I don't like that lesson, because she didn't meet her older self, she just saw her older self.

Fortunately, "saw" is the word Kat used.

I kinda keep worrying that Kat is going to do the thing where she keeps talking about Annie and Paz gets frustrated but this page looks like that won't be the direction where this is going.
I like the lesson Kat took from the Norns - "I met older me who had their stuff together and though 'I wanna be like that!'" Imagine being able to do that IRL.

It'd be awful, because I'd be incredibly jealous and also deeply resentful of how condescending I'd be about having taken care of my poo poo and am now rubbing my nose in it.

Same way I despise all my previous versions of myself for being for idiotic and annoying. Watching kid me in old home movies is loving unbearable.

Personally if I saw now or later me when I was much younger it would have helped massively, can't deny that I'm Trans when the evidence is right in front of me.

I like the part where they sexualized an underage girl to prove a point.

I know it hurts to accept the fact that Kat is basically just PG Kimiko Ross but the truth will set you free of both bad and ploddingly mediocre webcomics.

You've been complaining about this comic since about 2014, Kat specifically (I checked your post history in this thread). Maybe we shouldn't take advice on setting oneself free from someone who's been attached to something they don't enjoy for 6 years.

Seems weird for someone with a Sleepless Domain avatar to claim that all wlw in comics are for sex appeal.

Also, Kat's plots are not about her Big Science Brain. Kat's storylines are about her place in the robots' cosmic origin story and her position as a potential deity, and how this affects her relationships. Now I haven't read Dresden Codak in a very very long time but I don't remember the girl in that being anything more than a "hey, this girl likes science!" sort of thing.

Whatever character trait overlap there is between Kat and Kimiko, none of the reasons Dresden Kodack is bad are in that overlap.

Yeah, this is ringing pretty hollow. Paz ganged up on Annie, threw a fit, and told her she didn't deserve to be Kat's friend. That was lovely. It feels really weird to have Kat saying it's no big deal since the conflict was between Paz and Annie.

I hope Paz apologizes to Annie because the gist of what Kat is saying here us true, but this is not a good way to resolve things.

The way annie explained it was, quote, "Paz came to us a little while ago. She's under the impression that we're making things difficult for you". But it sounds like she brought up literally ganging up on her later on, so did she also tell her about :

Paz outright blamed her for all this (twice!)

Or that Paz outright said NOT to talk to Kat about this or that Annie doesnt deserve to be her friends
https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2252
Or that the only reason Paz left at all is because Zimmy & Gamma butted into it

"I hope you don't think I was trying to come between you two...." indeed

Annie probably doesn't want Kat to worry about the conflict between her and Paz. And Kat probably doesn't want to bring herself to see the girl she loves in such a bad light, even if it's true. I reckon there's a bit of a motivated telephone-game going on between these summaries of the events. It's gonna be on Paz herself to realise how lovely she was.

Also, Annie is still confident she could snap Paz like a twig, and she automatically outnumbers anyone. So she probably doesn't see any need to play up Paz's attempt to be threatening.

Annie knows Judo and can turn herself into tower of flames that scared off a forest golem like 4x her size, I don't think she will ever feel physically threatened by many of the people in her life.

You can socially bully people who could beat the poo poo out of you.

The real issue is that Paz was absolutely trying to get between Annie and Kat. The fact that she is heavily implying to Kat the she would never do such a thing is no bueno.

Studies show that declaring everything to be fine or okay is the leading cause of poo poo Popping Off, bosses transforming into their true form, and many other unfortunately timed disasters. If you or a loved one are secondary characters close to a protagonist, call the Genre Awareness Hotline today, and get educated. The knowledge you gain could very well save a life.
