Maybe Annie is warping the dream world with her own desires in some way. Like, this is what she wishes would've happened with Tony, so she's manifesting it. I do think Ysengrin is acting more like a stereotypical nice dad vs his actual blunt personality here. Maybe this has actually been established in the comic, lol, I don't know.
I'm not following the story currently so I have little idea what's actually going on beyond "they're all in a dream world," but the concept of Annie going through a version of The Tree where her dad is Ysengrin instead of Tony and he pulls her aside after class to ask if she's okay and offer her support if she needs it... Man! Not sure what Tom is getting at here, but there's definitely a lot going on. I like that Ysengrin is being pretty explicitly established as a father figure here (it does make previous events feel kinda Freudian though), but it's more than a little sad that all of Annie's dads or pseudo-dads have been abusive or violent to her in some way at some point. That's not a criticism of the comic, it just makes me sad for Annie.
check out gunnerkrigg 3270 and the following pages
OUCH. I don't even know how to feel about this. So much going on here. This being a direct callback to The Tree except Annie's dad is actually nice to her here? Ysengrin erupting into a flaming monster with gigantic teeth and Annie's not afraid of him and hugs him? Ysengrin as a literal monster vs Tony as a metaphorical one? The bitter catharsis of this being a version of The Tree where Annie is treated kindly except this is just a dream world and The Tree was real?
Something about the contrast between these pages...
God!!! This one hurt. Not even sure what else to say here. Actually, I will say that it's interesting how both versions of this story draw attention to her father figure's false right hand. Not sure what to make of all this except, once again, OW!
I used to find the commentary on here interesting, but I needed to take a huge step back from both this blog and your discord community because of, as others have mentioned, some of the wild and parasocial speculations about Tom and Magnolia’s personal lives and politics. Fwiw, I still have my own critiques of GC. But if it’s gotten to the point where you have no desire to keep up with GC, but still keep speculating about the author with 0 evidence, I don’t see what this is for anymore.
Sorry I didn’t publish this earlier, I genuinely somehow missed it. And I’m sorry you feel that way. You’re not wrong, and I do need to rethink some of the stuff I’ve been posting here. It’s easy to get sucked into gossip, but at the end of the day that’s not what I set up the blog for at all, and it shouldn’t ever be the focus.

“Acknowledging the fact that Harry Potter franchise *exists* and that fiction containing magical schools is often compared to it” = “endorsing transphobia and murder” is one hell of a take.
Yeah lol that’s basically it. It’s a pretty wild train of thought to me. I’ve been skimming the Something Awful thread and this seems to be the prevailing opinion, though? Like, everyone seems to agree Tom is tacitly giving a thumbs-up to JKR by mentioning HP. I really don’t think I could ever be convinced this is true, but it’s not a hill worth dying on either. If people are upset, they have a right to feel that way.
I do think accusing Tom of anything more than tone-deafness would be excessive and unfair, though. To me, Tom has earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to LGBT issues. He’s been nothing but LGBT-friendly in the past, even 20 years ago when it wasn’t necessarily as easy to be.
There's a mention of Harry Potter in the latest page (Monday 20th, May) and it's really making me side-eye the author. Is Tom really not up-to-date with JKR's terf reputation?? I know some people aren't, and he left Britain before she went so full mask off plausible deniability no longer covered her, but I thought either he or Magnolia would know by now???
He and Magnolia seem very online. No way he doesn't know.
That being said, I feel like people have been saying Gunnerkrigg is just Harry Potter as a comic for like the past 20 years, so I don't really have a problem with this page?? It's poking fun at the comic being compared to another work, not endorsing anything about it. JKR sucks, but "let's never mention this insanely popular franchise ever again and cancel anyone who makes reference to its existence" is, to me, a super unrealistic and silly way to approach this situation.
God I wish I was interested in Gunnerkrigg still. But I check back in on the main page every now and then and I'm just... not. I don't care about anything that's happening, I don't find it interesting or fun or weird or charming, it's just all so nothing. Why is Parley skinny now. Have they been giving Parley Ozempic. Do I care to find out. Not really
