WCDT Strips 3636 to 3640 (18th to 22nd December 2017)

Bollthorn:
Tilly did grind on me at first, but the emotional payoff in this last issue has made up for that.

Also people complaining about Hanners hugging someone but not about shoving Beatrice? Its still physical contact.

And as it was previously stated, people tend not to think logically when overcome with emotion. Especially after something as devastating and heavy as that.

So just give poor lil' Tilly a chance, eh? If Hanners finds them huggable, who are you to complain? :P

... Remember the poll on Tilly didn't come down nearly as negative as the postings seemed to.

That's certainly not how *I* read it...

Absimilliard:
The poll is missing the option "Tilly goes back to their home planet and is never seen again".
I'm delighted that Hanners ended the year with two major breakthroughs (confronting her mother and chosing to hug someone), but I wish the companion would've been an established character, not a new one I hope I'll never see again.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 22 Dec 2017, 01:19 ---The thing that I got from this strip is that Tilly is obviously a lot younger than I thought. 'Straight out of school' means probably 21 or 22 to me; younger than any of the human main cast (except for Sam) who are mostly in their late 20s and even approaching the 'big 3-0'. I honestly thought that she was closer to the others' age and this was a 'big break' to get out of the lower echelons of ECI. I'm wondering if Jeph is planning to play on that with Tilly being the 'baby' of the cast whom the others feel obliged to act as protectors/mentors.

FWIW, Hannelore's close to her in age - she was 22 as of strip 1069 (March 2004 per AprilArcus's timeline), I'd guess it's circa 2006 in-strip now, making her ~24 now.

--- Quote from: Tova on 22 Dec 2017, 01:07 ---SO if you hated Tilly because they hurt Hanners, and now not only has Tilly expressed remorse for doing so, but Hanners has also clearly forgiven them, my question to you is - can you do the same?

--- End quote ---

No. Tilly still doesn't feel like a person. They are a collection of aggravating traits designed to move the Hanners story on. Giving them the armour of being non-binary, a trait that has not  moved any plot on by one iota, feels manipulative.

Terrible character, unengaging plot.
