Well now, people who were saying Jack was creepy on the last page what do you have to say for yourselves?

Yeah, Jack's being pretty mature. But then again he's always been a fairly decent fellow when he's not being mind-controlled by an etheric spider. Still has terrible facial hair. And polo shirts.

I still don't trust him, he's a bit to casual to the girl who loves him.

Yeah, everyone knows the way to show you're a cool and well adjusted dude in high school is tell every acquaintance you run into how much you and your girlfriend love each other and how it's totally serious for real.

I've known people like this. Had to do a suicide watch when they (inevitably) got dumped.

Annie's reaction to all of that makes me wonder if she really was holding a candle for Jack this whole time and not just plotting really petty revenge.

Also, she asked him for a kiss and he rejected her. Now he's saying this girl asked him out, so what's he to do. Could make a girl feel odd, that.

Said rejection coming not too long after her scheme to get to reject him first.

technically she didn't ask him for a kiss, she asked him if he wanted a kiss. Hard to be less subtle than that, of course, but it's still less direct then "I want to make kisses with you y/n"

I think there's a lot of complicated barely understood emotions combined with social pressure in the jack/annie dynamic. In terms of social pressure, I don't mean like finn picking them up and saying now kiss but like I think Jack mentions something about how kissing annie seemed like 'what he was supposed to do' but in the end he was relieved that she didn't go through with it and the way that annie during aitf is asked about a potential love and picks jack basically for no other reason than she can't think of anyone else who matches that definition, like he's an obvious choice for first kiss. Which doesn't mean that she doesn't actually want to kiss him but it does muddy the waters a bit, along with the other things that muddy the waters like the way she seems to both like and dislike him at the same time. It's not just that the reader doesn't know how much she does or doesn't want to kiss him, I suspect it's that Annie doesn't know the answer to that one either.

All this mushy romance stuff hurts my little introverted brain. Someone please get back to the magic, technology, and magic technology. That would be great, thanks.

I'm starting to suspect Tom dressed Jack like a douche specifically so we would all instinctively think the worst of him, only to be surprised by how mature and adult he's been.

This reminds me...the cut on Annie's face. The other night I was thinking about it, and remembered the comment by one of the guides of the dead asking Annie if she ever wondered what drew her so to Jeanne. She immediately changed the subject. Coyote asked her directly about it, even going so far as whacking her on it, and she seemed incapable of thinking about it. Zimmy tore one off her face at another point, saying "it doesn't belong to her, not mine not mine!". Given she was marked by Jeanne originally, is it possible that this functioning as a bind, but also a plea for help from the part of Jeanne that isn't total rage ghost and who wishes to enter the ether? Of course I was half asleep when I started wondering all of this but still.

Achewood is referenced in so many good modern webcomics, it's clearly had a huge influence on webcomics iin general. I've meant to check it out (even if only as a sort of historical curio) but I've never been able to get a handle on its archives.
