During out freshman year, one of my friend’s roommates (she went in blind and was in a quad) decided to have sex with her boyfriend on the top bunk while my friend was on the lower bunk trying to sleep.
My freshmen year saw me waking up one early morning, getting up to the bathroom, and literally tripping over my roommate’s friend and his new girlwhirl. They had snuck into my room since the couch was occupied, had sexy times, and went to sleep. Me, not knowing any of this, stepped on one of them, lost balance, and tripped over. Cue unpleasant experience and irritated reactions from all three of us.
I had the less sexy version of that. Military exercise and some ass went to sleep in front of the entrance to the sleeping tent. c. 0330 hrs and I try and move in quietly, and planted my boot right in their kidney. I turned around and went and slept by my truck. Win for me though. They didn’t wake me at reveille, and I slept until I _just_ caught breakfast. “Where were you soldier?” “At my truck sir.”
Note to self: become billionaire in order to commission picture of Joyce trying on a Megan Thee Stallion outfit while absolutely dying from embarrassment.
You know, with the zillion Sonic OCs in the universe, it occurs to me that there’s a non-zero chance that someone made a “Megan the Stallion” at some point, years before anyone ever heard of the artist.
The Doctor: Can I borrow your horse, please? It’s official marshal business.
The Preacher: He’s called Joshua. It’s from the Bible. It means ‘The Deliverer.’
The Doctor: No, he isn’t.
The Preacher: What?
The Doctor: I speak horse. He’s called Susan. And he wants you to respect his life choices.
Now I’m not saying it’s not possible, but either that OC creator needs some biology lessons, or (OC) Megan’s like Susan, there.
Knowing what I know of the internet, probably the latter.
It’s not. I always pronounce it “thee”– like in the line “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”– but I think it’s just supposed to be pronounced as a regular “the.”
ah ha! yes! ok, so megan is welsh and is a diminutive of margaret. which is latin for pearl. which is a homophone with purl, a kind of stitch in crochet. and the verb used to make a purl stitch would be purl. so therefore, you are either telling a horse, or someone you feel resembles a horse, to go crochet something, or you’ll beat them up
I like to interpret it as “Megan, thee stallion,” like “Megan, you stallion!” Like how someone might say, “Jared, you dog!” Or something. “Soos, you rapscallion!”
IIRC it was also petty revenge because it happened after the brunch with Raidah?
(I don’t doubt that Walky let it happen, though, rather than suggesting any alternatives, like seeing if Booster would be more amenable to being kicked out.)
The people responsible for Walky not having sex, most responsible first:
1. Walky
2. Society
3. Walky
4. Lucy
5. Dorothy (in a quantum weather butterfly sort of way)
cool goalposts. can’t wait to see the strips where Jennifer has sexiled Lucy or Sal out of their room at 2 am on schoolnight.
The reason Walky and Lucy didn’t have sex was because Walky always found an excuse not to have sex with her. If Jennifer hadn’t been there, presumably to grumble half-asleep that she wasn’t leaving, Walky would have blamed an upset stomach from all the pancakes he’d eaten to put off going home with Lucy.
There’s no indication that Jennifer was just sitting up awake and alert only refusing to leave the room just to amuse herself.
I feel like Jennifer gets mischaracterized by readers a lot. She’s narcissistic and petty sure, but she’s never really cruel, even to Walky. If it weren’t so early she’d likely clear out so Lucy could smash. She doesn’t seem to be impeding her and Jacob’s sexual activity. Also in this comic people regularly boot their roommates out as a physical gag when they’re horny. Lucy has done this too. So where is the line we’re drawing on sexile etiquette?
And for myself, the part I take issue with is the idea that leaving your bedroom at 2 in the morning so people can bang is “common courtesy”. I would tend to call that “uncommon courtesy” and also well within her rights.
Yeah, like Jennifer might (*might*) expect that from Lucy if the situation were reversed, but that would be unreasonable on her part. And if she had done that in the past to Lucy and wouldn’t do that for her now, Lucy might have a point with going, “I did this for you,” but… none of that happened.
For real though, it’s very faux pas to be having so much sex that it disrupts your shared living space. If you don’t have your own house or apartment, sometimes you don’t get to have sex when you want, because the people living with you should not be forced to deal with that.
