@J.Vincero

My grandparents ON BOTH SIDES met in middle school and have been married over fifty years. so yeah. and I’m a junior and have been in a very faithful realationship with my girl for two years now. so sorry but that’s a load of crap.

I love hearing the facts of life from snotty juniors with blatant logic farts, like comparing relationships two generations ago to relationships today, or drawing on personal experience that completely ignores the premise of the original argument: “surviving the transition to college.” Good luck to you, but statistics are not on your side.

@ J.Vincero I guess I know where you are coming from, I don’t know anyone else who has had a relationship last more than a year in my school. and you’re right, statistics are not on my side. but I still would be very happy to see my current Girlfriend eventually end up as my wife. and I’m sure she feels the same way. thank you for your concern -Kevin

also yes it is a sinking ship, but Donald duck and his nephews are gonna bring it back up with ping-pong balls.

I have to say I miss the simplistic days a lot of the time, Simple Pleasures is a perfect example of me trying to go back to the roots and.. kind of struggling! The characters have changed so much since then! Happygolucky shit would honestly happen if everything was on good terms with everyone.. and well.. yeah mike and lucy’s relationship is kind of currently broken.

This is why if I have bliss ideas I make it 5th grade bcb. That was their Renaissance.

@ Taysh: I need a lobotomy. And then I could just pick my ending and then lurk around there in the archives and pretend. That said, I would eat a baby for another arc that puts all the characters back together like they were in Acapulco. I mean, not relationship-wise, but just to see how the dynamics have changed between everybody.

I know, honestly Lucy was smart to tell Mike how she feels, but she chose the wrong time to tell him. and now she’s a nervous wreck… thanks Mike. Again LucyXMike is a sunken ship, but “Donald duck” and “his nephews” are gonna bring it back up with ping-pong balls… (being metaphorical)

@ kevin

It’s not mike’s fault, she had years to make a move :\ and then gets upset because he wants to give sandy a shot first.

I realize that and I agree with him personally which Is kinda why I said bad timing… but still MikeXSandy won’t last much longer… I almost guaranty it. like a billy maze guatanty.

I will not lie, I am a major MikexLucy fan, when a couple is introduced at the beginning of the series I tend to stick with them. I’m not saying that they have the perfect relationship, God knows they don’t, and I understand Mav’s stance on how they can’t get together when their entire relationship is balanced on dependency issues, but I still love the idea of MikexLucy.

I don’t have a problem with Sandy, she’s a nice girl, but long term relationships rarely end well. And I love that Taeshi makes us think about if Mike and Lucy should really be together when their relationship is so unstable, but I honestly think at some point Lucy is going to have to grow up.

She’s more of the problem here than Mike. Sure he’s not helping at the situation, but after years of chasing after her, can you blame him? For once he wants to live his own life, he knows Lucy needs to grow up and stand up by herself that’s why he has turned his back on her. Lucy is going to have to stop waiting for someone to pick her up and rescue her, she needs to learn she can get out of the damn tower by herself if she will only try.

So yeah, MikexLucy has a lot of problems, but I still have hope for Childhood romance. Cause, really I’m just a kid at heart.

Don’t take posts on the Internet so seriously, especially when it’s spelling posts. Granted it could sometimes use some work but it’s not a big deal. Maybe take them as lessons or something. Like “oh right so it’s spelled like that”

I can understand english not being your first language.

I’ve been a MikexSandy supporter from the beginning. :D
these last few chapters have just been upping my belief.

actually it was my first, but I’m slightly dyslectic so there really wasn’t anyone to teach me.

Theory: That play Sue is putting together is an attempt to get Mike and Lucy together… And the day of the play is going to be the same day Sandy comes to visit. Drama shall ensue….

@other mike

I hope not, I’d like to see sandy get a fighting chance. I was actually expecting sephiroth cat to sabotage the play in a way that humiliates them or something.

Comment ID #91332

@happehface: I’m not saying Sandy won’t get a fighting chance. However, this theory would be the best way to squeeze maximum drama out of the situation…. IMO.

it is a sunken ship that will be excavated.

Kevin September 15, 2010, 4:49 PM EST.

But sunken ships will never be sailed again. Only stared and laughed at in museums. ^_^

@ilb
but they are also respected and can be made to work again

think about that

Oh? I don’t think any ship that had to be excavated has ever been reused. ^_^

@ILB

well whatever…

i’m just saying because of the recent odds of mikexlucy not working are up
does not mean they can not be together

Oh, take no notice of my musings. I wasn’t really saying anything about Michael and Lucy, only about sunken ships. ^_^

Mike x Lucy? i asked stuff like that when i first joined near the end of summer. I think its unstable with a few holes but a ship is always repairable. ^_^

Well, more like the ship exploded in a ball of fire before sinking.

I still recall one of my friends saying something completely awesome like “I don’t expect mikexlucy to be together unless there’s enough collateral damage”

It filled me with delights, I wish I could find that comment again one day because I didn’t phrase it correctly, but it stuck out. You’d think the supposed “expected pairing” would be easier, but things are very delightfully awkward right now.

@ ILB not true almost every single ship (except Uss arizona) was recovered and reused after the pearl harbor bombing, it took only four months to fix them. so sunken ships can be recovered, let alone relationships, no worries. -Kevin

Kevin September 16, 2010, 1:59 AM EST.

Comment ID #92165

But if they had to be excavated? If we found Titanic or the Marie Celeste, we wouldn’t use them. We’d put them on display. ^_^

And most ships that do sink, frankly, stay sunk.

ILB September 16, 2010, 9:18 AM EST.

Comment ID #92374

good point and I agree that MOST ship that take water stay there… but not all, infact the only reason those ships in pearl harbor were recovered was because they were in very shallow water

Snady will end up snapping and cheating on Mike and then Mike will b sad and then Lucy will be all: “I love Paulo now” just to get back at Mike AND HE WILL COMMIT SUICIDE! and THAT my follow forumers, is how BCB will end.

You spoiled the ending!

That WOULD be the ending, if the real paulo wasn’t porking every girl in 2 grades of high school simultaneously… Some people are forgetting the dream is non-canon n___n; wishfull thinking isn’t all bad though, a for effort.

I always figured the early MikexLucy moments were tantamount to a Chekhov’s gun, considering how amorphous Sandy has always been as a character (and still is even after she got her own arc).

Right now, everything’s been kind of linear. Why? I’ve said this before, but what the Hell: it’s the calm before the storm. There’s high school drama (losing virginity, new girlfriends, old flames, etc.) and then there’s catalysts, unknown quantities that Taysh writes during dark and stormy nights laughing maniacally at our ignorance while we sit and ship.

While I’m a supporter of Mike x Lucy, I think their situation can’t be resolved with a “Wow, I love you” speech. Neither of them have ever made up its mind. Lucy never actually got completely over her feelings for Paulo, and Mike is clinging to Sandy, who at this point it feels more like a wishful childhood memory than a real person. I know she’s real, but she just seems too perfect.
Mike is (has always been) sure that Lucy is just using him as an anchor, and fears what a relationship with her would mean to that. What if she realizes she doesn’t actually need him at all and leaves him?
Lucy never pursued actvely a relationship, fearing that the pain of Mike leaving her again would be even greater if they were a couple. Also, she struggles with the remains of her crush for Paulo.
Not an easyly solved problem, indeed. Or that’s what I think.

Sandy x Mike = DOOOMED

Lucy x Liam = Good for a while, but they’d grow apart

So I think they’ll both be available again, but if they stayed mad at each other it would be stupid.

Personally I’d like to see Mike and Tess hook up. Just seems like it’d work to me.
