TWO ANNIES ENTERONE ANNIE LEAVES
>>153164582>>153137733AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>153164582It's happening! Oh shit! Oh FUCK!
>>153164582fuck it really is 2annies.
>>153164582It would be so funny if this was a soft reboot leading to 20 chapters of high school hijinks.
>>153164582I like perfect Zimmy world a lot. Neat detail that her bed hair still looks beautiful. Sadly still no confirmation one way or another that the two Annies are back.
I never cared about the two Annies.
>>153164582>stand with light on the left ide of bed isnt therethere really is two annies arent there
>>153164582>NPC-colored text bubbleI guess if he wanted to edge the surprise he'll just switch it after the reveal. I'm mentally preparing to get rug-pulled though.
>>153164609>>153164612It could still be a fake Tony talking, let's not get carried away and disappointed later.
>>153164619Get this faggot outta here
hope one of them is a tomboy
>>153164601No man. That's one Annie. You don't show them both waking up but only show one getting dressed.No exchange with or action from other Annie all through the process of getting ready? Get real.
>>153164633I don't think we've seen "fake" versions of named characters in Zimmyland. There's Zimmy, Gamma, Loup, Lana, Coyote, and Ysengrin, who were all at ground zero of its creation in some form. It doesn't necessarily preclude doppelgangers from appearing, but I'd sooner suspect Red than someone who we haven't explicitly seen entering the SOL AU.
>>153164658they are parent trapped
>>153164658that's because the second one is still walking around naked after jumping out of the shower
On one hand I hate how poorly written the resolution to the whole twin annies things wasOn the other I think the twin annies fags in this thread are fucking retarded and would love seeing them all disappointed after hyping themselves up
I haven't read this in 20 years, did Annie become an OL?
>>153164582That house looks very small for two Annies and their father and/or mother to be living in it...
>>153164673What the heck is an OL?
>>153164663Lol what if one Annie plays the role of mother.
>>153164663So who are the rest of the students and the teachers?
>everything is idealized from Zimmy's point of view>2 annies>Kat is an ugly looser nobody likes, Cartman style
>>153164686Beats me. The only teach that appears is Ysengrin, and the only students that are even shown with faces are the characters I mentioned. They could very well just be NPCs.
>>153164700But Kat is already an ugly loser.
>>153164708Wouldn't it be easier to copy people from the real world than to make up thousands of people from whole cloth?
>>153164658The only cope left in play is that it's not a surprise to the Annies, so they won't act off in any way. I was expecting a big yawn into looking over and seeing another you, double take, canned laughter, you get the idea. Without that angle, could just have a zoom out next page with both of them like "alright, we're ready". I go also think this is just one Annie though. In universe there's kinda no reason to "fix" that, even temporarily, especially since it was already fixed.
>>153164663Did Zimmy get a parent? I won't be surprised if we only get a disembodied voice and no actual person playing the role of guardian.
>>153164725>'fixed'
>>153164721"Easier"? It'd be easier not to create a pocket dimension at all and just make some real friends. I don't think anything we've seen of Zimmy's world has been influenced by how convenient it would be.
Reminder you could have ASKED a question about the two annies to Tom during his AMA a few months ago, but of course no one here is capable of putting two brain cells together and actually doing something instead of just complaining all the time about how you could do the story better.
>>153164700But real talk. Kat is going to be in her machine goddess form, right?
>>153164746In a school girl uniform. Yes.
>>153164733Zimmy isn't implied to have parents. She just wakes up and goes to school. The only adult so much as referenced is Ysengrin.https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=3018
>>153164742I mean, Zimmy appears to be invested in the illusion not breaking down. Whatever she did, she must have made sure that there's no inconsistencies in this world that break the illusion. I feel like the best way for her to do that would have been to populate it with people taken from the trapped individuals memories.
>>153164745Reminder that he would have lied, you disingenuous moron.
>>153164746>>153164749>moe metal angel formNice.
