why brag about this universally-shared experience

whoever picked enter sandman gets a gold star

Andrea Andrew

We brag because it’s a truth that needs to come out! Most people are bisexual/pansexual to some level. It’s a lot harder to find completely straight people.

Railway Series Book Club

speaking of which, alice really seems to be pressing her arm into jennifer's bosom these past couple strips

Ria

Gang what if I went crazy and decided to ship Asma and Jennifer

Corronchilejano

You could talk about how she was a campaign manager but nooooo, it's all drama to you Billie.

Logibear

A short arc to build up a reason for Asma to show up for Karaoke just so that Ruth could deliver the most unwitting and crushingly painful punchline for Asma through Metallica lyrics?.... *chefs kiss*

Logibear

"It's what besties do, eh bestie?"

Harold

OH MY GOD PANEL 5 IS SO PERFECT. What an incredible payoff with the song choice!

Crunchos cereal

Yeah, I never thought of the lyrics in this context. Brilliant.

Harold

Her arm could crawl up into them and be safe and warm forever

Astariel

Suddenly, I want Alice and Becky to become close friends and bond over loving ladies, hot goss, and hot goss about loving ladies.

EXIT LIGHT ENTER (YURI) NIIIIGHT

Lazuli

jennifer's a drama magnet

Lazuli

turtle mode became oppossum mode

Railway Series Book Club

that would be really funny considering asma's first impression of jennifer was her picture in a file of noted alcoholics moving into campus this year

GundamBradley

Jenniferbillie has such an interesting relationship with her sexuality.

Kelly (they-them)

Jennifer sure does have a lot of sex with people of her own gender for someone who's straight

C.T. Phipps

Oh dear, Jennifer is indicating she thinks she's straight.

Gale Tazzin

"exit light, enter night" = reject your church and become gay

Kazo

Ruth. Ruth did.

KiasyonSFM

Asma getting called out so hard 😂

@C.T. Phipps Sounds like she's saying functional bisexuality is the assumed norm, in her mind. I have... mixed feelings about this assumption, but it's very... developmentally appropriate.

Andrea Andrew

And then they start dating, then Asma, Dina, and Jen join them in a polycule. Joyce/Joe/Dorothy: you too?

5099 5618 v2.0

@Kelly (they-them) Bit of the old early days of Something Positive, there.

@Astariel New ship: Alice & Becky. Needs a name. Anyone got one for them?

NinjaZaku

Asma is having a *time*

Fart Captor

Becky can brag about having gay thoughts because she's VERY good at it 😤

5099 5618 v2.0

Curious if Asma is a Foo Fighters fan. "Monkey Wrench" could work pretty well, here. Also: fun screamy bits towards the end [1]. "Stupid" or most by Ashnikko could work, too. [1] - "ONE. LAST. THING. BE. FORE. I. QUIT.--"

Sajuuk-Khar

Interesting is holding up as much as Atlas the Titan here

Railway Series Book Club

I'VE BEEN ON THE ALICE/BECKY TRAIN FOR MONTHS HELLO HI I AM HERE sadly do not have a shipname yet, i've been waiting for some kinda interaction between them to help one solidify in my brain, so MAYBE THIS IS IT, WHO KNOWS

Shane Wegner

Who but her gets to decide? (Although the facts remain either way, interpretations are flexible.)

Harold

Re: ship names - I mean, "Up Top" is right there in the strip

Harold

A drama tag-net, even

Lazuli

becky's whole life is a gay thought

Ste Saunders

Or at least it would be, if a large portion of those bisexuals weren't in denial. Oh hey Billie, how's the straight life treating you?

Sajuuk-Khar

Ask me about my deranged new prophecy of the karaoke night’s sexual fallout (unless you’re Queen, who knows already)

Sajuuk-Khar

Becky is a 9th level Eldritch Sapphic easily

Terra Bruder

"Mom who tells gay daughter that everyone is attracted to women" is one of my favorite flavors of sapphic

@S-K The floor is yours. Let's hear it.

