I TRIED TO FUCKING TELL YALL ABOUT THE BOOK OF RUTH DOG I WARNED YOU ALL

el

just gotta say this art is genuinely beautiful (despite the many pigs in it)

Megh

What's this now about Ruth?

Grace Serenity

I know I'm feeling thoroughly romanced!

Moonrunes

Oh shit they got guns in the background.

Astariel

OMG, it's the lesbian wedding verse! Joyce is the best!

Railway Series Book Club

now one might feel compelled to say "NO JOYCE YOU IDIOT GET AWAY FROM THE ERUPTING CRISIS" but you must consider: she needs to protect her princess

Doran McEowen

Currently reading a summary after this comment and uh oh. Ohhh no. My heart...

Tom @ Magic Chopstick Games

Prooobably bean bags/rubber bullets, as these are riot police Not that that’s GREAT, but

Packy Anderson

Now, what I want to read is the book of Ruth... Lessick.

Tom @ Magic Chopstick Games

I find this quite unrealistic Like riot police in this day and age would *throw* gas canisters when there are perfectly good launchers available at bargain basement prices for law enforcement agencies

Gale Tazzin

if dorothy and joyce both make it out of this alive they are going to scissor

Harold

HOLY FUCK. OH. MY. GOD. Joyce appears to have finally regained Dorothy's attention. She certainly has ours. They ARE going to recreate that viral kissing-in-the-middle-of-a-riot photo I mentioned a few days ago, aren't they? Also, LOL (with a healthy helping of concern for her well-being) at the flying Amazi-Girl in the background.

David M Willis

also they might be grenade launchers for the tear gas canisters, those are typically shot (at people) that one police guy is throwing one manually because i wanted a specific shape

Tom @ Magic Chopstick Games

This. The gang isn’t likely to *die* here, but oh my goodness the pain they’re about to experience

Harold

"If you need a femur, I shall give you my femur"

Andrew Dederer

Yep, book of Ruth. My question is, where did she learn that one? Not high on the Fundy reading list I would think..

Matt Zweig

What is Joyce Quoting? I don’t recognize it

Gale Tazzin

this is Joyce we're talking about. she has read the entire Bible several times over, even if her church never preached on some parts of it

5099 5618 v2.0

Ruth, if memory serves. These are often included in marriage vows.

William Lewis

Oh. Shit. Book of Ruth? That's a pretty stark declaration dude.

5099 5618 v2.0

A friend of mine had a theory that Ruth and Naomi were lesbians, once upon a time. Not my world, so I can't comment more than that, but I suspect Joyce has opinions on this.

Fart Captor

what strip did Ruth say THAT in??

Fart Captor

Okay NOW Dotty is ready to fist fight the cops

voyager-ngc5195

While I prefer this version and would rather not force Willis to draw police officers, like at all, it should be noted that the actual police presence at Dunn Meadow last year was many multiple times this amount.

5099 5618 v2.0

Or at least attempt to before deciding it's not worth the effort/trouble and finding other things to do. I'm told this is also a known pathway, anyhoo.

Megh

I think Willis is lying to us. How can this comic possibly get even gayer next year???

TobyTura

"Ruth made a radical break with everything she had ever known in life when she told her mother-in-law, Naomi, “Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God” (Ruth 1:16, NLT)."

Jesse

They’re making out by the end of the day, aren’t they?

Megh

I swore you said it like a month ago as well! Either way this right here is peak gay

TobyTura

in case anyone needed context like i did lol. i was not as dedicated to bible study as our girl

Harold

IN JAIL

Harold

@Toby (she-they): Billy Graham was not as dedicated to Bible study as Joyce

The25th

Look at sir Joyce

The25th

I loved that Joyce is a knight tumblr post you made.

TobyTura

anyway. this strip is diabolical for so many reasons um. okay!

Kelly (they-them)

Joyce and Dorothy just keep getting gayer and gayer. How will they out gay themselves next time? Find out tomorrow on DRAGONBALL Z

Shane Wegner

Guy who sold the tent for $20 is LIKING his investment right about now.

