WUXTRY WUXTRY READ ALL ABOUT IT! SUSPICIONS OF DOA READERS CONFIRMED! DANNY AND DOTTY MADE BEAST WITH TWO BACKS! WUXTRY!
Robert
To be fair, it was never confirmed that they actually had sex before. Danny only said it took him two years to get into her pants. Who knows, maybe he was just looking for his car keys and thought “What the hell…I searched everywhere else.”
I originally picked up on it because Danny says he’s had several girlfriends while his character description said that Dorothy was his first, but now I get to use it to show that we already knew Danny and Dorothy had premarital hanky panky.
Makes sense enough. I know my later relationships moved fast because, well, everyone involved was more experienced and knew what they were doing. (Which at least applies to Dorothy.) Having sex for YOUR first time is tough, but afterward it can seem very normal.
It’s understandable. His long time girlfriend is moving on faster than him. Even though he’s moved on, she’s already been dating a new guy for a week and he feels a little betrayed.
Andiemus
Understandable, but still douchey of him to bongo about how long it took to get in her pants.
ArkhamTexan
Yeah, and she’s there after saying she’d stay away from him to keep from hurting him and then trying to steal his shoes for her new guy. She’s opening herself up to this line of inquiry. Danny should just tell her to leave because the flip side of this coin is that Danny don’t owe her a goddam. Thing.
Niblik
This.
Dorothy is waaaaaaaaaaay out of line trying this stunt. She should know better.
Danny, stop talking and kick her out. Walky is a big boy, he can buy new shoes.
Andiemus
The whole “are you sleeping with him” thing is unnecessary. If he had just said “hell no, you are my ex and he is your new guy, GTFO” that’d be totally fine. But no. He goes adn asks a series of questions that he KNOWS he won’t like the answer to, pisses about how long it took to get her to sleep with him (presumably her first time), refers to Walky in a derogatory way when Walky’s only crime was liking the same girl Danny does. I don’t like Dorothy coming over and getting involved either but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s being a little bongo.
Rheios
Well he IS being gripey, but that’s not shocking really. I mean, who hasn’t lashed out, even at someone they really care about, when they’re mad. Especially if the source of the discomfort and anger IS the person cared about. Ya get over it, but NEVER before it makes you look like an ass. (Depending upon things such as distance maintained, time between visits, how MUCH of whatever irritating thing you know about the other Person doing and its potential pitfalls, probably other things I can’t think of.)
Rheios
*Doesn’t make it right, but it does make it completely understandable, and I’d say expected really.
adius
well i think he gets a bye considering it was his turn to say the punchline. Needing to deliver a punchline can make you sound a lot worse than that, just see Everybody Loves Raymond.
2 HIGH SCHOOL years. Not exactly the same thing, especially since there were likely plenty of people attending their high school nowhere near as far from proper Male Virility characteristics as Danny who still haven’t gotten in anybody’s shorts as of yet.
He’s also forgetting the double-standard concerning 4-Year College Freshmen sex lives, since I’m pretty confident if Walky were an upperclassman, it still wouldn’t have been enough for him not to feel shit that justifies being a whiny little bongo about all this. Also, there’s the matter of the one valid thing Dorothy actually should feel bad about, expecting him to bail out the guy he lost her to after so little time, and it doesn’t seem to bother him one bit, beyond the atypical timing of the problem. Dorothy failing to stay in line with his tiny perspective of what he understands, or thinks he does, about love, women, and “what’s RIGHT!,” however, that’s what he seems to be finding wrong with this picture.
IMO, 2 years in high school is a way bigger deal than 2 years as an adult. 2 years to a teenager feels like eternity and is much more significant to them than it does to an adult. And they were actually together for 3 years if I remember correctly, which is a pretty big deal. I find it amazing that any teenager could hold a steady relationship for 3 years without one or both of them screwing it up by being, ya’ know, teenagers and looking at other people, just being careless, etc. I can’t blame Danny at all. She has her new boyfriend hitting him up for shoes after she just dumped him a few weeks ago. He has every right to be pissed. He only went to that school for her and has basically been made to feel like shit since. She dumps him on the first day of school with a lame excuse about not being able to make time or a boyfriend because of her big plans, and here she is fricking off with Walky. I admit, I ship Walky & Dorothy hard, and Danny & Amber even harder. BUT, Danny has every right to be pissed for how she is treating him. Toss me aside after I rearrange my life for you, but the second you need help for your new squeeze, you come running to me? He has every right to be uber pissed.
fit-to-freak
She didn’t want or ask him to rearrange his life for her. She probably would have preferred if he didn’t. She owes him shit.
DudeMyDadOwnsADealership
He has every right to be pissed about her hitting him up for shoes for the sake of her new boyfriend that she knows he would be better off not finding out about.
The thing of it IS, that doesn’t seem to be what he’s pissed about at all.
Dorothy isn’t exactly doing a good job of not encouraging him, but that may be a reason they were an item in the first place….
That’s the main point, regardless of our interpretations, that Dorothy knew that this was going to hurt him, and if you know you’re going to hurt someone maybe you should hold-back. Danny brought up the reason he broke up with her a few pages ago, and despite her going against her reasons it would’ve been nicer to wait a few more weeks, at least out of respect for the death of the relationship, and especially if you’re the dumper and not the dumpee.
My compassion for Danny conflicts with my desire to further ship Walky and Dorothy.
This exactly. It would make a lot of sense that, now they’re adults and in college, things would move more quickly because they’re overall a bit more mature and comfortable with these things.
This was my reaction. Danny take note, add “complaining about how long it took for them to put out” to the growing list of things that ladies do not find endearing.
Also to the list of reasons why not still being a virgin is something he should be very grateful for. It’s not like the internet didn’t give him an alternative to a Playboy or Sears catalog while dealing with the urges growing up.
If this were in any other context I’d be way be more pissed off at Danny’s behavior because he really has no right to judge Dorothy at all but I can very easily see how this whole thing comes off as incredibly hurtful on Dorothy’s part so he has a right to be as pissed as he wants right now. That being said I think he will end up giving her the shoes.
As hesitant as I am to say that a girl might be “asking for” something, I think she really shouldn’t have expected any other response from him. She quite literally brought her new boyfriend to his door to ask him for a favor. The nerve of that alone would probably provoke me to say something similar.
Discussion (179) - “Band-Aid”
Wonder Wig
Oh good, then he can rebound with Sal on the way down.
Yotomoe
But he doesn’t know she’s amazi-girl, yet.
Wonder Wig
I thought Rosebud was Amazi-Girl.
Geegles
Snape killed Amazi-Girl.
AckAckAck
Spoiler!
DaJoshMaster
No, it’s a conspiracy!
Snape IS Amazi-Girl!!
Noel Schornhorst
Now I should totally do fan-art of this…
DaJoshMaster
YES!
…also: Chest Windows!
Led
Wait so who is Dumbledore? Spidercar?
fatemaster1
Dead.
TheGrammarLegionary
Snape’s father.
Crimson Doom
River Song is Amazi-Girl?
RandomPerson12
No, River Song AND Snape are Amazi-Girl.
shadowsneakz
So is River Song Snape?
Rognik
Hard to rebound when he never hooked up with her in this universe. Still, him and badass Sal might make an interesting pairing.
Tapio Peltonen
I’d ship this.
Niblik
I second the motion!
RandomPerson12
I doubt that this is grammatically correct, but I third the notion.
Doctor_Who
Okay, so Danny & Dotty did do the horizontal tango. I’d been wondering, and wasn’t sure if it was ever confirmed.
Aizat
I’m guessing they did it once.
Plasma Mongoose
I also wondered if they ever bumped uglies or not within that time.
If she does end up doing it with Walky a lot sooner, I guess it proves that she likes caramel over vanilla.
Yotomoe
Who doesn’t?
Rognik
Well, vanilla is a fine flavour. Besides, caramel is quite a bit chewy.
Plasma Mongoose
In that case, Dotty’s mouth will get a serious workout then. 😀
Yotomoe
A caramel-vanilla swirl?
Plasma Mongoose
The flavour really hits you.
Rex Hondo
…In the eye, if you’re not careful.
Aizat
Or in the nuts, if you’re really not careful.
Andiemus
And gets stuck in your teeth. Oh god, this just went somewhere awful.
Rex Hondo
And don’t forget, the best caramel usually has a bit of saltiness to it. Yum.
Arkadi
Do you really have to say that with such a creepy face??
Yotomoe
Danny and Dotty Confirmed for Sex!

