Bcb - Bittersweet Candy Bowl

The return of animay faces

This is a trainwreck

For FUCK'S SAKE, Lucy

WHY IS PAULO ACTING LIKE A TODDLER HE SHOULD JUST KILL THE BINCH

So she went from vindictive bitch to full cunt in two pages. Welp, I'm done. Back to K6BD

This is remarkable distillation of how bullshit this chapter is.

Look at this bad comic that I just found, burn it down to the ground

Oh so he lied to daisy then.
Weird tone shift is weird though...

>all that aside we've had a nice night, huh?
Has she ever been a bigger asshole?

This is why Mike was right all along

>All that aside, we've had a nice night, huh?
>Basically led him on for the entire night just to shut him down
This chapter is the absolute worst

This chapter has had writing that's been just all over the place. Is Taeshi even paying attention to what she's writing?

>pine for her for a year
>"You'll feel better by Monday"
I sure hope Lucy is supposed to be badly misinformed about what she's doing.

Given what trash this comic has been for the last few chapters, she probably isn't.

Man this comic is just getting fucking worse.

And I thought know-it-all Lucy was obnoxious before!

Or Taeshi's "Paulo is so totally childish you guys" sledgehammer blows.

E N D L E S S T R A S H

so its pretty safe bet the next comic is gonna be her bitching about him not going to daisy party

>three more years of writing like this

haha

oh wow

>>Basically led him on for the entire night just to shut him down
She WAS planning to kill herself.

Jesus, take a chill pill user.

The spoil page didn't show him there.

Maybe he'll grow a spine about being patronized like this?

No wait, that's hope. Cardinal mistake in bcb thread.

Well he is Daisy's friend. And he is being a huge baby.

Why does she care so much? And why isn't Paulo going, anyway? I think we can guess that she doesn't manage to sway him because of the spoiler page but why would it matter to her anyway? Isn't she trying to keep her distance from "Mike's" friends?

>>Basically led him on for the entire night just to shut him down
>She WAS planning to kill herself.
I'm sure user means THIS night. It was clear from the (overstated, natch) way that Paulo asked her out that he meant for a romantic night out and she's been cuddling with him all the time and then says "I could never love you lol"? This is bullshit.

consistency and quality requires effort, and bagmand only wants her to bring in money so he doesn't have to werk.

plot twist
Paulo threw himself under a bus on Saturday morning, but they all find out only after Daisy's party

>No wait, that's hope. Cardinal mistake in bcb thread.
Well you know what I always say:
There's always hope... that Mike will suffer.

God, I hope so. Getting tired of watching these two bipolar assholes violently cycle between emotions. Pure depression would be a nice bit of consistency.

Wew lad, I haven't read this page yet because I read it while I'm on work break and don't want to be upset until the end of my shift considering the whole shittiness of this chapter.

By this thread's reaction, I can assume is even worse than last week.

Is it even possible to de-animay the faces? Since they look fucking retarded.

If only the writing were as easy to fix as the heads

I'll give you something to smile about, user

I'm the usual head-editor, but I'm too tired to do shit today. If the thread's still up, I might consider it tomorrow, or check the trash thread maybe

Does...does Taeshi know how emotions work anymore?

Someone once said that she took a psychology class. Are you sure?

All the mental gymnastics required to believe this is both good characterisation and that the art looks good & the proportions fits mid teens, I'd say she could only have been the others example case.

>Acts cutesy towards crush, 2nd-choice BF material
>Goes on a date to the carnival
>Super lovey dovey cuddling and talking
>Decides to finally tell him to BTFO and she'd never love him,ever.
>Oh wait, you'll recover after pining for me for over a year.
>Just go fucking date Daisy already so the ships can hamfisted.

The lack of subtly, the terrible art, the fact people are even invested in this shitshow is hilarious.
Just wait, Lucy is gonna guilt-trip him into going or chew him out. She fucking tried to kill herself and got stupidly depressed when Mike (who was taken) told her to BTFO.

But then pretty much crumbles Paulo's heart the same way, then has the audacity to be all "Why you cryin ya lil bitch?"

>Mike looking at his phone
Bitch you can't turn it off for a few hours??

This page feels so out of place. Are you sure this is the update? (Not a joke page?)

Like why is Paulo making that face???

