      To be fair, after I left the most of my former religion, I started to follow a master of martial art. I liked him and started to trainning in dojo.
      It was 10 years ago, and I still go there.

      Is this the fate of all humans? We always are “doomed” to follow someone?

        You’re not *fated* to follow someone. It’s just that 1) following or being followed is a very normal relationship to have, and 2) if you’ve spent most of your life in a “follow” kind of mentality, it has become a comfortable way of life for you. So following someone else when you give up the previous not very good cultish group makes you feel comfortable in a familiar way. As long as you don’t fall into *another* cult (which is actually very common) it’s fine to follow a leader in a healthy way.

        Do try to practice having your own opinion on things and try not to *just* be a follower of other people in everything you do

          In all the times I’ve called Dotty the “mom friend” it was always in the facet of her taking over the tasks of a mom for *everyone,* and thinking she was “more mature” then her friends.

          None of this alabama slammer stuff. The UST broke her out of that spot for me.

            Oh I agree that Dorothy is very mom friend. Commenters like that weird alabama slammer guy just don’t understand the difference between a mom friend and literally being someone’s actual factual mother.

                You’re right I forgot about the strip where we discovered that Carol is Dorothy from the future who went back in time to marry Joyce’s dad and give birth to her.

                Carol is dead now, I think she chased a cat out in traffic and got run over 22 times. Don’t worry, the cat’s fine after tripping Carol in the far lane of the stroad.

            You know, it’s interesting, but I’ve actually NEVER seen any weird accusations of incestuous perversion regarding Dorothy’s mothering of Walky. Meanwhile I’ve seen several leveled at Dorothy regarding Joyce.

            Very nice. I am playing Let’s Go Eevee on the switch yet again right now. It’s very cute and soothing. But my husband has emulators on the PC to play some Really old games.

        I feel like that’s more normal with games than with music. It’s just that for most people “the fever” lasts approximately until they beat the game, and “all other activities” often makes allowances for things like eating and sleeping.

      Nope.
      I listen to the whole album like that.
      I have found that, if I only do the one song, I won’t give the rest of the album a chance, and when I later do, I’ll be sick of the one song which will sit like dead fish among all the “new” songs.

      I did that for just an album, not a single song once, and now every time a song from that album comes up on any of my playlists the game that i was playing a lot of when that album came out comes to my mind completely unasked for, and frankly it was not that great of a game.

      I do not want a repeat performance.

        I will forever associate CCR, The Traveling Wilburys and Madonna with SSI’s Pool of Radiance because for a month or two in the early ’90s, I would play that while listening to Chronicle (CCR), Volume 1 and Volume 3 (Wilburys) and Like a Prayer.

        There are certainly worse games I could associate with those albums.

      If I get into a group I usually have to listen to the artist/group’s whole discography so I don’t feel guilty about leaving out the unpopular stuff. (Also learn a bunch of trivia about their history, plus look up lyrics because I’m terrible at extracting words from music unless it’s a style that maximizes vocal clarity… unfortunately I don’t usually love that sort of music, but fortunately I do like a lot of wordless music). Usually that’s so much content that I only get through the catalog a couple times at most before I lose motivation at which point I lose the music listening habit altogether for a while. Then if that group releases a new album I don’t even hear about it because I’ve forgotten to be excited about them anymore.

      You’re ‘supposed’ to add it to your playlist and enjoy it when it occasionally comes up.

      It seems much more efficient to play it 300 times in a row until you want to listen to something else.

      No, you’re supposed to add it to your ONE BIG PLAYLIST of 5000+ songs and play only that on random all the time with no playlists or album groupings.

        Many things that are more common in ND people are also just. Stuff people do. Most ND diagnoses are really just descriptions of clusters of traits, with medical research only just starting to understand any of the neuroscience of it. LOTS of people do typically ND stuff but not enough of it to end up with the diagnoses that are basically either you had this many behaviors in this behavior bucket or the ones that you do have generate meaningful support needs.

        There is much less of a bright clear line between ND folks and everyone else than internet discourse would have you think.

        A lot of people aren’t going to suggest that someone else is autistic in real life unprompted. Very reasons for this, including their own view of autism and what they might think the proper approach to concluding that one is autistic is.

        My previous therapist, who I saw for years, never suggested that I was autistic, but did eventually bring up the idea of an assessment for *something.* (It wasn’t clear if they were thinking the assessment would look at autism or not; it didn’t end up doing so, but that could have been because of unclear expectations or something.)

        Anyway, again– a lot of people aren’t going to suggest someone else has autism, even if they might suspect it.

