I have issues with this chapter. All of the kids duck the school security system so they can sit around discussing their changing bodies and have relationship drama? That is bull pucky. Tea-san is usually better at integrating stuff like that into the narrative. Are Matt and Paz ever going to be that important? Winbury got a girlfriend in the background without wrenching out a 6 comic storyline.

Micgael posted:The kids all just came back from break and are catching up. I guess I don't see why its weird. You never snuck out of the house to hang out with your friends and do nothing? Does it really have to be so clandestine? School isn't 15 hours a day. They're involving decoy tracker bugs and herds of robots to hang out in a lounge. They're not even getting drunk or taking ecstasy like respectable British school children.

McGravin posted:Were you never a teenager? It doesn't matter if all you were doing was blowing your nose, anything was automatically 10x cooler if the grown-ups didn't know you were doing it. Hanging out past curfew to just chill and talk is quintessentially teenaged. I guess I didn't do a lot of rebelling when I was young. I just told my parents where I was going, called them if I was staying out super late and left out all the illicit poo poo I did. There have been story arcs like this before where the children sneak out but it was never for contrived relationship drama.

CyRaptor posted:Not to mention that this chapter's ultimate purpose seems to be establishing some sort of relationship between Annie and Jack, which I'm sure will become significant in the future, and more importantly the chapter isn't even over with yet. Thats part of the problem. Jack has been nothing but critical of Annie and Annie is emotionally distant and suspicious of him. Now Jack is like Walter Raleigh's more chivalrous cousin and Annie is flirting with him because he is the last unpaired male of the species in the room. That is like bad fanfic writing e.g. Matt crashing into Chang'e making her drop all of her cliches on the floor.

dumb brunette posted:Yeah, I don't know what Gunnerkrigg you've been reading, but calling it bad fanfic writing is ridiculously unfair. Matt bumped into Chang'e for the same reason John and Margo just happened to find the haunted mandolin: Because Gunnerkrigg is a place where weird poo poo happens all the time. Crashing into each other and falling in love is a lame plot device used by animes and sitcoms. I don't mind him meeting Chang'e thats what gunnerkrigg is about.
