She didn't have a mean or malicious bone in her body, she was just excited. So I guess I don't understand that either.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but when Tilly arrived, they were supposed to be Hannelore's "personal assistant", and yet they thought it was okay to completely ignore Hannelore's wishes, requests, and even demands that she did not need one. In my opinion, for anyone - but especially a personal assistant - to ignore someone's boundaries like that, for no better reason than "I was instructed to do so," is just plain rude. I suspect that for a lot of readers, that made Tilly (not to mention Beatrice) instantly despicable. Sure, they were excited about a new job for a corporate overlord, but any decent person would have questioned those orders, even if only in their own mind. Once the boundaries were understood and (for the most part) respected, I didn't dislike Tilly nearly as much. I still found their overall personality grating, but at least I could tolerate them.

Eeep! I completely used the wrong pronouns. Sorry, everyone.
I get that Tilly definitely crossed some lines that weren't okay to cross. They should have respected Hannelore's wishes, I get that. But I don't see how they're anywhere near as awful as Sven.
People can be uncomfortable about me disliking Sven. I guess I'm a little mystified as to why anyone is bothered by me not liking him, he's such an irrelevant presence in the comic.

It's not the fact that you dislike him. You're entitled to your opinion. It's just that you keep bringing it up - or at least it seems that way. It gets old.
No, Tilly was never as bad as Sven was. But that's just it... was. He's trying to change. He's not whoring around like he used to. Fine, he hasn't made a lot of progress, but he's got a huge load of personal crap to try and turn around. It's going to take him a while. An aircraft carrier doesn't turn on a dime. Just give him some time. That's all I ask.
fayelovesbubbles:
I'm sorry. I didn't realize that saying you dislike someone more than once was a problem.
There was a time when I really disliked Faye. It sounds awful but her hospitalization and
getting sober and her eventual relationship with Bubbles has made her much more likable to me.
Jeph has said that he sometimes really does not like Faye. I wonder if his feelings toward her have changed at all. Unlike Sven, I think she HAS really grown as a person.
Is it cold in here?:
Thank you for going back and fixing the pronouns!
May offered to be Hannelore's bodyguard early on. Momo is friends with her and would make a respectful personal assistant. The dynamics of that would be interesting.
