Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
I could see some amusement in Marigold enlisting Elliott's help to make Dale jealous.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Shouldn't Marigold have been more concerned about Hannelore leaving considering that they're best friends? Seems like she wasn't in the loop about Hanners getting unceremoniously ejected from the storyline on a whim.
R.I.P. Wrecan, he was a true organizer and a gentleman.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Oh no interesting things with interesting characters are happening! Quickly, we must do another Marigold is insecure arc!
I'm mostly here for Warframe and a tiny bit of RWBY.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
/head desk Oh well
What interesting things were happening? Bubbles and faye are stuck in the same stasis they have been. Faye JUST dismissed the first sign of light for resolving that issue and went back to sleep. Aside from that there is nothing of interest happening at all even potentially."Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum"

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Ugh.
I guess when your comic is founded on relationship drama, sometimes you have to just gin some up out of the blue to keep things going.
See also, why characters in happy relationships appearing less often in the comic, why Dora and Martin broke up, why Angus moved to NYC, etc.It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.
Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.
The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Does she want you to Fight for her with a big apology or does she want you to let her cool off and discuss it later? Who can say? She won't tell you! She wants you to figure it out for yourself. Otherwise it doesn't mean as much. Communication is unromantic!
The truth is she doesn't know herself what she wants him to do. And either way he's wrong. If he lets her cool off, she'll stew over her own anger, missenterpretation, and insecurites and get twice as angry. If you chase after her she'll shout you down to back off.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
I'm by far not an expert - okay, I'm actually worse than Dale usually - but even I know that even when being honest choice of words matters.
Also... I guess we're in for a downer arc...

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
"You goober! All you had to say honestly was something like, "Meh, im not interested and neither is she, im with you and im happy."
Yeah that likely wouldnt have solved her insecurities, but it sure would have been better than "Yeah she is totally hotter smarter and funnier than you but I still like you more. No, really.""Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum"

That's funny, May has been a mentor figure all along. Very much like Momo.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Yeah work on your diplomacy skill. Though for most people there are people who are at the same time better looking (though that isn't the same as your SO being more attracted to them), smarter and funnier. (Even if the same obviously goes for the significant others of most people since they fall under most people themselves.) Your SO might not currently be in contact with one of those people but that is a flimsy basis for being secure in your relationship. And if there is one near I believe it isn't ultimately the best way to deal with your partnet seeing anyone in some way "better" than them as a threat by telling them that no there are no such people. Of course many diplomatic answers don't deny it and instead just avoid addressing it but I still feel avoiding the truth is detrimental to personal growth. The problem isn't that such people exist but how you deal with their existence (or with the fact that one day your partner might care more about someone other than you). Of course while you are dealing with jealousy might not be the best time for having to deal with those truths since it might not make you inclined to introspection. So diplomacy.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
I do have to give Dale credit--he did recognize that Marigold was jealous of Emily, which a lot of guys wouldn't have done.
Unfortunately, having diagnosed the situation correctly, he then totally failed in how he addressed the issue.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
I'm honestly looking forward to May's advice on the situation. She's fun, refreshingly direct.... And to be frank, the last time she intervened it was a glorious success.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
May being the adult in the room and the voice of reason, is a new experience too, right? :)
But she's right, they've both been idiots. That won't help Dale climb out of the hole he dug though.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
May will probably be his Best Man.
She hasn't started using her fists yet. But the conversation isn't over.
I wonder how Momo is handling her end of this. Maybe she's at work at the Library and unavailable to give Marigold the support, attention, and dope slaps she needs.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
I dont see why people whine about Relationship Drama before seeing how it plays out.
The entertainment derived by a work is never whats its about. Its always HOW its about it. You can have the most original premise in the world and blow it, or you can have the most played premise and make a true original masterpiece.
In that case, we get to see May berate Dale for his relationship clumsiness. I say its pretty fun.
