Seems like this chapter might end disappointingly, but I'm enjoying the Sue and Amaya until that happens. I hope that Madison being the only other one to see that this is bullshit factors in, i wanna see her be something other than Jessica's Lucyslave for once.

>>149421240 (OP)
...is this just the chapter that was supposed to be instead of Jessica's play? Did it get cut into two halves as Taeshi chose to make entirety of Jessica's play longer, it's own standalone chapter and a setup for her favourite "jerks to kind people are funny"? With first pages and David diffusing the joke taken too seriously by fans who wanted to see something lasting and with consequences happen to anyone

>>149421240 (OP)
David is the Patrick Star of the comic
That's it, that's all i wanted to say, bye!

I have been beset by storms both mundane and metaphorical in the wake of my slaughter at the Fallen desert, apparently at the hands of wrathful gods seeking to avenge the followers of their dead kin. In order to appease them, I was forced to rip the wisdom teeth from my jaw and offer them up in sacrifice. In the pain, I was granted sight of Friday's page.

Sue continues to hobble along, enraged by David's snubbing of her play, yelling about how he gave her so much shit and made her feel like an absolute dumbass. She then switches targets, saying that she knows she shouldn't listen to Paulo or Madison, then scoffs at the idea of Paulo having an original thought and decides him and David sharing a braincell is where this disdain for her play comes from. She then looks sad and says that no one wanted to talk about or cared about her play unless it was to shit on her and that fucking hurts a lot. She then questions if her idea was really so terrible, potentially referencing her using the play to try and get Mike and Lucy to get along again.

>>149423280
YES! PAULO MENTIONED! PAULOXSUE LET'S GOOOO

Has anyone ever been allowed to actually throw shade at David or does he have meme immunity?

How big is Amaya's penis?

>>149421340
At this point I fully expect Sue to get struck by lightning the moment she tries to talk to anyone other than Amaya about how she feels. It being a clear day and indoors doesn't matter, Sue must suffer for her sin of being a lame nerd in the eyes of le demiurge.

But seriously, there's something weird to me about how the characters that get shit on are all "nerds" - Abbey, Mike, Sue. When combined with the way the comic frames being an asshole unprompted as cool and funny, it feels like highschool bully apologia.

Not BCB but I drew Scaleknight194's characters.

10 pages in, we're getting to the fucking point. I'm trying to figure out what change in Sue's outlook we're in for, but I suspect she'll get the praise she's looking for by the end of the chapter. I'm basing this on those pics of Madison and James fawning over the play. Or James was fawning anyway, can't remember Madison's expression.

Anyway, thanks again anon.

>>149423887
>neither of them will sit with Sue
Incorrect

God Sue being jealous of David of all people makes me so happy. She's bullying herself now!

>>149424050
My prediction: this is a dream Paulo will be having in 127, Taeshi posted it to throw people off. This chapter: Paulo spergs out that he popped Lucy's cherry at the play because he's a soggy bitch with an inferiority complex and is super bitter that James and Lucy prefer Mike. Lucy hears him and his bragging confirms Lucy's paranoia

>>149424377
That doesn't make any sense

>>149424439
As far as I can tell, the dream theory became popular due to an interpretation of the notes on a sketch page regarding coloring. A certain panel overlaid Paulo in brown and it could be read as dream monochrome. Personally I think too many other leaks/spoilers point to the scene being real. Also Mike leaving would be actually interesting, so I don't want it to be fake.

>>149423280
Thank you anon for taking such perilous journeys every page

>>149421240 (OP)
Taeshi forgot how to draw Mike and Sue for some reason and it's really jarring

Stealing and hiding Sue's crutches!

>>149424885
I'm not seeing it. I mean they're frizzier, Mike in particular, but I think that's on purpose to show their mental state.

>>149425088
She keeps squishing their faces into the bottom half of their head, Sue doesn't even look like a BCB character in the third panel and Mike's been getting fucked up really badly since the focus came back to him too
I'll make examples later but it's really bad

>>149425121
It looks like they're just supposed to be looking down, and it looks wonky. Maybe because of the way her ears are back? I'd be interested to see if you can find a character with their head angled down that doesn't look like this, while you're example hunting.

