BEST FRANDS

[eliyes]

And an excerpt from a logfile of chatting with kiffie yesterday:

kiffie: Also, Namor - Asshole = never meeting Betty or Jim.
eliyes: Betty would have carried on, her life a bit less rich and weird, but Jim
eliyes: Jim needs Namor
eliyes: as a rival and compatriot and friend
kiffie: Yes.
eliyes: as someone else who doesn't entirely understand the people around him in a way that merely being from another country doesn't cover
kiffie: Yep.
eliyes: and as someone to demonstrate things like the passion Namor has
kiffie: And, for his part, Namor functions pretty well without Jim, but he's happy when he's around that doofy firebot.
kiffie: Steve has lots of passion, but it's fairly one-direction and typically not to the visible extremes that Namor gets to. :V
kiffie: Namor will crush a steel door in his bare hands just because he's excited about bagels. :V

Then we got distracted by Namorita and cupcakes, but -- my point is, sometimes it's like life is an ongoing dialogue with the universe about the relationships between comic book characters.
