and now we know why there’s a body difference between now and her first appearance. I still think her glasses have a glamour that makes her seem plainer.
It makes me realize an unintended side effect of the entire glamour system the kids have to follow to live healthy lives. Its meant to keep them safe and functional in regular society but some will develop mental issues regarding their own bodies and many are liable to make negative associations with their actual forms vs their glamoured “acceptable” forms.
Especially in circumstances like hers where she will already be assaulted by the barrage of body image issues which already exist, especially for para teens to succubi or Goddesses of love.
And, this week gives us two mini-cliffhangers for the price of one: what is going to happen when she chases the ghost, and what did happen in the past three weeks to change her self-image/comfort level/caution?
Not impossible, though. Kath’s constituents were all conceived before the World Grid was activated and it became difficult/impossible for gods and goddesses to visit Earth. It’s not impossible that Lily, or one of Kath’s other Ethetian parents might have been a child (or more distant descendant) of Aphrodite.
I agree, though, that the odds are probably very much against it.
Kath’s early-Wapsi social withdrawal didn’t have much if anything to do with her body image… it was due to a horrendous case of PTSD. Bring splattered with the blood and brains of everyone else on your team isn’t the sort of experience you get over quickly.
If she finds that the Stone Tape theory is wrong, and that there is an unquiet spirit haunting the mansion that needs release from its torment, Mindy and Barbara might very well put on black robes, chant “Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem” and hit themselves on their foreheads with planks. They’re that sort of Python fans, methinks.
I know very few if any geeks/nerds who ARE NOT python fans. it’s all part of the geek/nerd mind set. Python humor forces you to think about every day, important, historical and societal issues in a really very silly way. Who but a true geek/nerd would love that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AxiATxLofk

Kinda like real kids in real life, just… cranked up to eleven
Her typical posture also hides her chest volume quite a bit.
Oh, my! That’s a pretty unhealthy thing to do. Remember what happened to Atsali?
physically but especially mentally. Not being comfortable with your own skin or outright rejecting it causes all sorts of issues down the line.
clearly you have never been to singapore. lol

Second question answer: shoulder ride.
Meeting the gang and being dragged into the chaos they participate on a regular basis.
Shawna, Scarlett, and Castela all with their positive attitudes to how they look🤷
Poor kid. Weird thought: I wonder if she’s related to early-Wapsi-Square Kath? There are … similarities.
I think Kath’s family tree is unusual enough without adding in some relation to Aphrodite in there as well.

That’s classic irony for you; most girls are trying to SHOW that they have boobs.
Oh no, honey. Take it from a transman, you’ll fuck your chest up like that. Your rib cage can’t handle that.
Mindy’s a Python fan? Now I love her even more.
Oh, definitely a Python fan!

At least she’s aware that this is not a good idea . . .

Dang it. Now I have to go back into the archives and try and figure out when she stopped binding.
Mindy may have suddenly blossomed in a single moment the way Astali did years ago, both our time and their time.

It became clear to me in an instant that the producers of Fringe were all just this kind of geek when I watch the black umbrella episode.
Okay, Mindy seems to acknowledge that what she is doing is hella-stupid, so hopefully she is being cautious
Only noticed the poster decor just now. If she goes on like she’s going on, she’ll never with the All-England Summarize Proust contest.
