"And when she smiles at me, I feel the shame of that moment anew!"
This line got to me. Annie has actually forgiven him and he can't accept it.
God damn it I love Rey so much

To be fair, she was probably intending to do the same to Adam. You reap what you sew!
And yaaay, I knew Rey would never regret being with Annie. <3 All this shame is a major bummer, though. But it just goes to show how seriously he takes his honor and actions. Great Reynardine, best friend.

I think we all knew that this was roughly what he was going to say. But still, good to hear him say it.
Also: "Reynardine! You dropped all my things! All of them!"

I'm not complaining. Torch her, Rey. So, are we going to find out about their past together ex-post facto? Is Rey going to explain it to someone else? Because at the rate we're going, Hetty is going to be extra crispy extra soon. |

Annie then forgave him, and now considers him one of her closest friends. What a shame. And not in the JC Denton way, that really must be horrible. I'm not complaining. Torch her, Rey.

Maybe we'll have an extra long burning session while she gets extra mad for being betrayed by Rey, or even see some true form of hers, then in the end we - and maybe her too - realize that she did all of this because she was so stricken with grief and despair? Maybe. |

Heh, wasn't just me whose mind went straight to JC when I saw that line then  No wonder he is so protective of her now though, he tried to destroy her once, now if she gets hurt again he will probably feel the guilt all over again. |

When I read the last two panels, I literally shouted "OH SH*T!"
Rey has been SO passive in regards to Hetty, but NOW He's gonna full blown Burn her alive?! (Or so it appears he will)
At any rate, hetty Totally deserves it and.. - aw crud! Weekend? But I can't wait! ):\

Adam's chances of noticing Hetty sneaking around his house will be greatly increased if she is on fire. [random]Remember those times when you're on a date or you're chatting someone up and suddenly you realize that you've just blown it so bad that no matter what you say or do, any possibility of anything good coming of this encounter whatsoever is toast? Or alternatively, when you figure out that you actively and genuinely dislike the person you're out on a date with? That sense of freedom that then arrives to do or say whatever you actually feel? Or even to play it up for lulz because you've simply run out of fooks to give?  [/random] |

Aw man. Hetty's a psychopath, but I don't really want to see her painfully murdered. Isn't there any rehabilitation for insane dolls?

I'm not entirely sure if Rey meant to spray Hetty with the fluid, or just stomped on the can in rage.
What's your guess? And why?

I somewhat agree - not that I think she can be rehabilitated, but he could potentially solve things by reporting her to a school authority ("hey, there's this OTHER possessed toy plotting to murder a kid..."). Maybe. If they'd believe him. I guess I worry if he'll get in trouble for this! Then again, isn't he unable to do harm? Or is that only harm to Annie? I don't remember the exact clause, but he may be bluffing if the former is true (but maybe Hetty doesn't know it). |

Don't think he'll actually set her on fire.
First of all he'd need thumbs to use the matches and the only time he had those was in an one-off gag comic.
Still possible though, admittedly.
Second, that'd unusually gruesome, both for the comic and Renard.
If he wanted to hurt her he could just maim her. He is a giant wolf.
What would happen if the body of a possessed doll was destroyed?
His stuffed animal form also seems to be pretty strong to be able to crunch a bottle of lighter fluid half his size.

Don't set Hetty on fire, Renard! You'll just know that she'll crawl out of the ashes all skeletal and launch an insane campaign of revenge against everybody you love. Haven't you seen any evil doll movies?

It does seem like he stepped on the can deliberately to me, but wow, I didn't expect him to try to suddenly murder Hetty. She is pretty evil, but still... Could be that he's just doing it to discourage her, though. Who would try to start a fire while they were soaked in flammable liquid, after all? (Unless they were suicidal) Then again, with someone as crazy as Hetty it can be hard to know, and Reynard probably feels very bad for Adam right now.

I just realized that throughout this chapter Renard really reminds me of Ysengrin. It would be so interesting to see those bros together!
Now we can think more clearly about what Renard saw in Hetty in the first place. Did he just like having a friend that he could confide in? Despite her attitude, Hetty would not put pressure on him to act or feel a certain way, since he doesn't care that much what she thinks. Maybe it was more than that though. Maybe he recognized the evil in her, and by participating, found a way to indulge his shame, remind himself that deep inside he is not the cuddly dog that Annie sees, remind himself of his shame. This time Hetty crossed some sort of line and he's going to take all of his regret and self-hatred out on her.
Kssssssshhh...FWOOM!

"I can take anything with eyes..."
By this, I think we can assume that as long as the eyes are intact, he can survive in whatever body he's possessing... Is the principle the same for Hetty?

If he does light her up, we could end up with something like this though:
(video by Asasasasasasa71)
That'd be horrific/cool
I think he first thought he and Hetty wee in the same boat, demons possessing bodies owned by other people. Even if she was more cynical about it.
He wanted to help her against her master, whom she described as quite mean towards her.
Then he noticed that she was, you know, completely batshit insane...

Uh-oh. Hetty, it might already be too late, but I suggest you start running as fast and as far as your little doll legs will take you, before he lights a match!
On the other hand, perhaps Rey has the right idea. Burn, baby! Burn!
I'm guessing that Rey knows already that burning Hetty will only disfigure the doll she inhabits, and perhaps cause her temporary pain, but she'll otherwise be fine.
And I'm pleased to discover that I was correct about Rey. He did intend to kill Antimony, but now regrets that attempt. Just as he regrets the other deaths.
The sequence of events as I see it:
* Rey had some hint that his taking over another person's body may kill that person, but he was so desperate to be with Surma that he risked it anyway.
* For whatever reason (probably a threat of some kind from the Court), Rey switched to the Orjak's body. This is the first time it's confirmed to him that the previous body dies.
* Rey remains in the Orjak's body out of shame and makes no attempt to switch bodies for a long time because he knows that body will die as well.
* Eventually Rey becomes so desperate to see the outside again that he escapes and meets Antimony.
* When Antimony comes to see Rey again, he's still so desperate for freedom that, in a state of almost-insanity, he makes his attempt to possess Antimony.
* Now, having been treated like a friend by Antimony and with something resembling freedom, Rey has returned to full sanity and being a basically decent person, regrets his actions.

Burning the doll might just free Hetty from her contract, as the destruction of Reynard's wolf toy would do the same.
He might be basically telling her to get lost and stop bothering humans.

Hasn't it been said that destroying the wolf doll would free Reynardine? So burning Hetty might not be the best idea from an evil-in-a-can perspective. Maybe Hetty will be the one to light a match in frustration, then stagger around ranting before finally drifting off as a black wisp. * For whatever reason (probably a threat of some kind from the Court), Rey switched to the Orjak's body. This is the first time it's confirmed to him that the previous body dies. * Rey remains in the Orjak's body out of shame and makes no attempt to switch bodies for a long time because he knows that body will die as well. This part should probably be: * Rey takes Daniel R. Schiff. * That big guy and some others come after him threateningly. * He switches to the dragon (Schiff body dies, although he may not notice right away) and absconds. * After a few years (to fill out the timeline) that big guy tracks him down and imprisons him. |
