As I said, I'd be very surprised.
I mean, I understand how this can be a bit of a big deal and Kat and Paz may not have an easy time of it, but it seems kind of strange that Annie would be the focal point to discuss this.

Ah, so it's not just me then.
To be honest, the whole thing has an after-school special kind of feel to it. I understand why the anvil has to be dropped, but it...doesn't feel right.

It's also a school and world that has faeries that enroll in classes.
Who knows what those rapscallions get up to.
Not to mention the enrollment process involves death of their previous bodies.
I mean, I'm guess I'm looking through this through the lens of living in a world where Minotaurs don't live in libraries, but how strange can two human girls getting their smoochees on really be?!

Somehow this all get more ridiculous the more I think about it.
I mean, safe money is on Annie just figuring she walked in on something she didn't feel was her business necessarily and her just getting flustered and making herself scarce, but her dad made a baby with someone who was part fire elemental!
Why is Renard even bothering to play Devil's Advocate outside of a sort of generic "Humans can be dicks" sort of message?
I'm also taking a little umbrage with the suggestion that animals are somehow more accepting here.
I mean, maybe you can make a case for this rather specific situation, but it's not like it's hard to fine examples of animals being dicks to members of their own species.
i get Reynardine's point, tho, that Annie isn't from the Court; prejudices aren't always very sensible
I suppose.
But it seems like...I don't know...even entertaining the notion that Annie would have an issue here would have worked way back in the story before Kat made smoochees with a bird.

Renard's sort of been on both sides of this. On the receiving end: the Court honey-trapped him because they were afraid of what he might do (not anything he did). On the giving end: he demonized Zimmy over a condition that she can't control. (Jones called him out for this, and explicitly drew a parallel between his attitude towards Zimmy and the Court's attitude towards him.)
As far as "traditional" goes, Rey is also rather anti-science, or at least anti etheric sciences.
i expect Annie's just busy elsewhere and that's why Kat can't find her
Well, there's also the fact that she doesn't appear to have even checked their bedroom during that montage. I'm thinking Annie just went there to leave them alone for their big moment, and Kat's freaking out over nothing--but that might be too anticlimactic.

I love how every bad thing that happens to Gil in Girl Genius is just sort of a setup to show he's even more badass than everyone thought.
This kinda hurts the love triangle aspect, because while Tarvek can overcome obstacles, he usually doesn't do it in such a way that establishes that he's a crazy awesome spark.
Also, Tarvek's constant conniving doesn't really help his likability where Gil manages to project a sort of earnest aura of wanting to do the right thing; even if he doesn't always necessarily go about it in the right way.
I haven't followed GG in a while, but the love triangle never quite felt legit--Tarvek was never nearly as major a part of the story as Gil was, and his reintroduction felt somewhat, for lack of a better word, artificial, like they were retconning in a bunch of things and twisting a bunch of plot developments to make him incredibly integral to the plot and put him on par with Gil immediately.
Maybe part of that is because the whole "everyone is sick with science" sub-sub-subplot dragged on for too long, but I probably would have had more patience for that if it weren't for Tarvek.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Tarvek's technically more intelligent, but Gil's the one who feverishly-builds outrageous death-rays and battle-machines and will scream at you if he's scared.
Still not really feeling the current chapter of Gunnerkrigg, but it's nice Paz is not the issue.
I think it'd be a bit more interesting if Annie actually did have an issue with Kat and Paz.
Seeing how it turned out, it's like they introduced the possibility of homophobia just for the sake of saying "okay, yes, it exists in this world but not in a way that will define the story. Moving on..."
This Christmas, let's remember Tim Buckley's made up holiday, Winter-een-mas, which is celebrated on the last week of January and is about gamers being gamers.
In particular, let's remember the time Tim Buckley built up a Winter-een-mas storyline, then dropped this on his fans at the last minute.
It's a rather well written Superhero saga about the adventures of aspiring super-hero Taylor Hebert, who after a series of mishaps finds herself on a team of super-villains. The author has a real knack for writing interesting powers, and even for the most mundane powers he finds interesting uses for them. Taylor's power is control over insects and arachnids (and some other small critters such as crabs), but some of the things she can do with them are both interesting and at times terrifying. On top of that, the author also writes a real interesting world, and he doesn't exactly slack on the action sequences either. All in all, it's a good read.
Also, just as a warning, it does start out with a fair dose of typical high school drama, but it does peter out shortly thereafter. There's also a slight twist to the drama that I don't really plan on spoiling. So just read past that, it rapidly gets much better.

the fact that Kat's anxiety about this has dragged on for an entire week with no Annie in sight hasn't helped
