A happy Mike
Bittersweet Candy Bowl - bcb
Oh no here it comes
Luckily you don’t have to deal with kids in high school once you graduate because my god it would be awful. Only saving grace for some of these guys
Paulo vs. Lucy+Augustus Part II coming up?
Could it actually be interesting?
Or at least now we'll have Mike with a group of people who hate him AND ones who like him.
16/40 pages. That means we have 24 more pages of shitting on Mike left to go!
Oh and I guess more death glares and bitching behind people's back. Super progressive plot-line here.
Y’know, the last time somebody said something like that to Paulo they took him on a faux date and he ended up hating them within a week. Anyways it’ll be interesting to see how Daisy affects this, but I dunno if it’ll come down to that or the whole suicide attempt thing, which had really better get revealed to everyone already if it’s going to be relevant at all.
>not even halfway through this update schedule
It hurts
Reminder.
What is happening with this perspective
>Super progressive plot-line here
Of course it is. Lucy is The Oppressed Hero and therefore can do no wrong. Automatically defending her is a sign of virtue, as is immediately hating The Enemy, aka Mike. Any sort of hesitation to do such on anyone's part is the result of a flaw in character.
Paulo's characterization has been a shitshow the last few years but him and Mike getting along is one of the few I'm glad that actually stuck.
Even if it's sullied by the whole Paulo being bi and fitting in with the whole "Paulo's only nice to people he wants to fuck".
Daisy is rapidly absorbing the mass of everyone around her but gifting some to Augustus through her raging hormonal lust.
IDK, David is kind of a consistent retard in the series - so maybe Paulo likes him (but it's also shown Paulo's vested interest in Mike is partially due to him wanting to fuck him as well).
Daisy and Sue are straight up sycophants and only play towards people who they feel will give them some kind of social leg-up or feed their weird egos.
Amaya is a meme and Augustus is Lucy's bitch.
I could maybe see Paulo being all "WTF??' to Daisy about even being *near* Augustus. Honestly, it's a shame Augustus and Paulo have 0 interaction what so ever - that'd be a fun dynamic.
But then again, nothing new - Augustus barely interacts with anyone.
I can't believe Amaya is a racist
So how about that drawstream?
Lucy can't even complain about being a put-upon early bloomer anymore.
That particular instance is just as hammy and forced as the gayshit.
Difference is that this is yet another case of "good in theory but awfully executed" that the comic is also plagued with when it isn't minority projection or artistically cutting corners that's dragging it down the Marina trench.
>Y’know, the last time somebody said something like that to Paulo they took him on a faux date and he ended up hating them within a week.
The difference being Mike didn't leave Paulo operating under a deliberate falsehood for almost a year.
Why should I care about chibishit suggestions by idiots parting with their money?
DAVID LOOK OUT FOR THE CAR!
Look at that paunch. She's 16, Christ.
It always amazes me how putting clothes on them make them more lewd
God dang it David.
More cushion for the pushin
I’m just saying it’s a bad omen, is all.
oh god he's wearing a batman hood he can't hear us
Who keeps feeding daisy super mushrooms?
The only good thing to come out of the stream.
Though I find it weird how pretty much EVERY.SINGLE.DRAWSTREAM. has obligatory romantic/cutesy stuff with Mike x Lucy, its always like a couple and they are draw in alot of detail in comparison
I mean, maybe its some high tier patron asking for it every single time, but is also just feels like bait for the desperate readers.
I'm still stunned that Rachel is a science buff wtf
>vulpicious
>jealous cat expects people to feel sorry for him.
>even daisy saw through that shit
It has some good edit potential
>slams your face into lunch table
>uh bluh bluh dude you have had so hard i'm such a dick wahhh
This "Paulo's such a dick" thing it pushed makes so little sense. The time he's been bad to others are really pretty rare. The worst thing he ever did to Mike was whip up the "cheater" mob and that was *two years ago* in-story.
>expects people to feel sorry for him.
But he doesn't.
In fact, he's shown that he expects nothing from his friends anymore. Even when they try to know what's going on with him, he shuns them saying they obviously don't care.
haha
This story needs someone murdering someone else or something
I mean, there was pic related when Lucy came back but didn't sit at their lunch table and Paulo blamed Mike, but it was overshadowed by Daisy learning about Abbey's surprise bathroom chokeslam and them breaking up
That's as tl:dr as one can get on why nupolo is a negative term.
This. Paulo and Mike were getting along mostly fine during Lucy's absence but it was always with the underlying assumptions that Paulo would throw him under a bus as soon as she returned and that's exactly what happened
It took seeing Lucy being a mega-bitch for Paulo to finally see the light.
