I hope she's just weirded out that Surma, of all people, ended up with Tony, of all people; and not that she's still hung up about being rejected as a kid.

Yeah I'm assuming it's more of a "how the hell did she manage to convince that dork to get with her? And why?" Than any reflection on herself.

If Tony somehow manages to swooce his way into Brinnie's life and rekindle her crush on him from 30 years ago over the next five years of this comic I will throw my hat on the ground and stamp on it angrily like yosemite sam

I too that it is incredibly unrealistic that Tony "Bad Dad" Carver would make any decision that could remotely lead towards happiness for himself.

Also big feels at Anja and Brinnie remembering that Surma is gone. They all knew. :smith:

Yet another person who dgaf about time shifting, it's a big whatever that there's two of them for her.

But, "That guy I liked had kids with Surma????" otoh...

I do appreciate that the lady they called to talk time travel with is also pretty quick on the uptake and identified the shifting. Brinnie knows her stuff.

Eglamore just entered into some kind of romantic relationship with a mortal for the first time in ages, let's not throw more drama into the poor guy's life immediately

I like that every single person who has been told about Tony and Surma has reacted exactly the same way because they are just the least likely couple ever

edit: Except for I think Coyote who also assumed it was Jimmy Jims and then just busted out laughing when he was corrected

I just started reading in April and “Oh! In that case, how awkward! AHAHAHAHA” was the moment I fell in love with Coyote

I really think we would have already heard about that if this was the case. Making a big deal about her father being a psychic and them wondering what powers she'd end up with doesn't make a lot of sense if her mother is also a literal god.

Why'd you think she got recalled? Sentenced with the greatest punishment of all, re-living your awkward school years, and Brinnie just goes and does even more bad stuff.

Odin swears she got it from the Greek side of the family...

It doesn't seem like she's thousands of years old since she was a child at the court. I think the implication is that all those legends about her exist because she's capable of time travel, hence why they called her up.

For all his flaws, Tony seems to attract a real top tier class of woman. A Valkyrie, a fire elemental - talk about out of one's league.
