there is no friend zone, and even if there was one that is not how one gets sent to it. One would get sent to it by giving gifts and thinking that entitles them to a relationship.
Ama
Um. What? That has literally nothing to do with the friend zone.
Friend zone literally just means that you like someone, and they don’t like you back and only consider you a friend. Being “friend zoned” (god I freaking hate that term) means that they told you something that indicates that they have no interest in you romantically, even if you don’t feel the same.
It’s not about entitlement. It’s not about gift-giving, or anything of the sort. It can happen to boys, girls, anyone who’s interested in another person who doesn’t feel the same.
That’s.. literally it. You like them, they don’t like you back, just as a friend. It’s a shorthand way of saying that.

I think it’s referencing dating sims. but I played Harvest Moon.
You can get a wife by making her like you by giving them.

Thankyou. I was starting to think the Universe had completely ran out of sane people when it came to that topic.
Unrequited affection is as old as time itself, yet it has become popular to completely deny its existence because it got a trendy new name.
Finally !! *-* I’ve been waiting this moment Since the comic of “The Journey” (Didn’t expect to have glasses but; Pfft who cares?) ^w^!!!
This is fun; Since my Big sister plays CoD with me (well Played; She’s in University and stuff)
ahh yes, player one, brash and impulsive this is your protagonist, player two, upbeat and young their ignorance allows things to be explained to the audience, player three, a bit of a hothead and a big guy to contrast to player two smallness.
and of course to round out the cast, the obligatory girl.
please, please, in the name of the gods of overused game tropes, I beg you to make sure she has more of a personality than “female, lol” because I like this comic and I like that you now have at least one lady (lady cat) in it. please let her be nether a “fake gamer gurl” nor yet the reactionary “real gamer gurl” that one sees so often.
Celesse is going to do good on this, because well she knows first hand being someone who plays games and just happens to be female is like. Also has many friends who are the same and some who work in the videogame industry like me. Which is someone who hates the term “GirlGamer” and thinks it silly because boys don’t go around calling themselves MANGAMERS.
So don’t sweat. She’s going to write her as realistically as you can write a cat who plays videogames and happens to be female.
The glasses remind me of the nurd girl meme. I expect her to over react to something a typical gamer wouldn’t even notice, and have the real gamer girl cat come and call her out on it.
Maybe she’s not meant to be “truly badass”. Maybe she’s just going to be a girl gamer cat and we don’t need to rank her badassery levels and just like her and it doesn’t matter what she plays.

‘Atta girl. (mine loves the Assassin’s Creed games as well. so I know this feel from when I first found out. XD)

I can only imagine how difficult it can be for a cat to get a prescription for eyeglasses.
CelesseAdministrator
She probably just went to one of those stands with a bunch of standard prescriptions and tried some on until she found a good one.
SotiCoto
I’ve got a t-shirt with a picture of a cat in glasses on it.
It represents my two favouritest things in the whole wide world: Cats and Glasses.
Zwepher
Are you saying that girls don’t gravitate towards AC?
CelesseAdministrator
I’m saying guys don’t seem to expect girls to gravitate towards AC.
SotiCoto
It isn’t like Ubisoft are exactly a good game company.
Some guys would expect girls to have better taste in games. =p
Ororo Monroe
Yah. But honestly, it’s just prejudiced. I know I love ‘guy’ stuff, like sports, Comic Books, Video games, ect. I think this comic is really cool!!!
pOkEgAmEr7
8D she’s adorable! and ohhh Gamercat u be blushen x3
Zenos
Who else is betting that Sweet and GaMERCaT will be having a little rivalry for hand– >ahem< I mean, paw?
Treb
Count me in, though I think Glitch would the best chance.
ExplosiveBubbles
i have a felling she’s only going to join their group because she thinks glitch is cute :3

Just what the Doctor Mario prescribed. Cool! I can’t wait to see what her personality is like.

please let her just be a girl who plays games.
CelesseAdministrator
I swear on my 3DS that I will endeavor to subvert the “obligatory girl” trope and make her a character worthy of existing.

Yessss, thank you! And thanks pencilears for your comment, was browsing the other comments in dismay until I saw yours.

Now for her to turn out to be a hard like ex-navy, or soft yet competent enough to beat gamercat on occasion.

Silly commenters, that’s not GAMERCaT’s “I-think-I’m-in-love” face, it’s his “I-did-not-expect-this-surprising-turn-of-events” face.

Tis a lie!

Tis the truth.
Hee Hee!

Screw You
Searz
And you pick AC of all games.. :/
I feel like this is a missed opportunity. A truly badass girl would be one that picks up Dark Souls.
PikaPiNOPE
I second this. >_>

Maybe she’s not meant to be “truly badass”. Maybe she’s just going to be a girl gamer cat and we don’t need to rank her badassery levels and just like her and it doesn’t matter what she plays.