Pretty funny this got deleted considering the very risque jokes the creators made about kiddie rape before.
It's their own damn fault for not understanding him. Only Sandy could see past his exterior and see the real mike that hidden beneath and love him.
Also lel.
There used to be an comic edit "hall of fame" on the old forum and it had a considerable amount of rape jokes, including ones from Suitcase (the "I have to rape Molly" one comes to mind)
Now Mike only needs to ditch Sandy, since Sandy's figure seems to have on Mike the same effect Lucy has on Paulo, as we've seen multiple times.
Ditch the bitch, Mike, and pick the dick
Well yeah, it's like how black guys can say Nigga. Girls who got fucked by their older cousin in a suitcase can make rape jokes.
So can we get this guy drawing lewds or what?
Times are tough ok
So that's why she's put him on ice?
wat
Yeah, Mike is better off going prison gay for Paulo then trying to pursue girls at this point. Not like that'd ever happen though, because the creators are allergic to male on male relationships and only mention it for shits,giggles and brownie points.
Oh yeah, I remember that. There was also an incest fanfic about Molly x Abbey up until her wedding day ~supposedly~ written by Suitcase but any talk of that quickly got taken down.
That's about as desperate as sucking dick for shitty made meth.
>mega-bitch
>first thing he does upon seeing her around Augustus was to run up and attempt to knock him out. No attempt at talking
He's no better than angry cat in that moment with that surprise choke slam
>There was also an incest fanfic about Molly x Abbey up until her wedding day
So THAT's what the SDT BCB mod scene with Molly was based on? I thought it wasn't based on anything in particular
>So that's why she's put him on ice?
Damn dude that's cold
For all Paulo knew, Augustus was only the guy who was grooming Daisy for a while and then attempted to rape her. And this lack of knowledge on his part is only because of, in part, Daisy, but more importantly because of Lucy, who knows really well that Gus isn't just that, but keeps gatekeeping her supposed friends from him.
I just like the idea of Suitcase knowing his overbearing moderation is responsible for more lewds.
>but keeps gatekeeping her supposed friends from him.
The parasite stuff wrecked her
Actions have consequences, including Mike's.
I'm not sure what 'SDT BCB mod scene' means. But there has been implications and whispers of rumors about the fandom of some really shady stuff the creators have done for quite some time.Mostly in beliefs/morals and/or fetishes.
Like yeah, Taeshi has an obvious piss/wetting fetish and it's presumed Suitcase may have a thing for lolicon.
Another case of the fantastic PR they have going, fanart,forums and commentary is closely monitored. I presume this guy was just trying to draw fanart for them but it wasn't "up to par" so his stuff kept getting deleted on their Candybooru.
There's a certain kind of delicious irony behind that, but it doesn't mean the product of that is any good.
oh nooo mike is all alone with the gay cat who knows what will happen to him
>tfw Taeshi was in the hospital following a whole mental breakdown and the thing that kept her grounded was drawing guest art for Questionable Content of all things
It's like pottery
>taeshidiary.tumblr.com
Oh there's no "may" about that. If you look at his old website it's pretty clear he likes it.
I know she's a absolute mess, but
>the thing that kept her grounded was drawing guest art for Questionable Content
Just means she's FUBAR.
Mike is shit for being so salty over the whole thing and presuming he is so popular he can withstand any social catastrophe. He hasn't had much of an arch but is at least slightly more sympathetic then Lucy because things don't always land in his favor. Infact, being against Lucy means the BCB Universe is entirely against him and they make that blatantly obvious again and again. He won't be proactive (as in crawling back to Lucy) until Sandy dumps him.
Lucy is shit because she is a fucking mary-sue that every flocks to because ~plot demands it~ despite how she treats everyone. She never works for anything, learns anything or progresses much as a character besides the whole 'I guess Im kind of a bitch, oh well - I'll brood more.' Somehow, because ~plot reasons~ her passive indifference just drives other characters to do shit for her - thus why there is any story what so ever.
Is it just me or did his site stink of autistic obsession?
>I'm not sure what 'SDT BCB mod scene' means. But there has been implications and whispers of rumors about the fandom of some really shady stuff the creators have done for quite some time.Mostly in beliefs/morals and/or fetishes.

Where is Kiwi Farms when you need them?
So I just tried to look at the candybooru through the wayback machine to see what "Acerbsweets" did to piss Suitcase off and it looks like Suit has got candybooru taken off the Internet archive.
Yeah just like how Taeshi's deviantart got scrubbed clean too.
I think that's probably why someone needs to be documenting this ala Kiwifarms, but I imagine they'd try to threaten them with some kinda lawsuit if anyone dared to do that.
