Gunnerkrigg Court

Don't blue balls us here Tom. Kill the man. Put him out like a hero. Make this arc have a sacrifice.

Kat is gonna bap him again, except this time she is a robot goddess. Kat is gonna wreck him.

>>89399868
Smitty should be fine with this. Goes out like a hero saving his buff waifu. The strongest girl still has to be saved by the man she loves, at the cost of his life.

>>89399852
That last panel with her definitely isn't accidental... and she still has the mini arrow in her pocket. Not to mention the real arrow in a box. Kat is very dangerous right now.

>>89399920
Welcome to the table, Miss Donlan

Smitty is going to die because Annie stopped to try and convince the unflappable, jerkass psychopomps.

>>89399822
Just murder all the psychopomp Kat, that way Annie will have total monopoly on taking people to the ether.

>>89399943
Smitty is going to live because Kat stopped to try and convince the unflappable, jerkass psychopomps.

>>89399822
Annie, let them go to the hospital. It's not like psychopomps aren't allowed inside, yet

>>89399822
Are they actually able to not take the soul? Like, I know its their job but if something isn't in their way can they just refuse? I mean they didn't take Annie's mom because she had nothing left to take and they stopped trying to take murder bitch because she would just kill them. If they are not impeded can they just say nah?

I also can kinda see it from the psychopomps perspective. They never asked her to do this. The gang decided this was something that needed to be done on their own terms. Plus Annie is totally a "give her a inch she takes a mile" person. Give in now and she'll hound you forever.

>>89400098
We saw it happen with Mort and the RotD.
Mort ended up as a ghost.

>>89399822
Wait, please, I can fix this!
Hahaha, Annie, you dumb cunt, move over and let a superior being talk to them.

>>89400098
>They never asked her to do this.
They literally asked her to do it, man. Though I say "literally," the comic actually shows they never directly asked her for help. Merely said they needed it, and then let her do the rest. Buncha sly buggers.

The reasons the psychopomps can't interfere is because it seems their roles are super narrow. They only usher souls back to the ether. They apparently can't do anything to the physical world, even if it would actually be a part of their jobs. Jeanne, for instance, seemed to be rooted to the world through a combination of whatever they shot elf dude with and the power of love. Even though doing something about it is basically their job, they were still constrained by their rules. And that Jeanne would fucking kill them if they got close enough to do anything.

Dropped the page.

>>89400234
Yeah. They dodged around directly asking for help because of their roles but now they're using it to worm out of a deal.

>>89399868

What edit?

>>89400314
>worm out of a deal
What deal?
Why should they save Smitty?
Annie has literally no grounds to stand on. She's just some stupid girl. Her biggest claim to fame is that her mum Harry Potter'd her into existence.

Let the actual goddess that is present figure this out.

>>89400457
Better yet, I'd want the literal goddess to slap Annie and take Smit to a hospital, but that's not gonna happen ... :(

>>89400457
Well less 'deal' and more common courtesy of helping somebody who got hurt whilst doing them a favour.

Like really, why shouldn't they save Smitty? Rules and order went out of the window with the whole Jeanne problem. If anything, Smitty dying before his time from it, is more disruptive.

>>89400518
They shouldn't help him because Annie is an entitled little shit.
Tony needs more time to raise her properly.

>>89400557
Tony is her worst dad tho

>>89399868
Kat going Kenshiro on Muut?

>>89400565
Says someone who is in support of her talking like this right now?

>>89400234
>they were still constrained by their rules

>>89400255
>"since when do you bend the rules"
So they are completely physically capable of doing so, any argument they have to not help Smitty when he was helping do exactly what they wanted Annie to do is bullshit

psychopomps confirmed assholes and/or just really fucking dumb

>>89400606
Bend, not break. They had to have an intermediary hand off the Blinker Stone to Annie. That's about as far they go to skirt the line. Best they could do here, probably, is act as instant messengers to get some help quick.

Makes you wonder exactly what prevents them from just out and out interfering, given what we know about this setting's metaphysical makeup.

>>89400606
No, You're the dumbass.
The psychopomps don't have any obligation to help this entitled child not lose her friend she got killed.
She doesn't even show remorse, she's just bitching at them and sees it as a personal insult as her friend is dying. She's so fucking full of herself that she feels the need to keep them from taking him to the hospital so that SHE can save him.
Why the fuck should they help her?
If they helped such an entitled little shit, they'd have to help literally anyone else in the world to save their friends from death, which is kind of antithetical to their whole thing.

>>89399822
Kat's about to school some psychopomps.

>>89400671
>The psychopomps don't have any obligation to help this entitled child not lose her friend she got killed.
see>>89400255
They almost begged for her to help Jeanne. i don't think she is acting entitled, there.
>She doesn't even show remorse,
Uh? She clearly feel super responsible for Smitty.
>she's just bitching at them and sees it as a personal insult as her friend is dying.
No, seh want to save his friend life. that's quite clear. And she is angry because they won't.
>Why the fuck should they help her?
Because she just managed to resolve a problem none of them could that was a sore thorn on their side.
>If they helped such an entitled little shit, they'd have to help literally anyone else in the world to save their friends from death, which is kind of antithetical to their whole thing.
Smity was hurt because he helped them solving a problem they asked help for. They are the one who came to them in the first place, it's in no way a "if we help him we have to save everyone" case. They are responsible for this situation in the first place.

>>89400671
>Annie can never be right because she's terrible!
>Entities that are obviously being assholes are justified because it's Annie!
>Other characters must suffer or die, just so Annie can continue to be terrible!

Okay anon, the joke got old that half dozen threads ago. You can stop now.

