I'd love to see Taeshi try to explain how that makes any sense at all.

>>152647175
The problem isn't that he doesn't know how to block a number. The problem is that he knows he'll never get away from Alejandro no matter where he runs.

>>152647194
He already fucking got away. Thug boy is no longer relevant to his life. This is stupid.

>>152647194
>killing Alejandro and burying his body in the woods arc

>>152647192
Please, everything runs on contrivance and plot convenience. It'd also set up Lucy as innocent and unknowingly let Augustus and Alejandro attack the lunch table.

In short, Augustus never stopped being a lapdog for Alejandro and was fooling everyone.

thank fucking god augustus is out of the story soon. praise be. fuck this stupid faggot character.

>>152647228
Don't you mean asexual?

>>152647228
He wouldn't be leaving until around September, in-universe. Goth boy is going nowhere anytime soon.

Taeshi tries to excuse her poor story choices on tumblr.

>>152647271
Sir, this is BCB.

>>152647280
She destroyed the entire premise of the comic. I used to be sad, but now laugh at her trying to get herself out of the corner she wrote herself into.

>>152647101
>"Finally, I'm nearly free. No more having to toady to psychos for room and board!"
The moment Lucy leaves he perks up and starts smiling instead of looking terrified. I almost have to pity someone who lives like that.

>>152647226
>It'd also set up Lucy as innocent and unknowingly let Augustus and Alejandro attack the lunch table.
I know school shootings happen but sorry I'm just picturing how absurd it'd be to have a grown ass man and his thugs just walk into the school (in a somewhat well-to-do neighborhood) and get far enough to the lunch table without security being called. My guess is that if Alejandro does come back, Augustus will either capitulate and go crawling back, or Lucy will stop him and stupidly give herself over. Because nobody does the smart thing in this comic by TALKING TO AN ADULT, Augustus will panic and tell the gang and there will be a rescue Lucy arc. You're welcome.

Not a shooting, an ambush or picking them off. I would love to see Lucy look in horror as she caused more damage than Alejandro ever did, all out of rage on not being able to take no for an answer. A perfect "oh shit" moment where Lucy becomes the same as her assailant.

>>152647320
The previous chapter already established there are no adults watching any of these fucking kids

>>152647320
I suppose it could be interesting to watch Augustus try cajoling a burnt out Mike into doing his duty as the friend he allegedly never really was.

>>152647354
I didn't mean a literal shooting would happen, just the idea of Alejandro being able to waltz into the school and it being an isolated incident that doesn't reach anyone's families is stupid even for this comic.

>>152647194
I really hope they're not going to try and push that as the story

I mean he's just about made out like a bandit and the the critical thing that is making it work is Lucy. Given she is a fucking minefield of an individual on a good day, it's not surprising he's on his toes when she is around to make sure he makes off with the jackpot.

Would be funny if Mike just hanged up on him. Let Paulo do it.

>>152647382

That'd be a Taeshi move for sure.

>>152647423
Paulo is a jobber, though. He's lost every fight he's ever had, even the ones he started. Mike's record isn't great but at least it's 50-50.

>>152647143
I really hope this isn't Augustus fearing for Alejandro to follow him to college because the idea that he attended school without a bother and lived in the same place and didn't even get caught yet surely Alejandro will find him the moment he leaves for out of Roseville is laughable
There's a good chance for him feeding Mike to Alejandro as a sort of distraction and a way to leave a partint gift to Lucy

No, anon. He'd gaslights Mike somemore into a kamikaze run cause he owes Lucy that and Mike's starved mind agrees. Now agustus gets Mike out of her life and Alej out of his. Augustus would be a great fbi informant considering how "good" he is at gaslighting teenagers.

I'd enjoy seeing it backfire on Lucy and Augustus that way. The BPDemon deserves their lackey, not the boy she abused for a decade.

Which only intensified after the letters or whatever Lucy's excuse was.

>>152647382

Yeah, there's some genuine danger there but this has all the tension of an episode of 7th Heaven lol.