The salt is real.
Always archive.is shit & also save a local copy and/or screendump
.
>Where is Kiwi Farms when you need them?
Kinda sorta requires someone to take the first initiative to get the ball rolling.
>I think that's probably why someone needs to be documenting this ala Kiwifarms, but I imagine they'd try to threaten them with some kinda lawsuit if anyone dared to do that.
That'd not be the first time that happened to kiwifarms and also not the last.
Yeesh, so they Wayback machine could find some very old (like from 2005) journals from Taeshi on Deviantart and she had an absolutely unhealthy obession with Souppy even then. Like to the point of
"thinking of other boys makes me cry even if it's innocent because I'm a relationship Nazi!"
It's almost like BCB is a semi-biographical.
Comparing that to current art clearly shows she's regressing, only difference is it's digital and photoshop filtered.
I havent been following this in a while. Has the gray cat already gotten cucked by his distance-relationship gf and killed himself?
Her art was the best during the color shades era. Digital has ruined her.
>slingshots right back into the forced drama
Was Daisy always taller than everyone? I always pictured her as petite fluffy
Do not read this comic
Canon inconsistency.
Taeshi forgot until recently that Daisy is supposed to end up the biggest of the bunch due to her breed. So in true bcb fashion, the transition is rushed as fuck.
that's what happens when you meet your future husband on a Sonic the Hedgehog x Amy Rose fan forum
This is probably saddest and most incontrovertible proof of the pair's incurable autism.
Rachel wants to pass you da boof
do you accept?
hahaha
>nicknames: Lil...Cheryl, Megan
wtf
Videogame Taeshi looks a lot like the one in this thing.
I mean, they were young teenagers, it's not like a couple of 20 somethings meeting on a hedgehog shipping forum.
Halloween is the best time for rape
>Hedgehog shipping
If they grew out of it, sure. But they didn't.
This is now a Rachel thread.
>SDT BCB mod
The BCB mod for the Super DeepThroath flash game. Once of the scenes includes Abbey and Molly on her wedding night
>Amazon Rachel.
Death by snu snu
Sauce/full pic?
She canonically has amazoness genes, her mum is a giantess
I love daisy being the retarded bro with an underutilized power due the retardation.
It's happening really late and really goddamn sudden.
Doesn't help that it started when chibishit started since that introduced many inconsistencies and still confuses people about their age.
Wow that artstyle is so much different.
They look like... teenagers instead of chibis
In last panel we can see new teams: Chad clown-frog alliance vs Drama squad
All right FAGS it's time for the bonus chapter from the newly-released volume 6 of Bee Cee Goddamned Bee, "Unpacking Day".
This apparently takes place shortly before chapter 95, when Lucy returned to Roseville High.
I can't put my finger on it, but this pisses me off for some reason.
It's like even MORE cartoony than usual, I don't know, probably the hearts in his eyes, it's awfully out of place and would have been better with his eyes, uh, regular.
>It's almost like BCB is a semi-biographical.
It's understandable, it's a comic conceived by an early internet teenage fangirl (of nothing specifically, just generally the type) and she has to keep it going because it's her livelihood.
Also holy shit, she's 32? I mean it makes perfect sense, but still.
BASED
Lucy's mom is a fucking womanlet. Awful.
(Lucy doesn't normally wear clothes)
Go on....
The account name is Sour Candy on the booru.
Lucy giving shit to all of her friends and both of her brothers in one page.
Even Lucy's mom knows she's a shit.
Okay i'm gonna say it: MIKE WAS RIGHT
>angry mom burn
Well shoot I didn't expect that. I want more of this
(END)
the only thing that cheers Lucy up is the prospect of humiliating Mike
Holy fuck
>last panel.
Have fun taking it out of context.
>shipped away her cuz can't deal with the problem
But that wasn't what happened, was it?
>lose the pants
>mom pointing fingers at suicidal daughter
Geez, this is just cheap drama at this point.
Side-material has been retconned!
Based mom
It's rich hearing Lucy complaining about her mom not solving her problems for her when there's a whole side-comic about her resisting every attempt to do so.
The moms in this comic are collectively best girls.
God, I get Taeshi trying to move away from the tsundere cliche she started out with, but now she's just, I don't know, all tsun and no dere.
(forgot my image)
>I'm not the one who shipped away her own daughter all because I couldn't deal with such a problem!
Sam tragically overestimated his bitch of a sister.
Mom looked like a MILF back then
>it's the motherly affection and sweater puppies or is it sweater kittens?
Is there a way to fix this comic? Or Is it beyond salvation?
