281 – Clumsy
Poor Delphine.
I want any lover of BL manga out there to know that I’m not being judgemental here. I’m perfectly aware I’m doing a comic with a ton of yuri and cute girls myself. That would be ridiculously hypocritical.
I just like to make Delphine suffer a bit. You guys like her better when I’m being mean to her.
Speaking of yaoi, I really gotta thank my old friend Tiaiel for the amazing boy-on-boy action she drew for Frivolesque in the second panel. Tia has been a wonderful friend of mine for around nineteen years now, and she’s been the one that made me realize female geeks also existed. She just expressed her geekiness in vastly different ways. At any rate, many quirks of Delphine and her friends were inspired by her, as well as other girls we know, so it was only natural for me to ask her to contribute to the Delphine chapter. I’m so happy she said yes.
Tia is a amazing artist for sure. Pay her a visit on Instagram or DeviantArt!
Why does only the female and male genders get fetishised when there is a whole spectrum of genders that get no love, like attack-copter/mayonnaise for example.
Because the mayo would just clog up the rotors. It would be the most doomed relationship of all.
I get the joke, but still it’s a solid point that there is huge difference between accepting minorites and their rights, and tolerating them just because you like related NSFW content. So I totally get Christian’s unease.
Yeah, and what about Human Woman/Cybertronic Lifeforms? What’s wrong with that? Yet every time I try, it always goes horribly wrong…
I admit, I’ve never once cared if the few yaoi fan girls i’ve known made up gay stories about me and some other dude.
Never happened to me. I’m thankful not to be an attractive man with attractive friends.
She should have told him to sod off. Next thing stuffed animals are going to be protesting the furries
Furries aren’t fetishizing stuffed animals, are they? I thought it was more cartoon animals.
I thought the ones “playing” with stuffed animals were another bunch.
First came the slight…then the virtual punch in the face. Poor Del, she’s having a truly rotten day.
If she was not such a weirdo i am sure she would have a lot of good days. Based on the shower scene she is cute but at the same time who showers with there glasses on.
Unfortunately, we’re all a little weird to somebody out there.
Some of us are a lot weird to almost everyone out there… but your point is well made.
She does.
Now you’re making me feel bad for always hating on fujoshi.
You should. Don’t be hating on your fellow fanpeople.
Trash-talk, however…
As long as it’s harmless fun.
But then there’s some fandoms …
Is Delphine really liked more when you’re mean to her?
For me it’s more like: I prefer her when she isn’t grumpy. But go ahead and have her teased from time to time.
I call she runs away into the library to have some peace and quiet. Maybe to read something, maybe to draw her newest fantasy. Also because Laurence is working there. ;-p
I think Dez being mean to Delphine might provoke a protective/caring instinct.
It’s like how girls with a cast on their arm get a +2 cuteness bonus. It makes you want to take care of them.
I mean, yes, I don’t want to see her grumpy. So when she is grumpy, because life/Dez if being mean to her, I want to hug her and make everything better. Although maybe it might work better for her if I hugged Frederic.
Just curious:
Does Christian prefer the archaic form of the word “fetishized”, or is “fetichized” a typo?
Honestly, I think the former could be a funny personality quirk.
It’s obviously a typo. -_-
This is what happens when you’re bilingual and the same words are spelled differently in both languages.
It’s been fixed.
That’s a really nice drawing in panel two.
I mean, I’d prefer it if it least one of the two was a girl, preferably both, but there’s no denying it’s a nice evocative scene.
I also like how happy Delphine looks at the thought of it.
