END OF BOOK FIFTEEN

well that sure was a book huh (derogatory)

Comments

C

...Shit, that doesn't look good. Good thing Sal arrived when she did.

Adriynn

Well, that’s one way to shut everyone up about the Joyce/Dorothy plotline, lol

Jay

Oh so she did get shot. I suddenly care less about the lesbians

Jeremy AR

Holy mother shit!

Sajuuk-Khar

OH OKAY I GET TO BE NOSTRADAMUS ABOUT THIS SHIT. THANKS, WILLIS 😂

The25th

Jesus fuck! I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. I just didn’t know what.

LupinThe8th

PLEASE say this is Amber's "Knightfall" storyline where she asks Sal to take up the mantle while she recovers. Inevitably Jennifer will see her changing or something and feel incredibly vindicated.

Logibear

Was the report that Dorothy read about Amazigirl making it out written by Billie by any chance?

5099 5618 v2.0

...Damn. (I'm glad she's alive. I was worried. But damn.)

Vivian

Ah, dang, Amazi-Girl—you really did a number on Amber this time

wyatt

mamma mia i’ve been fuckin shot

Crunchos cereal

Or not. No sniper shots fired but oh man.

MrShoggoth

Well, fuck, that’s not the ending I was expecting.

Bronxden

bruh holy shit

Sajuuk-Khar

Aw Christ that’s not just beating evidence, homegirl has a really bad *wound* wound, homegirl got SHOT, the fuckin’ sniper hit her in the gut

Proto_Eevee

Does this mean the new suit got damaged

Maude Reads Things

THE AMOUNT OF SWEAR WORDS I JUST USED DAMN YOU, WILLIS.

Heatth

Well, I knew it seemed too good that Joceline and Amazi-Girl were perfectly safe.

5099 5618 v2.0

Hope not. Azrael was not the best at being Batman, iirc.

Grace Serenity

Oh shit! There were like a dozen dropped shoes this storyline, and I didn't see this one coming! Gat'damn, Willis! You're really playing quantum chess and the rest of us are playing tic-tac-toe

Andrea Andrew

Jocelyn seems like she’s safe, at least.

Sajuuk-Khar

GIRL HAS BEEN CRAWLING WITH A GUT WOUND. IT’S BAD, FAM

Sajuuk-Khar

Amazi-Girl about to become Amazi-Oracle huh

Moonrunes

DAMN YOU WILLIS! (I been waiting so long to say that.)

KittyKai

... right. She... yeah she did kind of hit a cop in the face. At a protest with snipers. ... ...SSSSSHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT god I hope she's okay...

Harold

Called it, although I wish I'd been wrong. Fuck. Now I'm wondering if there's another timeskip in our immediate future. That wound looks like it's going to take a while to recover from.

Grace Serenity

Let's not get crazy now! The disaster bis are still important!

Smoochie

I was told once that riot police carry sometimes carry tactical knives for ‘defensive messures’.

William Lewis

Well, fuck. And ACAB. And there if this were real life, this would not be a good spot for anyone.

Smoochie

I’ll see your Sal in “Knightfall” but Amber and counter… Nightguy taking the mantle while she recovers ala Dick Grayson post Battle For The Cowl.

Heatth

I am now a lot more concerned about the title of the next storyline (Not-so Smooth Criminals). The disaster lesbians crimes are fairly low stake. Amazi-Girl's though? She is in deep shit if they are caught. How are they going to get treatment without arising suspicion?

Packy Anderson

Oh, god. Amber, you're supposed to beat the crap out of the bad guys, not the other way around.

Harold

There's blood in the snow around her midsection. Even if it *isn't* a gunshot wound, she's in a very bad way.

GundamBradley

They can potentially BS it as being going too hard on roller derby/practice, but yeah, it's a risky place to be in.

5099 5618 v2.0

Ever so slightly, from the look of it. She's probably already brainstorming the upgrades, tho.

Grace Serenity

"Micro mesh. Sturdy, but outdated... AND YOU TORE RIGHT THROUGH IT! What have you been doing, Amber!?"

Uniquitous

Fuckin hell. Gut shot. She needs treatment immediately, but hospitals tend to report bullet holes to the police when they crop up in people.

theburningbentley

okay this is bad. but as i side note i really love that she texted Sal for help. I love their dynamic.

