Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
There's coin flip odds of Loup staying alive, and better-than-even that Ysengrin will come out alive too.
Coyote has a 120% chance of coming back, and that doesn't even make sense!An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
The chapter 69 retrospective video is up. That was the first chapter of volume 8, which AFAIK makes it the first retrospective for a chapter while the online pages for the same book are still running.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Today's comic:
Annie(s) dropping everything and running to help Kat once she finally gets an inkling of just how bad things have gotten is both very in-character for her and representative of a lot of personal growth, I think.
Maybe this big discussion won't be as much of a blowout as I feared. Could always still go down that road, though.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Ah so this is finally something that is too far for her world view^^
Anyway I honestly like the two Annie combo. Now I feel like reading a book where somebody teams up with their alternate self.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
I also like the two Annie team. It would be sad, if and when, we go back to having only one Antimony.
Also, the Arbiter/translator said neither of the current Annies belong there. Is there a third one, and if she does materialize, would the new contract with Renard apply to her?
All numbers are grammatically correct

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Interesting development.
Maybe two Annies is the straw that broke Kat's back. She's been pretty chill about a lot of the crazy goings-on in the Court, and it's implied that she and Annie have experienced more off-panel.
I think if it it were anything or anyone else, she'd write it off as something she can't explain yet. But Annie was for a long time her only friend. Not being able to explain it or fix it is probably killing her.Awesome OOTS-style Fallout New Vegas avatar by Ceika. Or it was, before Photobucket started charging money.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Zimmy was right, Kat's gears are grinding themselves down to powder trying to deal with two Annies. It will be interesting to see how she tries to fix or deal with this.

Does Kat still think one of the Annies is fake?

I guess it's "anime-style character explains their own character conflict" time.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
So...
Several years ago I recall reading some speculation on a forum (either this one or the Gunnerkrigg forum) that the Tiktoks (which seem like technology but which the Court robotics experts don't know the origins of) will be created in the future by Kat, and then sent back in time to save Annie when she fell off the bridge.
I didn't think much of that speculation at the time, but it seems more relevant now with the latest page.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
The point is that the AA in AA batteries stands for Annie Annie.
Not sure how it ties into the rest of the plot yet...

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Simple my dear Kornaki, Kat will be using the two Annie's as power source for some gigantic bird robot and take over the world! That is the fate of all mad scientists! (You know I am really unsure what the world in the comic outside Court and Forest is like, just our normal world?)

Kat may end up as a sort of super-villain if she gets carried away.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Okay, crackpot theory time. When that strange thing said that Neither Annie should be there, it wasn't referring to there being a third Annie somewhere. It meant hat the really Annie (should have) died a long time ago when she fell off that bridge, but then kat messed with the time-line to rescue her creating the first instance of time-line split Annie.

It's starting to look like the thread title pun may have been a little more accurate than I had intended!

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
I suppose Kat's "bird phase" never really ended, huh?
I'm glad that Tom finally addressed the mystery of the Tic-tocs, though time travel is one of those things that always gets me a little worried.
If Kat sent the birds back in time to save Annie, and the robots perceive them as being far older things, does that mean Kat can see all the way back in time?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
So she's assuaged her misgiving about making the tick-tock with the knowledge that it would be impossible to send it back in time, but here comes another impossible thing right out in the open.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
I don't think Kat will invent time travel. Not really. Remember when Coyote gave that explanation about how human belief made it so he had always existed? I bet that's what will happen with the birds, only with robots' belief.
Many thanks to Assassin 89 for this avatar!
