Also, I just noticed that Yay has AI collar line in panel one, but human collar bones in panels 2-4 instead... (fake collar line built into jacket?)
My money's still on Yay being a neuro-divergent (almost undoubtedly a system) human mind uploaded into multiple AI bodies.

Yay is my ghost vegetable.
I'd say spirit animal, but they would find that too blase' for them.

Can we just appreciate that Yay wore a jacket to come see Aurelia?
2021-11-29 17:58:51 +0000 UTC
I like the idea of Yay as an emergency contact for emotional turmoil.

That checks out, because depending on their mood, one hour can feel as exhausting as 30 straight hours (just ask Roko)
Nicolas Demers
2021-11-29 02:17:09 +0000 UTC
Also, Yay is like thirty people at once, so spending one hour with Yay accumulates to 30 hours of interaction. That's how that works, right?

More time may have passed than we realize. Also, they know each other's secrets. That can have a real bonding effect on people.

Or, when Yay realized his new friend, Aurelia had 2 adult children, they looked up and analyzed all the relevant information on "Parenting" and have it ready at their fingertips.
Michael Boettger
2021-11-28 20:20:30 +0000 UTC
I wonder if anyone has taken a comic in to a hairdresser as a reference before :)
Andrew
2021-11-28 19:50:11 +0000 UTC
I know the strip needs people we know to be having these conversations but didn't Aurelia only meet Yay in the last couple of days and only chat to her for like 30 mins? Seems an odd person to contact when you need some emotional support.
David Durant
2021-11-28 19:41:31 +0000 UTC
Is it me, or is Yay showing more emotions in their expressions?
David Pipes
2021-11-28 19:01:31 +0000 UTC
I just love how Yay looks in this, they look like how I wanted to look in my early 20s but I'm a few weeks from 30 and am a chonk
I am the captian now
2021-11-28 16:28:35 +0000 UTC
Cosmo is the one who recognized an Aurelia emergency and summoned Yay, of course they're sticking around.

I must say, that Yay trenchcoat is just as nice that crop top.

Does anybody have a link to an online tutorial for Yay's hairstyle? Asking for a friend.

Yay is a good friend, and Aurelia is a good Mom. Sometimes people need some time to digest their emotions, though, before they can process the information they perceived without the filters automatically applied by their emotions and neurosis
Thomas Halpin

I love a cropped sweatshirt. Or a cropped anything. I do love the overcoat with it tho.
2021-11-28 04:23:32 +0000 UTC
Imma put this here because I don't know any other way to reach you. Would you be interested in being a guest on Creators Corner? It's a show on the YouTube channel Planet Flipside. It plays live on Saturdays at 8pm EST (9pm in Nova Scotia) and show lengths tend to run an hour. We have an open chat so you can interact with fans and answer questions. I would like to pencil you in for a Saturday in January, if you are available. We would love to have you.

I'm going to pretend there's a snoot poking up in frame 3 or perhaps 4, dogs are an empathetic part of the conversation.

Also coffee is traditionally spelt with 2 rather than 3 e's :)
Ethan Fremen

She's been "looking for a job" rather than "looking a job" in the second panel
Ethan Fremen
2021-11-28 03:47:50 +0000 UTC
The most impressive thing about Yay's response in panel four is that they condensed a billion pages of information and its complexity and condensed it into a few relevant sentences.
Matt Grayson
2021-11-28 03:36:54 +0000 UTC
Pressing Yay's bellybutton causes you and all records of your existence to vanish.
Matt Grayson
2021-11-28 03:31:46 +0000 UTC
It seems to be a common hair style these days, and yes, there's something about that.... 🥵
Drazi
2021-11-28 03:30:46 +0000 UTC
Does Yay have an AI-like neckline in panel 1, but which disappears in the ensuing panels? i.e., just collarbones in the last 3 panels?

Carin Maja Brooks
2021-11-28 02:49:55 +0000 UTC
Because the contrast of over coat to half sweat top needs to be shocking, and surprising... and Yay has a massive enough ego to do a contrasting wardrobe like that.

I’m going to ask: does Yay have a bellybutton? Does pressing alleged bellybutton change her Ghost in the Shell style hair to a more cyberpunk color?
Miyaa
2021-11-28 02:29:14 +0000 UTC
oh good she did come over. also, why does yay need a coat? fashion i suppose.

So, what, does Aurelia have Yay’s phone number? I think this is the first time Yay has been summoned. They always just appear. Well, Melon maybe….
Matt Grayson
2021-11-28 02:24:28 +0000 UTC
Second panel, Aurelia's speech bubble is missing some words in the first sentence.

As a boob-haver, most of my 'shirts I only wear at home' are stretched out, due to age. They started as v-necks and became more so.
Jennifer Doyle
2021-11-28 02:19:35 +0000 UTC
At first glance, Cosmo's position made it appear as if Aurelia suddenly had a very large, grey dong.

And here I am wondering if Yay was going to show some underboob. Which got me to wondering if Yay has anything that would show as underboob.
BobC
2021-11-28 02:16:31 +0000 UTC
Why is everyone wearing shirts with deep v-necks?
Is there a fashion trend that I'm unaware of?
Does the QC cast just have a thing for stretched shirts?
Elberik