Megh

I mean, if she just got the living shit beat out of her they can try to dress it up as that maybe, if she got shot tho...

Maude Reads Things

The good news is that the reports say no sniper shots were fired. The bad news is this does not preclude the possibility of OTHER shots being fired or other horrible injuries.

Noelle Eve Palmer

if only there were someone who knew how to provide medical care that didn't involve going to a hospital... someone that sal knows about and would hate to call on... someone who already knows she's amazi-girl...

Sajuuk-Khar

We don’t *know* know, but context clues: her other wounds and bruises look like you’d expect from getting in a fistfight with cops all day, contusions and little bursts of blood. The midsection wound is BIG and clearly bleeding much, much more heavily. :(

Heatth

Same. They really are partners in crime. (they did crimes to each other and now they do crimes together)

Alison Berry

The Messiest Volume of DoA so far, somehow?? A++++ never stop never stopping Willis

Megh

I doubt we're getting a timeskip. I think instead we're gonna see how Amazi-Girl handles being barely able to walk, or hell, maybe not even able to do that

Grace Serenity

This is why going up against riot police with only your hands is not recommended

Heatth

As much as I love the idea I am, uh, less confident on Carla's ability to treat a bullet wound than a head wound.

Megh

Joss is in preview panels at least, unlike a certain brunette...

Tesset

God, the "(derogatory)" in the rant feels so rough. This has been, personally, one of the most enjoyable single storylines of the comic, just from sheer suspense & catharsis, and I'm really sad that the reaction to its controversy has spoiled it for you.

Darastrix

Thought: Sal knows Asher. Asher's grandfather is in a business that tends to keep medics on staff in out of the way places so they can avoid a hospital paper trail, and Amazigirl being helped/owing a debt to the family her dad worked for and had him killed would be deliciously ironic.

Dan Rabin

Wonderful lighting, and nice use of the phone light in panel 3 as Sal's left arm crosses in front of her body to shine the light on Amber as her face registers surprise without resorting to the comic cliché of the cigarette popping out. What has happened? The scene shows no obvious second set of footprints, so Amber has either fallen or chosen to stop and rest. Her text was probably "enigmatic-ass" so as not to reveal her weakened state, either to possible adversaries, or to staunch admirers. And we see that Sal is a trusted contact. Sal has been shown (at least in the scene after the roller-derby match) to be adept at differentiating Amber from Amazi-Girl—we can take her word that this is Amber. Scenes *can* continue past the midnight cutoff into the next storyline, but are not guaranteed to do so if the author wants suspense.

Noelle Eve Palmer

oh I was doin' a bit about how asher also fits all those criteria lol

5099 5618 v2.0

@Heathh Not sure she wouldn't at least try, tho.

5099 5618 v2.0

Further bad news: the reports could be wrong. Just incorrect or made-wrong are both possible.

Heatth

Oh, that makes a lot more sense! Yeah, he is probably the one motherfucker who could plausibly have the right expertise. I don't think he knows who Amazi-Girl is though? And even if he is a soft boy know, I would still not entrust him with such knowledge, and certainly neither would Sal. Sure is good potential for drama!

DiDi-chan

Holy shit, she did get shot. Well, that should address the ones who thought it was too unrealistic that the cops didn't get her...

Amós Batista

I refuse and give this back to the universe.

Heatth

Yeah, I am under the assumption she got shot, given the blood on her belly, which is terrifying. My main concern is the title calling for "not smooth" criminals, though. More than anything I want Amber/Amazi-Girl to be the smoothest criminal that ever existed!

Amós Batista

Ohhh , if they survive, Amber/Amazi-girl Will be so angry with Dorothy and Joyce

Maude Reads Things

Much as I miss Oracle and would like to see more of her (fucking DC Reboot), I'm pretty sure we've seen Amber in future panels walking. Which could be misdirection by Willis, I suppose.

5099 5618 v2.0

...wait, she's in civilian clothes. She's got the suit in her backpack, sure, but I don't think she would have gotten messed up this bad *and then* changed mostly into her regular student outfit . ...did this happen on the way back from the protest? Is it possible she wasn't shot but, like, hit by a car?

Sajuuk-Khar

Monkey’s paw solution: AG got shot making sure big sis got to safety

Maude Reads Things

I really really hope the Walkertons do not take up the mantle in any capacity because they are, in fact, visibly not white and this'll get a lot more ugly for them.

