I get why Madison is letting Jessica get away with this but why are her other friends like this. What kind of magic or hypnosis did David use to solve fix their problems that quickly.

I'm also talking about the page comment. Is Taeshi being serious? Are we supposed to see what's happening in the comic as a bad thing despite how it's portrayed? Or is she acknowledging this is stupid irl while it's somehow fine in-story? Or is Taeshi being completely straig here because she's insane?

I got drunk and accidentally ran over a homeless dude with my car.

Thus, I can reveal that Monday's page is Jess being confused that the conflict was so easily resolved and that everyone is content just because all their expies got happy endings. David shrugs about his magic powers of persuasion and fucks off back to Memeistan. Rachel and Matt gush about what they think happened to their characters after the play ended and how the play was fantastic, whilst Madison is pissed and yells that it's the exact same fucking play they were bitching about not even ten minutes ago.

Nope. Nothing's going to happen except that Paulo's going to be a soggy bitch when he realizes that James was crushing on Mike before he'd even met Paulo. (This despite Paulo supposedly being in love with Daisy)

So in true taeshi fashion, instead of tackling the issue by giving him an actual arc or giving him something to explore, she just shoves him everywhere while keeping him the same?

Like, the track team stuff just has him as an obstacle, and the last page felt like he was talking at the audience more than the characters.

This (in-universe) gaslighting is so incredibly blatant, I'm annoyed that it's working. Can't these fuckers have some self-respect, and not go "Oh Jessica, you're so gracious for portraying us as a dumb slut, a spineless loser, and a cruel simp, respectively."? Even Madison has apparently forgiven and forgotten that she's a replacement for Lucy.

Madison is desperate. Like Mike, she doesn't think she's worth anyone's time so now that she's got a girlfriend she will do anything to stay together. If that means watching her girlfriend lament about not being able to get with the girl Madison is replacing or acting to be more like the original, she will. She's got it as had as Mike.

I feel like Madison is the opposite, someone who constantly craves Jessica's validation at every turn by demanding it. Mike is more like one who wants it but keeps quiet or frequently self-hates. Madison also does seem to visciously come to Jessica's defense. And yeah you're right, impressive.

Honestly, I think she might have it worse on that front. The two whitecats are both awful girlfriends in different ways, but at least they want Mike, not someone who Mike reminds them of. And neither of them are as psychotic as Jess; Lucy is spiteful, but not "invite Tess's boyfriend out after they have a fight, liquor him up and fuck him in the bathroom" level spiteful. Madison has legitimate reason to fear that if they break up, Jessica will try to ruin her life.

Wouldn't Jessica have to be fearful of Madison spreading what she did to Paulo? And yeah they're good candidates for the "match made in toxic girlboss feminism polycule circle". Their motto is "We'll abuse men and pretend it's courage". Yeah you know what maybe the three should bang and leave everyone else alone, let Mike, Paulo, Daisy, James, and whoever else find more generous partners. Sandy is morally better for Mike than Lucy as a partner, I'll die on that hill cause cheating doesn't compare to physical abuse. Honestly at this point I wouldn't be shocked if the future arc is Alejandro raping Lucy just to teach her a lesson on humility that leads her to be nicer to others. Not that I'd praise that but she's so incapable of listening to sense.

By the way, I should point out that speaking of a guy finding love, when is Matt finally going to realize that there's no visible homophobia in Roseville High? He's insecure about expressing his sexuality yet there are seven horny track team boys who would gladly throw themselves at him. Two are lovestruck simps and one had a break up.
