Gunnerkrigg Court

>Pretty regular.

Suffle?

Soufflé?

oh so that's what the chapter pic is?
threads of fate or some shit?

fuck, Smitty seems ridiculously OP for a side character

kind of gets me wondering what the true antagonist will be like

One thread for each time he's jacked it today

surely if they have something to do with Smitty's power then Annie would've noticed them one of the times she's been in the ether with him around?

so Smitty's powers confirmed to be connected to the ether or just SCIENCE!™?

dammit Tom this better not be sufficiently advanced science

First a bunch of fairies tie rainbow strings to you and then BAM, gay.

When have we ever seen that happen? I'll wait, I'm genuinely curious.

Shit we're gonna learn about how Smitty's power works now? Come to think of it I just kind of excepted it at face value without needing an explanation, but that's cool.
Well, within the story, members of the court, including Kat, try to treat magic as sufficiently advanced science.
But its not like it is unprecedented for Tom to explain how shit works. Its like with the way that gods and mythical monsters are created, or with blinker stones and utilizing the ether to do magic stuff, his world-building give the supernatural and fantastical elements some measure of structure and explanation beyond just saying its magic.

And unlike, say, EGShive, he does that without *regularly* devoting weeks of pages to dry, redundant dialogue describing the minutia of the magic system in exhaustive, autistic detail that nobody gives a fuck about. Broad strokes.

okay here goes nothing:

IF Smitty has super high charisma, that makes him sympathetic to pretty much every creature he encounters, then it could make him super sympathetic to the ether itself as well. If the ether keeps things going in the world, it might work in favour of Smitty simply because it likes him so much.

On the other hand, if karma is involved, it might eventually burden his own karma with so much goodwill from the world that it causes one big misfortune on him to even it out. But that's just a possible aspect of it, for which there is no clue in the story. But it might be a twist.

I remember the magic explanation bits being one of the first signs that EGS might be a little more involved than I wanted to get into.

That, and the ridiculous amounts of fetish shit without even a drop of actual smut.

>Kind of gets me wondering what the true antagonist will be like.
We've already met the story's villain a few times. He's not that much of a threat, from what we can tell.

You know, thinking about it, I can't recall any time Annie's been in the ether around him.

May be wrong mind, been a while since I read through everything again.

Might be. But the first thing I thought of when we saw the kids all standing around was the fact that we've seen Parley's shining heart, but we don't know what Smit looks like in the ether.
I imagine if Annie, uh, pulls him in? Things could get interesting.

Smitty yawns and a skyscraper collapses in Italy.

Annie is rude like that. you come from teh forest and you are a Suffle. You bet she still refer to paz as Paella when she's alone.

and they find a chest full of gold from his ancestors in the ruin.

Hahaha, no.

Coyote is the antagonist.

>He's literally pulling all the strings

The only time I think Annie ever explicitly went into the ether around him was when she was trapped by Jeanne, and she wasn't entering near him.

Maybe at the Forrest Medium inauguration party, but I don't remember him being seen.

Coyote does not give enough of a fuck to be the antagonist.

At this point, I think only the Court has purely Supervillain like tendencies, what with the Omega Device and all.

Assumedly, they're trying to ascend into Godhood via exploitation of the Ether, which is pretty standard villain behavior.

Coyote has evil parts about him, but I think that's to emphasize his nature as a god, as all gods aren't exactly moral exemplars.

I doubt that GC will go full capeshit, but who knows

>Holding the strings
Smitty being in full, conscious, control of reality confirmed.

He's not holding them though, they're just tied to him.

and then Annie decides to touche it, and kill 18 million people at the same time.

>More obese people on tumblr, crying about the 'fat-phobic' comments "Tom made" through his characters

Thankfully people are just ignoring it.

What fat phobic comments?

>Thankfully people are just ignoring it.
Then why aren't you?

Probably ones made by the imps in user's head that tell them to constantly bitch and moan about Tumblr instead of discussing comics.

>current year
>still acting as if the social justice threat isn't very real

Snuffle and Red talking all the time about how FAAAAAAAAT everyone is, I've little doubt

Idiot

>"Hey, maybe we should stop treating people like crap."
>threat
How old are you? News flash, jackass, society changes all the fucking time, and it's always a crazy rollercoaster of a process. Deal with it, or kill yourself, ya fuckin' crybaby.

A bunch of whiney suburbanites whining about trivial shit because their lives are too vapid and boring otherwise hardly constitutes a "threat".

And you can just fuck right off back to your tumblr echo box, where you can spout your vain pretenses of cultural relevance at kids who actually take that nonsense seriously.

I will stop treating it as a threat when sjws stop bullying my favorite webcomic author into near suicide over the most inane shit.

>my favorite webcomic author
Ohh, looks like he revealed too much of his hand that time! He's not gonna recover from that one!

>And you can just fuck right off back to your tumblr echo box, where you can spout your vain pretenses of cultural relevance at kids who actually take that nonsense seriously.
And you can fuck off to whatever MRA shithole you crawled out of where you can pretend that everything has to be about you.

