Ya blew it, Emrys.
Also, I’m in the kickstarter as soon as I find where I left my wallet.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.
-And don’t count out Emrys quite yet…
Brother Parvus
Indeed, especially given the way the lovely and talented Beth is brushing off her dance date. I dub Emrys the comic’s Eeyore!

Even doing nothing can end up as fucked up.

Unfortunately, that is very true.

As I said before, Emrys should’ve just left after his second drink. Would’ve played it safe and maybe he wouldn’t seem so pathetic to Beth. Even if they do hook up I’m betting Emrys will start feeling that it’s out of pity.
As for Beth… I hope Big Sister Shannon takes Beth aside and reminds her that she is thiiiiiiis close to falling back into her old habit of sleeping with her exes the moment she and Emrys seem to take a step forward in their relationship, and she has to figure out if 15 minutes to an hour of good sex with a guy she’ll most likely never see is worth losing the friend who’s been in love with her since he saw her. And with Stephanie seemingly having an epiphany and moping around back home, she no doubt will make an appealing consolation girlfriend for Emrys (though I think right now Stephanie needs FRIENDS, not a BOYFRIEND.)
That being said I also really hope Emrys doesn’t make the situation worse and call Beth a slut or something which would make the drive home really awkward. It basically would have just prolonged how I thought the Rich arc was going to end.

Nice analysis and commentary! I agree with everything with one caveat, I didn’t read Beth’s reaction to Emrys’ blunder as him being pathetic, but more of a “that was a silly thing to do, my friend”. Admittedly my reaction to her is heavily based on how her conversation went with his mother, but if anything, I think that even if Beth isn’t thinking of him romantically, she is taking him seriously as a friend and trying to look out for his well being. A lot of the best couples with long lasting relationships start out that way, so I could see it happening here too, particularly with Emrys’ self-confidence issues and Beth’s need to break old patterns.
I think the future looks positive for the both of them, one way or another, though I’m also still firmly in the camp of them becoming a happy couple. Time will tell…or rather Eric will show.
bohemiannightsthecomic
Your take on the situation is correct.
bohemiannightsthecomic
You’re pretty spot on here. (except I don’t think Emrys would ever call Beth a slut even if he was angry with her.)

Congrats Eric! I’m glad to hear the good news. Re Emrys, he’s obviously having a bad night. I hope he can laugh it off. This might show Beth he’s not too full of himself,
bohemiannightsthecomic
Thank you.
The story should finish soon. -it should be good.
Thracecius
Congratulations on the Kickstarter, Eric! I’ll be checking that out as soon as possible.
Thracecius
Pledge entered.
bohemiannightsthecomic
Thank you all. I’m hoping the Kickstarter actually comes through. Fingers crossed.

I am going to end my WoW subscription, so I’ll go for highest pledge.
bohemiannightsthecomic
Wow! (pun intended)
I was playing WoW for many years. Had to stop for a while so I could produce the comic. So I know what kind of sacrifice that entails. Thank you.
Gorbi1985
Nah. I just returned to Classic when covid striked. When I returned to work, I played less and less. I haven’t played WoW in last half of year. And when Blizz wanted me to pay for Burning Crusade once again, I decided to stop subscription. So no sacrifice. Just rationalization