Gale Tazzin

joyce is literally risking death to support dorothy. the ship has sailed on "not worth the trouble"

Gale Tazzin

the Book of Ruth in the Bible, not Ruth Lessick the comic character

Fart Captor

Well, after Joyce and Dotty make out in jail, Joe and Walky find out and are heartbroken, and seek comfort in each other's arms Maybe they both transition while they're at it, and finally get to join the polycule with Grace, Mandy and Sierra Carla becomes AG's sidekick but really just goes around in a mask with a blow gun and darting people with estrogen (Willis you can have those for free)

Kelly (they-them)

That particular cop is trying to look like a badass

Nailbumwees

Something something Pornographique

Fart Captor

Huh. Never heard of that web comic

Acebender

Jesus H she went through the tear gas

Nailbumwees

Murphy had his launcher privileges revoked after making a poor-taste joke about the captain's wife at the Christmas party.

Brian Danger Hicks

Well, it's Joyce, but I'm pretty sure this verse came up a while back, with Dorothy mentioning it was the lesbian wedding verse.

C

...They're going to make a wild newspaper photo-op for this, aren't they? Especially if they kiss for it, while Dorothy holds up her sign with one hand, while Joyce kicks a tear gas grenade away with her foot.

AE Gonzalez

Going by anime, Naruto/Sasuke

Grace Serenity

I feel like they could just have sex and that would somehow be less gay than everything else they've done today

shiftdruid

YOU. YOU UNDERSTAND.

Andrew

We’re well over 9000 at this point, right? Anyone keeping count?

TobyTura

No but seriously imagine it: You're seeing fall out boy on a concert. Everyone is having a great time. Fall out boy seem a little excited. "We have a surprise for you guys." Partick says. All of a sudden P!ATD come out and start singing "this is gospel." When Brendon gets to the chorus, someone else starts singing... "When I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band." Lights flash everywhere, and you see FOB singing "this is gospel" along with P!ATD, while MCR is singing "Black parade". Everyone in the crowd is going wild and crying. Then if things couldn't get any better, Dan and Phil walk onto stage and kiss, holding the gay flag.

Genevieve

I am **speechless** with delight

Inquiring Raven

It was in mine… and I’m not even religious (it was a compromise for parentals)

Maude Reads Things

Well, thankfully, Joss just said you ALL should leave so for the love of fuck please listen.

Sajuuk-Khar

Jocelyne: “Sis, babe, that’s VERY sweet and cute and I would LOVE to talk about how you can make poly work with Dorothy here and Joe LITERALLY ANYWHERE BUT DUNN MEADOW RIGHT NOW”

Yue Ryong

Man... speaking as someone who identifies a lot with Joe... Good for them, but this is going to mess my boy up Hard.

jafortee

This scripture is often used in lesbian wedding vows and there’s a strip from before the time-skip saying as much :)

Jerry K. Sweeney

Joyce is paraphrasing the essence of Ruth 1:16-17

zee

Man even when she's trying to be more radical, dotty is still a white lib. Cuz this is purely symbolic, more about her than the actual cause and not helpful to anyone /j

NinjaZaku

Mad respect to Joyce for being able to power through that tear gas. My asthmatic ass could never.

Harold

Love finds a way!

Packy Anderson

I refuse to believe in "peak gay". The best you can claim is "gayest SO FAR".

Packy Anderson

And I'd forgotten the phrase "dingdong jail".

Greg Willickers

It's heavy stuff. Not just a declaration of love, but also a renunciation of what she was and where she came from. A refusal of the idea that she should live as two things, an embrace of the new people and place she's become a part of as her new identity.

