I'm thinking the heart has something to do with the mysterious Seed Bismuth that's been thrown around in the comic before, including just a couple of pages ago. I'm also thinking this idea of buildings that grow might have something do with why the court is so absurdly enormous beyond all practical use. What if they found a way to grow buildings like they were organic but it just never stopped? MikeJF fucked around with this message at 03:00 on May 17, 2011 |

Well, there is something mechanical that can grow, but I don't think it's been shown what it is. All we know is it's connected to the mystery birds, and those aren't (known) Court tech. Kat will probably figure something out about them, based on the hints that she's attracted to how birds work and she and Annie have a habit of poking around where they ought not to be.

I have a theory that the seed bismuth is a time machine that only goes one way. People stumble upon it in the future and travel back, adding their advanced tech to the pile, all in the courts attempt to become God or godlike. However, some events, like the splitting of the court and the wood are immutable, either because Coyote always ensures some things always happen the same way, or because the events are just fated. It also helps explain why so little is known about some of the founders, or why some of it is obfuscated: either they literally didn't exist in that time until they appeared, leaving them no history to record, or it was obfuscated so that people didn't realize that time travelers were involved in the court from the very beginning.

This is a photograph from the National Geographic website (complete page is here). It's just a picture of Central Park in New York city... but it does remind me of something, don't you agree? Goes to show how fantastic the real world can be.

That's pretty neat! The trick of lighting even makes it look like there's a deep canyon separating it.

Of course, Central Park itself is nothing more than carefully constructed artificial "nature"...

Oops! Well darn, now I don't know what to think. Related to that page, I wonder if Ysengrin makes it a habit to eat fairies or if he did it to help them pass their test. I remember him not thinking highly of the forest creatures that do the test.

McGravin posted:The bird could have grown after he buried it. As far as I recall: It was a bird when Ysengrim found it by the faires. It was a bird when Ysengrim presented it to the court many months later. There's no evidence that it ever grew from a smaller thing into a bigger thing at all except that he claims so, and yet he was already lying in the first place about other aspects of that story. So I don't see any reason to give that idea credence. quote:manimate Weirdly, I saw it this way too and it took me a while to decipher it. What's weird is there's another word starting with "in" in the same balloon that I read fine. (It's not that weird, yes I can see why they're different. But it's a little odd, anyway.)

Jones is a troll. Stone-skinned due to being out in daylight, extraordinarily heavy due to being stone-skinned, can't swim because she grew up in a hill cave and her impassivity is actually due to her being too dumb to understand a lot of what's going on. Plus, she makes a habit of deliberately angering people and the running joke as to what Jones is is designed to be kinda nose-tweaking, so she's a trolling troll who is a troll. Very meta, Siddell, but I am wise to your schemes.

nothings posted:As far as I recall: Well when he found it by the faeries he buried it rather than just took it then; I assumed he did so because he knew it would grow and wanted to incite an incident. Why else do it? I used to think Jones might be a golem before Coyote called her Wandering Eye; now I'm more partial to the idea that she might literally be an eye of Coyote that went off to have a life of its own.

Jones seems far too serious to have ever been a part of Coyote, and she certainly didn't act like he had the same kind of ownership over her that Annie has over Reynardine.

In hindsight, Kat's skepticism on magic and mysticism really is kind of silly. Her mom's a wizard, her best friend's guardian is a forest god, and her best friend is half magic monster and can fly and stuff.
