Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 4: Friends in Need
Actually bobby's reaction was understandable given that Kat's comments were not clear. She asked if he wrote the letter, and he did. She was also not really clear that her rejection was directed to him personally. She was talking to Bobby like a normal person, but he's a robot who takes statements too literally and doesn't read between the lines to get at their meaning... its basically word play to mess with the readers heads.

Actually, Annie moved in with Kat here, in Changes. Note the foreshadowing in panel 6.

Maybe Pae was interested in boys, but bisexuals exist, you know. *shrugs*

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 4: Friends in Need
Even if Paz is not bisexual, it is possible for someone who is gay to "act" attracted to someone of a different sex, especially during early puberty, because that's what society raises people to think is "the right way". Sure, some people just know from an early age, but a lot of others date people not of their own sex before coming to a realization.
((And then there is the Kinsey scale and the Klein Grid, which suggest that an overwhelming majority of people are really bisexuals-in-denial to some degree, but that's neither here nor there.))I use black for sarcasm.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 4: Friends in Need
Kat's being articulate here. "You... but... I... huh?", and being paralyzed with shock.
Come to think of it, that IS pretty expressive...

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 4: Friends in Need
Actually, I had this weird mental image of a penny dropping veeeery slowly in Kat's head as Paz says "I know you and Annie are just friends!", and her going "...but I want to be more than that".
I would prefer Hyland and Antimony to end up together, but I can't bring myself to care that much about Antimony's romantic life, so...Last edited by The Rose Dragon; 2013-05-24 at 08:20 AM.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 4: Friends in Need
She actually goes "You... but... I... huh!" with an exclamation mark, not a question mark. "Huh!" sounds a little like "Would you look at that!" - less helpless confusion, more earnest surprise. Maybe she's reviewing a couple of memories in her head at this moment that now take on different meaning. Has Paz acted strange before? Did something about the letter seem off to her after the fact? The evidence linking it to a robot was pretty strong (I'm guessing she suspected it the moment she saw the paper it was printed on) so she might never have truly entertained the possibility it was from an actual human while she read it.
Anyway, I think Kat basically gets it now, or at least is pretty close to getting it. She said "Huh!", not "Huh?", after all. She is still pretty paralyzed - her hand still stuck in the same position it was for the rest of the page in the very last panel, and Paz has been rambling for a while. So, I don't know. "Huh!" could serve the same purpose a "Huh?" would have served, or not.
We'll know when the blasted thing updatesThis signature is boring. The stuff I write might not be. Warning: Ponies.

Well, I guess Gunnerkrigg Court has a lot of mythical creatures in it. That was a joke.

Awwwwww.
So has Kat decided which way the gate swings, or if it swings both ways, or is she still experimenting?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 4: Friends in Need
The shippers aren't nearly as annoying as the people who adamantly deny that Kat could possibly be gay even in the face of agreeing to a date with a girl. "Oh, she must just have agreed because she doesn't want to hurt Paz! Oh I disagree with you Marnath, that big list of examples of times when Kat has reacted to implications that she might be into girls clearly shows her behaving as any good normal hetero girl would to stick up for her friend!"
Blah.
Reposting my list of references here since it was so much work.

What about you guys? Anyone on this board care to argue with me that Kat "suddenly being gay/bisexual" comes totally out of the blue and there are no hints at her orientation in all of the comic's history(even though I just linked them?)Witty sig here nosey, aren't ya?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 4: Friends in Need
The first two I don't think are really valid examples. The other three, on the other hand, specifically address the issue.
EDIT: I'm not sure why people even claim Kat isn't gay. It is pretty obvious to me that she is into birds.Last edited by The Rose Dragon; 2013-05-28 at 02:15 AM.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 4: Friends in Need
OK, there are parts of fandom which are good deal more annoying than shippers. This was a good demonstration of that, albeit very much not in the way intended.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 4: Friends in Need
Probably not. Keep in mind all the differences in dynamics and personalities. Jeanne was in love with Mr. Green Elf (someday - I predict SOMEDAY - we are going to learn his name!), not Diego. Who was obsessed with her. All of which led to tragedy. None of that is in place with Kat and Paz. It's not even like Zimmy and Gamma, bound together by need as much as affection. It's more like Donald and Anja. Two different personalities drawn together because they enjoy each other's company. We'll have to see how they work out.
