Putting the Dork in Adorkable...

Packy Anderson

The buttons are hidden such that only Joyce knows where they are!

AE Gonzalez

“Capture” her? Was this meant to sound creepy?

KittyKai

In case it wasn't clear enough that Joyce is DEFINATELY the dom in this relationship x3

Dan Rabin

Work-oriented-Dorothy panels interleaved with Jesturing-Joyce panels in which the right hand is statically brushing her teeth; the last panel is wider to reveal the non-buttons that have always been there. If the Dorothy-containment device goes "klaxon! klaxon!" when activated, how does it sound if Dorothy breaches containment? Would the heavy steel containment doors that have been there all along in Read Hall slam shut?

Lazuli

quite hornt

Railway Series Book Club

it's not true love if it doesn't sound at least a little bit weird to outsiders!

Crunchos cereal

The buttons are probably made of keratin. You know, like nails.

Harold

The very horntest

Tom Boucher

Honestly, I guess I'm struggling with this bit of the story line, when we have Dina and the others dealing with the fallout and it seems out of character to be this oblivious to it or this un-caring about the fallout.

Harold

@Packy Anderson: These are, of course, not to be confused with the buttons that activate The Dorothy Noise Machine. Joyce may be the only one who knows where those are, as well.

William Lewis

Posted about "yesterday" on bluesky but still appropo now... God, I so love these two. It reminds me of when I was 16 and fell in love with my then 14 year old love of my life. We slipped apart in our early 20's yet got together again a few years ago (60 & 58) and it's always like these two when we get together... Thank you, Willis

Dmitri0240

We've seen like 2 minutes out of their entire day; just assume they're fretting uselessly over things they can't fix off-panel.

William Lewis

There is a place in life where we can worry about the shit we can't change or we can love the one your with, as CSN put it. I will always chose to love the one I'm with.

Spartacus

I mean, Joyce is being consistently self-centered, her anxiety is usually about her own moral purity rather than how her actions affect other people, and Dorothy is specifically giving herself permission to be self-centered. Plus, they're still in their intense honeymoon period. It feels right that they're not considering other people.

Dan Rabin

The Dorothy panels may be giving us a preview of something Dorothy and Joyce may have to work out: Dorothy's epiphany at the protest is that she's going to put her becoming-President energy into becoming an activist will take time away from Joyce-cuddling containment.

GundamBradley

Take a hint, perhaps, Dorothy, and A. do not ask about it to begin with over the phone, and B. understand that after what you and Joyce wound up doing at that protest, Jocelyn might not want you two within a stone's throw of any further protests until you two wise up.

InkyD

Maybe I don’t understand the character, but I’m not enjoying this version of Joyce. She’s becoming Too Much.

Lazuli

joyce would probably consider it too

Tessea

Joyce may be slipping towards completely abandoning reality to focus on her girlfriend! Seriously, though, she seems to be severely over-correcting from her hyper-religious upbringing. Methinks there are more very serious talks in Joyce's future, and not just about Joe. Maybe Dorothy will end up agreeing to share Joyce with Joe just to have some downtime from Joyce's endless energy.

Annie

Joyce never does anything halfway. It's one extreme to another extreme. Nothing in between. Hope Dorothy can last alongside this Energizer Bunny. Dorothy has a life outside of her relationship with Joyce. I can't help but wonder will Joyce be the type to make her relationship her whole personality?

Girlycore

Seeing myself in the playfulness Joyce is exhibiting here and then reading all the comments that say Joyce is too much, creepy, annoying, etc... just oof. My precious ego.

