MikeJF posted:In repayment, I guess I'll go evangelise Gunnerkrigg some more. If there's anything I've learned ever since the Avatar fairy gave me mine, it's that you're evangelizing every time you post with that avatar in your profile. Though talking about it directly also helps.

Finally decided I was long overdue for a GKC avatar... settled on the Moddey Dhoo, love those eyes, but explored a few others along the way, which I'll leave here in case somebody else should find them appealing.

Okay, that's it. I can't let another Coyote pass me by. I've enjoyed Shadow, but I'll be taking this. Hmm, I'll let the thread suggest quotes. That's always fun. Let's not go with the "I'm very powerful" or "plucking the moon from very sky.", those are used I believe.

Hanks Lust Cafe posted:I can see why Neil Gaiman was (apparently?) into this, it is completely in the same spirit and put me in the same mood as when I read through the Bone comics as a child. What a loving gem of a webcomic. GKC has always made me think more of Gaiman's Sandman comics, in particular the fusion of pre-existing and entirely new mythologies and the world-building around that.

There's a missing apostrophe in the last panel, Tom. I know you like to know these things. If I got this av:  does it even need text? I've had this Master Plan avatar forever.

Feels more Stardusty, Sandman's main story is dark as hell and centres on the adventures of a bunch of dark callous gods. Me I'm going to invoke the Avatar fairy, because doing such things never goes wrong in these kind of stories.

Regy Rusty posted:The best part about this is that we don't know for sure which is [sic: Ysengrin's true form.] My theory was that the ether form is the way he truly is, the tree form is how others see him, and the scraggly dying wolf is how he sees himself. Coyote asked a trick question. Annie never saw Ysengrin's true form - she'd only seen some aspects of his mind, body, and soul. Ysengrin's physical body is a vessel for his mind and soul. It's also decrepit, vulnerable, no longer self-sufficient. He depends on a wooden suit of armor to compensate for his weaknesses and to project power. The suit is only removed when he thinks he's safe and alone. Ysengrin's spiritual form is a visual representation of his soul, independent of his inner and outer appearances. Souls in Gunnerkreig seem to bind the mind and body to emotions and personality. Lost souls and ghosts appear to retain some emotions and personalities but they don't seem to remember life before death. We don't know what happens if the soul dies but the body and mind remain. Maybe that happened to Ms. Jones. --- Which page is "delivery bot with clipboard" from? I love it!
