Hey now, there's nothing wrong with a ham and pineapple pizza! Its tasty!
Is it cold in here?:
When I think "manipulative" I'm thinking of the suicide threat.

When? Who?
Ah! I saw that as so OTT that it didn't register.
Hmmmh - TBH, I'm not sure what to think now. On the one hand: Yeah, that's major-league fucked up. That's the point where I'd definitely involve authorities, and make sure they have my exhaustive statement on record, including my express wish that Tilly please neverever contact me again in this life or any other.
Otoh, I can't really picture Jeph as casually going over something like that like it's no big deal - so ... it has to be OTT, right?

Tilly, here. Whether you actually take it as a suicide threat or not, it's easy to see where it comes off as manipulative, especially given their willingness to call the cops on themself earlier.
Re: Tilly telling Marten they're nonbinary to gain favor with him: I didn't see anywhere in the theory that said they were faking it, just that's why they hadn't brought it up with Hanners or Winslow or Dora but it was one of the first things out of their mouth with Marten. I still don't buy the theory - mostly because why should Tilly care that much about gaining favor with Marten?

The original story, like where Jar Jar was supposed to be Sith Lord?
It's an interesting theory and here's a video about it if anyone is curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yy3q9f84EA
As for Tilly... I see how they might be Jeph's Jar Jar in a way, but I don't think Jeph writes with the kind of grand themes and sweeping circular storylines that George Lucas does - in fact, I think a lot of the charm in Jeph's best writing comes from the fact that he doesn't plan out a lot in advance, he just lets his characters loose and looks for how they would naturally react to things.
Addendum: While a lack of story planning has given us some nice surprises, I think that's also why QC has been in Tilly purgatory for a month