Fart Captor

God forbid women be a little silly

Sajuuk-Khar

she’s got a natural talent

Sajuuk-Khar

I’m picturing the alarm from S1E1 of Stranger Things, Joyce in a lab coat pelting it down the hallway

Sajuuk-Khar

What, exactly, do you want Dorothy and Joyce to do about “the fallout” that they haven’t already done??? PS: if your response involves talking to Joe I will block you immediately

Sajuuk-Khar

Those buttons are DOUBLE secret, you see

Sajuuk-Khar

how could you say something so controversial yet so brave

Sajuuk-Khar

Dorothy is settling into her nesting phase with a quickness, like, the parallels to her early relationship with Walky are almost eerie

Packy Anderson

Until Joyce is devoured by the Dorothygorgon?

Zesstra

Hurray, a promise of Jocelyne in the near future!

Sajuuk-Khar

Like I know this is a bad faith comment, Tom, this is practically from a form letter entitled “Bad Faith Comment -Dumbing of Age”, but indulge me a minute, I’ve been very good. I’ve given a lot of grace. I’ve ceded the main site comments entirely to this kind of thing, so tell me please, as if you were serious: what *should* Dorothy and Joyce, oblivious to the pain of others as the Sidhe are to the pain of man, fucking, DO that they have not DONE? You want them to talk to Becky and Dina? They have. They have done that. In Becky’s case, repeatedly. A large part of this story arc has involved checking in with them and doing their due diligence! It happened not even a month ago! You want them to check in with Asma? GUESS WHAT THE BOWLING MISUNDERSTANDING TRIP WAS ALL ABOUT??? Hmmmm! HMMMMMMM. You want them to talk to Joe? Go to jail! Joe doesn’t get to talk to them! I am the Bizarre Dorventure’s strongest soldier and I cannot STAND the “tAlK to jOe” whining. I will not HAVE it.

Tessea

And just to be clear. I know they're just playing with each other. I love these two. :D

Astariel

We had a whole bit where Joyce tried to deal with the fallout with Dina, and it a) didn't seem to help Dina much, and b) everyone in the comments got really mad at her for butting in. So it seems like they can't win either way.

Astariel

Very cute. I wonder if someone has been showing Joyce some Star Trek.

Empress of Robots

THIS IS MY DOROTHY! THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE!

Ilana Feldman

She did say "might", and those estimates were being revised downward in real time.

Tom Boucher

OK then, 10 + years on the DofA Patreon and I'm reminded why I never have bothered to comment beyond the 'Patreon is shit and broke the way emails are coming and making it harder to read'. I didn't even mention Joe and crazy town Saujuuk jumps down my throat. chill out. I'm not a writer, I don't know what isn't working for me, I have no expectations or desires to direct the storyline, just for the first time ever this feels 'off' to me. something isn't gelling right and the lack of remorse or discussion with each other about it either I've missed a context cue but even these four panels feels like two separate and disparate conversations and could have been glued together from four other strips for as little as they're talking to each other vs just aloud in the same room. It seems to continue to get 'worse' as the strips have gone on.

meh

feeling torn between “this is an adorable display of joyce seeking comfort in playful language”, and needing dorothy to grasp how important it is to establish safe words and boundries. BEFORE joyce finds out about puppy dorothy and buys a collar and kennel.

DramaQueen

I love these too as well. It would be fun to read about adding Joe to this dynamic. Youth is the time to have those polycules or harem or whatever. It gets complicated with demanding jobs with judgmental bosses, children with their grandparents, and diminishing time or energy later. Every relationship has drama and requires emotional investment and work, a throuple increases all of that exponentially. Of course fiction is the best place haha, the drama is amusing instead of exhausting.

DramaQueen

Seems like Dorothy is amused. I don’t think Joyce is being overbearing or aggressive.

DramaQueen

Just the cutest. They’ve spent the day talking to other people working on relationship mending and been roundly mocked by the main site comments. I’m glad to see Joyce at least taking some time to focus on building and enjoying THIS relationship.

meh

ok i think some of the struggle people have is that joyce and joe were presented as a VERY normal story trope. joe was going to earn joyce and if that story was going to become joyce and dorothy an emotional price was needed. joyce needed to suffer to get there. instead these two just fell into their existing dynamic. and dina and becky didnt get to avoid dealing with a huge problem in their relationship. the expected tropes have been fucked with. also fuck patreon for constantly posting this mid sentance god damnit.

meh

like this is just how there two goobers have always been. the only addition is a sex. so the relationship didnt have a drawn out transformation. they already figured out how they fit together and it can feel like some steps were skipped, because those steps occured “out of order”.

