I would sell my soul for that canvas. Or give away money and stuff, but w/e.

As for the recent update, it sucks when everybody around you thinks you're gay. Can't be an effeminate straight guy, and clearly you can't be a masculine straight girl.

Edit: don't worry, kat. we'll make it through.

Nobody thinks shes gay, she's just overreacting. Teenagers do that kind of thing.

Also, would kill to have that canvas. I guess he's selling some of them at his next con? Too bad it's several thousand miles away from here.

Somewhere ChibiSoma is seething in rage. "Siddell's just mocking me," he mumbles as he clutches his shipping diagram in the fetal position.

There have been a few times where it's been brought up before. Before Paz mentioned it I don't think it's been brought up in a way that wasn't meant to hurt or anger Annie and Kat, which could be why Kat's so reactive to it now. I know Reynard said something about it when he was in his rear end in a top hat phase and Jack taunted Kat with it during the camping trip.

Do you people really think that ChibiSoma is the first rear end in a top hat on the internet to obsess over how "totally lesbo" Annie and Kat are? I can remember it being a thing almost as long as Gunnerkrigg has been around.

No, but he was the first one dumb enough to do it all over the internet under the same username as he has here and then also post about it in a thread that Tea-san reads.

Not to mention a lot of direct insulting of Tom and his writing. He's not the first person, just the most spergy.

And yeah, this page is just Kat being hyper-sensitive about the whole thing since Paz and misinterpreting harmless actions as the gay. Presumably the rest of the chapter will be spent teaching her there's nothing wrong with that. A very special episode of Gunnerkrigg Court.

That's not what I actually think is going to happen.

It's a fencing weapon and she's wearing a fencing costume. She's fine. It's meant to bend safely. That's just a score for Robot.

I wonder if Robot could fight Jeanne. And if not, I wonder if Robot could safely dive to the riverbed.

No, sorry, Parley is dead now and Smitty must become grim and edgy so he can set off to destroy all robots to avenge her. Including Robox and Jones.

Jeanne is an Etheric being. Robots are robots. I guess the court robots have SOME Etheric factors to make them go, but for the most part they are material objects existing in the physical world. I doubt Robot could eve SEE her.

Which is why I was also wondering if Robot would be able to get down and fiddle around on the riverbed without tripping Jeanne.

That's more like it, Robot!

I wonder if the entire operation of destroying Diego's device could be carried out by robots. If Jeanne can't affect them, they could probably haul the arrow out of the water without disturbance and break it into tiny pieces or whatever. (I don't think we know for sure that Jeanne can't affect them, though.)

We don't know enough about exactly what was done to her and how it has bound her spirit to the shore to know what would happen. Also any interactions between the robots and Jeanne are going to be extremely unpredictable, given that they practically worship her. They're not unthinking tools.