I feel like folks will side against Jen on this, but at this point it is starting to skirt on being a bit rude. I wouldn’t enjoy the feeling of a couple constantly going at it in our shared space. Maybe that makes me uncool.
people will still blame Jennifer for being upset at Lucy for this somehow. The comment turn hostile to Jennifer and Sarah when Lucy is around for some reason.
I don’t blame Jennifer for being upset, I just think it is very funny that she gets sexiled due to how she been acting lately and I am happy for Lucy and Jacob so I don’t really care.
This also implies Jacob isn’t holding up his end of the sexiling quota. Kick Ethan out every now and then, let untrustworthy Asher have to kick his hypothetical roommate out if he wants to fuck. It’s all part of the sex chain of life.
Maybe they’re just fucking a lot? The ratio still seems lopsided. Maybe it’s the difference between having two sexually active couples in one dorm versus just one.
Good lord, the reaction Joyce will have the moment she hears WAP from Megan Thee Stallion would be comedy gold. It’d probably break the poor girl. But still… comedy gold.
(Sorry, clicked report when I meant to reply.)
Yep, I’m making popcorn for that one. I’m a former homeschooler from much the same background as Joyce. And yes, I know that song exists and I think it’s hilarious that a local vigilante was blaring it over a loudspeaker at one of Doug Wilson’s pandemic germ fest rallies. IYKYK
Joyce holding a notepad on her hand while going “how does that make you feel” gives such adorable “therapist” vibes :’33
………… so it’s no wonder Jennifer is refusing to elaborate sldkgjs homegirl is allergic to actually working on herself. Come on, you know you wanna complain about this! Take the chance!
It’s adorable in a puppy-falling-over-its-feet kinda way. Hopefully Joyce figures out how to be a friend in ways that are less “therapist” and more actually friend-like.
I think that atleast it might give Jennifer a more healthy reference for how friendship is supposed to work (reciprocal care). Hopefully by the end she will atleast be able to spot the users who only care about what she can do for them.
When Alice finally does show up (or worse, RAIDAH; or worse, ALICE WITH RAIDAH), shit is going to get ugly.
Yes, I know Raidah’s a fucking dick-idiot, but Alice doesn’t seem like the type to notice until it’s WAY too late (she told Billie the drunken car crash wasn’t so bad, after all).
Was Alice saying the car crash wasn’t so bad in a patron strip? everything I recall was her saying how awful it was that Billie acted like it was no big deal.
Speaking of couples doing stuff I wonder how much of Dina’s suit is left intact right now? And is Becky’s mouth full of necktie and shirt buttons chewing through it?
I don’t think the gals can afford to wreck many more clothes in lustful frenzy, but it would be pretty funny. “Becky that suit cost seven thousand dollars.” “I can fix it, I watched my mom sew dozens of times!”
Honestly get the tailoring even if ya don’t think you need it. It makes one helluva difference especially if you plan on wearing the suit in full for long periods of the day. Fitted stuff just feels more comfortable and does help clothes last longer than just settling for off the rack stuff.
Learned some basics of this making cosplays. Going that extra bit does more than what we give credit for.
I wouldn’t trust a suit that cost that cheap to not just fall apart as ya put it on. Cheapest but still reliable ones I’ve had to wear still ran me bout $160 after discounts.
I had a therapist once (in a clinic, i didn’t pick him) who, after you said how you feel, “But how did you feel?” and i was like uhhh was my previous feeling incorrect? What else is he expecting??
I don’t think he was a great therapist (for several reasons)
Sometimes people will have opinions on what qualifies as a feeling or saying how you feel. I’ve been annoyed with people who’ve wanted me to state things very plainly in their language to “get credit” for naming a feeling.
I can’t trust a therapist who’s a man. They’ve all been weirdly competitive about the whole thing, like they were trying to speedrun the process of my therapy. Filling in blanks that didn’t exist, rephrasing things to better fit the airport self-help book they were obviously writing on the side, the whole nine yards. That or they’d get overly familiar, like we were just bros talkin’ about stuff, which is just as unhelpful. On the opposite hand, every woman therapist I’ve talked to at least makes it clear she’s doing her job and wants to be doing it, and if a visit has been short, it’s nearly always been because we just didn’t have much to cover that time.
