I really do like Winloss and Nokk though. And since I detest Spurrier’s version of Aphra as some sort of cunning Thrawn-y chessmaster who’s always outsmarting everyone around her, I liked seeing her struggle with her plans then only barely get out alive and without the artifact. Like, there you go, that’s the human disaster I remember. Now give her actual character depth and consistency and we’ll be getting somewhere.

@aspiringwarriorlibrarian spurrier’s aphra feels like one of those really bad doctor who episodes that’s just obsessed with coming up with the most bizarre convoluted solution imaginable just to drive home how CLEVER the doctor is.

winloss and nokk were SO charming and it was really refreshing to read a doctor aphra story that just let itself be silly and fun and let her be the somewhat hopeless wreck who just BARELY makes it through that she really is.

i hope when this current arc wraps up that he switches gears to something more like that because that’s what i LIKE about doctor aphra. his fixation on emphasizing what a bad person she is and basically giving her some serious character regression sucks and i HOPE things get better soon 🤞 PLEASE
