still funny that we went through this diversion right before annie's flashback montage adventure would have taken her to the part of the story where tony showed up

exciting development: zimmy says kat will kill her, right? well annie is about to think-warp everyone to kat, which, by dragging kat's technological workshop nightmare pocket dimension into zimmy's bizarro world, will kill zimmy! this fits in perfectly with tom's larger story beats because this way it'll all ultimately be annie's fault

Tom either set all this up without any idea of where it was going and flubbed the execution, MAJORLY changed his mind about what he wanted to do with it partway through, or is just genuinely a bad writer who actually thinks that this is an outcome that makes sense.

Yeah, it’s a real shame what happened with them joining a very culty born-again congregation and all mid-COVID, especially since they decided to ditch all the cool local mythology etc. writing in their future stuff in favour of spreading the word via bunny conspiracy comics… but they apparently had the whole year arc plotted and committed to finishing their original content/tone before going all uh. That. So it somehow ended in a satisfying way.

Which makes Gunnerkrigg’s status even sadder, given the comparison between this plot point speedrun going on the past years versus the “gotta wrap up my heresy properly for the readers before hanging out with my cult or it’s a dick move” commitment.

http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=1 this is the one we’re discussing btw.

oh no she joined a cult???? i loved that comic so much, the art was beautiful...

i literally even had (with her blessing on twitter at the time) the basis of my largest, favorite tattoo designed around a little throwaway piece of decoration on one of the lore infodump pages from SSSS...

A lot of people on various sides of the political aisle identify as not homophobic, and in fact wildly enthusiastic and supportive of the gays, as long as you're not one of Those Types.

this is true of most flavors of bigotry. i have vivid memories of high school racists making comments like "oh well i don't have a problem with black people, it's [gamer word]s i have a problem with. it's a mentality, you know? not every black person is a [gamer word], but every [gamer word] deserves to be [unhinged racist violence etc]"

and yeah terfs do it as well, as you mentioned

it's the exact kind of bigot mentality that intentionally fosters "pick me" behaviors in oppressed groups, in order to help silence any kind of resistance

it's a wild read but it's also very easy to see how she ended up how she did. like, the sort of of person who thinks of themselves as progressive but thinks about things in the way she did (at least in her telling of her past views) is exactly the sort of person who's going to have a weird spiral and get into conspiracy theories and reconvert to christianity even if i wouldn't have necessarily expected that to all be triggered by obsessing over the heat death of the universe

They're calling her "Subject Carver" so it's possible that they're referring to her with male pronouns, as if they think she's her dad.

unlikely, given the "true form" comment matching the "his true form!" lines from a few pages ago

also further unlikely, given that that would be an interesting deception, something tom hasn't been interested in trying to pull off for a while now

Sure, yeah, when he's drawing things he cares about, like this weird angel monstrosity. But you can look back one page for some really inconsistent off-model faces from Annie, including one of those terrible anime side view faces where the mouth and eyes look all wrong in panel 2.

oh yeah, no arguments here. the previous page was one of the worst in a while, for a whole variety of reasons (mostly the dialogue, for me)
