Iceclaw posted:So, she proposed Ayilu something valuable in exchange for her help in a dangerous task, making no effort to conceal that it was dangerous, and doing nothing to coerce her. I don't get the hosed up part. I think the key is that giving a name is something that costs Annie nothing, and was super important to Ayilu. Annie easily could have given her a name without having her help out, it's not like giving her a name costs Annie anything. It's also something Annie knew Ayilu desperately wanted, and that she'd be unlikely to turn it down. It's kind of like going "oh hey, I'll give you the key to those handcuffs binding you if you do some favor for me" - giving the key costs nothing and you could very easily do it with no payment needed, but insisting on the favor first instead skews it into the realm of manipulation. I do think Red was overly harsh, but they have a point.

Oh right, it started attacking Parley first, yeah definitely not Jones. I was thinking Jones would be smart enough to just go "eh fine I know Parley sees me as a weird monster, may as well just hold her off until she realizes what's going on."

I'm curious where the loving lake water is. It WAS in that little vial, which is now empty. Did someone drink it? Is it mixed into a pool or something?

Kantesu posted:And just so we have where this was established: https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2162 Y'know, I never interpreted this as "the real Annie isn't in this time line anymore" or even "this isn't the comic's original time line." Rather, I read it as "Annie herself never belonged to the time line of the comic." after all, we never visited that dude previously to have him confirm Annie belonged here.

I think the problem isn't that Loup is unlikable, it's that he isn't a very interesting character so far. I too have faith in Tom, but he just doesn't have much charisma and isn't very fun to hate. He's just kind of bratty and obnoxious. Of course, the last few chapters have felt a bit... Weird. I feel like the art style has had a lot more deformed chibi style depictions added to it than it ever used to have. Maybe Tom is just trying out different styles, but these last few Loup pages especially feel like almost a different art style than before. With how much Tom pays attention to style matching substance, I'm guessing this isn't just him experimenting.

To clarify I meant in general rather than just Loup, but thinking about it maybe it's only been Loup, Reynard, and the Annies that have been drawn like that? Has anyone else?

Regy Rusty posted:I know we're all having fun making that same joke over and over but Loup already remembered the goose bone being a memory. Just because he already remembers it, doesn't mean that it doesn't contain that memory! It could just contain a memory he already has, essentially being worthless.

Nettle Soup posted:I really love the style on these last pages, with the moving terrain. He really can't keep the forest together. You know, I've been assuming that the last several pages have taken place in the ether due to the surreal art, but now I'm wondering - is this literally how the forest looks? Is this just what the forest is like now? Does Loup have SUCH a poor grasp on the forest that it's starting to resemble the ether?

To be fair to Paz, we don't actually know WHAT she's upset about beyond Kat overworking herself and not being open. We don't know if Paz thinks this is cus of the dual Annies or something else that the Annies legitimately do have more control over.

jng2058 posted:I dunno, feels like Paz (and some of the posters here!) seem to be giving Annie more agency in all this than is really the case. Outside of being a better Loup-wrangler (which may well be outside her capabilities) I'm not sure what exactly anyone's expecting Annie by herselves to do about all this. To be fair we also don't know what Paz is upset about, beyond "Kat's overworked, and Paz thinks Annie's to blame"

Kantesu posted:Hilariously out there theory: Zimmy is actually this timeline's Annie and Annie not belonging in this timeline predates Loup by a wide margin. poo poo this would be great. I've actually theorized that "our" Annie never belonged here in the first place, or at least for some great length of time. We never have had proof that she belonged in this timelime, we just assumed she did.

Dr Subterfuge posted:At least one of those Annies was swiped from another timeline, but yeah I guess not belonging could also include "you're supposed to be dead." Yeah, they never said "neither of them belong in this time line" - it was just "neither of them should be here" Also worth noting is that the interpreter in that scene mentioned that "normally there is no need for more than one timeline or dimension, but some creatures, like coyote, can create them if they wish." I'm guessing this means there aren't a billion timelines like the thread is speculating - maybe there's really only the two. Kat's initial line of questioning wasn't even" how do we get Annie back" but was "there's a timeline where Annie doesn't come out of the forest?" - that there's now a timeline with no Annie. I'm wondering if Kat is less concerned with making things "right" or whatever with the timelines and is more concerned with the alternate version of herself that lost her best friend, or (less selfishly) that timeline in general for not having an Annie in general.

Saoshyant posted:The thing about the birds is that they supposedly predate even the court's robots. They weren't made to save Annie but to watch over everything. Or so the robots said. I'm wondering if Kat is doing this to try to learn something about how the arrow was made and how it works, to try to fix Annie's predicament - something she couldn't learn just by experimenting with it, and now that the interdimensional police or whoever gave her that dire warning about messing with it, she can't do any more experiments on the arrow itself. But if she could just make one from scratch...

Wa11y posted:Because, I think finding out you will build something like that in the future would be kinda horrifying and put some SERIOUS pressure on you, because now YOU have to figure out how to get to the point where you CAN make something like that. Just in general, putting aside the possibility that something you will make will screw with the timeline and possibly prevent your friend from dying like they were supposed to. And then realizing you HAVE to make it because you HAVE made it. Nonsense! Kat can just send the instructions back in time to herself, then she'll know how to do it!

Dr Subterfuge posted:Nonsense! Her future self can decide the work involved in solving the problem was valuable in its own right and give her squat! Her future self has kept her in the dark until now after all. Or maybe Temporal Affairs have some opinions about it. I still love the ghost interpreter guy who was like "Oh, yeah, Coyote makes some alternate timelines on occasion, it's really inconvenient" so mundanely, like it's just another day on the job.

Wittgen posted:Not if Kat's ascension is either the end goal of Coyote's plan or some essential component to it. I wonder if coyote's plan to "defeat" the court is to prod Kat along until she makes machines that are identical to nature, and thus begins spreading nature throughout the court. He doesn't want to beat the court by forcing nature into them, but instead by tricking them into turning themselves into nature. E: granted coyote's never seemed that against technology, he doesn't seem to hate it or anything. I actually am not very confident in his opinion of the court in general. Loup is more than happy to destroy it, but I don't know if coyote wants to. E2: alternate plan, coyote wants to k ow what it's like to go up against a God that he himself didn't make CodfishCartographer fucked around with this message at 00:11 on May 30, 2020 |

We should also keep in mind this is purely Kat's speculation - other theories about neither Annie belonging could still be applicable, we don't know for certain that Kat is correct.

Warmachine posted:I unironically loved The Stone. I know it was en vogue to complain about the pacing, but it really worked for me as a "holy poo poo" piece. It legit is probably one of mine too, although to be fair I didn't read it live. It's a fantastic chapter that explores a really cool idea.

Warmachine posted:Or all of this is predestined. Everything that will happen has happened and everything that has happened will happen. Nothing is unaccounted for, and the start and endpoints are arbitrary. Tom usually has a pretty clever twist on many of these concepts, so I'm going to guess it won't be as clear-cut as just "yeah everything is fate" My prediction is that everyone has free will, but ALSO everything is predetermined. So like, you have free will and can do whatever you choose! But you will always choose to do the exact same thing, so it's sort of like everything is set in stone! So there's some reasoning why / how you can't know what you'll do in advance, so there's no way you can do something different. There could maybe be some ether poo poo too, like the future is "fake" that is created by the ether based on what each and every person connected to it plans to do. So if you can somehow see the future and decide to change it, then the future literally changes to have "always have been" how it will be based on this change. Sort of like how Coyote put the stars in the sky, or how Jones came to be.
