Truth Will Out

Aurelia has a new kid

Carin Maja Brooks

this says something about people

And we have the winning comment. We can all go home now.

Ted Van Roekel

Or like Naomi Wu's husky?

BobC

Reminds me of Spock's VGER description from STTMP... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h7Nm4o3aHY

Michael Voorhis

Everyone in QC is secretly a total goober at heart.

Justin Alexander

Mom-vibes = bullet hell with infinite bullets that also happen to be blue koopa shells...

Leak

The optimist in me hopes he has a wonderful relationship with his mom irl.

Adam Abbott

Now I want to know if Jeph had this in mind from the end of the Corpse Witch story line, which seemed to end with the Spookybots being smugly content, or whether he thought later "Hey, wait a minute, that probably kinda sucks!" https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3418

Mark

Perfect application of those lyrics.

Clifton Royston

'Cause when love is gone There's always justice And when justive is gone There's always force And when force is gone, There's always Mom. Hi Mom!

Ísabel Pirsic

Powerful Mom Vibes is the name of my line of bespoke sex toys

Todd Ellner

Which one? Maybe both.

Rich Holmes

Super AI is no match for mom. You can't learn that from a neural net.

Chris Heg

lol project 2501

Dennis Wright

milkCHAIR milkCHAIR milkCHAIR milkCHAIR milkCHAIR milkCHAIR milkCHAIR

Nash Wolfe

I think this isnwhat defines humanity. That there's no defense against mom energy.

I am the captian now

Yay discovers that they need a family as well as a friend.

Stephen Wells

so good to see the AI's are not immune to "Mom".

Marc Tabor

This whole storyline is hitting right in all the feels.

Aww I want to be Yay's friend

Kuragari

Aww

Randall Norman Pick

Looks just like when Data installed his Emotion Chip.

BobC

awwww Yay

So, is Aurelia's stream still just running?

With the exception of the fact that they are powerful, I Feel Yay

Jessie Basham

This is the single most optimistic work of science fiction I've ever read. I love it.

Kyle Rudy

Powerfull Mom-Vibes

Krestus

"Yay is a total goober" We knew *that* already! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3924

Mark

I am the host of my stream Cow is my body, Milk is my blood I have created over a thousand maids Unknown to simps, nor known to trolls Have withstood fame to create many subscribers Yet this face will never appear anywhere So as I pray, Unlimited Mom Vibes!

Evgeniy Semyonov

Wow! Just...y'know...Wow!

Jeffrey Anderson

She's totally going to adopt Yay.

Chris Crowther

Mom always win

Bagge

This has got to be the most wholesome scene in the comic ever.

Onyx

False! “Indescribably Powerful” is itself a description. Godel strikes again.

Shane Wegner

There, that's why AIs hang out with people. It's no fun being awesome for no-one.

SpookyPenguin

In this strip we see the most powerful being in the QC universe, and she is comforting Yay.

Daniel Blom Paulsen

All moms ever: WE HAVE WAYS OF MAKING YOU TALK!

Leak

They'll be fine! She raised them right

What a TWIST!

Forgettable

I wanna point out she just... abandoned her stream to come talk to YAY

Tova_Nator

I squee'd at how genuinely wholesome this is <3

Bollthorn

Next up: Cosmo meets AZATHOTH.

Auros Harman

I thought some were on the mooon, which would make that logistically difficult. But I'm sure there are others who are on Earth, so some could.

Some Ed

This is adorably wholesome

Streb

ALL OF THEM

Kilonum

That sounds horribly dirty. Are they waterproof? May need a shower afterwards.

Drazi

Oh, spookybot! 😭

KCkittysnores

Yay is The Great Gazoo.

TV4Fun

Hercules came second I think.

Jason Holmes

Mom vibes intensify

HillaryGayle

I was gonna say is there a single character in this comic that ISN'T a goober?

Hooo boy she's going to have to be mind-wiped or something after this...

Daniel S

oh my doG this is delightful

Charles Fitt

How many Yay-bods are tearing up right now?

Auros Harman

Perhaps Bubbles can offer some tips on removing one's armor.

Sleepy John

Jeph's mom characters are great. Their powers are so strong.

Tannerbot

Yay met Roko first

James Lomele

i am loving this storyline.

Ashley Thomas

Roko is their first non-canine friend? I think Hercules would like a word.

TV4Fun

SO WEIRD that a character in this webcomic would be a total goober. So weird. So. Weird. --N

Nobilis Reed (personal)

help help I'm melting in a puddle on the floor

Lucas Werkmeister

Methinks someone was not happy scuttling under the floorboards, and has found someone who is honest and not threatening. That's powerful stuff.

