Minzoku Bokumetsu

I mean, I guess SOME people listen to it by remixing it into YouTube shorts or w/e

Ria

I've had this conversation or one like it with so many of my friends where it's gay but not all the way gay

HenryVolt

Dorothy looking for any and every reason to convince herself that her new found feelings for her friend is wrong. She very well maybe looking into it too deeply.

Packy Anderson

I mean, you could bite down on the sound board of the piano, like Beethoven did.

Maude Reads Things

Huh, interesting! I hadn't thought of some of these this way

Elihu Aran

Joyce, honey, your 'tism is showing! But like honestly, big fucking same wrt music

Smoochie

This is far from remaking someone in your image, Dorothy. Mmm, makes me think of my dad’s favorite phrase, ‘everyone you meet is your teacher’.

Rob McBobson

To answer her question: Once a day, at midnight, as I try to solve the Wordle before the song is over.

Lee Cremeans

the last panel sounds like me as a teenager (and with the worn-out, glued-back-together cassettes to prove it).

Minzoku Bokumetsu

guess you might hear with your feet as well as you might see with them? or is that only Toph

Harold

Tonight on Dumbing of Age, Dorothy and Joyce will both be playing the role of "Jan" in panel 2

Andrea Andrew

No, Dorothy. This isn’t narcissism. Joyce loves you and has been inspired by you.

el

even if it results in horrible consequences these two need to make out stat

CreepingBriar

Every time we see how Joyce listens to music feels too real for me

Harold

@HenryVolt: Dorothy look into things too deeply? Dorothy KEENER? I never! I never, I never, I never...

Dan Rabin

Dorothy's body language is not very "laundrish". Her insight in her solo borderless panel doesn't seem to make her happy. The question has moved from "how do we follow up from yesterday?" to "what do we do now that we're in the laundry room?", pivoting in the wordless panel with them checking each other's reactions with sideways glances. Dorothy may be worried about having too much influence on Joyce to approach her for sex, even though she asked her yesterday to know what she wants. Around and around, like all the machines in the room.

David M Willis

It's one of the changes to her model sheet as-of the timeskip. (and the part change makes a sneak preview appearance in a pre-timeskip bonus strip where the last few panels skip ahead a few weeks)

Sajuuk-Khar

Yes, Dorothy, you should attach more guilt to this, that will DEFINITELY help the upcoming mutual jorkin’ it

Corronchilejano

I found a version with lyrics of "Lost Girl" when Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 came out and I've only listened to that song every time I open Spotify. I must've heard it 100 times this week.

Fart Captor

Ahhh, so really this is about selfcest. I see 🤔

Megh

Oh that's cool! And I was just about to ask for the bonus strip, but you were faster than me Thank you thank you

Jesse

Remade in Dorothy’s image? Have we found Joyce’s kink?? Though I’m not sure if wanting Joe to press her counts as a kink or just being autistic.

MrShoggoth

*looks guiltily at the number of plays on Star Trek: First Contact End Credits*

IAmDeltaS

That is the only way to listen to music, Joyce. Find a song you love and then play it on repeat until you get so sick of it, you can't bear listening to it again.

Railway Series Book Club

wow, i didn't even register Joyce's bisexual fit shirt is Dorothy's. just when you think this girl can't get any fruitier...! (can anybody point out any strips where dorothy is actually wearing this shirt? i'll probably go archive spelunking for it anyway but i'd appreciate if someone can beat me to it lol)

Astariel

Once again, I feel like Joyce is channeling me in regards to music.

Jesse

I guess it’s a good thing her special interest isn’t dogs or something, or she might wear a fursuit to class.

TobyTura

quick get Freud in here

Maybeeus

One of my favorite of the old walkyverse stories is actually all of roomies redux, something about it was really charming and reminded me a lot of dumbing of age moreso than anything else in the walkyverse. I often think about the arc where Joyce tries to impress Danny by completely reinventing herself in the strips scope this meant Joyce would go from a dog person to a cat person. Joyce relentlessly pursued Danny with complete loyalty even though she was also kind of a crazy stalker but so much of early dumbing of age was about red herrings and it felt like Dorothy was always supposed to be a reprise of that relationship in a way just with a twist. A trojan horse homage in a sense... The matrix analogy continues, the chapter so far feels like it's a reexamination of their own relationship with the mutual knowledge now that both have sexual feelings for each other and most likely have for a long time. From the moment Dorothy closed the room to Joyce's dorm last night she crossed a point of no return to keep up an illusion that if carried on any longer would inevitably shatter, Badly.... Now Joyce knows and that inevitable breakdown can occur. edit: an alternate reading... It could be that a lot of Dorothy's observations are actually wrong and just Joyce becoming more of her real self which as Dorothy is figuring out is much more like her than she would care to admit.

