Amazing how Garbage Roof is serving as the breakthrough Amber needed to realize Amazi-Girl is a fictional character and not an actual person. Revealing herself as one in the same to Walky is amazing progress in a short time.

DID alters and fictional characters are not quite the same thing.
SgtWadeyWilson
Umm… Amber is also a fictional character…
HeySo
Yes, but let her deal with one dramatic psychological reveal at a time, okay?
EvilMidnightLurker
To paraphrase Slappy Squirrel, “Don’t tell her. She might snap.”
thejeff
I’m not at all sure that’s what’s happening here. Besides, as BBCC says, fictional not really being the case, I’m not sure what breakthrough you think you’re seeing.
I’unno, your current butt is pretty butty. I’d definitely say it’s buttier than your last butt – which would make it the buttiest of the two, at least.
She doesn’t want to care – she’s got enough issues rattling around inside her head already – but if he’s blood, she’d feel obligated to do something. She can safely not think about a step-brother.
Amber and Faz are confirmed blood siblings over in the Walkyverse. Willis has gone on record as the only things changing between universes are ages and lack of alien shenanigans. Therefore, Amber and Faz are blood siblings here, too. And it was strongly implied over in Shortpacked! that Faz’s mother was rather younger than Blaine, this confirms it.
There was a bit of angst from Amber when she learned of her relation to Faz, because Faz grew up without a father figure and was on record as wondering what his father was like, while Amber knew his father was, well, Blaine, and she didn’t think Faz (annoying as she found him) deserved that kind of father.
“He changed his mind” is a valid reason for the relationship being other than what is stated in comic. “Because Walkyverse” does not hold as much in the way of a counter argument.

Whelp, looks like my info’s out of date, then. I don’t follow the tumblr, so I didn’t know about this post. Last post I saw stated that the only changes were the ones I mentioned previously. Looks like my ability to remember minute and obscure details about stories I’ve read will no longer aid me in figuring out what’s going to happen here. Darn.
(Okay that quote’s just wrong out of context. For the record he was overruling Frank Burns so Hawkeye could let a priestess perform an exorcism on the OR so he could operate on an elderly man who got hit by a truck.)
The Word of Willis is clearly the more important information here, but reading this I did notice that Faz doesn’t have black hair (Like Dina, Joe, and Billie), but rather dark brown hair. Check out the color where it catches the light – brown, rather than grey as with the previously mentioned characters. Hard to tell from the shots we’ve seen whether his mother shares that particular trait.
I think she means just relating to him more and treating him more like a friend than a nuisance.
Maybe actually caring about his wellbeing even when he’s not physically in front of him and she feels responsible for him.
He’s already pretty much there with Toedad Ross as it is. I guess Ryan’s still top tier twit, if only by virtue of the fact several others came forward, even beyond Joyce, who I am not sure if she came forward or not, it’s been a bit so I don’t remember.
Age of consent is 16 in Indiana, so having sex with a teenager isn’t necessarily statutory rape. Considering the age difference, it’s still pretty skeevy, but not technically illegal.
I’d say the odds are up there that he’s cheating on Yuri, too, but that – even if she knows – she feels the need to stay with him “for her son’s sake” or something.
Well, he had to be cheating on her because he was still sleeping with Amber’s mom presumably.
HeySo
It only counts as cheating on her if she wasn’t aware the other relationship existed when they were together.
geno
Hey So that sounds super victim blamey
Terry
Lets modify that as “not cheating if she was aware of it and ok with it.” And Geno, I get where you are coming from, but I believe we can make a distinction between “not cheating” and “not horrible.” You can still do a lot of bad things in a relationship that isn’t cheating. Like taking advantage of a naive young woman by not fully talking about situations in open and honest discussions to prevent her from being hurt in the long run because you care about your own gratification and not about the people you are in relationships with. It’s not cheating if she (without being coerced) told him it was ok. Open relationships can work, but Blaine hasn’t shown enough care about other people to be able to do it successfully, so if she agreed to it, Yuri would probably later regret that choice and want to take it back. Though she may not feel secure enough to have that conversation or may be deluding herself into the believe that when he divorced his ex-wife, it stopped happening.
thejeff
Given that she was likely a teenager when it started, that he’s a known emotional abuser and that he has mob connections, she’s likely very dependent on him and doesn’t have a lot of say in the matter.
As you suggest though, I’d guess Blaine wouldn’t exactly be open and honest about pretty much anything.

Faz is the goodest boy. Faz has the chart to prove this, as well as a chart showing a correlation between goodness and genital size.

The big mystery is, why do the lines wind up Texas-shaped?

Because nobody can beat Texas. It’s untouchable.

That is also the main reason for the development of the Glaswegian martial art of Icky Thump.

Ecky Thump is the Lancastrian martial art of beating people with black puddings, as seen on ‘The Goodies’.

Boy, Amber and Ruth should really compare notes.
Callid13
That was my thought, too. Their familiar situations are eerily similar, except maybe that Faz is treated somewhat better, from what we can tell.
Pablo360
He was treated so well he ran away to Indiana University to spend time with someone who treats him like actual garbage.

This would explain some of her attitude earlier when Sarah brought up Yuri’s age.
Mr. Random
Would you really feel better if he was a non-blood relative?
DailyBrad
I think at this point, not really, no. She doesn’t like Faz still, but she obviously cares about him to an extent
C.T Phipps
Amber wants desperately to shove people away but people keep insisting on loving her.

She doesn’t want to care – she’s got enough issues rattling around inside her head already – but if he’s blood, she’d feel obligated to do something. She can safely not think about a step-brother.

Though she isn’t feeling it yet, seems like she’s making progress.

So if Blaine’s the shittiest shit and Amber’s worried she’s half him then she’s what? Half a shit? The half a shit that people don’t give?

Well, she’s a violent glasses wearing bully. It’s just her victims are rapists and child abusers–so….progress?

How is it confirmed?
Amber says that it is not impossible, therefore it’s true?

Hi. Willis has also gone on record as saying Amber is Blaine’s only bio child in this universe. So.
C.T Phipps
Willis has said in Patreon-world that he forgot that post even existed and changed his mind.
OR MAYBE I HALLUCINATED IT.

Here’s the post, just to prove it existed:

In her character model on Tumblr she has the same bluish-gray highlights as other characters with black hair (like Billie and Dina).
Are Faz and Amber related by blood after all? There’s a strong possibility of a firm maybe.
HeySo
“screwed jail bait”
Jailbait, definition: Someone viewed or interacted with in a sexual manner, but under the age of consent.
Indiana age of consent: 16
We still don’t know precisely what age Faz’s mother was when he was born, so that terminology may be imprecise by a nuance.
jeffepp
Pray, tell, how could you do any more for the kid? As you just said, he isn’t much younger than you.

I mean, seriously. Fifteen or sixteen years later, he’s still with her. That’s commitment!
Okay, so it’s probably pretty horrible for her, but people who don’t know how awful Blaine is would look on that as a mitigating circumstance.