I’ve known men who are therapists on a personal level who seem great, but of the two I’ve interacted as an individual client, both were weird about sexual assault. (First one– history of it came up during intake, he went, “Are you over it?” Second one, I was explaining my rubber awareness bracelet that said “no excuses” as meaning there are no excuses for sexual assault, and he said, “Do you really believe that?” Me: “…yes.” Him: “Hm.”)
So I’m sure there are great therapists out there who are men, but if I’m looking for a therapist, probably not going with a man myself.
But also: holy heckin’ yikes on bikes, Yumi, I’m so sorry.
(Earlier I had this completely innocent train of thought like, “hm, yeah, I can see where a male therapist talking to male clients and female therapist talking to female clients might be a little less on guard, because there are fewer negative consequences for them, professionally, for being too friendly with a client they might assume could never be romantically interested in them.”
And now I am just. grimacing and sighing and again being grateful that for all the types of bad therapist I’ve had, it’s never been in that way.)

You sure like to keep digging, Billiefer
grated, as cheese
It ain’t easy bein’ cheesy.
Too Gouda for this world, too Provalone
But, is it micro-plane grated? Cuz that shit really hurts.
Probably more coarsely grated. Rough edged like the rest of her.
Jennifer is as a fine parmesan.
Grated huh?
Let’s just hope this interaction don’t get too cheesy :p
Ooh, that’s a gouda pun XD
Billie is definitely not gruntled.
Whose grundle? How did we get onto the topic of grundles?
…Although, as she’s not getting much action lately, she probably is NOT grundled…
Not to be confused with “grateful”.
Which clearly means “full of grates.” Like a sewer. Or a Batman-friendly ventilation system.
There should be dedicated sex areas so no one grates their roommates with non stop boning.
During out freshman year, one of my friend’s roommates (she went in blind and was in a quad) decided to have sex with her boyfriend on the top bunk while my friend was on the lower bunk trying to sleep.
My friend managed to get a room transfer.
I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t quote How I Met Your Mother here:
“It’s basic physics, Marshall, when the bottom bunk moves the top bunk moves too”
My freshmen year saw me waking up one early morning, getting up to the bathroom, and literally tripping over my roommate’s friend and his new girlwhirl. They had snuck into my room since the couch was occupied, had sexy times, and went to sleep. Me, not knowing any of this, stepped on one of them, lost balance, and tripped over. Cue unpleasant experience and irritated reactions from all three of us.
They brought you upon themselves.
I had the less sexy version of that. Military exercise and some ass went to sleep in front of the entrance to the sleeping tent. c. 0330 hrs and I try and move in quietly, and planted my boot right in their kidney. I turned around and went and slept by my truck. Win for me though. They didn’t wake me at reveille, and I slept until I _just_ caught breakfast. “Where were you soldier?” “At my truck sir.”
“Technically correct” is the best kind of correct when reporting to superiors.
I could see Roz organizing one of these. With free condoms and STI education.
Not grate I imagine
Megan thee Stallion is probably the artist on that list that would get the funniest reaction out of Joyce
Note to self: become billionaire in order to commission picture of Joyce trying on a Megan Thee Stallion outfit while absolutely dying from embarrassment.
Indeed! bites lip
LMAO
I, meanwhile, am discovering Chappell Roan and wondering why I never heard about her before. She’s exactly the shit I love to sing.
She only really broke into the mainstream like a year ago
Hopefully they’re airing out the room at least!
Between them, Amber, and Dina, it’s Stinking of Age.
Tags are off. Joe is tagged but Jennifer is not. Joyce, however, is eternal
Jennifer isn’t here right now.
Megan the Stallion, like Sonic the Hedgehog?
You know, with the zillion Sonic OCs in the universe, it occurs to me that there’s a non-zero chance that someone made a “Megan the Stallion” at some point, years before anyone ever heard of the artist.
How dare. That’s her fursona
The Doctor: Can I borrow your horse, please? It’s official marshal business.
