I cannot help but like Cio's philosophy while vehemently disagreeing with the overall take on it. We do change by growing layers over ourselves. By becoming more complex and molding ourselves to something either comfortable to ourselves or acceptable by others around us. Sometimes layers are added by other people, sometimes by introspection. Sometimes they need to be cut down when they risk strangling the person at the heart of them and sometimes the layers are removed by the shock of change. But the act of growing the layers is the change she says doesn't exist. This little aside of her's is far too much fuel for my inner teenage philosopher.  Avshalom posted:also this sounds weird but i was genuinely surprised this comic was made by a dude because the female characters are fantastically written Abaddon seems (at least to me) to get that gender is part of a character's identity, both internal and external. How they internalize it and how the world reacts to it should depend upon the setting while being molded by it and themselves. A contemporary setting should carry familiar baggage, but a world where cosmic lottery can give your daughter the power to set fire to someone's hair with a whim is a strange world to also thumbtack our familiar bullshit onto. Good writers act on this, bad ones don't. Which is strange to me considering how fun it is to spend lazy hours thinking and building a universe.

I would really be cool with Zaid never becoming an important character. He sucks from what we've seen so far, and he would ruin this all girl, rat queens style posse we get to follow around.

LOL I just now realized that all the main protagonists are, in one way or other, female. I think that's a good thing...

I'm fine with that, so long as he grows as a character and stops being a poo poo.

I believe Abbadon has said that Zaid is becoming a character later and will be getting character growth.
