Ten Seconds to Midnight

MikexLucy fans get coal in their stockings this year.

And by "stockings," I mean "anuses."

Which will explain the impending butthurt.

aaaaaaaaaaand boom goes the dynamite.
  • #152

This pleases me greatly.

Though the pessimist in me stirs.
  • #153

I wonder what Paulo is going to do now that he (sort of) admits to Tess that he loves Lucy? :question:

Also, I wonder how Mike's going to react seeing Paulo and Lucy together, provided that they eventually hook up?

Either way, his situation has just gotten complicated.
  • #154

I really hope this goes well, because it has potential for total DISASTER
But right around the last time Lucy's heart was broken her and Paulo got "friendly" (as they say) the reason (or part of it) they're not still close is because David convinced Paulo to be a bit of a manwhore...

Of course, this could be the perfect time to canon-ize Another Path XD

I hope it is lucy instead of daisy. Abby and dasiy are a good cople and I dont whant paulo to fuck it all up.

PAULO NO
  • #157

It's indeed hinted at that Paulo's relationship with Jasmine will come to an end in favor for Lucy. I would however not expect Lucy to accept a commitment any time soon, but the friendship between Paulo and Lucy is likely to get a healthy refresh.

Mike could possibly take that as Lucy is reestablishing a dependency on Paulo subsequently to Jasmine being out of the picture. That could revert Mike's view on Lucy in case he would've been reconsidering about her in some way. Although, if Lucy would also reach out to her other friends it would improve her image.

Things certainly is complicated enough for Lucy. She has come to terms with the idea she got no chance with Mike, but that doesn't need to mean she would in a near future be into a relationship with someone else. She could very well be making more connections and try avoid getting too attached to just one individual.

Not sure where to put this, but check out the picture Tracy J. Butler (Author of Lackadaisy) drew for a friend:

"So who is this girl?"
"Lucy."

Tess is somewhat protective of Lucy; I wonder if she'd try to dissuade Paulo from approaching her.

Certainly Taeshi could do a reprise of "Another Path", but I don't think so. We already know how that turns out. No, something different will happen here. I think the most likely possibility, as Viking mentioned, is that Lucy won't want to date anyone for a while. Instead she will just reach out to her other friends and have fun with them. This could potentially come across as a tease to Paulo though.

Most of the cast still don't know what happened between Mike and Lucy in "December". Will the story come out when (if) she arrives at the party, or will Paulo at the least still be left wondering? If it does come out though, Daisy may be rather surprised to learn that Lucy has given up on Mike, in which case, the only thing standing between her and her Mikie would be Sandy. Recall that Daisy holds somewhat of a grudge against Sandy, for forgetting about their friendship and not even telling her that she was moving away. It's possible Daisy could make a move on Mike, if she felt vindictive enough, but I think that may still have to wait for a time when Mike and Sandy are forced to break up.

If Lucy does come to the party, she and Mike may well avoid each other. Then questions may be asked, if their friends notice a distinct coolness between them.
  • #162

Taeshi does enjoy her weekend cliff hangers.

I wonder if she'll show up in the next page as he's about to say her name.
  • #163

This page is interesting, last we saw Paulo he still wasn't REALLY sure what his feelings were, he knew he was sliding towards Lucy - while knowing he had something good with Jasmine, but he seems to have figured it out what he actually wants (or what he thinks he wants...)

Though he's incredibly blunt about his feelings regarding Jasmine, there's no hesitation in his answer to if it was the same feeling he had with Tess, though I'm sure it makes him feel terrible to have to admit that. Tess seems a little hurt too, maybe hoping somewhere deep down Paulo might chase after her, but I think that boat has pretty much sailed at this point.

I suspect it's more likely Jasmine will show up right as Tess asks who the other girl is, none the wiser about anything. Paulo has a certain sense of duty about himself, he'll want to do the break up in person rather than breaking up with Jazz on the phone or what-have-you. Because she's owed that much in the very least

It's her fault for pulling the "YOU NEED TO LIVE LIFE, I'M TOO OLD FOR YOU" card many chapters ago.
  • #165

Well, one apparent similarity to "Another Path" could be that Lucy denies Paulo a date, no matter how much he tries to change her mind. However, this time there is a significant difference in that Lucy has gotten a very serious grasp on the consequences of her issues. I think she's likely to avoid repeating the mistake of transferring her dependency onto someone.