>>152647576
Yup, I'm pretty sure that Lucy's strategy is to break Mike down until he can't say no- it'd make for a great setup on how she's become the same as Alejandro.

>>152647489
Maybe everyone will be better off if they just let Alejandro have Lucy. That way no-one has to job, and Lucy gets a chauvinist lover like she wants.

>>152647609
I don't get why. Mike is one of the least interesting parts of this comic; even Paisy at least has the (probably a bluff) threat of imploding from the vacuum of chemistry.

>>152647595
If you want to talk about something or someone else, be the one to stimulate discussion. Also try to not get triggered by the mention of cartoon cats.

>>152647595
Without Mike there is nothing to talk about. I'm not even joking. We aren't gonna have someone sperging about how agustus pays for college or how his ass shouldn't have ever been forgiven by the narrative due to how it treats "emotional cheating" and assault (only one way ofc).

Nothing else to really argue and bitch over unless you wanna suggest something different or post Amy stuff.

>>152647648
Nothing's really happened since last chapter, but this shit is so low stakes compared with the early comic that it's just boring.

>>152647101
Yknow what? Disregarding the attempted rape and bullying a kid into suicidal depression, I'm happy for him. Thinking you're by trapped in villainy with no way out is oppressive. A new road leading out of that life is nothing short of awesome. I say all of this cuz judging from the preview slide, something is gonna piss in his corn flakes and I'm all for it. Hope the son of a bitch gets found by Alejandro or Toby.

>>152647662
We can talk about how Amy could smother Mike with her ass and break his mind by just clapping her booty.

>>152647226
I would not be shocked if Lucy inadvertently (or with plausible deniability) sets up the lunch table to get attacked in a fucked up sense of retribution for their uselessness during Confrontation. She let Mike get shit on, and she's fucking retarded, heads over heel, for him. Sue will get fucked for far less.

>>152647700
>I would not be shocked if Lucy inadvertently (or with plausible deniability) sets up the lunch table to get attacked in a fucked up sense of retribution for their uselessness during Confrontation.
I don't think that's gonna happen, man.

>>152647648
>Mike is one of the least interesting parts of this comic
I partly agree, Mike on his own is boring, he being the main victim of Lucy's bpd is what makes people only give a shit. I mean, that's the reason why the comic became the Paulo show and Mike was pushed to side once Lucy fucked off.

>>152647595
Nobody is even as remotely interesting as Mike. Taeshit built him up so well that it's a double edged sword. He's popular and he's not. She tried to give Paulo the same treatment but it doesn't work because of his core personality of being a wet soggy bitch boy. Anytime Mike shows, discourse skyrockets. That's the kind of impact he has.

Mike being the dullest character in the main cast yet being the center of the drama is pretty standard harem protagonist stuff to be fair.

Me neither, but let me schizo post.

Damn sorry dude let's talk about something else u are right

I mean, we could discuss nsfw headcanons of characters.

Mine is that Scentplay is extremely common in the BCB universe.

>>152647764
With half the cast walking around without clothes or pants like it's nothing, outdoors sex must be rampant. There's gotta be a couple of teenagers fucking behind every corner in Roseville High.

>>152647665
I want to theorycraft about whether and when Daisy will get tired of being Paulo's beard. I'm betting that when valentines day rolls around in-comic Daisy will try to seduce Paulo, fail, and get frustrated.

>>152647728
>>152647740
Yeah but that's not Mike being interesting, that's Lucy being interesting. Mike is just the axis of her insanity most of the time - we got plenty of discussion in the chapters where Paulo and Lucy interacted, because she was still being entertainingly batshit.

>>152647595
>>152647648
>>152647728
>>152647741

If Mike dies or gets written, I guarantee over half the comic's readers fuck off. He hasn't gotten any growth because of the powers that be. The author uses him to generate drama and that's her bread and butter.

Actually you know what? Please, kill Mike or write him off. Free me from this shitty comic cuz the only reason I'm here is to see how all this plays out.

