I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Avatar talk aside, I just noticed the really fine sentence right next Jeanne's head in the "second" panel during their fight. This chapter also boasts the best eyebrows ever.

Whelp, just had to re-read this chapter. I read this one as it came out, and this might be the first time I've read it all at once. Definitely gave it more impact. It is so beautiful, and I mean that about both the gorgeous art (especially in the aetherium), and the story itself. I may or may not have teared up during the telling of Jeanne's story and subsequent pages. It was probably my allergies... And uh, the sun was in my eyes, yeah.

I guess that they'd see that instantly snice she doesn't have their eyes or other marks, also since she needs (needed) a blinker stone. Still, somehow I too can't shake the feeling that something bad is about to happen :tinfoil:

They'll probably start asking how she got that wound on here face. And then things will get really awkward.

The way he truly is.
Does Annie even remember that she has it? I had forgotten that it was from her encounter with Jeanne down in the ravine until one of those god damned 'oh hey, I missed dinner because of Gunnerkrigg archives', but when Coyote commented on it Annie seemed confused as to what he was talking about.

I think that was the only time it's been referenced since the injury itself and yeah, she didn't understand what he meant. And of course he moved right on to another subject rather than tell her "hey you got a big ether scar on your face. no no, YOUR left". Still, she might have noticed or figured it out off-screen at some point. It wouldn't be the first thing she didn't have the common decency to give us exposition about. That jerkbutt is still lording Jones over us.

Arg, I so hated that line, because it's such a tease. Annie clearly knows what's up with Jones now, but because it hasn't come up naturally in the narrative, we the audience don't know.

It's very good writing, but as a reader....damnit.

Eh, I disagree. The 'unreveal' is a trope that irks me a bit, especially in a case like this where it's clear Tea is yanking the reader's chain. I'm of the opinion at this point that Jones isn't anything--which is to say, we'll never learn what she actually is because the author doesn't actually have an answer.

(I feel the same way about Vaarsuvius, to get a bit tangential; unless and until its gender is revealed in the comic, a prospect I find unlikely, it has no gender.)

I recently read that part of the story, and she thought it was Coyote playing a trick on her. To be fair, he did appear to make it glow.

And Annie does not understand really what Jones is. Jones Ysengrin attempted to explain it. So it is probably something that is a bit complicated to explain. Or, in the very least, Annie needs to learn a few more things before she understands Jones' explanation.
Edit: Reread the relevant part and fixed what I misremembered

Though what would be a good bit of avatar text for it?
Oh no!

Or this one:

But I definitely lack a good bit of avatar text for this one. :(

That reminds me, I wonder if we'll specifically find out how Forest people "die" and become human(ish). Because if it's literally the way they described it way back when they were trying to get Annie to murder them, no wonder Ysengrim is losing it. You can only stomp so many fairies before you get loopy.

Um, of course, that's just what I heard. From a friend. Who has that problem.