The Preacher: He’s called Joshua. It’s from the Bible. It means ‘The Deliverer.’
The Doctor: No, he isn’t.
The Preacher: What?
The Doctor: I speak horse. He’s called Susan. And he wants you to respect his life choices.
Now I’m not saying it’s not possible, but either that OC creator needs some biology lessons, or (OC) Megan’s like Susan, there.
Knowing what I know of the internet, probably the latter.
It’s pronounced Thy or Thigh. I’m pretty sure it’s one of theese.
That makes no sense.
You can look up clips of her saying her own name, this is demonstrably not true.
It’s not. I always pronounce it “thee”– like in the line “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”– but I think it’s just supposed to be pronounced as a regular “the.”
Nonono, it’s just missing a comma. You see, when you hate a stallion, you say “megan thee, stallion, lest I should kick thine arse!”
so megan is the verb?
ah ha! yes! ok, so megan is welsh and is a diminutive of margaret. which is latin for pearl. which is a homophone with purl, a kind of stitch in crochet. and the verb used to make a purl stitch would be purl. so therefore, you are either telling a horse, or someone you feel resembles a horse, to go crochet something, or you’ll beat them up
I like to interpret it as “Megan, thee stallion,” like “Megan, you stallion!” Like how someone might say, “Jared, you dog!” Or something. “Soos, you rapscallion!”
Assert dominance by staying in the room while they fuck, and criticize their performance.
I have a terrible suspicion that would end with, “… Shit, how are you two better at this than I am?”
“Damn, I didn’t know my roomie could move like that.” [Furious note-taking]
“That’s a good pose. Please hold still. I can’t sketch that fast.”
(joyce knows she needs life drawing practice because all campus newspaper comic artists eventually produce r-rated slipshiny stuff. it’s in the regs.)
Jennifer blocked Walky and Lucy from having sex just to amuse herself.
She deserves everything that happens to her for that.
That was actually doing Walky a favor. They weren’t likely to have sex that night anyway since Walkman was uncomfortable with it.
IIRC it was also petty revenge because it happened after the brunch with Raidah?
(I don’t doubt that Walky let it happen, though, rather than suggesting any alternatives, like seeing if Booster would be more amenable to being kicked out.)
The people responsible for Walky not having sex, most responsible first:
1. Walky
2. Society
3. Walky
4. Lucy
5. Dorothy (in a quantum weather butterfly sort of way)
it is entirely reasonable not to be kicked out of her own room at 2 am. that’s not “just to amuse herself”.
Yes, it is because Jennifer would absolutely expect the same.
cool goalposts. can’t wait to see the strips where Jennifer has sexiled Lucy or Sal out of their room at 2 am on schoolnight.

Also in this comic people regularly boot their roommates out as a physical gag when they’re horny. Lucy has done this too. So where is the line we’re drawing on sexile etiquette?
It’s not a goal post to point out Jennifer not doing what she’d expect in return is common courtesy.
But you didn’t say that. You’re just adding random sentences that are barely related to one another, without including the bridges connect them.
“Jennifer blocked Walky and Lucy from having sex just to amuse herself.”
I think the part in bold is the part everyone is discussing.
And for myself, the part I take issue with is the idea that leaving your bedroom at 2 in the morning so people can bang is “common courtesy”. I would tend to call that “uncommon courtesy” and also well within her rights.
Yeah, like Jennifer might (*might*) expect that from Lucy if the situation were reversed, but that would be unreasonable on her part. And if she had done that in the past to Lucy and wouldn’t do that for her now, Lucy might have a point with going, “I did this for you,” but… none of that happened.

I don’t blame Jennifer for being upset, I just think it is very funny that she gets sexiled due to how she been acting lately and I am happy for Lucy and Jacob so I don’t really care.
Proper response, IMNSHO, is to stay in the room, and to give very audible and increasingly unkind critiques on performance, etc.
This also implies Jacob isn’t holding up his end of the sexiling quota. Kick Ethan out every now and then, let untrustworthy Asher have to kick his hypothetical roommate out if he wants to fuck. It’s all part of the sex chain of life.
Maybe Lucy and Jacob are boning in both rooms simultaneously.
