Panel #1. She HAS realised. She just can't admit it to herself.

Peanut is just adorable.

He just likes new experiences is all~

I resent the alt text though.

Yeah, I also think the joke is that Peanut doesn't take anything seriously, so when Grape tells him that, he just thinks it is another joke.

Peanut is such a precious doggo and he wouldn't like the people he loves dead!

P.D. this also counts for the murder jokes on Spot.

Yeah, I'm really curious whether Rick's intending to break them up or redefine or solidify the relationship. The possibilities are pretty open

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Mar 11, 2019 9:55 pm

If I had to guess, I would say he's going to split them up because the only couple we had split up really was Basha but I will be happy either way he goes.

I wonder if Tarot is going to use whatever psychic power she has left to peer into Peanuts subconscious and see how he thinks in an attempt to better understand him. I’m curious to see the inner workings of his mind.

Is there something that you want to point out but are missing some context?

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 12:05 pm

Tarot seems a bit concerned, which is good because it does show, I think that she cares about Peanut. As for Peanut, he might not be fully paying attention, or he might recognize that Grape isn’t being serious, I hope it is one of the two, at least,

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 5:31 pm

Hmmm, On Twitter Rick says the ending is going to be weird. I'm very interested. I wonder if the ending might be something like this: Tarot breaks off the relationship and everyone thinks that Peanut is going to be angry/upset; however, it turns out he is fine with it. Not because of his usual reasoning of being ok with everything, but because he wanted to end the relationship too but couldn't bring himself to do it because he's too nice and didn't want to hurt Tarot. That is an unexpected and a weirdish twist IMO.

Edit: If they stay together it could be something like secretly one of them wanted to break it off but didn't because they didn't want to hurt the other. However, that seems less weird and more depressing. Unless he wants to go way off the wall with it and involve magic or the supernatural somehow these are my best guesses at the moment.

Can't wait for the plot twist where Peanut dates everyone. Because he likes everyone. x3

'Weird', eh? I wonder if it will be revealed that Peanut was actually a Skrull for years and will reveal that others are hidden among them...or probably Tarot will reveal she wants to break up and Peanut takes it as something completely different and thinks she wants to break his copy of the film UP.

This is the actual tweet.
*writes to end of current Housepets arc* Huh, well, this is gonna be weird

Let's break down this one sentence. What could it mean?

My opinion is that Peanut and Tarot do break up and because they have been dating since Year 2 (since no one other than Bino has broken up with anyone before) the act of them breaking up is "weird."

Or the entire arc itself is weird because Tarot uses "weird magic" on Peanut and high jinks ensue.

There also was someone asking if it was good weird or awkward weird, which Rick replied “yes” to. Feel that’s a very odd statement to make, though... if it’s a breakup arc and Rick just feels it be good for their relationship to change, that would fit what he’s saying

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 7:08 pm

Maybe Maxwell and Grape have decided to break off their romantic relationship but maintain a close friendship, with a snuggling/dating option like Grape and Peanut have, or the four of them have a magical adventure that causes they to form a close bond with each other.

Tarot magically splits onto Serious Tarot and Actually In Love With Peanut Tarot. Serious Tarot ends up partnering with Karishad purely platonically for Mad Science.

That would be really interesting and it could lead to a lot of neat storylines down the road. Doubt that will happen but it would be really weird.

Saying "yes" like that really doesn't mean anything. It's just annoying. He might as well say "I can neither confirm or deny this statement."

Well, I mean do you want him to specify a type of ending? He won't. It's usually more fun this way.

If I had to hazard a guess, Draig will get involved to start making amends for how she treated them.

THAT would be a interesting evolution for Draig (Which is Dragon, right?) as I always felt she meant well but was misguided in areas.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 9:52 pm

Plus it would be a bit funny since I doubt any of them know that Draig is really Dragon.

fenrirblack · Post by **fenrirblack** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 10:19 pm

Thinking back I don’t think Dragon has seen Peanut since Gallifrax. The time travel doesn’t count since that was pre-crush. As much as I’m opposed to Dragon appearing in Peanuts life again, fox or not, I am curious to see if she still has feelings for him.