Yup, this totally confirms it. They did the sideways samba.

Reading through the first book last weekend, I noticed this strip:
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/05-media-rumble/screening/
I originally picked up on it because Danny says he’s had several girlfriends while his character description said that Dorothy was his first, but now I get to use it to show that we already knew Danny and Dorothy had premarital hanky panky.
No, I’m not proud.
NerdHerder
Wait, I thought they were…
NerdHerder
Oh, awkward picture.
Yotomoe
I honestly can’t imagine Danny “trying” to get in anyone’s pants.
Plasma Mongoose
He does have that wet blanket feel to his persona.
Rowen Morland
This just shows how out of his zone this conversation is making him.
Yotomoe
Don’t let him into his zone, don’t let him into his zone.
BoxWhatBox
Yeah… that sounds about the right progression for a girl…
Aizat
Wait, 2 years? And Walky got in bed in her in a few days?
Dr. Bolty
Makes sense enough. I know my later relationships moved fast because, well, everyone involved was more experienced and knew what they were doing. (Which at least applies to Dorothy.) Having sex for YOUR first time is tough, but afterward it can seem very normal.
…oh and MAN Danny is coming across as awful now.
Yotomoe
It’s understandable. His long time girlfriend is moving on faster than him. Even though he’s moved on, she’s already been dating a new guy for a week and he feels a little betrayed.

Historyman68
Keep in mind, he did turn down sex with Billie last week
Yotomoe
Wasn’t that because of Amber, though? not Dotty.

True that!

He didn’t lose her to him. She dumped him.
Then she got a new boyfriend.