Sajuuk-Khar

5099: THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF ALL TIME LMFAO Smoothie: NIGHTGUY AZRAEL NIGHTGUY AZRAEL NIGHTGUY AZRAEL

Daniel Adams

Holy crap. Side note: I randomly misheard someone say Bi Buddies today and until they figure their lives out that’s what I’m referring to Joyce and Dorothy in my head as

Heatth

I think Harold is suggesting not immediately, but not many story lines down the line. I have no idea how long the recovery is, but, like, at the current pace the story covers 4 days in one year. Is Willis intending to spend multiple years with Amber/Amazi-Girl seriously injuried?

Jesse

That’s the *end* of this part? I know there’s a next one, but bloody hell.

5099 5618 v2.0

Does anyone else know Amber/Amazi-Girl 's patterns well enough to ambush her like this?

Heatth

In the past she wore her civilian clothes under the costume, so she wouldn't need a full costume change.

Noelle Eve Palmer

maybe she pulled a reverse superman and had her civilian clothes on underneath her suit?

Heatth

I think she will have more things to worry about. And it is not like she got hurt because she help them escape (remember, she went back into the zone to help other people).

DannyBoy

Oh no! Damn, not at all what I was expecting. Brutal (not derogatory haha) way to end the book.

Sajuuk-Khar

I doubt it, the severe stomach wound is too localized, and I don’t think people would see Amber get hit by a car and just shrug I think: -she had some sort of AG solution where the suit changes automatically via gadgets and she pressed the button after she got shot -she got shot after evading cops, changing in the woods, and trying to sprint home -she really did change after getting shot because she’s That Binch

Darastrix

It's possible she was stabbed by a knife she didn't notice in the chaos and just thought she'd been punched. She gets away, and then priority 1 would likely have been to get out of the eye-catching, incriminating costume, and she finally notices how bad it is mid-change. Adrenaline is a hell of a pain-suppressant.

Heatth

Oh, yeah, I remember she was involved in the kidnapping, but she actually wasn't around either time Amber revealed herself as Amazi-Girl.

Gale Tazzin

yeah it's funny that the audience is like HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO JOE or BE LESBIAN FASTER and in all the commentary, Willis has shown that this is exactly what we're supposed to feel, except some readers are taking it as terrible storytelling instead the mastery of emotional manipulation it is

5099 5618 v2.0

@Gale Tazzin Edging. Lots of edging. Just... so much edging.

DannyBoy

Also, not apropos of this strip but more because this is the end of the book, I feel like I have to add that I've just really been moved by this recent storyline. Joyce's journey of self discovery and the awkwardness/human-ness has reminded me a lot of various people in my life. Contrary to some of what I'm reading on the website, in many ways I don't think DoA has ever felt more based in reality. All while still being funny, charming and fun to read. It's what finally convinced me I should really be on the Patreon haha. Anyway, TLDR, love your work!

Darastrix

For Amber's part of it, I mean, she is the self-proclaimed goblin who craves mess and, as Booster observed, was kind of deliberately pushing Joyce toward Dorothy so Walky and Dorothy would break up (and then absconded into the ceiling when they called her out on it).

Tessea

Damn you, Willis!!! You set us up with the report that Amazi-Girl had gotten away so we'd let our guard down. The sniper mention was a LITERAL Checkov's Gun. Stupid summer hiatus cliffhangers.... New one tomorrow? oh good. x.x

Tessea

She's in her civvies, but it looks like her costume is in her backpack, and there's blood coming out of it....

Waifu Purplebutt

She'll be fine - she's got nature's ice-pack under her

MrShoggoth

Honestly, until this strip, I thought the most shocking development in this book was the fact Jeph Jacques is a Patron and I only found out when he commented on the big kiss

GPanda

It would be curious to see Danny react to that situation too

Sajuuk-Khar

“DoA adds a mob doctor to the named cast” was not on my bingo card and yet

Ray Fay

You can see her bloody suit sticking out of her backpack. It's safe to say whatever caused this injury happened when she was Amazi-girl

Sajuuk-Khar

GOD 5099 you just pointed it the fuck out and I think I knew subconsciously but didn’t put it together??? Willis, you magnificent bastard, you stopped edging Dorothy x Joyce AND STARTED EDGING THE FALLOUT You are truly edging on a plane above us mortals

Fart Captor

AMBER THAT'S NOT WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KEEP YOUR BLOOD

William Lewis

ACAB - they never tell the truth unless forced to by outside proof of said truth.