SAJUUK’S DERANGED PROPHECY: Okay, so it goes like this. 1.) Billie, predictably, fumbles Alice. Probably in a way that maintains their budding reconnected friendship but denies Alice’s dreams of cheerleader tribadism, at least for now! 2.) As a result, Becky and Alice hook up. They both love kissing girls, they’re both horny on main, they’re both friendzoned by their oldest bestie. The spark lights a fire that lasts at least the night, IF U KNOW WHAT I MEAN (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵) 3.) Asma is devastated when the Becky/Alice makeouts happen. She goes to cry in the bathroom. Ruth, who is cheering inside about Alice and Billie not hooking up any more, feels bad for her coworker and goes to check on Asma. 4.) In a moment of weakness and vulnerability, Asma and Ruth end up making out. They nearly make it to second base before they realize what a terrible idea this is. They flee the karaoke room in terror. 5.) Billie, oblivious, thinks to herself: “Hell yeah, look at my wingwoman powers! Alpha bongo wins again! :D”

Empress of Robots

I wonder what Kalshi puts odds on happening first: 1) Billie figuring out she's not straight, or 2) Billie figuring out Amber is A-G?

Harold

@QueenOfSodor: OK, how about "Bottoms Up," then?

tifani

I blame how much we’re programmed from birth that heterosexuality has to be the default. If you remove all of that influence I think something like 65% of the world is bisexual.

tifani

Yeah always tough to see people being very blasé about something that is actually a huge deal for you. We don’t know anything about how Asma’s family feels personally about homosexuality. Or even if they’re all that conservative. So not gonna make any assumptions about that until she herself says something. However from what we have seen of Asma herself she is someone who deeply values self control and discipline. And also her privacy. Alice might be her first experience having a crush on anyone let alone on a girl and she might just find the feeling of being attracted to someone to be a disconcerting experience. Alice being a girl might be making it more difficult for her personally because of her own relationship to her religion but it could also just be her not liking what attraction does to her: Alice tempts her and she doesn’t like feeling tempted. Alice distracts her and she doesn’t like being distracted. Alice just by existing has her somewhere she clearly does not want to be! She’s socializing for fucks sake! At KARAOKE! She is that “ my pussy has taken me places I wouldn’t go with a gun” meme personified.

thejeff

That's been Jennifer's thing all along. She's straight, but she's into girls sometimes like everyone is.

thejeff

@Shane Wegner: Normally I'd agree, but denial is a thing and if you're as into girls as Jennifer is you're clearly not really straight.

DramaQueen

I love Becky calling out “Billie” for allowing this nickname after insisting vemently that her name was Jennifer (and that she was a straight, boringly normal, non-geeky cheerleader, social climber who didn’t like them instead of their nerdy friend) all semester.

Tessea

*laughs* Everyone is oblivious. At least Becky is making a new friend with similar energy.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Empress of Robots I suspect Billie will figure out cold fusion before she figures out Amber is Amazi-Girl.

@DramaQueen "Billie, it makes Kit Fisto sad when you're not true to yourself." -- Kit Fisto, Billie 's shoulder angel (probably)

@Terra Bruder "I mean, there's nothing wrong with making out with a few of your girlfriends every so often. I usually save that for seasonal yoga retreats, myself. Usually. I mean, sometimes Aunt Becky shows up in a new set of yoga pants and I help her get the fit right on them, but that's it's own thing. It's just how people are, dear."

5099 5618 v2.0

@Terra Bruder Oh god... Do you think this might be Joyce's mom's take on all this when Joyce finally talks to her about Dorothy? Just dismissive non-chalance. "Kid, girls just make out, sometimes. It's not a big deal; even the Bible says so. Figured you and Becky were that kind of close for at least part of high school, myself. Your father used to poke me about us both having a thing for redheads, given how close me and Aunt Vicki were back when we first met at that Disturbed concert in '98. "Oh, right. You don't remember Aunt Vicki. Well, she doesn't go to our church, anymore. She got married to a lady in '08 and that didn't go over well. Shame, really."

Maude Reads Things

Meanwhile poor Asma is over there going 'oh no she's hot' while listening to a song with annoyingly relevant lyrics

the closet is made of glass (or maybe a two-way mirror)
