Veronica: God I love Stacy in this, there’s something about being obliviously mean that makes me laugh. She’s not trying to be mean!!! It’s just business!

I seem to like that personality trait a lot, it’s a trait that Daisy also shares. And Sandy! Though the degree of unintentional cruelty varies.

As someone who's always super struggled with the sorts of social cues of knowing when I'm supposed to stop pushing or being 'embarrassing', especially when I was a teen, this storyline's really making me feel for Sue. Really enjoying it so far!

Yeah, of course she did. I kinda find it hard to believe Sue doesn't know about how social appearances work, but I'll let that slide. As I said last time, Stacy, you should have told Sue about this to avoid this kind of thing. But letting someone tell your friend they're a loser isn't cool either, even if you have to keep appearances. Ah, Stacy, I have a feeling you're going to have to make a choice soon...

Ouch, last page was funny in just the overdramaticness of it (only the best for Sue) but it seems both parties genuinely can't understand why the other acted that way. They're both kind of in the wrong here but since this was promised as a lighter chapter I'm hopeful that the resolution will be sweet.

Literally, I said this two pages ago; If sue had just asked about it privately, this probably would be less awkward for all involved. Sometimes folks just DO NOT want to mix private and public personas, and that's just how it do be. Who you are at work, isn't who you are at home.

It's one thing to have your online life separate from IRL socializing, but I think what stings here is that Stacy was openly blasé about Katie calling Sue a loser. Didn't bat an eye, made no attempt to stand up for a friend/classmate. That hurts!
