OH GOD… am I Amber and Liz? I know this is going to lead to really really bad consequences, but I also want to see this happen, for shipping reasons. ~<3
I mean, half the comments are always “WHY ARE THESE CHARACTERS NOT MAKING OPTIMUM DECISIONS FOR PERSONAL GROWTH AND SENSIBLE SOCIAL INTERACTION ALL THE TIME?” so maybe not all the readership.
I appreciate Dorothy’s care, but I do think Joyce would probably only be embarrassed that she sent them by mistake. I don’t really think she’d be too torn up that Dorothy saw her cleavage and panties.
Depends. Body shame seems to be the one that’s really stuck from all the religious baggage she’s tried to throw out, and this is the girl who wouldn’t let Sarah see her in her bra.
I work with someone with DID, who has a decent number of alts, and is very free with answering questions and talking about it when there isn’t an audience. And I know everyone is different, but… I don’t think its accurate to call one “real Amber” and one “the alt.” They are, together, Real Amber.
After all. My coworker has one alt that she calls “creature” who is simply herself from when she first had the traumatic experiences. And she has the one who presents most of the time. And she has some of the main ones which deal with stress, social situations, aggression, protection, etc, which often present. But its *all her.*
Amber is at once the horribly abused product / facsimile of her father, who is garbage and should feel like garbage, AND she is the steadfast hero who will leap into action to right wrongs and protect her friends, AND she is the critical voice of Mike, telling her that she wasn’t a terrible person and was worth saving. All of it.
So are Amber and Amazi-Girl able to speak to each other in real time, or is this just Amber telling Dorothy what she knows Amazi-Girl would want her to say?
Dorothy: “Sure I’ll send her a pic. If you send her a pic.”
Amazi-Girl: “HELL NO”
Amber: “HELL YES”
Joyce: “Why am I getting boob pics? Why not dong pics?”
Escalation: Probably what you expect.
Mini fanfic incoming:
Dorothy lets her inner goblin out.
Dorothy: “What’s with the spicy pictures? You’re gonna keep sending them until you get one from me?”
*Dorothy sends a pic of her butt*
Joyce: You finally got them? 😏
Joyce: OMG I’M SO SORRY DOROTHY I THOUGHT THIS WAS JOE
Dorothy: Hahaha it’s ok.
Joyce: …
Joyce: Your butt is cute.
Dorothy Aw, thanks. You too.
Both of them internally: Hold up-
Sending Joyce back a lewd would be a mildly subversive act which at worst will serve as a humanizing anecdote and not as anything truly threatening to the power structures at hand!
If they are stored in the cloud [normal MMS doesn’t but i don’t know what iMessages does], it would probably be Joyce that has the legitimate access required to delete them, not Dorothy.
I’m a litte worried about Dorothy being ok. Her facial expressions whenever it’s about those photos are looking like she is not okay. I just wonder, is she simply worried for Joyce, or is she negatively impacted by getting unsolicited half-nudes? Even if unintended, thit can still have a hurtful impact on the recipient.
Loading ...
Amber and Liz should be goblins together
(the QC Liz, I forgot there was one here, too)
I mean, it still makes sense with the one here.
+1!
OMG yes! Lol

