Forshadowing something and then covering it up with blunt humor. Peanut makes the worst situations that much better. Also Tarot is still horribly adorable!
Re: 2013/07/24 - Back Alley Dining
Just wanted to point out: It wouldn't be too farfetched if she wanted to talk to Peanut seriously about some long term goals. The whole "Daddy" thing though is just her poking fun at the idea of Peanut treating Grape like he was his own daughter, though it could also be a personal jab at how good Peanut would be if he was a father.pokeblue wrote:Well...I'd be lying if I said 'no' to this.

I do doubt that might be the case though, it's probably something else. That's not to say that possibility isn't a possibility.

Another possibility would be, that she is breaking up with him, but I really cannot imagine that.
As the present link text only is "[ link ]" there might have been some truth in it. Can somebody please tell me how the link text was before?

I voluntarily changed it because it was stupid, there was no "censorship." Since it's gone and of no relevance to the comic, there's really no further reason to discuss it.

I've alway's felt Peanut's still a bit ignorant about such things (even if instinct does rule the roost in such maters). Besides, isn't Tarot really one of those etherial's (like Pete)?

Re: 2013/07/24 - Back Alley Dining
I doubt that she's pregnant simply because I think Rick wants to keep intimacy of the "snuggles" couples in Housepets have as rather vague and PG. Just stating "They are doing the do." seems a bit un-PG, and not the type of thing Rick would do.

Well let's just say it would be very jarring for Peanut to be a father for a number of reasons, not least of them being that the pets still act a lot like kids.

As stated in the forum rules, discussion of pregnancy and such is fine; discussion of sexual activity is not.

Re: 2013/07/24 - Back Alley Dining
If Tarot is pregnant it surely will be a bombshell. However, I really doubt this will be the case considering that Peanut is one of the most innocent and oblivious characters of the cast, though it's still a possibility.
My first thought was the same I had at the end of the previous King's arc. I think Tarot has been dating with Karishad and now she's breaking up with Peanut. However if this actually happens it'll surely be a friendly break up. (Besides of all the images that we seen of Tarot and Kari, I think this theory is further enhanced by the knowing look of Sabrina when Tarot grabs the bouquet). And that's probably why she didn't want Grape or Max to be near just to make it less painful and embarrassing for Peanut.
Of course this is just a silly theory. Another one could be that she want to talk to him about Grape or about something she foresaw about him.

Someone tell the SpyKids parents(!) Mutual affection and attraction becomes a romantic relationship seven times out of ten. Plus Keene only works with (not for) Pete as his deceased owner shared some of the same goals. Keene can proceed without Pete.Argent wrote:Spy/counterspy is not a romantic relationship.

Re: 2013/07/24 - Back Alley Dining
I suddenly chuckle at the idea of Peanut going back to Grape, noticing Tarot isn't with him, and Peanut just telling her she gone off to fight a war with Spirit Dragon. Peanut clearly doesn't mind his girlfriend going off into a war at all. Grape's face i'm sure would speak volume afterwards.

Re: 2013/07/24 - Back Alley Dining
I actually think that's not a bad guess... if the game really is ending, that is. Pete did say he was forfeiting with or without King.IceKitsune wrote:That won't happen for a year and only if King says no to Pete, which he won't.BassGroove wrote:Remember how Pete said something about the game ending?

I'm not sure if she's actually going to lose them, but either way I'm sure that whatever she has to say has something to do with either her powers or the game as a whole and/or their involvement in it. It would be kind of interesting to see a side of Tarot that doesn't involve the whole psychic/occult thing.

I'm not saying all of them. Just the ones that only seem to manifest when Dragon takes over. It just sounded a little more plausible than the pregnancy arc. But anything could happen I suppose.Argent wrote:What makes you think Tarot's powers all come from Dragon?
