Yeah, my school (just an ordinary school, not one of those fancy expensive boarding schools or anything) had us divided into four houses named after Scottish castles. There wasn't any points-scoring competition like in Harry Potter though, it was just for organising classes.

I don't understand this strip at all. "What was all this?" "You did all this just to get me back" All what? Jack's talking like he's just been the victim of some big organised thing, but all Annie did was turn him down when he showed an interest in her. I feel like I accidentally skipped a page or something.

Hasn't she already been detached from her body once before, when she used the blinker stone to look down in the gorge and got stuck there with Jeanne? I remember Jeanne holding the stone and the end of Annie's hair being all wound around it.

Cestrian posted:Such as, for instance, her dad performing surgery on her. Hmm, now that you say that... He had Donny and Annie send surgical scalpels up to his satellite. He called Annie, so he wanted her involved with the process. Now we have something going on that's being etherically represented as a bunch of pointy things coming down out of the sky and into her.

I'm going for choice 5, which is that this is just banter and they were doing poo poo like this the entire time she was there over the summer. Next page will be the two of them cracking up laughing and Ysengrin just shaking his head.

So when Ysengrin accused the court of planting the tick tock bird on the riverbank, maybe he genuinely didn't remember that he'd buried it there himself? Goddamn I'm going to have to reread this whole thing to see what else might have changed with this

A student posted:Jones was an ice queen until Jimmy Jims melted hear heart. Sadly, for someone with an ice elemental in their ancestry, having their heart melted is fatal. Next chapter will be a timeskip to Jones and Eglamore's daughter arriving at the court as a new student. Eglamore hasn't been seen in years. (Actually he's still around but nobody ever recognises him)

Cabbit posted:I might be mixing my Homestuck and Gunnerkrigg theories, but maybe she's literally an agent of the author stuck into the world to make sure everything proceeds as it should. That would fit the "not an existing mythology" criteria. I really hope not. It works in Homestuck because of the tone of the story, the fact that multiple universes are canonically a thing, and most importantly, because Hussie avoids putting his insert character anywhere near anything that's meant to be taken seriously. Here it would just be stupid.

Okay, when I first saw this new avatar I was on my phone with a browser that can't do animation, and I could only think "Goddammit I liked my old avatar" Now I can see it in its full glory, I'm not so upset anymore. Edit: YES

Kantesu posted:This, I think just boils down to "Annie is narrating, therefore Annie makes herself look more competent and better than she really is." This made me think of a page in one of the later chapters, where we find out Kat has had an overinflated idea of Annie's knowledge of robotics the whole time because of how she built Robot in the first year, and Annie has to shamefacedly admit that she doesn't know the first thing about making robots, she found all the parts in a box and they just snapped together like she was building something out of lego.

I always assumed the "time stood still" bit was literal, but that's probably because I spent my childhood reading Discworld and the idea of a psychopomp being able to step outside of the flow of time whenever they want to seems like a natural assumption now

Clearly the letter is from Kat's old boyfriend. It's hard to write without hands, but with a computer he can at least use the hunt-and-peck method.

You really have to be careful about interpreting what Coyote says, huh? "You cannot be sure that will happen" is not the same as "I'm sure that won't happen."

Dogdoo 8 posted:I think there's a chance there's at least some international clientele. Annie learned Polish and met Muut at Good Hope. There's a pretty sizable Polish population in the UK. Also any university town will have quite a mix of nationalities. About the homework copying: I remember her doing it that one time, but has there been anything to show that she's done it a lot? I see people here talking about Annie ignoring her schoolwork for years and I'm not sure where that impression's coming from.

Oh shiiiit. So Ysengrin is aware his memory is full of holes, but doesn't know why. That means every time Coyote does this to him, he has a sudden moment of horrified realisation and is all "Noooooo", and then it's done and he's back to not knowing what's wrong with himself. And I thought that page couldn't give me the heeby-jeebys worse than it already did.

What is going on in those first two panels? At first I read it as her coming out of the ether back into the real world, but she wasn't in ethereal mode in the last strip. There's just a weird unexplained glow in the last panel, and the first panel of today's.

AE-35 Unit posted:I think he's smiling at both the new possibilities being fire buffed offers him and that Annie has shown more strength in his eyes. It's almost as if he planned this from the start! Maybe not in this exact fashion but to force her to do something. Yeah, pretty sure this was Annie's crash course in forest diplomacy, and that last panel grin means she just passed the test.

That, or she'd figured out what Kat was stressing about, and was just teasing her by playing dumb before giving her a kiss out of nowhere and running off. She is starting to seem like the mischievous type. Look at that face as she was leaving!

I predict that any opposition that does appear will be from characters within the court, while people from the forest will struggle to understand how it's even an issue. I'm sure those "Nature doesn't have the gay!" people will love that

Yeah, that might be true for a dictionary definition of "normal", but it's a loaded word and a lot of people take "not normal" to mean "bad". Both people who don't like what's different to themselves, and people who are "different" and worry about not being accepted.
