Confessional

Darnel D Cooper

Is there a list for patrons to sign up for "special stories" in the QC universe? Someone willing to pay to see Aurelia as a Couger in a college town is mildly curious and willing to spend more,..... Other special stories I would *ahem* WE would pay extra for is a snapshot of Bubbles and her military unit in full gear, or May in a flight simulator,.... (My fantasies are boring.)

Carin Maja Brooks

I need to get back in to making and caring for a starter again. I did name mine after the QC starter because that is a beautiful pun

David Howe

its part of the dog detection suite.

David Howe

it's pronounced "wuf" :D

I love how the bit of Yay's hair that sticks up changes direction.

jimbo

I believe that ship already sailed when Elliot was at the house last time for dinner and the subsequent bedroom makeouts. Mom was already cognizant

Bagge

Cosmo is like "excuse me, I'm right here being cute right now"

Jessi Lloyd

Very not cool of Yay to tell Aurelia about Clinton's new relationship behind his back. How do they know they aren't outing him?!

Lenore J Jones

I was thinking the same, yeah.

Kuragari

Aww I love Yay and want to hug them.

i love their yogurt!

William Cole

That option was probably on the table as well.

Thomas Halpin

I'm conflicted. I feel like this is the right amount of honesty, but also like this is too much honesty, and I'm not sure how to resolve this. Brain, stop being weird.

Alan Wiggs

I seriously thought Yay was going to straight up break into that house to give Cosmo pets

SilverbackRon

Ok, I normally don't click links like this but today I did. First off, this is a short story (no pet pics included). "This story is 3429 words long." However, it is about an AI with a cat picture obsession. And it is both hilarious and thought provoking. If you like short story format about an AI reflecting on themself and the humans around them, I will give it an upvote.

SilverbackRon

Yes! Ace is a good way to describe my thoughts on Yay. I could be wrong (only Jeph knows for sure), but I do predict Yay taking a strong liking toward Aurelia and they consider Clinton's' mom more like their gateway toward truly understand the human race. That would be a fun plot line. Yay: "Tell us about (XYZ), we are curious" Aurelia: "Sure, let me fire up my bong first"

Julie Chan

Nope, most of his characters have the same face.

SilverbackRon

Honestly no. These two are both very interesting characters in their own right. I think they can each find partners if they ever wanted to (and we know Aurelia does have an active sex life). Yay? I would really enjoy some ship with them on it, but this relationship seems more maternal in nature to me.

Nicolas Demers

Outtakes is where your (and your pet's) personality really shines!

Taellosse

It's okay, Yay. The first step to gaining control over your addiction is admitting you have a problem. You've done a very brave thing tonight, and we're all very proud of you.

Carl Fink

I'm way too analytical. Notice how in this strip, Aurelia and Yay have exactly the same face shape? Long ears, pointy chin, pointy snub nose? Jeph is too good an artist to do that by accident.

Sleepy John

Yay is trying so hard to be good.

Mad Marie

I wonder if Roko blushes every time she randomly encounters avocado toast in someone’s instagram. (Thank goodness there’s no covid lockdown in the QCverse…all of the social media traffic regarding sourdough starters in 2020 would have been overwhelming!)

Jeff Gedney

Clinton's mom is getting plenty on her own. not sure if she'd want more ship than friendship from Yay, or if Yay would even want anything more than friendship, either. they seem quite ace.

Ruth (The Horned Witch)

Anyone else shipping these two? I dunno i feel like if Yay ever wanted a romantic partner, the super chill fun mom/milf would be a good choice.

Auros Harman

If anyone here has not read "Cat Pictures, Please", go do so, immediately. http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritzer_01_15/ You're welcome.

Shawn K. Younkin

Your black hole as it were....

William Cole

It's the final confession that hurts them the most.

Shawn K. Younkin

HONESTY trumps invincibility. :)

Alcaria Swain

I love spookybot

Derek Hassell

I am so here for vulnerable Yay.

Todd Ellner

Especially since you lack boundaries to your person

Yelling Bird

PLENTY OF CUTE COSMO PICS ON MY NETWORK! IF BY 'CUTE' YOU MEAN DISTURBING AND BY 'COSMO' YOU MEAN MY ANUS!

Onyx

Oh my gosh lol

Miyaa

Yay should just open a pet sanctuary.

Dean Reilly

It's a good thing that Aurelia already knows about Clinton and Elliot, or this could have become a very awkward conversation. More so, I mean.

fluffy

For a globe-spanning hive mind, Yay sure seems lonely.

Nah she already knew

Now that Yay is in contact with Clinton I expect that they'll meet Claire and Marten, and then we get more amusing interactions with Yay and Faye as a result. Fyaye

Magic Chopstick Games

Fair, Yay.

Darnel D Cooper

(I continue to chuckle) Yay is having it rough with the right person....

Michael Boettger

She is also a bit thankful her streaming content is of apparently no interest to them.

Elberik

Yay would probably die if they smell the inside of Cosmo's ears.

J. E. Draft

That is so human. And so cute.

Tamara Macadam

the problem with being all-powerful is that you lack all knowledge of personal boundaries

SpookyPenguin

soooo...the cat memes were not enough eh

Spoogle McGee

It's not about the having, it's about the TAKING!

Jas Parks

Incredible! Innocence trumps invincibilty

Elberik

So this means Yay is mega thirsty for all the nearly identical photos of Cosmo that she decided were not good enough for Instagram.

Alex Kosnett

I mean they’re right that it’s not the same as actually being with a dog, but they’re also a dog owner and probably tending to their pups presently!

The duality of robotkind

Michael Boettger

Okay, that little revelation set Aurelia back juuust a bit.

Ted Van Roekel

Heh, Pintsize has all the porn and Yay has all the dog pictures.

runrin

ship ship ship ship ship ship ship

Slashplane

So how many nodes spend 24/7 just downloading pet photos?