L2theBell

I hope we get a hard cut to Sierra with a knowing smirk

Ph

The disregard from zoomer americans for the actual subjects of the protest is too real.

zee

Ngl I'm listening to the Deltarune chap 3+4 OST rn and I thought Tobias radiation fox had replied to me somehow for a second

zee

At this point I'm surprised Joss isn't just ditching her equipment to physically drag dot out of there bc fuck it I would. Dumb lil baby child, have your epiphany somewhere without tear gas and snipers

Sajuuk-Khar

WHICH IS THE MOST [[BANGER]] TITLE ON THAT OST: -Ruder Buster -It’s TV Time!! -Black Knife -Dark Sanctuary -Hammer of Justice -GUARDIAN [[VOTE NOW!! WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!]] FOR THAT SWEET SWEET [[Hyperlink Blocked]]

CK

It's a fucking wedding arch, isn't it

CK

(positive)

zee

I nominate all of part 4 Alex Eta: the real answer is all the sanctuaries btw. Hard choice but they make my brain do a light show

Andrea Andrew

I think she was also trying to avoid her problems too. Thank goodness Joyce might be done avoiding those problems.

zee

Oh wait I thought all the people citing Ruth (1:16) were joking about a Ruth the RA quote I either forgot or was from one of the older comics

Maybeeus

The whole book of ruth thing spelt out so much with Dorothy and Joyce's arc. Regardless of whether or not these two are good for each other, Joyce WILL always be there for Dorothy. A part of why i like these two being together is specifically because they are moderately dysfunctional in a way that isn't doomed but rather they can grow and learn from. This is after all a story that is at it's core about making mistakes repeatedly and learning from them. Of all the pairings, i want to see these two be stupid together the most.

Railway Series Book Club

I feel like its not entirely fair to say it's entirely symbolic. She's definitely using this as an outlet to self-destruct but I don't think she'd be doing this if it wasn't over a subject she actually cared about. If this wasn't her intentionally doing Joyce-esque impulsive choice, she'd probably have done reading on what exactly's going on in Bulmeria and what you should or shouldn't do in these protest situations. (but, y'know, crashout's gonna crashout)

Railway Series Book Club

oh oops i only just realized there was a /j at the end of your post, it was worded so much like the unironic main site comments that see dorothy's crashout as a bug and not a feature that i started posting on autopilot, my bad lol

TobyTura

omg dude i have had an internet friend by the name of Fox for 10 years now so when Undertale came out I was SO confused why people were talking about us LMAOOOO

zee

@QueenOfSodor Yeah it wasn't intended as criticism. The /j is mostly that I'm saying it light heartedly, I guess hj would be more accurate but that's an annoyingly vague tone indicator. i know she cares about this, but its stil a very self destructive dumb white teen way of going about it. And that's not a criticism, dot is a dumb white teen trying to become *actually* politically active for the first time, she's gonna act like it

Rob McBobson

I'm ignorant about this; please elaborate.

Harold

@Rob McBobson: P is simply pointing out that the characters are focused on their own personal problems rather than the substantive world issues (and the people being affected) that are being protested. There is no such country as "Bulmeria" in the real world, of course, but P is stating that too many young Americans *in* the real world are doing exactly what the strip's characters are doing.

Ph

Like for instance in the last strip Dorothy said "you don't know what I need". She's just using this as the setting for her own outlet.

Genevieve

I am truly locked the fuck in for the Princess Dorothy/Knight Joyce dynamic

Jasmijn Wellner

Fucking gorgeous. RIP Willis' drawing hand?

Donny K

Joyce whipping out the Ruth 1:16 <3 <3 <3

Terra Bruder

"But then I realized, oh, this is a wedding. Joyce is pledging herself and her life to Dorothy here in no uncertain terms. Joyce needs her verse from the Book of Ruth she wrote on the lunch bag years earlier. I needed an aisle. I needed an arch over Dorothy. I already have my witness." -- Willis, in notes on unused scripts

Amós Batista

OOHH (I have to read it again) l. And it's a perfect ark hahaj

Harold

"Excuse me while I WHIP THIS OUT"

MrShoggoth

I know this is weeks late but is that Book of Ruth quote what Ida Straus said to Isador when she refused to leave him on the Titanic?? Oh my god. Holy shit, I can’t believe I didn’t connect the dots until now
