[1065] Shippers Ruin Everything
└ posted on Thursday, 7 March 2019, by Novil
- Zoey: Hey, Julia, I’ve heard you’re a real sports ace. Would you like me to show you how to play tennis? I have rackets and everything…
- Julia: Sure, that sounds like a lot of–
- Gilligan: Oh my dear little heart, what am I allowed to see here?! The first shy approach!? The tender bud of a love soon in full bloom!?
- Gilligan: This is going to be soooo Yuri!
- Julia: To Rockland Street, please!
- Driver: This is not an Uber, Ma’am.

Okay, Zoey needs to tear Gilligan away from her with a figurative crowbar. He is not just an annoyance, he is, with a reasonable probability, a danger to Zoey.
THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS!!
Who or what is “yuri”? Do I even want to know?
Gilligan. Dude. Stick to shipping fictional characters.
“But I’m a fictional character! And so are Zoey and Julia.”
That’s not what I… oh, never mind.
“Another ship sunk by Captain Gilligan. Your Kaiser is proud of you, son!!!”

This is a reference to his mind going blank (emptyness of space) and the stars sparkling in the resulting void, visible in his eyes. His movements – flying into the frame, shaking without a fixpoint, hovering next to Zoey – are reminiscent of those seen in outer space weightlessness.
Hence, “Yuri”.
Once a year, fans gather to celebrate “Yuri’s night”. A magnificent spectacle and a pleasure to join. Coming soon to a place near you!
I had higher hopes for this. Gilligan, Urajerk!

This man, known only as Yuri, has been responsible for shutting down entire Allied covert network in Soviet Union before 3rd world war in (Red Alert II)

But well done Zoey, you dared to approach her and Julia seems worth your efforts. And Gilligan should know one thing: it is more important to choose enemies than friends, and I do NOT want to have Zoey as my enemy.
@ Breja:
Yuri is the female equivalent to Yaoi, which is basically anime shorthand for either type of homosexual relationship. Used to be for specifically explicit relationships, but I think that’s been walked back a bit.
Yuri = Girl Love = Lesbian relationship = gender opposite of Yaoi
Some people, like this resident shipper, are really REALLY (to a scary level) into that.

Wut.
That took a turn towards creepy really really fast.
Creep levels over 9000
GOD DAMN IT GILLIGAN.
Interested to see Larisa’s reaction to Gilligan scuttling the ship – I am sure her succubus tendencies are more than somewhat annoyed.
Damn noob shipper.
Shippers should act more like voyeurs, unseen, hidden, watching every move. Then commenting about it anonymously on the internet.
If you want to get involved, you have to be subtle about it. Basically limiting yourself to ‘wingman’ at most.
@ Anthony:
I think we should have known from the outset that someone named “Gilligan” could be easily trusted to cause a ship to wreck.
Yaoi and Yuri are terms for gay and lesbian relationships between fictional characters respectively @ Breja:
That went Titanic very fast. I Wonder if there was someone on that faithful night named Yuri?
Julia looks pretty darn cute here.
In other news, I’m getting ads for yuri comics on this page. lol
Just when it was beginning to look like smooth sailing!
Gilligan. This. Is. Not. A. Television. Where. You. Can. Just. Gush. About. Their. Interaction. At.
From Zoey’s look, Gilligan’s days are numbered. And it is a very LOW number.
As I said in my comment in the previous trip, can’t larissa sort Gilligan out leaving zoey and Julia in peace?

@ Breja:
Yuri is a Japanese jargon term for content and a genre involving lesbian relationships in light novels, manga, anime, video games and related Japanese media.
Huh. It’s usually not common for shipper to sink their own ship. Also, has he not heard of binoculars?
Shipper… and stalker!
…welp.
Will we see that shipper fall into Oblivion?
And this is where Gilligan gets hit with a giant mallet that appears out of nowhere.

This! Damn noob, what the hell!
Can I have an S&W avatar too, so I can restrain the noob before he sinks his own ship?
Geez, desperate much Gilligan? they could have had some quality bonding, but you had to go and ruin probably any chances of them hanging out with your inability to enjoy things quietly. I think he needs some professional help.
I don’t know who this “shipper” is, but he needs a nice, friendly pat on the back.
With a shovel.
The business end. 🙂
Geez. I hate characters who act stupidly and ruin everything -_-
Shippers are the worst lol. From my experience at AX 2018 last year those Voltron shippers were the worst lol (Keith X Shiro)They would start the photoshoots making out just to get everyone cheering for the ship. Had to put my camera down so many times to not look awkward taking photos lol
Smoooooooth…
This is EXACTLY what shippers do.
They RUIN everything!
I’ve been very much in doubt about where this comic is going lately.
This is a really strong comeback @Novil. Hats off
Why don’t we just aggressively ship Gilligan with someone? That’ll make him back off…
@ MaronaPossessed:
Funny idea, but if we have to become shippers to beat a shipper we still wouldn’t get rid of them… (if you stare long enough into the abyss…)
@ Breja:
It’s like yaoi, but different.

My suggestion would be for Zoey to coldly tell him “leave”, “go away” and “stay away” if he approaches her or in any way interacts with her, directly or indirectly. If someone asks why, tell them something like “He has been stalking me. He has fantasized about me having sex, not even with him, but with someone else. I know that because he did so loudly, while I was talking to said someone else. He has even scared other people away from me”. If he keeps stalking her, threaten with and subsequently involve the police.
Spare no thought of what consequences this will have for him. If say his parents end up hearing about his creepy behavior, or his reputation gets completely shoot, that’s his problem, not hers. There is however the necessity for Zoey to consider her own safety in all this. If he starts to get aggressive, she needs to consider the fact that she may get attacked.
Regardless, the sooner she can pry him away from her, the better.
@ Mxax Ai:
Oh, well done, sir!
I like that in the German version, in panel 1, “sports ace” is translated as “sport-ass.”
@ Breja:
Yuri is a Japanese term. While directly translating to ‘Lily’ it is used to label romantic or sexual interactions between two females (mostly in manga and anime). Depending on where in Japan you are it could be divided into ‘Yuri’ for adult, sexual relationships and shoujo-ai (girls love) for romantic relationships without the sexual part. There are actually a lot of well-written stories out there addressing the difficulties and troubles same-sex couples often face (as well as some entirely dumb or shallow ones, too, of course).
…and this guy here needs to take a chill pill and stop treating Zoey like something for his personal entertainment >:-(
We clearly need three things to happen right now. Larisa, a flamethrower, and an alibi.
You know Zoey, murdering Gilligan at this point is certainly an option. It’s easy enough, Tie his hands and feet, tape his mouth shut and lock him in a locker for a few days.
