I sort of pointed out that she hadn't started her diet.
she might be prettier if she wasn't scrunching and twisting her face every 5 seconds.

www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=140Well, she DID mention a diet, way back when... but it sounded positive. A 'we won't be like you, tubby!' sort of way. And now look at her. I think she'd be a bit happier if her friend was there, don't you? She seemed to take care of the other one. Maybe she's just angry because she has no one to look out for?

I really wonder how the scissors will fit into all this. I am thinking that they will cut of blue's head, but that is maybe a bit gross.

Obviously being changed into a human hasn't altered her speech patterns. The teachers are definitely going to have to work on that.
At any rate, now we know that that girl *is* one of the fairies from Chapter Eight - and why she's so angry at Annie. Though she's conveniently forgotten that she and her friend were trying to get into Gunnerkrigg before Annie ever showed up in the forest. I suppose it's the old case of "It's easier to blame someone else for your problems when things go wrong than to take the blame for them yourself".
Someone also needs to have a talk with that girl about lifting your top too high in public; small wonder that the much primmer Annie is shocked.

I think Tom mentions in his captions that Red pretty much says what's on her mind. Sadly, the shock of getting the bulky human body and the overly complicated human brain might have been a little too much for lil' miss Red, and likewise she expresses herself thus.
Despite her behaviour, I do hope she and Annie would be friends.

Annie's hair even has such composure, even when things are hectic.

1% of US teenage girls develop anorexia nervosa. "Ana's Underground Grotto" is freakin' scary.  |

Maybe something else is upsetting her, and Annie just happens to be a convenient target for lashing out irrationally. |

I just hope that this chapter won't read like an Afterschool Special. (Chapter Thirteen made use of the real-life issue of when a friend moves away, but focused on the drama and characterization, rather than on the moral.)

Dude, have you forgotten what comic you're reading? This is Gunnerkrigg Court, not Sesame Street. =P |

Someone left their sense of modesty with their old body, methinks. Poor Annie, I'm sure this isn't how she wants to start the new school year.

Where would we be without twelve, guys? WHERE. Hey now, I never said anything bad about it. It's just that this is definitely a very different type of entertainment. Fairies who reincarnate themselves into human forms by tricking people into murdering them is not the type of thing you're going to find on Sesame Street. =P |

It would make the show far more watchable, though!

I imagine Bert complaining to Ernie about all those squished fairies on the kitchen table, and Ernie explaining that he just helped them getting new bodies  |

If "Gunnerkrigg Court" was going to do a chapter on that topic, at least it makes far more sense to have the girl with the "I'm too fat" outlook be one of those fairies from Gillitie (who had already had that line about dieting in Chapter Eight), instead of Annie. I honestly can't imagine Annie being insecure about her looks; she's far too interested in her surroundings to fret about whether she's overweight or not. (And it'd probably be repetitive to have Kat be the one to get afflicted with that worry, after the make-up scene in Chapter Thirteen.)

Crazy fairies.
Things like Ana's Underground Grotto are almost enough to make me support curtailing free speech.
Almost.

What *is* Ana's Underground Grotto, anyway? 's a fairly notorious pro-anorexia website. I find the whole thing pretty sickening. Have a look, if you so wish. |

I am pretty sure that without the pictures and banners, it could be easily mistaken as a site for neo-nazis or some weird cult with that intro.

That frightened me badly. "The mirror never lies?" "Inner beauty is a joke"? That is disgusting.

As I said above, at least Annie seems unlikely to develop those problems. I certainly can't imagine her suffering from anorexia at all. (I also suspect that she'll be the only girl in her class who won't be feeling impatient for - um - certain bodily changes to occur that one associates with this period of life. Though she might be concerned about how a certain plush roommate of hers will respond when they occur. I can just imagine this scene, a couple of years from now in her future:
Annie is telling Reynardine off for having behaved badly once again, and in the middle of her scolding, adds, "And look at me when I'm speaking to you."
REYNARDINE: I *am* looking at you.
ANNIE: My chest doesn't count!)
