I wonder in what other ways Amaya manipulates Sue without her noticing

>>149490529 (OP)
Ha! Amaya's smile.
She did have good intentions for writing the play so she should be proud of that.

Amaya! :3

>>149490529 (OP)
I hope this ends well and sue realizes she did nothing wrong, or at least nothing worse than jessica. Her play was at least made with good intentions to bring her friends together, jessicas was made to shit on all of her friends. I don't know if itll end in a very satisfying way but this chapter does seem to be going in a good direction since david left it.

>>149490598
According to Veronica, Jessica genuinely didn't mean to. She was just clueless, thought she was writing an interesting story drawing inspirational parallels to her real life.

>>149490586

>>149490617
Even if it wasn't intentional, it does clearly betray her subconscious negative feelings towards her friends, unlike sues where she clearly respects both mike and lucy.

>>149490529 (OP)
Will Madison get all jealous and possessive again now that Jessica is trying to be nice to Sue? Replacement Lucy's gotta keep up the fight or she'll lose her GF

>>149490620
:3

>>149490620
Angel Amaya strikes again.
>>149490640
More like she does love her friends but unknowngly acknowledges what she considers to be their unusual or negative quirks.

>>149490529 (OP)
them hips

>>149490972
Breedable, child-bearing hips. Wasted on her shitty personality.

>>149491022
Easy now, those are Paulo's hips. I' say David but he can't breed her.

>>149490598
Trying to force Mike and Lucy together was wrong though.

>>149491407
She did intend to be helpful, didn't know it would backfire.

>>149490540
>Jessica and Madison's input
Get ready for a horseshit nuke in the megatons range.

>>149491430
Yeah, and that was arrogantly presumptuous of her.

>>149490540
Oh cool, that sketch panel we saw is finally here. James soon hopefully.

Goddamn what a boring ass nothingburger chapter.
Taeshi is truly creatively bankrupt, isn't she?
Who the FUCK even cares about these shitty play-sub-plots?

>>149492689
Me, I love all the subplots. The characters are interesting enough to carry them. As long as Veronica continues with an overarching one.

They love each other!

>>149492689
Sue fans are enjoying more Sue content, Sue haters are enjoying the Sue bullying

>>149492842
If I may propose...

>>149492689
Sue bringing up Mike and Lucy makes me think that's what the chapter is really supposed to be about. The play stuff was all just setup for whatever we're about to see. As much as I liked Jessica gaslight girlbossing in that older chapter, it unfortunately led to a bunch of pages in this chapter needing to be dedicated to defusing that.

>>149492842
I gotta admit, I don't really like Lucy but I definitely feel some kind of way going back to Eternal Flame and seeing how excited Lucy was to see Mike before he walked past her.

Taeshi asked for PxD and MxL art for Suit recently. I wonder how much MxL they managed to get after the ship had its corpse exhumed and desecrated.

I have journeyed to the base of the World Tree seeking the trail of the fell wyrm Nidhoggr, who ever chews upon the roots of Yggdrasil, in order to drink deeply of the sap which trickles down from the wounds he inflicts upon the World and gain visions of what was, what is, what could be, and what must be. As such, I can inform you that Wednesday's page will be Madison apologizing to Sue, as she didn't realize Sue would learn of Madison's comments on her play. Madison than says that Sue's play was quite good, the problem was that her actors were fucking shit and it's not Sue's fault they were too busy giving each other bedroom eyes and being incredibly in love to actually properly portray siblings, as Game of Thrones had not yet premiered so incest was not in vogue. Madison then gives Sue a thumbs up, and says that clearly means that Sue was doing well at getting them to make up until Lucy tried to kill herself. She then realizes this takes the wind out of her argument's sails, everyone awkwardly looks at each other, and Jess says to give Madison a minute while she thinks of something else.

>>149492842
Unironically, one of the panels of the next page looks a lot like this, just with Lucy having dead eyes and Mike looking more worried.

>>149493829
What twisted turn of events led to this?

>>149493829
Now she can do that with Paulo

>>149493878
She does this every time Mike pees, it just happens offscreen

>>149493935
There are enough fanfictions out there to at least lead me to believe that everybody's just hatefucking behind the scenes off panel.

>>149493821
Thank you once again. In these trying times, with this slow ass chapter and preview comments no longer a thing, I'm glad you still drop by.

>until Lucy tried to kill herself
Does she literally say this? Man I hope this isn't just common knowledge now.

>>149493821
Wait, Madison and Sue know about the suicide too?
Sue doesn't care?

>>149490529 (OP)
>Talking to Jessica for comfort and reassurance
What a terrible idea! Jessica LOVES twisting knives. The absolute best case scenario is she'll offer superficial kindness NOW, and wait to betray and mock at a later date.

