Annie is the Omega device LAUGHING ON LINE No but for serious though isn't there that thing in alchemy where you mash the three primes together and get a philosopher's stone? Maybe it's that. Pretty sure Coyote, Ysengrin, and Renard are a three primes trio (Coyote being sulfur, Ysengrin salt, and Renard mercury obvs). On a surface level the three gals in question do bear a passing resemblance to the three doggo gods. So maybe the Court was tryna make their own dog god trio but instead of dogs they used little girls cause you just gotta work with what you got. And now Coyote's done gone and got two of his trio mushed together already, and super wants Renard for unclear reasons, so maybe the Court is all "Tony get yer weird science experiment daughters all gathered up we gotta make a philosopher's stone" and Tony's like "I'm extremely not ok with this" and the Court's all "bruh we didn't ask for your opinion get to work". And then maybe that's why Tony can't himself with Court Annie cause she's gonna be three people eventually and by retroactive causality she always was. Lucky break for Forest Annie I guess except for how she probably has to be a psychopomp now... ah but wait she still has that agreement for Loup to get her out of it, so maybe there'll just have to be a Philosopher's Stone Psychopooooommmp AHHHHHJHGJH WAIT JONES IS CALLED THE STONE. This is some quality wildspec and also are you okay?? |

You'll see. You'll all see. (No but for reals tho every time something else fits in I get all giddy about it, been reading this comic for 15 dang ole years and ain't never had any predictions turn out even a little bit right.) So predict something lame, detrimental, and anti-climatic happening to Tom, the Readers, and the characters! We only stand to lose, which is, to gain! Unless your predictions do not work on the inverse scale of correctitude. |

I mean this is the court, there's no need for the "Omega Device" to actually be anything significant. But with trickster Gods you can't actually know. Their idea of a joke can be something terrible, truly terrible. They can also be saints like Prometheus, who suffer immensely to help others. (Though Prometheus was a Titan, not a god, technically?)
Perhaps the Omega Device is a webcomic which makes people speculate endlessly while the world around them wears flu masks and/or fights against the wearing of flu masks.

Off-page-topic, is Proboards' scrollto function broken for anyone else when opening new tabs in Firefox and/or other browsers? It used to be that if you opened a page in a new tab, it would scroll once you selected that tab. Now it only scrolls if you click a link and stay in the same tab until the scrolling is complete. If you open a new tab while staying in the old tab, or change tabs after clicking to open a page in the current tab, it won't scroll. You can mostly get it to scroll by clicking in the URL bar and hitting enter, but sometimes it simply refuses.

I have the same problem, but I assumed it was due to the script blocker in my browser, haha. |

I seriously started thinking about how exactly Mort could come back. So when you die in the Gunnerverse, the psychopomp you believe in comes and takes your spirit into the Ether, where everything you were sort of becomes part of the collective unconscious of the universe or something like that, but I have an ongoing theory that each psychopomp retains an ethereal connection to each spirit they've escorted. That's why no others came when Surma died: the one she believed in was Annie, and the others knew Surma's spirit was connected to Annie already anyway. But it was possible, via some twisted ritual, for Tony to bring a vision of Surma forth from Annie's spirit. What if ithere's a less twisted way for a psychopomp to willingly commune with the spirit of someone they've escorted in the past? If we ever see Mort again, that's how it could come about. But that would mean that Annie could also commune with Surma ... and with Jeanne and her boyfriend. Well...don't forget that Annie's and Surma's life force are one and the same. The fire that was Surma's literally continues to burn inside Antimony. Chances are high that alone was the reason it was possible to bring forth that echo of Surma at Annie's expense. |

In the context of GC, the very 3D shading plus lack of edge lines is a bit jarring, for me.
Oddly, this image made me notice something on my phone that I'd never noticed before. As I was scrolling the image on my Note 10+ phone's AMOLED screen, I discovered that if my screen is turned down to very low brightness (as it happened to be at the time, due to low ambient light), there's actually a lag in the updating of black to the darkest green. The shadow on the soldier grows a bit for a moment if I scroll down or to the left, then a moment later recedes to its proper extent. It's not noticeable when the screen is brightened to daylight or bright room levels.
The effect looked kind of creepy, as if the image had a bit of movement-triggered animation showing a shadow trying to creep across the soldier's torso. Now, if only an additional glitch that looked like two glass eyes had briefly appeared...

Boxbot has just been coyote the entire time Every time I get afraid of shapeshifters, I have to remind myself that GKC like scientists are probably so used to that s*** they have a method of dealing with them. |