"MY DOROTHY IS MY BEST FRIEND. SHE IS MY LIFE. I MUST MASTER HER AS I MASTER MY LIFE"

Rob McBobson

I've got nothing to add to the debate other than that I agree with Spartacus that Joyce's morality is usually self-centered. I'm open to corrections here but often, Joyce seems (to me) like a person whose priority is feeling that she is A Good Person. Like, you know how some people donate blood, and if you learn the person who got the blood died anyway, you can either think "Oh no! That poor person!" or you can think "At least I know that I did what I could"? Joyce strikes me a bit like the second kind. (Not that the thought matters that much in this case. What matters is that you give blood if you can. Give blood, people.) EDIT: And I want to be clear that I don't want to be too critical of Joyce, here. I'm not trying to paint her as a bad, selfish person for thinking this way. I'm just saying that her morals seem mostly focused on her own moral evolution.

Astariel

Amen to that.

Astariel

There's a preview panel dated March, but we can't be sure how far the additions will push it back.

JarJar

yeah I kinda agree with you! I guess, we just gotta see where things go? It's tricky to articulate, but this storyline definitely provokes some strong feelings in people (obviously that's no excuse for anyone to be a jerk). In universe-- I think they've only been officially together for less than a week? As a reader, I think it's ok if stuff feels off to you for a while, I mean Willis did describe the initial storyline as blowing up his strip. I also think it's ok if people are just enjoying the cute Joyrothy content rn. I'm still not entirely sure how this is supposed to all play out, it's exciting but also deliberately messssy.

Alexandra Falk

big ups to jocelyne for having good opsec.

Dmitri0240

Half of a relationship is saying things that would get your committed or arrested if said in front of anyone else. Dorothy is an adult who would be completely justified in leaving the situation if she felt uncomfortable. Instead, she's bantering and seemingly preparing to cuddle.

Dmitri0240

@Tom Regarding "lack of remorse", I think it's important to be clear what exactly Joyce and Dorothy are expected to be remorseful of. How guilty are two 19-year-olds supposed to feel for having an inconveniently-timed sexual orientation awakening? Sure, in a perfect world they would have realized this either earlier (when they first started to fall in love with each other), or later at some point when they both happen to be single. But life usually isn't that convenient. If we assume that Joyce is indeed romantically in love with and sexually attracted to Dorothy and this isn't some crazy "phase", then Becky, Dina, Joe, and Walky all get hurt no matter how perfectly Joyce and Dorothy handled things. Should they have trusted Jocelyn's choice to go a public protest where she risked being outed and stayed out of a cause they weren't knowledgable of? Maybe. Should Joyce have stepped aside and let Dorothy have her physical-danger-seeking crisis without intervention for the sake of remaining faithful to a guy she's been dating for a week? I guess someone (not me) could argue so, though Joe himself would seem to disagree. Should they have run to their respective boyfriends' rooms the very moment after they escaped the protest, to come clean 12 hours earlier? I guess??? Could they have done more to explain their actions at the protest to Asma? Or perhaps they should have just accepted the social cost of their actions and let Asma come to them if she so chose? Yes, there are moral questions at play even if you accept the facts at hand. But these remaining questions are pretty nuanced and wouldn't have actually saved anyone any meaningful hurt. They've seemingly spent a good deal of the first few days of their relationship trying (and mostly failing) to help the people who have been negatively impacted by their coming out. But if the new rule is that two people in a new relationship aren't allowed to have *any* joyful moments together until each and every third party is 100% satisfied, then we might as well call it quits on relationships all together because that's not happening.
