AfroSquirrel posted:Does no one remember the Hettie chapter? Yeah, that and the whole Coyote saying that it is Renard's love for Annie that keeps him there in the first place.Which is important because Coyote cannot lie outright. Renard isn't stupid, he knows that doing something bad to Anthony would hurt Annie even if he would want to do something to him. Mind you, something still might happen (what if Renard witnesses Anthony doing something like that etheric surgery on Annie again?). But people acting like Renard is going to kill Anthony the first chance he gets haven't been paying attention to the comic. Also I have a feeling that if the Annie says something about the break in during the dinner, the Donlans are probably going to take Anthony's side on the matter. Remember they may not understand him, but he is their friend and they trust him. JuniperCake fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Jun 2, 2015 |

They liked Surma, and yeah Kat's dad and Anthony were "friends" but even Kat's dad seemed rather perplexed by literally everything he did. Anthony's a mystery to basically everybody still alive right now, and need I remind everyone that his presence is almost certainly orchestrated by the Court itself? At least the Headmaster.

They've been visibly dating, they were together on the cruise ship, it'd be surprising to me if her parents didn't know.

It was pointed out by Renard that the Court as a society is very different from the rest of humanity and that of all people, Annie was most likely to have a problem with it.

I don't see why he wouldn't. Kat's dad still knows a lot about Anthony, like the story he told Annie about how he deals with emotional difficulties in a rather avoidant/internal kind of way. Something that he noticed in Annie when he handed her that glass (Tom wasn't subtle with them digging their nails into their palms in the same exact way). Though Annie, at least before, was growing to become more extroverted and open, her dad's reemergence seems to be bringing her back to how she was before. He knows that you can't take Anthony at face value and a lot of his deal is beneath the surface. He also knows the dude has more emotion and etc that he lets on, remember that Mr. Donlan was his confidant throughout school. So yeah, I suspect Mr. Donlan still harbors a lot of good will and trust towards Anthony. Trust in the sense that he'd probably believe that Anthony has good intentions even if he isn't expressing himself or going about things in the best way. Also while sneaking around a school is one thing (he's done that himself), I don't think he'd be okay with his daughter breaking into his friend's private home.

Only just noticed it in this page, it's kind of interesting that in this chapter Anthony's calling him Renard whereas last chapter he said Renardine

After all that fuss and what he did to Annie, I suddenly feel a twinge of sympathy for Anthony. It's probably really lonely for him. What can I say, my heartstrings are easily plucked.

Mr. Eglamore told Anthony about Renards change of heart, and all he wants is a good talk about old times and reminisce with Rey about old times

If they'd actually looked at the chair they'd see it's a charging dock, obviously.

It's been said before but there's no bigger a mystery in this story than why Surma and this autistic, hideous guy got together.

I'm gonna go with "she was able to look past his unpleasant facade with her psychic mind powers and see the burning, passionate intellect within, and also he was hot, and so she got together with him without considering the kind of relationship she could have with someone who was indistinguishable from a robotic rear end in a top hat to everyone else on the planet."

Yo I think you guys are forgetting that Tony didn't have that messed up mug until recently. http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=813 There's still the whole autism thing though.

That's actually pretty interesting, because it indicates that he hasn't actually aged worse than his contemporaries, but changed suddenly sometime recently. On the other hand, it happened at least partially while Annie was there, or she would probably have commented on the change alongside his missing hand.

Poor girl was in shock, and he shut her down the moment she asked about the hand; I doubt she would have had the courage to say anything about his face after that.

Okay, yeah, his eyes are definitely smaller and weird, and I don't think Zimmy punching him could account for that. Him making a robot Surrogate and skimping on the eye cameras might account for it though  .

I mean, even if Donald is still feeling super friendly towards Anthony in general, Anthony's not the sort of guy you great with a "hey, how've you been!" You want to make him feel comfortable by reciprocating his steely gaze and curt language.

Reminds me of this http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1018 http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1019 Specifically the fact that she feels the ridged edge of the Gi and feels reassured by it. To me that means she does have good memories of her dad. I remember my dad teaching me Karate, beating me around the mat, being super critical of me, and wanting my best. I mean my dad never abandoned me, I mean if anything I ditched my family for a few years. There is more to Tony. I guarantee it. Do not read this as me defending his abandonment of his child.
