*Picks up phone* "Muahaha, you foolish brutes! I will never listen to you again! My bright future awaits me and never again will I-"
"Augustus? This is officer Sparklebutt. We've been trying to find you. Someone messed with your parents' drugs. They didn't make it."
>>
>>152679015
Finally something mildly interesting, if Augustus is actually still faithfully reporting to Alejandro and just putting up a facade it confirms that Taeshi's commentaries are full of shit and she's just misdirecting so people don't guess her plot points and the whole "he's just protecting her" is fake as well, but I find that hard to believe because he's her marketable plushie right now so making him into an actual villain would sit badly with her rabid fan base. My prediction based on the last page is that he sees this as a chance to finally take a chance and life for himself and get himself safely away from his past, so he picks up the phone to gloat because he has such a way with words (eugh), but then he's told something that can ruin everything for him

honestly a lot of the problem is that Taeshi went from anime tumblr novice writing to slice of life pseudo-psychology writing

it's like Beastars became 13 Reasons Why all of the sudden
>>
>>
>>152679208
This. Taeshi will pick the most boring option possible. Her goal will be to make readers feel good that Augustus is escaping Alejandro's clutches even harder while insisting that Roseville's lamest thug remains a relevant plot element.

I'm tempted to buy the cum stained Lucy figure
>>
Fuck it, if Taeshi won't expand upon Alejandro's character then we should do it ourselves. He could be a drug dealer working for the local distributor, who in turn belongs to a cartel. His betters regularly abuse him cuz he's a small-fry, which makes him seek out middle-schoolers to prey on to make himself feel big. I wanna see some Better Caul Saul shenanigans regarding our methfailure.
>>
>>
>>152679456
>belongs to a cartel
You don't need to go that far bro, he is not that big a deal. It would make more sense if he was just a hoodlum for a guy who works for a local gang, which in turn buys their supply from some guy from a bigger regional gang who gets it from the cartels.
>>
>>
>>152679456
Alejandro used to be almost just like Mike before going down a dark spergish path (from which a Lucy-like figure could have saved him, naturally). He is a cautionary tale held back by alcohol impairing his judgement and own set of anime protagonist reflexes. Thus going sober turns Alejandro from a malding ineffectual loser into a spiteful driven threat.

Personally my cope is that "taking revenge on high school kids" is fairly low on Alejandro's priority list most of the time, hence why Augustus, the world's least-effectual henchman, got tasked with it. Alejandro and Toby themselves are busy with stuff that actually makes money, like dealing drugs or running rackets or whatever.

I liked Popularity Contest except for the parts where David bullshits away the consequences of Jessica being a psycho and the bit where Madison casually destroyed the continuity of the last 5 volumes, throwing BCB over the edge into non-casual madness.

>>152680777
>y'all did not give a fuck
What a worthless waste of lucky & trips what a fucking terrible terriblel waste of luck for /bcb/
Sue is without a doubt the most legit honest to god waifu'd and loved girl in BCB. She is pure and adorable. Sue is meant for giving her a laptop to play DOTA on WCIII on the bed. As you grab her ass spreading it hard and pronebone her at 120-180 slam per min. Whispering and mocking in her ear every time she fucks up. Placing your arm around her throat choking her, telling her to GET GUD SCRUB NUBLING. Then pounding her even harder till she stops fucking up.
Hopefully after 33-5 hours of hateful gaming RP rape gaming session. She gets really really fucking good. So good in fact she can only MLG360noscope play. While rape RP is involved, thus she invites you over every time she wants to be gayming for realzies. Somehow hiding you and the noise from her parents.
Everyone woman other than like Daisy&Amaya are fucking T R A S H. Especially Madison she needs unironic rape beating gay therapy corrections for weeks on end kept in a room with complete darkness barely fed kept in her own filth. Letting her know you wont let her out till she stops being a faggot rude as fuck and a thoughtless selfish egotistical worthless cunt. And if she is let out as soon as she fucks up, its back into the room for at least twice the time she was in it last with twice the violence for starters.
Once again Sue is so loved there is no point always bringing this up. Because suitcase&Tae would absolutely do something horrible to her in the comic as revenge or some petty shit.

I mean he has blue eyes for God's sake.
>>
>>
>>152681024
>whitest Mexican
Because he's very clearly indo+nigger the worst form of south America. You can tell this by how stupid violent and his complete lack of common sense logic and any sense of emotion/morals.
There is not a white or even Spamoorish blood in his body, once again he is without a doubt the worst type of mutt there is. Like one of those god awful inbred pitbulls that dont even live past the age of 2 because of how inbred and fucked up their bones,brain&organs are genes are completely shreded there brains are just on autopoilet sometimes they even forget to drink or eat for days or even shit&piss they are that retarded.

>>152681128
Somehow her fucking with volume 4 feels worse than the earlier revisions. The early volumes exist in this weird haze of anime tropes but later stuff is "real."
Anyway based psycho Jessica clocking Augustus, game recognizes game. You can almost feel the leash being pulled when she says "forget it" in that one panel. You know she's capable of more, but Augustus has protected status.
>>152681238
Imagine if they actually talked about this instead of Gus divining Lucy's intent from Mike's entrails like a BPD haruspex. He's like "what do you mean you're still having nightmares, Mike isn't around you during lunch anymore" and she looks at him like he's retarded.

No worries, game's free for all, especially since Suit literally said that "anyone is free to scan and put it on tabletop sim" aeons ago.

