--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 14 May 2018, 23:17 ---One wrinkle is that 347 came from a time when Jeph was handling AnthroPCs completely differently from today and it may no longer be canon.

--- End quote ---

That's very true, and I did admit that other events suggest that Jeph was moving away from his initial stance on AI gender. But I think that the way he is developing AI characters and his approach to gender in general suggests to me that he would be moving towards a position more closely resembling gender essentialism rather than further from it. If Jeph treated gender as being something independent of the chassis even then, I cannot imagine he would do otherwise now, especially considering his marvelous handling of Claire and her relationship with her body.*

*I am thinking specifically of Claire and Marten's first night of sexual intimacy and Claire disrobing and saying "this is me". Jeph's decision to not reveal the status of her transition and subsequent refusal to do so is really powerful for me. It is a meaningful declaration that the particular shape of her body has nothing to do with her being a woman. I simply cannot believe he would do any different for Bubbles.

Dear Mr Word-of-God Creator Almighty Sir: this is no time for vacation or any other distractions! We are on the edge of a several year long plot, and we can't have any delays in postings because you are brushing a yak or sampling ham at some space station! Please stay focussed...

I'd have thought he'd have had enough training to take out a cereal killer by now...

fayelovesbubbles:
I think Bubbles' hair getting longer is part of her becoming more comfortable in herself. Like being more expressive and laughing and bonding with Faye. I think her hair is a good representation of that.

Think about this, can you imagine old Bubbles (when she first met Faye) with a ponytail? I can't.

mephron:
Maybe it’s Claire, who Marten called not knowing about the Code 3.  She stumbles a lot, but if Marten has to hold down the library with Tai away (with a “gotta go” as all they know, Claire has the kind of empathy to help.



The background change kind of points to Spooky, though.
