Chapter 3

Hello everyone!

“As you wish…”

Thank you for some wonderful conversations over the last few pages! It’s been great seeing the positive feedback to Kaden’s reveal.

Have a great week!

Best wishes,

Savannah

I like Accel more and more each page=)

Kaden is reminding me of Subaru from Sakura Wars: So Long My Love. “My gender irrelevant. How I am perceived is meaningless. Subaru is Subaru. Nothing more, nothing less.” Kaden is Kaden. Nothing more, nothing less. Right? I still love Kaden just as much. :3

And just like that Kaden became a much more interesting character…
I’m really enjoying the dialogue between these two :)

That just makes Kaden even more of a badass breaking society rules and whatnot

Very interesting gender based twist. Used with meaning and tied to other relevant concepts ! I approve :).

  Excellent, I am happy to hear so. :)

I need to stop forgetting to check this site for a few days at a time, I always end up shocked at old news. XD

  I imagine this must be an odd scene to jump back in on! :P

Something about Lenna’s posture in that last panel tells me that she isn’t finished nettling Kaden about this.

  I agree, LA. Maybe she’ll take the compass next…

Is Lenna missing a bandage on her left elbow in the last panel?

There is such a thing as being too good at what one does in such matters. If affects the psyche, willy-nilly. Gender is NEVER irrelevant.

  I dispute that statement.
  Gender is utterly irrelevant to the agendered, and to a lesser extent to the asexual.
  You’d be amazed how much such things completely fail to matter when one doesn’t perpetually obsess over the old plug-and-socket game.

I can see Lenna accidently using a ‘she’ pronoun now and the others finding out that way. ‘Others’ being whoever’s in earshot at the time.

Between the curtain and shading, the first panel did a really good job at making Kaden look rather traditionally feminine at a quick glance then resolving into background elements + shading + character. (Curtain that could be long hair, shading on the shirt that could just hint at breasts on first glance.) If intentional, you did a great job at using the imagery to play with the new context through which we view the character (as even people trying to refrain from doing so can still find themselves unconsciously trying to pick out features we read as gendered). If unintentional, uh… happy accident?

Yes, I overanalyze things.

  Oh, cool… I hadn’t noticed that effect with the curtain before. But now that you’ve mentioned it, I can’t not see it. I love how that looks.
  
  Also, over-analyzing things is fun!

  Over analysing ? Over doing is the minimum, man ;-)

The way I see it gender roles are a social construct anyway…

Breaking society rules ? Well, among the group of half-elves resistance fighters, there also some females, even one in what seems to be a leading role (She’s blonde, but I forgot her name). That “rule breaking” seems to be quite common.

Curiously, now that I know Kaden is a woman, I still find her, you know, beautiful. In a “fighting lady” way. Sort of.

Ya know, I think I actually like Kaden more. I like cool woman characters, and she’s really cool. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy learning about shadows of other people’s pasts?
