YMMV / Cassiopeia Quinn

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Feti's actions in "Past the Edge". Did she injure Vrax in the hopes of instigating a duel, or was she just trying to salvage what honor she could in the aftermath?
• Fan Nickname: Fans have been known to give "Buckethead" as an alternative to Kettering's in-universe nickname "Kettlehead."
• Foe Yay Shipping: Frequently, between Cassiopeia and Madison Vrax. It's even acknowledged In-Universe — the crime boss Katya Kreuz is a Shipper on Deck, and later on Wrenn mentions "tabloid rumours" about the pair.
• Fridge Brilliance: Everyone's incredulous that Cassie pays taxes on the ice cream parlor she owns in the android colony, but even if it wasn't legal, that wouldn't be a problem; the American IRS actually doesn't care if you come by illegal income as long as it's declared, since their job is collecting revenue and not prosecuting crime. So if you, say, robbed a bank, you can pay taxes on the income but don't have to report that you got it via robbery. You can even write off masks and guns for the robbery as a business expense.
  • There's also the fact that a business like an ice cream parlor is a good old-fashioned money laundering scheme. The creators tweeted this scene from Breaking Bad shortly after the comic was posted.
• Fridge Horror: In The Seat of Your Pants, Isidor Farring's paranoia about the vanaa and how they could kill people with their shapeshifting. Later on, we learn that he used to be a mercenary whose group was betrayed and wiped out by Old Salt, a cruel and ruthless vanaa. It's entirely possible that Isidor's constant warnings of vanaa shapeshifting come from witnessing Old Salt use those tactics to murder his old friends and comrades — pretty awful, considering one such warning is of vanaa forcing their mass into someone and expanding.
• Harsher in Hindsight: When Lord Admiral Toyn mentions in passing that Lieutenant Russ would be a good addition to the "Covert Operations Group" due to his work attempting to dig up dirt on Vrax for the commanders, you would assume he's referring to some sort of spec-ops unit due to Russ' unquestioning loyalty to the Regency...But it turns out it's much worse than that: the efforts to get rid of Vrax aren't petty organisational power-struggles but part of a full-blown Government Conspiracy that Toyn is at the head of, with the "Covert Operations" troops being his private army of mercenaries.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Way back in 2016, one of the commenters on this comic speculated "What if the career fails and she [Maddie] has to team up with Cassie to overthrow some evil government plot?!" This is, more or less, exactly what happened later on.
• Heartwarming Moments:
  • Cass' reunion with Beebot.
  • When Maddie takes the tournament sword, its greenish patina disappears.
    Maddie: [smiles] Huh. I didn't know it did that.
  • The story of how Cassie met Zeke, helping him save the robots from his old job and giving them a new life rather than letting them be scrapped. They fell for each other almost immediately.