Y'know what? I like Tom too, but he needs to grow a fucking spine. Dude gets suicdally depressed over comments on the Internet? Come on, Siddell. Life sucks, deal with it.

Most SJWs are like crazy street preachers. In most cases they're just ignored by passers-by and harmlessly rant.

What's dangerous about them is when they 'strike gold' in a certain community and get enough hick villagers together to form lynch mobs. Like what happened with the Ava's Demon fandom.

>to form lynch mobs
Who did they physically assault? Were there any arrests made?

>most
>what is a vocal minority
Every group/demographic/whatever has a few assholes who make a spectacle of themselves. Criminy.

>what is a metaphor

>what is a metaphor
So you're saying they didn't actually form a "lynch mob" and hang people? No one was actually physically hurt? So in other words, you're saying the only thing they did was say some words online? That can be easily ignored by clicking a button?

Oh yeah, the straight white race is in definite danger from this threat. Call the president guys, defcon 5, I'll start heading down to the bunker.

They stalk people, post whatever info they can find with criminal accusations and in some cases even get accounts locked with report spam.

It's alright saying "it's just words" and "grow a spine" when you're just some user with nothing to lose. Tom almost offed himself because he felt he had ruined his career in one night and people everywhere were being told he's a bigot.

>Oh yeah, the straight white race is in definite danger from this threat.
Apparently so.

>Tom almost offed himself because he felt he had ruined his career in one night and people everywhere were being told he's a bigot.
That's Tom's problem, it's not our job to babysit his emotional insecurities and police what people can and can't say to him. If he has thoughts of suicide he should see a counselor, not rely on triggered internet retards to organize a defense force.

No one said the white race is in danger.
The group that Social Justice is hurting most is itself.
Denying itself proper education and ,instead of trying to fix your problems, rioting and pinning them on others.
Also this.

Wow. So tough.

So you're telling me that if somebody posted posters of your face around town with accusations of something awful, you'd be chill about it and carry on like normal?

Fucking bullshit, you wouldn't leave the house.

I can't believe we have an honest to god SJW defender.
5/10, not sure if trolling, but also don't give a fuck.

>No one said the white race is in danger.
Really? Cause you're sure panicking like it is. Or the straight race, or whatever other group you want to identify as when you wail about how the big scary tumblr bogeymen are ruining the world. It's all the same.

Idiot, I'm calling out people for being exactly the same as SJWs, whining about how h-hurtful words ;_; on the internet are a "dangerous threat" to society.

Yeah yeah, so anyway.

When are we getting art of Parley in rainbow string bondage?

So people actually started a smear campaign in a webcomic artist's town? Did he open a police investigation?

Do you have literal autism or something?

Do you have evidence?

No, I would file a defamation suit.

Never. Parley is way too Tumblr.

Too kill la kill.

To his hand.
They're not tangled up randomly to his boy, they're tied to is palm where he has a fine control over them.

They know Tom's real name and face and went into every media area he relies on for his business, saying that he did some awful thing. I was using the town as an analogy because user likely doesn't have a 10 year old project to lose.

You could do all the legal you want but people in town will still remember your face with those accusations.

>A BLOO HOO, YOUR LIFE CAN BE RUINED BY THE INTERNET
Uh huh. Tom did a stupid thing by having a Twitter account for anything other that purely business affairs. Seriously, idiots are going to accuse you of being an evil monster in response to literally everything you say.

And again, the man needs to grow a spine. How the hell does anyone manage to be vulnerable to derogatory comments growing up in the fuckin' UK?

Just shut up already.
Stop derailing the thread.

Are you people really bitching over like three or four fucking people complaining about this?

>derailing
>a Gunnerkrigg thread
Oh yes, pardon me for interrupting the riveting conversation that usually happens in these threads. We need to get back to random exclamations of "I want to cum in Annie's hair!".

You can just shut right the fuck up, asscrease.

But ...
I DO wanna cum in Annie's hair!

Hey at least those anons tried to have an actual on-topic conversation in one of the last threads before people started bitching about on-topic conversation so that they could get back to their shitposting.

>guy struggles with depression
>man what a pussy why don't you just toughen up
You sound like a real tough guy.

>those anons tried to have an actual on-topic conversation
Fetish crap and acting like a goddamned retard is not "on-topic".

>defending shitposting
Speaking of suicide, you should seriously consider it.

I don't give a rusty pronged fuck about what you want. I want to talk about Gunnerkrigg Court, but I can't do that because all the other Gunnkrigg "fans" on this shithole of a website are a bunch of insane retards who care more about jerking off to their own fantasies than about discussing the damn comic.

Way to completely miss the point of my post you overly aggressive cunt.

You're the only one who always keeps shitting up the threads.

...

I miss tan Kat

Up until now she has been looking entirely through a blinker stone.

Maybe, as a result... well, she might have missed some more subtle things.

>smitty is literally pulling the strings
Dance, puppets! Dance!
Tom isn't the most stable guy. I wouldn't be surprised if he's in these threads from time to time, insulting himself.

...

Defcon 5 is peace
Defcon 1 is war
Get it fucking right

when did this happen