>>149425088
Frizzier Mike is honestly a significant improvement. He was way too smooth before and needed *something* to add a little character.

>>149425121
That's just Taeshi being awful at perspective. She can't actually angle their heads correctly so when the characters look down, she simply draws their heads at the usual angles and pushes the facial features down.

>>149424377
>this is a dream Paulo will be having
It better fucking not be. I'm so sick of this status quo and how it barely ever moves. Paisy was a shakeup but honestly who gives a damn about that tepid void of a ship? I want to see the sword that's been hanging over Mike's head all this time finally drop.

Anyone know how BCB 2.0 is doing these days

>>149425121
>Sue doesn't even look like a BCB character in the third panel
She's looking down. It's quite obvious.

another filler chapter
just a reminder the last chapter with any real plot was Third Wheel already 4 months ago

>>149423280
Well, she'll either expand her target list to include Mike because he took her attempt to help for granted, or else this chapter will be just as useless as the previous play chapter turned out to be.

>>149425231
>pic name
She comes off as more of a Sandy to me, as written by a competent author. The violent rabbit girl seems like a Lucy with different brain problems. Or perhaps a Lucy crossed with a Mike.

>>149425231
looks like the brat is going to try to shoplift for the thrill and knowing this comic Mary will prob take the fall

>>149425315
>>149425231
I stopped following this since the dumbass writer went over 20 possible plots and didn't pick even 1 because it's clear she doesn't have enough time to actually drawfag these.

>>149421240 (OP)
God BCB needs a Total Drama Island reboot. They'd fit perfectly.

They'd also be perfect for crossovers from different writers cause you'd see how the writer/characters interact completely differently.
Once you've seen writer you memorize their behaviour and no matter how many new characters they pop out they seem fall to their same old behavioural quirks, vocabulary, prose, etc. since it's impossible to become a completely different person to write in a whole new way unless you're suffering from multiple personality disorder. It's obvious whenever the characters argue with each other that it's just 1 person arguing with himself.

>>149425231
Yes it's obvious, who said it wasn't?
That's not why she looks weird unless you think they've never looked down before, she's weird looking in a significant portion of this chapter and she's not looking down in most of them.

>>149424591
As in the comic being a dream? Yeah I doubt that, if Veronica is as prideful of her stories as I am, she won't use dreams as much as I don't use time travel.
>>149425231
Lucy? I always felt Fauna was inspired by Sandy.
Mary= Lucy. Devin= Mike. Clover= Daisy.
>>149425315
Augustus being their shoplift tutor= approved.

>>149426740
She's already used dreams at least twice. Lucy had her wonderland dream as a means of further exploring her hopes and insecurities while Mike was cursed with prophesy. But I seriously doubt the previews show a dream because it's too coherent. Also the whole brown background thing is stupid since we've seen plenty of those as shitty visual shorthand to describe character feelings.

>>149426800
Oh, you mean that. I absolutely loved those dream chapters. Thought you were referring to like, entire chapters or arcs telling a progressive story and it turning out to be a dream, which may or may not be good for narrative.

>>149423328
Easy now, tiger.

This isn't anything she doesn't know. Though it is interesting she even mentions Paulo at all seeing he had nothing to do with the scene that she's walking away from, he really does live in her head rent free.

>>149427866
It's almost like Sue holds grudges or something. Too bad that Paulo is taken in either case. Saulo would have blown Paisy out of the water.

>>149421240 (OP)
A very simple idea. A bed bowl. Perfect for the inevitable polycule of Bittersweet Candy Bowl to make out, make love, and sleep in. It's a few tens of feet long, I imagine you put it in a mansion somehow.

Basically an intrusively romantic thought she can't remove.

Mary is just Lucy if she had autism instead of BPD

>>149429339
Lol, sounds fitting. I wonder if Lucy could be autistic, or if Mary could be bipolar. Still they'd get along nicely.
Fauna and Mary are also likely the Sandy and Lucy we may never see.

>>149425308
Absolutely. Fauna is a young, cheerful, enthusiastic model with a controlling vicarious mother, and Mary is a socially awkward and temper prone, it's no surprise where Thea got inspiration.

