Gunnerkrigg Court

I bring it up every so often.

And Tony is a really good example. I remember how we were all in the words of another user, "Fuck Tony" before and now it's "Fuck, Tony..."

Hey, I still think he's an outright jackass. That's not changed, even if the emphasis is on different parts of the whole idiot-prick package.

Tony will get a sacrificial redemption when little Annie orphans herself.

I still think Tony should pay for what he has done. Just like I think Coyote should eventually be faced with karma for what he has done.

So Coyote Annie will swing her scythe but Tony will push the defeated Kat out of the way. The shock frees her of the possession and they have that father daughter talk hand in hand posthumously.

Tony is already paying for what he's done. What more can you do to him that won't also hurt Annie? Serious question.

Totally excise him from Annie's life.

Annie will receive from her father in death the closure he never gave her in life.

I am skeptical that totally excising her remaining parent from her life wouldn't cause Annie distress.

Nah, she has way better father figures who aren't shits.

yes but this is her actual father

Yes, but she gives a shit about Tony. That's the whole reason his staggering emotional incompetence has been fucking her up the way it has. If she could just decide that he was a dingus and she wasn't going to feel a personal connection to him, his dingusosity would be about as big an issue as, say, early Winsbury's.

Right, that's why the ideal endgame is Annie coming to terms with this and doing the excising.

Are we still talking from a 'make Tony suffer' standpoint? Because he agrees that he shouldn't be part of her life, so he wouldn't be hurt by that.

Tony's life shall flash before Annie eyes as she's escorting his soul.

I thinking more of a "there should be consequences for his actions" thing rather than "specifically he should tread on hot coals barefoot" thing.

I really just see Tony as a broken shell of a man who almost killed his daughter and doesn't know how to properly atone for that.

As for Annie's cheating, he was legit about that. She was cheating and she got off easy.

As for the rest of her situation, isn't that Court Ordered... by the Court heads who got tired of Annie being a factor they couldn't control?

"Either you get your daughter in line or we kick her out and banish her from her friends" was their reasoning I believe.

It's not necessarily what he did that was wrong, but how he did it. He didn't get in contact with her before arriving. He didn't explain why he was back. He kicked her out of the class for doing something that reminded them both of her mother. He publicly shamed her. Finally, he probably doesn't even realize any of that was wrong, which is just as bad. No words of greeting, explanation for his actions, no meaningful interaction afterward, nothing.

I don't really want to see him punished anymore than he already was and is still being punished, but there were better ways he could have handled that if he wasn't a Tonybot with buggy emotional software installed.

...Are those guys robots inside hazmat suits?

-_- Seriously?

...are they partying?

It actually makes a sort of sense, considering that Coyote tried to smuggle in a seed when he came to meet with the Headmaster.

And if Coyote is smuggling anything. It can't be good.

Did Smitty just call the Fairy Snuffle?