>Lucy putting strain on her mother's decades-long friendship
That and retconning things that were fine and adding unnecessary characters is my beef when it comes to the story and characters
A pretty good bonus chapter in the sense that it influences how a reader will see other parts of the comic rather than just being some fluff.
Megan has outright stated her opposition to worldbuilding in the past.
Lucy's doing the same shit with her mom that she's doing with anyone else who tries to dig into her issues with Mike. She'll change the subject and put the other person on the defensive, regardless of if they're making a good point or not.
The more hurtful the subject change, the more effective it is, so she doesn't hold back.
The only improvement could come from Taeshi embracing the cringy teenager inside her that made this comic and giving the audience what they want, which is straight up teenage drama.
the old comic had so much more EMOTION, they felt like teenagers being dramatic, now that Taeshi and luggage lad are trying their best to repress that memory and wipe it from the proverbial and literal records the comic has also mellowed the fuck out and lost it's charm.
Basically in an attempt to hide their cringy teenage years Taeshi threw the baby out with the bathwater and killed all the emotional teenage drama this comic did well.
You'd have to pick the current corpse clean of the few gold nuggets there is and then go back to pre-chibishit and continue on like everything after that never happened.
like baglad getting wayback machine to deny access to things he doesn't like seen
>We got 'em all!
Further proof Lucy was lying to Daisy about why she didn't come to her birthday party.
Tae needs another Another Path, really just shovel the lewdness on hard.
Shame, the former is more realistic, though having gripes about that type of shit in this type of comic is pretty negligible in overall
Mike redemption thru pain and suffering will fix it
>Lucy's going to hold the consequences of her own dumbass decision over Mike's head the same way she blamed her own mom
>flustered_polo.png
We got timeline user here to slot this chapter into the Google doc?
Sam sees her through rose-tinted glasses because he is a big siscon
Is there any possible redemption for someone who made his best friend try to kill herself? Mike is beyond repair im afraid.
There's an user drawing out an actual timeline?
Frankly, this comic is getting way more devotion out of this general than it deserves.
>flustered_augustus.jpg
>Ditching the lot of them sounds like a great start to junior year
A more serious version of what she said here...and also means that she refused to give a serious answer to Augustus' question rather than just bantering about a comical overstatement. She doesn't fully trust him, either.
Lucy was never Mike's friend. She was just a parasite.
Like what Mike was when Sandy first bailed?
I'll be damned if Lucy's mom isn't a top tier MILF
Not to mention her racecar driving husband is never home.
Just a little bit of consistency. If the consequences or characters' reactions to developments could carry over to the rest of the plot that would be a marked improvement.
Hello I am timeline user
I guess I should put this in somewhere. It's probably the day before chapter 95.
I guess I'll have to go back and do the other book-exclusive chapters. I overlooked them before.
Check it out: docs.google.com
I mostly did it to provide concrete info for discussion. How much time passes between certain events can be distorted for a reader given how drawn-out some storyline are, especially in terms of real time. "December" to Lucy's suicide attempt is only about two weeks for example.
damn dude
The only thing good about this comic is how the only character with an actual sad backstory is the only one who doesnt act like a drama queen teenager.
Augustus is a man from the real world with real stakes, and its really cool how it contrasts with with all those other cringey characters.
Don't forgot how Paulo doesn't complain about being poor or being abandoned by his mother.
You do us a valuable service my good chum
It's nice to be appreciated!
Time to update this image. It's nice that this thread is consistent, I guess.
This was before nuPaulo. Now, Paulo is an assertive bissexual man that cares for his friends and is not afraid to show tears
>someone who made his best friend try to kill herself
>made
I must have missed the panels where Mike marches her up onto the roof at gunpoint.
Mike never abused Lucy and in fact put up with her horrible behavior for years.
He couldve talked to her instead of sperging out on a psychologically unstable girl?
90% of the drama in this comic just happens because the characters wont just sit down and talk like human beings.
>90% of the drama in this comic just happens because the characters wont just sit down and talk like human beings.
Which is hilarious considering Mike did just that, offering to hit the reset button and Lucy decided that was a great reason to go and kill herself. Maybe Lucy should stop blaming him for her own idiotic fuckup? Or maybe the shrinks convinced her to do so and this is all Taeshi lashing out at all the hours of "useless" therapy the endured.
>90% of the drama in this comic just happens because the characters wont just sit down and talk like human beings.
And the other 10% happens because characters sperging out even when being talked to like human beings. There's not much winning with this cast.
Oh, that was only because her parents were so bad as to send her away...when she was locking herself in her room, skipping school, and refused to talk about why anything might be wrong.
Found another one of the changes from the volume 6 revisions, btw. Original version on the left.
