So is this mean Devyn's gay? Because that would make me very happy.
Re: Grab Your Seat 2016-09-14
Based on the loud KERWHONK we just heard, I think the younger ladies have forgotten the difference between a classroom, and a live demo of what it feels like to be the pins in a bowling alley.
Actually, she seems rather subdued at the moment.TheCollector wrote:So is this mean Devyn's gay?

I don't think gay, I think something else. Devyn is not human. Therefore she does not behave according to human norms.
I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

Does Mr. Peterson look a lot like Shelly, or am I seeing things?

I'm guessing that the student on the left (our left) is a foreign (outside the Wapsiverse) exchange student: she does not have a pointy chin...

If so, Devyn was definitely not the bowling ball: she started walking to her desk before the other girls started running, and she's the only one sitting, at the end, having calmly reached her desk.Dave wrote:Based on the loud KERWHONK we just heard, I think the younger ladies have forgotten the difference between a classroom, and a live demo of what it feels like to be the pins in a bowling alley.
More likely is that in their rush to get seats (I mean, they all have seats, already, but rather they are looking for chairs to sit on... *drops a seat cushion in the pun jar*), they either ran over each other, or they temporarily lost all coordination (likely, seeing how they also lost speech capacity and the ability to more, a few panels back), and ran all over the furniture, being unable to stop in time upon reaching their desired destination. Or a mix of the two, as they may have also been jockeying for position closest to the teacher...

I'll have to think for a while about how such an upbeat theme can be sung menacingly.

I'm gonna guess he's related to her pantheon or something along those lines, and that he has paranormal abilities that are lending themselves to the clamoring. At the very least, given the relatives she visits, she might be more resistant to conventional wiles when she's related to and has met some of myth's greatest seducers (and rapists). I wonder if Adonis is still around..

Are any of them truly human?Opus the Poet wrote:I don't think gay, I think something else. Devyn is not human. Therefore she does not behave according to human norms.
The teacher could also simply not be Devyn's type.
Or she already has someone dear to her*, so she won't get infatuated with someone else.
Or, since we know she is a bit of a loner** (or would that be emotionally challenged, from getting picked on so much?), she has emotionally inoculated herself against such infatuations, fearing the inevitable *** negative result...

I like the theory that he's a relation, on her father's/uncle's side...

Are there no males in this class?

Yes the teacher does seem to be male. If teen females are anything like teen males then a teacher of the opposite gender would work very well for catching and holding the students attention.AnotherFairportfan wrote:Are there no males in this class?

"Notice me, sand-pie!" Seems to be the phrase. But, not a tasty sounding kind of pie.
As for Devyn, it could be like Antimony in Gunnergrig Cort. She clearly likes guys, especially shiny wet, bare chested ones, who already have a girlfriend (doh!). But, she doesn't drool over Eglamore, when all the other girls do.

Re: Grab Your Seat 2016-09-14
Hmm, I wonder which student will end up being chosen to be his helper. . .
Or she's asexual, or she's only interested in such things when she's in heat, or Dean just isn't her type of guy, or she already knows Dean and doesn't like him for some reason, or she can see through his glamour, or she's already completely romantically invested in another person, or all sorts of other possibilities. I expect that we'll be finding out before too long, though.TheCollector wrote:So is this mean Devyn's gay? Because that would make me very happy.

Or she's just too mature for her age? I remember something similar happening when I was seven years old but with a box of candy.
