Open Trade - Pg 167
🕑 Added 2023-08-23 15:35:50 +0000 UTCTime to learn a little more about Stephanie's mental state. What does she want? Also why is Victory here?
Have you been in Stephanie's shoes before?
(also, yes we can see her feet for once)

I was hoping that as we hit this batch of pages and Victory showing up would mark a notable shift in the story. Especially as we start making time jumps.

Thanks. I like having these moments in there. Want people to connect with her.

It's definitely unfolding a lot of character development avenues for Stephanie and given the amount of time from this page to and the first one, it's quite a lot Stephanie had to adjust to since the first page. But now she has the chance to get some agency over how long and what trades she'll keep long term. Plus, I like how there's some insight here about how she felt growing up and it's revealing a hidden egg buried in her for so long. I'd say it's like more like a hero's (or heroine's) journey kind of turning point kind of moment here.

I'm loving this conversation about what's unfolding. This is the true strength of a webcomic. Not just to disseminate a person's art but to truly engage in the conversation it invokes.
Roseleaf
She'll get more and more times to explore it.

And she met a girl that is down this version of her. Might hang on to it for a bit as well.

She hasn’t had enough time, it’s been two weeks in universe! She needs at least a month or two to even fully wrap her head around her new gender, ethnicity, her new body, sexuality…. It’s a massive change.

It’s been talked about generally, but it’s nice to see Steph acknowledge her gender identity issues ❤️

Darned right

They may be idiots, but they’re lovable idiots. And that makes all the difference.

It is Victoria, She just likes being called Victory.