Schrodinger’s fuck
Yes!
It’s how quantum sex entanglement works. Have sex until the superposition collapses (from exhaustion).
Ethan and Asher are sexiling Jacob.
It seems like they did at least kick Ethan out at least once.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2024/comic/book-15/01-love-dares-you-to-change/resentful/
Maybe they’re just fucking a lot? The ratio still seems lopsided. Maybe it’s the difference between having two sexually active couples in one dorm versus just one.
Tbf Lucy and Jacob have also only been together for like 2 days
Everyone knows the boyfriend’s room is saved for the third date
That’s not what I would assume “sex chain of life” meant.
Jennifer was hoping to get some grating of her own……
Good lord, the reaction Joyce will have the moment she hears WAP from Megan Thee Stallion would be comedy gold. It’d probably break the poor girl. But still… comedy gold.
I suspect she’ll find it aspirational.
(Sorry, clicked report when I meant to reply.)
Yep, I’m making popcorn for that one. I’m a former homeschooler from much the same background as Joyce. And yes, I know that song exists and I think it’s hilarious that a local vigilante was blaring it over a loudspeaker at one of Doug Wilson’s pandemic germ fest rallies. IYKYK
She’s being taken for grated.
I predict that Joyce will watch the forbidden Disney Channel and thus have her first exposure to Megan Thee Stallion be She-Hulk.
…
Just me?
I WANT TO SEE IT.
So, you’re saying you’re…grateful?
Joyce holding a notepad on her hand while going “how does that make you feel” gives such adorable “therapist” vibes :’33
………… so it’s no wonder Jennifer is refusing to elaborate sldkgjs homegirl is allergic to actually working on herself. Come on, you know you wanna complain about this! Take the chance!
It’s adorable in a puppy-falling-over-its-feet kinda way. Hopefully Joyce figures out how to be a friend in ways that are less “therapist” and more actually friend-like.
I mean, she did kinda already say with the “grating” part, but I get what Joyce is going for.
God please let Joyce’s sincere attempts break down Jennifer’s absolutely shitty personality, behaviour and overall way of being
I think that atleast it might give Jennifer a more healthy reference for how friendship is supposed to work (reciprocal care). Hopefully by the end she will atleast be able to spot the users who only care about what she can do for them.
Yessss Jennifer, real friends care about you and how you’re doing. They don’t act like Raidah
I’m really enjoying all the grating puns in the comments. Keep ot ip, guys, they’re grate
We mesh well together.
Some are Cheddar than others, but these are pretty Gouda.
But don’t you get Feta up with them after a while?
Whey to go. Don’t get me (cheese maker) started on cheese puns!
We have a zest for punning.
Hey, that’s a real and genuine feeling from her! It’s working!
That’s just grate
Can’t believe i didn’t think of that one goddammit
Jennifer, this friendship attempt is falling down the storm drain.
I guess you could say grate minds think alike.
We are off to a grate start!
She’s
finegrate!I assume they’re not boning constantly. They have to take breaks to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom occasionally.
Skill issue.
It’s called multi-tasking.
I mean I ain’t gonna kink shame if they into all that,
but still, DAMN XD
They both don’t have to be there at the same time for the boning. She’s obviously talking about cleaning fish.
You can see in panel 3 Jennifer is not accustomed to being asked about her happs.
When Alice finally does show up (or worse, RAIDAH; or worse, ALICE WITH RAIDAH), shit is going to get ugly.
Yes, I know Raidah’s a fucking dick-idiot, but Alice doesn’t seem like the type to notice until it’s WAY too late (she told Billie the drunken car crash wasn’t so bad, after all).
Was Alice saying the car crash wasn’t so bad in a patron strip? everything I recall was her saying how awful it was that Billie acted like it was no big deal.
Oh yeah, that’s right.
Your fanfic isn’t canon.
other people are allowed to have opinions, Taffy.
“she told Billie the drunken car crash wasn’t so bad, after all” isn’t a fucking opinion
Speaking of couples doing stuff I wonder how much of Dina’s suit is left intact right now? And is Becky’s mouth full of necktie and shirt buttons chewing through it?
