Given that she was basically in a suicide pact last semester and she drove her other girlfriend into a tree, it would probably come in last for doomed yuri for just Jennifer’s canon relationships.
I don’t understand that logic at all, what does greed even have anything to do with being attracted to anyone?
Sirksome
It’s very common anti-bisexual rhetoric that bi-people are greedy. They want every sexual option and thus are promiscuous and looking to steal romantic options from both sides. You’re either straight or gay, wanting more than that is selfish. It’s hard enough finding love. How dare you potentially take more from me.

I’m not stealing anybody. I’m also non-monogamous.
Daniel M Ball
I ALMOST understand that line of thinking, then I remember that emotions are not a zero-sum game with a limited resource beyond time. After which, I realize what that logic chain really is. It’s akin to Narcissism-someone whom is limited in their emotional scope assigning the same limits to others.
I know Billie is generally a jerk, but I kind of feel bad for her. She is just so messed up and so confused in so many ways all the time. She basically wonders from one disaster to the other with no conception of her own agency in her misfortunes. Its like she is playing life by completely different rules to how society and reality operates and is too stupid to figure it out. Its got to be like being a 100% sure 2+2=5 and then keep failing math. You know you’re failing but can’t figure out why so you just become more and more angry and confused.
Charles Phipps
The thing is Jennifer likes disaster and drama. The problem is she doesn’t seem to realize most people…don’t.
Thag Simmons
There’s a lot to pity about her, and I can certainly relate to doing self-destructive shit for dumb reasons, but unfortunately it is consistently really funny to watch her fail.
I’ve compared her to Wile E Coyote a few times before for a reason.
if she’s Wile E. Coyote, i wonder who’d be Acme Corp…
Doopyboop
I used to feel bad for her. And maybe I still feel a little bit bad for her. She currently has like, no real friends. Raidah’s friend group certainly doesn’t like her, and she ditched all her old ones. But there comes a certain point where someone is so self-destructive and toxic that as bad as you feel for them, it just doesn’t really… go that far anymore? Like as much as I feel for Jennifer, she literally had no reason to stir the pot with Dorothy the way she is. Especially after she tried to pull Dorothy under her wing to cheer her up, hence why Ruth is calling her out.
Needfuldoer
She’ll reboot her personality again eventually.
Sirksome
Look I don’t really like “Jennifer” over “Billie” either, but I keep noticing the narrative that she’s always the jerk in every interaction when that’s not true. Dorothy snapped at Jen first when she brought up Dorothy’s widely known desire to get into politics. Dorothy then told her to fuck off when Jen noted Dorothy isn’t doing well. Jennifer did not stir the pot here. Dorothy was the one kind of out of line. The most antagonizing thing Jen did was insult Dorothy’s cleavage.
It feels like because Jennifer in general is so unlikable now, she can’t do anything without being the bad guy.
Nerrin
She opened with a direct insult on Dorothy’s body. That’s… not nice. That’s not showing an interest. That colors everything she says afterward as antagonistic because the first thing she said was antagonistic.
thejeff
You could argue that her starting off by insulting Dorothy’s cleavage basically out of the blue set the tone for the rest of the interaction, even when the topic changed.
Doopyboop
See, Jennifer didn’t just point out that Dorothy wasn’t doing well. She was clearly saying it in a pretty mocking way. “Damn Dorothy, you really ARE unraveling. You used to keep your shit together” vs “Wow, Dorothy, you’re not acting like yourself, are you okay?”. If someone, who knew I was going through a mental health crisis of some kind (which Jennifer does since she tried taking Dorothy out to karaoke to make her feel better), started mocking me about it, you know for damn sure I’d tell them to fuck off.
Doopyboop
Whether she’s likable or not, I’m able to read the comic pages. At no point in these strips has she been un-antagonistic. Even her relaying she and Dorothy both knew Amazi-girl’s true identity was delivered in a very weird, antagonistic way. She insulted Dorothy’s boobs. She’s insulting Dorothy’s mental health crisis. If you’re really trying to argue that saying to someone having a breakdown’s face “you used to keep your shit together” ISN’T out of line, then I have nothing more to say on the subject. But I’m not going to condemn Jennifer for just existing in a strip. I don’t do that for any of the characters. Not even Raidah, who I actually hate.
WAIT! Did Jenifer get turned on and or jealous when she saw Dorothy’s down shirt pick and that’s why she sent her own pick (to undermine Dorothy’s flirting by sending a different woman’s cleavage) and then proceed to bully flirt with Dorothy???
Oh what’s the matter Ruth are you jealous Jennifer was going to start another Lesbian suicide pact with someone else?
For real though I still say if Dorothy was having this crisis several months sooner she probably would have the opportunity to be Ruthe & Billies 3rd, all she would need to do is commit to what the younger ones these days call…”Crashing out.”
That was the part of the comment that was supposed to be a joke, but yes.
I feel like this is a good opportunity to drop that one hit song that’s been floating around this year though, what was it called?…”Good luck babe?” I know one if these two would be to playing this on loop.
Jennifer is firmly in Asuka territory: She needs 15 hugs and twice as many hours of therapy-per-week, but I want to be on any other continent until she gets the help she so desperately needs.
Also, I am learning to hate this site. I have a poor internet connection, but of all the sites I visit this is the one that fucks up the most and leaves me the most frustrated.
I am sorry to hear that. This site is defiantly one of the more temperamental ones I have come across.
Weirdly, I feel like trying to use this site is probably a lot like what life is like for Billie. She wants the fun cute story about friendship and college romance, but her hardware isn’t everything it probably should be and things keep functioning by rules she doesn’t quite understand. Therefore, she gets frustrated and tries to either brute force her way through or keeps coming up with hurried, half-baked plans to get what she wants. Of course, neither of those paths ever work out because she doesn’t really understand the underlying logic everybody is working with.

How come my peanut butter comes in either smooth or extra crunchy, but I never can find the just plain ordinary crunchy?
morleuca
I have a theory about this. I think there used to be, and it didn’t sell well. The smoothies didn’t want crunchy, and the crunchies liked the level of peanut inclusions of the extra crunchy better. And if they git rid of crunchy, and called extra crunchy, crunchy instead, it wouldn’t sell as well.