Why the FUCK is my DING DONG hard?
What is the point of that change?
All this comic convinces me of is that Taeshi needs more hours of therapy
>Polo X Sue hatesex.
I can see it happening, it's unlikely but not impossible.
PauloxSue hate-fucking is one of my guilty pleasures. It doesn't help that they actually do the deed in that wife-swapping side coming but there just wasn't enough angst in that one to fuel it.
>It doesn't help that they actually do the deed in that wife-swapping side coming but there just wasn't enough angst in that one to fuel it.
Plus Paulo cried like a bitch in that one. Wasn't even hatesex.
where is my paulo and sue friendship arc
You almost got one after "Critical Hit" but Sue is too pompous to allow it.
>sue getting an arc for herself
>ever
lol good joke
>Sue is too pompous to allow it
It started off to nice, too.. Just another potential chunk of character development flushed for the sake of status quo.
sh-shut up
Sue has terrible taste.
Also it's kind of neat that the description of the Max Thunder comic appears to be drawn from a combination of Deadpool and Chew.
>that sounds reallly stupid
It actually sounds pretty dope, Sue has shit taste
Who's the dom in this hatefuck?
coincidentally this is from the chapter that was the first watercolored one
The nerd, she doesn't want polo to insult her more.
Sue
Polo is a lil bitch
Paulo looked kinda hot before...
i kno rite
Lucy is in love with Mike but treats him like shit b/c it lets her keep her feelings protected behind plausible deniability.
Mike tires of this and turns sour on Lucy.
Lucy turns to Paulo for support but shuns him when he fucks some girls.
Lucy's mom notices something is wrong but Lucy refuses to discuss it.
Lucy turns to Augustus for support but gets snubbed when she invites herself to his house and he pushes back...but then she ends up going anyway and finds out his life is legit shit...but doesn't gain any perspective on her own problems. B/c of what Mike said she has a nightmare that her friends don't care about her.
Lucy whines that she wishes she was dead so Augustus calls her stupid and tells her to wise up. She actually listens and tries to make up with Mike but he's so sour he makes himself push back harshly and tells her no one cares about her.
Lucy locks herself in her room and stops going to school.
Lucy's family reluctantly decide to send her away to her aunt's for still unexplained reasons.
After Sue's dumb play, Mike offers conditional reconciliation with Lucy.
B/c she's getting sent away and can't take advantage of Mike's offer Lucy decides to kill herself.
Lucy is away from Roseville for about 9 months. Part of this time is spent in a "psych ward".
Lucy returns. She now hates Mike because he was mean to her but ALSO hates her friends because Mike told her they don't care about her and ALSO hates her family worrying about her after her suicide attempt. She says she just wants to get away from everyone but she winds up Mike every chance she gets and is evasive with her friends, telling lies and refusing to talk about anything serious but also not actually ditching them or appreciating their care for her.
Honestly the common thread here is Lucy is a shit who makes bad decisions. She could dearly stand to have some humility instead of spending all her energy hating others and trying to get rid of them as if he would fix her messed-up life.
This is now, a Sue thread.
>chibi sue
Pass
Don't forget how Sandy played a role in Mike's view of Lucy souring.
On a side note I guess one good thing Tae did was avoid making Sandy some "evil girlfriend bwah haha" type, at least initially. She even reprimanded Mike for being too harsh on Lucy.
Good post
Every step of the way is Lucy making a bad decision but she ends up super-bitter at people who have to deal with the shit SHE gives THEM.
>Lucy's family reluctantly decide to send her away to her aunt's for still unexplained reasons
Unexplained until this thread at least. Her family, desperate because they didn't know what was going on, just wanted to get her out of Roseville to detox from whatever was causing her depressive state.
>Part of this time is spent in a "psych ward".
Is there any source on this? All I know is she stayed with her aunt and went to a new school.
>>Part of this time is spent in a "psych ward".
Is there any source on this?
It's in the new comic posted in this thread:
Oh shit, I totally misread that as Sam ending up in the psyche ward. This makes a ton more sense now.
Is Lucy's redemption even possible at this point? She seems irremediable in every way.
Thats because there is no point in Making Sandy evil as She isnt even a full fleshed character herself, she just served as that invisible wall of drama that keeps Lucy and Myke from fucking eachother’s brains out.
The moment Taeshi doesnt need her anymore she will just cuck Mike over text and be gone forever, like she never existed.
She probably wont even make an appearence again, and if she does it will be to dump Myke or raise more drama between him and Lucy.
Pic-related would've sufficed at some point but we're well beyond that at this point. I don't know how many layers bitch she has her "true self" buried under at this point but if actions speak louder than words, then there's practically no difference anymore.
