HARRY SQUATTER/PALMER: So, are you a big HP fan?
SAM: Oh, yes. I never got into wizard rock, though. But I liked your band!
HERMIONE STRANGER/BAILEY: Did I eavesdrop that correctly? We made your new pal here a convert?
HARRY SQUATTER/PALMER: Yep.
HERMIONE STRANGER/BAILER: Well! Maybe we should actually play more often.
SAM: Do you not do a lot of gigs?
HARRY SQUATTER/PALMER: Nah, we mostly just post our stuff to the internet, but we haven’t written anything new in a while.
SAM: That’s too bad. I’d love to see you again.
HARRY SQUATTER/PALMER: Well, you know, I don’t have to be playing a show. We could just… see each other again.
@TsunamiJane,
Not just you–I had a brief moment of that too, and I’m also bi/pansexual. Then I was like, “Wait, do I KNOW that she’s lesbian or did I just assume that?” and then “Wait, even if she is, why can’t she like this guy?” and then “Wait, do I even know for sure that Potter is a guy?”
And then I just squeed some more, because this is a very, very cute scene.
On Sam’s sexuality, she fantasises about a hot elf (which I read as male) in an early strip. She’s described as gay by her ableist and/or ginger mocking friend, but I wouldn’t put bisexual erasure past her.
I just finished an archive binge after following a link from Deeply Problematic. I’ve loved all of it, particularly the Puppyverse and time travelling Founding Fathers. So glad Australia, for its disturbing increases in jingoism, doesn’t have a real equivalent.
Any chance Oliver’s Wood will adapt some of the canonical songs, like “A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love”?
That’s the nerdiest, smoothest I’m-into-you convo ever. <3
Love Sam's cute smile that travels all the way to her eyes!
Omigawd! *squee* This is SOOO adorable! <3 I hope they go on a date!
So much squee, so little time.
oh potter you rotter~
^________^
AWWWWW
I am going to explode from cute!
Loooooove it!
I have an embarrassment to admit: Until right now, I was like “Wait I thought Sam was a lesbian?”
Why it’s embarrassing: I’m bi.
*facepalm*
OOO OOO I’m SO interested in how gender and sexuality is being read in this strip! :3
The cute is almost causing me physical pain.

Just Some Trans Guy! That was entirely my thought process exactly. Thanks for letting me know I’m not the only one!
Well, at least we know this one’s into books

Hi, another newcomer from Deeply Problematic, I’ll be a regular follower!
Just love the look on Sam’s face at the end!