>>152647700
Lucy is selfish and insane, but not that downright evil.

>>152647795
I didn't say he was unimportant I said he wasn't interesting

>>152647794
I just wish Lucy and Mike turn into actual characters again. Paulo's had plenty screentime already and I'm sick of him, to me he's a finished character. All he's there for now is to be Daisy's boyfriend and be sad.

>>152647830
Mike's definitely a tragic character, but Lucy is as much a plot device as Sandy.

>>152647595
I disagree about Mike. I find him fascinating and it's fun trying to predict what future torture he'll go through next in the future.

>>152647595
>Can we stop talking about Mike every thread?
Absolutely not nor will we stop talking about Paulo being an alpha as fuck gig chad nor will we stop talking shit about Lucy and how she is a BPD psychotic monster

>>152647819
That's cause Mike's development is forcibly tied to Lucy like a human centipede victim. Think about this, If David wasn't made to devalue Mike's running abilities and James and him stayed as friends. Where would Lucy fit into that? Mike would have had a group of friends and people to rely in but that wouldn't include Lucy. This has been an issue before track too.

>>152647802
hence the inadvertently. She is most definitely an insane retard so I could see it happening

>>152647794
>Yeah but that's not Mike being interesting
Eh. I said partly because I can see Taeshi trying to make Mike more flawed, even if it's out of spite or whatever.

>>152647551
it's a ruse
Lucy's putting him through a loyalty test

>>152647907
The stuff she's tried looks downright insane and is easily contradicted by canon. I genuinely think the reception to LITS has pushed her very close to a mental breakdown.

I know all fictional characters are ultimately at the mercy/whims of their creators but I don't know how any of you can seriously believe any of these characters have any remaining internal consistency or continuity with their previously established selves anymore

>>152647911
And it's a wholesome good thing actually.
>cue a series of unhinged Taeshi posts insisting as much

Plot twist regarding Lucy manipulating Paulo to stay put at the table. She only did that cuz he rejected her after she tried coming on to him after Eternal Flame. She's still pissy about the "I don't even like your sister anymore dude." Lucy being pissy about the letters makes this scenario credible. She's one vindictive bitch.

Augustus is going to die by sacrificing himself in a big epic battle with Alejandro or something isn't he?

>>152647965
I'm well aware, I just hold onto old canon because it's what is the true interpretation in my mind. Also, I know that there's no personality or motivation for characters anymore, besides the usual suspects being assholes.

>>152647945
That seems pretty in-character for what she's devolved into. If the comic acknowledged that much, it'd be fun to watch the fallout when either cat figures it out.

>>152647952
Pffft no. He'll get bailed out and treated like a great guy

>>152647741
Mike being the harem protag ended after middle school. Taeshit crowned soggy boi Paulo as the jerk with a heart of a gold, harem protag now. People seem to not notice that for some reason, Paulo's had Tess, Jess, Rachel, Jasmine, Lucy, Daisy, and almost certainly Sue in the future cuz why the fuck not? We all know the sexual tension is real.

>>152647952
Eh he might get a few scratches and I assume give his half-hearted blessing for Mike to retake his old coveted position of teddy bear/punching bag, as required for Mucy endgame.

>>152647877
Don't worry, anon, I'm already sacrificing my time watching the live stream. For now, the only interesting information is that the next chapter will focus on several characters, including a bit of Amaya, and the next chapter will be the beginning of a new artistic style for the comic.

Wouldn't that just be Mike december rant but half-true? Even Mike didn't actually believe that shit, but current Lucy is actually just a parasite and would result in Paulo and Daisy cutting ties with her. Why would Paulo continue to be friends with someone who doesnt even like him that way, but still manipulates him out of spite because he now doesn't like her that way?

Best guess for the new chapter is it's the lunch table worshipping Lucy for enriching their lives, each from their own perspective.

>>152647143
Alejandro relevancy, in 2026 in this economy? PLEASE.

