I'm always amazed loan sharks like get away with it in real life. You think they'd experience an "accident" of some sort sooner rather than later, considering the sort of circles they run and the people they must invariable piss off either directly or by messing with someone they know.

There's still time for him to get eaten by something terrible like a hell bear, though.

the circles they run in and people they piss off are the folks with no real resources who the cops already have no problem loving in the rear end for any or no reason. Nobody's giving giving payday loans to, like, druglords or whatever

My guess is that Daz, due to his mounting frustrations and keen inability to make good decisions, will flirt with Blossom. Blossom, head-over-heels for Daz, will confide in him Shauna's secret. Shauna will get the poo poo beaten out of her by her Chav-as-gently caress rear end in a top hat brother.

Alright, so I guess it's more "Blossom, pissed off by Shauna blabbing her feelings to Daz, will confide in him the secret" but I'm still totally calling this once poo poo goes down. :getin:

Yeah, well, you'll notice that Shauna has been her closest friend since they were like 4 or whatever and suddenly Shauna is spending way too much time with someone that isn't even to Lottie's liking. Teenagers don't act mature about this stuff. At all.

Darren's actually turned out to be a great character. You know, you just know that he's talking with Blossom because he felt guilty for what Shauna told him. And then bombs were dropped and he may be back all the way to square one, but that's how life rolls sometimes.

You all called me crazy, said this would never happen. I totally loving called it, swish. :thurman:

Edit: But in all seriousness, I went back and looked at the strips again, and I don't think she has a black eye. In the one before that, you can see that discoloration around her eyes too, I think it's just eyeshadow or makeup or something. She's running because she turned and booked it once she realized Blossom blabbed her secret.

Double Edit: Gotta give props to DP for this, too:

Linton wasn't actually talking about Claire, there. They are watching bunnies do what bunnies do and that was the first word that came to mind as he saw it.

With Colm laying all his cards on the table and casually outing Claire's uh, tendencies, I think this is gonna get raw and awkward.

I'm not even sure he actually wants her back at this point. I'm not sure if he's sure.

Colm's being an arse, but Linton isn't exactly covering himself in glory either. OTOH, maybe Claire likes violence and chaos. So...

It's complicated.

Are you ready for my Lock of the Week prediction?



Claire runs over to Colm, because he's hurt. He confesses his true feelings, which she reciprocates. Linton gets pissed because he won, earning him scorn from everyone for treating claire like a prize to be earned.

He runs away, runs into Blossom, they connect and end up dating. Two weeks later, Linton and Blossom beat the poo poo out of the entire school. :black101:

She better not. The look that Blossom gave her when she noticed Shauna was looking at her and Darren just after the former dropped the secret, that scornful "just hosed your life, uh" look? That's a sociopath thing. Shauna tried, she tried really hard, but in the end Blossom wasn't worth it at all.

I'm p. sure that's actually a mean teenager thing

Actually calculatingly loving your own family's life out of spite is way, way more 'sociopathic' than a hormonal teenager in the heat of the moment telling her crush some hot goss she heard from a girl who spills it to virtual strangers

I think you might be reading too much into stupid teenage drama. Teens can be stupid and mean without being sociopaths.

"Go on until you're stopped."
I think it's important to note that Shauna also remembers Blossom as the person who handed her over into the clutches of a mind-taking onion alien.

Like, this isn't the first time Blossom has done something terrible to Shauna out of spite.

Blossom doesn't seem any more innately awful than the average socially awkward teen but she keeps getting handed opportunities to exercise that awfulness in disastrous ways
