They deserve to have the heads explode after 1)forcing him to go to therapy because of Joyce, and 2)treating his singleness as a bad thing. They are as bad dumb as Amber’s mom, and as bigoted as Linda and Carol.
It was obviously Joyce’s fault that Dorothy broke up with him.
Fasuhn
I’d guess that it’s a storyline from Roomies, since I don’t think Danny has ever been to therapy (and has barely interacted with Joyce at all) in this continuity.
I mean both “baby girl” and “foxy mama” are better than calling her “sloppy seconds” (which is (a) a really gross way to refer to somebody; (b) a ridiculously inaccurate way to refer to somebody you have never and might not ever get intimate with; (c) did I mention that reducing somebody to a receptacle for ejaculate is disgusting, dehumanising, sickening, insulting, and just plain terrible? And (d) slut-shaming a supposed friend who you know struggles with people projecting their expectations onto is really nasty (also completely uncalled for but even if she were a female Joe it wouldn’t be acceptable)) but yeah, I can see why – based on what she knows of him and coupled with him also laughing and apologising – she could see it as almost charming…
My opinion of Danny really plummeted with that comment though. If, when he’s angry enough, misogynistic bullcrap spills out of his mouth, that means it’s in him to start off with. Also he’s angry with Walky and possibly his exes so he decides that trying to seduce his female twin while mentally reducing her to a vagina makes sense?? Messed up.
Not purely by their worst moments, but they are a part of who you are. I mean Carol is not always trying to bail the person who threatened both his own and her own daughter with a gun out of jail saying if he could be jail for simply threatening them with a gun it could happen to any of them. But the fact that threatening her children with a gun is apparently an option she wanted to keep open changes how I see the potential risk of telling her about Jocelyn.
Ron
I agree. I do think Danny has shown good intentions in a number of situations up until now and he had quite the nasty revelation just before now. I don’t blame him for being a bit of an a-hole as a result as long as it’s just a temporary hiccup which this clearly is.
I suspect it’s more that he used a common metaphor without considering the origins or implications than that he was actually mentally reduciner her to a vagina. Worth pointing out to him how it sounds, but it doesn’t have to be some deep insight into how he really sees women.
Yes, I think Danny just used a common expression without thinking. I think if someone were to point out the implication, he’d be appalled and wouldn’t use it again. He doesn’t appear to be the type of person who only values women for one thing. I also think he might’ve picked up unfortunate ways of speaking from Joe.
Hmm, I didn’t read it that way at all. I figured he was just using that phrase in the sense of, “these are people I’ve dated who are now seeing other people” and not in the sense of “they’re garbage now that they’re not with me”. It sounded fairly harmless in this context, to me. As for Sal, pretty sure he thinks he’s not cool enough to get with her. He’s pulling a stunt here because he’s feeling frustrated and ridiculous, but I don’t think he expected anything to come of it. I mean, look how surprised he is in that last panel here. Just my two cents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He’s only just gotten into the Bard class, it’ll take a bit for him to properly learn how to seduce every problem he comes across. But you gotta admit, he’s starting surprisingly well, even if it is accidentally…
Sure, but you’re probably not doing it after declaring you want to bang them because you’re pissy their brother is dating your ex and you’re pretty sure their brother won’t bang them? And referring to them as ‘sloppy seconds’.
SillyGoose
I’m assuming he actually just felt like seeing her anyway.
But since he started thinking about how Walky ends up falling for his exes at the same time, the thoughts just kind of collided.
And then he said/implied something stupid, but I don’t think there was an actual plan to seduce Sal to get back at Walky.
That said, “sloppy seconds”? Come on Danny, you’re a better egg than that.
BBCC
It’s the line ‘Let’s see him scarf up these next sloppy seconds’ makes it sound like that was exactly his plan to me.
SillyGoose
Yeah, I might be overly optimistic, I’m just thinking that it’s one of these things people say but don’t mean.
Thank you. I low key project onto these two bc most of my closest friends are guys. The shipping comments give me ‘Nam flashbacks to high school and everyone’s straight nonesense

Oh thank God, Ok people crises averted. It seemed like sitting down and laughing it off gave Danny enough time to catch himself.

Danny’s a good egg, just slightly cracked.

So it’s just oozing out slightly then?

Okay, I fully buy that the only way Danny could be a ladies man is if he’s so dorky he somehow shoots the moon.

Works for me. The Dao of Dorky has served me well.

They should get married, that would be cute

I love that idea if only to see his parents’ heads explode.

When did Danny have to go to therapy because of Joyce?

I’m glad we won’t have to see that train wreck Danny was working on. Joyce has us covered there all by herself.

Looks like Joyce won this round of “who’s being more stupid.”

I’m not sure I’d call that “winning”.

Okay, this turned out soooo much better and more adorable than I could have hoped for. That’s a big smile from me.

Jay
I dont think thats the plan at all. I think it was a red herring for the joke
Lexi
I feel like the “Sloppy seconds” comment was more directed at Walky than at Sal.
Ron
I don’t think you should measure people by their worst moments. That way we’re all terrible (and, also, vampires).

Just wait until he figures out Countersong.

Did it REALLY though, Sal? 😛
And oh thank god, hopefully whatever the hell possessed Danny two seconds ago has vacated his body and won’t be back.
Clif
She did say almost.
Vukodlak
She laughed and not in an insulting kind of way so she lied it did go around to charming.
bon
i dont think anything possesed him. I think these two are friends and he did the over-the-top flirting as a joke/psuedo flirt.
i’ve done it to my friends- most of whom I do think are pretty nice looking, i think?
BBCC
Sure, but you’re probably not doing it after declaring you want to bang them because you’re pissy their brother is dating your ex and you’re pretty sure their brother won’t bang them? And referring to them as ‘sloppy seconds’.

Goddammit, Danny, you’re hard to love but you’re harder to hate. I’m endeared against my will!

That’s our Danny!
*laugh track, applause*
But really Danny, stahp.

Remember kids, neither of them have ever actually shown any attraction to the other.
It’s a cute friendship is all and I’m all for that.
Newllend(henryvolt)
Well the first time the two of them met he confused her for his other love interest…..does that count for anything or does it subtract?
Diner Kinetic
Also in fairness, Amber thought there was something between them. But in double fairness, IDK if that adds or subtracts, either