If anything it will be Augustus overhearing Lucy crying about him leaving outside the door, Lucy and her shitty mom (or Jordan) talking about Augustus leaving, or a rare thing - having Mike call Lucy and Augustus realizing he can't leave his pwecious Lucy alone with him.

Alternatively he may just have some PTSD flashback and crumble the acceptance letter, throwing it away.

But just pick the most boring santized option and that is what will happen.

>>152647101
He's finally getting to live a normal life, but I'm worried about the depression he's sending Mike down to. Now would be the perfect time for Alejandro to show up and ruin them.

By the way, lovestruck bunny is also guilty about crying in front of sassy cute spoiled future deer girl waifu, deer forgives as long as bunny will be a good bodyguard slash friend but mostly bodyguard.

Mike is literally too young to leave, and he can't fuck off on his own because it would hurt his mom even if he legally could. Certain amounts of emotional pain are good ways to control greycat.

>>152647143
We got any patrons feeling generous in the thread? I'm only asking for a synopsis.

Continuing with the live updates, Taeshi commented that Paulo's sister already has a canonical name and that it will be revealed in a future BCI.

>>152648206
I think they would have spoken up by now, if there was any remotely juicy content.

>>152648140
Considering how whenever we actually focus on how their interact with Lucy it only shows her being a cunt despite their best efforts I saw welcome, and I'm actually interested in the Amaya focus because for some reason whenever Taeshi writes Sue as future Lucy's truest and closest friend Amaya is not there, and she's never been close to Lucy, so I still have "the only actual dialogue we get from Amaya is her calling Lucy out or calling her a cunt" on my BCBingo

Transparent bait and switch, trying to hype up her fanbase. Amaya will be onscreen for one, maybe two pages and contribute nothing. We just got done with this so-called explosive double date so there is no good reason to get tricked again so quickly.

So when is Taeshi gonna rig a Lucy vtuber model and become a streamer? Which will then inevitably lead down to OnlyFans of her model, which she will vehemently insist that no she's not a furry.

This feels like most chapters desu. Unless they're really short they tend to bounce between groups of characters a bit. Kind of a nothing statement.

Let's say one day Taeshi finally loses her shit, the voices in her head win and she guns down some random person, and er lawyer submits her entire body of BCB-related work as evidence of long-running mental instability, to try and land her an insanity plea.

Continuing with the live updates, Taeshi and SuitCase commented that this year they will be moving to Australia, and this will affect the BCB store. Items such as brooches and charms will stop being sold, and they also said that before the move they will be adding some rare items for a limited time to the store, such as prototypes, Kickstart items, and copies from volume 4.

Honestly if he revealed here he's just been doing everything to get and stay close to the whitecat family as his ticket to flee off to a far away college and never speak to them again I'd fucking cheer.

Only for her to smother him, and feel even more weirded out because an elderly woman is showing him legit love.

I don't want good things to happen to this piece of shit because the more Taeshi tries to pretend like he's some pure little white knight the more I despise him.

So if Mucy is endgame and Lucy currently hates Mike, what will it take for them to get together that won't seem too unreasonable in regards to this comic?

Alejandro is a threat but he's a threat that could be taken care of easier than it seems. They just have to tell the adults about him.

He is a loser though. Him holding a grudge years after two kids slipped away from him is dumb. They weren't that damn important and there have been more girls he can probably sexual assault

>>152650910

Look, what the fuck is the point of going on stream and lying to people fucking faces?

Spite has a negative connotation so she will never admit to something like that.
She'll admit to being a crazy chungus because that's more on the silly side than intentionally making your comic more cruel than it needs to be because you were projecting a grudge onto it.

>>152650974

No she didn't. She did it cause he apologized and wanted to bury the hatchet.

>>152651334

Mike has a cheating girlfriend and a problem with self worth and standing up for himself, his personal relationships are currently a disaster.
Lucy has dependency issues and treats her friends poorly because of various mentally ill tendencies, her only remaining caretaker is going to leave for college.
These two storylines don't have to lead to Mike and Lucy ending up together, there's zero indication that it will.

