    May Mr. Para-Right show up for Castela.

    She deserves him!

    Y’know, this whole sequence reminds me of a lesson that many people take entirely too long to learn: part of the definition of living someone is wanting what’s best for them, even when that’s difficult for you. If it’s all about how _you_ feel, that’s infatuation, not love.

      Loving, not living. Darned autoincorrect…

        That and love takes on many forms. It is just that some of the best are platonic.

      I dunno, he didn’t see anything but bossiness until Scarlet clued him in. Why should he trust her over Castela’s own words? Bravo, Castela, for doing the right thing, even if you were too obvious in panel two.

    well, next comic will more than likely feature Castella and Bud. Or rather, Castella crying into Bud’s shirt.

      Possibly she has some bamboo genes along with the blackthorn? Bamboo grows very quickly…

        Because it has a huge energy supply stored in the roots.
        The little Blackthorn may have greater depth than we know.

      When most people hurt back, they don’t leave vast smoking craters. Responsibility is kind of not optional for her here.

        Perhaps it’s not optional, but most of the time teen/pre-teen hormones kind of make it hard to care about responsibility…even when you know in your rational heart that going scorched earth is way more literal for you than everyone else.

      It really depends on Scarlet at this point. She’ll have to prove herself in depth to Timothy to be a true choice over Castela.

    Haha, look at his reaction. Maybe, he’s not as okay with her being alright with this as we think. Castela is a plant and one thing plants are good at is finding a small crack and coming up right in the middle of it.

      Not to mention prying that crack apart to suit itself.

    Cas is the second most mature character in this strip after Bud, who learned it after she blew up the world.

    So let me get this straight… She confused the boy making him think she wasn’t interested in dating him, she is then heartbroken when he doesn’t choose to date her due to being oblivious, and now she is somehow a hero for pretending she likes the idea of him dating someone else? Sounds like a recipe for disaster and pain. Let’s hope she gets more honest after this mix up, and learns from her mistakes, or she is in it for a long line of heartaches! Most men are not that complicated. When I learned that, life got a whole lot easier.

      Perzactlickly. But I’m also hoping Castela’s Mr Right shows up soon, and I give her tons of credit for taking the “If you love someone, let them go: approach.

    • Rissicat
      January 25, 2017, 10:11 pm | # | Reply

      Close… More like she never realized how much she liked him until this moment, and that her annoyance with Scarlet earlier was actually jealousy until she unwound it all for Bud. (That discussion about being honest with oneself.) Unlike other teens though, Castella is a walking nuclear strike. She cannot afford to let herself rage uncontrolled, like most teens, can she?

      Scarlet is right on the nose though, about how she prefers to try and hide herself behind sass and blunder.

    Far more heartbreaking than if she’d raged.

    everyone assumes she’s “growing up”. at that age…REVENGE is more likely the result. and it will come when timmy is least expecting it.

    she’s cool and collected now because she’s plotting something.

    If Tim were the really observant kind (and he’s not) that last line of Castela’s would be a “tell”.

    She’s jealous.

    One interesting factor is that first match-ups and crushes don’t usually endure. But being a friend first, last, and always tends to leave open the possibility of a deeper relationship and is a better foundation for one, too.