Darastrix

However this resolves (possibly with Asher's help, given the potential dramatic irony and the fact that if you don't want to go to the hospital because cops, the mob is kind of old hat at that), I feel like this may also kick things into a longer-term period of going behind Joe and Walky's backs (provided the theory that a pic of Joyce and Dorothy is in the paper the next day or otherwise going viral doesn't come true, which it well may). If they did avoid getting their picture taken (possibly due to being obscured by tear gas), once Joyce and Dorothy find out what's happened to Amber/Amazi-Girl, they're probably going to kick the breakup can further down the road. They're already having trouble telling their respective boyfriends as it is. Amber getting hurt this badly may make them go 'I can't tell him right NOW, not when he's dealing with what happened to Amber. He needs my support.'

Fart Captor

Teenage Faye showed up during the move in! And Dina's been in QC

Heatth

Yeah. I haven't been this invested into this comic in years. Actually, I don't think I was ever invested to the extend I am currently. I don't remember ever being so excited day to day for the next update for weeks on end.

Shane Wegner

Mmm glieven akshuwally all we knew for sure was Amazi-Girl’s status was “not captured”. 🤓

Heatth

I just noticed the (derogatory) in the post and I just wanted to say this have been likely my favorite book in all of DoA. I don't think I was ever that invested, waiting excited every day for 1 am (update time over here) to see the new update. I've reread the whole comic this last month, so excited Ive been. The comments have been rough and *some* of it is not unfair. But on the whole I am really loving it.

Shane Wegner

I’m uncertain on the sniper, sniper shots fired are loud and probably would have made the news. All we really know is there is blood. Some tacticool wannabe pulling a combat knife he picked up at a military surplus store would be silent, however.

Dan Rabin

Somehow I missed the blood—I was thinking that that couldn't be the cape sticking out because it doesn't have red spots on it. Having many commenters is very helpful.

Lazuli

oh my god

shiftdruid

OH TIME TO HAVE NORMAL FEELINGS ABT THIS

Mariah

same I was on the edge lf my seat the whole time I hope Willis doesn't let the Paladins get him down. Paladins (derogatory)

Julian Williams

Oh holy shit, apparently Dorothy was not correct about no one getting shot.

I Know Why the Mowed Lawn Screams

Unironically though, God! That was definitely a fucking storyline! Left my semi-manic feelings on the cheating stuff yesterday (spoilers: I like it) and I’ll hold off for the most part on any more definitive thoughts on the protest stuff until this upcoming chapter is winding down, but this has been the book where all the set-ups from the first five-ish years of the timeskip is starting to reach the end of the chain hill, and we’re about to go all in on the first drop of many. And I think that’s a testament to Willis’ experience as a cartoonist, because you don’t get these kinds of multi-layered stories when you pull your punches. The (Derogatory) might just be a bit but I’ll always appreciate a creative that takes a divisive risk that rings more true to their vision.

I Know Why the Mowed Lawn Screams

This is also the storyline that made me go from a fairly passive fan, if still a daily reader, to an active one, which to me is kinda wild! I haven’t done fandom shit in years! It’s a little crazy! We’ll see how far this goes but it’s been weird and fun to interact with this comic that’s just been such a staple in my life in such a wildly different way.

Maude Reads Things

Dude, much as my wholesome loving nerd and shipper heart say 'Boo! Hiss' my love for the writing and drama craving goblin side have been yelling 'More! More!' and if that's not the emotional conflict within myself I have come to crave from this comic, I dunno what is. I love it, Willis.

Astariel

Holy crap! Is that a gunshot wound? You know things are serious when Sal has a reaction like that. I hope the (derogatory) tag doesn't mean you're feeling too down about things. For what it's worth, I personally loved this book, and I've been completely hooked for the last month or two.

Astariel

Just have to add that it's so perfectly Amber to still be on her phone while bleeding out in the snow.

NinjaZaku

OH I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS AT ALL

Kazo

Me, I'm thinking the school covered up that shots were indeed fired.

ScrimpArt

about to solo these cops will post the vid later i got my ass beat bruh im not posting that shit

ScrimpArt

also if amber dies i will find you

Sajuuk-Khar

DOA is our beautiful telenovela

The Deliberate Myth

This comment made me breathe rapidly through my nose. Well done.

