I'm guessing next chapter(s) we won't get Parley/Smitty/Kat going "yeah wow you were kind of garbage and we couldn't say no" and more along the lines of not REALLY realizing the danger they were in until Smitty had a knife in his chest. Parley & Smits in particular will probably mirror this entire exchange since red/parley basically saw ayilu/smitty die due to this, but go in a different direction with it (still their decision, smit lucking away the dagger from parley, they're almost adults, or whatever other direction suits your fancy). gotta keep it civil just for future medium interactions, anyway

Begemot posted:Also, Parley is the one who said "it's time". Painting Annie as some monster manipulating her friends completely ignores the part where she shared the inciting vision with Parley in the first place. Yeah Coward Heart ended with Parley & Smitty both agreeing to help almost instantly after being told what was up. Annie may have gotten overeager/obsessed once The Plan went into motion (which: fair to bring up & discuss) and the entire Aiylu thing definitely didn't have her think things through (again: fair), but like half of the crew was for 100% it. Wouldn't be too surprised if Parley was going through similar thoughts as Annie at this point. Maybe more so since Smits took a knife to the chest for her and all. Maybe that will be next chapter with an intermission from "dying is Good, Actually" robot

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Well, just off the top of my head: we still don't know what Zimmy and Gamma's deal is, or what Kat being a giant robot God in the either means. We don't know what will happen if Kat succeeds in turning robot into a more organic being, and we still don't really know what the court wants or what it's trying to do. We still haven't seen what the Psychopomps want with Annie, or why her being born caused her mother to die. zimmy/gamma feels like something that wont necessarily have an answer in the same way we won't have a total beat by beat breakdown of why fire elementals die post-child. It's just something that happens. It was even known about by multiple people judging by Renard's "we all knew [surma dying] would happen" comment after that truth bomb dropped.

since the entire court is more in other annie's favor it'd be nice (& funny!) if rey was the only one on "our" annie's side. if only because we'd probably get a panel of them hugging and then our annie makes this face at their annie https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2075

I figured the "her" was both annies Annie 1 has to deal with Annie 2 Annie 2 has to deal with Annie 1 Every character has to deal wih there now being a second Annie, in general, and that will probably vary character to character on if there's a problem with either annie in particular.

While doing a slight reread of my own, I wonder if this stuff in particular will come up again since the arrow is relevant: https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1833 specifically the arrow being built like one of diego's golems, the similarities to court robots by extension and the weird device that we haven't seen since but I bet is probably being used in kat's computer anyway. dadcula also mentions that the arrow really messed up "other departments" in addition to ROTD & I assume separate from the psychopomps, which I assume includes our arbiter & interpreter. So maybe we'll get an idea of just how much damage this arrow did to the various ether connected realms? also fun https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1834

ConfusedUs posted:I didn't think this whole thing was a con until this very page. I know some of you guys called it way back when little ghost dude first appeared, but it looked like more RotD-style dumb bureaucracy than something nefarious. Dr Subterfuge posted:Hmm, so I imagine Kat is now responsible for securing afterlife guide services for any new sentient beings she creates, which is naturally going to end up being Annie. Or at least, it would be her by default, but Kat might have something to say about that since Annie probably doesn't actually want the job. ...this Or some other god-adjacent type thing that she'll be forced to take responsibility for, wont be able to renegotiate fully like she did her & probably have the risk of something happening to any robot she elevates if she doesn't follow through. The twist is less "crooked deal" and more "oh this is way more important than I thought"

Regy Rusty posted:Red is right about how Annie treated the fairies but she then also projects her feelings into the other members of the group. As Kat points out in the next chapter they all agreed to do it because they wanted to and Red doesn't get to strip them of their agency. Yeah I think Tom even mentions that a few times in the video, that Red has actual legitimate grievances but is projecting them onto everyone. I hope the next one, where kat stands up for their decisions, decides to have a side bar where they show pages like this to compliment what she's saying:   Because even if Annie got laser focused as things came to a head and hoped that any danger could be undone by psychopomps, the rest of the group still got into this on their own for the past couple of years and more than knew the risks. Also kinda hope there's a side comic later down the line of Smitty & Parley dealing with the immediate fall out. I can see why it wouldn't get focus in the comic proper but I'm sure how that whole thing shook out would be, ahhhh, something to talk about between the two of them

Warmachine posted:That actually sounds like one of the most plausible numbers to come out of this. If neither are native to this timeline, and both were brought here by Loup, then it's entirely possible (and in fact probable) that this timeline's Annie had some different lived experiences. I'll admit I assumed, after the reveal, that neither annie was really "our" annie but also everything up to the Shift was 100% the same for that annie So neither annie is "our" annie, who is stuck in the forest, with the trick being the annie we followed for Loup's conversation (well, theoretically Annie Prime could've seen at least part of that conversation depending when the second shift was decided on) wasn't the annie that we originally followed into the forest. Side note but if Kat's about to mess around with time that probably means we get to see the "temporal division" time cops and man that's going to be a hoot  now to take a big sip from my "Chapter 74 would never reveal that each annie had their own subtle differences that wouldn't come up in normal conversation" mug

I don't think it's kat putting every burden on her shoulders, like the robots situation and so on, but specifically the reveal that neither Annie is supposed to be here. Paz says outright that Kat was getting better about the 2 annie situation but then, specifically within the past few weeks, she's gotten much worse Which would probably line up exactly with the big reveal that Kat was visibly not happy with at all

So my read is I'm actually almost more worried about Paz. Yeah there's no universe where this goes well for Paz. Even if she gets the annies to back off and try severing their ties, the moment Kat finds out its going to explode. This isn't Red who barely interactes with Annie getting her owns in and walking off with her gf into the sunset. So look forward to part 2 of Teens Arguing: relationship edition

Ditocoaf posted:Paz still hasn't managed to say what exactly she thinks Annie should have been doing differently. It's possible she has a better point to make and just hasn't gotten it out. But so far it seems like she's just frustrated with Kat being in a bad place, and is looking for somewhere to direct that. Considering her end goal is "stop being friends" and brushing off Annies even talking to her I think it is just frustration, directing it somewhere and trying to shortcut to a solution that will "solve everything" because she's mad AND sad and no one is thinking straight in that condition even if there wasn't a literal state of emergency going on Captain Oblivious posted:Yeah Paz is kinda being a poo poo here. She's not wrong about Annie being kind of oblivious to her friend's mental state but nothing about Paz' methodology here helps like...at all. Do you think the two girls Paz brought along figured this would happen. I mean it is at night and I'm guessing Paz has been seeking out the annies so probably but they're pretty silent and blonde girl doesn't seem to want to be here any more than we, the reader, do. The bonus page will probably be them, thinking on it.
