I think it might be fun to pit the characters of this comic directly against each other! For the next few weeks we'll be running a Gunnerkrigg Character Poll which everyone is welcome to take part in! All you have to do is choose your top three favourite characters and once the poll is over we will do a run down of the Top 10 for the traditional break content once the current chapter ends.
It's just a simple Google Form and shouldn't require any personal information so if you have a second, please check it out!

Chances that Kat's parents did something to her/engineered her and knew she was special all along?

How will the Norns react to Anji's wrinkly prune face?

>google
haha o wow

I hate how Anja expected all this.
Kat's just her effed up science experiment, isn't she?

Yes.

I wonder how old looking the norns will be.

It'll make them wet.

This bodes poorly.

I'm wondering if Tom might somehow be stacking towards an "almighty creator" angle - that Kat, god of robots, is merely a projection of the same power behind all gods which exist, cultivated by the court in their attempts to SCIENCE! life, death, god and everything.

I don't think so. I think Anja is just more observant and less close-minded than Kat so she had already realized that her daughter was becoming a god and it just doesn't merit more than a "neat".

1) There's been a canonically established way of manipulating the past without any of the issues that come with time travel. The creation of Jones and gods and mythological beings wasn't time travel, instead they were created through the ether, which isn't bound by time and can create things at any point in time, be it past, future or present. This comes with the added bonus of not creating any paradox.
2) Time travel will always create a paradox, unless multiple timelines are involved, which is not usually the case, according to the little ghost guy.
3) Kat has said time travel is impossible.
4) Given what we know of the universe (That by default only one timeline exists) it would be insane of Kat (who knows this) to try to "save" an Annie from a different timeline, because Kat would create that timeline by virtue of initiating her time travel, meaning the BEST POSSIBLE SCENARIO in that case is that the status quo stays intact.
5) It would be silly of Tom to introduce a second timetravel mechanic when he already introduced a way to manipulate the past.
Any more reasons?

Will the Annies be brought along to the Norns?
I hope not.

In case you do need more reasons:
6) Why would Kat have sent the tictocs back to before the creation of the court if they were sent back to save Annie?
7) Why are there multiple tictocs, where did they come from?
8) Why would the tictocs do anything other than what Kat made sent them back to do, which is save Annie?
9) Why would Kat have sent the tictocs, if the goal was to save Annie? Quite a terrible design for that task. Why would Kat not have made a proper robot specifically designed for that task?
All of these things are explained very easily by the fact that they were not sent back at all and not by Kat, instead they were created retroactively through the belief of robots that died in the future.

Looks like those old thread shitters are back.

Who are you talking about?

You know who.

gonna take some time for the redddit refugees to get bored or go back to school, sadly.

Who did you guys vote for in the character poll?

I actually don't, this thread's had nothing but discussion so far.

seethe

Don't remember, but one of those was Jones
Imagine getting handjobs from eternally young-looking woman-shaped being

I agree with the 'not time travel' thing simply because it's being talked about by the characters so much, that it must be something else.

As you say, the ether gives no fucks about what's possible in science and can make gods and entities retroactively if enough souls/minds in the ether think they exist. Now Kat's making robots that are alive and a part of the ether, so they're shaping it just as much as humans.

It makes sense that the instances of the tictoc are manifested by robot faith and because of their nature, they're all exact copies down to the last nut and bolt.

>eternally young-looking woman-shaped being
Oh, you mean Annie?
That would be great, yeah.
Phoenix girl sex.
Pretty hot.

She would crush your dick if she accidentally gripped even a little bit too hard
