Fried Chicken posted:Any other story, I'd guess he is off doing something now that Annie will be horrified at. She's going to walk up on it, see it, and realize that big cuddly Ysengrin and the fun fun funny fun people of the forest are every bit as ruthless and nasty as the Court (which Jones said). People seem to think Annie's view on the forest is far more idealised than I do. I think she's perfectly aware that Ysengrin and Coyote can be ruthless and nasty, in the same way she's aware that Renard has blood on his hands or that the security of the court (and she's friendly to the vast majority of the court's inhabitants, more so, I would say, then she is to the forest's) is bought by Keannie's slavery. She overlooks these things but I don't think she's ever forgetten them.

I thought about looking into some morphing software to make in-between frames so it'd be smoother, but that'd make it larger than 30kb. Wait, I'm dumb:  Now it looks good.

This is probably a weird observation, but Ysengrin's tree arms are looking even more tree buff than usual. I suppose it's just another symptom of the continuing art improvement. (e: Tom, it is amazing to me that your art has become so fantastic and yet is still showing visible signs of improvement. You are great.) lesbian baphomet fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Aug 15, 2012 |

Ugh, I just love Annie and Ysengrin's relationship. To see where they started, and to see the dynamic now... I remember the days where he'd use that hand to try and kill her, and look at them now! This comic is just too good!

Maybe Ysengrin's going to tell us HIS great secret! The chapter title could be ambiguous enough to refer to both.

I really like this writing. With Ysengrin's denial about Coyote's idea, and with Annie calling it a theory. I personally am not sure if Coyote's correct on this one.

For somebody who crushes the bones of their prey in their jaws, he was doing a pretty lousy job with that fish. Even in the first fight in the court, he bared his teeth and then attacked with the tree-hands.

Regy Rusty posted:Yeah Coyote's right. The main thing is that he understands what Ysengrin doesn't - their power originating from humans doesn't necessarily diminish it. Its not only that. Take Ysengrin's comment about Annie's fire elemental ancestry for example. He says that fire elementals must be just stories that humans make up, but that isn't really what Coyote means at all. If you follow Coyote's reasoning then what happens is humans looked at a flame and thought about how the flame looked like it was alive, and they may have assigned other characteristics to it like it was beautiful or looked like it was dancing or crackled angrily or embracing whatever it was burning or whatever. And then those humans die and become the aether and eventually somewhere a fire elemental emerges. At no point does the human think hey that flame is literally a fire elemental. Calling it 'stories' diminishes or shows a (perhaps willful) misunderstanding of the what exactly Coyote means. After all, with the example of the man alone dying in the desert, there was no story told there either.

What I mean is Ysengrin is taking that a bit literally, whereas Coyote was, it seemed to me at least, talking in part in metaphor.

You're all missing the true bombshell implied by what we've learned so far which is the whole comic takes place long after an apocalyptic 'Mushroom War' and Finn and Flame Princess are Annie's ancestors. But seriously GC is amazing which makes it all the more frustrating I have a hard time properly evangelizing it to others.