The Deliberate Myth

My head voice is alternating rapidly when reading this. Either I hear it a goofy Mario-esque Italian accent, or I hear it sung to the Abba tune, prompting Sal to respond with "My my... how can I assist you?", threatening to turn the whole thing into the world's first musical comic strip.

The Deliberate Myth

This could be the end of the Dark Knight movie. AG is officially public enemy #1 after fighting AND WINNING against the cops. So Sal pretends to be AG so that they can get Amber healed. They manage to convince the authorities that Amber is NOT Amazigirl thanks to one tireless student news reporter. But the injury has actually made the AG persona go away, leaving Sal no choice but to be the villain they need.

Naff

At first I assumed she was using her phone to get help. Now my current head cannon is, after texting Sal, she is simply scrolling her feed while laying on the ground saying “ow” every 30 seconds or so.

Naff

Also “ow” is what I say every time I reread this strip.

The Deliberate Myth

This seems a good place for her to learn, huh? Huh? Maybe let Carla rebuild AG! Instead of Robocop, she could be... Robogirl..? Enh, gotta be a better name. But maybe this is how Carla decides to right some of the Ruttech wrongs. Not by talking to her parents, but by unleashing Amber rebuilt into a pie-throwing, prank pulling cyborg.

joe mcguire

Oh right…she was in pitched combat with riot cops….kind of got distracted by the cute gay romance drama….

Smoochie

Lemme sweeten the pot by mentioning the sheer amount of damage control their mom would have to pull if Sal and/or Walky try to pull a ‘Batfamily protect Gotham while Batman is down’ for Amber and they GET CAUGHT.

Harold

@Heatth: Asher saw the Amazi-suit hanging in Amber's closet the morning after the not-a-keg party, after he and Ethan crashed in her room. He knows.

Harold

@BBCC: I do not think we have seen any preview panels featuring Amber or Amazi-Girl for quite some time, unfortunately.

Ronokki

Yeah it was a bad book. I hope next time you approach something like this you don't hide things from your sensitivity reader, peace out y'all

Albi

Ah, she did get shot!?

Ilana Feldman

I'm in the same boat. These last few months have gotten me seriously on board.

MrShoggoth

Sensitivity reader? What is going on here?

Ilana Feldman

I was a little disappointed last week when dorothy went "well, looks like the protest ended without any shots fired and everyone's okay". Glad that's not the case, but given that I don't think Willis is going to kill off a character this interesting, I'm wondering where this is going.

etherealDesign

that was an extremely strong contender in my mind for the best book of the entire comic and its been awesome to watch you stunt on the haters this last few weeks. I've never been more excited to see every update every day as soon as it posted and I hope the minority of paladins hasn't managed to sour you on the creation of this beautiful story

Ilana Feldman

There was a sensitivity reader for the protest but IIRC Willis said the kiss was left out as a surprise. I could be remembering wrong though.

Ronokki

This is correct, which hiding stuff from your sensitivity reader is basically the same as not having one

Harold

@Megh: These characters may have a complicated and painful history, and they may frequently hurt each other (intentionally or unintentionally), but when the chips are down they will always have each other's backs. (NOTE: Comments may or may not be intended to apply to more characters than the specific ones under discussion at a given time)

Harold

@The Deliberate Myth: "Gentlefolk... we CAN rebuild her"

Amelia Murphy

Source? I'd like to read more about this

Steve McSheffrey

I still wouldn't have dared him with a text like this.

Seth Aaron Hershman has they/she pronouns

fuck it. i might as well go on the record about this. willis asked me to sensitivity read a few of the comics that mention the protest before joyce and dorothy arrive there. in the original draft, the israel/palestine subtext was a little more overt (still called bulmeria though), and they wanted to me to spot check some stuff that explicitly mentioned judaism. i saw maybe four strips overall, none of which even hinted at joyce/dorothy, and i helped make some very minor tweaks. i also advocated for dropping the "bulmeria" stuff, and willis disagreed. "ah well!" i thought to myself. "surely i'm not willis' sole sensitivity reader. i'm sure they got someone with a swana and/or muslim background to look at the rest of this." the idea that i, an ashkenazi jew, would be the only person consulted on an allegory for the genocide against palestine, did not even cross my mind. and then, as the backlash was heating up, i saw willis comment on a patreon post (i forget which) that they had hidden some stuff from their sensitivity reader--reader, not readerS--and. well. the details of what happened between me and willis after that are no one else's business. suffice to say i got apologies, i believe willis' contrition is sincere, and i helped them make what i hope are some good decisions about how to proceed--including, most crucially, having someone way more qualified than me look at this stuff (all of it, not just four strips' worth) in the future.

