Aaaaaaagh this update is too precious. It seems like a tonne of people in this thread caught that this would happen and this whole time I thought it'd end up just being a silly robot thing. There's still a pretty good chance for incredibly depressing awkwardness though.

Kat ends up saying yes to a relationship with Paz. Paz starts to visit Kat at her and Annie's room. Annie starts to feel left out with Kat spending less time with her.

SHISHKABOB posted:Are you kidding, Paz is so passe. *yawn* She's a loving snore is what she is. I wrote a poem about it in tweet form. Well, Gunnerkrigg Court's decided to sink ships and hook Kat up with Paz, it seems. Interest completely hit rock bottom. Thanks, Tom! Oh good, generic gay romance #2,405,120. Yawn. No Kat/Alistair End, no reading. Paz's the least interesting female since Willow Rosenberg. And to Tom: gently caress you for not taking a god drat chance, you cowardly loving bitch. "Nope. Everyone has to be gay!" gently caress you. Remember the lesson GCC teaches us: Be gay, otherwise your peers won't like you. #GunnerkriggCourt #fuckingasshole #badendconfirmed Now I definitely need to get to work on writing a guide because otherwise the urge to strange that cowardly little prick won't go away. Yeah, can't do it. Hey @gunnerkrigg - good job sinking ships and ruining the comic, you weak god drat writer. @gunnerkrigg Can't have the main characters be straight/hetero, right? That's for the two designated 'weirdo' characters, huh? gently caress you, you prick. @gunnerkrigg No, really, it's nice of you to have a 'please stop reading now' arc. Real considerate of you. @gunnerkrigg - proving that making a straight/hetero character the lead isn't worth the trouble. You're really breakin' down barriers there, Tom. Hey kids: If you're straight, you should be off where you can't be seen. You must be gay. Remember the lessons that @gunnerkrigg taught us. loving makes me sick. Great, one more generic gay romance with a bland female lead. Good job @gunnerkrigg you loving coward. Need to go watch @TuckerMax say/do things to calm down. Stupid anti-straight bullshit ruining my morning. Off to Youtube I go...

SynthOrange posted:Geeheeheehee! No, poor unfortunate Chibisoma's post (and tweets, see above) will live forever. What made it funny was how very invested he was in his wilful misreading of Annie and Kat's relationship and to some extent the conversation with Jack that offended him so not going the way he thought it was. If Kat and Paz's exchange also didn't quite mean what he thought it did (which we now see is the case, on Paz's end), that might even make it a little funnier.

This is adorable, but I'm a little worried that Paz is going to be heartbroken at the end of this. I'm gay, and when I was Kat's age, I never even thought about the opposite sex. She's had plenty of crushes on men, and I can't remember her having any on women, so I think she'll reject Paz and it'll be super awkward for everyone involved.

To me it comes down to whether Kat would accept just to have a shot at romance at all, or reject to preserve her self-image. I suspect her decision won't actually have any basis in her opinion of Paz, so it'll probably end badly either way.

Haha, I thought so much. So what, now we switch perspective back to Annie? Or is it time for Kat to have her freakout and run to the forest? Cause we sure as hell ain't gonna see the rest of this scene on friday. Unless this is what Tom wants us to think and Kat does accept Paz's affection, and all the fakeout theories are  But seriously, last panel Paz is as gently caress

Okay, today was too cute, so I had to try my hand at making some avatars. Paz blushing in her sun hat, cleaned up and flipped so it's facing the posts, with and without borders:   Paz and Bobby:   I hope I did this right!

Sure, that's a possibility, and I didn't mean to entirely discount it, but that was really never the way their relationship was going and the funny part was his immense lightning-throwing wrath at being reminded of this. It would remain funny (or become more so) if everything somehow turned out the way he'd hoped after all.

I was kind of hoping Kat wouldn't shoot her down already, because more positive LGBT portrayals that don't involve being alien or weird as a matter of course is always a good thing. Now, I'm definitely hoping for it, because gently caress internet bigots who think being straight is some kind of loving cross to bear.

Even if this does turn out awkward or doesn't work out I'm still glad to see more of Kat and Paz interacting because they're both awesome characters, and it's been awhile since Paz has had her time in the spotlight. Also blushing Paz is ridiculously adorable.

Aww, this is adorable I just hope it doesn't end with Kat crapping all over Paz's feelings. Rejection makes you feel like poo poo regardless, and in this case it could couple with Kat's frustration that everyone assumes she is a lesbian and turn out really nasty.Magypsy posted:I'm gay, and when I was Kat's age, I never even thought about the opposite sex. She's had plenty of crushes on men, and I can't remember her having any on women, so I think she'll reject Paz and it'll be super awkward for everyone involved. Actually, that would be a great way to piss off straight bigots and gay bigots at the same time, since apparently there's a fair amount of discrimination against bisexuals among gays.

ABOUT DRUGS posted:Actually, that would be a great way to piss off straight bigots and gay bigots at the same time, since apparently there's a fair amount of discrimination against bisexuals among gays. As a gay guy, yeah, there is, and it's pretty awful.  If you're bi then the gay community is constantly accusing you of being fake or pretending to be gay for Discrimination Points, and if you ever actually DO end up long-term with someone the opposite sex then they're all "HAH see you're actually straight!" And women, whose sexuality tends to be more fluid than men, get a LOT more of it what with the whole stereotype of 'lesbian until graduation'.Whatever Tom does though I know he'll handle it well, and addressing certain issues about teenage sexuality could be really important, but I also just want everyone to be happy and everything to work out for Paz because she's adorable.

I'd be more nervous about how Kat might react to this, but I think as long as she doesn't immediately panic and remembers some very good advice Zimmy and Gamma gave her, this'll all turn out fine one way or another. Besides, all that bad luck of Paz's has to balance itself out somehow.

Yeah, there's an unfortunate amount of bigotry in the gay community in general-- often completely unnoticed by most of it. Some people seem to think that being a minority somehow gives you a pass on being a dick to other minorities, especially women (not technically a minority but you know what I mean), bisexuals, and trans people. It's like nobody even mentioned the golden rule to them, or something. Cabbit fucked around with this message at 16:09 on May 22, 2013 |
