You are having way too much fun with this.

You’re not wrong. But to be fair, it came entirely from this: “Talking about Alycia with Numina in earshot is … uncomfortable on multiple levels, including even acknowledging that it’s uncomfortable.”

Oh, I’m not condemning, just observing. I’m having way too much fun with this, too.

1. That scene with Sarah Jane and Rose was just high-larious. It still makes me giggle to see the GIF.

2. Looks a bit like Rusty there next to Byron. :slight_smile:

3. Jason asks Vorl’ycia-in-his-head about the long term prospects for just about anything in his love life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_jNklBqVCA

Ay me! For aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth.
But either it was different in blood,
Or else misgraffèd in respect of years,
Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,
Or, if there were a sympathy in choice,
War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it,
Making it momentary as a sound,
Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,
Brief as the lightning in the collied night;
That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and Earth,
And ere a man hath power to say “Behold!”
The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
So quick bright things come to confusion.
– Shakespeare, _A Midsummer Night’s Dream, _Act 1, sc. 1, l. 132ff

(Of course bear in mind that’s one of the young lovers, Lysander, complaining to his beau, Hermia, and by the end of the play they’re married.)

Successful relationships in comics are few and far between, if only because the drama of failed relationships is so tempting to writers. Even where the relationships are solid, writers (or editorial) just can’t resist dicking around with them, sometimes using the excuse that the comic-reading public isn’t interested in or can’t relate to successful long-term relationships, let alone marriages. To which I say “Fie.”

With shenanigans ongoing at the Session 33 Prep thread, it’s time for some more shipping nicknames! No images today.

  • Summer docks with the Leo-Aria ship: A/S/L (Aria/Summer/Leo, don’t hate me)
  • Kid Kelvin gets his act together and asks her out properly: Solstice (Summer/Winter)
  • Our mysterious AEGIS spy gets a date: Summer of '37
  • Armiger switches preferred coffee shops: Summer Knights
  • Trace decides to get competitive with Leo in other areas: Corvette (“Corvette Summer” starring Mark Hamill and his Corvette Stingray)

As of our visit to the library, we have some options for name: Darion (Daphne-Marion, more euphonious than “Maphne” or “Malin”) or Butterfly (her symbol and his personality).

As a note, “Palamedes” is a name that also appears in Arthurian legend, and I’m sure Armiger and Lucius would be interested in hearing holy-warrior-no-thank-you Daph’s story some time.

Yeah, I was going to include that in the Wiki – a Saracen knight of the Round Table – and then got distracted. :slight_smile: There’s certainly some NPC fun to be had there.