That could be kinda cute

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Mar 13, 2019 9:39 am

I'm sure it would but if Peanut does spend some time with her I hope it isn't taken the wrong way.

fenrirblack · Post by **fenrirblack** » Wed Mar 13, 2019 1:21 pm

Could you imagine Peanut babysitting those two? Like all the ferals go on an Opener Cult excursion while Zach and Jess go on a date so Kix has to get someone to watch Pete and Dragon so Peanut is the most likely choice. Probably Kitsune's idea. When it comes to those two, his mean streak comes out.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Mar 13, 2019 9:01 pm

Mean would be forcing King and Bailey to do it. Kitsune getting Peanut to do it I could see working because even though people doubt how mature he is sometimes he can prove them wrong and I do think that deep down Kitsune DOES care.

fenrirblack · Post by **fenrirblack** » Wed Mar 13, 2019 9:25 pm

Kitsune does care he just goes to extreme measures to ensure everyone is where they are supposed to be and learn a valuable lesson that will help them through life. Everyone's happiness is high on his list of priorities except probably Pete's best interest. Pete is honestly lucky he hasn't been tossed into Pandemonium which if he did end up there by the end of the series I would not be surprised. If I'm being more honest, if King did babysit those two, he would most likely ensure that would happen.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:03 am

Oh great. Now I have forgotten something within the series that I should probably know. Tell me, what's Pandemonium? Besides a B2K album.

Pandæmonium is the capital of Hell in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost.

It's "the city of all demons". It was built by the daemons in one day of solid gold, but they had to shrink to fit in it so I assume it's kind of like commercial airline seats.

Peanut may love everybody, but not everybody likes/can put up with Peanut. Their relationship does have that fact that Tarot loves Peanut going for it.

fenrirblack wrote:My prediction will be something will happen that forces them to examine their relationship and right before you think they are going to make it work and be better than ever, Tarot breaks up with Peanut after coming to the conclusion that they are either incompatible or that the relationship is going nowhere and it would be better to end it now than break Peanut’s heart down the road. In other words by the end of this one way or another they are going to break up.

Then we focus on breaking up Max and Grape....

I don't think there will be something as dramatic as a breakup this arc. It's not set up to finish at the end of the year

Peanut was very much bothered in the Save the Date arc with the 3 (4) puppies.

I know some people said that he has ADHD or something, but... is he actually insane?
Or is it that he just doesn't pay ANY attention to the activities suggested to him, and whenever he hears things like "we're gonna", just instantly thinks "it's an activity they wanna do, then fine, let's do it!"?
Peanut is more than capable of recognizing hyperbole. I'm pretty sure he knows she's not being serious and is just playing along like he always does, which is her point.

I ~~think~~ hope Peanut trusts Grape enough to recognize she wasn't being literal.

Peanut's an intelligent dog. Which is the more likely scenario from Peanut's perspective: that Grape is actually going to do that or there's something else going on.

Yes, but Peanut's an exception. Even though he's not an avatar, Dragon still protected him on their adventures..

It's important to remember that "weird for Housepets!" is a bit differnet than "weird in general". As an example, this is par for the course.

I think Tarot was referring to whatever was able to Physically hurt him.

I was referring to the Psychological damage. If it was truly Physical, Everyone would notice. Remember, I also added that Grape got wary when she read that strip on Spot burning Elves in Santa's workshop, and Peanut uses Spot as a sorta author avatar insert.

Yes, you did add that. It's also very clearly grasping at straws

There's nothing in the story thus far that really supports your idea, and to the contrary even, Peanut has been shown not to be disturbed by strange aeons

If You're talking to me, then there is nothing that supports your theory either.

There is a Difference between shrugging off the Super Natural and casually leaning on the Forth Wall, and Then there is acting like a Reverse of the Pyro.

And by the way, the only thing I added, was what One commenter pointed out to me, that Peanut uses Spot as an Author Surrogate.
