snufflebottoms:
I cannot wait for the Tilly arc to be over. Maybe now that the name thing is cleared up it will be for a while. Looks like Tilly will be joining the regular cast though, unfortunately.
mikmaxs:
I find it... Odd that Tilly didn't mention their pronouns until now. This is the fourth person they've introduced themself too, and they didn't have any problem repeatedly insisting that their name was being said wrong, so... It just seems odd that they didn't mention it until now, but bring it up here without any sort of comment or reason for the change in behavior.
(Also: What is Hannelore looking at in the bottom left panel? Tilly's speech bubble?)
brasca:
There is one other person who goes by the pronoun they. I theorized before that this could be Spookybot assuming a different form and this could be a clue.

speaking as a nonbinary person, it can be easier to correct new people on your name more than your pronouns. pronouns are gendered by nature, but names have more leeway, especially since nb folk tend to pick unisex names. and people who don't know you tend to easily accept being corrected on your name as "oh, I didn't know" whereas asking for different pronouns than they assumed turns it into a whole Thing.

I believe that in Spookybot's case, the "They" is plural. In Tilly's case, I'm pretty sure that they are using the singular form.
