I think it was Worf really into Jadzia. Y’know, topologically-speaking.

Unlike Bablylon 5’s Centauri, who have a canon documented number and at least one needed advice on ‘large numerical values’, Klingons in canon don’t have it specified one way or another. However, There have been a few things. In TNG (the one where Worf loses to a blue barrel) it is said that they’ve got redudant systems. So some people had questions. Possibly in response to that and messing with/teasing fans: In Discovery, there’s a Klingon peeing with 2 streams. Cue an even more heated internet discussion on that, complete with people explaining that (presumed) humans with them could at times produce two streams…. and so nothing official, but the common ST internet thought seems to be 2.
… and here I am talking on the internet about it, on a Webcomic’s page whose author I have followed for 2 decades, so that you all can share my horror/surprise/acceptance of the internet being used for that. Almost reminds me of irc…
Aslt least as I’ve heard the term unicorn used in this context, they’re usually a magical rarity willing to sleep with both partners in the relationship.
Decidedly Orthogonal
More generally it’s applied to finding a perfect match. See the hot/crazy matrix.
AG has shown more sapphic qualities, particularly when she seemed to have a girl crush on Sal.
Not long ago, when Dorothy was, er, floating, she was considering Amber as her totally not romantic hookup, er, hangout partner. Walky was already there, and blocked her co…, er, spoiled her mood.
Hmmm. Amber did say she needed more wang but not how much. I believe. Maybe they could pull it off. With Joyce watching in the corner this poly ship has hope!
Nope. It’s Lucy. She’s the harem protagonist now. She gets Walky after all, Dorothy in the bargain, keeps Jacob of course, gets Asher (sending Ethan back into a full goth spiral where he actually ends up with Sarah briefly as they both wallow in self-pity), and also Joe but she lets Joyce watch on the bed and get seconds.
Having stolen all boyfriends, the truck arrives. But it’s this worlds Ultra Car (Ultra Truck), and identifies as male so she steals it to. Carla is incredibly weirded out by this and doesn’t know why.
Finding a unicorn, or unicorn hunting, refers to a (usually heterosexual) couple finding a third partner, usually bi, for them both.
When it’s a couple’s specific goal, unicorn hunting is often viewed a bit negatively (because it reduces that third partner to the parts of them that fill the couple’s niche) but Booster seems ok (using the much less aggressive word “finding” a unicorn) with it here because it’s much more of an organic growth from them all knowing each other and considering the possibility of it working for the three of them as they are, rather than looking for “a unicorn” specifically.
Dante
Flawless analysis, I love it
Dante
… Also, this feels like Booster knows things. Walky and Dorothy might or might not realized those things yet, but Booster knows them. Just like they went “So all your friends are queer? :3 Fascinating” at Joyce.
DailyBrad
Maybe, though Booster is also probably being fairly sarcastic here, too.
Of course, there is an irony in what Dorothy knows about Joyce and how she has literally brought it up with Walky as a possibility, albeit maybe not entirely seriously. Additionally, Amber is (seemingly, anyway) straight, and not like Dorothy re: Joyce or Joyce re: Dorothy and Jennifer where we’ve gotten indications of sapphic tendencies. Though, Amber as far as I know hasn’t had as overt a rejection of the idea as Sal has had on multiple occasions, placing her firmly as straight.
anonymsly
Does it really matter when characters reject the idea? Joyce has multiple times and no one seems to care. (Joyce has also been obviously quite attracted, physically, to several males and yet the ‘Joyce is a full lesbian, just too dim/repressed to realize what attraction is’ thing seems alive and well.)
DailyBrad
She’s certainly not exclusively interested in women, no, demonstrably not. I am more just talking about stuff like wanting to watch Dorothy have sex, or staring repeatedly at Jennifer’s breasts, or her admiration of Sal that basically involved her making some comment about wanting to be with her “from the neck up” or something like that. She wants the D, y’see.
(Also maybe part of the running joke that Walky and Joyce are physically attracted to one another but for a variety of reasons shoot down the notion, even after times it’s been explicitly shown.)
System of Eleven
Wait, when was this? I just went through all the pair tags and can’t find anything with Booster referencing Joyce’s friend group?
Mel
It’s referring, I believe, to 4 or 5 strips back where Joyce clumsily asked if they were enjoying the party since it was all [paraphrase] cis and queer people, as far as she has heard, hang out with queer people. Booster said “Huh, I said loudly”, implying that Joyce doesn’t quite get that the room was more queer than not
Plain Marie
I learn something new every day. Not sure where I’m going to use this knowledge, but okay, maybe I’ll be a little more hip to passing references. Now I know.
My experience with dating websites as a trans lesbian has been getting contacted “exclusively” by straight women looking for a unicorn to entertain their boyfriends, so there’s several negative aspects to it.
Dday
So wait, from the context, is Booster implying they wanna BE the unicorn, or…