Ronokki

Thank you for sharing all that for context Seth, that is very useful and clarifying. I sincerely hope Willis takes your advice to heart in the future to do a better job going forward, both in identifying what needs to be covered like this and by how many people and from which angles

David M Willis

I approached Wack'd because I was putting words into Dorothy. I didn't approach any Muslim people because I... wasn't putting any words into any Muslim characters. which is the problem actually I never thought about approaching anybody about the story as a whole, only about the individual strip dialogue. Which, again, is another problem! a problem i will not be making again, i am an idiot

zee

Okay fine i guess I'll like amber. You didnt have to literally shoot her for it, damn

zee

Hey anything to keep you conscious

Mariah

he killed off mike

tifani

Gotta say Amber has absolutely succeeded at her “get Walky back” plan in a way that is honestly impressive even if only half of it was intentional and has completely altered her entire social group with absolutely no effort at all. Just by convincing Dorothy to send Joyce that pic she set in motion Dorothy’s bisexual awakening. Ripple effects of that are the cheating that now the only actual witness who cares enough to say anything is her alter. By showing that she trusts Sal enough to be the first person she texts AFTER BEING SHOT she now has concrete evidence the rift between her and Sal is fully healed. Now she’s going to be in the hospital with a life threatening injury ensuring Walky, Joe, Sal, Danny, Ethan, and Dorothy are all in the same place in an emotional loaded time. Launching and destroying all these different ships with one small push. If she developed a third Moriarty type alter she could take over the world.

Sajuuk-Khar

god I have to remember to recuse myself completely from main site comments before I get into discussions that progress to “I don’t actually care about Joyce or Dorothy’s specific actions” (because he has Decided they are adulterers now, you see)

Maybeeus

edit: i totally forgot to mention how this is probably the first time we've seen Sal this exasperated. I'm so used to her being distant and aloof that it kinda throws me off seeing her this worried. So good news and bad news. Good news is she definitely wasn't shot by a sniper because if she were she would probably be uhhh... Not going "Ouch" like this. Bad news is... Well just look at her! I get the feeling she might have been jumped while on the escape and mid-change either way getting stabbed means no amazi-girl for awhile. She really is the Goku of the strip always incapacitated until shit gets super serious. I think now i'm rooting for Walky to decide to get super serious about his own super hero shtick in order to fill the void and also keep growing as a person. I've thought about where Walky is going to go after the whole Joyce and Dorothy thing and have always rooted pretty heavily in favor of him deciding to actually lock in and start improving as a person in response. Though one must ponder if becoming a masked vigilante is "improving" as a person or not. I'm debating currently whether or not i'm gonna make a long end of chapter comment after this now...

Ph

Curious if Asma and Raidah's words (cop energy etc) were all added later on. I thought it was only the last Asma strip when she came back.

Alexandra Falk

Really a hell of a book, Willis. Seems like you'll have to grow + have grown a lot as a writer and artist by the end of it, judging by some of the other comments here - it's good that even after decades comicking you're still improving rather than stagnating. Love this ending gutpunch.

Maude Reads Things

I was thinking more a carefully worded Exact Words report. No SNIPER shots were fired, but regular shots from cops on the ground? Maybe so.

Kelly (they-them)

I hope Willis goes with the biggest possible twist tomorrow: Immediately continuing this plot thread with Amber and Sal. Because what I'm expecting, is the next story line to start with a flash back. Or a transition back to the Sickos. And then we'd find out more about Amber's fate in January 2026. C'mon, Willis. We all know you love a twist. Go for a meta twist

Kelly (they-them)

Actually, shit, I don't want that. Fucking monkey paw ass author - if we go back to Amber tomorrow, it's gonna be because she's marked for death

Mariah

Floored by people who still try to say joyce is still straight or that cheating means she has no morals. Just insane levels of coping I wish some of them will just admit they really liked joe joyce and don't want them to break up instead of going on a witch hunt.

