I think it helps Dina to hear other people say things like that out loud, TBH, so I don’t necessarily agree. I appreciate how Amber and Dina have bonded over being neurodivergent
This. My partner and I find it so much more tolerable to spend lots of time together when we’re not masking, when we can actually be our real selves. It’s liberating. I used to think I was an introvert but I’m not, I just hate lying.
No, she knows she’s with friends who understand, especially Dina. And Becky is understanding of friends’ quirks. Amber doesn’t need to hide her differences with everyone. I think she wouldn’t say that if she was with anyone she didn’t know well.
Amber is the best and you can pry her from my cold, dead hands.
And yeah, Becky, stick that in front of Dina’s stuff, not Amber’s. Dina’s dinosaur displays don’t deserve to be blocked either, but there’s finite space here so not being a dick to the roommate is important.
Awwww. Panel 1. Becky in fancy clothing standing before a giant velcioraptor plushie with a vulnerable expression, trying her utmost to do something nice for Dina.
If that’s not the key to get Dina to take off her hat, I don’t know what is.
But PLEASE, BEKCY!!!! LIFE IS NOT A ROMANTIC COMEDY. DROP ALL THAT JUNK ABOUT “EARNING” YOUR GIRLFRIEND.
(Also, Amber: Don’t interrupt when Becky is about to get smooches. That’s just rude).
I was right, Becky is killing that suit. Just straight murdering it. Like, taking it out behind the alley with a ba–okay, this is going to a weird place.
I hope Becky and Dina settle into a healthier rhythm soon. They’re already great, but as Becky transitions back to a stable life I think she’ll stop feeling the need to impress Dina so much. Dina keeps telling her as much, but shutting the lizard in the back of your head up outright does wonders.
I love Amber so much and I’m still really worried about Amazi-Girl. That being said I’m pretty sure I remember seeing a preview panel of this day in-universe of her and Walky hanging out and oh, my garbage babies. <3
(Also holy shit, Amber, change Walky's grades back and tell him what you did)
Typically the transformers caught his attention more than her lady bits. Kind of makes since though on why she didn’t caught on to him being gay till he had to spell it out for her.
Either that or Naomi was already pressuring him to sleep with his girlfriend in high school. He found himself uncomfortably nekkid when Amber entered the room. He grabbed a toy for modesty. Amber and him then spent some happy time playing with his Junkion together.
Either she didn’t notice he was nude or she quipped about getting nekkid to play with her toys sometimes too and left it at that.
And this is why Naomi blames her for Ethan realising he prefers guys.
Becky tweets about this officially – including that she hadn’t thought about where her gf would put Rex in her dorm room – making it sound like it was a romantic gesture she made with Robin’s support, but without thrusting Dina into the limelight or exploiting their relationship. Rex becomes a symbol of Robin’s campaign as a really relatable liberal lesbian-friendly politician. Rex sparks his own memes, and wins Robin the election. She’s so pleased she buys Becky somewhere big enough to keep an 8′ plush dinosaur.*Then* the “Becky and Dina do it on a dinosaur” slipshine happens.
Or that’s the best-caae scenario I can think of, anyway…
Can bonus page be Dina taking a happy nap on the giant velociraptor? While dreaming about her and Becky riding motorcycles alongside many correctly feathered ones?
I know it probably isn’t the most convenient considering their dorms are small, but if my partner bought me a giant fuzzy Pokemon plush I’m pretty sure convenience would be the last thing on my mind. ♡
a plague has hit our house
both children singing billie eilish's "what was i made for" but entirely in "meows"

it's been weeks

The plantation burning reminds me of when the residential school burnt down in Shubenacadie.
I was very young. Not understanding why we were all there watching a scary looking building burning. Cars lined up all over both sides of the road. It seemed like the entire rez population (1)
Someone is citing the MA constitutional provision explicitly allowing the state to impede federal marshals enforcing the fugitive slave act, DAMN the average citizen is radicalized
you’re laughing. the largest antebellum plantation house burned down & there are brides who will not get to spiritually absorb the poisoned spectral energy of the land for their big day, & you’re laughing.
Me if I ever see Tony Hawk: Hey you’re Tony Hawk the famous skateboarder. That’s right I recognise you. Won’t be able to get any content out of this will you, you piece of shit

