Which explains why he told Annie to go and take her make up off, I suppose.

Ninja'd by less than a minute for thread creation.
The first flirt is indeed from Anthony... But this isn't a serious move so I'm not ready to collect cookies.
Yet.

Skipping, for the moment, the obligatory flashback to when Tony reprimanded Annie for makeup, can we just admire how easily Surma is won over? Like, she's definitely so full of emotions and that seems to just bounce off Tony, whose emotions are only shown in brief intervals. I wonder if she lost her 'spark' when her fire began passing to her daughter, and that caused her outbursts to die down. Or if she just matured.

Instead of, you know, letting her make her own decision independently. At first I thought it was because he was a controlling parent and strict teacher but now... I don'know. |

Tony says 'I always thought it was very sexy', which is a comment about when she was wearing make-up. |

He still manages to maintain that patented Tony Bluntness even when the Shell is off, it seems.
Laughing at how nonchalant he is.

Suddenly I can imagine how that classroom discussion could have been even worse than it was. "Daughter, that make-up style of your mother's was the erotic kink our marriage was based on. Please remove it ASAP." |

I'm guessing most of the reason Surma took off her makeup is because it probably is silly to wear it in the jungle. but I wonder how much of her decision was Tony based?

This flirting and relationship does seem kind of oddly placed, but then we haven't really seen much of Surma and Eglamore together, and how they treated each other, or how good their relationship really was. Perhaps old Jimmy Jims never gave Surma many compliments, or took any interest in her powers, and Surma is surprised and pleased to be getting nicer attention than before?

It may just be that Anthony remarked on her lack of makeup, ergo Surma felt self-conscious and decided to fish for a compliment. And she landed one that did not necessarily reassure her about her appearance at the moment while trumpeting the fact that Anthony always thought of her look as sexy, I might add. Not bad game. |

I was wondering the same thing. Eggs might be super-focused on his training, and may have been for some time. No one can be "stolen away", unless they want to be. And Surma is stealing Tony away from the Court. I wonder what his reasons are. The relationship development seems a little forced and quick. The meat of the chapter may be later, with the reaction of their friends (and Eggs) when they find out. Truth be told, for many it's easy to fall in love, but a lot harder to stay and make it work. |

Man. We're getting into some major Electra complex themes here now, aren't we. To be perfectly honest, this page plus all the other pages where Anthony comments on his daughter's makeup is...kinda uncomfortable.

Something I've noticed is that we're seeing this all from Surma's perspective. But with all the rest of the comic in mind, it has become increasingly obvious to me that Tony's perspective is the interesting one. I guess Anja, who is telling the story, wouldn't know anything about Tony's feelings, though.

Evidence here:
-Annie always wears the same makeup, even in the woods. It's constantly made note of by other characters. (Kat, indirectly Jones, the elves.) She's kind of obsessed with her look, to the point where being told to remove her makeup represents a stripping of her identity.
-Surma, her mother, wore the same makeup.
-Tony hates Annie wearing the makeup because it reminds him of Surma.
-As we've learned today, Tony thinks the makeup is sexy. (Or maybe the lack of makeup. Not quite clear on this.)
All this is adding up to a pretty creepy portrait of familial relations, if you ask me. I mean... Ew.

Pushing aside all the Ew comments...
Either we have understimated Tony's lack of understanding of social norms, because you do not flirt with a friend's (or acquaintance in Jimmy Jims case) girlfriend...
Or Surma and Mr Egg werent dating. They could have had a two sided crush but neither made another move (Surma with the Medium stuff, Eglamore even busier with training) other than going out with their friends to do stuff.
(Being honest though with so many cuck memes on the internet I really dont want GC to fall into a cheating for the plot category)

I'm getting the feeling that people are letting their dislike of Anthony color their interpretations here. Why is Tony not wanting to be reminded of Surma when he looks at Annie somehow evidence that he has incestuous feelings? Or even if you take the interpretation that makeup is Tony's kink, him being weired out enough by his daughter wearing makeup to tell her to stop is evidence that he does not want to see his daughter be kinky.

He could just be seriously answering her question, using his own perspective as an example. |

-As we've learned today, Tony thinks the makeup is sexy. (Or maybe the lack of makeup. Not quite clear on this.) GUYS! This page does not imply ew! Antimony has no idea about what her dad is into, she just wants to look like her mom because she loved her and she misses her. Stop reading so much into this! AND ALSO, it is 100% clear that Tony is telling Surma that he has always thought the makeup was sexy, there is no room for misinterpretation here.  The thing where Tony told Antimony to take off the makeup was most likely him thinking his daughter was trying to be sexy, and that it was inappropriate for someone her age. He was most likely oblivious to the fact that Antimony was just trying to be like her mom. While it is a little creepy for dads to be policing their daughters' sexuality, it is not out of the norm by any means. |

And soon we're going to learn that Tom's real cunning plot was to merchandise his (secret) makeup line.
Ps: Ggle ads soon are gonna show me makeup promos...

(Being honest though with so many cuck memes on the internet I really dont want GC to fall into a cheating for the plot category) I think it was made clear in previous flashbacks that Surma and Eglamore were dating, although don't have time now to find specific references. It is hardly uncommon for people to develop feelings for someone while dating someone else and leave their current partner for them. Heck, my mum left her previous partner for my dad and they have been married 35 years now, so it obviously works out sometimes! And to be honest I don't know if Tony is even capable of flirting intentionally. I think he is just showing a side of himself that Surma hasn't seen before, and something about it attracts her more than Jimmy Jims. As I said, we don't really have much inkling how their relationship was like, although we already know that Surma never liked Jones and how close she was to Eglamore. |