>>89400810
No, seriously.
They're not humans.
Your argument for why they should save Smitty is basically 'compassion'.
They don't feel compassion, they're angels of death.

>>89400860
These guys aren't space aliens, they're constructs from human psyche. They have the same range of emotions as anybody else.

>>89400860
>Your argument for why they should save Smitty is basically 'compassion'.
Uh, no, the argument is actually "accountability" and owing to the consequence of your actions and request.

None here talked about compassion.

>>89399822
Is Kat about to go machine goddess on the pyschopomps?

>>89400909
Okay.
You are anybody else.
Imagine this.
You just took your ten-billionth soul to the ether.
The departed was a loving father and husband who was unjustly killed and you take him away from his wailing family as they are huddled over him.
Do you do
A: The same goddamn thing you've done literally thousands of times in this exact situation before
or
B: Freak the fuck out, let the guy not move on and break the laws of nature?
>>89400920
>accountability
They're not a business, they're gods.
What do they have to be accountable for?
What do they have to lose?
This is a stupid point you made.

>>89400936
Probably not since she's still unaware of her powers. She does have her ether wand and an arrow that can trap a soul though.

>>89400936
Obviously.
And once they realize they're facing a superior being they will most likely fold to her demands.

>>89400975
Again, 'laws of nature' are out the window when they got hurt doing your job. Smitty and Parley would be up top in the court dorms, fucking eachother's brains out if they didn't lump the Jeanne job on mortals.

Yeah I guess gods don't have to be accountable but they doesn't stop them being assholes for it.

>>89401033
The job got done. It's over.
Why should they still help?

>>89401045
To not be assholes?

>>89401061
So, no reason, then.

>>89400975
>They're not a business, they're gods.
>What do they have to be accountable for?
>What do they have to lose?
>This is a stupid point you made.
They asked for a favor, it's normal to expect to get something in return. Annie is certainly not entitled for expecting that. they even say themselves what he did was an huge fucking deal.
>You just took your ten-billionth soul to the ether.
>The departed was a loving father and husband who was unjustly killed and you take him away from his wailing family as they are huddled over him.
Missing hte point, there. In Annie Case, the reason Smitty is hurt is directly due to them asking them for help. They share responsibility in his current state. Unlike the father, who didn't die because of them. The Psychopomp are part of the reason he is being hurt.

Plus again, an other difference, none of the fahter familly managed to give an huge service to the psychopomp like annie did.

>What do they have to lose?
Annie becoming a Psychopomp. that's something they have wanted for a long time and it' clear they are losing her if they do no take responsibility for their involvement.
>>89401045
Because they are part of the reason Smity was help. He wouldn't have been hurt if they didn't ask for help. also, becaus eAnnie just helped them in a huge problem, to expect something in return is perfectly normal.
>The job got done.
Yeah, a payment is usually expected in return for a job done.

Again, Annie's request make perfect sense.

Wait, so Kat can see them?

>>89401750
She has every right to not back down. they are asshole and there is no reason for her to understand that they don't have to save someone they have lead themselves to injure.

Basically, their sole argument is "we are not doing it because we don't want to" it's not the kind of answer one accept.

>>89401852
Not if they don't want to. in this case, Annie or the psychompomp made themselves visible.

Earlier, she saw the psychopomp for insect and ti scared the shit out of Kat.

>>89401870
Parley can't see them in panel 1.

Do you think things would have played out differently in the webcomic (and on these threads) if the psychopomps said they COULDN'T help instead they WON'T?

>>89401896
Kat can't see them either for now.

>>89401750

There are vaild arguments both ways anon, but they HAVE bent the rules before, whats stopping them from bending them here?

They dont even have to outright heal Smitty, just instantly take him somewhere they know will likely will result in him getting better while also not collecting his soul right away. Boom problem solved, they didn't technically interfere, they technically payed Annie back, and Smitty has at least higher chances of surviving.

This is the problem with writing beings who exist on logic, someone somewhere will come up with a better solution than most writers could.

>>89402497
Thing is, I just don't think they give a fuck.

>>89402561
Unrelated.

>>89401852

Yes. And now I'm wondering WHAT she's seeing them as, cause that's trouble waiting to happen along with holding the arrow.

>>89402789
Well she has met some before, and it seemed like they looked like that to her, too.

>>89402789
Last time she saw them just fine.

>>89402850
>>89402855

But did she see things the same way in the past as now? I thought the talent she showed breaking down the Jeanne trap is new.

>>89401852
Read the fucking comic, you nob!

It's not a psychopomp's job or within their domain to just heal injured people and prevent them from dying. Tough luck Annie, you FUCKED UP big time.

I've been thinking. Parley's teleport power is activated by her thinking about her love for Smitty, right? So if he dies would that hamper her teleportation?

>>89403455
>Parley's teleport power is activated by her thinking about her love for Smitty, right?
No, her control of it is enhanced by Smitty's ability.
>So if he dies would that hamper her teleportation?
Yes. Duh.

>>89403455
Only at the beginning. She wasn't very good at controlling her power when it manifested and emotions set it off. Smitty's power help her control it but as of 'Parley and Smitty are in this one', she seemed to use them on her own quite well. She only needed Smitty to teleport to a location she didn't know.

But yeah, Smitty's death may have a negative effect on her concentration.

Their refusal kind of reminds me of this.

rather indirect though
they asked a ghost to interact with her for them, did Mort say it was the psychopomps that gave him the blinker stone or did asking him to give it to her embody the entirety of their activity?

The main thing is that they're not saying that 'can not' because of any rules or restrictions but they 'will not' because they owe Annie nothing.
