Why does anyone trust the Doctor though? If I saw a real person dressed the way the Doctor does I'd be super suspicious of them rather than trusting of them.

I'd say Rhodes Island is somewhat deficient in trustworthy-looking staff in general... but the obvious answer is "because the (rest of the) company brass vouches for him/her" plus they demonstrated their tactical chutzpah swiftly enough, which is what earned them the respect of newer rankers like Dobermann.

Am I the only one with a non-binary Doctor headcanon? They use they/them pronouns so it's an easy headcanon to have lol

That'd have more to do with the original language boasting the convenience of gender-neutral pronouns AFAIK, which obviously rather simplifies leaving the details to the players' imagination (without having to pay for more art)...

Finally joined the club. Free ticket bought me another copy of Hung. First orundum roll gave me Gitano and second was a 6 star... Aak x3

Nian wants our wallets! It's a conspiracy!

Clearly an old skool dragon, she wants all our shinies :v

...speaking of DORAGONS tho, I managed to randomly pull Ch'en yesterday. Full Lungmen cop squad achieved! ('w')v

Funniest part of Aak's bio is how he hit off with fellow medical practicioner of dubious ethics Warfarin. Mad scientists flock together lel

Most of the fanart I see on here actually seems to reflect that discomfort. It's rare for Texas to look happy around Lappland.

*parses*

...I think you need to take a second look.

I wonder just what is the truth with Nian?

Quick look at her bio (thanks, wikis) indicates she's another case of question-mark background DOKUHTAH probably doesn't have the clearance to know details about, loaded with vague but alarming if not momentous implications and connections.

...every now and then I start suspecting Kalt'sit factually uses Rhodes as a kind of containement facility for such examples of the world's creepier and more dangerous facets she can drag in somehow. >_>

Texas actually looks happy to see Lappland here? The world must be ending.

Tex's substantial discomfort with Lapp is a part of the canon fanartists routinely and willfully elect to ignore, so.

Actually if you want to look for symbolism in the title pages I suspect the more pertinent one is how the first machinery-themed ones had clock faces here and there, then you had a few with plant or sweets motif, and now the abstract machine ones are missing the clock faces (while retaining various partial circular structures like used to hold them before) and have plants and flowers growing on them...

Anyone have any thoughts on whether these constructs match the inner workings of mechanical clocks?

Trained watchmaker here; they don't. Ditto for electronic ones which share a few moving parts and the rest is an integrated circuit board.

It does make me wish we could have heard it... it seems she was bad at singing but the three reacted really well, was it just to her nakedness or did her singing actually improve?

Can't really see Kiwi and Korisu being so taken in merely by her performing in the nude, so presumably the latter. She was herself amazed by how different she sounded too after all.

Also lmao @ Kiwi dutifully protecting (what little is left of) the purity of Korisu's eyes.

Why, yes, it is fun to do (I'm not saying what) in a bath.

But that's the thing, she -isn't-. This is her normal style, and while it accidentally led to Ookuma thinking she was a boy, she wasn't. So in this case her "cross dressing intent" consists of wearing what she normally wears while also wearing an (apparently unnecessary) corset and not correcting a misconception. That's pretty ambiguous.

Pretty sure it's the addition of deliberate deception - however nonmalicious - that makes the difference here ya know.

You’re absolutely right. Given that she has been the most thoughtful and emotionally mature character in the manga (as compared to “Let’s not think about unpleasant things” Kaoru, “My marriage is a sham, and that’s . . .whatever” Reiichi, and “I have unwanted feelings for you, so I will steal your boyfriend” Risako), no, you can’t really call Uta “immature.”

I've long maintained the irony of the adult cast of this series being a trainwreck of a Dysfunction Junction versa the clueless teenagers who Get Shit Done and try to sort out their problems like sensible people is wholly intentional, and serves to accentuate just what level of utter mess the former are.

I was referring to them referring to Tei as a penguin, sorry if I didn’t make it clear.

That "them" would still be me... but memes, yo. For example this one appears alarmingly on point based on what we've seen of her so far:

They certainly try their best to convince you otherwise, mentally.

Well, so do about 40% of people over 30, so that proves nothing.

Maturity does not automatically follow from age, alas.

Can you really consider a 18 y/o as a kid ?

Ever talked to one, as someone older than that? :v

All the time.

18-year-olds—the ones who in the US can vote, and kill and die in the military, may not be fully grown up, but they are not “children.”