At least before you had the pets to kind of reflect Lucy's more delicate nature but now we got nothing. And yet she has a entourage following her around anyway. At least before when it was just Augustus with her it highlighted that she was making herself an outcast but I don't know what the fuck is happening now.
>At least before you had the pets to kind of reflect Lucy's more delicate nature but now we got nothing.
She's not even nice to Augustus when other people are around.
>This was before nuPaulo
But it isn't. that BCI was published way into nuPaulo territory
Thank you for posting this, user. I wasn't expecting it so soon.
If the parallelism keeps going she's going to have her realization about how important Mike was to her at roughly the time Mike gives in completely to loneliness-induced depression, much like happened the other way around at the play. Augustus is demonstrably pretty bad at handling Lucy when she breaks down emotionally, and eventually she's going to want to stop being snarky for five seconds and think back to how tender Mike used to be much like Mike had his flashback of Lucy comforting him.
Whether or not it's this or just Mike crawling back to her after Sandy dumps him depends pretty heavily on whether Taeshi is aware of how manipulative and cruel Lucy is being, and I really can't be sure about that at this point.
Sorry ya'll, the Lucy's Mom is a shitty Mom continues!
>Not talking to daughter seriously and allowing her to brood and avoid questions increasingly.
>Decide to send her to another school (I dunno, because she is moody??)

>I have no authority over you as a mother because of my shitty parenting BUT OMG DONT CURSE~`!1
>Let me be your FRIEND not your PARENT cuz I need to know stuff ok!!1
No parent protecting their child and trying to do what's best for their health would ever ever ever do this. No wonder you have a shitty spoiled mentally fucked daughter you fuckin potato.
Holy fuck this shit gives me a goddamn headache.
Taeshi Has no idea on how her characters are supposed to look like. Every chapter she just picks a random size and rolls with it.
Lucy is the first real challenge she's seemed to have as a parent. Sam is a bit of a cold fish and seems to be very respectful and Jordan is a pushover.
What comic is that?
Yeah, but wow is she is she a fuckin terrible mom. Yah yeah, I know she checks all the MILF-quotas for Yea Forums and acts like a typical 50s housewife or what you assume "all moms are like" (which somehow makes her worse..?? she is a cardboard cutout). But she is negligent and emotionally retarded.
Calling her child out for not being 'normal', calling out her child for not making new friends or adjusting well, putting her back in her old school and ignoring all triggers (BIG nono), not assuring she is there for her, not looking out for her health and wellbeing, being as disconnected as ever, wanting to be her friend NOT HER PARENT (which is how you get shitty spoiled bitches like Lucy in the first place), not getting to know her friends despite being besties with one of her besties, making the situation about her, not continuing long-term health care for her daughter, moving her daughter away from her family in an extremely critical time of her life (though changing schools wasn't a bad idea), still allowing her daughter to do whatever and walk all over them with no consequences.
Well, it at least gives Lucy's a slightly more believable backstory.
>Calling her child out for not being 'normal', calling out her child for not making new friends or adjusting well, putting her back in her old school and ignoring all triggers (BIG nono)
Sounds like real life
Yes but a sensible and well off family would also get consuling to help them deal with the situation.
This one I think. I dunno if I've got this in order.
2/3
That's all, folks
>Taeshi: Did you enjoy the comic, user? Too bad its not part of the main story lmao here is some depression and suicide
I want to punch Lucy in the guts.
It's not fair, bros. The canon sucks
>bottom head size
Yikes, imagine the headsize of newborns, c-section is mandatory.
Because BCB is written in such a way that if Lucy and Mike get together, there is no plot, there is no drama. It's like all shitty romances - all about the build up and chase 'will they,won't they?' but not actually about living in the relationship and the challenges that come with it.
It actually just goes to show how flimsy and terrible the plot is, the story couldn't survive on it's own if Lucy and Mike weren't in the picture or mentioned in some way in passing.
He didn't make her do shit. She's just fucking nuts
Mike will find his redemption when he either dumps / gets dumped by his current GF and fucks off away from the group or at least those who have proven to not ultimately have his back
Lucy is someone who feeds on attentions and reaction. Her whole "I don't give a shit about Mike" think is a facade as she gets off on his misery over what he did and what she is doing now. Once he completely forgets about her she will go back to feeling hollow and start feeding on the next sucker
Aw yeah, thanks dude.
Alot of fundamental things would need to be changed to repair this comic.
-Make the focus not just Lucy and Mike but all kids as they go through High School
-Have more heavy themes,instead of just a few sprinkled about - fully commit.