>>149423280
>She then looks sad and says that no one wanted to talk about or cared about her play unless it was to shit on her and that fucking hurts a lot.
She should go hang out with Abbey, he appreciated her play on its artistic merits. PLUS, he's the kind of guy who would happily help her carry her things while she's in crutches!

>>149429339
So a significant improvement, then.

>>149425231
What is this called, been seeing it a lot lately

>>149429490
Bleating Heart by Thea "Flak0ps".

>>149423280
I'm enjoying this new concept in BCB where a character suffers the consequences of their own actions. Sue bullying is fun, but maybe someone should do this to Lucy as well.

>>149424885
>>149425121
I kind of agree anon, but I don't think it's limited to Mike and Sue. Rachel and Lucy have looked weird at times too. Sometimes they look bald, other times the scruff on top or sides of their heads makes it look like they were given a buzzcut that left the hair low on their heads, like the world's worst tonsure.

I think the issue is a combination of perspective as >>149425189 said, plus a lack of shading, weird face/head proportions, chibi-esc visuals, and their heads just being drawn so uncannily round.

>>149427866
> he really does live in her head rent free
Now you're talking my language.
And since we both know she wouldn't dare to confront David (as his clown powers would destroy her last shreds of self-esteem), she's gonna find Paulo to finally give him some piece of her mind and then... let's just say he's gonna get a piece of her alright.

>>149429339
Mary is also poor and a lesbian
incredibly it is an improvement

>>149431703
Since it's B.C.B I'll imagine Lucy likely is too. Thinking about it, Mary (and Jessica) may likely be lesbian and not bisexual, at least going by observational indications.

>>149432146
Lucy was recently "confirmed" straight by word of Taeshi on a bluesky post.

>>149432396
Nice! I have always imagined her finding Sandy attractive when she comes over on the 14th, potentially forced to interact with her too.

>>149432418
That could be interesting simply because Lucy despises Sandy on a personal level, but more likely tiresome because the comic is already inundated with non-thematic, anachronistic LGBT stuff. Lucy having a crush or whatever on Sandy would just come across as another trite little tumblrism, and a cheap one at that. It would have been far more interesting if Lucy got suckered into sympathizing with Sandy without any convenient sexuality changes running interference.

>>149432509
Yeah, that was the idea, that Lucy could want to force herself to hate Sandy, but just can't because she's so nice to her and Mike. The potential for an interesting dynamic could be a first step to enhancing the comic even further. Plus Matt doesn't know how many resident gay icons would be dying to date him.
I'm cool with either outcome, Lucy either crushing on Sandy or sympathizing with her., an interaction between the two would make for an interesting arc.

I miss reasonably sized heads

>>149432897
>but just can't because she's so nice to her and Mike
Well that's the rub, isn't it? Taeshi went and ruined Sandy as a character, so it should be very easy for Lucy to pick up on her tells and stay skeptical. At this point, the far more likely outcomes are as follows:
>Sandy hones in on Lucy's insecurities which pisses Worst Cat off and makes her easy to one-up
>Lucy effortlessly dismantles Sandy in a whirl of girlbossing to demonstrate that she is the better White Cat of Suffering
>Sandy and Lucy never meet because Taeshi loves unsatisfying resolutions for some reason

>>149432936
I miss when Taeshi genuinely tried to improve. Curating her audience and embracing asskissing tumblrites was a huge mistake.

>>149433044
>Sandy hones in on Lucy's insecurities which pisses Worst Cat off and makes her easy to one-up
I can easily see this one happening. Sandy's been dealing with the cutthroat world of modelling for years and should be honed to a knife's edge when it comes to psychological warfare, as we saw with her running circles around Mike's reasonable arguments as to why they need to break up. Lucy is a bundle of insecurities and rage who can't hack it without having someone constantly being her caretaker.

>>149433240
>can't hack it without having someone constantly being her caretaker
Which Lucy keeps vehemently denying, getting upset at her family for keeping tabs on he. Meanwhile, she convinces them to take her most recent security blanket under their roof despite knowing nothing more than whatever glazing their crazy daughter gave him. Lucy hates the idea that she's a parasite or a burden but is doing the same old damn thing with mildly improved people skills.