I don’t think the gals can afford to wreck many more clothes in lustful frenzy, but it would be pretty funny. “Becky that suit cost seven thousand dollars.” “I can fix it, I watched my mom sew dozens of times!”
Ideally, that suit cost about $40-50. Anything more gets into either label or quality, both of which are unnecessary for Dina at this time.
I agree that it would be ideal. I’m incredibly envious though of her for being able to find a suit at that price point that actually fits her.
I would LOVE to wear “men’s” clothes, but I am not of a shape where that doesn’t require tailoring.
Honestly get the tailoring even if ya don’t think you need it. It makes one helluva difference especially if you plan on wearing the suit in full for long periods of the day. Fitted stuff just feels more comfortable and does help clothes last longer than just settling for off the rack stuff.
Learned some basics of this making cosplays. Going that extra bit does more than what we give credit for.
I know, but my point was that I can’t afford it, friend.
I wouldn’t trust a suit that cost that cheap to not just fall apart as ya put it on. Cheapest but still reliable ones I’ve had to wear still ran me bout $160 after discounts.
I think in Dina’s case you may be confusing a real suit and a costume that mostly exists to be torn off her by her hornt girlfriend.
For the latter, “falls apart” is fine. Maybe even a bonus.
Becky: “I can fix it”
Cuts over to Becky at Robin’s place asking if she can get ahold of her tailor
“What are you doing?”
“I’m caring about your feelings”
“Stop that!”
“My feelings? In THIS economy?!”
“Yes, your feelings. As the prophecy foretold.”
The
Where are you now?
Was it all in my fantasy?
Were you only imaginary?
I’m grated
So lost, I’m grated
Oh that face in panel 5 is so *cute*
I had a therapist once (in a clinic, i didn’t pick him) who, after you said how you feel, “But how did you feel?” and i was like uhhh was my previous feeling incorrect? What else is he expecting??
I don’t think he was a great therapist (for several reasons)
Sometimes people will have opinions on what qualifies as a feeling or saying how you feel. I’ve been annoyed with people who’ve wanted me to state things very plainly in their language to “get credit” for naming a feeling.
But how does that make you feel? (Sorry I couldn’t resist)
I can’t trust a therapist who’s a man. They’ve all been weirdly competitive about the whole thing, like they were trying to speedrun the process of my therapy. Filling in blanks that didn’t exist, rephrasing things to better fit the airport self-help book they were obviously writing on the side, the whole nine yards. That or they’d get overly familiar, like we were just bros talkin’ about stuff, which is just as unhelpful. On the opposite hand, every woman therapist I’ve talked to at least makes it clear she’s doing her job and wants to be doing it, and if a visit has been short, it’s nearly always been because we just didn’t have much to cover that time.
I’ve known men who are therapists on a personal level who seem great, but of the two I’ve interacted as an individual client, both were weird about sexual assault. (First one– history of it came up during intake, he went, “Are you over it?” Second one, I was explaining my rubber awareness bracelet that said “no excuses” as meaning there are no excuses for sexual assault, and he said, “Do you really believe that?” Me: “…yes.” Him: “Hm.”)
So I’m sure there are great therapists out there who are men, but if I’m looking for a therapist, probably not going with a man myself.
I’m working with a good one.
But also: holy heckin’ yikes on bikes, Yumi, I’m so sorry.
(Earlier I had this completely innocent train of thought like, “hm, yeah, I can see where a male therapist talking to male clients and female therapist talking to female clients might be a little less on guard, because there are fewer negative consequences for them, professionally, for being too friendly with a client they might assume could never be romantically interested in them.”
And now I am just. grimacing and sighing and again being grateful that for all the types of bad therapist I’ve had, it’s never been in that way.)
joyce’s expression in the first panel…. so cute
i can see why everyones falling in love with her
yes, yes, I love her, bitting her lips while writing, happily…
Yee ^^
Joyce slowly changes her major to become a therapist arc starts now.
I would say Lucy was the one getting grated.
She probably thinks it’s great-ed.
And if Joyce watched, then they’d be graded.
Oh BIG time Joyce action
I love panel 3, Jennifer is genuinely startled that someone wants to know about her feelings.
I’m glad their relationship is going so grate then.