today in #9chickweedlane i learned we have to be shown children learning and relearning what sex is, for Reasons, even though they already clearly know and have prepared nuanced questions about it!
also that Gran must hate, if she's still alive, how Old Juliette is the same but with gray hair
one of my favorite things is when a commenter explodes WHEN DO THESE CHARACTERS GET THERAPY but directed towards a character who canonically has a regular therapist

eh, reaching things is overrated
That’s a bit of a reach.
You overreached with that statement.
T. rex did fine with those teeny arms.
T. Rex reached out, but could only touch faith.
Amber, try using your
inside voiceinner monologue for that last bit.I think it helps Dina to hear other people say things like that out loud, TBH, so I don’t necessarily agree. I appreciate how Amber and Dina have bonded over being neurodivergent

Oh my goodness that explains so much about my friendships and social situations. Sorry, just had a self revelation here.
No, she knows she’s with friends who understand, especially Dina. And Becky is understanding of friends’ quirks. Amber doesn’t need to hide her differences with everyone. I think she wouldn’t say that if she was with anyone she didn’t know well.
When you put it that way it is really sweet!
I feel like this is the most normal we’ve ever seen Amber being.
Well clearly the solution is to carefully arrange the Transformers all over Plush Raptor and make that the new display.
Clothes can go in a pile near the bottom.
it’s not very effective…
It’s fiiiine, just pretend it’s Dinobot!
A giant plush dinossaur is blocking Amber from her Transformers display.
Oh, the Beast Wars irony of this is so juicy I can taste it from here…
*plays “So Long And Thanks For All The Fish” on the hacked Muzak*
Happy Towel Day!
Amber is the best and you can pry her from my cold, dead hands.
And yeah, Becky, stick that in front of Dina’s stuff, not Amber’s. Dina’s dinosaur displays don’t deserve to be blocked either, but there’s finite space here so not being a dick to the roommate is important.

(Also, Amber: Don’t interrupt when Becky is about to get smooches. That’s just rude).
You expect Dina to take her hat off on a Haturday?
…I kinda do, yes.
She already took the hat off for Becky.
And next time she might not stop with the hat
That dorm is too tiny for a plush that size
It’s a serious design flaw. How can they expect students to live like this?
Clearly the dorm rooms need to be expanded so students can more comfortably fit giant dinosaur plushies.
“The people with the giant plush raptor might judge my small toy robots.”
On the other hand, they don’t arrest you for not having having small toy robots.
The law has it’s priorities screwed up.
Becky just needs to break out the “Well, Batman has a giant T-Rex…” argument.
She would just loose herself in discussing errors in how it is represented and forget whatever point she was trying to make.
Other girls: WAHHH I CAN’T GET TO MY CLOTHES
Me: WAHHH I CAN’T GET TO MY TRANSFORMERS
On the bright side if Amber needs her privacy and Dina isn’t around, stuffed dino can block the door.
She can also just not open it.
I love the Dino’s look. All of this is happening and it’s just like, “I’m a giant @#$@ing raptor.” Like a boss.
Giant raptor don’t give a sh!t.
It doesn’t have the same vibe as MOTHERFUCKING T-REX. I know Nostalgia Critic betrayed the trust of his fans, but that joke is still funny.
WHERE IS YOUR RESPECT FOR THE MOMENT, AMBER

The lizard in back of Becky’s head will not be shut up; it will just sit there lording it over them like a boss.
Oh please Amber, don’t act like you never walked around with just transformers covering your bits, you dated Ethan
Typically the transformers caught his attention more than her lady bits. Kind of makes since though on why she didn’t caught on to him being gay till he had to spell it out for her.
Either that or Naomi was already pressuring him to sleep with his girlfriend in high school. He found himself uncomfortably nekkid when Amber entered the room. He grabbed a toy for modesty. Amber and him then spent some happy time playing with his Junkion together.

