I know she watched her father commit suicide, which I can understand feeling anger about, but was he said to be a douche other than that? I can't recall

[(Anonymous)]

No, he was said to be a great guy, which is the problem.

[(Anonymous)]

Everyone is upset with him because of the lack of note/message combined with the perceived suddenness of his suicide and the lack of an obvious trigger for his suicide.

Basically, everyone thought everything in his life was great and then he removed himself from their lives in the most permanent way possible and didn't tell anyone why - leaving his whole family to try and figure out why he didn't want to stay with them anymore.

(This was so traumatic that his daughter ended up having a mental breakdown that required hospitalization and affected her ability to form close emotional bonds with men for years after the even. - less relevant because it's not a strictly predictable reaction to his suicide)

Obviously something was very wrong with him and he likely needed help, but he never reached out to his family for help (likely deliberately hid it from his family) nor did he feel the need to explain why he was removing himself from their lives.

I can understand why someone would be very upset by this.

[(Anonymous)]

This is gross

[dethtoll]

Oh, is this a thread where I can talk about how terrible QC really is and how I've gone through older strips trying to find the spot where it started to suck and came to the awful realization that it was #1?

[(Anonymous)]

no that's every other thread we've had about QC that you've responded to

[dethtoll]

which was like, one, a while back, lol

[(Anonymous)]

If you want it to be, I'm not stopping you. I like the strip, but then again, I like almost everything I read no matter how trashy.

[(Anonymous)]

Because it was so very fascinating the first dozen times you've ranted about it.

[dethtoll]

Considering I've only done it once, your math is off.

[vethica]

I dunno, is that necessary?

[(Anonymous)]

What's that? Something you don't like is objectively bad? That's almost unheard of from you.

Bonus, my GF (who is hardly ever on FS) saw me typing this comment and asked "Who're you talking to? Is it Dethtoll?. You're getting stale man.

[dethtoll]

lol

[(Anonymous)]

I agree.

[(Anonymous)]

deets on this? i'm not familiar with the comic

TW SUICIDE

[(Anonymous)]

It's a girl (Faye) and her mother, talking about Faye's father, who had committed suicide, in front of her, when she was very young. They're kind of angry about it.

Re: TW SUICIDE

[(Anonymous)]

Slightly more complicated than that.

1) He didn't know she was there. - Then again, he was in his own backyard, no way to know that one of his kids wouldn't be the first to find the body.

2) There was no obvious trigger for his suicide, he did not appear depressed prior to the suicide and he left no message making an already difficult situation that much harder by depriving them of closure.

[(Anonymous)]

A response to the first comment explains everything

[(Anonymous)]

Not really, I still can't tell if this is solely a comic or if it really happened to real people somewhere.

[(Anonymous)]

How he was treated. I'm sure the author has forgotten about him, like the other 3/4 of the cast.

[dethtoll]

This.

cw: rl suicide

[kijikun]

(yes the content warning is a little silly given the secret but rl suicide might be more upsetting to some)

My father commented suicide when I was 13 (he was what we now called bipolar but then called manic-depressive). He didn't do it in front of me (thank god). But it still fucked me up like you wouldn't believe. And I love him, I love him dearly. And I understand (now) that he was sick (and I'm sick with the same thing - Bipolar and depressive disorder). That doesn't mean I wasn't angry. That doesn't mean I'm still not angry. Because even at 33 I still want my daddy and I still don't completely get why I wasn't worth living for.

So for all QC often gets wrong - and I stopped reading it years ago now - Faye and her mom's anger really rings true. Because now how much you understand, no matter how much you forgive, you can still be angry.

Re: cw: rl suicide

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's unfair that the characters hate him and think he's a terrible person, but I also know it's one of the many reactions real people have, and emotions are rarely fair. The way the author seems to agree, though, is what really propels this into disgust for me.

Re: cw: rl suicide

[kijikun]

Have you considered that maybe the author has had someone in his like commit suicide?

It might be unfair, but it's realistic. If I were Faye I'd be telling people to stop talking shit about my dad, because its one thing for me and my mom to be pissed at him still and say shit about him but its another thing for 'outsiders' to. But I'm not Faye.

Like I said, I have issues with how QC started going later and stopped reading it, but I never had an issues with that part. I understand though why others would. I just thought I'd give the point of view from someone whose father had killed himself.
