HOW THE FUUUUUUUCK, SARAH, I WAS LITERALLY STARTING TO OUTLINE A "WEBCOMICS I LIKE THAT PEOPLE SHOULD READ POST" BECAUSE IN 2013 I DO WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT IT, AND THEN I SAW THIS AND "RAY CHARLES" BY CHIDDY BANG WAS PLAYING AND IN THIS MOMENT I SWEAR WE ARE INFINITE? YOU ARE A FREAKISH MIND-READER MUTANT LIKE PROFESSOR XAVIER AND I LOVE YOU LIKE HE LOVES MAGNETO AND ALSO LEADING AMERICA'S YOUTH ALONG THE PATH OF GOOD AND JUSTICE? I AM TWICE AS SERIOUS AS ANY HUMAN HAS EVER BEEN.
CLEARLY YOU INCEPTED ME FROM HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY, B. DO YOU THINK OUR COMBINED EFFORTS WILL ACTUALLY BE ENOUGH OF A ONE-TWO PUNCH TO MAKE PEOPLE SCREAM AT US ABOUT THIS?
ALSO what are your other webcomics TELL ME MORE IS THERE MORE BEAUTY? I used to read an ABSOLUTE SHITLOAD of webcomics in high school but then Queen of Wands ended and I angrily quit everything else with an ongoing plot [CORRECTION I didn't have the strength to angrily quit Friendly Hostility BUT I WISH I HAD] at one point or another so now besides Bad Machinery I mainly only read non-continuity comics. OH BUT STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST IS PRETTY COOL only I liked the first arc SO MUCH compared to the mildly confused interest I had in the second and now the third?
OH ALSO I MEANT TO SAY I GOT THE MURDER SHE WRITES BOOKLET FOR CHRISTMAS AND IT WAS AMAZING, DUH OBVIOUSLY I WAS GOING TO LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF A STORY ABOUT CHARLOTTE SOLVING MURDERS, but I also got Giant Days, HAVE YOU FUCKING SEEN GIANT DAYS? It's not connected to anything at all except through the shared IMPOSSIBLE LEVELS OF AWESOMENESS and fhjdksagfhrjklghfkgj I want more of it forever.
What also kills me dead about BM is these little nothing asides you get about everyone and how that colors everything you thought/think you know about the characters. Like, UGH JESUS, like the recent flashback to where we learn Lottie's dad died and "DON'T YOU EVER STOP MAKING A NOISE, CHARLOTTE GROTE" and how Shauna's stepdad looks out for her when she's getting bullied by Kelly from Misfits and you sort of get the impression that her old family/living situation was really bleak (Mrs. Biscuits was nice to her and her mom! They needed help and niceness from a broke old Russian lady-monster! SHE GAVE THEM BISCUITS SO SHE CALLED HER MRS. BISCUITS) but she's so determined and so SMART and she's a champ swimmer and UGHHHHHHHHHHH, GIRLS!!!! And Mildred! I LOVE MILDRED SO MUCH, shooting up illegal chocolate and trying to rebel but doing it all backwards because she was raised by hippies! IDK, NOW I'M JUST LISTING THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THESE PEOPLE AND I DON'T EVEN CARE! "IS THIS A DRILL?" "THE SHED IS ON FIRE. WE TRY TO MAKE EXCEPTIONS

(YOU ALSO HAVE TO IMAGINE ME BEING ABLE TO USE MY MEG/FISHSTICKS ICON - LJ WON'T LET ME CHANGE ICONS EITHER, IT'S GREAT, I LOVE IT, I'VE BEEN MEANING TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE DO WITH LESS BECAUSE I LIKE THE INTERNET TO FEEL LIKE A RUSSIAN VILLAGE SURROUNDED BY EMPTY FIELDS AND CROWS - BUT IF I WAS, YOU COULD RESPOND WITH YOUR BATMAN HORROR FACE ICONS AND IT WOULD READ LIKE A REACTION SHOT!)
THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INFO GRAPHIC WITH REGARDS TO "AVENGE ME, ENERGY CROW!!!!!!!!!!!!" AND BRUCE WAYNE'S PARENTS BEING DEAD.
I LOVE THIS COMMENT BECAUSE DUH BUT I ALSO HATE THIS COMMENT BECAUSE IT MAKES ME WANT TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT REREADING THE ENTIRE COMIC? MAYBE TWICE? Fuck, though, "don't you ever stop making a noise" was DEVASTATING and REALITY-SHIFTING, I think I was at work when I read it and I was just like OH DEAD LORD DON'T MAKE A NOISE DON'T LET ANYONE KNOW YOU'RE FALLING APART OVER A FICTIONAL CHILD'S FICTIONAL GRIEF AND TRAUMA