Sleepy John

Yay is genderless.

Populuxe

Yay is genderless.

Populuxe

BEST. MOM. EVER.

Populuxe

Yay is baby

The Bird

i love them

runrin

Yay needs a good defragging.

Michael Keogh

I wonder if the other Yays will converge on this location for a big group mom hug

Mad Marie

Her full name is Yaaaay U. Goober.

Summer Sudbrink

I'm sure Yay will never underestimate it again

Nicolas Demers

This makes me want to give Yay a big hug

Everyone needs a Mom sometimes, even demigods.

Taellosse

I seem to recall someone (Roko?) saying they don't. I can't imagine it would be a standard thing, but I suppose if it were wanted it could be an available upgrade for some body models. I very much doubt it would be one Yay would've had installed in any of their bodies, though.

Taellosse

MOM VIBES!

Gaz

The power of your clever drugs is insignificant next to the power of the Mom Vibes.

Taellosse

Taking the revelations induced by mom vibes well is part of a mom's job. It also creates a resonant feedback loop with the mom vibes, making them stronger still. The better a mom is, the more powerful she becomes. Eventually, they evolve into their higher form: the Nanna (other known referrents include Gran, Grammy, Grandma, and others). The Granny Aura, an enhanced and concentrated form of Mom Vibes, also grants the wielder the ability to divine hidden truths from a target without their volunteering them first, and to comment on these observations with the same devastating psychic impact is a target of normal mom vibes own utterances. A Nanna's hugs are also 25% more soothing.

Taellosse

I know, but luckily Aurelia is RIGHT THERE and will do that for us since we can't.

Brooks Moses

They're reverting.

Alacrity Fitzhugh

She's like Momo. Not the QC one, the one by Michael Ende.

Ting

INFINITE mom-vibes

Jackson Mccreery

I have a wibbly lip and tears and oh man thank the universe for Aurelia because Yay needs all the hugs!!!

Katrina Urmson

Do AI have tear ducts? Like is Yay physically able to cry?

Dylan T

I just noticed that for the longest time Yay had circle boxes, but now they have square boxes like every other AI, is this intentional? Does this mean anything about their character development?

Poor Yay.

Chris Warren

For reference, this is the one: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1949

Bob Grannan

Station and Tilly too busy planning their wedding to notice, I suspect.

Miyaa

Don't underestimate the power of mom vibes.

TwoRavens

No. No onions, friend. Accept the feels.

Edward Clayton Andrews

In my headcanon there's a seventh panel akin to the bros who appeared in the library years ago and it's a bunch of moms who appear and whisper "Mom vibes" before disappearing. Some of them have still warm plates of cookies. And before you accuse me of stereotyping, some of the ones with cookies are big burly bears.

Bob Grannan

Things took an unexpected turn, and it basically started with May telling Roko to quit being a cop.

Aleks

You are the worst. Never change x

This is too sweet, help

Fart Captor

Wait till she goes goes over to Marten's, etal, apartment and casually mentions her new AI friend I front of Faye and Bubbles.

Michael Boettger

This kind of reminds me of that episode of Stargate, where Teal'c is interrogating a prisoner by just sitting there, saying nothing. He got a full confession and didn't even raise an eyebrow!

Grace Kieser

AND THEN THEY FUCKED!

Yelling Bird

Mom cuddles make everything better

Joel Bateman

Aw poor yay

The Shadow's Lair

It's the start of a beautiful friendship. I'd like to see some of the other Yays reacting. Also, I wonder if Station can sense this happening.

Mom vibes the strength of meth.

Daniel Rydberg

Turns out the indescribably powerful AI needed a hug. That checks out.

Yonatan Zunger

😥

Augh, I just want to hug them! I’ve been there. Well, not the all-powerful AI part.

Runhildr Zaetl

she is very powerful and I am not referring to Yay

Chris Henry

The CIA and the NSA will be recruiting Aurelia to debrief detainees any day now. And I must say she's taking this all rather well.

Michael Boettger

Didn’t even have to strike her down.

William Hanna

Imagine showing this panel to people back when Yay was first introduced in the "Bubbles's memories" arc

Morgan

Dang, I need some of Aurelia's mom vibes

NEVER underestimate the power of the mom-vibes

Niskara

Aurelia is more powerful than you can imagine.

Thomas Halpin

WHO KEEPS CUTTING ONIONS

Miyaa

SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS, YOU SAY

Agnes

IM GONNA CRY I JUST WANNA HUG THEM AND TELL THEM EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY

Tamara Macadam
