Gunnerkrigg Court/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** For all of his terribleness, Boxbot has a noticeable following. He even got an entry in the GKC wiki before Tom himself!

* [[Epileptic Trees]]: Half the reason for posting on the forum. So common that Tom occasionally calls them out in [[The Rant]].

'''[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}336 Tom]:''' Those guys in panel 4 are not Aly, and they are not Annie's dad in disguise, nor are they the girl from the photo, or transgendred clones of Annie's mom sent back in time to act as spies. }}

* [[Fan Dumb]]: There were a few extremist [[Les Yay]] fans who freaked out over [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=926 Chapter 34 - Page 25] and started calling Tom a [[Heteronormative Crusader]] or an outright homophobe, earning the rage of every other fan. Cue the next few pages and a healthy dose of foot-in-mouth disease for those fans.

** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the Year 9 chapters thus far, which have had Kat acting like a scorned lover, getting concerned about a potential boyfriend for Annie, and being [[Mistaken for Gay]] by Paz and Renard both.

* [[Mary Sue]]: From Tom's [http://twitter.com/gunnerkrigg twitter]:

* [[Memetic Mutation]]:

** [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=410&page=1 Boxbot is terrible].

** Some felt that {{spoiler|Jack}} crossed the line somewhere in Ch 27. [[Not Himself]] applies, however.

* [[Never Live It Down]]: There are ''readers'' who will never seem to be able to live down not recognizing Eglamore when he showed up in [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=370 Chapter 17]. Now, almost every time he shows up, Tom feels the need to specifically explain who he is.

"[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}859 It's this guy! (It's Basil, not Eglamore) ]" }}

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]:

* [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]:

** The two main anvils of both parts of ''Spring Heeled'' (chapters 27 and 28) is that you shouldn't take all the problems for yourself, and that you shouldn't distrust adults just because one of them [[Parental Abandonment|did something bad to you]]. Annie spends the entirety of both episodes dealing with {{spoiler|Jack's possession by the etheric spider}}, without telling anyone about the fact. Once {{spoiler|Jack activates the Power Station, traps Reynardine with a device built by the Donlans and escapes}}, Jones makes her appearance. Once they're all back in the Court, she lets Annie to deal with {{spoiler|Jack's situation}}, only for Jones to give Annie a lesson based on this anvil, after all is said and done:

** Also, near the end of ''Chapter 28: Spring Heeled: part II'', there's this bonus anvil about labeling others based on ignorance, fear and misunderstanding.

'''Jones:''' A label commonly applied to what is feared and misunderstood. Don't forget that you are known as "the demon Renard" to many people. }}

** ''Chapter 29: A Bad Start''. Kat (still affected by the events of ''Chapter 25: Sky Watcher And The Angel'') rescues a pidgeon. She then brings it to Paz, where she and another Robot do some tests on him. Later, they enter into a room with many cells holding abandoned mice, and Kat breaks herself in tears. Cue this anvil dropped in dialogue form over pages [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=755 755] and [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=756 756]:

'''Paz:''' Thas right! And with your help, and bobby and me, he will grow up to be beautiful. }}

** At the end of ''Chapter 30: The Coward Heart'', {{spoiler|Parley}} learnt two lessons: don't be shy to admit your own feelings to the ones you love, and acting [[Tsundere|in a rude way]] achieves nothing.