        When I started seeing my current therapist and finally got that assessment (I had been on a wait list for a while) and it didn’t tell me anything helpful, she was like, “I thought the results might show an autism diagnosis.” Because she was much more familiar with working with neurodiverse folks– and then her saying this allowed me to admit that I’d been wondering if I was autistic for a couple years at that point.

      When I discovered _Frozen_ (a year after it came out), I listened to “Let it Go” repeatedly, every day for a month. Found it in other languages with literal translations back to English. I absolutely adored Elsa. I understood her. She spoke to me. Didn’t care about anyone else in the movie.

          Japanese!Let It Go is so much better that it makes me like the original more.

          (Menzel’s performance is amazing, the music is totally fine, but the lyrics are weird and weak and confused, and they also contain artifacts of Elsa’s earlier villain writing that don’t work anymore. The Japanese dub is a lot tighter and also hews closer to what the song has become for a lot of people, which is a triumphant coming out.)

              光あびながら 歩きだそう
              少しも寒くないわ
              I can love myself just like this, I’m good enough
              I’ll believe in myself just like this, I’m good enough
              From here on, I’ll walk bathed in light
              Because I’m not even a little cold

              I just think the imagery is all on point, and I *really* like the ありのままの>ありのままで>これでいいの progression.

              ありのまま is a phrase meaning “as it is”, and therefore also things like “plain, honest, candid”. Unvarnished truth, etc.

              これでいいの is like, “this is good enough”, and the これでいいの自分 is very much, this me is good enough.

              I also think these lyrics are just much more unreservedly empowering.

              Which is arguably “wrong”, but more how the song has been taken by general audiences.

      See, I argued the first laundry room scene was her subconsciously enforcing her authority and Joyce deferring to it because “authority said so, must do.” It was a big problem I had in college and led to me spending $800 on family because my older sibling was broke, but they were also the parentified sibling who raised me so I didn’t feel like I could/should say no and that I should trust them.

      I still wish the initial scene had a more enthusiastic “yes” from Joyce, but I don’t feel that way anymore. But it’ll be interesting if the realization hits Dorothy like that and *she* believes she was being manipulative even though it’s very clear now that she isn’t and wasn’t.

      And then beyond infuriating (for me) when Joyce kisses her to reaffirm her own agency, but I’ll live. I’m moving on from Joeyce to Joe/Sarah or Joe/Rachel (in the most mutually destructive way that could turn out only). It’ll be aight.

        I remember, and the answer about the author also being queer and ND is yes. And anyone who wants to argue about nonbinary people in “straight passing” relationships can step on legos about it. 🙂

        Also +1 to everything else Nymph said. Self-selected groups being higher percentage of a given subtype of human than the general population is just how things work.

        To say nothing of the overlap between ND people and “participating in a webcomic comments section” versus the readers who have never once glanced at the comments, or who do but don’t feel the need to engage? Regular commenters are an even smaller subsection of those readers. Etc etc.

    Okay 1) she clearly needed glasses 2) you parted her hair like that for a Rapunzel costume and it just happened to stick. 3) if memory serves she got the fitness watch for JACOB.

    I think Dorothy is trying to rationalize why she thinks she bad for Joyce and broaching the whole “wedging myself between you and Joe” thing would put it too much in romantic terms.

      Regarding 2, there’s also many strips before Halloween where Joyce has her hair parted to the right so yeah. Dorothy’s just reaching for reasons to be terrible and no good for Joyce so her feelings aren’t real. As for 3, you’re actually on the money!

        Before Joyce’s hair always parted to the right, the rules were it parted in the opposite direction of the way her face was looking. When drawn head-on, I’d choose a direction that looked best to me.

    The act of listening to an album on repeat for 37 times sounds exhausting.

    The act of listening to an album on repeat twice, sounds exhausting.

    The act of listening to an album. AT ALL, and not instead just searching “Best Stardew Valley songs” on YouTube, and having it go in the background for a good twenty minutes until I remember that thing about cats and cucumbers, and interrupt what I was doing to find out WHY cats jump from cucumbers, then watch several shorts of cats jumping away from cucumbers, then look up cats on Minecraft and look up what you can do with them, and then finish a few hours later by playing Mario Kart World, because I was *going* to play Minecraft, but why the hell should I play old ancient Minecraft on my Switch 2 when there is a beautiful new Mario Kart – compared to that, listening to an album sounds exhausting.

      My music taste has been all over the place in terms of genre (adhd) but also very focused at any given time, since i definitely fixate on specific songs or albums (pretty sure thats the ‘tism).

