Agree. I lost a bunch of my stuff that my parents thought I didn’t want anymore to a fall garage sale that they held while I was away. And they’re good, loving people who would never intentionally get rid of someone else’s stuff. It was a miscommunication, but it still hurts, twenty years later.

Not everyone’s parents are as trustworthy. Don’t leave anything behind that you couldn’t replace.

… then again, we all take a chance with college roommates too, so it’s a gamble no matter what.
Alice be down the rabbit hole
that much we understand!
soon she will be lezzin out
in bongo WONDERLAND
to skipping, hopping, tripping,
fancy free and gay,
we started it tomorrow,
but will finish yesterday!
Good question. If they did have to pay, it makes Asma leaving a bit of a dick move, and might encourage them to try to find a replacement player.
Taffy
It’s a very mild dick move, but fictional characters are also constantly shown leaving situations that have been paid for, so I guess it wouldn’t be too unusual. It does kinda drive me nuts, though. Fictional motherfuckers never finish their meals, they leave in the middle of expensive events (sports, concerts they’ve been dying to attend, conventions), they’re always just fucking off.

Why would it be a dick move? Unless something’s changed in the 20yrs since I last bowled, you only pay per games bowled. Number of people is irrelevant. Back when I played, 1 person paid the same as 4 people.
Quite frankly you’re out of your mind if you think I’m ever gonna ship these two when I have Billie/Ruth

In other sapphic news though I’ve just spent a couple hours making out with my girlfriend after getting her from the airport. Cheers!
I don’t think it will blow up because that would kind of be the antithesis of Billifer’s recent character arc, but I also don’t think it will be that easy either.
Calling it now, Billie and Alice get together, Ruth spirals, Ruth’s grandpa comes to be an arse, Billie does a dramatic showing that makes Alice think Billie hasn’t grown at all, and Billie and Ruth end up together again while Ruth’s grandpa enters the Hall of Dead Father Figures Whom Shall Not Be Mourned
Maybe I’m not creative, but I struggle to find a reason for Clint to return beyond the classic “I’m old and dying now” trope. Last time he really only showed up because Ruth messed up and he had to protect the status quo of her remaining RA despite her fucking up in a way that should’ve gotten her fired. Ruth’s in a better place now, more stable and in an appropriate enough relationship. We’d need something new and compelling in Ruth’s story and I can’t imagine what that would be yet. We’ve already done the toxic yuri, crashout story,
I think Alice should be allowed to spend an entire chapter driving an indestructible car through every hallway on campus and run at least 4 named characters over.
I kinda prefer when Alice served as a specter of Billie’s past mistakes. I can’t get a bead on her current characterization. I feel like we kinda rushed her turnaround and now we’re in this weird dynamic between her and Jennifer.
I don’t think it’s rushed because I don’t think it’s gonna happen. The build up is quick but it’s also one sided and we’ve haven’t seen Billie show any romantic interest in Alice. Sure Alice is still really hot for Jen but Jen has done nothing to reciprocate that. Maybe it will happen because sometimes things can just be nice and we’ve seen a lot of very quick hookups recently, but I think it’s more interesting if Billie rejects Alice at first.
I found it pretty plausible, but I was also reading Alice as basically going “could have been worse, could have kissed her” after every run-in: She was not over Billie, she was trying to go cold turkey
I was pretty staunch in respecting her name change but the narrative and Willis have acknowledged the very unclear nature of Billifer’s name. She started going by Billie again when Alice was reintroduced and now no one really knows anything. I guess just call her whatever.

Don’t trust leaving things behind.

I trust Alice’s behind.

I like Billie. She’s an interesting character to me.
jabbingQuirker
am i the only one who misses the toxic yuri?

Cameron Stone
No, I really miss Billie and Ruth too. For me it was the biggest bummer from the timeskip.
Techhead
There is toxic yuri everywhere for those with eyes to see.
Ray Radlein
Seeing the name of this one before I clicked on it, I was thinking it was about Amazi-Girl’s uniform in Jennifer’s room.
SO CLOSE!
Astariel
Aww, that’s sweet. I hope they get together and have a more-or-less healthy relationship.
I do wonder if this is going to tie back into the bowling storyline somehow. Will they call Jennifer to replace Asma as a fourth player?
Taffy
I’m slightly (a little bit) curious whether Dorothy and/or Joyce paid for their game or if IU’s bowling alley (which is real) is free for students.
Ray Radlein
Seems like the type of thing Student Activity Fees ought to cover, but who knows
Taffy
I’ve never heard of that. Maybe my college just doesn’t offer it.

Love Alice’s mint hoodie-black shirt combo.
Elf grrl
Alice’s entire wardrobe lately has been fashionable, definitely in my top best DoA outfits

I support Ruth and literally everyone else because of all the physical violence and drug abuse.
I support Alice and Jennifer just because I expect it to explode horribly and I’m dying for that right now.
Dot
You would throw up if you knew the kind of yuri I’m into
Taffy
Damn, I wanna know about the yuri that makes people throw up.
Lys
I’m going to take a stab in the dark here and say… Kallidora Rho.
Sirksome

I do miss Billie and Ruth together. They were my favorite part of the comic, and it just hasn’t been the same since they broke up.
NGPZ
yippee ^-^
Yotomoe
Same. I’m a Bilie/Ruth shipper until I D-I-E.
Dean
Asma had better move it, her window is closing rapidly!
IntangibleMatter
Oh good, disaster lesbians of a different flavour.
(Still wish it was toxic yuri, though. Ruth/Jennifer will always be my OTP)
Thag Simmons
This has not historically been a non-toxic relationship, so I feel like saying this won’t be toxic yuri is jumping the gun a bit.
IntangibleMatter
Yeah but it’s like, levels. This one doesn’t feel like it’ll ever get into suicide pact territory.
It’s possible for it to be toxic yuri, but not for it to be as toxic.
(And yes, if she got back together with Ruth it also wouldn’t be as toxic, but the history alone makes for an interesting dynamic)
Thag Simmons
Billie did very nearly kill both of them, so I don’t think it’s actually that far off
RassilonTDavros
I get the sinking feeling that this is all about to go horribly, horribly wrong.
and that if/when it does, the comments will still be 90 percent Joyrothy Discourse for some reasonanon
i mean, other than another chara dying whats the worst that could happen lol

Alice is very cute…
That’s all I’ve got, tbh. Well, that and I still think Jennifer is rocking the short hair.
Lys
Jennifer, why are you holding the butt end of the marker between your teeth? You’re supposed to bite the cap end so you can pull it out to mark!
anon
i’m just impressed she can speak without it falling out
Taffy
I think Alice should be allowed to spend an entire chapter driving an indestructible car through every hallway on campus and run at least 4 named characters over.
NGPZ
she should also get a grand slam from Denny’s :9
Taffy
Goddamn, I could fuck a Denny’s Grand Slam right now.

…this is somehow gonnna lead to asma somehow walking in on them making out
idk about uniforms but wish i had my chefs coat we got in culinary arts, we even had names on them too but i guess if orgot oh well
Giffem
Did Jennifer go back to being called billie or are people here just using that name again?
Sirksome
I was pretty staunch in respecting her name change but the narrative and Willis have acknowledged the very unclear nature of Billifer’s name. She started going by Billie again when Alice was reintroduced and now no one really knows anything. I guess just call her whatever.
Joe Moose
What are the chances of Alice stumbling upon Amazi-Girl’s uniform in some comedic fashion.
What's in Joyce's burrito?
