Wasn't there a scene where Brun told Clinton (or Elliott?) that she's ace (but using her own words to describe it, very Brun-like)
I don't remember a scene with Yemisi talking about her sexuality?

Brun's sexuality is as yet unverified, although I strongly suspect ace. Yemisi is the only character confirmed as asexual.

I don’t know… she might be at the other end of the spectrum, which also hasn’t really had any representation (unless you count Sven? Or Pintsize, but he’s his own weird, weird thing.)
She’s enthusiastic about everything she tries and she wants to try everything. She even had the crew use her body as a bong.
Doesn’t seem like much of a stretch for her, once she tries it. Not that Jeph could actually include it in the strip, of course.

Clinton: "Oh he is! Wait, what?"

It's my impression that as they were growing up, Aurella also lacked a lot of chill, in no small part because of their deadbeat dad. But she accomplished the goal of getting them to college, and she breathed a sigh of relief and reassessed stuff.

BookBeard
2024-05-16 03:31:48 +0000 UTC
I don't think Panromantic is an accurate description. I agree that Moray enthusiastically loves everyone, but so far it has always seemed platonic. In this regard she is much like Willow, strong propensity for forming friendship but no obvious tendency (yet) toward the romantic.
BookBeard
2024-05-16 03:29:32 +0000 UTC
I am trying to figure out how Aurelia managed to raise those two. Not even the slightest chill in either of them, while their mother kicks back and plays bass and casually accidentally becomes a vtube celebrity.

For the Clinton/Moray shippers (Minton?) I think Clinton is just fascinated with Moray as a being and there is no sexual or romantic interest in that. And I've been meaning to comment, since I've seen other characters getting matched up with Moray in previous threads: Moray strikes me as kind of ace; anyone else get that vibe? Idk why, just a feeling. Ace/aro maybe even.

Rereading through the archive lately and it's kinda fascinating. Especially since around strip 100 there's a small arc of Pintsize interacting with other AIs about one of them getting unwillingly modded that would probably horrify most of the current cast.
