The friendzone, that magical concept created by Ross Geller of Friends where if you put nice in, sex is supposed to fall out .. but when it doesn’t, why that woman did you wrong!
It’s a terrible term. Sure, sometimes friendship develops into more, but if you’re friends BECAUSE you want more (and don’t tell her that or only stay friends with her because of that) then you’re a shitty human being.
Now, to be on topic for the comic .. Hopefully he tells her how he feels and she says “Really? But.. but.. You’re a PRINCE, and I”m a deer and.. really?!” sort of thing.
And as you say, Cole could be clueless and Ben could be a prisoner of his social standing. However for the sake of drama their relationship needs to be complicated. If you know what I mean… 😉
Didn’t know that the term originated on Friends (never watched it), but I always assumed it didn’t imply that the “friendzoner” was in the wrong. I use it as a way to refer to that situation when somebody confesses/is about to confess his or her feelings to somebody else, and the object of their affection replies with the standard “I love you like a brother!/I love you too, you’re my best friend!”
“It’s a terrible term. Sure, sometimes friendship develops into more, but if you’re friends BECAUSE you want more (and don’t tell her that or only stay friends with her because of that) then you’re a shitty human being.”
Nope. It is a useful and truth-capturing term that describes a very prevalent male condition, and you are a shitty human being for putting a “sign of evil” spin on it.
“Very prevalent male condition” .. You think if you put nice in, girlfriend should fall out?
Spin it around.. You’re female, you have a buddy you adore and think is a wonderful friend, but the entire time they were only friends with you because they wanted your tail. That kinda sucks.
If you come to me and say “I’m attracted to you, do you wanna go out?” and I say “Sorry, I don’t feel that way” .. why are you the wronged party? Sure, it sucks. Rejection sucks. However, I am not obligated to date you.. and to say I friendzoned you just shows you feel you’ve been somehow done wrong. When that didn’t happen.
Friendzone is a term born from a sense of entitlement where no entitlement exists.. and if that makes me shitty for no catering to the male want when I feel *I* am entitled to not date those I am not attracted to, I guess I’ll just have to live with that.
Since i understand you are currently losing money and workhours to entertain us, i decided to buy the first ebook. Just to show i appreciate your work. I could have downloaded free content by hand but didn’t.
You work for us, i pay you.
The payment was a bit of a hassle since it didn’t register my address and there was some confusion on where and how one must fill the forms.
Thanks! I really appreciate your support, Satan (LOL it sounds somehow appropriate that I’m giving thanks to Lucifer 😉 😉 )
Anyhow, also thanks for giving me feedback on your experience buying the digital copies of Endstone. I’m guessing this was at Drive thru Comics, right? In the future, after Endstone volume 1 is complete, I was thinking of handling digital purchases myself. This makes that decision easier.
Again, thank you so much for your support! I deeply appreciate it.
EDIT: And those pdfs from Drive Thru Comics do feature the original “Fat Cole.” I haven’t had the chance to revise those yet.
He is half way, now he has to complete the path to not stay in the friendzone forever.
Careful, son!! That be a treacherous path you’re treading!
Woah, Jorah Mormont has a new rival for his title of Lord of the Friendzone!

I’m cool with folks discussing just about anything they want in the comments, but personal attacks will not be tolerated.
This is a warning. If you do it again you are banned.
Furthermore, this comment page is closed.
Aww man ! Friendzoned ! You can see the disappointment on his face.
If memory serves, all it takes is some stoner withdrawals for ol’ Ben to be out of the friendzone for a bit…

Is “fat-cole” retconned in the PDFs ?
Beware, those are watermarked at your real name.
And again, thanks for all the hard work Tony !
