Additionally, the teacher implied that Red and her could hang out now. That seems to indicate that she has a name as well. Which means naming isn't something other faeries can do.

I don't remember who said it a while ago but I think we're due for a big emotional gut-punch next chapter. Place your bets, people.

Yeah, this chapter was entirely too light-hearted for something terrible and gutwrenching to not happen in the next one. Red gets a name... then dies in a horrible laser-cow related tragedy.

Particularly severe cases have resulted in slightly overweight ex-fae living in the suburbs, trapped in loveless marriages, unable to perform the "I've detached my thumb" magic trick which isn't even magical at all.

See, the thing is that all of the dramatic moments that have happened so far have been revelations about the past. When something dramatic happens in the present, it's going to have ten times the gravity, and it's going to be rough.

Well, considering the best case scenario is that she finally finishes dying without anybody else getting maimed in the process, it was never gonna be much of a laugh riot. Unless some faeries tag along.

So I guess fairies can't name themselves or their peers; it has to be the other students/faculty at the campus. And it seems that those odd little stars and such are still floating around Annie's head. Wonder what those are. e: man the art shift is just weird after experiencing a whole chapter of ether

What is that object above Jones' head in the fourth panel? I remember seeing symbols/objects like that before, like when Annie was on her way to meet the forest people with Ysengrin before she stayed there the summer. Probably in some other instances too.

I think it might just be the faeries are still following Annie around in the ether, trying to get a name. They 'disappear' after she leaves the classroom, after all.

Ogee has a name. I wonder if they have names while alive as fairies and lose them when they get killed and turn human.

So, were Red and Blue still faffing about in the ether? They seemed comparatively emotive this time, and Red is usually a huge jerk in general.

I kinda got the feeling that Blue is just so pissed about everything that just happened her face is reflecting it. Like how Red's body was surprised about Annie farting around with her laptop: http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=989 I assumed Red popped out to wave goodbye since Annie did her a solid and all. Or they're good enough at multitasking to do things like that while still having an etherbrawl.

I'm going to laugh if Anthony showing up is treated as a total non-event. Just "Hey, Annie, sorry for not being here" "'Sokay dad." I realize that's not going to happen, but it'd be hilarious if it did.
