- Zoey: This is like a nightmare!
- Larisa: I feel sorry for you, Zoey. You really don’t deserve this.
- Larisa: I was rather thinking of a curse where every narcissistic thought of your own superiority makes you pee your pants.
- Zoey: That’d be even worse!
- Larisa: And way funnier!

And the dangerous stalker is now in proper hands. There’s a chance he will be placed in a school for juvenile criminals. This would not be healthy for him, but his stalking behavior is not healthy for his victim, so doing that may still be a necessary option.
Well yeah… not to mention he even got her favorite girl wrong…
Yep, that’s Gilligan dealt with in a proper way, but the harm is done. However, Zoey has an interesting sense of self-knowledge in the last frame. She does not deny that she has narcissistic thoughts of superiority.
@ Marteri:
Maybe this could lead to character development! Zoey might finally find love if she grows!
Oliver I know the emails may have put you off, but come on man can you not just consider giving zoey a girlfriend? This Gilligan guy is not the only one who wants this to happen! Lots of the fans do.
This arc has been a bit heavy. Hopefully it can end nicely with zoey at least finding SOMEONE. She’s only a kid she deserves a bit of happiness among this.
Hey novil, has the guy who sent you all those emails sent you anymore since this arc started 😂
What kind of ‘punishment fits the crime’ will the court dish out to Gilligan? Eager fans want to know.

Let’s hope so! I think the biggest threat to Zoey’s happiness is shippers pestering Novil. 🙂
I really don’t think Zoey should be in a relationship at this point. She’s imo the most realistic character in the comic and I feel like if she got into a relationship it would be more like some sort of fairytale love story and not really fit. But that’s just me and it’s fine if you disagree, I just wanted to say what I thought.
Also I hope that wherever he gets sent they ban Gilligan from anime so that he suffers more for what he did.
If there was such a curse then she’d be carrying around a 100 litre rucksack full of nappies and bottles of water to both replenish and collect the amount of bodily liquids she’d lose over the course of a single school day
I personally think Zoey’s current treatment is totally justified after her last glorified pity party
Thank you for ending this nightmare of an arc.
@ John:
Yeah, Zoey is not a character it’s easy to feel sorry for. I certainly didn’t manage it during this arc.
Well, now that she’s out, maybe she’ll start catching the attention of other closeted lesbians.
Aww, no sporty, tall girls with dark hair taking up the challenge?
I’d be careful when I hear Zoey talk about cursing you
she knows a guy…
Huh, that’s interesting – most narcissistic people don’t realize how narcissistic they are.
@ AnotherBear:
Exposure to fujoshi.
It’s probably not healty to pee that often.
He doesn’t look singed. Has Larisa been … civilised?
There may be hope for Zoey yet.
Also, I’m surprised Gilligan didn’t wear a Zoelia ftw shirt.

Q: Is it *really* stalking when the stalkee does not initially report the incidents and, instead, agrees to work together with the stalker towards a common goal – only calling the police after said attempt to work together fails miserably and then ends with a moment of embarrassment that is record breaking?
Also, given the context, one might conclude that the police were called to arrest the boy for grabbing hold of the P.A. system to give a very foolish and embarrassing announcement (instead of for stalking). And then there’s the fact that the stalker is a middle-schooler.
Is it normal to arrest a middle-schooler for something like this? Am I the weird one for feeling that this is not normal? Or am I just that old and out of touch with current year?
Larisa, WTF ? O_O

Oh, probably.
Give him the chair…
@ Xpacetrue:
Short answer: Yes, it’s still stalking. Maybe Zoe could have handled things a little better, but that doesn’t make him any less of a creep.
And yes, getting law enforcement involved with school discipline has become depressingly common. “School Resource Officers”are supposedly there to help protect students, but often end up being used as the modern version of sending a kid to the principle’s office or giving him detention. School cops often aren’t trained to deal with kids, and when you’re a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail. Throw in the fact that teachers, administrators and cops are all often ignorant of the law, and you have to ask who’s going to protect the kids from the cops.

