That's been one of the best parts of this ship since the beginning that and the ship itself
dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria

I think it might be more that Peanut in a sense just said he still sort of carrying a torch for her, granted not as heavily as it use to be. At least that's how I look at. Honestly, Grape and Max I think have always had a strange chemistry in their relationship with her apparently having some serious wandering-eye syndrome for any muscular feline (and canines if last strip was any indicator) that I don't think is all that different from Peanut and Tarot in way. Main difference though is that I think their relationship is actually improving, if gradually, that even if Grape enjoys being semi-couple-y with Peanut every now and again it won't be an issue.trekkie wrote:It could be that Grape is blushing because she realizes that she might be doing more for Peanut than for Max, and she needs to work on that.
While the hunk chasing aspect of her relationship is a negative, the two of them have shown to bury the torch on that. It's up to Grape to keep it in check, which I'm sure she intends to. Max has faith in her at this point and I doubt Grape will abuse that.pokeblue wrote:Glad to see that this ship is sort of still around.

That said, I'm not trying to say Peanut and Tarot aren't improving in their relationship, but it's moments like this when Tarot's more calculated and logical side is out, or when she's worried about something cataclysmic happening (granted I don't think I can fault her in that respect), that it feels like for every step forward they end up taking a step back. So I'm kinda looking forward to seeing how this bit of heart-to-heart will go for them.

... you’re suggesting he just be single and self reliant right? Even without Grape’s provocation, he said he wanted a girlfriend, so why would he not pick one, assuming they are gonna break upbiddyfox wrote:Has anyone considered that maybe Peanut doesn't have to pick one or the other?

Not at all! I'm suggesting he simultaneously (with all involved parties agreeing of course) date Tarot and Grape both. Perhaps even Max too (Peanut actually has four paws so that works fine.)Gameb18oy wrote:... you’re suggesting he just be single and self reliant right?biddyfox wrote:Has anyone considered that maybe Peanut doesn't have to pick one or the other?

You mean like the breakdown she had here?Fish Preferred wrote:Keep in mind that a big part of their relationship consisted of Tarot following orders from Dragon, Peanut mistaking Dragon for Tarot, and Dragon directly getting in the way like this. She may not even know how to relax anymore now that she has no divine power backing her, so I'd expect Tarot to try to maintain control over everything. That or have a nervous breakdown.
I feel like this isn’t the only time that’s happened... you know I’m mentally groaning considering this, but considering Tarot’s connection to a demigod... do you think Rick thought it be funny to give her a god complex? (Or just a straightforward superior complex as that be simpler)Vanice wrote:You mean like the breakdown she had here?Fish Preferred wrote:Keep in mind that a big part of their relationship consisted of Tarot following orders from Dragon, Peanut mistaking Dragon for Tarot, and Dragon directly getting in the way like this.

Max and Grape's relationship has seen a reasonable amount of development, and I think that Grape's affection for Max is very genuine. She does have a bad case of Wandering Eye Syndrome, though. And in the case of Res, it feels like there's a bit of wandering heart there as well.pokeblue wrote:Glad to see that this ship is sort of still around.

I agree totally with this and I get a feeling this might actually be where things end up. The earlier thing with Sasha and Fox hinted towards pet relationship dynamics not being one to one to human social norms (they really have no reason to be) so I think it's a definite possibility. It'd also be a good way of appeasing both the grapenut and grapemax(?) parties, though i do think Rick should do exactly what he wants with the story without trying too hard to appease the fandom.Niara wrote:Honestly, as much as I doubt I'll ever see it done in any source of public story media... My hope has always (and continues to be), that one of these days, in one of these arcs, we might arrive at the lesson that... much as it might surprise some people, poly relationships are a thing, and they can and do exist in well communicated and emotionally/mentally healthy manners, wherever people can relax back from feeling compelled to follow the more common arbitrary social/religious norms.
I never took what Griswold says there literally. Isn't he just trying to make himself look bad, like everyone else is doing?HundKatzeMaus wrote:I just wanted to throw this in and remind everyone, that Pets do not have the same view on relationships as humans do.
I just read back on the Sasha thing... and was that the first time Fox considered he might have a crush on Sasha? Also, I think that actually implied the opposite of what you were getting at. If Sasha of all characters didn’t want a guy who had multiple girls, I think more often than not, most of the pets prefer to only have to deal with one other partnerHundKatzeMaus wrote:I just wanted to throw this in and remind everyone, that Pets do not have the same view on relationships as humans do.
So while I don't think the arc will end in a polyamorous relationship (not that I mind) it would not be so strange as we (humans) may think.
Also even if Peanut and Grape aren't blood related and just adopted siblings, there is still the possibility that their sibling bond still prevents them from getting together as a couple. Also before they just hang around each other before going more outside to meet others.
I could imagine this arc doesn't end with a change of relationship, but more with some much needed character development for Peanut and Tarot or at least more insight into them.
Afterall, during the BC arc we did saw how they care for each other.

I agree. We shouldn't assume that all pets have the same mindset on relationships based on one or two pets especially if again that pet's idea is skewed to the point of over exaggeration for the sake of Fox's scheme. I think for the most part pets have a general monogamous ideal for relationships given what we've seen from them.
