Itzena posted:I've got this faint sense that this might just end with Tony breaking down and begging Donnie to help with Antimony because he has absolutely no idea how to reach the real her - something like he's waiting for her to start acting like Surma Jr. (because he remember how to manage that) without figuring out that there's a fair old chunk of Carver stoicism in there as well. That's how I see this going as well. As far as Tony goes, taking care of Annie has always been someone else's problem. When he was working on a cure for Surma, she was looking after Annie and when she died, Annie became Tony's problem, but he solved that by foisting her off onto the court. Now he's back, and Annie is once again his to care for and as we've seen, he's got absolutely no idea.

So just to make sure I'm not confused - this is taking place some time after the failed dinner, yeah?

Since Annie is in her school uniform and she hadn't worn it at the dinner, it must at least be the next day - presumably late afternoon or evening since neither Annie, Tony nor Don are busy.

Podima posted:So just to make sure I'm not confused - this is taking place some time after the failed dinner, yeah? I'm not sure, but I don't get the impression that Anthony was really phased by the dinner and needed time to cool off. Just cause he doesn't seem comfortable expressing himself in front of people (with the exception of Donnie and presumably Surma) doesn't mean that he took personal offense to anything that was going on. He simply might have wanted to end an awkward situation as fast as possible, just as he'll use work as an excuse to do the same. Tony and Donnie seem to have a close enough relationship where they are free to be frank and not take offense. Though he probably didn't want to have that talk in front of the kids, and Donnie picked up on that. If anyone is pissed right now, it might be Donnie cause he has yet to smile or anything here. Maybe one day Annie will get to have smiling jokester tony in her life, but the fact that he treats her so probably indicates that he has no idea how to interact with her. Possibly due to resentment about Surma's death, but it could just be he has no idea about how to be a father and so he just emotionally walls himself off and runs away because that's his response to every difficult interpersonal problem so far that we've seen. That's my random speculation anyways. Great updates and I love that Tom manages to make this stuff even more compelling than all the etheric and magic stuff.

This page is having the opposite effect on me and making me more angry that he didn't even attempt to show an ounce of affection for his daughter.

a bloody icon posted:This page is having the opposite effect on me and making me more angry that he didn't even attempt to show an ounce of affection for his daughter. Oh don't get me wrong, he is a horrible dad. He withholds affection, ignores her for years, humiliates her in public and cuts her off from most of her friends and her support network she had built up. Renard, the dude who tried to kill her once, is 10x the father figure he is which is really saying something. (Though Donnie is best dad of course) But that said, hes a very complicated character and it'll be interesting to see what happens, if Annie is able to better understand him and either reject him or try to rebuild their relationship into something healthier for the both of them. It's doubtful Anthony is going to be the person to make that happen so it's going to be Annie who gets to make that call most likely. ^^^ I know that's a joke but if Annie has problems relating to people, that's probably her dad's fault too. She started the comic very reserved and emotionally distant and has only now been able to get to a better place. Her father returns and all that isolation comes back and it's likely not a coincidence. How much was she suffering at the start of the comic, before she had friends or people to really talk to and get her? Right after her mother died, her dad just ups and leaves her in a strange place and then never tries to contact her or reassure her or anything.

I think it is a bit early to say he is withholding affection. Being unable to show or showing affection in very bizarre ways is very different to withholding it.

tonberrytoby posted:It was early, until Tony started showing affection in a fairly normal way for Donnie. That does not mean he has affection for Annie. I think he does personally but not necessarily. Also a relationship with an old pal is very different to one with your estranged daughter whom you abandoned. Withholding affection means he likes Annie and is purposefully being cruel which I don't think is the case. I like your Netero icon.

Blackheart posted:Maybe Annie is a poo poo tier daughter and he just plain doesn't like her Or she looks remarkably similar to the wife who he loved dearly. You know, the one that died because Antimony exists. He's an rear end in a top hat but I can certainly understand some of the "why" he acts the way he does.

We've been told that Tony worries about relationships to the point where he acts emotionless and hurts people he cares about.quote:The more he beat himself up over Brinnie, the quieter he became when we were in a group. Frankly, Brinnie was starting to get offended eta: A familiar, emotionless expression eta2: This got mentioned a couple days ago
