Quite a rise for Cassidy. It'll be interesting to see where she places in the next poll.

Newest treatise is the best one because it features double the Annies of the previous ones.

I won this avatar on a technicality this thick.
I'm trying to figure out the various alchemical symbols shown on the treatise and I got most of them figured out. The ones I haven't are the square and Star of David(?).

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I looked up all the alchemical symbols, so I figure I might as well dump them ITT for anyone else who's interested, here they are, roughly top-to-bottom:

The Star of David symbol at the top is a combination of fire and water, which can be interpreted as "balance". Also wikipedia says it can be used to mean quintessence/aether but it had a [citation needed].
The z with a slash is probably zinc.
The London Underground symbol is salt, which is associated with the body (in the trio of mind, body, soul associated with mercury, salt, and sulfur).
The square I can't figure out.
Triangle pointing up is fire.
The weird hook cross thing is lead, or Saturn.
The male symbol is iron, or Mars.
The triangle pointing down is water.
The female symbol is copper, or Venus.
The female symbol with horns is mercury, Mercury, or mind.
The female symbol but with a triangle is sulfur, or soul.

Keep in mind that alchemists used lots of different symbols at different times/places, so this is all approximate.

On the subject of semi-obscure symbols, the two crossed keys in Kat's right hand are usually used to represent the "Keys of Heaven" and are associated with Saint Peter.
In Forest Annie's left hand is Coyote's representation of Tony.
The constellation in the background looks like Boötes.

I don't get a lot of the "whys" especially the alchemical symbols, but here's my remaining "what" questions:
The moon is present with two other orbs. What are they? The brown one looks like it has cracks in it.
What is hanging from Forest Annie's belt?
What's the yellowish banner with weird spikes?
Are the carvings on Annies' crowns anything specific?

In Forest Annie's left hand is one of those totems.


EDIT: forgot to mention before, but seeing Kat with that chain on her wrist makes me worried.

A totem with her father's face (as represented by Coyote).

Interesting that it's grouped up with Coyote's artifacts.

From its position opposite the world, I'd guess the Ether.
And Kat is shackled to it.

iirc when the Annies met with Kat just before meeting the arbiter. She used it to make a scanner to find the Water and Goose Bone

I'm concerned about the robot shooting a Kamehemeha in the tapestry. The tapestries usually foretell some event...

The robot is to the left of the knife wielding Annie's head.

Looks more like a line of robots approaching a giant robot-head-shaped terminal to me. The "Kamehameha" beam is a strong and solid connection back to ???? - but note that it seems to be aligned with tree roots, like Ysengrin's, as opposed to the Coyote colors on the opposite side.

if we're looking at the same thing it looks visually reminiscent of the first panel here https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2287

For a moment I was confused and looked for a knife with hands that was brandishing Annie's head menacingly, as if the fact that it was a knife-with-hands wasn't menacing enough.

Literally this exact thing has happened.

Is this that robot that was put into a human body, or what?

It's impossible for a write-in to get less than one vote, because without a vote they wouldn't have been written in.

Ah drat I was hoping that there was a list of characters outside the top 10 so much that I ended up ignoring that 920 bubble in the panel.