>>152650974
Didn't she literally draw a comic depicting the differences between Abbey and Mile because she was furious they were being compared, and then made one with Paulo because she was furious that made Mile look good, and that one made Lucy look worse? What was that if not spite?

>>152650974

I mean, we're talking hypotheticals anyways. I kind of expect there won't ever be a reveal of why Lucy hates all her friends - it'll just be left ambiguous and "subtle".

>>152651961
>I kind of expect there won't ever be a reveal of why Lucy hates all her friends - it'll just be left ambiguous and "subtle"
Oh but I disagree. The thing is, Taeshi wants to legitimize Lucy's perspective. Even if she is ultimately meant to be wrong, her beliefs must be "understandable" instead of laughably trite or buttfuck insane. Either of those would lack the dignity Taeshi likes to think Lucy should have. Ergo, the truth will come out and be treated as entirely sensible in-universe.

>>152652058
>instead of laughably trite or buttfuck insane.
Oh no, the reasons can be insane. We are supposed to only feel pity when looking at Lucy's dreams instead of her putting her friends on the sane level as her would be rapist.

>>152652200
Implying said rapist doesn't transform into Mike at the last moment before Lucy wakes up.

>>152652270
I wish Lucy landed head first.

>>152652679
She might as well have, what with all her character regression ever since.

The live stream ended a few hours ago and I forgot to mention the last interesting piece of information Taeshi shared. She talked a bit more about the upcoming chapters. The next chapter (129) will be a Sue chapter, and it was mentioned that Sue chapters tend to come before major events in the story. She didn't go into detail about chapter 130, but she said that the 10 chapters after 130 will be very interconnected and will feel like the grand finale, even though they aren't the end of the story, but rather the end of a major arc.

>>152653515

Gentlemen, synchronize your Mucy watches

>>152653323
>but rather the end of a major arc
So a reset to Volume 1 status in which Mike and Lucy "love" each other but are back on that tsundere bullshit and it's called will they won't they.

>>152653323
I'm gonna guess this is just the end of the "Alejandro saga," not anything directly related to Mucy (which is endgame).

>>152653750
That would be insufferable
>stupid thug that connects both cats: resolved
>Mucy bullshit: zero progress

>>152653901
Maybe not zero progress, since I have to imagine one of them would be saving the other from rapeman, but I'd be stunned if they were even friends again after this arc.

>>152653478
>I heard her say the next chapter would be called Tickets Please
With that title, it's more likely that Sue's part in this chapter will involve the movie theater where Amaya's family works than Paul's Molly Adventure.

>>152653985
My expectations are so low that Mike having no interest in patching things up with Lucy would be enough to make me happy, even if they do so later on.

>>152653544
You forget that she has full ultra instinct bitchcraft, able to instinctively cut down someone's self-worth without even dirtying herself with intent.

She's also still characterized as being rather sweet/kind, having to be "mature" and resenting it, and wanting more agency in her life.

Well, if the end of the current chapter somehow alludes to Alejandro, it's possible it's the end of "Alejandro Saga," however I'd bet more on it being the climax of Mike's self-destructive arc with the line in the sand being Mike's December, Mike isolating himself from the people close to him, and Taeshi focusing so much on talking about the negative points in the blogs, which would make the most sense, but applying logic to BCB is a risky bet.

>>152654066
>having to be "mature" and resenting it
This is false, Sandy has completely embraced this aspect of her life.

>>152654089
So what would a post-hypothetical arc Mike look like?

>Alejandro says "whoa.. it's like you don't give a fuck or something..."
>Invites Mike to be leader of the gang
>Mike puts on his black scarf to show he doesn't give a fuck

>Mike shows his sardonic wit and nihilistic attitude to all of Roseville and they agree he's the coolest guy but he just doesn't give a f**k anymore...

