Noooo, Anthony!
I'm guessing Brinnie's not coming back this time.

So what donny is saying is that tony regularly hurts peoples feeling in the most hurtful way possible. But rarely if ever means or even realizes it.

Ouch, Anthony left her high and dry. To be fair, Surma and Anja's plan was a bad move. Anthony wasn't addressing the Brinnie issue, so why did they think putting pressure on him (publicly no less) would result anything but more avoidance? The result is that he still bolts, and Brinnie is humiliated in front of more people (happy couples).
Once again, Ouch

Question: How secret was Anja and Surma's plan? Clearly Donny was in on it, but did Tony or Brinnie know?

Well, on the other hand, if he doesn't know if he loves her, that probably means he doesn't love her, and so it's silly to expect him to "make his move" in the right conditions.

Those faces. I looove the expressions here.  Well, on the other hand, if he doesn't know if he loves her, that probably means he doesn't love her, and so Or he's overwhelmed and not sure of anything at all, this happens too. it's silly to expect him to "make his move" in the right conditions. Normally? Why not, he would be just playing a good gentleman. If he knows "she took a shine to him" and goes out of his way to not raise her hope? This couldn't end well. If he's confused, that's just splashing nitroglycerin into fire and could go any way, but again, unlikely to end well. |

Guys you are all missing the most important detail.
HOW does Donny DO that with his glasses?

You know, maybe it's not a perfect fit, but when I read this one, all I could think was:
Like a BOSS.

I wouldn't overthink the details, we're in unreliable narrator territory here, the important part is the message Donny's trying to tell Annie, not necessarily what really happened. You know, maybe it's not a perfect fit, but when I read this one, all I could think was: Like a BOSS. No, I think that's pretty perfect. |

That's the only thought I had, and the only one I can add to this discussion.

Hmm. There was (is?) some awkwardness between Eggers and Annie because of, um, historical considerations. I wonder how would it be with Brinnie should she ever show up in Timeline 0.
Anyway, no point in wondering about that now, I do not think today's page is the end of story.

I'd much rather assume that Donny being a wacky teen genius inventor, he created a pair of robotic glasses that change shape according to his current emotions. And I will now claim this is canon until proven otherwise. |

It's at moments like these that you realize that no matter how much she resembles her mother, Annie is still her father's daughter. *sigh*

Is anyone else expecting warrior goddess Brinnie to physically register her displeasure with Anthony? So we know she's teleporting away, but it seems to me like she's going to end up right in Anthony's path, a confrontation which might force Anthony into, you know, being a human being for a minute, hence why Donny is telling Annie.

I'd much rather assume that Donny being a wacky teen genius inventor, he created a pair of robotic glasses that change shape according to his current emotions. And I will now claim this is canon until proven otherwise. I present the alternative theory of him trapping a multidimensional demon in them, and feeling the need to always keep them under surveillance he put them on his face. Where better to keep an eye on them? He doesn't really need them to see. He has perfect vision. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. It's also good to see the Valknut return. I was wondering about that guy. Something that's been bugging me ever since I first saw it in "Ties" was if it was unicursal or tricursal. This one is clearly the former, and with that knowledge, it's much easier to make out the one in "Ties" is also unicursal. I have no idea if this has any significance to the story, I just found it interesting. Of course if further exposure to Brinnie's magic reveal that she can also use tricursal Valknuts I'll be totally flabbergasted. Is anyone else expecting warrior goddess Brinnie to physically register her displeasure with Anthony? So we know she's teleporting away, but it seems to me like she's going to end up right in Anthony's path, a confrontation which might force Anthony into, you know, being a human being for a minute, hence why Donny is telling Annie. She isn't a warrior goddess, though. She's basically a grim reaper. Not much better, when I think about it. |

My thoughts: 1: Anthony is super flabbergasted by Brinnie because he is in love with Surma already. He had never even considered loving anyone else, so any idea that he might like her was unacceptable. 2: Or, Anthony is super flabbergasted by Brinnie because he is in love with Donne  3: If this were a typical teen romance movie, this is where Eglamore would punch Anthony for being a jerk, leading Surma to decide that Eglamore is a jerk and try to comfort Anthony, only to become fascinated with prying Anthony out of his shell. 4: In any case, Anthony is seriously socially crippled, an affliction he and circumstances have passed on to his daughter. 5: He seems a little less Gendo Ikari to me now. But still up there in the 'worst dad ever' running. Granted this is decades seperated, but he just doesn't seem like the type of person to be capable of teaching social skills to a child, or even socializing with people at all. He doesn't seem like he is capable of being an adequate boyfriend, let alone husband or father. 6: That said, I'd rather being a father be something he can't do rather than have it be something he is merely uninterested in. |

In the immortal words of Mr. LaBeouf:
"No, no, no, no, nononononono! No! NO! NO!"
I'd say that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter.
Dear Lord, it's like a combination of my sophomore and junior years all over again.

Pretty much my thought. Though at the same time this seems like a dangerously "simple" conclusion to come to since we already know the long-term results of their relationships. Perhaps more complicated things happen before the Anthony/Surma hookup. ... hence the rest of the items in your list I guess, heh. |

I've considered that as well, either he loves her already or this situation with Brinnie allowed him to see that he does. Either way i can see why Anthony, not feeling the same way for Brinnie, refused the relationship. he does not want to hurt her feelings by getting her hopes up. Whether he loves Surma or not, at this point it's pretty obvious that he does not love Brinnie enough to pursue a relationship. Such a problem called for a massive case of "letting her down easy" but either poor Tony was unaware of how to do it or the situation he got pushed to prevented him from doing it any other way. |
