Dodgeball posted:\ The page after that has what is probably my favorite panel, where she's giving Annie/Kat the finger. My second favorite panel? The one where Coyote says "Hey Antelope! Nice FACE you have! FOR A GIANT IDIOT I MEAN AHAHAHAHAHAHA I AM SO SMART!"

The 19th Person posted:So, according to Jones, Smitty's power isn't to "create order". It's to "distort probability". Jones also referred to teleportation as 'distorting space'. Perhaps she just likes the word 'distort' and makes excuses to use it in conversation.

An (effectively) orphaned tween having abandonment issues and lashing out? This definitely means she's a bad person.

I think this chapter is about how Annie's gone from being a pre-teen to a proper teenager over the course of the comic. She started in what, year 6? And it's year 8 now. Two years is a pretty long time at that age. Annie's discovered a boy and been incredibly awkward around him, and now she's owned the poo poo out of one of her friends over a perceived slight. She'll probably regret it later, but did it anyway because the parts of her brain that control empathy and judgment are awash in adolescence chemicals. Kat had a crush on Alistair and has been "kind of a butt" over Teen Angst recently; it makes sense that Annie would be a bit of a late bloomer. I mean, this chapter has her straight up tell Reynard  YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD so it seems a pretty clear interpretation of what's going on.Welcome to Puberty, Population: Lonely

"After all, how can you be human when you're..... .... THE BIRTHDAY GIRL?!" Coyote blows cheerfully on a noisemaker. It's the most involved birthday prank the Court has ever seen

The 19th Person posted:I wonder how/if humans being represented by an eye symbol and Jones's title "Wandering Eye" are connected. She's one of Coyote's eyes that he dropped while juggling that decided to go off and be a blonde lady such things happen

hairysammoth posted:One question - Tom's joking here, right? He doesn't really believe that UK state schools have fruity "10 points from Griffindor" set-ups does he? I mean, a tiny handful of comps* and grammars* do, and most public** schools do, but the average state school sure as hell doesn't. I mean, I went to what is basically the real-life version of Hogwarts (but with aggravated buggery in place of magic), and even I know this poo poo. Tom has said that the houses in Gunnerkrigg are named after the ones in the school he went to, I believe. DontMockMySmock posted:This page makes Robox seem like a sociopath. He's still awesome, though. He can't help, he has no arms

DontMockMySmock posted:Well, then I'm still confused why Jack's last comment seems to have elicited such an angry look from Annie. Because he just owned the poo poo out of her instead of getting owned as was her plan She kicked over his sandcastle but he yanked her pigtails in retaliation. Child emotions are a tough racket

the secret to this chapter is that she actually does like him edit: This is really cool tbqh, almost any other comic would have had one of them somewhat awkwardly ask the other out, instead we get them kinda wobbling towards that at first and then mutually completely loving it up because they're kids and they don't know what they're doing They might still do before this chapter's over though v  v

MoonwalkInvincible posted:Seeing as Mary-sue-ism also implies that it's an author self-insert of some sort (or at least used to before it lost all meaning)... I don't think it ever really meant anything (other than 'girl character I dislike', if that?). I read an essay about this awhile ago and I'm paraphrasing: You're reading a story and there's this girl, right? Tragically orphaned, but her parents left her enough money to make her richer than God. Genius intellect who easily masters a dozen fields, Olympian physique, incredible good looks. Every guy she meets falls in love with her, but she pushes them away because she's consumed by angst. Everyone fears and respects her, and even her enemies are obsessed with her. Whatta freakin' Mary Sue, right? Except, whoops, that's Batman. Or there's this lady in the far future. Incredibly charismatic leader, devastatingly attractive to the opposite sex, famous throughout the galaxy as the captain of the finest spaceship in the fleet. It seems like every week she's saving a planet from tyranny and bedding all the cute alien boys while she keeps her cool behind a cocky grin. Yet nobody calls Kirk a Mary Sue. A shitload of popular characters fit the same wish-fulfillment mold, but rarely if ever get handed the dreaded 'Mary Sue' label. Basically if someone calls a character a 'Mary Sue' you should read it as 'I have difficulty precisely articulating what I dislike about this character'.

If there's a version of Jones that mimics friendship from a desire to observe humanity and a set of ethics about how to treat humans, and a version of Jones that believes she is doing that but in fact is "genuinely" making friends, and a version of Jones that is genuinely making friends, and knows it, but chooses to claim inability to form emotional attachments for her own reasons, and all three otherwise act the exact same way in all circumstances, is there a difference between them assuming that it is impossible for anyone else to know what they're thinking? Which version of Jones are Annie or Eglamore best off assuming is the real one?

Smitface can subconsciously create order where there was none. The Headmaster is sending him to embed himself in the forest like the Tic-Toc bird Ysengrin buried. Because he is a jerk

Warmachine posted:I recall that the Triestise had clues to the progression of the story hidden in them, so upon getting the Friday cliffhanger and seeing parallels to my own life, I decided to consult said Triestise to divine any direction the comic will go in. That sigil resembles the anti-eye sigils used to bind Reynardine for a reason- she'd been artificially restricting her feelings. Remember that when the eye sigils appear in the story, it's because they're very shortly going to be broken!

"Gunnerkrigg" is actually one of those weird UK place names, it's pronounced "Gehrig" and this is all a complete coincidence