Call it

Mike truly is Taeshi’s unwanted creation, a punching bag whom she believes deserves nothing and was always evil.

It's still wild knowing she based him on her husband. It must be depressing knowing how much your wife (and by extentions her fans) hates you.

Reminder that this is canon

>>152653323
So the end of a major arc in 5 years at least, kek. Taeshi will break and murder Suit before we get that far.

>>152654291
Better writing than taeshit, bravo.

>>152654474
"Develop?" It's part of Sandy's devolution. Nothing about the trait is worth exploring because the character herself is deep as a puddle now.

>>152655769
If Taeshi wanted Sandy's "development" to be more believable, she would've given a short chapter or two to focus on her and show us what her life is like as a model. Perhaps there's no room for compromise, no such thing as a free lunch, etc. Just like irl, the beauty business is cut throat, it should've been easy to showcase this. And no I don't think Taeshi thought this was gonna make Sandy way too sympathetic, her sense of empathy is shot to hell.

>>152656011
Her goal is not to make Sandy a sympathetic character. Quite the opposite! Sandy gave herself over to the vapid world of modeling and so became a boring person with boring priorities that don't align with Mike's own. Unlike dear Lucy, who never submits to external standards (staying true to herself) and also likes video games. Taeshi will not elaborate further because damnation of Sandy was the only point.

>>152656090
>Taeshi will not elaborate further because damnation of Sandy was the only point.
Remember when people pointed out Sandy's cheating was actually Sandy getting groomed and Taeshi had to come out and say Francis was actually just one or two years older than Sandy so she could still be blamed for cheating on Mike? I think she backtracked but it's pretty obvious she didn't want people sympathising with Sandy.

>>152656270
Yeah, I do remember that. It is fairly obvious that Sandy is only meant to be a stumbling block and/or passive antagonist now, despite Taeshi's attempts to sound impartial or even sympathetic toward the girl. Which sucks ass for people who genuinely want Sandy to be an interesting character since her situation does hold some good dramatic potential. But that basic truth also makes the occassional combative dyed in the wool Sandtard, who refuses to open their eyes and unclog their ears, all the more annoying when they get pissy over any threat to their fantasy. A mercifully rare breed, but we've had at least one of those in past threads.

>>152656270
Man, how does she do it? She's at this very tiny margin of popularity where she's safe from the grifters and had a sizeable community that literally feeds her ideas and makes up excuses for her writing, and instead of taking notes and comparing to her own or adding some of the elements that would make her comic fun to read like Sandy being a victim of the glamour life that wants Mike as her last grasp of normalcy she doubles down and goes on a PR campaign because how fucking dare you not understand what she's going for (she doesn't know herself but the plot points to anime music look great in her head, getting there be damned)

>>152656430
I think no one who would care enough bothers getting that far into BCB or hanging around long enough to hear the deeper lore.

>>152656418
Just from how Taeshi handled Sandy is how we can predict will go. It'll be the most milquetoast resolution possible with he moral of, yes you should forgive your abuser and you're as bad as them if you don't take it

>>152656785
Only in favor of Lucy, methinks. Taeshi is not consistent when it comes to the severity of this or that sin, which is based entirely upon who committed it. Lucy will always be given some excuse or another while other character should have known better to do the exact same thing or, more often, a far less egregious misdeed. Sandy will be damned for her infidelity, with all extenuating circumstances ignored or denied.

Through it would be worth a good snort if Taeshi declared that Sandy earned her grooming by not resisting hard enough. She should have acted more like Lucy, who continually rejected the vile predations of one Michael Graycat while surviving off his support.

>>152654357
>Taeshi's BPD Eye of Sauron has now lasered in on Augustus and decided he isn't a pure little muffin but has actually been using Lucy this whole time and never stopped feeding info to Alejandro.
Please jesus make it happen.

Wouldn't that imply she's been trying to mislead everyone with her blatantly wrong blogposts? I'd be surprised if Taeshi harbored the proactive autism required for that much effort.