Kyle

I'm reminded of when Maggie cut the arm off the Walky cake, and wonder what sort of desert Amber's about to earn.

tifani

….So is it weird I’m kind of shipping these two now? Or would it be weirder if I weren’t?

Maybeeus

You're right for this and it makes you stronger.

Megh

Wait what? What's the story here? I'm sure it's a reference to something that happened in the Walkyverse but I've not read much of that

Harold

Stabbed by Love: A Dumbing of Age Pornographique

tifani

Awww their meet cute

tifani

Now I’m remembering Amber being confirmed as the other woman Dorothy’s attracted to and if I get my way Walky has the potential for the funniest/most justified freak out ever.

Harold

@Tifani: Isn't it Amazi-Girl that Dorothy's attracted to, not Amber? Amber and Dorothy are friends, but it was specifically A-G (in workout mode) who had Dotty biting her lip immediately following her bi-realization.

Harold

But whither Hat Guy?

tifani

They look alike and I don’t think Dorothy’s libido knows the difference.

tifani

I don’t want that to be the name but I cannot think of anything better.

Mariah

they got that enemies to lovers energy.

Kelly (they-them)

This is the most terrifying fanfiction I've ever read

Kelly (they-them)

I've low key shipped them since Amber and Amazi-Girl had that argument under the privacy chairs when Sal confronted them about hogging all the furniture

KittyKai

... oh shit now that you mention it... I don't think I can unsee it. That's too perfect :O

Maybeeus

I don't think Dorothy would force Joyce into breaking up with Joe if it came down to that but the idea that Joyce fumbles so hard that she loses both Joe and Dorothy is one that stuck with me. That's how we get Anti-Joyce. So many people are worried about Joe backsliding (he wont) but Joyce has basically been slowly becoming more and more of what she originally hated about Joe in some ways very good in some ways very bad. Anti-Joyce herself was VERY Joe like and since she was basically Joyce's shadow it highlights a lot of facets on why Joyce probably likes Joe and another part of her complicated feelings towards him. She's just as much of a hornbeast if not even moreso than him. Their relationship has been her slowly easing herself into learning to accept these traits about herself (with help from Dorothy) and i think that's a part of what up until now made them work. Anti-Joyce was such a minor bit of the walkyverse but i constantly think about her and how despite in the basic text just being Joyce But Horny she also clearly represents so much more. She's made up of so much of the unprocessed trauma of IW! Joyce. In a way i see her as what Joyce would have become if she didn't end up mind wiped. She's a Joyce who gave up on having real emotional connections and swore off love entirely believing it just wasn't worth the pain. And a part of that still lingers with her "real" self who when given the first chance showed that she was not only just as bad as Anti-Joyce but far worse. Anti-Joyce didn't have a bodycount after all. Basically what you end up with is a Joyce who traded a fear of sex for a fear of love. For the most part i want these characters to be happy and eventually with some stumbling end up doing the right thing and solving things but another part of me wants to see shit go really wrong and see Joyce go "Bad" even though for the most part this would just entail becoming more distant from everyone. I think the only caveat is what i've entailed is kinda just what Ethan did but Ethan and Joyce are already very similar in a lot of ways and the fact she hasn't gone bad already like Ethan is astounding. I could go on for hours Fuck.

See I don’t know that I completely agree with this but I *understand* it, I get this kind of speculation, unlike the whole “Joyce and Dorothy are wallowing in their cheating asshole status, gleefully, and it makes me hate them and demand their judgment” Like, what are your definitions of these things, mainsite poster?? have you ever met a real cheating asshole??? in your life?????

There's a series of staged photos from when Maggie and I first started dating where she took a plastic Halloween store hatchet to me and murdered me in my kitchen for killing Walky (briefly) in It's Walky!. There may be a birthday cake around because I think it was around her birthday and I put a frosting Walky face on the Kroger-bought cake I got her. That's all I can think of!

Nah, you're not weird! It's not a ship I personally sail (just too much ugliness in the early story for me to personally enjoy it) but lots of people really like it! You'll be in good company with fun shipmates! Happy sailing!

Or hit by shrapnel from a flash bang or tear gas canister. Or hit directly by a tear gas canister. Or one of those "rubber" bullets that are more like musket balls with a rubber coating. Or bean bag rounds at course range
