Bcb - Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Looks like spoiler user was right.
God damn it, Paulo.

ayy told you fuckers

First for Mike

Wait, someone called this? Where?

god damn you

What was the point of all those years of Paulo x Lucy build up?

Are we going to get a reason why Paulo would throw Lucy away for the cheatleader girl? They work best as besties, but a romantic relationship between them would be horrible.

Great, cementing the whole Paulo show as nothing but vapid and pointless filler.

Is Tae actively trying to turn it into "Filler: the comic, ALSO PLZ SPONSOR US ON PATREON!!"

To keep us hooked on reading the comic.
They knew if they pointed the ship right towards Pausy they'd lose half their readership

Wow what a needy fucking slut.
Hope he gets btfo soon.

Few threads ago, an user pointed out that this page (or one of the following) was spoiled in a stream not too long ago.

The best part is that even Sephiroth Cat doesn't love her.

How long before she comes crawling back to Mike?

I know :-(

I really wanted to see Mike get cucked

Fuck all y'all, Pausy is a way better ship than Pucy
and I want to see what Abbey would do in reaction holy shit

Honestly the constant swapping of who pines for who is getting so old.

Seriously, why can't he just make up his mind? Starting with ow he would always hit on Lucy in the old comic, then with David's story that was somehow supposed to make him choose between Tess and Daisy, then dating Jasmine while still being into Lucy, followed by his weird thing with Rachel that he continued with even though she made it abundantly clear that she was falling for him, and now that he finally, FINALLY is getting what he thought he wanted, he's busy daydreaming about Daisy?
He needs to pick a girl and actually stick with her.

O shit can't wait for the meltdown

what kind of fucking goober fantasises about another girl literally minutes after getting to hang out with a girl he's been gunning for for years

paulo is a dummy

One might say that Bittersweet Candy Bowl is a sweet little comic about high school drama.
A lot of drama. Childhood friendships, school bullies, and the occasional love hexagon.
You could also say it’s a story about a lovably infuriating bunch of kids growing up.

Her relationship with Sephicat is fine as it is, he clearly cares about her, as a friend, and she knows it. She doesn't need someone to love her, but someone she could love.

She knows he's not into her. She probably doesnt have feelings for him past the platonic "you saved my life" bs, either. I don't see her (realistically) crawling back to Mike any time soon.

My theory is he's built for poly and doesn't know what polyamory is
Oh and don't forget his crush on Mike

I'd like to see Daisy pushing Paulo to apologize to Abbey, since he never did that, and then Abbey apologizes to Paulo for his chokeslam, and they become best friends

Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, creador del Cielo y de la Tierra.
Creo en Jesucristo su único Hijo, Nuestro Seńor,
que fue concebido por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo;
nació de Santa María Virgen;
padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato;
fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado;
descendió a los infiernos;
al tercer día resucitó de entre los muertos;
subió a los cielos y está a la diestra de Dios Padre;
desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos.
Creo en el Espíritu Santo, en la Santa Iglesia Católica,
la comumión de los Santos en el perdon de los pecados
la resurrección de los muertos y la vida eterna.
Amén.

Can someone edit a 4 panel comic of isildur almost throwing the one ring into mt doom with BCB characters? It would really fit I think
The little hoe could have ended this whole love dodecahydron already, twice.

This is completely ok as long as Paulo deflowers her in the end

>finally get to hang out with girl you have been lusting over entire volumes
>immediately start having other thoughts

but it's about as dull as a teaspoon, there's no funk, no sparks, no dynamics

fatcat is the last one orangecat should be paired with because all the potentials of both will be squandered and holding each other back

Stop posting the wrong creed, heretic dog.

I like both ships but Paulo finally getting his dreams to come true and starts thinking about Daisy is fucking annoying
He's been gunning for Lucy since Year 1. Even when dating Rach he's been thinking about Lucy. Then Lucy comes back, he 'proposes' and now he's thinking about Daisy

It's fucking annoying. Pick a side and stick with it. Fuck.
Watch. Soon he's going to end up with Daisy and he'll be thinking about Rachel. Then the looparound begins again

I guess he's more interested in trying to make girls fall for him than an actual, stable relationship.
He's a cunt hunter.

I'd like to see a meteor hit the town of Roseville, killing everyone inside. Oh and then Sandy comes to the crater to finally shit on Mike literally.

Both of those are lame, both as characterizing and as story element.

