About Kat's sexuality throughout the comic: Alistair was pretty feminine, with his long hair and fragility. After he became a bird, I think Kat had a desire to fix birds as a subconscious way of fixing Alistair. Her desire to fix living things also manifests when she comforts Paz. James was the first masculine figure in her life, so I think she latched onto his image like how young boys latch onto hypersexualized female celebrities when they're prepubescent. She could be bi, lesbian or mostly straight, but it appears to me that she has at least some attraction to girls, and that this is an important topic regarding Kat's character. And if Annie + weird looking green guy do have a kid (though given recent information, they might not get together after all, despite what happened in Divine), I think Kat is going to deny her dislike for him/her, while deep down she thinks he/she is an abomination. She might justify getting rid of the kid by saying it's to save Annie, but the thing that really pushes her is her repressed hatred. By that time, Parley would probably become the Protector of the Court and Kat might ascend to her metallic angel form (I have no idea what that thing is yet I can't shake off the thought that it really is Kat). Also I can't find the post anymore but yesterday I read a post here by someone who said Kat = cation and Annie = anion. I felt that was a cool observation and more attention should be paid to it, even if the naming was coincidental. I hadn't noticed the Kat-ion and Ann-ion before but it seems perfect! I couldn't think of any sort of element that Kat would be associated with, but that makes more sense |

So, how I now think this will go down: Annie in the Forest will show something between Annie and green forest dude. Kat, having figured it out from what Zimmy said about him will decide that despite loving Annie, she thinks it's a lost cause and will move onto Paz. Now you're definitely reaching. A broken clock might be right twice a day, but the way you put it it's like there's no such thing as a merely platonic relationship between two people of the same gender.  |

That MIGHT be an issue, standby, lemme check... ...yep, yeah, that's definitely the reason why. |

My first impression of the faeries was that they resembled the posters on the butt zone. No names, identify by insults, wanting to die (an hero), communicate outside of the body, concerned with at-the-moment appearances instead of long-term identifiable personalities like with those on other forums as shown by Red and the fish guy (okay this one is the biggest stretch).
But when I got to the end of the 'red gets a name' chapter I felt like the resemblance was off and they were only similar in a few ways, since they were free once they were named, and I didn't see how they could be carried over. Any other similarities would only be a struggling stretch of my own imagination.

The only real difference is the prevalence of NSFW and F-bombs, but I get the feeling that might be different if Tom wasn't making a family-friendly comic.  |

Heh heh, I think it's safe to say a LOT of things would be different if Tom wasn't making a family friendly comic.  (Not that its bad that he is. Its a refreshing change from people who feel their work has to be grim&edgy to be relevant.) |

Well I suppose the name can be the trips vs. anons. And the teacher, who also had a name when she said Red could join her, might be sort of like a mod or janitor (she resembles them even more because she didn't do jack during the comic strip during all the chaos).

You know, no matter what it looks like that unless Tom introduces another character sometime, someone is going to end up heartbroken... Current love dodecahedron tangles Kat, Paz, Matt, Robot, Shadow, Annie, Jack, Zimmy, and Gamma. That's 9 people in total, which is an odd number. I'm going to put my guess in early and say that Paz eventually goes back to Matt, while Kat hooks up with Jack. Annie's the wild card, though. I have a feeling that her final love interest isn't going to show up until later... Since this is supposed to be wild speculation, I'll speculate that she ends up with the android Kat's growing. ;D (Although, honestly I doubt it. ) |

Mmm.... no. The Fair Folk are moronic enough, that's all. But they're also fun. Maybe annie will end up with coyote and there will be many spankies for the naughty dog! The best shipping so far! ;D |

A new WMD before bed:
Jones is not a being similar to Coyote. Rather she is a sacrifice of sorts. She is Annie, with the fire elemental parts of her removed, sent back in time for some sort of purpose.
Explains the Stoic disposition, and assuming she's no longer a fire elemental she would adopt her fathers hair colour (kinda). How is she immortal? No clue, How did she get back in time? No clue, how did she lose all her memories? Well, she might not have, she may still have them and chooses to lie to fill whatever purpose she was sent back for, or no clue.
Now, this is probably completely wrong (except the time travel bit, I have my doubts that Coyote and Jones are of similar being, I think Tom will subvert everyone's belief that the Ether is incredibly powerful and subvert what Coyote said), but I want to be able to say in 5 years of something "Hey look at this, I guessed right x years ago!"

Scratch that, He doesn't have blondish hair. Still though, her hair could be anything if she wasn't fire elemental

Coyote and Jones are already known to be dissimilar beings. Coyote and the other gods allegedly depend on human belief for their existence and power, but we've been given no indication that Jones requires us. And Jones is completely indivisible, while Coyote can split off parts of his body at will.

Coyote x Jones would be... an infinity of lulz for all involved!
Maybe that's why Surma didn't like Jones. Because she foresaw that Coyote would dump Annie for her!
And maybe Surma is Annie who has grown up and gone back in time which is how she knows this!
In her mad heartbreak, she flirts with Eggers to annoy futurepast Kat and hooks up with Tony to try and find a cure for time travelling parthenogenesis, and stops being the Forest medium and becomes the Court medium!
===
On a more serious note, do we really know that Tony is definitely Annie's father? I mean, she looks like him and seems a bit like him, but how can we be certain it's not Eggers? I don't even think Eggers is sure

I'm more partial to this distinct burning smell in the morning - but matter of taste, naturally. Jones is not a being similar to Coyote. Rather she is a sacrifice of sorts. She is Annie, with the fire elemental parts of her removed, sent back in time for some sort of purpose. She needed a lot of time to construct a giant bonelaser battery remotely removing the fire elemental parts and covertly transfer it to a secret moonbase on the Moon. Because Tony, as noted so many times, isn't any good with magic. At all. The mystery of Bonelasers is solved! ;D On a more serious note, do we really know that Tony is definitely Annie's father? I mean, she looks like him and seems a bit like him, but how can we be certain it's not Eggers? I don't even think Eggers is sure This would slide the situation from the tough "old rival's kid resembling my old flame makes me jump all the time" plot device into complete soap opera territory, IMHO. But yes, Surma "forgot to mention" to Annie a lot of important stuff. Thus, theoretically possible, of course. |

I don't even think Eggers is sure We might be able to rule it out just based on how many years have passed since Surma left the Court, but I don't think that the information is available in the comic. Now for my theory- Jones is a mythological figure from a religion that has not come into existence yet. |

I don't even think Eggers is sure Tom's already said that Antony is Annie's father, and he'd never intended any mystery over who her real father is. I suspect he simply hadn't counted on his readers remembering the numerous other cases where the identity of the protagonist's true parents is a mystery or a surprise. |

I hadn't noticed the Kat-ion and Ann-ion before but it seems perfect! I couldn't think of any sort of element that Kat would be associated with, but that makes more sense Soon we'll discover a new particle called pazion, which interacts with kations much better than annions do. In fact, their attraction is so strong, it causes the pazion to fall for into the kation. |

Has it been put forward that Jones is Eve yet? Granted, it's not the strongest supposition, but that's why the thread's called 'wild speculation,' no?
