Tenebrais posted:Rereading The Stone recently, Surma explicitly chose Tony over Jimmy Jims. Whatever her reason for choosing him, she at least had one; it wasn't just a case of him being the only human male around when fire needed to spread. I must say, reading The Stone backwards (so, chronologically from Jones' perspective) is interesting. Anyways, I remember back when the parents were kids, it was noted that Surma doesn't like Jones. But we know that Jones and Eglamore have a particularly close relationship, based on The Stone. So it may be that to a certain extent, Surma turned down Eglamore because of it. ...just a thought.

My suspicion is that Eglamore and Surma had a falling out that Eglamore perceived as "taking a break" when it was actually "we're done."

The last panel of the next comic is just going to be Kat's shocked face as Annie tells her Renard is gone or that she has to give him to her Dad. And then Monday's comic will be a pigeon loving around on the street outside for 6 panels.

What would happen if someone stole Reynardine? I guess she could probably track him down in the aether.

This is good for Antimony. Reynardine tried to kill her one time ages ago and has experienced no character growth whatsoever in the thousand intervening pages which have also offered no explanation for why he tried to do that other than his inherent malevolence so it's only right that he be taken away from her. He is the real abuser here, not Antimony's father.

Aumanor posted:Okay, this is the second page in this chapter that's made me like Annie a lot, lot less. Remember, THIS was her actual reaction to being given this order. She is very much NOT okay with the transfer, despite how it appears on this page. She is just utterly incapable of disobeying her father, in a way that's actually extremely terrifying. She reacts to her father with complete emotional shutdown and wide-eyed obedience, even for an instruction she's opposed to as much as she possibly could be. It's why some people have wacky mind control theories going on, though it's probably more about pure psychological terribleness.

"Father thinks it's the right thing to do. And Father is a right, correct, good man who loves me. Thusly, if Father thinks it's the right thing to do than it must be the correct thing to do, no matter how... strange I may think it is at first."

The way she phrases it is interesting, too: "I am to give him to my father". Not only is there no personal agency in that sentence, there's not even a "have to" or a "supposed to". Father said something is going to happen, so it's going to happen. His word isn't even law, his word is truth. Her carrying out the action is just incidental. The more I think about it, Anthony's relationship with his daughter is scary as hell. EDIT: (p.s. don't engage the troll) Ditocoaf fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Apr 17, 2015 |

My guess is Kat is going to take Renard against Annie's will, which would maybe break Annie's ownership of him. ...honestly I just can't imagine a situation where Renard isn't leading the charge against Anthony, so to speak.

Fucknag posted:she is literally an emotionally traumatized abused child In fact, let's unpack this a little. When Annie first gets to school it's likely weeks after her mother died, a process which Annie had to do herself. Her response is to clam up completely, and she's stuck like that until Kat becomes close friends with her. Then there's the adventure with Reynard where she discovers that her dad has vanished. She responds by saying "maybe I displeased him, or he wants nothing more to do with me." When someone blames themselves for the lovely things other people do, that's really bad. That's one of the most insidious effects of abuse, making the victim feel like they deserve it. And this is Annie's first year at school! She sure didn't get this from Tony's effective presence in school, Dad of the year must've taken time out of his busy surgeon schedule to instill this cowering meekness in Annie while she was in the hospital. But hey, separated from her father Annie has made a vast journey becoming her own person, accepting the death of her mother, learning to make friends, and growing into a career as the medium of the forest! These are important things, especially for a girl who got none of that for... what, ten years? More? Which is why it's extraordinarily lovely for Tony to come back and say none of that matters, get your grades up. Ah well. I can only hope that Kat can shake Annie out of this reverie she's in right now. I also hope Annie is so spaced she just didn't connect the dots on how she's effectively imprisoning Renard. Because if she goes along with this even against Kat's protests, well, I can only imagine something extremely drastic happening next.

Anthony might and probably has good intentions, but in the end, they don't really matter. His first few orders were kind of understandable, though the delivery was bad. His last few, while understandable if you squint (Rey is still considered a murderer only kept at bay by his bindings) are just straight lovely. Kat grabbing Rey and running to trigger the breaking of the charm might be smart.

Your sympathy is not misplaced and I agree with you. However I also feel sympathy towards Annie because her father is forcing her and she is undergoing a gigantic loving mental breakdown at this time. So I don’t blame her for being a victim of her father machinations. ElMaligno fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Apr 17, 2015 |

If this happens I hope Reynard decides the best course of action is to take the form of a giant pile of dongs and just hover in front of Anthony 24/7 Good luck getting anything done or being taken seriously by anyone now, idiot.
