        Someone said “Dorky” was Dorothy and Walky awhile ago. I usually hate these things with a purple passion, but I gotta admit that one’s hilarious.

        Also, I get saying you “ship” two (or more, I guess [cue Dorothy/Walky/Joyce threesome {Dorkoyce?}]) characters, but when it’s being used as a noun, wouldn’t it make more sense to spell it:

        ‘ship

        …since it’s a (really silly) abbreviation of the word relationship?

          Also:

          Joyce + Ethan = Johan

          Sal + Jason = Salon

          Billie + Ruth = Bluth

          Amazi-Girl + Danny = Agranny

          Sarah + Jacob = Sjaarcaohb

          Mike + Your Mom = Mimom

            I honestly prefer ship names that aren’t a name combo, unless the combo happens to be something clever or funny.

            Like the name for JoycexWalkyxDorothy, “Caramel and Marshmallows”

                Meh, look up for example Pokemon shippings… They all have specific names. It’s more common to just push together two names, though, like for example avatar does (Tokka, Kataang, Katoph, etc).

              Personally, I consider both to be horrid. If you must ship (and I often find fandom’s obsession with that to be tiresome in itself), what’s wrong with the classic, traditional, (first or last name) / (first or last name)?

          Words evolve. Dropping apostrophes happens, like “phone”, “flu” and even “Halloween”. Besides, it helps with the pun for when a ship canons.

            Or devolve, in some cases.

            Let’s be honest, many fandom terms are just cringe-inducing. “I can’t” is pretty annoying (WHAT IS IT YOU CAN’T DO, YOU SICK SON OF A GUN?! TELL ME ALREADY), but “Feels” is the one I despise the most. It’s just stupid. Doesn’t even take that long to type in 3 additional letters.

            “Feelings”. There, see? Nobody died, and OH GODS NO, JULIO! JULIO, BREATHE, PLEASE! DON’T LEAVE ME ALONE, MAN!

              The only thing that really bothers me is when people say ‘YISSS’ instead of yes. I get it, it’s a phonetic version of hissing ‘yes’, it follows the pattern of misspelling words in excitement, clever.

              But it sounds like piss.

              ‘Oh man, look at this cool comic book cover’
              ‘PISSSSSSS’

              ‘BABY PANDA PICTURES’
              ‘PISSSSSSS’

              ‘Marriage Equality enacted the world over’
              ‘PISSSSSSSSS’

              You get the picture.

      Well, triangles are a lot more stable when they’re connected on all three sides.

      Or maybe Dorothy’s figuring she’ll just hand Walky off to Joyce when she goes off to Yale. Joyce is making good progress; maybe by then she’ll be ready for some caramel filling.

      Though, really, Dorothy’s expression says to me that she’s thinking the same thing I am here: “OMG they fight like an alternate-universe married couple! Adorable!”

        So, wold this be a V, a delta, or some other kind of arrangement? Regardless of how it works out we know Walky has to be a vertex between Joyce and Dorothy, so far we have seen no inkling of sexual anything between the girls. But on the same note we didn’t see any inkling of sexual anything in Fans until the Goth Girl went back into the living room to get the Japanese girl off the couch and into the bedroom. I’m sure that’s a obscure enough reference to blow a few minds.

          It can’t be all that obscure; the author’s around here somewhere.

          But “Joyce is maybe into girls in general, and Dorothy in particular,” has been kind of a thing throughout DoA. Walky’s even said it to Joyce’s face at least twice, and while Joyce gets mad at him for saying it (in that same kind of “yeah, I can totally believe that these two are married in the other universe” way they’re demonstrating today), she has yet to actually deny it. (She hates lying as much as she hates homosexuality…)

          And Joyce did throw a toy at Dorothy’s head.

          It’s true that Dorothy hasn’t ever given any hints that she might reciprocate, though. But hey, maybe she won’t until one night after they’ve been watching D&MM together she knocks on Joyce’s door and sticks her tongue down her throat while Sarah makes snarky comments over their shoulder.

          (Seriously, I think Dorothy’s straight. And I’d be surprised – though not shocked – if Joyce turned out to actually be bi. But that doesn’t change the fact that Joyce would be the best First Lady.)

    Joyce razzing him is hilariously adorable.

    Between this and Joyce’s pondering when Dorothy gushed about Walky’s muscles “carved from caramel”, there is at least some physical attraction to Walky on Joyce’s part established, but it is certainly reluctant, and probably not anything we can expect to be elaborated on too much, especially since Willis doesn’t usually like to rehash stuff from the Walkyverse too much.

      Dunno if Joyce is attracted to Walky (at least, not before this…), but she has so much repressed horniness right now that the thought of anyone making out drives her into a state of resonant lust.

      I like Joyce, and her quest to be true to herself, despite the drives of her body, but something’s gotta give there. I just hope it doesn’t ruin what makes her special.

    Joyce gets all the best facial expressions and the most dynamic postures, (even in the fan art)!

But her presence in a scene that’s all about talk makes it just as dynamic as an AG fight scene.

    And then I’ll say “Called it!”

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

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. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

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."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

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
