Maiden, Mother, Moron

Jenny: "It's either your crush or get crushed, Sylvie"

Oh that is not comfort, that is pressure. Jenny making clear they aren’t friends, she is in charge of this coven.

Just a silly little girl who dreamt of flying naked and free on her broomstick above the clouds and didn’t realize how miserably cold it is up there and she’s getting splinters in her nether bits trying to hold on to the stick.

Huh. I'm starting to suspect *somebody's* being manipulated into doing something potentially dangerous... =o.0;=

Zara and Rosa are looking at each other again, even if in another way than on Page 3125. Perhaps they had a similar experience like Annie turning out to be different in real life than they had been told (Page 3128).

Ah, there it is. But Tom, Sylvie's incisors seem to have receded slightly. I appreciate her face will be a lot less relaxed than it was in previous scenes, but panel six is the only one here with even a hint her dentition isn't what Americans would consider normal.

Also: good work, whoever made the Airplane! reference in Monday's comments. Aposite given Jenny's bedside manner.

Such a Witch!

Oh they're like, a thing, aren't they?

Noa is still alive? Ghost? Robot? Doll?

No pressure! :)

i kinda hope sylvie hasnt actually done anything irredeemable (idk if she was involved with omega's murder) cause god she is freakin adorable. also wheres her cute lil buckteeth on this page??

Wow, really pulling on her feelings for Noa there, huh. I guess we viewers weren't the only ones who noticed...

Okay so for ages I thought the other people in the comments were misreading Jenny as doing some dark-patterned darvo/gaslighting style manipulation stuff. This absolutely clears that up for me. Thank you Tom

"Wanna impress your wannabe golem girlfriend?"

Odds are things have already gone horribly wrong but the wave function collapse hasn't caught up yet.It started when Annie and company entered Zimmy's fantasy world.

We work on production!!

The beast inside

Poor Sylvie is so used to Zimmy's negative constructs, she can't handle her positive constructs.

Sylvie needs a redemption arc now.

But hey, no pressure!

Yeah, no pressure, just do it like you should have thought about it from the beginning. Mistake? Pfff. What mistake? Jenny doesn't even know what she's talking about.

I wonder if there’s some kind of relationship between Noa and Sylvie

Has there, at any time or space in the universe, been a more manipulative and toxic person than this woman here?

So, is her work the orb? (unlikely, as Rosa is using and calibrating it) or something we haven't seen yet? The red "monster" that chased the Carver Crew seemed to be her doing, some kind of "vehicle".

There is miscommunication here: Jenny treats it as a discipline problem, but Sylvie likely genuinely thinks she made a mistake, and would be satisfied only with a deep discussion of her actions, morality etc.

Yay! And another Lesbian confirmed!

Jenny feels like a good foil to Annie atp

Should we call her "Jennipulator"?

what's she even do?

Love Jenny simultaneously reassuring and upping the pressure on poor untested Sylvie, kinda like how Jim Jones could get people to do jobs they've never done before with sheer encouragement ("you're not a bus driver, now you're a bus driver!" -Last Podcast's Jonestown series - And you're driving everyone from the Midwest to California!). • Sylvie's so freaked out she overwhelmed the eyeshadow that makes characters look calm, mature, even a bit bored.

Jenny has so few concerns, I'm beginning to suspect she's not who she seems to be (beyond what we've already seen)

"Relax. You're our last hope in this high-stakes situation. Relax. Everthing is riding on you. Relax."

My Theories!

Jenny: Ignore the side effects of your theories, we need you and the group always comes first. Everything will be fine.

Ahh, the old "make my friends work for me and they have to pay for it"-mindset.

I like this page. It's making me go "ohhhhhhh no oh no I DON'T like THIS at all!!" Which is cool.

You made the mistake of buddying up with psychopaths, dear

Eh, not tested? What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Wait, the one with suspenders, didn't her spine come alive in a different webcomic series?

Sylvie's teeth look better now.

Way to ease the pressure jenny

No pressure!

oh cool cool cool nothing like telling someone who's inexperienced and freaking out that all their friends' lives are counting on them. Totally cool not at all the worst thing a manipulative jerk could ever do

Sylvie is cute and Jenny is a monster. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Oh, well, that's a good way to make her less nervous. What is even the goal of these witchy teens, anyway?

I don't think you're succeeding at taking the pressure off Jen.

Osh

A contingency even the witches fear. Excited to find out more!

Do any of these guys know how to be actual emotional support because this is the opposite

What could her research have been? I thought it was about constructs/monsters, but now it sounds like her theory was about how to create pocket universes? So experiencing Zimmyland would be her theory in practice. And she doesn't like it, for some reason. I wonder what "it" is and how "it" feels to her. BTW, they better bring out the gatorade pretty soon, now two people are sweating bullets.

Rosa: you seeing this shit??

little cult flags goin up again, whew

Jenny "the manipulative one" gunnerkrigg giving a healthy and unbiased pep talk

right... how comforting

I just wanted to tell you, we're all counting on you. Good Luck. No pressure.

I knew she wasn't a good person, but she's really laying it on thick here. Instead of trying to reassure her or anything, she's just redirecting her attention to what she can do for the good of the coven.

I am above the mantle

Hooo boy. She's the backup plan, eh? Looks like she has powers specific to the Zimmyverse. That would explain her taking the shape of one of the monsters.