        Yeah, I don’t find new music. Never have. Grew up in the 90s, never bought a CD in my life. Have no bands or singers or anyone who I like – at least, none that I like enough to really remember once they’re no longer playing.

        I might get *a* song stuck in my head, because I know a ton of songs, but I couldn’t tell you who sang them. You could say to me, “Name a Taylor Swift song,” and I will stare blankly into space for a few seconds before guessing “I dunno, that one where she took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights?”

        And I know that because I sat here, blankly, trying to remember, then typed that into Google before learning I was wrong.

        But I will play Outer Wilds, and it will *wreck* me, and years later I will pull up that OST, and every time it comes to 14.3 Billion Years it will still wreck me, leading to big ugly tears while I duck under my desk and my coworkers wonder if someone in my family died.

        I guess that’s my fixation. Occasionally it’ll be a movie… but realistically, 99.9% of the time, the only music I actually care about comes from a game.

        I wouldn’t begin to know where to start if I was ever asked to come up with a sexytimes playlist. I haven’t played enough video games that had that much of a vibe.

    It’s okay, Dorothy – you know who else fell in love with a girl while trying to help her through her trauma and psychological issues, kind of consensually remade her in her own image, and ended up in a strange situationship where it always feels like they’re about to kiss but never quite do and if either of them actually acknowledge out their feelings for the other they’ll have a mental breakdown about it?

    That’s right: Twilight Sparkle. And she ended up ruling all Equestria. Don’t feel so bad about it now, do you?

    I was looking at My Mix on just one of the music streaming services I use and it’s right at 30 hours. Joyce could listen to it 8 hours a day and never hear anything twice for 3 days and 6 hours.

      (Though to be fair, there are quite a few tracks I have more than one version of, or even more than one release of the same version. Like, I have five copies of the studio version of “Lucky Man”, off the original album and four different compilation albums. I think that’s the most for just copies of the same frickin’ song. The others that I have more than two or three of, it’s different live versions or different mixes.)

        That’s about on tune with my music collection. When I was listening to music all the time, my goal was to only hear a (version of a) song once a week.

    So, maybe im misreading them, but it seemed the two were basically coming here to masturbate together? And i dunno this feels like.. Cheating right? Am I wrong?

    Theres something about this whole scenario I do not like at all, and it literally is in regards to the fact theyre both in relationships.

      Yes, they came here intending to masturbate together. Yes, some people feel like this is cheating. Some people feel like it isn’t, so there’s not a definite answer, but you’re not wrong in how you feel.

      And yep, that makes sense. If you think this is cheating, then them being in relationships would be a problem for you.

        Mmm, I think honestly that “Joyce has previously expressed she’d feel like it was cheating” is enough to make me label it as “potentially cheating”, personally.

      Yes, they were.

      It’s iffy on whether it would be considered cheating or not as neither have actually discussed with their partners and different people will feel differently on if this is 100% cheating, leaning on boundaries heavily or perfectly acceptable.

      I personally feel this is leaning on boundaries heavily because Dorothy especially is in denial. But that it absolutely would be cheating if they said they loved each other and decided to do this to deal with it.

      Whereas it would be perfectly acceptable if both Joe and Walky just outright did not care (some men do watch porn together and presumably take care of such needs at the same time, so it is possible there are people that would not care).

      I am not really enjoying the boundary leaning myself because it is too close to cheating for my liking.

        I think Dorothy and Joyce would consider it cheating and so would their partners.

        Which is the only four people that matter.

          Yeah I’m in this camp. I’ve been through enough relationship traumadrama to know that “technicallies” have nothing to do with anything helpful. If it’s a question, it’s good to check in with your partner, and they haven’t done that at all.

          Yeah, the thing is, I am not so sure on any of their feelings on it except Dorothy likely regarding it as cheating when not denying her feelings. I can see Joyce rationalising it. Joe also maybe could. I don’t know if Walky would care or REALLY REALLY CARE or get distracted by ‘I knew it!’. I am not having confident predictions on this at all which feeds into my dislike of it personally.

      Oh, it’s cheating, but this is fiction and us degenerates basically want every available pairing at some point. The way I see it, Amber is basically in the comic as a reminder that you can be a decent person and still want that kind of thing for all of your favorite fictional characters.

    Rereading the strip, it finally occurred to me Dotty has more concerns than just “I might be bi” or “this might be cheating”. She’s also aware of the amount of influence she’s been wielding over Joyce, and is unclear how much her attraction might have swayed the manner in which she’s used it. Considering her current other hangups regarding responsibility over other people, that’s another quagmire she’s standing in.
