Amber and BLUE look a whole lot alike and even have the same haircut.

so lemme get this straight:

man pressures woman for physical relationship she does not want as well as deeper seated emotional attractions and woman rejects him- slick, you bastard!

woman wants physical relationship (albeit not as heavily as slick, though that may be thanks to slick being more for comedy) from man who does not want it as well as deeper emotional attractions- criminy, you bastard!

Where is anybody saying that Crim is a bastard? I mean, I think it was kinda not cool how Crim showed interest in going out with Amber again but then never even acknowledged she existed after that, but that's failing on Tat's part rather than Crim's.

Blue may think that Crim is a bastard for this, I don't honestly think this is the case though, but that would be because she has shown that she really does not like him at all. And this is something that would add to it. But honestly, I do not think Blue is going to use Amber for any kind of set-up to break up Crim and Fuchsia. Even if Blue doesn't really approve of the relationship much, even if she doesn't like Crim, and wants Fyoosh to come back to the manor - with her - she's not dumb. She knows that doing such a thing would hurt Fyoosh. Blue refrained from killing Crim because she knew it would hurt Fyoosh, so why would she just suddenly do something to break her up with a guy she really likes, that she know would hurt her.

Really. Her face in that second to last panel? That isn't the face of someone who is angry. Or plotting something heinous to break her best friend's heart. That's the face of someone who is sympathetic - the face of someone who understands how it feels to pine for someone and they don't even really acknowledge that you exist anymore.

i think a blue/amber alliance would be an amusing love square for a bit, trying to break up fyoosh/crim and failing miserably, of course

bonus points if blue and amber hook up instead at the end. we all know blue needs some more love, these days things are so sad for her

I find this one of the most interesting comics to date.

Blue is most likely looking Crim up because she's worried about Fuchsia. This could lead to 3 outcomes:

1. She tells Fuchsia in the hope she dumps Crim.

Now the first thing that popped into my head is this... But considering the date, this was eons ago. Amber also apparantly stopped trying to make contact with Crim when she realized he could not be interested (and maybe he wasn't, or he was but was too shy - it is Crim). I don't see how Fuchsia would react badly to this unless we're in a cheap Hollywood dramamovie.

2. She tells Crim and in her way tries to tell him to be more mindful of Fuchsia.

Blue doesn't know Crim fully and might see this as a threat to Fuchsia that he'd break her heart due to ignorance. It would show a kind side of Blue - but it might make Fuchsia angry because it would make it look like Blue doesn't trust Fuchsia to fix things on her own.

3. She does nothing.

Were this a normal world, this would seem like the most likely outcome. There's not much she could really do - Crim already seems devoted to Fuchsia and Fuchsia has made up her mind.

I think if I were Blue I would not worry about Crim - I'd worry more about D deciding to have her back as employee, considering her abrupt escape. Perhaps Blue could start a Witness Relocation Program for devils.

As for Amber herself - I hope she has moved on and not turned into one of those 'forever pining' type of girls.
