Genuinely might be a massive problem for both of them, because even though they’ve only really been aware of it for a little over a day at most, to an outside observer it might appear like it’s been an ongoing thing for a much longer span of time
That’s a hell of a good thought — any of the cast could conceivably decide that behaviors that existed in that quantum state between “actively romantically interested in each other” and “just the best gal pals of all time” might now be considered to obviously have been in that first box.

at least they were never roommates, we can remove that box from the discussion entirely
Trying to figure a joke of those two dueling and “I’m not left handed either!”, but my mind is going back to the laundry episode. (maybe dueling masturbation…?)
Westly and Inigo Montoya, panting, sweaty, eyes locked on each other, each tightly grasping their blade.
“You are wonderful.”
“Thank you; I’ve worked hard to become so.”
“I admit it, you are better than I am.”
“Then why are you smiling?”
“Because I know something you don’t know.”
“And what is that?”
“I am not left-handed.”
*Inigo switches hands, moves faster, stronger, with more powerful strokes. Westley grits his teeth. Both begin panting hard*
“You are amazing.”
“I ought to be, after 20 years.”
“Oh, there’s something I ought to tell you.”
*whispers* “Tell me.”
“I’m not left-handed either.”
Steamweed
Yeah, that entire scene is so yaoi. Not so much yuri.
Who does a scissor shape with the middle two fingers?
Cholma
Those who also say, “Live long and prosper”? ;p
Clif
Do Vulcan’s have scissors. I thought they were more evolved than that.
Cholma
I’m sure there’s probably a sect that shuns replicators and modern tech in favor of following the teachings Surak in the same way Vulcans did in his time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Steamweed
Vulcan lore says, yes, there is such a thing. The movie Star Trek: The Motion Picture (very first ST movie!) has Spock on Vulcan, about to get inducted into such a sect, all about pure logic, when he feels the call of V’Ger. So no golconda for him, and he joins the crew.
Thag Simmons
That’s not with the just middle two fingers, that’s with all four, and it’s considerably more natural.
Cholma
I’m not sure it’s possible to move *just* the middle two fingers like that. I sure can’t. (Hell, when you think about it, a regular scissors movement is really just the forefinger moving; the middle finger just sits there.
eh, whatever
when you think about it, a regular scissors movement is really just the forefinger moving; the middle finger just sits there
Not in my case. However, moving ring finger and pinky finger independently pretty much only works when the pinky is blocked.
John Campbell
I can do both easily left-handed, but only awkwardly and painfully right-handed. I credit my guitar, though I haven’t even picked it up in years.
Wizard
Just tried, found it extremely awkward but possible.
Nymph
I think that’s just how your hand works. My middle finger moves when I do a scissor motion and I can do a scissor motion with just my two middle fingers.
BorkBorkBork
When I do a scissors motion, my forefinger and ring move the same distance apart, if not the ring finger moving slightly more.
I wonder if there’s a barely-used muscle that has to be trained?
I remember a time – middle school, probably – when I couldn’t do a Vulcan salute without taking one hand and physically separating the ring and middle fingers. After a while, I could do it with one hand, then with both hands, and now I basically can act as if the gap between my middle and ring fingers are the jaws of a crab’s claw and pick up objects. Just a lot of practice over and over.
Pergola
Individual differences. The ligaments of the hand can hook up in different ways. Some people cannot handle certain instruments without surgery.
Dot
Well see I’m thinking more along the lines of things gay women actually do
Big Z
While what you say is true, I can’t say I’ve ever seen someone casually pantomime that they way they do with the figure position Booster is using.
Nymph
I can’t tell if you’re trying to say lesbians don’t actually scissor. I also don’t know if you’re a lesbian so if you are and I’ve completely misinterpreted, please forgive the saphsplaining I’m about to do:
We definitely scissor. If you’re sapphic and you don’t scissor I highly recommend trying it out. Also there are different reasons to use different fingers and different angles. Not a one-size-fits-all situation, so really any finger at all is fine for an example of what a sapphic person might do with another sapphic person.
Dot
I am a lesbian, albeit a trans lesbian who wouldn’t normally scissor because I don’t have the equipment, and my experience within my own community is that scissoring is relatively rare; most lesbians I know go for fingering, eating out, or fucking with a strap, and maybe try scissoring once or twice before deeming it too much work for not enough reward. Obviously there’ll be differences in experience and opinion in different social circles and I’m not being particularly serious here regardless.
Big Z
I wonder if every gender/sexuality combo has a sex act that is common in porn but that is often considered entirely too much work for not enough reward in real life, because cis men have at least one common one I can think of.
Nymph
Probably, but I really disagree that scissoring is any more work than using a strap, so I think it’s definitely down to personal likes and what you get out of it rather than an over-arching opinion.
Nymph
Fair enough! I’m just very tired of the idea that “lesbians don’t actually scissor” because it’s just so untrue and I find it frustrating to have a thing I actually super enjoy portrayed generally like it’s a thing done in porn for men and for no other reason.
You weren’t portraying it that way, but that’s a super common thing I have to push back on so I wanted to gently push back here too before it went that route.
Dot
No worries, different strokes for different folks after all and as I said opinions will vary among social circles and communities.
Nymph
?
Thag Simmons
I would still have the same question, because using just the middle two fingers seems equally uncomfortable regardless of the gesture.

You fools! The very act of trying to… umm “School?” your reactions has given Booster all the insight they need to deduce all of your secrets!!!

Wait, when did Booster become Galasso?
Andrusi
…*have* we seen Galasso since Booster’s introduction?

Come to think of it, Spider-Car’s also been conspicuously absent…
Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all night.

Don’t trust blatant self insert locally published fanfic.

I meant to say slashfic but fanfic is probably sus too.
Nymph
Fanfic? More like SUSFIC.

If “susfic” isn’t a thing, it damn well should be now.

Huh. A quick googling gets me squickfic but no susfic. Ah well.

Throwatron
It honestly seems that things might be going that way, which I’m not gonna lie, is a much more interesting angle for the story to take.

It’s already been suggested to Walky that Joyce and Dorothy have been bangin’ for a week already.

They’re going to feature in Leslie’s Human Sexuality class next week.

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

That’s only because it’s meaning is imperceivable.