>>153164760She still knows it's not real. She's not delusional, she just removed the guilt she felt about the side-effects on the real world. There's nothing to suggest Zimmyland itself requires consistency with the real world. Clearly this normal school for normal people is already totally out of line with anything she or those other characters would have experienced, so any attempt to maintain an illusion fails right away. The idea that it would take real people to populate it sounds based on the unproven presumption that that's even necessary. I could see the siphoned souls of the forest kids ending up there, but we've yet to see anything like that.
>>153164762I mean, I asked a question about Omega that he answered. Could have asked a fun question about the two annies, but nah, you are a coward.
>>153164810What softball question did you ask, and what was his bullshit answer?
>>153164619I never cared about your face!
>>153164679obligate lesbian
>>153164679Office Lady>>153164673No, she's in Zimmy's dream land and she's wearing a generic British public school uniform instead of the Court's fancy boarding school uniform.
>>153164582These uniforms shouldn't be as flattering as they are. They cover everything, obscure their body shapes, but they make the girls look so... MEATY. In a good way.
>>153164679Obsessive loser
>>153164582>Annie is back to being half asleep, despite being fully awake in the last page>ambiguous wording on panel 2 that can imply the speaker is also being late>missing end table on the left side of the bedTwo Annie bros, we are so back!Ok, there are also other discrepancies that looks like actual errors, so all this 'proof' might also be just that.
>>153164798Silly take.This world is flawless for a reason.Zimmy wants to stay in this world where everything's perfect and normal and safe.She and Coyote know it's not real, but not Loup and Lana.Lana was a robot all her life and clearly has some distaste for that part of her. She definitely wouldn't want to be under someone else's control again.If Loup learns that Lana is being held prisoner here, against her will, he will throw a fit. He'll fight against Coyote and Zimmy and her dreamscape will be ruined.At best you can argue that in that case Zimmy could just throw them out of the illusion, but then why is she keeping them here in the first place?Whatever the reason may be, it's definitely safe to assume that Zimmy doesn't want the illusion to break.
Whether it's two Annies or not, it's still annoying Tom is going to milk this. He better reveal it on Monday. If he did it today it would've been a great way to end the week.
>>153165016>At best you can argue that in that case Zimmy could just throw them out of the illusion, but then why is she keeping them here in the first place?She probably needs Coyote's help so it doesn't turn into her usual nightmare world. And kicking out Loup means kicking out Coyote and Ysengrin too.
Who cares about Annies give me more jones then buff George then boxbot forma de lana then uncorrupted Zimmers then ghost omega then insect god kat then shit then the annies
>>153165119With the way Tom is now it'd be best to wait and see what's happening with Annie before wanting him to mess with any other character.
>>153164582>a whole page of waking upThis is why webcomics are dead. Also>waking up>hair still fabulous I don't care that she's a fire elemental trapped in a time-space distortion, that's bullshit.
>>153165204Annie's hair is a miracle of a the universe.
>>153165204>>waking up>>hair still fabulous >I don't care that she's a fire elemental trapped in a time-space distortion, that's bullshit.That's the point, genius. Tom even put emphasis on it with the vfx.They are in a perfect Wandavision world.
>>153165016>Lana was a robot all her life and clearly has some distaste for that part of her.Pretty sure it's less that she was a robot, and more about -which- robot she was.
>>153165247Point stands. I think her agency is important to her either way.
Will Rey be Annie's boyfriend in the Zimmyscape?
When you first started reading GKC, did you ever even imagine the recurring joke character would turn out to be a cute slut?
>>153165367But Rey has always been a cute slut...
