the "frontal lobe fully develops at 25" thing is a myth. studies were run to see if it kept developing after 18, and when it was found to still be developing at 25, scientists did not do further studies. it could still be developing your whole life for all we know

2024-07-09 18:08:19 +0000 UTCI know we're all super invested in these characters because we've been reading this comic for years now but please keep in mind that, with the exception of the characters that knew each other from their respective hometowns, all of these *18/19 year old CHILDREN* have known each other for about 5-6 months maximum in universe. If we're gauging toxicity, everyone is toxic, moving too fast & needs to remain single until their frontal lobe fully develops.

2024-07-09 16:52:51 +0000 UTCExactly!! I agree with Lucy as well.

2024-07-09 13:47:55 +0000 UTCMan people seem INCREDIBLY interested in regulating and judging Lucy's anger, or even the *idea* of Lucy's anger, in the comments section. I wonder why. I really wonder why Lucy in specific is not allowed to get angry, or be angry, and why that idea is so upsetting people have to announce, in advance of Lucy ever showing any anger, that they do not approve of it and judge her reasons for it.

2024-07-09 12:28:25 +0000 UTCso for the record, according to the walkypedia timeline, the "final" walky/dorothy breakup was on october 11, and the convo where lucy heard walky talk about hooking up with amber too soon was october 14 walky's first kiss with amber was october 13 you're not special, lucy or, like, LESS special, i guess

2024-07-09 11:14:51 +0000 UTCas a Lucy lover this hurts. im glad she's seeing that she deserves better but its still rough to watch her unravel the depth of that truth for herself.

2024-07-09 06:46:41 +0000 UTCI think she's less reacting to the actual hookup, more to the differences in timelines. There are levels of implied respect here, and Lucy isn't receiving as much respect now as Dorothy did back then.

2024-07-09 05:57:15 +0000 UTCSo...Lucy accepts she dumped him, which is the exact point she no longer gets a say in his life. How she then chooses to react to anything Walky does is her choice. Having said that, I'm the wrong person to ask when it comes to anything to do with emotions.

2024-07-09 05:51:28 +0000 UTCWhy quit? These two need a reality check, and Lucy will provide that.
Andrea Andrew
2024-07-09 05:48:33 +0000 UTCI mean… the reason they broke up was Lucy learning Walky wasn’t invested the way she was in their budding relationship but had strung her along so he wouldn’t have the difficult conversation with her about it. She doesn’t have a right to be angry about breaking up, and has flat-out said she isn’t, but I think she has every right to be hurt by learning how proportional the energy she wasted compared to Walky is.

2024-07-09 05:41:48 +0000 UTCNone of them are really in the wrong here. In Walky's defence, it really that weird that he didn't react the exact same after both break-ups? I feel like he dated Dorothy way longer (though I could be wrong.) Plus she was his first girlfriend, first breakup, etc. Ofc he's gonna take it differently. Not that I expect Lucy to think on that level haha. She's a teenager, and anyone in her shoes would be hurt too. Go off! Maybe quit now while you're ahead tho

2024-07-09 05:38:20 +0000 UTCI think that Lucy’s hurt because she invested way more thought and emotional energy into Walky, and he’s probably the first person she’s ever dated. It’s a lot to process when the images and expectations for dating that you’ve built up in your head suddenly come crashing down and you start to learn about how other people just flat out don’t fit them. I think she’ll restrict it to half an hour next time. (totally not speaking from experience here)

2024-07-09 05:37:41 +0000 UTCIf you breakup with someone you loose the moral high ground if that person decides to do something that makes them happy. It doesn't matter if it is two days, two weeks, or two months. Lucy did the breaking up. She can be upset, but she has no right to complain or throw it in their faces.

2024-07-09 05:34:15 +0000 UTCLet’s say there’s some rule about you must go into a period of mourning upon breaking up. Let’s say that rule is 10% of the time you were with them. Married ten years? 1 year mourning. Ok maybe 5%. Walky and Lucy were working on three dates so Lucy could have some sex. Let’s say each of those dates were two hours, going to Taco Bell and McDonald’s for the nuggs. We’re at six hours, 360 minutes. 10% of 360 minutes means Walky must wait 36 minutes before moving on. They didn’t have sex. I don’t think they even kissed. She did lick his shirt that one time. But Walky’s “Period of Mourning” just isn’t that involved. Some freshmen were hanging out, then they stopped. There’s not a lot to infer badness from here.

2024-07-09 05:08:20 +0000 UTCAmber: two days? technically, an hour, since he tried to get back with me immediately after your breakup. Dorothy: what?! Lucy: oh, for fuck’s sake, Walky!
