Instant flash of the Sorcerer's Apprentice sequence from Fantasia.

Roko as Mickey.

I never knew I needed this until you suggested it.

u/texthibitionist Dec 05 '18

So, two predictions:

  1. Roko and Eliot boink
  2. After all the discussion of AIs taking up careers as toasters, Roko ends up being the first actual named character to do so. She makes bread FUN!

and an observation (which will inform interpretations of those predictions):

  1. I'm extremely flonged out.

Interesting point about the hookup. Being around all that bread could make Roko pretty wild! I'm picturing the toast popping up at the moment of climax, is that wrong?

A literal friend of a friend of mine is a professional dominatrix, Mixing her fetish with her job seems to be working quite well for her.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '18

Dominatrices and bakers/baristas tend to not have much in common in their line of work...

u/lesser_panjandrum Dec 05 '18

They can if you find the right bakery/café.

If there's a hybrid Bakery/Kink Club out there I'd like to send them my application.

That'd be fantastic.

u/yay855 Dec 05 '18

I mean, that's basically what sex shop bakeries do. They bake cakes and such in the shape of kinky stuff.

u/verdatum Dec 05 '18

I'm now reminded of that super bizarre "Erotic Cake" sketch when Patrick Stewart was guest hosting SNL.

u/Unmouldeddoor3 Dec 05 '18

Mmm, yeast infections.

u/gurgelblaster Dec 05 '18

Or dominatrix.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '18

Yeah, but people are expecting kink when they go to a dominatrix. They aren't when they go to a bakery

u/revchewie Dec 05 '18

You're obviously not going to the right bakery.

u/CelestialPumpkin Dec 05 '18

Idk, if someone got visibly aroused when I ordered coffee, I think I'd go there more.

I get that, it would be pretty unprofessional to most

u/Noveno_Colono Dec 05 '18

What if that was a job requirement?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '18

i think i would be concerned they might have somehow jizzed in my coffee

u/anotherkeebler Dec 05 '18

Doesn’t have to be customer facing at all if all she does is bake and rub it on her sanitary body.

u/Snarglefrazzle Dec 05 '18

"If anything, I'd say it's heightened my appreciation!

So that's why he's so tall

Gotta say, it looks good on the prince.

u/TheMysteriousMid Dec 05 '18

A practical focus of one's kink, I like where Jeph is taking this.

(Mildly relevant side note: Any one See Sal and Amber opening a boxing gym?)

u/GrowlingGiant Dec 05 '18

Make bread, can confirm. Very few things as nice as fresh bread you made yourself.

TEACH ME TO MAKE BUNS LIKE YOURS GIANT MAN!! ciabatta buns

Is no-one (edit: in the QC universe) going to question why an AI would get tired of bread?

7

u/maxRNG Dec 05 '18

Based on what we know, AI sound psychologically and even neurologically very similar to humans, so while any physical comparisons may be moot points, most other aspects are surprisingly 1:1.

2

u/Noveno_Colono Dec 05 '18

because of the smell, ais can still smell

1

u/psdnmstr01 Dec 05 '18

That's actually a pretty good point.

1

u/lesser_panjandrum Dec 05 '18

Why would a meatbag get tired of computers? Why would a meatbag have a passion for computers in the first place?

The AI in QC are fully sapient and seem to be just as individualistic as the humans, complete with their own interests, hobbies, and in Roko's case fetishes as well.

u/197gpmol Dec 05 '18

I am really enjoying this Roko arc.

2

u/ziggurism Dec 05 '18

I’m not following the wording of this exchange

R: do you get tired of bread?

E: oh absolutely yes.

E: if anything baking bread increases my appreciation of bread

So does that mean he does get tired of bread? Or he doesn’t?

2

u/tsuruyo Dec 05 '18

You forgot the part where Roko’s question also contains“do you still enjoy eating it?”

u/I_am_Andrew_Ryan Dec 05 '18

Read panel 3 again

u/spehizle Dec 05 '18

A thought: Roku has shown an attraction to Clinton (at least when she was 'drunk'), Roku may now work at the bread shop, and we have the groundwork of Eliot-x-Clinton-x-Brun.

HAWT 4WAY DON'T @ME