-Flesh out characters more,have them interact more, have more focus on relationships that aren't the main ships.
-Have actual character arcs
-Have actual drama that isn't forced or melodrama
-Don't neglect backstories or plot progression for shitty side-stories that contribute nothing.
-Completely rewrite Mike and Lucy, Mike should be a shy bookish type that never understood his potential - with Lucy being the tough go-getter that inspired his confidence, Lucy and Mike don't get tons of attention for their looks and are actually better friends and son/daughter to their families.
-Have more family-centric stuff, rather then the bland shitty stuff we get. Abbey is the only one who came close to having an interesting home-life.
-Completely revamp Abbey,Daisy, Madison - actually give David and Amaya personalities.
I think Lucy's character (naturally beautiful but emotionally weak) works fine if the story admits she's deeply flawed...which it seemed to do for a while but now it's whipped back to her apparently being perfect although she still acts like a turbocunt.
The series could have gotten a lot of mileage out of characters not being what they seem;
Mike seems like a "good boy" straight-edge but underneath that he becomes very bitter
Lucy seems like a tough tomboy but she's actually weak and dependent on Mike
Paulo seems like a dumb jerk but before the nupolo era he was the most sensitive and kind guy in the series. At the very least the "womanizer" shtick is obvious crap since he was only on it when he was a virgin who'd never had a girlfriend.
Daisy seems like a sweet ball of fluff but in vol. 1 she gets lonely and jealous and in a rather different, more recent characterization she's a selfish brat.
Augustus could have multiple layers of this; seems like a white knight for Daisy but he's actually a creep, seems like a 100% creep but he's actually an unwilling lackey with a tragic backstory who just wants to get out, seems apathetic but is starving for love, etc.
I could go on for less important characters.
So actually make it Degrassi with cats instead of just joking about it being degrassi with cats I'm fine with this
Sure, but couldn't it at least be well written?
I deeply dislike the concept of her being beloved by all who encounter her or want to be her. I get maybe there can be a few people crushing super hard on her (ala Paulo) but the fact pretty much everyone comes around to Lucy's court is just bad unbelievable story-telling.
Emotionally weak,... isn't the word I would use. Maybe emotionally unstable, for sure. We still don't know why she is so tsundere and trusting of Mike because nothing in her home life with her family should elude to that at all. Again, Lucy is based on Taeshi but without the mental scarring her abuse gave her - so Lucy has traits of Taeshi without substance behind it. Lucy is wish-fulfillment for Taeshi without the hardships she faced.
Lucy could've been a nobody then puberty hit her hard and everyone started sexualizing her rather then being super pretty and beloved from the start. Lucy doesn't have enough good traits to go along with her negative ones - even when she is suppose to be cute/snarky it comes off as bitchy and condescending. When she is meant to be showing off her talents or maternal side it just seems phoned in and corny. When she is being """empathetic""" or supportive of her friends she just comes off as blunt and abusive.
Lucy letting her pets go (which is even weirder since they are sentient) or standing up to Alejandro isn't enough to even out all the dumb shit her character has done prior.It also plays into how other characters interact and view her too.
Plus being built upon the shitty tsundere trope doesn't help either.
>Mike should be a shy bookish type
NotmyMike
Nigg- Uh I mean David should control himself
>Lucy could've been a nobody then puberty hit her hard and everyone started sexualizing her rather then being super pretty and beloved from the start.
Her sexiness shouldn't really have anything to do with her old friends who are obsessed with her (Mike, Paulo, Sue) although bizarrely she seems to think so.
She IS supposed to have developed early and reacted badly to being leered at but we basically have one two-panel flashback to establish this. When the main cast moved to high school there should have been a period of guys who didn't know Lucy from middle school hitting on her until they all learned how unreceptive she is.
if their stuck in 2008 which is why their dressed up like TDK joker and batman why is he thinking Augustus is dressed as Noctis, who has yet to exist?
Isn't he more thinking of Sepiroth?
And wasn't it more to do with his first costume design, with the dumb half-cloak?
With some admirable subtly and misdirection Volumes 2 and 3 Jess was built up as a lesbian in love with Lucy but it went nowhere at all and the plot-line simply disappeared when Lucy did.
It could have been interesting as long as the fact that Lucy is straight and wouldn't be interested isn't the point; Jess is a bitter and nasty person who makes all her own troubles; seems like a match for Lucy; maybe she could have recognized her own flaws when seeing them in another person.
yeah I guess that makes more sense
If Jess was a lesbian why did she force herself to have sex with Paulo when both clearly didn't enjoy it?
Like wasn't that kind of rapey?
She did it just to piss Tess off.