>>149433044
The way I see it, Sandy just doesn't get enough comic time to dive into the difficulties of her work life and how her job and long distance relatioinship affect her psychologically, she's mostly cast aside in favor ot the main cast. I'm expecting Lucy and Sandy to fight over Mike in the future, or who's the better and worse person, why the other sucks (for cheating and physical abuse) and why they're better for Mike and as people than the other. It would be interesting. Maybe worse case, Lucy will actually hit her, potentially regret it. Them not meeting could just as easily tell a good story, it would just be too good of potential to waste.

>>149433697
>I'm expecting Lucy and Sandy to fight over Mike in the future
Good luck explaining how that happens. Lucy wants absolutely nothing to do with Mike so long as Sandy is in the picture. In Lucy's mind, she will always lose to Sandy so fighting for Mike is pointless. And that's once you get past her denial about wanting Mike at all. Plus there's however he factors into Lucy's weird PTSD rape-betrayal dream, some other psychological wall to deal with.

>>149429427
Mike, Sue, is there anybody that can't be fixed by hanging out with Abbey? It's too bad he doesn't exist anymore.

>>149433397
As aware as Taeshi sometimes seems about Lucy's dependency problems, I still really struggle to imagine her writing her still having them after getting her spot at the table back. Even less likely than that is Lucy managing to do something Gus can't just blame Mike for.

>>149433240
Sandy pulling her manipulative bullshit on at least one member of the group would be pretty interesting to see. Lucy's definitely a good pick. I think everybody has kind of a vague dislike of Sandy as the supposed cause of Mike's behavior, but it would be neat to see them deal with her bad side firsthand.

>>149434735
>I still really struggle to imagine her writing her still having them after getting her spot at the table back.
Taeshi just dropping it on a whim is all too like her. But at the same time I can easily imagine Lucy getting wound up tighter and tighter as she keeps trying to shrug off these people she refuses to trust, with no pressure valve.

>>149434005
If it stems primarily from envy for Mike not being her boyfriend, she might lust over him and feel determined to witchhunt Sandy either for him or to spite her. We'll see. After all that mess, maybe they'll have a long talk about their commonalities and exchange apologies.

>>149434005
Sandy has always been this distant entity that Lucy has been haunted by and could never compete with, never even so much as touch. Sandy as a flesh and blood person right in front of her, though? It's not out of the question for Lucy's BPD ass to lock horns with her in an attempt to finally assert dominance and prove her superiority. Which, of course, is a battle she'd lose, potentially losing her temper and hitting Sandy like >>149433697 said, and giving her a black-eye or some other physical mark which fucks up her career, further chaining Mike to Sandy because now she's been wounded as a result of being around him. Taeshi can then milk the self-loathing of Lucy and the resultant tender footedness of the friend group around her for years.

>>149435168
Lucy ain't trying right now and there's no reason for her to suddenly start just to make a plot happen. You need to actually come up with a change to the status quo.

>>149435194
This change seems plausible, though I suspect that Taeshi does not want Sandy and Lucy in the same room together.

>Taeshi can then milk the self-loathing of Lucy and the resultant tender footedness of the friend group around her for years
I don't know about this one. The friend group isn't exactly thrilled about Sandy and they (well, mostly Paulo but only because he's the one glimpsing her nastier side) seem primed to make excuses for Lucy no matter what she does. Maybe it could happen if Lucy was carelessly guts everyone because BPD defense mode, but that's just a repeat of Sperg Mike. The scenario also requires Lucy to have a consistent sense of self-awareness. We've seen that she will more often demonize or delegitimize whoever is trying to hammer a point through her thick skull. Her friends "abandoning" her is something she could easily dismiss because Lucy doesn't trust them.

>>149435525
I did write that Sandy was a contributing factor to Lucy being isolated, maybe what can happen is that the attention she gets from friends is shifted to Sandy. But it's more plausible that her desire to blame Sandy for her insecurities and spite her would be ar eason.

>>149435194
Lucy assaulting Sandy would make Mike resent her potentially without reverse.