>>149493821
See? Madison, the hyper-abrasive girl who doesn't even know Sue, offers sympathy and apology the best she can, which is poorly. Meanwhile Jessica just watches and makes smartass comments.

>>149491460
Yeah, but "arrogantly presumptuous" is part of Sue's appeal. She at least means well, which is better than can be said of any of the main four in this comic.

Plus it means she sets herself up for her curse of misfortune to kick in, which is always cute.

>>149493598
>Taeshi asked for PxD and MxL art for Suit recently
>MxL
She did the same thing shortly before Eternal Flame, if I recall correctly. Or at least she drew a nice little what-if scenario that came across as a less preachy Alternate Flame. Regardless, what I'm saying is prepare for a landslide of bullshit.

>>149493989
>Man I hope this isn't just common knowledge now
Me too, because it's so easy to imagine Taeshi doing so out of sheer laziness but failing to explain away any of the problems because she is still too stupid to accept that other people don't magically read her mind.

>>149494232
She does that every year for his birthday retard

>>149493989
>Does she literally say this
The exact wording was "until the girl tried to off herself", so yea I'd say it's common knowledge.

>>149493821
Thank you warrior. You do good work.
Chapter is pretty meh since it features David and the gay group, but at least it's nice to see Sue and Amaya.

>>149494341
Bravo Taeshi

>>149494341
I suppose it is possible that only Jordan's close friend group knows. But even that much is incredibly annoying.

>>149494341

>>149494341
>All the people that should care about Lucy's suicide like Sue and Paulo don't care for some reason and forgave Mike
>James who doesn't know Lucy and has only had bad interactions with her is going to drop his friend Mike for Lucy after hearing about the suicide
Huh

>>149494486
This is high school. I'm sure everyone knows or at least spread rumors about it by now

>>149494521
We don't know that it's the suicide reveal that does it. I expect something much dumber.

>>149494558
That's why I said it's possible. Because you'd think Jordan would get rightly pissed at his friends for letting that slip out, but this is BCB and Taeshi does not think anything through.

>>149493821
>it's not Sue's fault they were too busy giving each other bedroom eyes and being incredibly in love to actually properly portray siblings
But that's exactly what Sue wanted to accomplish. It's absolutely her own fault.

>>149494777
Sue didn't want them to fall in love she wanted them to be friends again, hence making the characters brother and sister

>>149494341
Madison has known for a while but Taeshi's never bothered to explain why since she categorically said on the tumblr that only Lucy's family and Augustus and Mike knew

>>149494122
It's likely an intentional flaw.

>>149494848
At the time that page dropped, it seemed more plausible that Madison found out how Lucy had been sent away for her mental health. You know, a technically correct story with messy details redacted for Lucy's (and the family's) privacy.

But no, I guess Jordan got tired of Madison being a huge bitch about his suicidal little sister and laid out all the cards. You know, something that we the audience should have been shown?

>>149494958
Maybe they were in the whitecat's house while Lucy was trying to molest Augustus and overheard her shrieking about how she wants to kill herself and hates Mike

>>149495381
That would be hilarious and I unironically wish Taeshi went with that. This comic is beyond salvation so it might as well go maximum stupid.

>>149491460
I understand where you're coming from, but i think what she did was reasonable and good from her knowledge. She didn't know what happened between them, just that her friends weren't getting along and in normal circumstances getting them to work together would be a good way to build their bond again. Its hard to blame her for neither mike or lucy telling her about their tweak off confession.

What other comics deserve a general?

>>149492689
It isnt the strongest plot they've done but i think this chapter will play well into the pacing of the comic as a whole. We just had 2 paisy chapters and 2 painful mike chapters, something a little less important and a highlight for the side characters fits well right now. Plus we get more sue, amaya, and madison, i can't complain about that.

>>149495936
Other than Bleating Heart, um, Boxes of Chocolates and R.F's Duplexium, which is promising but still W.I.P.

>>149494958
It'll probably be a book exclusive again

>>149494848
>>149494958
I'm still going with the theory I had a couple weeks ago, where Jordan tells Rachel because she's his own age and good at comforting people, but because Rachel's bad at keeping secrets soon the whole senior squad plus Paulo knows.

I think Sue and the others in Lucy's grade/social circle probably SUSPECT that she might have tried to kill herself, since between her family being super sad, the way Lucy herself was acting, and the context of her and Mike's falling out, the idea that Lucy just happened to go to a different school for a single semester and then come back the next year would be super suspicious. But maybe this is the first time Sue's hearing it confirmed, and THAT'S why Mike is persona non grata in the next chapter? I guess the next couple pages will either prove or disprove this hypothesis.

