Okay, the thriller vibe with that second panel is nice.

The bubbles of doom Mike has are even visible to Augustus- I hope both of them can have nice conversation without causing any more problems :‘)

“Wait, but I don’t wanna feel bad for Mike” -Augustus, probably

Even Augustus is alittle concerned about Mike’s health. Its getting bad folks

A well-documented occurrence in cats is ‘displaced aggression’. When a cat is stressed by a source it cannot directly retaliate against, such as another cat behind a glass door, it will instead direct its hostility towards something it can reach.

Stay tuned as the Lucy-betrayed Augustus displays this behavior in the comics to come, featuring Mike!

“After school, then” the hell do you think you can make her DO? you already know she can and will just stop talking to you if you pry too hard, and getting Carol involved would just trigger another passive-aggressive-off where nothing actually happens

Augustus and Lucy don’t have any right to get involved in intervening with Mike. Not when they were the ones who helped push him off the ledge.

Lucy is an actual sociopath, like unironically, I get Mike did stuff that was incredibly messed up, but she has no right to do any of the crap she’s doing right now, PLEASE GODS! Smite this monster!

BCB is BCB, but damn if it isn’t difficult to see how she justifies acting like this.

A sociopath for ribbing her best friend?

Um, excuse you?

This is basically a mirror to that time Mike grabbed her, kissed her, and not a few hours later went back to his gf without updating Lucy on that.

This hug is not as bad as that kiss was.

Lucy hugged him and almost right away realized it was wrong, backed away and said sorry.

The fact that she seems childish now could be her way of coping with her mistake..

Calling a teenager a sociopath and a monster who should get smitten for being mentally unwell and handling things in a very immature and, yes, harmful way is truly a choice.

Also, I’m not saying that her poor mental health or age excuses anything, but they explain the lack of maturity and capability to handle things in a way an adult would. Why are we villainizing any of these kids for being (traumatized) children

Those are actually really good points, I’ve been rereading the comic to put things into a little better perspective as of late, but still, you can’t say that wasn’t absolutely nuts on her part ya know?

Augs reflecting on his actions?

No, he’s definitely going to blame the beasts.

I don’t really know what she’s trying to achieve in the second panel. Making the one guy who unconditionally has your back and prioritises your mental health above all else become exasperated with your antics is not exactly the smartest move.

I’m hoping we repeat Burnt Bridges and have Augustus actually ask Mike for his side of the story, but I don’t think it’ll happen. I don’t think Augustus will physically attack Mike, like some others seem to think he will. If anything negative happens it’ll be him finding the right words to crush Mike further somehow, that’s the Auggie WayTM. Augustus doesn’t really get physical, he lets others do that so they get in trouble instead lol

Kind of crappy, Lucy…

Glomming on to Daisy specifically so Agustus can’t interfere is diabolical lmao Lucy please

Lucy is literally being playful with Augustus in panel 2, just like how he’d playfully rib her. They’re comfortable with each other enough to push each other’s buttons a little bit sometimes.

Augustus at the end is perplexed by Mike coming inside and looking so dazed. He might approach him neutrally to see what’s going on (since he’s actually a pretty caring person), but I doubt he’ll be cruel.

Lucy just needs some people she can let her guard down around so she can enjoy being a more light hearted teen.

1. The look on Lucy’s face had me 😆

2. Maybe Augustus won’t beat Mike’s ass.

Augustus will now apologise to Mike saying that maybe he had a point about Lucy

Augustus: *Sees Mike and his Bubbles of Doom*

Why hello there…

Augustus: Who are you!?

The consequences of your actions…