If Lucy reveals she has given up on Mike, it could indeed have effect on Daisy. Sandy was primarily the reason Daisy gave up on Mike, but with Lucy out of the picture, Daisy could start to get funny ideas. I don't think she would jeopardize her friendship with Mike, but in an event Mike's relationship with Sandy comes to an end, Daisy could potentially try make a move.

Mike and Sandy did work out in "Another Path". It's just that it really feels like this isn't going to be the case in the default timeline. There are a few speculations on how (and why) they would break up, but also knowing it can actually work out, it makes the matter puzzling. On top of that could also the aftermath vary depending on how early it would happen.

Paulo is Lucy's participation trophy in terms of romantic failure.
  • #167

Paulo's confession will at least not be based on scenario there he took advantage of Lucy when she was in a manic-depressive state.
  • #168

Paulo's entire romantic relationship with Lucy is based upon cries over Mike
  • #169

Why would Tess ask "Do you love her more than me?" I don't think Paulo's loved her since Acapulco. That's quite a big stretch of time.

I don't think anything is more appropriate than the fact Ace's ship is sinking fast and tragically.

That doesn't happen until Paulo finally tells her to fuck off because he likes white girls.

Hey now Jerk I've known this ship was sinking faster than a snitch with concrete shoes for a loooooong time. Personally I don't really care about Paulo, its Jazzy staying in the comic that matters to me.

I'm a little surprised Tess isn't more curious as to who Paulo's new love interest is. But maybe she already suspects? (Edit: Yup, she knows.) In any case, she gives good advice.

I believe the intended meaning of the question is "Do you love her more than you did me when we were still dating?"

My main theory in the past was that Sandy's mom would force a breakup after she found out that her daughter was in a secret long-distance relationship with Mike. However, it's pretty clear on this page that Sandy's mom is aware that Mike is Sandy's boyfriend. So unless she suddenly decides the relationship isn't in Sandy's best interests, I don't see how or why a breakup would occur. Mike and Sandy are currently quite happy with each other, and I do wish them well.

Considering how Tess reaction was in Back and Forth, I also wondered if she could have tried dissuade Paulo from making a move on Lucy. After all, it's not like Lucy reciprocates when Paulo hits on her. Tess has also shown a fondness of Lucy being together with Mike, seeing Sandy more like a barrier. On the other hand, Tess being aware of Paulo's attraction for Lucy would make Tess supportive of Paulo's search of his own true happiness. Logically would it mean a chance for Lucy to be happy too, solving most of the drama issues.

wacko said:

Well, my interpretation of Sandy's mother is that she doesn't see the relationship to be in Sandy's best interests. She merely sees it as a distraction. The only reason it doesn't get terminated could very well be due to the risk of making her heartbroken daughter perform even worse. Unless there is some butterfly effect involved in "Another Path", I can't however see any factor developed on Sandy's side that would end the relationship. In Mike's case was Lucy the only girl that ever had a chance with him, but she completely blew that with her tsun tsun. I'm neither able to see a concrete reason why this healthy relationship would fail only because of some misunderstanding or assumption. A breakup would nevertheless be a goldmine story wise when it comes to drama. If it happens, I will be very interested in finding out how it happens, as there is really no predictable reason.

I agree whith this.

Paulo became a man this year because he pulled his head out his ass and made a decision to stop playing around and make a choce and go for serious dating again. He saw how lucy was so hopefully he will do what he wanted to do from the first time he saw her.

I'll bite: how do you know she'll continue to appear in the comic following the breakup? Did you receive... assurances from Taeshi? :P

Disaster Dominoes, page 29.
  • #190

I will flip my shit if Disaster Dominoes ends up being canon. But only slightly in a bad way, I would probably be laughing to hard to truly be upset but let's be honest, we know its not gonna end like that unfortunately. Talk about making BCB a Shoot the Shaggy Dog story if it did happen.

I believes that's merely a projection that only exists in David's head. I've never been into Final Fantasy myself though, so I can't really judge what FF fans might think of Augustus appearance.

How could that be Lucy? Wasn't she at home with her siblings and mother? (also, why wasn't her dad there, are her parents divorced?)

No, I think that'll be someone else... But everyone s accounted for except Jazmine and she's not really the suicidal type.
  • #199

Augustus's fan name use to be Final Fantasy Cat so.... yeah he reminds people of a FF character I would say. I don't actually think he was named in comic till December and up until then you could still find a few people who only referred to him as FF Cat in the comments section. Heck there might be a few people who still do if you look.
