Belkar hate

[D.One]

All this discussion about Belkar mating habits, only because lots of people can't see two characters in the same frame without saying

"WOW! LET'S SHIP'EM!"

This is especially bizarre because nobody actually shipped Belkar and Julia, IIRC. People were just talking about the various intricacies of what was or was not a valid reason to date him.

What I take away from this is that people on this forum (me included) will happily dissect anything, no matter how disgusting. Even a leprous half-fiend half-orc undead frog, probably.

Nope, not even that is needed. A female character saying she doesn’t know a male one is all it takes.

You recall incorrectly.

I was thinking Julia may fall for the Sexy Shoeless God of War

I remain unconvinced the female character even needs to say anything.

The scene was obviously just a gag to let readers know that Belkar was still a jerk and hadn't become a great person just because of his vision quest. I think people are overthinking it.

The italicized part is a characteristic of OoTS forum discussions. That and Star Wars and quataloos. Edit: I just noticed D. One's observation about 'shipping ... yeah, that too.

I believe Laurin's facial expression meaning she wants sex or something with Tarquin proved that.

1. Which strip? 2. *scratching my head* (was this when a favor was being called in?)

[CriticalFailure]

Can I sig this?

Sure no problem!

It was the favor thing, yeah, whenever its pointed out how ridiculous the "Laurin's favor is something something sex marriage Tarquin?" theory was I see someone saying it was her facial expression that made them think it, I don't understand it, but we are nonsense,

Thanks for the reminder. I hope no one else joined in that particular sentiment.

Never even crossed my mind. OK, thanks for explaining that, and we'll leave it at "nonsense" ...

I believe Laurin's facial expression meaning she wants sex or something with Tarquin proved that.

Particularly that she would need to use a favor for it. She would probably only need to ask politely. Or impolitely.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Tarquin was only interested in younger women.

Good point. There could also be some sort of rule about inter-Legion relations not being allowed to keep operations going smoothly.

As I recall, at the time there was at least one proponent of the theory that Laurin's favor was going to be something involving Julio becoming her sex slave, based solely on the comment about having had a poster of him.

Actually, I think that was what led to the Giant stating that he'd deliberately tried to make Laurin as unsexualized as possible as a female character? I imagine that was in exasperated tones.

I believe that was in result to something about Haley's possible Favored Enemy (Airborne Tramp) playing a role, despite the fact that Laurin had never flown, and was completely unsexualized.