>>153165016Again, you're making a LOT of assumptions. What does "flawless" mean to you? Do you think that alarm bells would not be going off already? Do you think a wolfman teaching bullshitonomics wouldn't tip off Loup that this shit is not real, but somehow it being populated with placeholder people is just too unbelievable to him? And do you think these things for reasons we can actually see?This is a dreamscape with fuzzy details. It checks off boxes for broad "setting" details like a school, a teacher, and students, but we don't see more than one teacher or know if the teacher actually teaches anything. The only students that we see interacting, or even having faces, are the named characters we saw go in, and they spend their time hanging out and passing notes, despite half of them not even knowing each other prior, and doing nondescript "homework" for unspecified classes. You're assuming anything but the bare minimum of detail is needed for this world we're shown a bare minimum of detail for, and even if your assumptions on character motivations are correct, you're thinking very singularly on what you believe would satisfy those motivations.This is clearly a mind-altering space. There is much Loup and Lana are already not questioning, so which of the not-real things could they actually differentiate from the other not-real things as real and how? Zimmy doesn't want the illusion to break, but the "populate it with real souls" idea assumes the illusion would break otherwise. It follows logically if you assume the need for it, but the need itself is never established. The rules could very well just be to make it look normal and put in placeholders for the stuff Zimmy doesn't know or really give a shit about, but we just don't know yet. All we know is that only the named characters we see go in are featured in any detail or shown doing really anything, and their time is spent going through the motions of normalcy in a stereotypical school setting.
>>153165554no one cares chatgpt
>>153165557Adults are talking, Skippy. Go back to tiktok.
>>153164725>In universe there's kinda no reason to "fix" that, even temporarily, especially since it was already fixed.In-universe there's still a universe missing its Annie that didn't fall off the bridge. That's a pretty big reason to resolve it, especially with all the indications that prime universe Kat went evil/crazy after Annie died.
>>153164582It's one Annie you numbnuts.The external house shot is a euphemism for time passing, that's when she took a shower and combed her hair.
>>153165563aww, chatgpt is mad at getting outed so easilyno aislop clanker
>>153165554It's simpler to copy what you know than to make whatever else. In the end, Zimmy needs this world to be stable. If Annie's idea of a world they'd want to be real (so that they'd want to stay there, so that the Zimmyscape remains stable) includes a parent, it would make no sense for that parent to be some newly made up npc.
>>153165573Why even fill out a captcha for such low effort bait? I'm biting because I'm thinking you're just bored and need someone to talk to.
>>153165571>The external house shot is a euphemism for time passing, that's when she took a shower and combed her hair.Yeah?No one is arguing otherwise at all?
>>153165587Your post definitely looks like ai wrote it.
>>153165563Robots are not "adults". Don't post fucking AIslop as an argument.
>>153165585>It's simpler to copy what you know than to make whatever else.Zimmy doesn't know any of this though, and she wouldn't know enough students well enough to populate her school. Their identities really don't matter because she couldn't tell them apart anyway. And, again, we don't know if Annie's idea of anything matters here. This is a realm of complete mindfuckery where the characters are already taking things that are out of the ordinary for them at face value.>>153165597Elaborate.
>>153165608Humans don't "elaborate" to robots.
>>153165608Who is calling for Annie to get ready for school, anon?The way I see it there's five options:Other Annie, Kat, Rey, Tony or Surma.You can not tell me that it's actually Bob, an NPC from Zimmy land who Annie remembers to have been her father all her life. That's a retarded thing to even consider.
>previous thread where everyone was excited for double annie>today's thread when it hasn't been confirmed yetAt this point Tom is specifically doing this to tear us apart.
>>153165608I think his theory is completely wrong, but Zimmy can read minds
>>153165644I still want to know if they kissed or not.
>>153165571Nobody is thinks that there are two Annies on this page (Other than possibly whoever is behind the door).People think that there were two Annies last page and this one reinforces it. Like with that conspicuously missing end table.
>>153165669They didn't. Annie was surprised when Kat outed herself as a fag.
>>153165634>Who is calling for Annie to get ready for school, anon?Someone else who got pushed in? I never said an NPC would interact with the named characters. I said the opposite, in fact. The named characters have only been seen interacting with named characters. You're also assuming the character calling her is meant to be her father. Your wires are getting crossed because you're trying to assimilate everything you're reading into the unsupported belief that this world has to be 1 to 1 with anything real. You have not supported that belief except with further unsupported beliefs.
>>153165687Making out is totally normal for female friends. Like brojobs for guys.
