Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
Given that they make bodies all the time for the people from the Forest, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Arthur came out looking like that, but I'm surprised he came out looking like that. I was expecting something much more:

Kat took a LOT of input from Juliette is my opinion...I mean, if you gotta do it, you might as well put in all of the features, right?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
I wonder if the downside of this all is that Arthur does not have pain tolerance. So he'll stub his toe and bawl like a baby.
That's going to give this development a dark turn.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
Chapter 55's retrospective is up, and it is a massive 11 minute retrospective as befits this most massive and intriguing of chapters.

That probably won’t happen, but it would be pretty funny.Last edited by Giggling Ghast; 2019-06-24 at 02:23 AM.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
So his speech bubbles are round, but the tails are angular instead of curved. I wonder what type of voice that's supposed to signify. I'm imagining something very uncanny valley.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
Here's hoping there's a manual they give people from the forest, since their bodies could function in all sorts of different ways than a human's. Here's also hoping that, unlike the way things work for the kind of humans who get born into it and spend years mastering things like not needing diapers, reading the manual is a good substitute for lots and lots of practice.
So, I'm not going to think about how much work goes into learning not to bite your tongue when you start on solids or anything else like that. Arthur's going to take to that like a duck to water, and I am not going to ask any awkward questions about it.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
It's interesting that in most works, people try to free themselves from the limits of flesh by becoming a machine. Here we have the opposite storyline.

I think less people would try to free themselves from the limits of the flesh if they have a fleshy, attractive, girlfriend.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
There's even a character in a Zelazny story who slowly replaces bits of himself with machinery until he's a robot with an ornamental leather ring made from the last of his human skin - then has his human body cloned and transfers consciousness back into it to start the same cycle anew.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
The chapter 56 retrospective video jives well with the current chapter. I wonder if the reason he seemed to be rushing through lots of videos recently was to get to the chapter 56 one while the Arthur's-new-body arc is ongoing.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
Yea, probably. IMO, the videos with both of them are also more enjoyable than the ones he did on his own, so I am glad that they switched formats.

Also, it appears that the Annies have swapped the necklace again. Maybe they’re trading it back and forth weekly or something.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
I wonder if the Annies can communicate through Reynard, since he is a familiar to both of them. Essentially the middle man of their communication.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
The chapter 59 retrospective video is up. That was an important chapter for me, because I caught up just as it was ending: the first new pages that came out after I finished reading the archives was the book 6 treatise. For the chapter 61 video, I wonder if he will explain why we didn't see Annie get a final record from Jeanne.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
My guess: Weird space warping and the monster is one of the other group who is now gigantic in comparison. Or now on second look they seem to be in the same environment so probably not.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
I like the idea. That's why one of them said they didn't think they had made any progress.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
The chapter 60 video didn't answer the biggest question I had about that chapter: did Annie somehow extract a Final Record from Jeanne without us seeing, or did she forget/just wasn't able to get a final record?

So the other two 'monsters' peering in at Parley are Annie and Eglamore stepping into the cave/ruins.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance
The plot thickens!
No idea what is going on ... I guess the majority of background characters can be assumed to be actually wisps, but who is Green Girl?