>Lucy returns
>Is a bitch out the gate
You know
I actually wish she died
Fuck. Suicide's bad. But fuck

Last page made it look like there was going to be a real, serious argument to follow. This is just a total mood whiplash.

>Nobody could love me
>i love you
>NOBODY. COULD. LOVE. ME.

Boooooring

Remember that the brief period when she moved away was the best the comic had been in a long time.

Minus the Madison parts..

>TRIPLE DUBS
I always knew you were my guy, Mikeposter

This is a shit page, though. Mood whiplash, Lucy being unreasonable upset at Paulo even though she shouldn't care if he goes to the party, nothing actually happening. I just want to fast forward to Mike and Daisy at the party, but we've got to deal with this shite chapter for the rest of the week, instead.

In the bobblehead era, everyone is David

I deliver catharsis, a concept unknown to Taeshi.

Is Lucy bipolar or something? What the fuck is up with the constant 180s she keeps doing with her emotions?

...

She's either legitimately bipolar or the writer is in a rush to sink Paulo/Lucy while not taking away TOO much time meant for setting up Paulo/Daisy and Lucy/Mike.

Man you guys should really stop self inserting as Paulo.

>in panels four and five paulo has his arms wrapped around the daisy colored teddy bear
hmmmmmmmm

She is based on the author childhood and Taeshi is bipolar so...

This is wonderful. Thank you

Does Taeshi relly thinks she's being subtle with the bears?
>rips off the Lucy-eyes coloured bear
>hugs the Daisy-coloured bear for comfort

>defending the story
Hard to self-insert when the characterization keeps changing between chapters/pages.

This is 1000% better than what we got

I agree generally but I don't think anybody's doing that yet ITT.

And yet, he isn't going to her party. Plus, he just told Lucy he hates how much control Daisy has over him. Did he mean exactly what he said or was he acknowledging his feelings for Daisy, and that he was frustrated by them because he was pursuing Lucy? If the latter, why is he not going to the party?

Borderline*

I'm not really defending it, but it's so fucking obvious that a majority of anons self inserted as the "alpha" male just so they can get with the most attractive character, in this case, Lucy. Seriously the number of people who say, "I want Paulo to be the one to pop Lucy's cherry," is fucking cringey.
Like it's no wonder everyone here hates PauloxDaisy, as badly hamfisted as it is, because they don't want "themselves" (When its really Paulo), to be paired with a fat fuck.

I like Lucy but I feel like Taeshi doesn't know (or maybe doesn't care since Lucy is apparently based on her) about how draining and frustrating it can be when you've got a mentally ill friend, and I've been on both sides of that situation.

I'm just gonna say if someone who was cuddling with me not even ten minutes ago and was suddenly yelling at me and calling me an idiot for having feelings for them I'd be scared and at the very least angry. It's not fun watching someone you care about switch moods like that.

It's like she doesn't want Paulo and Lucy's development to have the same sort of effort she's obviously going to push towards Lucy and Mike's inevitable hooking up. Lucy gets told she's a parasite and nobody likes her = suicide attempt. Paulo gets told he's an idiot and he never had a chance with Lucy after he spent months waiting for her = anime sulking face.

>MikexLucy will be canon no matter what

How do you cope with this?

The little gray doormat was always right. Just people were to blinded by their whiteknighting for Lucy. lol

By still having some affinity for it.

Oh sure, Taeshi will probably still fuck it up, but at least I won't be THAT disappointed (I hope).

>implying that all main characters will not end up single so fans can keep shipping for all eternity.

Ok because I actually like it, despite its flaws. Their relationship was cute in the earlier chapters, and I wish Taeshi didn't go down this path

Carter and McCain were driving the bus.

Carter was a shitty fan character anyway. Shame about McCain though.

What if I self-insert as Lucy and want Paulo to pop my cherry?

>I like Lucy

Didn't take Rachel long to find a new flesh dildo

There really had better be a plot point about Lucy trying to be a better friend is actually a crashing failure at it. This shit doesn't make any sense.

Shit taste mate

Carter was one of the funniest fan-character

I think you didn't read the rest of my comment because I go on to say what she's doing and how there seems to be a sort of bubble of protection around her (except when it comes to Mike) is bad writing.

slutpup's gonna slut

At least for me, it's a case of watching Paulo go from actually growing as a person to reverting back to his old self with the author seemingly not giving a fuck.