>>149497301
It sucks for Mike especially that in addition to Lucy's mom barely knowing or acknowledging that Lucy is abusive, that she doesn't even have a proper grasp of the fallout other than that Mike somehow pissed her off despite them being "good friends". Both character's parents are inattentive and permissive.

>>149494521
>>All the people that should care about Lucy's suicide like Sue and Paulo don't care for some reason and forgave Mike
Because, even though they may love her, a part of them believes she had it coming. Honestly, with the way everyone was acting after Lucy left the school, someone might have pieced together or overheard these fucks talking about it.Jordan's trying to attack Mike in the hallway did not help.

>>149494019
>>149494521
No, you idiots, this is how Sue gets confirmation of the suicide attempt, which is why Mike is banished from the table by next chapter.

Christ, no wonder Taeshi gets frustrated with her audience. I know BCB has problems but come on, this isn't sudoku, it's connect-the-dots.

>>149499219
I suddenly ran out of fucks to give for Sue cause I'm preparing to give them to Miek.

>>149499219
>the personification of the dunning-kruger effect is smugly talking down to people again
lmao

>>149499377
>again
Do you think everyone who makes predictions is the same person, or do you have a specific post in mind that you think is mine?

>>149499666
Yes. This entire thread is one person conversing with each other. We're all schizophrenic D.I.D personalities from Veronica's head.

>>149499219
You are presuming way too much straightforward logic for BCB.

Sex with Sue!

>>149500227
If that was her slogan she could have won the election.

>>149499219
Don't toot your horn just yet, anon, because your scenario doesn't make a whole lot of sense. According to Spoilers McGee, who has been a straight shooter thus far, Madison mentions Lucy's suicide attempt next page. We already know from the bluesky spoilers that this chapter spends time on James discussing the play. That'd be a pretty odd choice of focus if Sue's busy stoking her rage at Mike. It's far more likely that this chapter is just a recycled version of the Sue chapter that got replaced with Jessica's stupid play.

>>149500196
SURELY this is too basic a cause-and-effect to mess up. I know BCB loves missing incredibly easy layups (this chapter ALREADY waved off Jessica being a gaslighting psycho), but the basket is 4 feet off the ground and as wide as a hula hoop here. Plus it involves Mike suffering under the weight of his sins, as the fates and furies demand.

>>149500563
Wait, wait, I must have missed something. Isn't James supposed to be new to this school, having only transferred this year? How would he have seen LAST year's play? Is this another instance of space, time, and the flow of causality being distorted in Roseville? Am I going insane?

>>149500563
It's still possible. James could just overhear them talking about the play and decide to chime in because it's Mike-related. It fits about as well as David's interjection, and naturally they wouldn't want to continue talking about Lucy trying to kill herself in front of this obviously airheaded rando. I don't know why James is back to being excited about Mike after being so comprehensively over him recently, but that's a problem regardless of the surrounding context.

Of course this is all just copium because I don't want the biggest bombshell in the comic to have been a dud twice in a fucking row. Come on Taeshi you coward, write Mike somehow recovering from everybody he knows blaming him for a suicide. Don't just sidestep it.

>>149500563
In addition, Sue doesn't care at all about the suicide "reveal", she's annoyed that Madison can't find a way to compliment her play and Amaya is literally smiling
Lucy's suicide is effectively dead as a plotline unless James really cares about it for some reason

>>149500872
Why the fuck does Taeshi keep bringing the suicide attempt up if she's too shit of a writer to actually address it? Oh, right, becuse it's Lucy sympathy fodder.

>>149500552
"Vote for me and you can touch my boobs" would've blown Paulo's threads out of the water.

>>149492842
>Lucy treated her dedicated molestor Paulo with a hundred times more love and affection than Mike despite Mike almost dying for her
>Mike has proven over and over he loves Sandy more than Lucy and she's a stand-in at best who he'll drop for Sandy at any moment
Wow so romantic, I'm sure whatever bullshit that happens in the last volume will make me forget about the last twenty years of their characters

>>149500872
I don't get it. Mike's guilt over Lucy trying to kill herself has to factor in somehow, there's no reason to even bring it up if it doesn't. It can't unironically just be Mike having another spergout that ruins his social life. Why would you be smiling after a suicide attempt comes up even if you did already know??

Did Taeshi just drag this shit out for so long that she forgor who even knows about Lucy jumping and how they learned? Just fuck it, everybody knows now.

>>149500953
>he loves Sandy more than Lucy and she's a stand-in at best who he'll drop for Sandy at any moment
Applies a lot to the earlier volumes but it kinda looks like him taking back Sandy this latest time is only supposed to seem like this to Lucy. He's pretty much guilted into staying with her and keeps trying to talk her out of it the entire time.