>>152657806
I don't think this is planned at all, I think she's just going every which way she feels at the moment and could even shift entire plot threads last second.
EF makes it clear how bad her planning is, if she's doing any at all.

The author is fundamentally insane with a screwed up sense of morality and mental instability, so I've accepted that there's no reason to be invested in what happens when it can be retconned for her self-insert's convenience.

>>152654357
This is not a real prediction, but what if

>>152658097
It'd be fun to see Augustus finally have some balls back, but Taeshi probably wouldn't want to dirty his hands that much. If she did, the fanbase would absolutely push back if she tried to justify it.

>>152658057
It's more that she would have already written Augustus to be the bad guy, with the reveal pages ready to drop, when making those blog posts that denied any wrongdoing on his part. A little bizarre if Taeshi already knew he was a secret villain.

>>152658097
I wonder if Augustus would know better than to tell Lucy about his hand in that, or would parade it around expecting praise.

>>152658148
Parade it because he took care of her problems and got rid of the evil evil greycat.

>>152658153
He'd have to be awfully presumptuous to think Lucy could ever be onboard with this, but then BCB characters are lobotomized as the plot demands. Sure, it's true Worst Cat does want Mike to suffer, but his death at the hands of her own live-in boytoy would horrify her. Firstly, she'd be personally liable and so there is the guilt angle. Second, the Mike bowl would now be officially unwinnable and she is very hung up on that just now. Third, this guy living under her roof just effectively murdered someone and that is undeniably psychotic. Fourth, I assume that Lucy still has enough of a soul to feel regret that things between her and Mike ended so horribly and is capable sympathy for his family.

>>152658097
I really don't know how Taeshi could write that and NOT realize how much pain has been caused on behalf of Lucy as if she isn't responsible for any of it.
Unless it ends with Mike dead and the collective realization of how much damage she did to herself and everyone else makes her actually kill herself. It'd still be shit but I'd laugh my ass of at it.

>>152658278
Oh, he'd be critically injured but not dead- he's be able to survive as the plot demands. Have it mirror Paulo laughing at Abbey when she hears the news, while her friends realize what a psycho she is. And no, I don't think Lucy has any capacity for remorse or empathy anymore.
>>152658282
If it ended that way, it'd be wonderful to watch unfold.

>>152658282
>b-b-but it was Augustus who did it on Lucy's behalf!
>he didn't even ask her first!!
>she is free of sin okay?!
>SHE'S THE REAL VICTIM HERE

>>152658319
>And no, I don't think Lucy has any capacity for remorse or empathy anymore.
Of course she does. It's a tiny pathetic ember, relighted from time to time and easily snuffed out again by her own vanity. But we did see it flare up when she tried to make up for screeching at Paulo by helping patch things up between him and Daisy. Even if she did give up halfway through.

>>152658381
She chooses to extinguish it every time, from using Paulo to gaslighting and hitting Mike. In short, she chooses to ignore it for her own gain.

>>152658395
Sure, but that just reinforces the notion that Lucy can feel remorse. Accepting it in full would mean sacrificing her petty delusions and accepting fault, which is why these inconsequential little fits and starts of empathy are tolerated so rarely.

>>152647101
Haven't read this webcomic in year. Has some burly dog clapped this twink's cheeks yet?

>>152658514
Yes but only if you take the porn anons draw as canon.

>>152658514
Aside from Paulo ejaculating at Lucy's merest touch, BCB is now utterly sexless.

>>152658436
I mean, the fact she suppresses all empathy for her own gain at the end of the day is pretty much equivalent of having none to start with.

>>152658667
Oh far from it. The fact that Lucy can and does feel empathy is what keeps her theoretically redeemable. Feeling none would render her an utter psychopath. As it stands, a hard enough shock could still jolt her out of the entitled asshole routine.

>>152658567
>still seething over this

>>152658567
Polo was always a quick shot

>>152658750
Theoretically redeemable, but never chooses to change her ways. At this point, she’s a one dimensional plot device.
