Don’t you see that was a joke? If she were purpousefully cruel to her, she wouldn’t have stoped once she saw her daugther’s sadness. By “not directly mean to her” I ment that none of her actions are directly made to make Apogee suffer. They are ethier “jokes gone wrong” or are directed at someone else. Whenever Delta realizes her actions hurt Apogee, she stops immidiately. This proves that she isn’t a “bitch to her daughter”.
 
@Background Pony #5C0E  
To be honest, I think that Delta might have concidered Jet as a “partner” but not realy as “husband material”. Not to say that she didn’t love him, but she had her priorities, and I think it’s safe to assume that Jet wasn’t one of them. Probably she just concidred him to be a “high school crush” or something like that.
 
@Background Pony #5C0E  
I discussed it on the ealier comic pages, but I think that Delta’s pride won’t allow her to do so. In her eyes, it would be liveing of someone else’s work. Besides, I doubt that Delta would do so, because of Apogee. She seems to see that her daughter doesn’t feel well with her Parent’s arguments. I think that Delta refuses to do so, because she doesn’t want to indirectly hurt Apogee by acting for her own “personal vendetta”. (Kinda the mirror of what Jet did to her)

@Armagedonus  

 
Still beg to differ.

@Background Pony #5C0E  
Part of why I prefer Jet is that at least he realized what he did and felt guilty enough to tell her the truth.

@AWGear  
She’d have alimony, if she’d take money from Jet.

@Meanlucario  
She isn’t really that bad to her daugther tough. She isn’t ever directly mean to her. She gives her food (even tough she probably doesn’t have enough money to get good food for herself) and she still shows that she cares about her.

@AWGear  
That’s the thing… Delta saw one path, her alone. She refused to even consider any other. This story might have gone much differently if she’d even given him some hope she might come back to him. Not everyone gets to be an astronaut, after all. If she’d said she’d be back if she couldn’t make the cut, maybe this would have been another story about a happy couple.
 
I’m not saying it was her responsibility to give him hope, either. Just that if she’d made different choices, he would have as well. She gave him no hope at all, and so, for love’s sake, he gambled, and for a time, he won.
 
Then he fucked up and told Delta what he did.

@AWGear  
I wouldn’t call drinking on a daily basis and being a bit of a bitch to her daughter “relatively happy,” more so “hate-filled denial.”

@Meanlucario  
I ment that in his eyes, what he did was for her. He seems to trurly belive that he wanted good for both of them. From outside viewer’s (and Delta’s) perspective, it’s easy to see where did the wrong thing.
 
And I generally prefere Delta, due to her tragic life, and the fact that even living in the junkyard, she manages to remain relatively happy.

@AWGear  
I’m not saying he’s evil, and I’ve said that I like him more than Delta plenty of times, but your wording a few comments ago made it sound like he did that for her instead of for himself.

@Meanlucario  
How did this come to the point that I am defending Jet? xD
 
Yea, his decision to keep Delta around was very selfish and wrong (getting someone durnk just to get them pregnant is wrong by all the means), but you can kinda see that all he wanted is for Delta to have a “good family life”. He could go about it in a much better way, but he ain’t completly evil tough.

@AWGear  
We haven’t seen much in the comics to imply one way or the other so far, so we’ll want to wait to make that call.
 
And honestly, Jet’s decision was more selfish than that. We shouldn’t ignore that what he did was for himself more than it was for Delta.

@Meanlucario  
But isn’t Delta the lonly, inteligent student? The one to focus on homework rather than partying?
 
I really like the characterization for Jet. I always felt like he wanted to keep her close because of how much he loved her, and wanted for her to live the dream she had. It makes him much more of a “tragic” character, as his intentions were pure, but lack of forsight lead to what happend.

@AWGear  
I think it would be better if Jet was like that, and helps show why he was so determine to keep her with him to the point of losing her.

@Meanlucario  
I’d rather have her being less of a “social butterfly” this time. Makeing her much more shy and timid would be a nice change and character development ^^

@Armagedonus  
It did in the original as well, it’s just that Delta also looked smug. I hope she has a smug reply in the next page.

@Sky Blazer  
Jet looks to smug here. It is like his face is saying “I will tap dat tonight”.

@Armagedonus  
I quite easily beg to differ on that.

@BigBuggyBastage

Eh, they looked better in original.

@Background Pony #AA96  
But thou must!

Don’t do it, Delta!

@redweasel  

 

 
They’re magical.

must you insist on all this waffling!

This looks interesting. It seems like in this “re-booted” version of the comic, Jet is visibly hitting on Delta from the beguin, while in the original it looked more like “let’s be friends” kind of scenario.
 
Also, Delta looks much more shy in this one, which is super adorable ^^
 
I’m really interested in what affect will it have on the story.
