Did You Try
This is one of those really weird and difficult scenes where a character is taking on a life of her own. Sarah is not at all being fair to Mike, but her response is a genuine and honest one for her. Although on the other hand, she has ample reason to feel this way – Mike has been going way overboard in the way he’s been “exploring” the people around him, and assuming that they understand. That’s life, I guess.
Anyway, I’m really worn down and irritable, and everything has been smelling rotten and foul today – this happens to me sometimes, lately. They don’t know what it is (and believe me they’ve checked for some crazy things), but I go to some lengths to limit it, and when it happens anyway it’s super annoying. Nevertheless I persevere.
All the best, folks.
AWWWW CRAP! I forgot that this week is the start of “New Comics Month” at the Spiderforest Webcomic Collective! God damn it. Sorry this was late but here are some of the spectacular offerings coming on board this season:
Heart of Keol: Ethan is a young man with a broken family. After an encounter with a mysterious child, he wakes up in a strange world that looks a lot like ancient Korea—except with magic. Even with all this frenzy happening around him, he can’t seem to shake off his family baggage…
Tistow: Small Trolls: Jáhko and Veeti live out daily adventures in the nearby woods, helping fairies build houses, outwitting monsters, gathering seeds with trolls and helping wisps grow saplings. Under the guidance from Jáhko’s grandmother and the woodland spirits, the boys will learn the ways of the shaman and to respect nature.
Children of Eldair: Koe finds a young woman held by demons, kidnapped from Earth and brought to his world by fairies. Can he help Embera get back home, and will his own world survive the journey?
Welcome all!
I like how Mike is starting to get annoyed with Sarah, the “Look, I saved your LIFE!” look… it doesn’t excuse the mind-raping bit. Geez Sarah, try to remember, Mike didn’t drop that FAE/nuke that turned your face into a pineapple. Btw, does Sarah realize Mike’s been mind-raping the others too? How much has she inferred from her run-in with the Russian psycho-Sergeant Vissarionov? Take it easy. Take a week or a month off if you need to. Your health is kinda important.
They’re both wrong, frankly. And I see where they both are coming from. And yeah, putting myself in Mike’s place, maybe he’s getting sick of taking such a rap for trying to do the right thing – and not being a God.
Yeah she could be a bit more grateful
Yeah that one is definitely a tough part of all of this. You don’t save people’s lives to get thanks for it. But to have someone actively blame you for doing what was by all measures the right thing – it’s another part of how twisted up people get in situations like this.
still she is being a bitch at this point
I’m just glad they’re taking all this time-out to talk about their feeling while a Victor-Class Super-Super-Heavy is still out there trying to kill them…
:T
Considering how much Victor enjoys invading other peoples minds like, I wouldn’t be surprised if he stopped shooting for a minute to watch Sarah implode. $10 he is off panel, sitting in a chair and eating popcorn.
Allot of this seems like misplaced guilt over Milo. Sarah has blamed everyone else, looks like she is about to cave and start blaming herself.
This is why I’m on Team DaCosta. And Sarah doesn’t have to blame herself, I think it’s well established the Russians had something to do with Milo’s fate (btw, do we ever see a body??). I’m just waiting for Mike to cross-patch Sarah’s brain with Major Rucker’s like he did with Vassarionov’s so Rucker can realize just how much Sarah wanted to make babies with Milo and not him. Right now I think Mike is idiot enough to do that… you know, to make things better by explaining himself. 🙂
I didn’t say it was her fault, it’s part of the grieving process. She skipped Pain and Guilt and went straight to Anger. It’s also been established Rucker wanted to save Sarah because he blamed himself for losing his old tank crew. He couldn’t save them but he could still save Sarah (Why the hell does the internet need to ‘ship’ every god damn character? Not every story needs to be a damn romance)
“Why the hell does the internet need to ‘ship’ every god damn character?” Because it’s fun! And occasionally very rewarding; take “Namesake” (http://namesakecomic.com/comic/mixed-messages) for example… 🙂
“It was too late, even before I crossed the border.” Actually, no, it wasn’t, and you could have used that fancy AI brain of yours to figure out what would happen if you did cross the border. But nnnooooo, you let your emotions get the better of you and did the stupidest thing possible. Thanks for nothing, Mike. 🙁
