Gunnerkrigg Court/WMG: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

 

== The Court is a branch or rival of the [[SCP Foundation]] ==

They study mysterious energies powering gods-knows-how-many mysterious items, they have a reality warper ''and'' a power nullifyer, a half-fire elemental, a Valkyrie, a teleporter, a guy with [[Homestuck|all of the luck (all of it)]], a pair of pan-dimentional sapient crabs, various AIs, a captured nature spirit, a minotaur, at least two ghosts, a dragon (formerly), one very mysterious and heavy lady, not to mention strained diplomatic relations with a physical god, elves, fairies, and other magical beings.

 

 

Judging from the recent story about students finding the {{spoiler|C}}U{{spoiler|R}}SED INSTRUMENTS room, the Court's containment procedures are horrible. It's amazing they haven't caused an XK world-ending-event yet.

* Tom Siddell is [[Ship Tease|evil]].

* A recent Formspring question answered by the author:

Yes Kat thinks Annie is very attractive }}

** ...and Kat is a [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=770 natural-born shipper].

 

Second, consider Jones' warning: "Coyote is no liar. Therein lies the danger." Apparently Coyote, the Trickster, deceives others by creative and selective use of the truth, rather than through outright lies. In light of this, [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=498 Coyote's description of these gifts] becomes rather ominous:

Ysengrin, too. I gave him power over the trees, but look how he shakes like an '''old man'''! }}

Coyote's words clearly ''imply'' that he doesn't know why Rey and Y's gifts were imperfect, but ''he doesn't say so outright''.

 

== Annie's eye-shadow is protection from supernatural evil. ==

 

== Annie refused to kill the regional fairies partly because of her grudge against the psychopomps. ==

== "Divine" isn't about Zimmy rescuing Annie, it's about Kat getting over what other people think about her ==

Any argument Kat can make to Zimmy and Gamma is bound to backfire:

'''Zimmy''': Does your mind ''poison reality'' if she's not there? ''etc.'' }}

Kat's lucky that Zimmy and Gamma are just amused at how silly she's being instead of dangerously insulted like Jeanne was with Parley.

== About the sigils. ==

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who didn't notice that the sigils used in the "sky messages" can be seen as a very abstract way of representing certain messages and ideas. Cubish tripod shapes that vaguely look like computer monitors, flowing lines that resemble giant bird-ish shapes... ect.

[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}480 This page] shows the same sigils, but sent up in the opposite order. This means that the sigils being used change meaning based on when they are sent. Specifically: these mean "can a representative come" and "a representative can come". }}

[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/index2.php?show_id=874 On this page], the shape looks a lot like Khepi and her hair. It could mean something like "Tree-mother" or "Protector Matron". The hair looks like it is curling around a dot, which could represent one of her children. In this case, the sigil could mean something like "Protector Matron welcomes you" or "Protector Matron will house you". [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=833 The flowing symbol] on the blue banner with the dot on the end looks a bit like the one used when we see Khelpi. Considering the streamers, I wouldn't be surprised if it the flowing with the dot did mean "welcome".
