So I guess this makes Kit a U-Haul lesbian?  Or, wait, no Poppy was the one who referenced two dates. Kit is a level even beyond a U-Haul lesbian.

My elementary school gym teacher was so old that she'd also taught P.E. to our middle-aged principal. She had a name out of a loving sitcom - Mrs. Fiesler (pronounced fees-lurr) - and was exactly as senile and mean as you'd imagine.

Renaissance Robot posted:I seriously can't tell if Kit's asking Poppy to marry her or if she's all "hey let's go find a couple dudes somewhere and get double married, that sounds like fun". I'm guessing that the plan is twofold: 1) Enthrone Poppy, so she'll be in charge of running the kingdom and Kit can concentrate fully on her research without having to worry about the little things anymore 2) Ensure that Lily will have a family and future after Poppy finally gives out from her heart condition.

S'funny, after you linked Poppy's most recent strip I wound up reading 3/4 of it in reverse order. The conclusion I came to is that, had I read it in the proper order, I probably would have gotten about halfway through, stopped and just lost track of it the way I've done with so many other webcomics. Not to say that the early strip was bad, but to see the improvements, and the payoff to bits that were hinted at before made me more confident in the story to come. You know, now that I have to read it in linear time like the rest of the peons, and all.

Yeah I'm pretty sure she just has a crush on Poppy, as has been implied for a long while now. And is realizing that without a husband in Poppy's life - which she assumed she had, since she has a kid - she can act on it.

The shared a pretty tender moment in that last scene. I'd be surprised if Kit's motivation is anything but romantic. Poppy seems pretty into it too.

Between her original reaction to Kit calling her beautiful, her protective reaction to Kit's huge rear end in a top hat aunt, and various character moments like this one http://www.poppy-opossum.com/comic/poppy-6-page-5/ I'd say an argument could be made that the feeling is mostly mutual. World Famous W posted:There is no way in hell the rest of the kingdom would allow a possum on the throne. Agreed. There's no way this isn't going to cause a bunch of complications that oscillate wildly between hilarious and depressing.

Poppy's being a good friend and trying to help fill in some gaping emotional holes that Kit has, and she is currently rolling with an embarrassing situation with extreme grace, but she hasn't really shown any desire to date anyone as she wants to concentrate on raising Lily with what little life she has left, and I saw her feelings towards Kit as more of a motherly friendship from someone who really likes to help people out than a blossoming romance. I can totally see Kit genuinely asking her out, but that's not how I read Poppy's point of view at all.

Also, given that possum lifespan is established as 'frighteningly short', it kind of makes sense that her expectations for dating before marriage are really brief. I mean, it's not guaranteed that Poppy's actually into Kit, but I can see it going either way, really.

This is entirely possibly true. Personally, I just read it as Poppy's default state of being semi-guarded. Recall her conversation with Kit about so called benevolent rulers establishing amnesty, then going on possum lynching sprees once people take the bait. If you'd been through that, and all the other bullshit she puts up with as a dehumanized minority, it'd be hard not to be sort of reflexively distant. Edit: But on the third hand, reading the last three panels again doesn't really read as "rolling with an embarrassing situation with extreme grace". It reads like engaging with the proposition completely straight faced, especially the sudden reconsideration "because two dates minimum  ". Lord of Hats might be closer to on the money.

I think it's worth pointing out that Poppy assumes a very real possibility of just up and dying at any point within the next six years, so finding someone who is personally invested in looking after Lily "just in case" is an understandable priority for her.

Out of idle curiosity, how much of that is the heart condition and how much is "being a possum"? Her life expectancy, I mean.

Wittgen posted:Magic, probably. Band vs Band by Kathleen Jacques is candy-coated lesbian heroin. EDIT: I mean, if you're looking for high stakes and dramatic crying, BVB ain't your ballpark. The conflict is basically "Two bands are local rivals, but the lead singers are extremely hate-hot for each other and won't admit it to themselves, and the internet doesn't exists so they can't even vent about their sexual repression through vague tweets." There IS a lot of singing, however. gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Jun 6, 2016 |

The old April Fools Double Gambit, where the prank is that the stuff that is obviously too ridiculous to be real is actually true. I'm just waiting for the reveal that Petunia had been a fish in disguise all this time, which IMO shouldn't be long now.
