1/03/07: Acceptance

[Caswin]

Oh, Abel.  What are we going to do with you?

...don't answer that...

EDIT: Year discrepancy?  What year discrepancy?

[Sunblink]

Something along the lines of pouncing him and kidnapping him for fangirl/boy worship, I'm sure.

Seriously, while I didn't really feel sympathetic for Dan after his little outburst to Jyrras, he looks so absolutely adorable in the first panel that you HAVE to have to feel a little sorry for him.

...Just a little sorry.

Maybe.

I can't WAIT to see Abel's response to Dan's little problem, though, if Dan ends up telling him in the first place. As we've learned before, Abel isn't exactly the best sympathetic ear.

[Distracting]

I personally like Abel's view towards it. it kinda says to me "Accept it and move on."

[Zedd]

Why am I not surpized

[Rafe]

Hey, there's already a thread started.  And  it's 2007 (okay, you fixed that)

[Faerie Alex]

At this point, Jyrras is probablly going to avoid the main room (to stay away from "Alexi"), but will he be looking for Dan now? I could see him walking in and being like "Dan, I...Abel?!...*faint*" Or maybe he'd be angry enough to not have a heart-attack.

I wonder...

How about we send Amber emails that have a subject of "spam spam spam spam spam DMFA spam spam spam" ?


... or would that be spitting into the wind? :-)

[Faerie Alex]

I think she'd realize it's so crazy a subject that it couldn't possibly be from anyone but a forum member.

[Manawolf]

It's people like Abel that make want to take up berating others.

::Whaps able with his palm on the back of his head::

"No, bad Abel, you console the depressed, not mock them."

[superluser]

Yay for shifting focus!

And yay for off-model Dan in the first panel!  Could we make that the new model?

Should we start making odds for whether/when Abel will read Dan's mind?

Another thought occurs.  We were concerned that Merlitz's old party might run into Alexsi when she returns, but what if Jyrras runs into Alexsi?  Two possibilities:

1.) Jyrras runs off and seeks Dan's protection
2.) Jyrras lights into Alexsi, who quickly figures it out and gives Dan something pure and simple, like a hammer to the forebrain.

DMFA's off. (and no, you can't just have spam instead)

[Jinni]

I don't think that Dan will tell what his problem is in specifics, at least not that easy. Expecially since it includes insulting Abel. However thats funny how Abel responded to that   

[DigitalMan]

"No, bad Abel, you console the depressed, not mock them."

But mocking them is so much more fun

[Manawolf]

"Who do you think you are, Kevin Featherline?  Don't be a ******bag!"

[Hellcat]

since when did Dan get those bracers he's wearing?

[Turnsky]

new fashion accessory, it's all the rage with other cubi 

[superluser]

since when did Dan get those bracers he's wearing?

They hide his headwings.

Of course, now that he knows how to hide his headwings, I...they...you win this round.

[Zedd]

Not to mention someone needs a good twating 

[superluser]

OK.  Serious, now.  The last time we saw Dan with a bracer was 492.  There he was wearing only one.  When's the last time we saw him wearing two?  Still looking.

Anyways, he didn't bother putting them on the day of his return from SAIA, and the next day (i.e. today) he was wearing the green outfit, which might not go well with the bracers.  Now he's back in the robe, and the bracers are in.

Alternately, now that he's had his talk with Jyrras, he feels bad, so he's putting on the bracers as a reminder of the trouble he's caused his friend, and to remind him that he has to make it right.

[Manawolf]

Must we nitpick this aspect.  Dress how you want, as long as you provide proper coverage.

[Madd the Sane]

The green outfit Dan was wearing at the start of the arch was most likely formal wear.

[GabrielsThoughts]

odd how daniel reminds me of ranma lately..

[Boog]

HA! That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you deal with depression. Kind words make one feel better, but a handful of insults, some common sense and perhaps a kick in the rear get results, on the basis that one remembers them longer. Quite clever indeed.
Or this could just be Abel acting in his usual Devinlike manner. Think that might have something to do with Devin's mind being the first one he ever read?

Well I could be wrong, but according to some sources I'm a jackass!

[Manawolf]

If the result your looking for is suicide.

[Boog]

If the result your looking for is suicide.

Different people handle things different ways. Sometimes what someone needs is someone to tell them to get over themselves, not simply let them sink further and further into moping.

[Manawolf]

It's a gradual process.  While I prefer bluntness, some things must be handled with care as you pull them out of the hole they have dug.

[Gildedtongue]

I think as a Cubi, Abel's just sick of Emo.

There's too much and it ain't tasty.  And if Dan goes too long with it, he'll tell him "it's down the road, not across the street."

[Zedd]

If you think "all cubi" display of emoting of peoples problems..and you be a d***ed jacka%$...Course theres no better to display your emontions on the front desk is but to tell Dr. Rewanz

[GabrielsThoughts]

what of the individuals that dig their own trench, and then refuse to see the truth no mater how often you reveal it to them?

[Manawolf]

Unfortunate souls who would rather wallow in their misery than to try and get back on their feet.  While it takes effort to actually recover, it is worth it in the long run.  Time marches on, and so must everything that it affects.

Or how about "spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam and spam"? 

Yes, yes, Monty Python references abound!