>>149435525
>The friend group isn't exactly thrilled about Sandy and they (well, mostly Paulo but only because he's the one glimpsing her nastier side) seem primed to make excuses for Lucy no matter what she does.
They might not like Sandy, but full on assaulting her and causing her career to suffer a major setback would be a bridge too far for them. They wouldn't abandon Lucy, but every bit of sympathy she had from Mike's treatment of her would evaporate and he would be the unmistakably injured party once again.

>>149435738
Probably. It would certainly take the wind out of her "Mike is such a cruel monster" sails and mean that she's the one having to prove herself a good person and not the other way around.

>>149436099
Nothing short of saving Mike from Alejandro may change his mind.

>>149436046
Hmm I wonder what I, a member of The Table, will prioritize
>the feelings of my dear friend Lucy who tried to kill herself and I only recently got to sit with me again
>that asshole Mike's bitch girlfriend not being photogenic for a while

This ain't the Lucy-killer folks

>>149435525
Yeah I think any meeting between Lucy and Sandy would have to be by chance. I don't think she'd balk at the chance to say something though, once it was there. She has this obsession with fixing her friends' social lives and she does still care about Mike in spite of herself. And the two of them being who they are, it would snowball.

>>149436424
Do you really think they're going to ostracize Mike in the wake of his girlfriend getting attacked? Sue fucking hates Paulo and even she was horrified at Mike hitting him.

>>149436544
He gets ostracized next chapter so I'm imagining hes already on the outs as this is happening

>even she was horrified at Mike hitting him
She ran after Mike to check on him; she didnt stay to comfort Paulo. She was also pretty happy about Abbey assaulting Paulo when they talked abt it at Daisy's party. So I dont think assault is an absolute dealbreaker, especially not for Lucy. Plus you say "getting attacked" like she was mauled by a bear or mugged or something. A catfight isn't on that level.

>>149436046
Which is why it won't happen. Sandy got demoted from "character" to "villain" offscreen, and while there are NUMEROUS retcons and backpedals in BCB, all the ones that involve Sandy have been about making her look worse, not better.
>Francis is 20-something, oh wait no that would make Sandy a victim, he's her age
>Sandy was a bad friend to Daisy
>Sandy loves Mike and wants him to be happy... nah actually she ghosts him and doesn't much care
>Sandy resents her job and isn't happy with her life, nevermind she loves being a model and everything that comes with it

>>149436046
The group resenting Lucy for that would be too juicy to pass up. Especially if she injured Sandy so badly that her injury jeopordized her means of salary. Any sympathy Sandy had for Lucy would also evaporate.
>>149436985
Sandy is speaking to Miek but it would be nice to see that more often. I imagine she resents her mom too, something I see Fauna doing in the future too.

>AbbeyxSue anon is dead
>Story didn't even get to the point in their relationship where they'd feel comfortable kissing each other
Sue is a tragic character

Amaya is cool

>>149437147
Honestly Mike is the most tragic, for most of his life his friends were fake, only wanting to gain something from him, he was physically abused at a young age by someone he was close to, trusted, tried to seek approval from, impress, and help (I can relate), basically having to play child psychiatrist with her, and this reality is largely unknown to his and her families, their friends, and even when they acknowledge it they think he's making a big deal of nothing, actively shame his relationship with another childhood crush egging him on to date his abuser, and yet after all the pain he puts himself through to please them they give him almost nothing in return, and currently he's self-hating with nobody caring.
I'm waiting for the chapter where Mike hangs himself with his scarf, can't tell me that won't happen.

>>149436424

>She has this obsession with fixing her friends' social lives
I'd say "infrequent bouts of meddling," and often they are fueled by her own hypocrisy.

>>149437992
At this point I assume Taeshi will go the pottery route and invert the roles Mike and Lucy had in the play. Of course that would require Lucy re-learning how to be less selfish and more heroic but that's certainly not a bad thing. Extra points if Mike sincerely believes he's the villain of the story and keeps shoving her away.