I thought Marigold was the goblin.
What’s a webcomic without a goblin or two?
She hasn’t been for a long time.
Her little smile in the penultimate panel. It’s precious.
‘It would be irresponsible escalation, you should absolutely do it.’
RIGHT? ^-^ fuckin love her, she an adorable mischievous screwball XD
CHAOS GOBLIN!!!
YES ^_^
Amber seems less self-loathing and I’m so glad 🙂
That smile!
its me im amber
ugh what am i hitting WHY CAN I NOT AGREE
why cannot I say that I too am the trash goblin craving mess
whyyyyyy
THERE we go. Only took like four different ways of trying to say it lol
but i got there xD
Pretty sure the entire comments section is Amber? but as fellow Ambers we will support your cause with all we’ve got.
I want what she has.
Big boobs and a devil may care attitude?
A big butt and a smile?
🎶 That girl is poison 🎶
hacking skills and Dina as her roommate? ^^
good songgg
Nice boobs, rippling biceps, a smart brain, and a devilmay care attitude.
This is the happiest we’ve seen Amber in a while.
I think she senses an impending disaster and is mentally making popcorn.
She truly represents the readership
Except the part that is always catastrophizing about it.
Amazi-Girl represents that subgroup.
I mean, half the comments are always “WHY ARE THESE CHARACTERS NOT MAKING OPTIMUM DECISIONS FOR PERSONAL GROWTH AND SENSIBLE SOCIAL INTERACTION ALL THE TIME?” so maybe not all the readership.
Good choice. Mental popcorn is less filling.
Aren’t we all, Amber?
Aren’t we all?
+1!
Absolutely!
we can ship it!!!! UMF!!! <3
Dumbing of Age Book 15: I’m a Trash Goblin Who Craves Mess!
I didn’t anticipate Dotty and Joyce exchanging “nudes” but here we are
Oh, we were always heading here. It’s just been a long and bumpy road.
It was a long way to go but I’m glad we’re here.
I’m now convinced they will be in a polycule with Joe before Valentine’s Day.
It’s been a long road, getting from there to here.
Thank you for the new meme in my arsenal, Willis
Dorothy why do you hate fun
She could always just forward them to Joe.
That would be especially hilarious if she offers no explanation for why she has them.
idk if she currently approves of joe still even if she was willing to help out with that ‘sex list’
Friends can send each other titty pics, it’s fine.
It’s not gay if you’re friends first.
It’s not gay if you’ve done laundry together first. Especially if you held hands.
I appreciate Dorothy’s care, but I do think Joyce would probably only be embarrassed that she sent them by mistake. I don’t really think she’d be too torn up that Dorothy saw her cleavage and panties.
Depends. Body shame seems to be the one that’s really stuck from all the religious baggage she’s tried to throw out, and this is the girl who wouldn’t let Sarah see her in her bra.
Amber in the last panel speaks for all of us.
When we say she’s a trash goblin? Yeah, definitely.
I think she should send some to Amazi.
Dorothy+Amazi ship!
I bet Dorothy’s boyfriend would… actually he would fuel this fire too he’s also a trash goblin.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a final panel in my entirely life that so perfectly sums up my inner voice.
Amber’s fun
trash goblin in the forest!
who fools around all day!
she horny and craves mess!
so gets her friends to play!
lalalalallalalalalaala
*plays “Fichtl’s Song” by Die Woody’s on hacked muzak*
do it; mama needs some draaaamaaaaa~
Hmm, so Dorothy doesn’t say she’s gonna toss em just that she doesn’t want em out in the cloud and hackable or whatever. Interesting.
Also yes, escalate.
this action would be an example of a total lack of responsibility and taste…
however…
What if, stay with me here, AG was the real Amber all along, and this alt is just “Trash Goblin”?

So are Amber and Amazi-Girl able to speak to each other in real time, or is this just Amber telling Dorothy what she knows Amazi-Girl would want her to say?
I think they’ve been communicating the last while
God I love Amber. She’s so happy! : )
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her genuinely happy about something.
Dorothy: “Sure I’ll send her a pic. If you send her a pic.”
Amazi-Girl: “HELL NO”
Amber: “HELL YES”
Joyce: “Why am I getting boob pics? Why not dong pics?”
Escalation: Probably what you expect.
Amber: “Why does this feel like I’m in someone else’s slashfic?”
Dorothy: “Your slashfics aren’t like this?”
Amber: “My slashfics have dicks.”
It would be hilarious if Dorothy replied to Joyce with revealing photos of Walky.
Or a photo of a pile of laundry. That would be hilarious too.
A photo of Dorothy sitting on a washer.
Listen to the trash goblin lady!
I. Love. This. Women.
Ever fucking part of her
‘I’m a Trash Goblin, who craves mess’ has to be the next book title. Get on it, Willis.
Awww she is smiling!
I don’t think we’ve seen Amber smiling for ages!
god. amber is so fucking peak forever
I am completely one with amber in the final panel
I don’t care if it isn’t long term, just give me the chaos of Joyce Dorothy kiss, the chaos from it would be so delicious
Amber and Amazi-Girl are both correct.

I don’t think Dorothy will ever send a photo back. But that would be so hilarious! Let’s hope Amber will be able to convince her.
Dorothy has been trying to provoke herself out of her box recently with quasi-destructive acts.
Sending Joyce back a lewd would be a mildly subversive act which at worst will serve as a humanizing anecdote and not as anything truly threatening to the power structures at hand!
If they are stored in the cloud [normal MMS doesn’t but i don’t know what iMessages does], it would probably be Joyce that has the legitimate access required to delete them, not Dorothy.
It wkk ok uld be incredibly funny if she did 😌💖
Amazi-girl gives sage, boring advice.
Amber gives *interesting* advice!
I’m a litte worried about Dorothy being ok. Her facial expressions whenever it’s about those photos are looking like she is not okay. I just wonder, is she simply worried for Joyce, or is she negatively impacted by getting unsolicited half-nudes? Even if unintended, thit can still have a hurtful impact on the recipient.
