Re: 01-02-18 Communication non verbale
For Didi's communication, flashing her cleavage or her massive boobs is beyond simple punctuation. It is the entire sentence. She is used to people wanting her for so long... combined with her ability to dump previous partners without much pain... combined with people just simply liking her (or taking pity on her mayhaps?)... that her verbal skills were never really necessary. I'm not defending her, just pointing it out.
It is hard to say 'no' when she just places it all out there for everyone to see. She is a show-stopper. I expect she realizes this, as she used her boobs to notorious effect to stop Kiley's speeches as well as just generally get her way with most of the males in the strip's cast. I'd believe she is naive, but I wouldn't call her innocent in her using her body (language) to get her way.
I'm curious on the 'hows' to Didi & Zii's (more-than-likely) break up. Zii is starting to get back into her cat-like mode and Didi is becoming even more saccharine & whiny going through orgasm withdrawal. I'd expect Roxie's communication examples to be taken as more literal to Didi (or she will react similarly). Perhaps Didi will realize that she can 'kayfabe' a relationship enough for her to get an orgasm.

Re: 01-02-18 Communication non verbale
Huh huh huh.
And thus, the fall of Roxy begins... that blush in panel 4 is the first crack in the walls...
I told you, 3 months of sexual frustration can make anyone vulnerable...
"Roxy is irritated by Didi" they said... lol, Roxy is irritated by *everybody*, Brandy & Damien & Tess & Maura & everyone she ever interacted with, that's just her temper... "Roxy is impervious to Didi's charm" they said... well gee look at her in a panicky fluster in panel 4...
I dare guess that Annie will come to Didi quite soon... cuz, after receiving Maura's next report telling that Didi has bagged yet another gf, Annie will go "AAAH COMPETITION IS MULTIPLYING GOTTA MAKE MY MOVE NOW!" or something like that, lolol......

Re: 01-02-18 Communication non verbale
I'm not denying that they (the creative team) are setting Roxie up for some Didi frustration (sexual and/or normal).
Roxie could also just be more tasteful than Didi, and not wanting Didi to flash the world her tits. Roxie has been shown to be understandably shy/nervous when eyes are looking her way and she is in a situation she has little control over (like when Didi was crying at the gym) and it puts her in an uncomfortable place.
Roxie likes sex, and assumingly likes sexiness. She is just much more reserved than the majority of the characters in this comic. I assume that monogamy is a big turn on to her, but we don't really know what she wants from a partner.

Eesh. I used to be so fond of Didi as a character. Now I actively loathe her.

Plenty of people get flustered at the sight of a topless torso/naked body; it doesn't automatically mean there's sexual arousal. It could just be normal embarrassment.
Please, don't come to me expecting me to fix your problems.

*sighs*
How much longer are we going to have to endure Didi and the wrestling plot? I'm now wondering if it's a better idea to just drop the comic until it wraps up and then archive binge the last 100 strips.

Re: 01-02-18 Communication non verbale
Well, the preceding strip established that Roxie is punch-the-wall-frustrated, and this is DiDi. There’s probably a twist of sexual arousal in there, without Roxie actually wanting to jump DiDi’s bones. It’s likely more a matter of “Damnit, Do. Not. Make. Me. Think. Of. Sex.” Because topless DiDi could make a brick wall think of sex.

Re: 01-02-18 Communication non verbale
My take on that is not the Didi effect, if Sonya showed up and did exactly what Didi did, Roxie would've blushed too...Fairy Glade's Fairy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 2:23 amHuh huh huh.

Re: 01-02-18 Communication non verbale
Well, she is full of pent-up sexual frustration -- so I'd say we can safely guess that any gorgeous sexbomb (Sonya, Amber, whoever) would indeed make a big impression and have a strong effect on her.

Once more, we have to deal with relativistic effects in the presence of neutron-star dense matter.
These panels - especially 1 - again remind me why I think DiDi is a female version of Drax the Destroyer.

Hey, now. Drax isn't dense.
He's just very literal.

Considering how much punishment he can take, I'm pretty sure he's very dense.

Original comics Drax, de-powered comics Drax, or wimpy movie Drax?