All the ships in this comic piss me off on some level, but with the case of PauloxDaisy it's like pushing two characters who never had any real romantic chemistry together at the expense of characters like Abbey (and I fucking hate Abbey).

>Paulo: Why were you crying when Mike rejected you? Why were you crying when Mike called you out for all those things? Why did you come running to me right after he turned you down? Why did you agree to go out with me tonight just to turn me down?!
Lucy: Just shut up and go to Daisy's party!!!

Paulo: *sigh* Mike was right, you truly are a parasite...

Lucy: ...

that mood whiplash was so bad I felt it on my neck AND ass

Honestly I feel like Taeshi reads these threads and makes the plot worse and worse out of spite. Isn't the first time she's done that either, just look at how mentioning a character once (1) makes her not wanna insert that character ever again in the comic because she's 5 apparently.

Fuck off suitclone. People like Paulo because this story put literally years of effort into making him likable. It's the story's fault that the audience doesn't buy this "Paulo's always been an asshole" thing.

Mike was right.

Stop projecting lol

I wanted this so bad.......... someone needs to put her in her place again. Mike pls.

Wait, how does she even know he broke up with Jasmine?

Did Jordan tell her?

goddddddddddd, this comic has gotten so shittyyyyyyyyy. i hate saying that because it's been a part of my life all throughout my teen years, but it's clear at this point she's doing what's enjoyable as a writer and not from the viewpoint of what's enjoyable as a reader, and anytime someone attempts to call her out on this, she just posts some stupid gif of an anime character dancing. why is it that all character development is shoved down an already clogging toilet at turbo overdrive?

besides, get a load of that pouty paulo face. that classic o3o anime face and the source of that emoji we all used as weeb ass 12 year olds. if there's anything taeshi's good at, it's expressions, yet that's what she resorted to? that anime face that anime even hardly uses anymore because it's generally accepted there are much better expressions to use? jesus fuck.

That just means that Molly belongs to the Mollyposters. She'll be happier this way.

I feel you brudda

She only go for good-hearted people. She knows how to spot one.

Perfection :)

Tell us then, does the current chapter's depiction of Paulo fit anywhere with the last couple of years, going back to when Jasmine told him off at the party?

>Super lovey dovey cuddling and talking
TIL Can't hug friends or talk to them unless we're dating.

Its changed back and forth a lot in the last three years. it'd be pessimistic to assume she wont ditch this the way she ditched the other styles.

>MikexLucy is gonna be canon!
>Well okay, just make sure Lucy goes through the development she needs-
>MY SELF-INSERT IS PERFECT IT'S EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COMIC WHO NEEDS TO CHANGE REEEEEEEEE

Like Mike is fucking BORING but that's the worst thing you can say about him. Lucy has legitimate mental issues. It's like Taeshi can't decide if she wants this comic to be a wacky slice of life anime or if Degrassi with cats.

LET'S HIT THOSE SHOWERS

Hell, he's much more childish now then when he was 13!

>I like Lucy

What is there to even like about her? LOL

>12 year olds
>emoji
Underage b&

She belongs to me and only me, bitch

Lucy got over her wierd obsessive fixation with Mike. That's good for everyone.
Except Mike who told her to fuck off in the first place and is now waffling like a baby.

It feels like she's trying to make this funny, almost. It seems very hamfisted.

>MY SELF-INSERT IS PERFECT IT'S EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COMIC WHO NEEDS TO CHANGE REEEEEEEEE

Yeah that's probably the worst problem this comic has, the author is clearly identifying too much with Lucy which makes her unable to have any development at all, she's always in the right, the victim of the situation etc. It's getting really boring at this point, especially since the only characters who really got any "development" at all would be her and Paulo, except his magically disappeared. I don't know man this comic is just getting so shitty and it bothers me so goddamn muchh

Abbey pls

Molly belongs to nobody. She's a treasure and a World Heritage

>You'll be fine.
It's like the "we wish you the best in your future endeavors" cliche when getting fired. Comes off as really insincere.

True, he kinda is and nobody deserves to be stuck with Lucy. He'd be much happier with Amaya or something.