Alas, Amber sounded like she prefers dongs.
Techhead
Notably, Walky has one
Proxiehunter
At least one.
Hexx
Reports vary.
Michael Steamweed
Is he Klingon? I did not know!
Daibhid C
Do Klingons have multiple dongs? I know Betelgeusians do. (Well, Betelgeuse V, possibly not Betelgeuse VII.)
Bruno
They got ’em…
Casi
they got multiple dongs, and the women have multiple hoohahs
I think that’s one of the reasons Jadzia was really into Worf.

She’s not looking.
Michael Steamweed
A Dorothy/Joe/Joyce threesome would help to clarify that. Jus’ sayin’. Fer science, you see.
Dante
Shortpacked!Amber was mostly but not fully straight. I’ll keep the faith
JA
Walky has enough to share.
Dante
Dongs?!
My god.
Yumi
If you read the Slipshine, you’ll see that Walky actually has three dongs.
Schpoonman
He keeps one specifically for bouncing like Tigger’s tail.
PedanticJerkass
No, not the dongs! Not the dongs!
Michael Steamweed
Who let the dongs out?
(dorothy. it was dorothy.)

You’re right! Dingalingadingdongs.

Woop de doop
Floating? Crush on Sal? What are you going on about?
GholaHalleck
AG wouldn’t have a crush on Sal, at most she’d see her as a worthy foe.
It was because of Sal, that AG was created, so it would be like doin’ your mom.
Needfuldoer
Sal may have been the last straw, but all the other straws were Blaine’s mental abuse.
Michael Steamweed
Mike? Is that you!?
Xaeon
From the moment she was born, she knew there was only one way to stop Mike
Hazel
Store-bought is fine.
Nono
Kinda cute I guess that Walky still knows Dorothy’s class schedule despite them breaking up last semester?
Coatl
They know each other very well
Akane
They all know each other well.
Freemage
Except Lucy and Jacob, who’ve had all of two conversations together.
Akane
I think they’ll be the best couple in this group for a while.
Woop de doop
Blasphemy. Nobody can beat out Dina and Becky.
Proxiehunter
And then they went back to Lucy’s room and knew each other biblically.
Michael Steamweed
Oh gee whiz and golly! You mean they talked about Bible verses after they went back to her room? 😀
GholaHalleck
Third convo over breakfast counts as third date!
zaratustra
turns out the dates didn’t have to be all with the same person
Sirksome
Hmmm. Amber did say she needed more wang but not how much. I believe. Maybe they could pull it off. With Joyce watching in the corner this poly ship has hope!
Akane
I can see it. Dorothy’s first girlfriend could be Walky’s second ex.
Insanenoodlyguy
Nope. It’s Lucy. She’s the harem protagonist now. She gets Walky after all, Dorothy in the bargain, keeps Jacob of course, gets Asher (sending Ethan back into a full goth spiral where he actually ends up with Sarah briefly as they both wallow in self-pity), and also Joe but she lets Joyce watch on the bed and get seconds.
Having stolen all boyfriends, the truck arrives. But it’s this worlds Ultra Car (Ultra Truck), and identifies as male so she steals it to. Carla is incredibly weirded out by this and doesn’t know why.

Omg that… is the most perfect ship name that exists. For all three of them in such different ways.
Dante
Beautiful ship name, count me in. I can be here, I can be at the Dorky/Jojo 4some Supreme, I can be everywhere.
Michael Steamweed
The most layered and poetic ship name ever. It must be a thing now. Please sign the petition to Willis to produce that slippery shiny.
Xronium
better go find a unicorn! with lesbians on it (or was it a horse)
Laura
What was the unicorn reference? I did not follow or catch the meaning.
Thank you!
Dave Van Domelen
A unicorn in this context is a third person for a threesome.
Dave Van Domelen
(There’s some fine details I’m leaving out, but that’s enough to get the punchline.)
Vanessa
Ah
Vanessa
Joyce dreamt about riding a horse with Dorothy. I don’t really get what booster is talking about here though.
Yumi
To add on to the above, it usually refers to a woman who joins a man and woman couple for a threesome.