I wanna see him and Daisy
He has such a madonna image (in Madonna/whore complex) of her that would make it interesting

gonna straight up hang myself in 10 minutes, link me the correct one before I do so I can recite it in my last breaths

guys.guys. let's be honest even without spoiler user we knew i'd be this way.

first off no way Tae would just allow Paulo and Lucy to start a relationship whithout some extra element to it and at this point i dont think Augustus by himself would be dramatic enough, and this thing is moved on drama.

second, unless you forgot the signs have been showing for a long time.i mean come on Paulo refused Tess all the way back because of Daisy. and recently they've been getting a lot more content together, such as the con, in short the recent circumstances have put them more prominently in each-other's minds.

what i actually hate about this is that for a while there Paulo was on a very good streak of development. then he was reset back to a womanizing jerk, for apparently no purpose. it's like every time the arstyle changes he resets and his progress is lost.his behavior right before Lucy came back was around the worst in a while and his treatment of Rachel didn't feel right. i just wish that this is the final 2, and if it's gonna be between Lucy and Daisy so be it but at least make him stick with it this time.

Can you imagine Lucy getting dumped for Daisy after all of this? Unless she actually got some therapy while she was gone, it definitely wouldn't help her feelings that none of her friends actually like her.

That being said, Pausy is definitely the path to the most drama right now. Paulo quietly setting down with Lucy would not stir up anything in particular. But Daisy? Abbey would have an aneurysm, Lucy would implode, and Daisy herself would get to finally feel like she beat Lucy in some way.

Abbey first, else Polo will never do it anyway.

When it went physical his view on temper tantrum went from loathing to outright hating him.

leak user was right after all, but i think this might mean it's a sort of trap. as in, this page is just to make the fanbase freak out but nothing will come of it and the spoiler was to mislead people.

No, that's when he's going to suddenly confess to Mike, who will promptly cut him out of his life, leading to Paulo's December.

>what i actually hate about this is that for a while there Paulo was on a very good streak of development. then he was reset back to a womanizing jerk, for apparently no purpose.
This. I fucking hate how Paulo keeps getting reset to lvl 1

RIP Tess

This is such a disappointment, holy shit.

Not to mention that Daisy would still be pining for Mike if she ended up with Paulo.

It hurts.

>Lucy getting cucked by this bitch

WHY?

On the contrary I think their differences complement one another's
Paulo needs someone more responsible and encouraging to help him succeed
Daisy needs someone she can care for (note the extras like Daisy caring for drunk Paulo, they're really very sweet together)

How is Daisy a bitch?

She is correct: wanting someone for being hot is shallow and Lucy is a terrible person.

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
you forgot "According to the Scriptures" and "is seated at the right hand of the Father" (not God Father)

"character development? Whuzzat? Better keep the previously fleshed out character a 2-bit joke otherwise I'd have to flesh out the others too, maybe even put effort into the art fundamentals again, and we can't have that since that takes effort and developing my skills again instead of staying in this moneyfarming rut"

WAS a terrible person. She seems to have her head on pretty straight more recently, but we also haven't seen enough of her to truly be able to tell.

>trying
That's what this shit has been since day fucking one. I don't get why you fucks keep reading

>How is Daisy a bitch?
>"Oh Abbey, thank you for being my filler boyfriend while my never ending hots for Mike prevents our relationship from being real"
>"I care about you very much"

>Daisy
>ONLY lusting after one boy

Yes, true, but I was referring to that panel.

>Hey, thrill of the chase
I like being right.

Maybe it could be a chance for Paulo to mature. It's also true that he was the one who costantly picked on Abbey; even if from his point of view he was just joking around, he needs to explain it. His apology is long-overdue, as is Daisy's apology to Abbey for always letting Paulo get away with it.
Abbey needs to calm fucking down, though, and ask forgiveness to both Paulo (Abbey always targeted him with his punishments when he was elected into the students' council) and Daisy (keeping what happened at the con a secret from her and driving her oldest friend away from her)

Everyone owes everyone else an apology in this comic. Most of the useless drama would be solved if everyone talked to each other

so

what's the point of reading if MxL and PxD are now a sure fire thing?

i honestly miss her. while i get that once her love with Paulo got it's ending and most of her issues with the likes of Rachel and her upcomming graduation got resolved, there wasn't really much to keep her around, but it felt like she was just erased too abruptly, even before she left. it's like, she's a prominent member of the gang and then two chapters later she only starts appearing in a couple of panels and with little dialogue.

i also think her and Paulo's relationship had shittons of wasted potential and suffered as it did because of "first girlfriend syndrome" which is that in dramas like these the first girl is almost never the one that'lll stay till the end.

>goes amd asks her out without sperging
>seems to really be trying his best to make it work perhaps
>next few pages 180 on that and its acting fidgity and thinking about daisy instead of maybe asking lucy for help on the questions
oh boy i sure cant wait for all the melodrama to come out of this

Taeshi, you fucking idiot. Do you think this is good development? Do you really think this situation is believable at all? Make up your goddamn mind on what you want Paulo to be as a character, he has been so many characters during this whole comic is getting incredibly annoying. This is not even about shipping, is about some incredibly rushed and awful writing.

I'm honestly mad at how badly she is writing this shit.

Welp, an almost pointless page except for the fact it confirms PauloxDaisy. Guess that leaves the endgame open for Lucy/Mike and Abby/a loaded gun.

