This looks like it would be a good banner ad for this site that leads to one of those those "trash found on ali express" sites.

Poor Elgamore, he just succumbed to the common Kirk fantasy of having a conventionally attractive partner who's green. Now he has to spend all day being judged by his ex's weird prude kid who got cloned.

Entirely plausible, since Annie doesn't believe that Jones is as emotionless as she claims. She hasn't even seen how Jones displays affection to Eglamore like we have.

She also was not wearing clothes

Clearly this was Tom foreshadowing Jones' clothes burning up on reentry from being launched into the upper atmosphere half a decade of real life time later.

I went back and reread the chapter where Idra first showed up and found this: https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2204

Turns out Idra was able to find her own place to stay, and that place is Jimmy's house.

I like that many many chapters later it's finally revealed by Tony that he did in fact get punched right in the face by Zimmy exactly as we saw it happen, specifically because Zimmy punching Tony in the face is so drat cool

I don't read it as Annie having a crush on Jones, but using her as a role model for the emotionless front she puts up (and Zimmy misinterpreting the pretty obvious imagery). Although I'm sure things could have changed in the time since then.

That seems like a real 'gals being pals' read to me. She's explicitly mirroring the pose of the elf boy that everyone accepts Annie does/did crush one, she's naked, and reaching out for an embrace. The mask seems like a reaction to Zimmy catching her in an emotionally vulnerable position.

As a gay girl I may be biased but it would never have even occured to me not to read that scene as Annie having a crush on Jones and Kamlen both.

You know you didn't have to go post that, right?
But it's fine, I guess...

You just keep being you!

I think Jones is the knowing, calm and rational person who that Annie tries to be - in order to appease her father, among other reasons I'd guess - so all these desired attributes lead to a crush on Jones.

Of course, Jones is only all these things due to aspects of her that Annie can't hope to be - namely being an immortal sort-of-magical rock lady who has been around since the year dot.

Actually your comments made me reconsider and I'm kinda turning my mind around. She may possibly see Jones as an emotionally "safe" partner.

I still think it's unlikely, but the way that scene was presented... It does seem strange, seeing as it was literally in Annie's head.

I certainly think it's way more likely (and way more healthy) than Jimmy Jims being the crush.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
Jones is also the one originally holding the mask on that page, so there does seem to be an element of transference or imitation.

This is also a dream where all kinds of vulnerable subconscious things pop up (see next two pages where friendship with Kat is juxtaposed with cheating off her homework). We might not even be talking about a consciously acknowledged attraction but her mind is going from "elf stud I might have dated last summer" to "nude hot immortal rock lady" so imo there's at least some attraction there even if it's not full on "Antimony <3 Jones"

Physically safe too, since Annie's soul gets jacked if she ever has a kid.

I'm pretty sure the mask is Annie's make up.

I don't think Annie has a crush on Jones. I think Jones was naked as an ether thing. She has been naked for way longer than 99.999% of her existence after all.
