Author commentary

Veronica: At one point in the dialogue revision, Souppy had Abbey say “don’t be silly, I’m sure he deserved every word” and I was like “YIKES MAN” because Abbey’s not a weirdo gaslighter like that. “Don’t be silly” isn’t that horrible of a thing to say generally, but with someone as serious as Abbey, it takes on a whole new abusive streak. And that’s totally not Abbey :l

Oliver: Yeah, a lot of this chapter was about tweaking the balance for a lot of the tension and conflict underlying all these characters. It’s a tough life for Abbey.

Also we are at Youmacon! In Detroit! Right now! Go!!

I really hate this cat. “Look I know you’ve been his best friend since you were kids and I’m just the entitled Nice Guy who wandered into your posse like a year ago, but I know what I’m talking about when I tell you that this conversation I never heard was totally appropriate.”
Seriously, if his character arc doesn’t lead to him becoming the official antagonist of the comic then I have no idea what’s going on anymore. ¬_¬

I feel like even Mike’s face is like, “Well what did you expect him to do, Daisy? Welcome you back with open arms after you went overboard?” Although I liked Abbey at first, at least back when he was trying to get over his violent and angry behavior, now he doesn’t seem to be trying. He’s just doing it in a more quiet way now. Just letting everything simmer under the surface. Someone needs to point out to him that if he really wants to stop acting like his Father, he needs to chill with the violence, and that not all violence is physical. Now his outlet with anger is a bit of physicality but lots of threats and threatening behavior and verbally.

Honest Abe here’s having none of Paulo’s nonsense. Again, how many times before Paulo learns, or burns? Is this it? Or will Rachel let him have it first? This is like survivor. First Lucy’s voted off for a season, now him? :o
