I don't even know what Kat is talking about here.
Did Tom try and fail at showing something?
Am I being retarded?
Or is this something we aren't meant to understand yet?
Matthew Hill
did you skip the last chapter or something? she's obviously talking about the norns
Joshua Wright
Paz is gonna get thrown off the dock. Kat's acting like an affable villain.
Aiden Ross
I wish but she has no motivation to do so
Easton Sullivan
Oh, really?
I was thinking a little bit more specific than that, my dude.
How did they give her confidence?
How did they show her that she can help Annie by herself when they actually did the opposite?
What does Kat mean by saying she met a version of herself that was more put together? Kat knows nothing about Urd and Urd isn't like Kat at all, much less a 'version of herself', except for her appearance. If that gives her confidence, fine, I guess? Kat's confidence issues have been established pretty well, but I don't see how that has been a recent issue at all, when the setbacks she's been experiencing really have nothing to do with that in the slightest.
What problem did Kat figure out?

>in a way I'd never have been able to do on my own
So are Norns the machine Gods or what?
Angel Brooks
>I was able to help Annie and help myself, too
One determined push is all it would take to solve the issue of her clingy gf harassing her best friend, and causing her further guilt over Annie's plight.
Cameron Garcia
Don't make me dream
John Walker
Imagine if Kat sent a bunch of techno-organic horses and bulls by multiplying them using them trick to dick down Annie
Kayden King
A push where? 5 feet into the water?
If you're gonna be weirdly edgy for no reason at least make sense!

I just want to say I find it fairly amusing that Kat still has the same voice in her mecha goddess form. Meaning this eldritch angel thing, so vast and powerful in its being that it doesn't quite fit into three-dimensional space... sounds like a Scottish teenager.
Ryan White
I'd imagine it to echo quite a bit and be distorted as well. In the anime adaptation it would probably sound pretty awesome, with sound effects of metal grinding against metal being layered on top.
Dominic Fisher
I Imagine something like this:

Matthew Rivera
Are you actually retarded?
Jayden Ward
Well, that's my question.
Am I?
Evan Campbell
So basically, Kat's okay now after talking to a trio of time goddesses, and through temporal shenanigans, more or less made the entire plot happen. I mean, most people would've just gone to a therapist, but this is Gunnerkrigg Court after all. The actual therapists are probably lotus eaters or something.
Hm. How very Reaper-esque. I can dig it.
Parker Davis
Why is it whenever a character gets a new haircut to show emotional growth it's always a worse haircut than they had before? It happens every time.
Tyler Walker
The problem is that Kat didn't do ANYTHING.
How did this help her with her issues of feeling powerless?
If I was in her position, if anything I would feel MORE powerless after this, not less.
Charles Lopez
Kat has new hairstyles all the time though ...
Ian Mitchell
>The problem is that Kat didn't do ANYTHING.
... So building a robot bird and sending it through time to rescue her best friend doesn't count as doing something, huh?
>How did this help her with her issues of feeling powerless?
Presumably, she now understand that sometimes shit just fucking happens, and that having a nervous fit over it is bad for one's health. She learned to chill the hell out. You should consider following suit.

>build a robot bird for fun
>it's coincidentally the time travel bird which saves Annie
>asks her mom about it
>mom hooks her up with literal norse gods
>norse gots let her play with her bird drone in the time pool because ???
She didn't really do a lot, everything was handed to her.
Joseph Kelly
What leads you to believe I'm not chill?
And she didn't send the bird back in time. The norns did.
William Price
Kat:"And I've come to understand that so many problems can be solved... with one little push."
Paz: "What do you mea-"
Carson Watson
I, too would like to see Kat and Paz playing in the water.
Jeremiah Lewis
>What leads you to believe I'm not chill?
The constant whining is a bit of a clue.
>The norns did.
No, Kat did. The Norns just let her use the pool. What, did you want her to build a time machine? How, and with what?
Wyatt Harris
>No, Kat did. The Norns just let her use the pool.
user.... Anybody could have done it. Even Annie, as stupid as she is, could have done it if she had a device with a remote control. The extraordinary part wasn't that the bird was moving in remote, it was that it moved across time, and she's 0% responsible for that happening.
Luis Gutierrez
Because the people that do that are incompetent hacks
Brody King
To be fair, she did (SOMEHOW) figure out that she could copy the bird by offsetting it by a small amount of time.
Carter Jones
>The problem is that Kat didn't do ANYTHING
That was kind of the point. Kat was agonizing over how to deal with these seemingly insurmountable problems with the knowledge she absolutely had to do this impossible thing or else Annie would die. In fact, she had to because she already did it. She felt trapped and weighed down by all this responsibility to do all these things.
That's why Annie's advice at the end of chapter 76 was so impactful to me: Annie just convinced her to fucking open up to her mom because Kat is a fucking teenager with all this angst and issues and just needed some perspective from her supportive mother. It revealed to Kat that all these things she felt so trapped by had actual, easy solutions if she just sought out help from people who might be able to provide it. Instead of trying to do absolutely everything herself. She was both overthinking her problem and her responsibilities because she had too narrow a focus on her own experiences and perspective. When all she had to do was talk to someone about it.
Gunnerkrigg Court has a lot of this sort of stuff, where problems get built up and focused on by the cast but in the end they're still just prideful kids flailing around and a lot of the time they just need to take a breath, listen to some advice, and go on about their lives.
