My interpretation was always that she liked Jones very much, especially admiring how she seems not to express any emotion. Hence Jones wearing a mask, and lending it to Annie - she's showing her how to be a perfect, blank facade. Later in the dream, Annie willingly unmasks only when she's being vulnerable and showing emotion with Kat. Annie's mask motif is used frequently with her fire spirit (literally and figuratively, the fiery anger within her), including here and again here. Annie masking her emotions, learning to deal with her emotions, being overwhelmed with emotion, and masking them again is a long running theme of the comic. We see it happen without an etheric lens (emotionally masking, but we can't see the mask) in the physical space here. Anyway, sorry if I rambled a bit, but I think that dream was Annie secretly seeing Jones as a role model. They've always mutually respected each other and both have even said so aloud. I'm excited about this chapter because I wonder, with Annie growing and changing so much recently, if her dynamic with Jones has changed as well. I feel like I may be veering into wild spec, but I definitely think most of what you've said makes the Jones being the secret crush theory way stronger. Having tons of respect for and seeing someone as a role model doesn't really mean they can't also be attracted to them in some way, in fact those things are commonly part of why people want someone. Seeing someone as less emotional can also happen while being attracted to them. I don't disagree with your assentment about Jones and Annies dynamic, just that I'd end it with "and thats why part of Annie crushes on Jones." Keep in mind crush doesn't mean "seriously want to date or even presue". Like, I don't think that's where anything is going. i mean how would one date the earth or someone 5 billion years old as a fire elemental she's effectively the same person-ish as the original fire elemental they came from |

Keep in mind crush doesn't mean "seriously want to date or even pursue". Like, I don't think that's where anything is going. Fair. I'm not aboard the ship, but your analysis is perfectly fair. i mean how would one date the earth or someone 5 billion years old Hasn't seemed to stop Elgamore from entertaining the notion. |