>>149437303
>>>149437147
>Honestly Mike is the most tragic, for most of his life his friends were fake, only wanting to gain something from him, he was physically abused at a young age by someone he was close to, trusted, tried to seek approval from, impress, and help (I can relate), basically having to play child psychiatrist with her, and this reality is largely unknown to his and her families, their friends, and even when they acknowledge it they think he's making a big deal of nothing, actively shame his relationship with another childhood crush egging him on to date his abuser, and yet after all the pain he puts himself through to please them they give him almost nothing in return, and currently he's self-hating with nobody caring.
I swear I have read a book or manga similar to this at one point in my life, but i can't remember what.

>>149437303
If I can parse whatever the hell Taeshi is going for, Mike's current struggle is learning to balance his perceived obligations to others with his own happiness. And it looks like he is about to be heavily punished for that.

>>149437183
Hell yeah :D

>>149424439
Do you really think that logic has stopped Taeshit since like...Post acapulco?

>>149438182
If you can remember I'd love to read it.
>>149438234
He's suffering circumstantially, he is a main character and sympathy has to be built, at a point it'll pay off hopefully when someone lifts him out of his depression.

How the fuck is this still going. It was supposed to be "in its final arc" in 2016, that was 9 fucking years ago. I remember that faggot Suit namefaggoting on /co/ in 2017 talking about the next part of his career/new projects for Taeshi, apparently those never materialized. Fat fuck.

>>149439513
It was supposed to end in 2013 when Lucy left, everything that came after was Taeshi making entirely new storylines despite them not making sense

>>149425315
I thought the blonde girl was somewhat normal if not a little weird, what happened?

>>149439832
Actually, 2013 was a point where she gave herself permission to end the comic early. She definitely did not intend for it to end in such a dark place originally--that was a result of her depression and eventual breakdown.

>>149439513
What's the final arc that was spoken of then?
>>149439832
Actually I find the current storylines to be pretty strong, though not as emotionally peak as December.
>>149439896
Isn't everyone a little weird in their own way?>>149439943
That's pretty sad.

>>149439974
It is a tragedy story made by a mentally ill furry women(?), either they are hecking valid and quirky in a safe cookie cutter way, or actually messed up.

>>149439943
I mean yeah, that is the official party position, but who cares what they say now?
None of the character's storylines survived Lucy leaving, most of them changed radically to keep the comic going like Sandy turning into a cheating whore so Mike can have something to do, or Paulo suddenly being obsessed with Daisy, or Lucy coming back a completely different character, Mike isn't even mad at Lucy for all the reasons that were left unsolved before she left
It might as well be a reboot for all the good volume 1-4 do for the latest chapters

>>149439896
What do you mean? To me this reads like a normal thing to assure someone

>>149440027
>I mean yeah, that is the official party position
It's also basic common sense. Besides, many of the comic's problems appear to be the result of prolonged thumb twiddling and then trying to force ancient plotpoints with characters that are now poorly suited to their roles.

You think Thea's and Scaleknight194's characters will ever go down the same complex dynamic road of conflict as Veronica's? I do think at some point Mary will develop stronger romantic feelings for Fauna and she'll wind up treating her like an accessory or slave, leads to a falling out.

Common sense is realizing the part of the story that ended all of the character's storylines and abandoned the rest was clearly the end of the story, considering they stated over and over it was going to end in 2013 on the "about" page until it actually came time to end.

Common sense is realizing the person who wrote volume 1 of Bittersweet Candy Bowl definitely did not intend for it to end with the main character killing herself. Obviously if it was meant to end in 2013, the original outline was a much happier one. But considering that the December era coincided with Taeshi's declining mental health and eventual stay at the funny farm, along with her hazy "maybe I'll keep going, maybe I won't" statement, that's a pretty good indication that the storyline got darker alongside her outlook and mood.

You're also looking at the storylines the wrong way. Character storylines didn't end; they went into cryostasis. Progression in the comic pretty much flatlined until Lucy came back. What we got were some cutesy, nonessential sidestories sprinkled throughout the Paulo Show era, infamous for its love of the reset button. Then right around the time Lucy comes back and onward, suddenly the plotpoints start going off all over the place. Why? Because Taeshi had plot ideas on the backburner and refused to advance them without Lucy around.
