Coyote is, basically, Dan Castalanetta's Robot Devil, if a bit more toned down. And now that I think about it, Karen Gilliam would make a stellar Parley.

I read Coyote in a jovial, slightly slithery voice prone to hysterical gigglefits like Scooby-Doo's. (Gigglefits, not voice.) It made his serious lines have a dramatic flair for me. I guess like Him without the falsetto. Has a fan voice play ever been attempted for Gunnerkrigg? That'd be a pretty interesting listen, what with the many sound effects for the forest.

As someone who chipped in to add over a million for Burlew, I would totally do the same if you did something similar, Tea-san. Assuming you found a Kickstarter alternative.

Coyote is an interesting one, but if you would like to hear what annie sounds like, take a look at this: http://youtu.be/w5bm6IBcKjI My super cool friend My2k is working on it. The audio is a pitch shifted clip from an interview with Kate Rusby, who I always imagined sounded like Surma and Annie. Annie less so, since she lived away from most people since she was born, but it's difficult to explain that her accent isn't just the generic "english" accent people think of. It's more of a Barnsley accent. Edit: Clearly, it's a younger Annie! Tea-san fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Mar 1, 2012 |

Regarding Anthony Carver's Deal, I don't think he blames Antimony very much, because when you get right down to it, Anthony killed Surma. I think everyone knew this, that falling in love with Surma could kill her. He could just as easily be avoiding Antimony not because he blamed her, but because she represents his own crime. Which only begs the question, why have a child in the first place? It suggests some big picture reason that Surma needed to procreate, especially since she was pretty young when she had a child. (The Donlans, Eglamore, they're in their mid 30s, right?). And part of that process involved Anthony, because in that weird fairy tale way, their child inherited the qualities of both. Was this a Court order? Some plan among Surma's group of friends? Some terrible mistake? No idea, but it might involve whatever Anthony's been doing so far away from everyone else.

Try again, crazy Internet theorist -- you're not even close. Why, your theory isn't even backed up by the existing lore. In what exact chapter does Tom establish that two people can fall in love and have unplanned babies?

It seems like if you know that having a kid will 100% kill you, you'd take pretty extreme measures to not get pregnant ever. Carver should have gotten the snip. Then they could have adopted or something.

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. Yeah you can adopt and have a kid and raise them and love them without giving them your soul. But what would be the point? Then you'd just live for a while, and die, and your fire would go out. Permanently. It's not a simple "If I have a kid, I die." What would happen to your soul if there wasn't someplace for it to go? Ysengrim's right on this, like on so many other things. It was a gift, one of an unbroken chain of gifts that stretches back to when someone first found beauty in a fire. It's not death, it's lighting a new fire from the embers of the old. Maybe fire elemental people age at an accelerated rate? Maybe they're not long for this world anyway?

Furthermore, while Surma was probably completely cool with it, Anthony probably went into it with complete confidence he could stop it. It's entirely speculative, but it's such a tragic story of hubris on one side and a story of pure unselfish love on the other.

So I started reading this thing last night. A total of four hours passed (two hours last night and two now) and now I'm caught up. Funny how that happens. I like Coyote because he contrasts with everything else in the comic.

I've never pictured younger Annie as voiced all roboty, I've always seen it as she became that way once her mum died and her dad left her all along at the court. (I don't think I really had a voice for Annie before but it's nice to have one now)

Before Surma died, Annie was a fairly normal little girl living in strange circumstances with a seemingly distant father. It wasn't until just before she came to Gunnerkrigg when she shut herself down.

Hey welcome to Britain, we have hosed up accents, especially those who are unfortunate enough to be in Yorkshire. That said I always kind of imagined that Annie had one of those non-accents. But that might be because I don't have much of an accent and was projecting.

I thought the same thing, except for the Irish bit. I imagined her being very emotionless and disengaged. Also, having grown up in a big hospital full of specialist doctors, international patients, and psychopomps, I wouldn't expect her to have a strong regional accent.

If, say, your soul faces oblivion if you don't pass it to your offspring, then having a child is a very, very good thing. Sure, without a child, you'd live longer, but once you get past child-bearing age, you'd know you're then just biding time until extinction.

Annie to me speaks with something close to Received Pronunciation/queens English/Generic Southerner. It might be because her narration in the first few chapters is very formal and clipped, or just 'cause I'm from the south(ish) myself.