Are you suggesting she wasn't written as a lesbian until relatively recently?
>Like wasn't that kind of rapey?
Yes, and barely anyone called her out on it.
Also besides rape, taking his virginity under false pretenses just to stick it to Tess was an incredibly shitty thing to do. Jess is in no way a sympathetic character, backstory or no.
I love it, I want more stuff like this to call out the shitty writing.
>Jess is in no way a sympathetic character, backstory or no.
I suspect she's not supposed to be, at least until she became a generic happy gay.
HONK HONK
It says it in the very bonus comic you are citing FYI.
Even AFTER her sucide attempt (the most crucial and sensitive mental state she could be in) they just shipped her from a psych-ward to her aunts rather then trying to reconnect and assure her of familial bonds. Does Roseville not have ANY OTHER high school? What about the town over? Why did it need to be 'hundreds of miles away' at her Aunt's..? Why burden her Aunt with all that shit? Doesn't her Aunt have her own life/kids to take care of?
Also it's noted she goes to a "Religious" private school ontop of it, generally they frown upon mental health and suicide.
Sending Lucy off maybe made sense prior to her trying to kill herself, but not afterwards. What even makes less sense is why her parents would let her come back. She apparently hasn't still "told them everything" (lol despite being in a psych ward where you'd pretty much have to explain what and why to doctors to even get released.) Because her Mom doesn't know all the shit Mike did (again being besties with his mom).
Where does it say the aunt was hundreds of miles away? She got back to Roseville to see her brother after his car accident in only a few hours.
Who said the private school was religious?
>Private school has a cross on the sweater - pretty sure that's a religious symbol.
Wow your reading comprehension skills are fucking horrible dude, maybe go back to school for that?
It only appeared in chapter 95. That was years ago, user.
>you kids
Hey, Sam is very respectful and Jordan is normal.
This was always my problem with the Sleepover arc. It's like it implied that Jessica and Rachel actions prior in the comic were justified due to Tess' actions. Yeah, Tess was a bitch, but what does Paulo have to do with that?
>Tess was a bitch, but what does Paulo have to do with that?
Nothing, Paulo didn't deserve any of it, he just ended up being collateral damage just for being involved with Tess at all. And it's kinda stupid for Lucy and co. to give Jess a pass for it.
But in the end it doesn't matter because Paulo took it upon himself to let bygones be bygones and let her off the hook for it, even though he had every right not to.
Good on him for taking the high road, I guess but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Paulo is the one who gets a ton of bullshit dumped at his feet by other people rather than creating it himself but I don't see him holding any big grudges about it. But don't forget he's a big shit apparently.
From what I remember she actually was written as being attracted to girls at the time, but it was usually through little hints here and there
Heights from Taeshi:
Amaya: 5'0"
Lucy / Rachel / Madison: 5'2"
Paulo: "normal-ish height"
David: 6'2"
Matt: 6'5"
You could just throw Amaya over your shoulder like she's nothing
Uh, not to alarm you bud but...
ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! HOLD YOUR DAMN HORSES I'M FIXING IT!
Although I can't fix the head... if someone else wants to take a shot at it be my guest
They may be bobble heads but that just makes the edit more authentic, you done good user
Fix the head how? Head looks fine to me.
I'm working on something else you guys might like.
More boobs?
Deployment in progress
Wow its getting really late...OK. So I never said it would be complete, because I'm going to leave this as a canvas for you guys to go crazy with your imaginations. But I hope you like it and I hope to see what you guys can turn this into if this thread stays alive until tomorrow or maybe in the next thread, (or on /trash/). Alright goodnight!
Almost looks like that one spider-man meme
Can somebody post the catsanddrama font?
Acknowledge Mike was Right all along and this comic is saved
Here's a higher-quality version with the top extended for full ear and the "end" sign removed.
And another with cleavage
You forgot the cleavage line
Oops nm
Thank you based milf editor
Based
Dramatic moments and big emotions are worth more when they don't happen all the time. Like dynamic range in a piece of music.
Slight edit to the background (had to improve the background pattern consistency)
Cleavage version
Amaya confirmed WORST GIRL EVER eons ago, user...where have yopu been?
Sue confirmed Marvel Comics Editor
As shitty as this comic is, its a goldmine for reaction images.
>Being called a employee a Marvel is now a insult.
And yet the mouse isn't gonna make it any better.
why the adult looks so naked ?
Might just be me, but Lucy looks weird when her mom's got a visible cleavage and yet she doesn't despite her dimensions of her "assets".
chibishit isn't doing any favors either
>Daisy is rapidly absorbing the mass of everyone around her but gifting some to Augustus through her raging hormonal lust.