Even goddamn Lucy could easily set him straight since he just needs a occasional "no, don't do that" and also some positive reinforcement (and so does Lucy but on different things, so they'll sort of be sparring each other at self improvement), and Daisy's endless and encompassing capacity to care for others (which is only rivaled by her love for sweets) would as mentioned be wasted on him.

She would work better with a more 'broken' character that actually requires effort as long as she isn't having a raging girlboner for someone else.

He has finally realized that there is literally nothing to Lucy as a character. She's just a cunt with a pretty face and serious mental problems.

Thanks creedanon, will save this for monday's thread

He's her goto "let's repurpose this character to compensate for my awful plot laying instead of utilizing someone who fits better"

MxL ain't looking reasonable. I wanna see if Tae can write herself out of this situation and into one where MxL looks remotely feasible.

>a whole week of pure filler

This pleases the suitcase.

this is my main problem with this situation and mainly because i cannot stand MxL. one of the biggest points of the whole fucking comic up until this point was that their relationship was toxic and was hurting not only them but pretty much everyone around them. so even though it was brutal, it needed a conclusion sooner or later.
but what's the fucking point of doing it the way it was if it's just gonna be brought back? i understand Mike feeling like he went too far and wanting to patch things up, especially now that his relationship with Sandy is at an all-time low and probably ending sometime soon, i even understand how now the roles are reversed with Lucy wanting nothing to do with him while he is going after her, but can it legit not end with them just realising both were wrong, apologizing, and moving on? there can still be drama and sexual tension and whatever but don't bring this goddamn ship back.

I wonder if Daisy's gonna go crawling back to Augustus after all this, right on time to miss her chance with Paulo.

WHERE is McCain??

He's dead Jim.

Gone forever.

Look at how tiny they are, they look like their age is in the single digits.

nah Abby's getting with Jazz. and you betcha there'll be a ton of Daisy-involved drama along the way.
probably it's gonna go like this: Paulo is going out with Lucy, decides to try and put Daisy back with Abby, makes some big plan to unite the two.Daisy goes along with plan and expects Abby to be ready to go back to her. meanwhile Abby spends time with Jazz and they start getting along. plan finally goes off, except Abby moved on, doesn't want Daisy back, Daisy's left heartbroken and alone.Paulo sees Daisy suffer and strains his relationship with Lucy because he wants to support her and strats being even more conflicted between who he wants.

after that Mike probably enters the pic somehow and he and Lucy finally talk and shit goes from there.

I like this and agree with the ending (Paulo straining relationship with Lucy to help Daisy), but after their conversation in the hallway, I doubt Paulo would try to get Daisy and Abbey back together. Further, Abbey seemed pretty resolute in his break-up with Daisy in the cafeteria. He's already checked out.

I really don't wanna spend YEARS watching Paulo not make a fucking decision on who he wants. But it seems it could go that way

so, what are the percentile chances this actually makes Paulo go "o shit" mode and have a breakdown because he realises he's doing the same shit again and is about to ruin another relationship by being indecisive about who he really loves?

isnt it obvious?
the answer is a 3 way

The ride never ends, user :)

10%
He's using people for his pleasure, nothing more.

not years user. just a couple of months is all.don't you wanna see a whole new arc of Paulo becoming more mature, responsible, being a better friend and getting a steady gf, only to have him reset at the next turn in the plot?
don't you wanna see the ship that caused a suicide attempt sail again?

>Abby's getting with Jazz

Worst boy and worst girl are made for each other.

t.fedora degenerate

Up until this page, I actually thought he had hope to develop. How foolish of me.

>the ship that caused a suicide attempt

Lucy "caused" a suicide attempt solo. Mike had nothing to do with it.

Wait, does this mean that Abbey was right all along?

agreed

Abbey was right.

the only real problem i have with her is how even though she was gonna ask for them to break up, she was somehow shocked/hurt that Paulo was gonna do the same because of another chick.

that and her making fun of him with Abbey after all the time they spent together and after how beaten up she was over one small fight.

Oh Paulo, you whore.
Ah well, I'd already jumped ship to Lucy X Augustus.

I forgot about this q and a. Daisy and Abbey ship has been flagged for sinking for a long time.

You seem to ignore she said that because she saw Paulo acting immature.

You did the sage wrong.

Sage goes into all fields

>Mike had nothing to do with it.

I need to delete the name. I keep forgetting it carries along between posts

>He's using people for his pleasure, nothing more.
see that's the problem right there, in that i don't think that's fully true. Paulo isn't your typical player character who is 100% uncompromised and legit just tries to score as much as he can while switching girls around. he seems to trully care for most girls he dates and gets emotionally invested enough to feel bad when it ends, but when it seems he's getting better the story makes him to be a womanizing jerk again. it feels like the author can't decide if they want him to be a womanizing player or just a confused teen trying to sort his feelings and improve himself. making him consider being bi for no fucking reason and right outta nowhere didn't help much.
