01-06-17 Omigosh band hug

[Spidrift]

That is a very nice pic of Sonya in Panel 1, being tender. I don't know if there's enough drama or denial or breathing room for Sonya & Zii to actually have a great relationship, but Sonya certainly looks more caring there than in any other strip I can remember. It is sort of creepy in some respects, since she's normally anything but.

I persist in thinking that Sonya is at heart a decent, well-rounded, possibly even intelligent human being, who's just never let herself develop properly. She's perfectly capable of being sweetly tender - she's just had too much fun lately being crazy and dangerous.

I wonder if the hate-sex Sonya & Yuki had was a transference of Sonya's anger/repressed love for Zii. Hence another good reason why Sonya used the 'bitch' word last strip. Sonya probably knows that Yuki was an ex of Zii's, so it would be like being with someone Zii's been with before. I'm sure Kiley could piece a psych profile around that, and most likely would have had she known about Yuki's past with Zii and Sonya's infatuation with Zii. I'm not too sure why Yuki was also gonzo for the hate-sex though, apart from the fierce competition over Gary & Zii they shared. Just a thought.

Honestly, I think that's over-thinking. Sonya and Yuki simply both have far too much taste for drama; Sonya's an adrenalin junky, Yuki thinks life is like a stack of manga (and she's the star). They each just fed the other's mental aberrations a little too well.

No good deed goes unpunished, Sonya. Four lovely expressions on her face there, actually. Still, we once again see that the band has a weird kind of internal solidity, regardless of the way that their personality conflicts are titanic in scope.

Now, nobody tell Izz about the original problem. It looks like Sonya and Yuki are handling it relatively rationally, but we don't know what Izz might do to someone who both hurt Zii and was the target of Zii's interest.

I think DiDi could handle her easily enough.

But could Gary? Based on his previous experiences with crazy women, I fear for him.

Zii, all miserable because Didi and Gary supposedly found some love together, is now surrounded by three girls who would gladly give her that love. I some how doubt however, that she will realize how dumb she's been.

[Spidrift]

Note that, by that logic, Zii's problem is that she has some sort of feelings for DiDi and Gary, but she thinks she can't have them - and she isn't just relieving her pain by indulging in meaningless sex with someone else. That's actually mature of her, technically speaking. And it puts her ahead of Matt.

As to Izz vs. DiDi - well, Izz might do some damage with a surprise attack. And even if DiDi just crushed Izz like a bug, that'd be kind of harsh insofar as Izz is just young and stupid rather than evil.

AWWWWWW!!!

To be fair, all three of those girls are batshit crazy in one way or another, and no sane individual should sleep with any of them.

[Spidrift]

If batshit craziness prevented people from having sex in the Ma3 universe, humanity would die out.

Hugs go "Glomp"?

Of course they do.

We once even had someone who drew a Glomp Incarnation, it was a fuzzy, beatifically smiling pink cloud...