I wonder if Becky can store it in her apartment and invite Dina over, only for Robin to be really angry at bringing strangers into “their” apartment.
Then again, I really think Robin is acting like she’s dating Becky.
Becky tweets about this officially – including that she hadn’t thought about where her gf would put Rex in her dorm room – making it sound like it was a romantic gesture she made with Robin’s support, but without thrusting Dina into the limelight or exploiting their relationship. Rex becomes a symbol of Robin’s campaign as a really relatable liberal lesbian-friendly politician. Rex sparks his own memes, and wins Robin the election. She’s so pleased she buys Becky somewhere big enough to keep an 8′ plush dinosaur.*Then* the “Becky and Dina do it on a dinosaur” slipshine happens.
Or that’s the best-caae scenario I can think of, anyway…
#giganticvelociraptorapproves
uh, is the display in the closet or…?
The display is somewhere in that third of the room.
Bigger isn’t always better. It’s just show-offy, and is in the way of Transformers. And clothes.
The question is, how much Transformer themed clothing does she have?
None that she wears; they’re valuable collectables so she keeps them in sealed vacuum bags in a foot-locker at her mother’s apartment.
DoA Book 9: What The What Is This?
It’s good to see that Amber’s priorities are straight in her own mind l
I wonder who ‘she’ might be? Has Amber been talking things through with Amazi-Girl?
Pretty sure that’s just standard third-person narration, as people are known to do under their breath now and again.
…he said smugly.
I think she’s just narrating out loud. Every single person on Earth does it.
ah, I missed the tiny comma. Consider these two sentences, or sentence fragments:
“… she said to appear normal.”
“… she said, to appear normal.”
And her clothes, I guess.
No worries, Amber. The velociraptor won’t hurt anything, I guess.
Well, unless it falls on you.
“Oh God, what if these two dinosaur-hat-kink-weirdos think I’m not normal in any way, shape or form when I deal with the situation of them
‘checks notes’
dragging a giant plush dinosaur into our common space as part of some kind of weird courtship ritual.”
I assume that what she’s really concerned about is access to her Amazi-Girl costume, concealed behind the Transformers display.
How far is Becky’s apartment from the campus? Could Dina move in?
Let’s see.
Becky’s apartment is just next to blowjob cat.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2019/comic/book-9-comic/03-sometimes-the-sky-was-so-far-away/baby/
Blowjob-cat is further away from Campus than Jacob’s church (which is stil on comfortable walking distance)
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-8/01-face-the-strange/worshipleader/
It’s near downtown, along the seventh, accessible by bike
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/04-the-do-list/border/
So, yes, distance is not an obstacle.
There might be problems with campus regulations and the general iffiniess in Becky’s longterm acceptability to the apartment, though.
And it’s not too far from a Taco Bell. Now that Becky has some money…
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/04-the-do-list/border/
I’d say Ambers priorities are juuuust fine
The self-awareness in that last Amber speech bubble is so very relatable.
OK, ok, sweet gesture on Becky’s part but maybe she didn’t think it all the way through.
Right there with you, Amber.
Next step on her path to corruption, rent Dina a bigger room.
Everyone’s been pretty on-brand these last couple strips.
Can bonus page be Dina taking a happy nap on the giant velociraptor? While dreaming about her and Becky riding motorcycles alongside many correctly feathered ones?
I know it probably isn’t the most convenient considering their dorms are small, but if my partner bought me a giant fuzzy Pokemon plush I’m pretty sure convenience would be the last thing on my mind. ♡
Now I’m imagining Bruce Wayne saying something and Alfred retorting, “He said, to appear normal.”
