No no Joyce is Aang. Rather oblivious but learning and has a very idealized world view and thinks talking solves everything (except for sexual perversion which is solved by face-punches). Also very reliant on what she was taught as a child.

and when she finally goes all levitating and glowy-eyed (or whatever the equivalent is here), she’s going to be effin’ terrifying.

The equivalent is that face she made when she decided to start punching Joe in the face.

And when she was getting Walky and Dorothy back together.

What? Gravatar update?

Did you capitalize your email differently? That affects the hash function.
I don’t think it’s a gravatar update because I’m still Sarah.

My God, it’s actually scary how well that fits. I guess that means Danny is Mei….. Ya, Mei got the short end on this one.
I’d’ve called them ‘BELCHY’, because of how they met. Still, I’d wonder if it’s the best ship. They’re too similar, personality-wise. I’m still rooting for ‘DORKY’.
(checks calculations) Hmmm….yes, her Ensemble Darkhorse rating is now up to over 600 milliUrkels (or 4.5 Fonzarellis, if you aren’t on the metric system).
Agreed. Becky, while totally gross, is also fabulous for out-burping Walky. (She made his hoodie strings sway in the breeze from her burp. That is hard to top.)
I don’t think that was from the breeze. Walky never expected that his mating call would be answered — he thought he was alone — and he flinched.
saltchocolate
Ha!
sps48
Nope. If Walky was flinching away from the burp, the hoodie strings would trail behind, not lead the way.
Note his hair. Walky, his hoodiestring,, and his hair are all being blasted away by the force of Becky’s burp!
After her last conversation with Joyce, she realized that Joyce was getting everything that Becky wanted: a life independent of her parents and her upbringing, with no religious shame or compunctions.
Becky doesn’t know how conflicted Joyce is feeling. Joyce, being her lovely oblivious self, doesn’t realize that Becky feels trapped in the life that brought her so much comfort as a child. That’s the next bit of drama between the two of them.

From her reaction, I think that makes Joyce Sokka

Dorothy is clearly Katara.

Walky and Aang are already quite similar.
Mary could be Azula. Mike is Zuko.
Blaine for Fire Lord?

Azula is way too awesome to be comparable to Mary in any way.

Azula >>> Mary

no, Sarah is Mei, becouse she hates everybody

The Willis test: do two characters talk long enough to be shipped? (and if they don’t, is that going to stop any of us?)
Plasma Mongoose
They don’t even need to have even been in the same comic strip together for them to be shipped.

I KNOW, RIGHT?!

that ship name just screams for this pairing to work, it’s great
becky transfers to IU, makeouts happen, Joyce and Dotty are all over the emotional map

I don’t know about Joyce, but I’m sure there are plenty of other male virgins for Dorothy to break in…
Deanatay
Actually, I’d’ve gone with ‘BELCHY’.
Yotomoe
I ship them harder in one strip than I’ve shipped Walky and Dorothy in like…3 years.
NoHeart
I’m with ya on that
MrSirk
I’d ship them but I feel the relationship would be nothing but bodily functions….I ship it anyway.

their ship is a garbage scow

I get the impression Becky has a few more of her sharp corners rounded off than Joyce does. ^_^

this non-pun reminds me of the play “The Drowsy Chaperone”

Funny, my sister was just in that play at school a couple months ago. What did it remind you of exactly?

I’m really liking Becky, guys.

Becky best girl.
Distrustful Guy
Nah I don’t trust her. She got hella secret or something. Very strong religious upbringing, travels across the country on a whim?
I don’t understand it but I have a feeling Sarah will.
Ducky
It’s kind of obvious – she’s running away.
After her last conversation with Joyce, she realized that Joyce was getting everything that Becky wanted: a life independent of her parents and her upbringing, with no religious shame or compunctions.

Yay, getting back to Joyce and Becky! If we did have to leave Ruth and Billie, that was where I was hoping the story would turn.
Anyway…
The Great “Help Yotsuyasan Choose A New Gravatar” of 2014:
The Epic and Disturbing Conclusion!
As of 11:00 p.m. yesterday, the votes (as counted by me) were as follows:
Option #1 (Ruth): 4
Option #2 (Yotsuyasan): 3
Option #3 (Blaine as The Joker): 14
And so the winner, because the internet is full of horrible people (including myself for presenting as an option in the first place), is…
Blaine!!!
So, from now on, whenever I post a comment, you will all get to enjoy that face smiling out at you!
I hope you are all happy, internet. I hope you are happy.