I'd respect Taeshi to some degree if she'd just confront her own writing mistakes instead of making shit up to mitigate them.
Also
>they'd have to confront their own responsibility
What fucking responsibility? Both Sue and Paulo tried to help Lucy and she failed to value either. Even Mike told Lucy he went too far and offered a do-over, not knowing it would send her over the edge. Worst Cat is the one who chose to jump.

Mary's reaction is weirdly normal for her. Not really a complaint, just something I had to comment on.
>>152682907
I think the annoying bit for me is the implication that she needed "saving" in that situation. What Lucy really needs to be saved from is her own maladaptive tendencies but Augustus is far too much of an enabler to try that.
>>
>>152682925
I'm more annoyed that Taeshi is trying to have her cake and eat it too. Mucy fucking sucks. Here we have Mucy 2.0, far more functional yet forced because you cannot convince me that a grateful Augustus would not also find Lucy's current self utterly insufferable. And the worst part is that Taeshi will STILL push Mucy 1.0 in the end despite the flawed yet superior alternative.

Anon we al know Lucy unironically legit rapes him in his sleep to deny him the pleasure of having sex as well as admitting to the fact she loves him. Letting another man get emotional with her that isnt platonically
because this is what BPD monsters do, if she cant 104% control him. She'll fuck him in his sleep while whispering really nasty shit in his ear. Like when he cums inside her.

Oh boy if you think Taeshi's ever going to make Lucy take responsibility for her suicide attempt you're fooling yourself. She made it crystal clear with Augustus seething and malding: Lucy trying to kill herself is primarily Mike's fault, secondarily the lunch table's and definitely not Lucy's.

Augustus but he gets what he fuckin' deserves.
>>
>>152683230
Let's use the author's concepts of "outs" in that case- except it genuinely works here. All her friends gave her a chance and support, and Mike offered a do-over. At the end of it, Lucy was too scared of writing or calling and chose to nobly end her life than do such a horrid thing. Even the english language and pencils scare her shitless, for they make LETTERS!
>>
>>
>>152683299
But you don't understand, the outdoor area was Lucy's safespace! Augustus saved Lucy by inspiring her to abandon it and sit with the people she despises out of plausibly denied spite. The guy's a hero!
>>
Honestly, BCB should have ended after Mike offered to stay friends after the play. We all know Lucy is never facing consequences, so we could have just had it end on them keeping in touch and Mike still happy with Sandy.
>>
>>
>>152683542
It should've ended after Eternal Flame when it was confirmed that Mike will literally never dump Sandy no matter how awful or humiliating the relationship gets, and nothing Mike does to Lucy matters because all he has to do is offer a relationship and she'll be happy again.
It's the one chapter that proved the main characters are incapable of change or growth.
>>
>>152683648
Yup, the comic is abysmal dogshit where nothing of significance happens anymore because the author relies on this for a living. Everyone becomes caricatures of themselves, eventually becoming interchangable as the plot demands. Every male and female character converges into sad little creatures.

Many might fall in the face of chaos, but not this one. Not today.

Mike has a meltdown and when he comes out the other side he is stone cold and just does what he wants at that point.
Augustus would be internally terrified of Mike if he did that and would have to weigh whether trying to use it as a verbal weapon (because that's all he can do) against him is even worth chancing even if Mike looked rough about it. There's that possibility of trying to guilt trip Mike about it won't lead to what happened last time, but instead Mike just cracking his skull open out of the blue.
In such a scenario Augustus would probably aim to just take the win of Al getting taken out against all odds and pray Mike never found out he tipped Augustus off.

I won't lie I've been turning the idea of Mike having to kill Alejandro over in my head for a while. I'm not sure where you'd go from there but I like the idea, good angst fuel. What I usually go with is Mike deciding to run away for a while after this, not even necessarily because he actually thinks he'd get convicted of anything but because he knows people would believe him if he said he thought so and it's a chance to get away from everything. Picture that less as a cold calculation and more as a decision made half-consciously, emotionally, and very quickly in the immediate aftermath.

You have not even seen our full power anon. I've been pondering on what would be a Taeshi way to indicate that Mucy is actually a good thing, and I think I was able to replicate the mind of a BPD demon enough to come up with something.
>Chapter begins with Lucy waking up haggard and drained from another nightmare.
>Sequence of her going through her morning empty-eyed, then during lunch her standing at the doors to the field, staring out at a forlorn Mike, hand on the door lever, before turning away when she hears Augustus calling for her
>Another sequence of her sitting at the lunch table, sitting in class, and going home clearly not listening to a thing being said around her
>Next page her is standing in front of her dresser, before opening one of the drawers to reveal that she has Mike's long lost first scarf.
>She stares at it intensely, before a flash of anger and she tosses it in her trash bin.
>Next page, first panel is her having a nightmare, second panel is the scarf sitting on top of the trash can, third panel is her broken out in sweat with a face of pure terror, fourth is a slightly more zoomed in one of the scarf on the trash can. Fifth panel is her bed empty, sixth is her trash can now empty, and the final panel is her lying in bed, snuggled up with the scarf with a look of serenity and calmness.

I'm onboard with Mike going cold as a result, but he doesn't strike me as someone who would get violent after that point. His spergouts were emotionally driven attempts to assert control, so an already icy Mike is more likely to, say, flatly tell Augustus the opinions of a wannabe rapist don't mean much. This stupid pissing match shit should feel so small now.

I could see this as well, especially as part of a prolonged breakdown. Mike gets over the initial shock and the empathetic guilt starts to creep in, poisoning his outlook. Of course, with Mike on the run, there is no one around to slap him out of his delusion. No one who can get him to accept that doing what was necessary didn't make him a monster.
