Back to one Annie then. Ok. If it's dragonball rules then maybe this is only temporary?
Edit: It's been a looong time since I saw DBZ so...

Seems like Annies fused!
Just like that, Zimmy smirked into Dark Goddesshood on my books. |

Fast link to the last time we clearly saw the Antimonies' clothes in Zimmingham. Sadly, I don't think we have a single Antimony with 2x mass. The green shirt thing went down past Fannie's waist before but now is collarless and hip-length. Not a huge DBZ fan either but don't they get bigger and more powerful when they combine? Have the purple top and skirt become a single more powerful garment? |

Fast link to the last time we clearly saw the Antimonies' clothes in Zimmingham. Your link has been ProBoards'd Also, I wonder if this is foreshadowing that Zimmy and Gamma could do this too? |

Haha, no, on this case, the "power factor" may not come into play, since Annie was not Duplicated, nor Halved in two, but shifted, "un-synced". I think of it as a signal interference in old TVs that create 2 (or more) phantom images. And now figuratively and seemingly physically, Annie has synchronized with herself again. |

Strangely I liked both Courtney's and Fanny's haircuts, but I don't like this one at all.

Link unproboarded, thanks. Actually, that is an interesting point. If Zeta can unshift Antimonies, who was originally shifted so that Antimony could leave and also stay with "Loup", is it possible that Zeta has shifted Gamma one or more times in the past to make sure they stay together? |

Time for Kat to suffer another existential crisis.
I am not sure I like this. We ended with the annies in the midst of a conflict that has been brewing for quite a while, and now it is suddenly resolved? Without her own doing? It makes me wonder why Tom split Annie if it has no impact. But well, maybe I am too quick here. I will see how this develops.
Also Annie split soon after Loup fused...so time for Loup's splitting?

If the Annies fused, maybe she now has twice the firepower.
This could be a game changer should she be needed to help fight Loup in the final battle where Renard might become an ether mega-zord after drinking Coyote's essence.

I'm really hoping this is either not real or temporary. Not to mention that just fusing both Annies would mean that there will forever be a timeline where Annie never came back from the Forest.

Even before this I wasn't sure there was an objective reality in the Gunnerverse.

I don't know if this is it. I doubt it, actually. My first instinct is that Zimmy is teaching Annie(s) a lesson, Coyote-style. And it worked, and she knows it: look at that mischievous face! The remaining Annie(s) for her part look like oh s&#% I just got exactly what I said I wanted, what have I done... But to make it a truly teachable moment, there would need to be a way to reverse it - so that Annie(s) learn from that as well. Also, the trick itself may be beyond Zimmy's control, and she just goes along with the flow of it. Annies did get cut off from each other mentally right upon falling into Zimmingham, when Zimmy was still lost. In either case, I take comfort from seeing Renard being so relaxed about the whole thing. It's almost as if he knew that whatever happens, things will inevitably turn out all right. At least the mark on his forehead remains unchanged. |

The main question is now: how will Tony react to the merged Annie?

That's interesting, and I think I agree that we don't actually know what really happened to Annie. Consider the following: - Clippy said she's been 'shifted out of [her] timeline and brought here' - They also said that she's going to need temporal affairs, which are very reclusive - When asked, Urd/eldest Norn declined, said they're only dealing with temporal affairs. Which means whatever Annie's twin deal is, it's probably not stemming from messy timelines. Perhaps the shifting refers to Kat's intervention? Edit: apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. |

Oh.
Well.
I guess an undramatic fuse is good, but I kind of feel sad for annie. I mean, I cant imagine ever getting along with my copy, but she did. Everyone else will probably be relieved, I'll guess that Tony will even be a little friendly, if hesitant. But even though she didn't actually lose anyone, that extra physical presence is gone.
And dang zimmys got some power if she can just ctrl+z loup's power like that. Did coyote know about zimmy?

Count me as another reader who thought that all of this was resolved in an astonishingly "pat" fashion - Annie becoming just "one Annie" again as a side-effect of what was largely a story about Zimmy and Gamma - but we did see something similar in the story about the Spider and Jack - what seemed to be Annie facing the dangers turned out to be Zimmy mistakenly believing that she was Annie.
And the chapter isn't over yet.

Zimmy, Brinnie etc. Or maybe in the Court files it's something along the lines of 'capable of level 6 etheric distortion' |

Yeah, we are just getting started with what happens when someone with two memory streams collapses into a single stream again. The two Annies seem never to have had trouble sorting their common history, though, so one or two levels of recursivity shouldn't be too insanity-inducing. I hope.
Of course, a fire doesn't care how many individual flames it is divided into or merged from, so long as it has the same fuel. Tom is pretty good at multiple-worlds thinking; the implication here might be that from the point of view of the cosmos, there is really only one "reality" and only one "real Annie", even if there are multiple instances of Annie across multiple universes or timelines.

Despite my reservations on this, it is a good way for the Annies to understand each other: just merge them together. But still, dramatically and physologically it leaves something to be desired: because we likely all know or knew someone we desperately wished to understand, but couldn't; and in an etherless reality merging is impossible.
But that is speculation about something of which we don't know the direction yet.

hijinks will ensue when one Annie controls 1 arm and the other controls the other arm...question is who controls the writing arm?

Despite my reservations on this, it is a good way for the Annies to understand each other: just merge them together. Only if at one point they get separated again. Because if not, you have simply destroyed these two similar yet separate personalities and they, at least, will never have the possibility of learning anything from this experience. I am aware the fused Annie can still learn from this of course, but there can be no understanding each other any more.
Also, if this should stay permanent, the Annies should have really, really been asked if they even wanted this. It would not even be undoing something that has happened before (like certain transporter malfunctions on Star Trek), because Annie was shifted, not split.
