THEM?
on August 16, 2016 at 12:01 amChapter: Perverse Sexual Lust
Characters: Alan Rees, Grace Svenson, Guns, Joe Rosenthal, Joyce Brown, Mandy Kowalski, Marcie Diaz, Monkey Master, Sierra Snow
Location: Alan's training room
My decision to infuse SEMME with a flood of lady characters was in retrospect kinda mitigated a little, I feel, by making them, essentially, Joe’s 5-girl-orgy wet dream. And with the Dumbiverse‘s rule that everyone’s sexuality remains constant from the Walkyverse, Dumbiverse Joyce’s dorm hall is just lousy with lady-loving ladies thanks almost entirely to Squad 48, even more than it would have been otherwise.
“First we’ll search this BEDROOM… every orificeI MEAN nook and cranny”
“Nothing will go unchecked.”
L-O-U-S-Y is a funny way to spell “awesome”.
Hmm. The three Squad 48 ladies who made it to Clark 3 constitute less than half of the lady-loving ladies on the floor.
“Lousy” in this case means “full of.” Based on the original meaning of the word being “infested with lice.”
I would far rather my dorm were infested with lesbians.
(Yeah, I know, Becky is the only one who’s actually a lesbian. It just sounds better that way.)
I was honestly kinda disappointed that their relationship status as a poly “couple” didn’t carry over to Dumbing of Age, as well. They’re not great poly representation here, what with the relationship apparently being almost entirely sexual (Mandy and Grace aside), so it’s something I would’ve liked to see given another shot.
Here’s hoping we’ll get to explore that relationship possibility with a particular bi gentleman!
On one hand Danny is the most mono human being on the planet, to the point where he’s previously considered having feelings for another person to be unfaithful.
On the other, Danny deciding to pursue poly would be interesting too, if only because he’s so dedicated to monogamy. Either is good, really.
Mein gott, his mind would break.
Squad 48 is interesting to me in that when written they were just Joe’s sexy harem, but nowadays a group of bi poly ladies would probably be seen as awesome and subversive, and you’d no doubt write the hell out of them outside of just being the 5-girl orgy wet dream. It’s why I think you’d do a great job writing a poly romance at some point.
I still like them. They were pretty quickly established to be a lot more thoughtful and romantic than surface viewings would give. Like, yeah, they are just eye candy for now, we’re meant to congratulate Joe on being such a studmuffin, but we still do see that there’s more to them later on (especially that one scene involving Marcie and a baseball bat that I’m describing as vaguely as possible).
That was meant to be its own standalone comment. Sorry.

So was Dina bi in the Walkyverse too then?
Retroactively, yes.
Weeeeellll maybe. She says that gender expression is irrelevant to her, which could also mean pan, or some other flavour of polysexuality.
But then Dina having literal bisexual invisibility powers might be too good to pass up.
Retroactive for It’s Walky, but not for the Walkyverse. It’s how the latter got all sogged up.
I thought it was because she wasn’t a white male. Although reading back it doesn’t actually say specifically, so the bisexuality works too.
Also, not being neurotypical is a possibility if I’m remembering correctly regarding that scene… as read on Walkypedia, because I lost track of Shortpacked long before that, in the great “live bookmarks catastrophe” that caused me to lose almost all my webcomics.
I’ve always interpreted her as asexual biromantic.
And Danny too? I’m curious as to when that came about in the Walkyverse.
I don’t think it did in the stories, but then there wasn’t anything to say that he wasn’t, so…
Walkyverse Danny is retroactively bi, yeah.
Based, by Willis’ admission in the commentary here, in significant part on his reaction to meeting Walky in that storyline.
Grace is unimpressed. (she’s the McKayla Maroney of the squad!)
…Suddenly Joe hitting on Sierra in the Dumbiverse has a whole new multi-universe meaning.
