TRP Post of the Month October 2021

Raposa posted:

As others have said, she's just wearing her school uniform from that scene from way back, when Annie first broke her emotionless mask and wept for her mum. Red stuff is cherry juices, cause they were eating cherries in that cherry tree they're under. Dirty clothes from climbing and falling said tree.

Ah, I guess I was just seeing parallels in that Zimmy also wears a school uniform sans sweater vest, combined with the fact that in Zimmy dreams sometimes people (including Zimmy) aren't who they appear to be, also combined with the fact that clothes disappearing/appearing seems to always be related to Zimmy dreams.

"You caught us red-handed" it's one of my favorite moments in the entire comic. I'm glad to see it's one of her happier memories.

Tea-san please switch to as many updates as you can handle whilst still providing us with the amazing quality that has been exhibited so far and also are able to keep yourself physically and psychologically provided for for at least long enough to conclude the comic.

So three will do fine.

The art in this chapter is jaw-dropping. I'd attribute it to his working on the comic full-time but knowing how big his buffer is these were probably drawn before he made the jump. I sort of can't believe there's a webcomic this good.

I wonder if we'll get a version of the scene with Reynard where Annie runs off to the forest crying, and instead of taking off the mask it cracks or something.

So the mask represents Annie repressing her emotions. When she was at the fruit tree with Kat was really the first time we saw her really express her feelings. When she went to the forest she also stopped repressing her emotions, she'd just blown up at Reynard, then she continued letting out her emotions when she stayed in the forest. Why Jones gave her the mask I'm not sure. Maybe her time with Jones has helped her recognise that when she has her emotional mask on she's more like Jones the (not a) robot than she is like normal people. Or something.

Doubt it that's complicated. Jones is the stand-in for emotional control because she's the most under control person Annie knows.

So, um. Looks like flashback Kat still has headpigeons.

Does that mean that present-day Kat has found her way into the dream, or will we be getting a look into past Kat's thoughts, I wonder?

poo poo, you're right. Unless your first guess is correct, that pretty much torpedoes my "headpigeon is City Face's way of saying 'thank you'" idea.

Actually, wouldn't it have to be? Zimmy and Kat have encountered each other since the tree, certainly... have they met since Kat rescued 'Face, though?

It is the pigeon that Kat found in the Bad Start chapter.
So it looks like it's the same pigeon, if only in a metaphorical sense.

I don't think she sees her father as emotionally controlled so much as emotionally distant, and even then only from her. A big part of her world-view is how he invested himself in her mother, even if it led to him shunning her when she died.

Fake edit: Has anyone noticed that Tom gets the gently caress out of this thread whenever we start talking heavy speculation? I think he can't resist the urge to let us know what's going on so he steers clear for a few weeks until the chapter ends.

GK is one of the best webcomics out there. The last chapter was one of my favorites, and the current chapter is all about Zimmy - how awesome is that!?

Thanks for making GK, Tom! It must be a lot of work, but the finished product is worth it.

So it looks like the mask is just whatever Antimony is "hiding" from people/ around people. She has a tendency to "wear the mask" and hide herself, after all.

She doesn't wear the mask around Kat, but she still has some secrets from her, obviously. Minor ones in the grand scheme, but still secrets.

She doesn't. Annie's been lying about it.