TobyTura

no but seriously im glad we are touching on this bc Joyce being Dotty's pet project from day 1 is something i have thought about lots as this storyline has unfolded

shiftdruid

see, these are the kinds of dark places your mind can go when you're kept from doing hand-holding laundry with your bestie

Railway Series Book Club

oh what a fun extra layer to this Single White Female angle Dorothy's adding to her anxiety hoard, Jocye is wearing that top AND dexter pajama pants, just like Dorothy was in that extremely traumatic moment. i love being shot

Morgan Byrd

We need a “grave realizations” counter in the corner of the strip

TobyTura

this strip also reminds me of the early draft of dotty's confession to joe. the "i know [joyce has always kind of had a thing for me]. it was... useful." dialogue is something im desperately sad didn't make the cut because it felt very honest. probably too honest for an initial realization, yes- but man it was a great line.

Andrea Andrew

Joyce isn’t Dorothy’s pet project, and I think you’re missing that she’s still lying to herself.

darklion

and yes 37 times in a row is the only way to listen to music you like

TobyTura

She isn't anymore, no, but she definitely was for a very long time

Kelly (they-them)

Dorothy gave Joyce myopia. What a self centered bongo

Maybeeus

It's the single most fucking evil thing in this comic i swear to god. Wearing her goddamn trauma clothes from the event she still has repeated nightmares about Joyce is a biblical punishment in human form or some shit i swear.

DonnieRamesJio

The song still gives the dopamine hit, so it keeps playing.

Jasmijn Wellner

I've seen Les Miserables on Friday, and I've already listened to the whole 3 hour thing so many times

Sumit

I listen to music the same way.

Baqly

God they are so in love with each other it’s ridiculous.

Harold

@Kelly (they-them): Becky has entered the chat

Harold

The real Dorothy Magnet was the Joyce we made along the way

Girlycore

Oh no, a fursuit to class? The horror? God forbid women have hobbies.

Girlycore

I mean... it might.

Paul McCubbrey

not me hearing "in a row" in brennan lee mulligan's voice from breaking news

David M Willis

if dorothy weren't so selfish she woulda given joyce YOURopia instead, but no, it's always about dotty

Leon

Yes, Dorothy, you caused Joyce's nearsightedness.

Maybeeus

God it just hit me she had the "Oh shit by certain definitions i had sex with Dorothy!" epiphany and then immediately went to jack one of her shirts she's fucking unreal holy shit.

Railway Series Book Club

That "useful" line in the early draft has me interested too, because I'm dying to know what she would even mean by that. Like, I'm not entirely sure what Dorothy would get out of their relationship that she would consider "useful"? Joyce has been a great friend and companion, sure, but given Joyce was persuing her even before she had a chance to help her unlearn any cult-isms, I don't think Dorothy really had a choice in that matter. From a purely pragmatic perspective, it feels like Dorothy's put in a lot of time and effort for very little gain if what she wanted out of this relationship is something other than that. Then again, given Dorothy's searching for ways to deny her own feelings, I could easily see her considering this as another way it wouldn't be okay for them to be with each other. So it doesn't really matter if it actually makes sense or not, because Dorothy's reaching anyway lol

L2theBell

This is completely indecent, Joyce! You can’t just be doing things like this in public. Once you cross this line there’s no going back. Hard to believe our innocent Joyce has turned into the kinda heathen that doesn’t wear headphones while listening to music.

Megh

I mean good chance she had the shirt before hand, but she was in Dotty's room when she had the realization... Fuck it your idea is too funny it's canon to me now

tifani

Hey sometimes you don’t know what you look good in until someone you trust confirms that you look good in it or tells you that you look good in it because you’re out of tune with your own identity you can’t trust your own perception of yourself. Yes I have audhd and complex ptsd why do you ask?

Genevieve

They said it'll make you blind

Gale Tazzin

"i shouldn't do laundry with Dorothy anymore", she said not so long ago
