08-12-10 Oooooh, boy.

Well, if I was suddenly a girl, I'd possibly be able to deal with it if I was that hot...

However, if Ace gets transformed back, he might be just a wee bit confused... I'm still holding out for the possibility that he can gender-swap as well as species-swap...

Let us go down the checklist!

1) They have had the obligatory pillow fight
2) They are doing the makeovers
3) At least Brook had started to run around in her panties

What is left?

Games and..... Gossip.

Who cares about the games, let the gossip begin. If nothing else it should give new insight into Ace's mindset.

my first post.....wooohooo...

My guess is that Ace is going to be very conflicted if he ever has an opportunity to switch back. At least initially he wanted to remain a boy, which shouldn’t be surprising, and even here he’s lamenting the fact that he should be spending more time trying to figure out how to reverse things, but he has begun to see the advantages of being female. And any relationships that develop while he’s female will make it even that much harder to decide what to do – if he ever has that chance.
What I’m waiting to see is what exactly is bringing on his response in the latest strip. Is it just attraction to himself? I kinda think not. That last panel just doesn’t seem very Ace-ish to me. I’m reminded of the Karen character in Penny and Aggie, who has a big personality change after a makeover in that strip. Not that I think Ace will ever be as evil as Karen, but he may well be seeing things from a very different perspective now.

Who knows, we might somehow end up with both male AND female Aces as separate characters down the line.

I find it hilarious that people are arguing "Girl ace might be girly due to the orb changing her to the core of her being" when Giz and Dave used the same reason to defend Nina and Brooke getting "friendly". That is saying that it's not a possibility (if not more than), just noting the similarity of the arguments.

Also, not sure how Ace is going to handle "time of the months" or if he would even have them. Would the cycle begin the moment he became a girl? Would it take a while for the body to acclimate to the change in chemical balances? Possibly when he allows himself to be more feminine (if he's been resistant all this time, it may have prevented the hormone cycle)... Ruh-roh!

cherry werewolf Ace
what if her Monthly Visit
is on the full moon?

[Border Prince]

Puppy and the reflection looks disturbingly like a combination of "Oh, I'm HOT!!! and love at first sight...

[zoom]

can we get a reaction from Ace's daddy on his son's transformation to his daughter, or can we assume he's readily accepted this already?

If I had to guess, I'd say that Ace's Paw (yeah, I went there) doesn't know yet.

Here's a twist. Ace gets changed back, but from now on instead a werewolf, he's a were-babe.

[Ravenhull]

Would definitely be a different twist on 'that time of month'.

This IS a fantasy reality created by Giz and Dave. They are the ultimate authority, even when they change their minds. So one argument is as valid as another. That's the fun of web comic fora.

And it IS "fora", not "forums". Atria, Stadia ... DATA for that matter.
It's also "indices", not "indexes".
Indices and Stadia are hatefully flagged as a misspelling, while indexes stadiums are A-okay. Grrrrrr. I hate the dumbing down of language.
Good God, dumbing is flagged as a misspell. At least dumming is as well.
I'm depressed now ....

So does Ace's reaction mean his/her assimilation into the Girl Collective is complete? :o

Just marking that the argument used to defend their original presentation was later used as a possibility of what might occur to some poor genderbent soul. I don't like it when an author's work is compromised too much from the original intent (that was just a small detail). Even should I despise the final result, I respect it to exist (otherwise I would rewrite the end to Blue Gender). I just don't like when that final result is due to what seems akin to the screaming of infants.



BABIES!

And you only have yourself to blame for working yourself up over something no one had even a chance to comment on.

[Geeno]

Just allowing my bitterness over "spell" checkers come out.

[zoom]

Do you think Melissa uses a spell checker?

[Ravenhull]

Something tells me that Mel is too arrogant to use one... despite despairingly needing too. ;)

Has anyone called the Three Laws of Gender Bending yet?