>>153165691You sound like ai again.Anyway, I never said this was definitely Tony, just that it could be Tony INSTEAD of a second Annie.
>>153165701Oh, I see! Yeah, Annie's totally given Kat a brojob.
I fucking called it that it'd still be ambiguous today. Literally the only positive hints are the lack of the second end table and mayyyybe the panels avoiding a window angle. Tom you son of a bitch either break our hearts or make us cum.
>>153165738Why not both?
this page is extremely precise on the background items, so last page was definitely not Tom being sloppy
I find it funny how Lana was introduced with kinda spooky lighting, implying that she would be a somewhat sinister force in the story. Then she extremely wasn't.
>>153165711>You sound like ai again.You guys sound like you have never seen complete sentences written out or something. Alright, sure. It COULD be Tony. I doubt it, but I also have doubts about the second Annie. We'll see in a few days, I guess.
>>153165738It's a bunch of close-up shots of Annie that intentionally avoids the poster behind her while also showing consistent background items, with the second end table being the only thing that seems to be conspicuously missing. This looks almost intentionally framed to conceal the presence of someone else in the room while confirming that the background elements are static. In other words it's a massive fucking tease and there are either two Annies or Tom is very intentionally serving the reader around.
>>153164582It's her fucking mom taking to her
>>153165682How embarrassing for you.
>Speech bubbleProbably either Tony or Surma, I wouldn't get my hopes up for a second Annie beyond the door>"Camera" angles100% could be hiding an Annie, remember that the second bed stand was by a window and it seems to be missing here, with the angles avoiding an interior view of the window again.
>>153165557That can't be AI because it's being rude and disagreeing with what the input would be instead of saying something like "Spot-on! This world is giving real flawless vibes."
>>153164582Everyone clambering about whether or not there are two Annies, meanwhile I'm just thinking that Annie's "okaaaay" face in panel 3 is extremely erotic.
>>153166020Annie is always erotic.
>>153166020We're storing up for potential double erotic Annies next page.
>>153166020In isolation it looks like she's taking it doggy style and it's cropped off-panel
Has Annie fucked herself yet?
>>153164582Silly me, I thought for a moment the pace would accelerate above the ground speed of a glacier
>Almost 100 replies alreadyHoly fuck lmao
>>153164745What would we have even asked?"Tom why did you get rid of forest Annie? Fuck you."
>>153166619"Did the Annies fuck?"
>>153165738I guess you COULD argue that the art doesn't disprove two Annies. But that's not how to think about art.Instead, think about what choices Tom would have made if there WERE two Annies. We're following Annie right now. If she was sharing her house with a twin they would have interacted by now, and we'd see either her surprise or conspicuous lack of surprise.We'd not see one panel for each twin waking up and then follow only one twin through a time-skip with no indication that the other still exists.
>>153166695I mean I'd normally agree with you, but this could also be intentionally ignoring the other Annie to make the surprise hit harder. We'll know next week, at which point we're either getting a nuclear meltdown or the most positive thread in months.
>>153166695Other Annie has been here all along. Just off-panel for three chapters.>>153166714Is that theory congruent with one of the Annies last page being other Annie?
nothing ever happens
>>153166500It's all the same three people masturbating to the schizo idea that 2 annies is backSevere mental illness
>>153166500The fact two Annie may be back means selfcestfags who were here at the start until Tom chickened out are coming back.
>>153166965>Is that theory congruent with one of the Annies last page being other Annie?It's those darn Illuminutty! They always leave breadcrumbs!
>>153166020I mean... you're not wrong.
>>153166695>If she was sharing her house with a twin they would have interacted by nowWould they? She hasn't left her room yet, and at Tony's house both Annies had their own rooms.
>>153167122>Annie fuck me. Fuck me. Fuck me. Fuck me. FUCK. ME.
>>153166253Or is riding someone cowgirl. Either works.
>>153167122>>153166020
>>153167379PLEASE someone drawfag this. PLEASE I need it
Am I insane, or has Tom been drawing Annie sexier lately? Like, she's legal (UK legal anyway), so it's like the horny is leaking in.
