, without variation, quietly from behind the door on the other side of the room.

              It’s not insanity to expect a different result if you think each attempt makes a tiny difference!

      My new crazy theory -derived from a comment I made below- aside from the dorm meeting at the start and that time in class when she got Walky’s notes, she’s actually been asleep. She sleeps with her eyes open, and sleepwalks, sleeptalks, and has a limited ability to interact, but that’s just her subconscious speaking.

      Remember, all these times we’ve found her standing around her dorm room – and we’ve seen no solid evidence that she sleeps lying down…

        I actually want to see “paying attention in class” and “riding a roller coaster” done as a single scene.

        And if she has the same expression while she’s sleeping, then that would mean that she sleeps with her eyes open – which could be horrifying.

        I doubt her parents (or guardians, whatever) would send her to live in a dorm if she was retarded. Besides, she appeared to be able to imitate “normal” when prompted by Amber. If anything she seems high on something, but thankfully not ectasy or stuff that would dissolve her sense of “personal space”.

            It might not be how schizophrenia, because “split personality” is largely a construct of Hollywood, but some of her behavior also fits on the schizotypal spectrum.

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.

they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno

Andrew bought a Transformer from @damnyouwillis.bsky.social‬ and he included magnets of the Walkyverse characters who look the most like us.
Two magnetic characters: a black-haired guy and a brown-haired girl with glasses. He included a third one that I think is the character who looks the most like Helen from my webcomic Narbonic.
