- The disclaimer before the D.O.L.L.Y. arc actually mentioned that it was. It wasn't clear if it was referring to that arc in particular, or the full story.
- You know what? Let's make that a theory. Perhaps Anne just happens to be bisexual.
- But Anne didn't seem that turned on during Slumber Party of Doom. I think it's more likely she's just a late bloomer, or she's asexual.
- It is also possible that the author, known only as Anne Onymous (the same name as the character), is a man with gender identity issues. In this theory, the author "Anne" would be living out his fantasy of being a natural female through his comic. After all, it would help explain why so many male characters wind up turning female AND why Anne has said on a few occasions that Anne (the character) literally cannot be turned male (as it would spoil the fantasy). Not to mention that it explains why Anne Onymous insists so adamantly on remaining that way.
- Those who know won't speak. Those who speak don't know.
- Either that, or the real life answer to Jason is, explaining his Sonja issues.
- Jason is a lesbian?
- Except that Anne was turned into a male in a donation animation.
- Those are hardly canon.
- Indeed, canon states that magic users — or magic creatures, dunno — can't be gender bended. It was even a plot point involving a bet with a gnome.
- Actually, it only states that the Wotch must be female, which later turns out to mean she can't be genderbended. Presumably this applies to the Worlock as well, but there's no mention if it applies to other magical creatures.
- Nope, that particular character was unable to cast, and immune to, all magic.
- Milo Happerbasket ( the owner of the magic shop ) IS canonically immune to magic, because he didn't turn into anything during the outbreak of the Mythos virus and during the arc where everyone age\gender swaps, Milo explicitly says that magic does not affect him. Magic does affect Anne, and Anne was turned into a boy during the Adventures in Babysitting arc, although that was an Imp's doing....
- Spoilers ahoy! Except she wasn't. At the end of that arc, its revealed than Anne was just wearing boys clothes, but had always been a girl
- Indeed, canon states that magic users — or magic creatures, dunno — can't be gender bended. It was even a plot point involving a bet with a gnome.
- Or she's just a Perky Goth.
- Yvonne gets Put on a Bus (at least for now). Easiest, but least satesfying solution.
- Xaos offers to tell Yvonne everything, in exchange for joining him.
- Yvonne dives even deeper into the mystery on her own, accidently breaking something.
- Yvonne attempts to Destroy the world. Or at least all magic on earth.
- Yvonne does something comletely unexpected.
Option one has the temporary benefits of staving off Cerebus Syndrome by having Something Completely Diffrent happen, but it may be taken as a sign of Jumping the Shark. if prolonged indefinitely. As said before, it may only be temporary until we the author can figure out a better way
It may be too early to tell, but Option two looks feasible. The only problem is that this sort of thing has happened far, far too often to be taken seriously. Expect a subversion or deconstruction if this does happen. May be the start (or continuation?) of the comic's Cerebus Syndrome.
Option three could work as a quick and easy solution, ending with Yvonne being restored to Ivan, and him joining the team for good. Or possibly things might get worse.
Option four is far, far too extreme to be seriously considered. Of course, it could work out that Yvonne could take up Xaos's mantle and try to destroy the world after defeated, but I don't think that's very likely, as a final confrontation with Xaos seems too far in the future.
- Yvonne basically has nothing to lose now, which makes her very dangerous indeed. I could easily see a scenario number 3 in the works, but with this author, it seems equally likely that everyone comes to accept the change, and there's signs of that happening already with the other two in Yvonne's situation.
- There would be a reason for Yvonne to proceed with caution - fear of bringing more harm to Julie and Scott. He/She already is very guilt-ridden over what happened to them and would no doubt want to avoid further damage (especially since Miranda basically threatened death or at least a much more serious curse should Yvonne cause any more trouble).
- Variation on idea two: After Miranda's treatment of him, Ivan will not only be in prime shape to be convinced (with some carefully-placed half-truths, deceptions, and outright lies in a context he has no solid footing on) that Xaos and his crew are the good guys, but will turn out to actually know something that they didn't. They might even have the means to, er, fix his gender — that would cap off their case. However, carrying the scenario further, Ivan (curious fellow that he is) will learn the truth at a crucial moment and undermine Xaos' plans in the name of An Undestroyed Earth. ... Hey, it could happen.
A likely scenario for number five above; One day, Yvonne approaches Anne and her friends, and hands them a piece of paper with every secret he knows about them written on it. The paper promptly explodes, and the three begin their transformation into girls and a boy. Of course, Anne's magic becomes less powerful, and Miranda notices, and wonder why it is. Yvonne come in, and reveals that he gave Anne a share in his curse, turning her into a girl and thus negating her wotch magic since only girls can be wotches, and one wotch can't counter another wotch's curse. Yvonne doesn't know this, but he demands the curse be removed anyways, because his friends deserve to suffer just as much as Anne does. Miranda begrudgingly complies. Anne is completely shocked at Miranda's behavior, but she's not finished yet. Miranda asks what's to stop her from putting the curse back on Ivan again. Ivan replies that he's scheduled a press conference, and while it's admittedly not very large, it's enough that if he talks, everybody will have their genders bent and magic will be revealed to the world. He then reveal his origin story; that he's in Tandy under the witness protection program after his father, a reporter, failed to succumb to threats from gangsters and was killed putting the right to free speech above everything else. He gives an impassioned speech worthy of Captain America about how this is too big, and the people of the world have a right to know about magic. He finishes by coldly stating that if she wants to keep magic a secret, he'll have to kill him. With a zap, Miranda apperantly does so. Anne, more than a little upset by this, finally masters her teleporting skills, and teleports Miranda to Mexico. She then puts a barrier around Tandy to stop Ms. West from coming back.
Later, Ms. West calls in Cassie and tells her she noticed how powerful she is, and offers to train her if she agrees to train Anne via periodically attacking her in various magic ways (like what Xaos is doing). Cassie asks why she should help her since she killed Ivan. Miranda replies that she didn't kill him, Anne just teleported her away before she could explain. She sent him to a dimension where magic is everyday, and thus not a big secret. It turns out, that Ivan has been sent to Xaos' dimension, and has joined the freedom fighters as chief information gatherer.
When he is next seen, he will have a new waredrobe (possibly an invisibility cloak), a fancy gun, and he will be Anibelle's boyfriend.
- Well, there's already a non-canon crossover.
- Their art styles are only similar early on. As time goes on, Dan's art vastly improves while Anne's remains mainly the same. If Anne was Dan, the art in both comics would have evolved in the same way, but they haven't. Also, EGS would have joined 910CMX much sooner, or The Wotch would have stayed on Keenspot.
- it's possible that Dan just doesn't want to be recognized as Annie Onymous and so makes its art style progress at a different rate, or just doesn't like having to take the pains that he does with drawing egs with a second comic
