A little while ago I noticed how Tom uses pupil/iris size, with neutral/happy faces having bigass bambi eyes and shocked/angry faces getting little dots, and now I can't stop noticing it in every strip. It's pretty cool though.

She's not going to attack him, this isn't one of the animes or w/e

Dude's equal to Kat at wierd superscience poo poo, implied to be developing maaaagic powers like Annie, goes on crazy adventures exploring the Court's crazy technological bullshit and goals at the same time the girls are doing the same about the Forest end of things and the court's origins, is good at and enjoys loving with them. Getting his face lit on fire would interfere with his growing a goatee.

I like Annie's Complete rear end in a top hat side. Well, not like, but find it intriguing. It's interesting to see how a summer living in a forest with a trickster god and his deranged devotee has made her less shy/reserved and more social, but also made her more capricious and manipulative.

E: Also, I can't imagine this won't have future fallout with Zimmy over Annie's comment. Looking forward to seeing that one!

Note that this whole revenge thing has been in the works since before Annie fled to the forest. I had wondered about her angry face after she awkwardly talked to Jack a couple of chapters ago; now it makes a little more sense.

This is the thing that struck me most about Annie's reaction. In the past, she's been the first one to stand up for Zimmy, and she's been unnaturally compassionate when strange or unknown powers are at work. Is her current attitude displaying her real feelings towards the girl everyone else thinks is creepy, or is she just so flustered by Jack that she's trying to attack his decisions. I'd lean towards the latter, but it'll be interesting either way.

I would guess it's that Annie is pissed off and put her foot in her mouth in her quest to throw him off-balance any way she can at this point. But yeah, interesting either way.

Well, let's look at it like this. At some point in Annie's ancestry, some guy saw a woman made of fire and said "Hey, I'm gonna stick my dick in that". Compared to that, having one of your ancestors decide to bone some sentient water is downright sane and normal.

Coyote's remark about that was one of the funniest things in the whole story so far. Coyote is the poo poo.

A female water elemental thought it would be fun to flow through some pipes and just so happened to come out into a shower where a hapless man was enjoying a good wank.

I have a feeling Carver is going to do an irrational bitch-move and brake the bug device Jack made to get back at him, which will (unknowingly to her) reveal here location, along with her friends.

Just because she sticks up for Zimmy doesn't mean she likes her. It just means she's empathetic and trying to do the right thing.

That's my point, though. Normally, she is nothing but diplomatic. Now that she's out of her comfort zone, are we starting to see the "real Annie"?

She wasn't super nice to Mort that one time either. People get mad and say lovely things sometimes. I don't think it's fair to say that's the "real" them; everyone's been a dick at some point.

The real Annie takes from her dad when calm, and from her mum when pushed. At least from what I've gathered.

That was Annie before spending a couple months with a god in the woods.

New Annie tries silly stunts to make up with a friend, is skipping detention all the time and cutting curfew to play love games with a boy.

I think it's safe to say New Annie isn't going about things the way she did before, and she's started mixing some of her mum's side in with her dad's side, though we haven't seen her really angry yet so I'm curious to see if some of her dad's side has gotten mixed with her mum's side.

Just want to alert the thread that September 12th-18th has been declared Gunnerkrigg Week on tumblr. E.K. Weaver of TJ and Amal is participating, as are a whole ton of other people. I realise this thread is not tumblr, but I think it would be pretty neat to take it as a cue for some doodling. My personal challenge to myself is going to be to draw something other than Annie and Coyote.

Y'all should also take the opportunity this week to talk GC up to friends who haven't already heard of it and/or donate or buy some GC merch.

Like that's not an official tumblr thing but why not turn it into a Gunnerkrigg appreciation week?