Short answer, yes!
Longer answer:
1) Wether or not the stalkee reports the incidents is irrelevant. Not reporting may make things harder in a court, but it doesn’t make stalking less stalking, no more than not reporting a theft makes the theft less of a theft.
2) She did not agree to work towards a common goal. She went along with his suggestion to socialize with Julia, but there’s nothing pointing towards the idea that she wanted to involve him. It went badly because he butted in. The fact that she went along with his idea is not in any way an invitation for him to participate, him fantasizing out loud about Zoey having sex is no more appropriate than if anyone else had done it.
3) He not only outed her to the whole school, he did so after Zoey made it clear that she did not want to have anything to do with him. Not respecting a “stay away” is a red flag.
There’s a good chance that authorities asked Zoey what was going on. Further, at least Michelle, Larissa and Julia has also witnessed his behavior towards Zoey.
Involving the police is definitely the right choice in this case. What Gilligan is doing is not mischief, it’s criminal activity. If someone behaved in a similar way towards my little sister, I would fear for her safety. That he is a middle scholar doesn’t change the fact that what he did is very serious.
@ Marteri:
She probably questions the narcissistic part ( how can it be narcissism if it’s true?) But didn’t want to bother splitting hairs in this instance.
I really wanted the best for her…
@ Marteri:
Do you think zoey could ever find happiness if people stop pestering novil? Maybe later this year?

I’ll call it an open question… I am not a mind-reader and I certainly will not write something here that makes Novil introduce a new villain named Marteri to stalk Zoey… 😀

I don’t think narcissism makes any kind of claim to truth. It just means you love yourself (a good deal more than most people do and is probably healthy for you). Your opinion of yourself may or may not be justified (Narcissus of Greek mythology was very beautiful, loved beauty (and was shallow enough to ignore his admirers) and eventually fell in love with his mirror image).
Of course you could argue (on the other hand) that thoughts of one’s own superiority aren’t necessarily narcissistic – but frankly, in Zoey’s case I have no doubt that they are.

I don’t know. If narcissism is a form of arrogance, I see it more as a substitute/an illusion of confidence.
I mean there’s room to exhibit both to be sure, but how often does a person who feels really comfortable about themselves feel the need to bully others (i.e. calling someone a lice ridden dweeb or putting down someone in poverty because they can’t afford the best clothes that money can buy)?
Especially because I feel true confidence means not feeling like you have to prove anything.
@ Antiyonder:
Heh, I suppose that means that Zoey could think about Larisa’s “curse”, conclude that it would not really affect her because she merely projects narcissism and superiority due to personal insecurity and reacts by affirming the “even worse” consequences in her usual projection of narcissism. Intriguing thought. Now I’m wondering if that would her more or less of a mess.
Gilligan wrote:
And you did it! I bet the scare will make her straight…
Larisa continues to be the hero we need, but not the one we deserve.
Ye Thuza fills that role pretty well though.
I can just imagine the cop thinking. “What we’re NOT here for Larisa again. Damn, better mark THIS date down.”
This is… actually the most brilliantly helpful thing Larisa could have said. Complete break of the dark thought pattern Zoey was going to spend the next several days stuck in, and a vivid imagining of something she undeniably considers worse than her present circumstances… meaning today can no longer be “the worst day of her life”, at minimum it has to be the #2 entry. 😛
I guess zoey isn’t getting a girlfriend this arc. Hopefully we can see that happening in the not so distant future.
On an unrelated note I wonder what’s gonna happen to Gilligan. What exactly happens to a 13 year old stalker legally?
I can see your justignoring my emails (which is fine) so I guess I’ll post this here;
Hi Oliver
I can kinda guess zoey will not be getting a girlfriend anytime soon. That’s fine. As I stated in my emails I understand I was getting a little obsessive. I think I’ll probably take a break from Sandra and woo for a while. As you pointed out in this arc it may not be healthy for me.
I hope you consider giving zoey a girlfriend in the future. But no hard feelings if you don’t.
Thanks
PS I hope you enjoy your Japan trip
Spoken like a true succubus!
