Razorwired posted:tl;dr - In some cultures Coyote keeps his mythic name while other animals are separated between the mundane and the symbolic. This can be an important distinction. When taking this into account it can absolutely matter that if Renard is a fox or "Fox". Don't get me wrong, because that explanation was really interesting and I always enjoy reading about language, but I feel like you kind of missed my point. It doesn't matter (for the purposes of this conversation) what the convention is regarding Coyote and the cultures he comes from. If Renard were a mythological figure from the west coast of North America, then sure, that might matter. But he's not; he's from France. As I said, there is no reason to apply standards from some cultures to the naming conventions of figures from entirely unrelated cultures located on another continent. Our analysis of Renard (or anyone else) should be based on what we've seen in the comic and what we know of the stories he is based on, not based on how he would fit into the cultural background of a different character entirely. MikeJF posted:I have no idea what this will be about but it looks like it's gonna be good. I am boldly predicting that this chapter will be well-drawn and well-written, and that it will be enjoyable to read. Unless Boxbot is in it, obviously.

Wallflower. Maybe about some shy person, not sure if Annie would qualify for this anymore, so it's either not that or it's about some shy person we either haven't seen or I can't remember at the moment. Or this will be the DBZ Driving Test Episode of Gunnerkrigg Court, in which case it will be the best thing.

Brightman posted:not sure if Annie would qualify for this anymore That's a good read of the cover image. I think Annie still qualifies, though she has made progress in that regard. The last get-together we saw involved her spending the entire time with Jack (Chibisoma trigger warning  ), and there was that awkward pause when they found out they would be out all night.Or maybe this is when we get introduced to Tom's reclusive supergenius self-insert character.

She has made a lot of progress though, also the chapter could really be about anything the way this comic usually goes. Best guess is it will be some sort of social gathering event thing, maybe something official this time like a school dance, but that seems sorta ordinary...but subverting that scenario could play out amusingly well.

I suspect this chapter will be about Annie as medium for the Forest. The imagery matches her role as a Forest agent in the Court.

I'm going to take this as literally as I can and consider the chapter about Gillitie/Coyote starting to push against the Court, a shift in power dynamics kind of thing. I don't need any of your fancy symbolizing or metaphorical reads!

Maybe she'll finally take a course that Kat doesn't take. Maybe Kat will take a course with Paz instead of Annie, possibly even changing her schedule last minute to do so. edit: Sometimes I forget how sentences and words work. Brightman fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Aug 9, 2013 |

I have been wanting Annie's cheating to get addressed ever since Renard gave her poo poo for it. She's obviously fairly smart, so the fact she just completely ignores doing her school work would make for an interesting chapter (especially how Kat would react to it - it might possibly cause a division in their relationship that pushes her closer to Paz?).

It might, were Kat a lovely friend; she isn't, though, so a more likely reaction would be to offer to help Annie out in whatever subjects she sucks at (all of them).

Besides they already had some strain on their friendship and went right back, I don't know if they'd go there again for something minor. Kat is just a really good friend.

Yeah no way, what'll happen when/if Kat discovers that Annie cheats off of her is that Kat will just be so sad and disappointed. "You... you don't like double physics? How can you not like... double physics..."

Perhaps this chapter will have Annie start noticing Kat and Paz hanging out more. But because Kat hasn't told Annie anything yet she's misunderstanding it as Kat getting a new best friend instead of Kat is now dating Paz.

You can't just slap SnK's opening onto everything. I'm expecting this to be more Medium stuff, though--maybe Annie having to learn some unexpected responsibility of being the forest medium very quickly.

Not that she'd turn out to be transsexual, that it'd just like, happen. Because forced magical genderbending is more palatable than lesbians.

I would agree with you if Annie had just generally been cheating, but she has specifically been copying Kat's homework for years. That's a major violation of Kat's trust, especially now that they are roommates. I think Kat would justifiably be angry about it, more so than being sad or disappointed.

Kat and Paz play Vocaloid games. Or at least Paz does, and both like rhythm games. I wonder if Annie knows yet. (Not about the rhythm games.)

Dogdoo 8 posted:I think there's a chance there's at least some international clientele. Annie learned Polish and met Muut at Good Hope. There's a pretty sizable Polish population in the UK. Also any university town will have quite a mix of nationalities. About the homework copying: I remember her doing it that one time, but has there been anything to show that she's done it a lot? I see people here talking about Annie ignoring her schoolwork for years and I'm not sure where that impression's coming from.
