I have the horrible feeling they are going to escape but parley will be horribly disfigured or something else really bad.

Nah, Jones is cool. Remember her antics with the flowers and the chocolate. And her watching movies with Doctor Disaster. She's good people.

I think it's being implied, especially from when Reynardine first met Annie and knew that Surma was dead, that this is some sort of hereditary thing, and Surma did the same thing to her mother (and so on).

I'm guessing it has something to do with this thing, and someone having to be a human vessel for it. I dunno, kind of a hunch. Sounds less retarded than phoenixes, which uh, you people sort of pulled out of nowhere.

Hey, 13 year old girl. Your great-great-great-great grandma was a fire elemental! Cool huh? Oh also you're directly responsible for your mother's death. Not saying it's your fault or anything! Just, y'know, wanted you to know.

I'm guessing they were holding off until she was 18 or something. That's not something you tell a child, or even a teenager.

Well, maybe "villain" is a strong word, but every story needs antagonists, and I'd say Coyote is acting like one of them right now!

He'd be a villain if he didn't tell her about the band.

Well, Tom answered that on Formspring.

I like that Annie has this petty and nasty side that comes out at times. Flaws like that makes her feel much more real and what Jack did to her and Reynadine was pretty damned lovely, so I can understand why she would hold a grudge, even if she knows it's irrational due to it not really being his fault and all.

By expending all my time and effort to find a solution to my daughter's situation, I am already demonstrating my love for her. Any further declarations would be redundant and a waste of time, of which we have precious little.

Anthony being somewhere on the autism spectrum might explain a few things.

I'm not sure if I suspect Jones or the Court.

This really seems like the obvious solution.

Thunt is a lot like Rob Liefeld in that he's a nice guy, he just makes unbelievably lovely poo poo. But I don't know, I find it hard to begrudge people who manage to make a living from their comics.

Something about today's update made me warm inside.

Good work, Tom.

So about a week ago I decided to do a little mini project to flex my drawing muscles a bit. I settled on Gunnerkrigg Court, because I love the comic, and I figured I could spread the word a bit. Here are the results:

Should she be more like Bill Clinton, or more like Hilary Clinton. The question all girls have to ask themselves at some point.

In all honesty, that's the impression I've had of Annie in general for this third year. In the first year, she was an unflappable little girl in a spooky, goofy, mysterious old school. In the second year, she had to open up and show some emotion.

But ever since she flipped out on the bridge, we've been in the dark about Annie's real feelings. She was still cheating, and we didn't know. She pulled that whole stunt with Jack. First she was cold, then she was a forest wild child, then she had bones growing out of her heart.

Despite having followed Annie for the entire story, I feel like we know less about her now than any time in the past.

Well, hey, it could just turn out to be more of Jones kicking mad rear end rather than anything expositionary.

Tollymain posted:

I think that "what's left of them" simply means that people in the afterlives either end up wearing down or transcending into forms that are no longer recognizable as human souls and are then absorbed back into the aether. A little bit of cosmic horror for some there, I reckon.

Avatar fairy, you are the second greatest fairy of them all.

I thought I remembered somebody once coming into this thread and explaining that in a myth Coyote once "lost an eye" that went wandering off into the sky or something. That would possibly fit Jones, especially with the "stolen name" angle.
