I Dream of Another Jeanie Bottle 10
Please note that the text is colored on this page primarily to help explain panel 2. The blue-haired genie is preempting Anderson’s rude comment.
And dang, Anderson really looks fantastic on this page, doesn’t she? Not to mention Crystal being completely adorable in panel 6.
Finally, I must inform you faithful readers that while Hachimitsu has plans to make this a fairly lengthy series, this will be the last page of I Dream of Another Jeanie Bottle for a few weeks. Hachi has really been working himself to the bone recently, and he seriously needs a break to recover. So I’ll be posting other filler for the next month or so, to give him a chance to take a long rest and recover.
But fret not! A really fantastic piece of work that he made for me a few weeks ago will be next week’s filler. So his amazing art will still be featured here next week.
Well a genie owning a genie this is really fun now hanks Hachimitsu
Actually, in panel 2, Crystal says that Anderson’s master isn’t there. She seems to be holding onto the bottle in his stead, at the moment.
But i thought whomever holds the lamp is the master?
@Jack:
More like whoever “owns” the bottle/lamp. Kind of a contractual thing.
Just picking it up for a second doesn’t count, any more than borrowing someone’s car transfers it the title to you.
@Robert:
Just curious, had you not said anything, is there some other clue that this was Crystal ?
Also: Is there any reason why Crystal would expect Agent Anderson to recognize her?
Well, Crystal is one of Hachi’s characters. I believe she’s going to introduce herself in the next page, and I didn’t see any harm in mentioning her name.
I don’t think she’s expecting Anderson to recognize her. I think she’s expecting Anderson to be surprised that a genie is holding her bottle.
@Robert:
Oh, my mistake, I thought you were saying that this was Crystal from SailorSun. Got it now.
@Kattgirl: Except that’s not what we’ve seen, like when people besides Neil ha e used Jean’s bottle.
@Jacqui:
The only time that’s been in play was when Boss Hogg had the bottle – and he didn’t just pick it up briefly – he took it [stole it], more or less permanently. So that (evidently) counts as a change in ownership.
But when Araceli picked up Jeannie’s bottle, she didn’t become the master. Neither did Roscoe, who also only had it for a short time. So no, it isn’t just a matter of who’s holding it at the moment; you clearly have to gain long-term possession. Of course, exactly where that dividing line is, isn’t yet clear.
Perhaps genie bottles might be like the One Ring; you’d have to actually claim it as your own to become the master; if you’re just temporarily holding or transporting it for another, that doesn’t count.
When it comes to who the master of the Genie bottle and there for the Genie that inside of that bottle, there are several possibility here and they are.
1, The original master dies and the next person to pick up the bottle will be the master of that Genie.
2. After the new moon if the bottle been corked, then the first person to uncork the bottle will be the Genie new master.
3. In Boss Hoggs situation, Roscoe stole the bottle and Boss Hoggs maintained possession of it for a long enough time that he became Jeanie new master.
4. We know that Genies can cork and uncork other Genie bottle other than there own, but, they can’t cork or uncork there own bottles. But, up to this point we haven’t had another Genie being the master of another Genie. So we will have to actually wait and see if this other Genie is actually Anne new master or what going on.
Robert
To be fair we already knew Crystal’s name from the Etsy Keychains since she was one of the three along with Jeannie and Anne.
some versions of genie stories it who owns the bottle but often the current master has to be given all three wishes before transfer of bottle master ownership can happen. which is why some stories have thieves try to force a genie bottle owner to make a wish for them by threatening someone in the masters lives.
Nice butt in panel 3 ❤️❤️❤️
So is Crystal the master? And i wonder why Anderson thinks her master is pathetic.
I hope the fact that Anderson will never see his son again isn’t downplayed.
This comment makes me wonder if genies can have children with humans….
Yeah, it’s really great: when the kids get too rambunctious, you can just stuff ’em in their bottles for a couple of centuries of time-out.
Wow, Hach the more a look to Anne’s and Crystal’s designs the more I love them, and not just for the obvious reasons. Hach has truly done an amazing job with this series so far, and I hope he takes some rest, I know very well how much he deserves one!
Also guys, in case you are not on the know and are curious about Crystal, the cute blue haired genie on this page, and highly recomend you check out Hachimitsu site and his page on Deviantart for more on Crystal, not to mention more of his amazing work in general!
Hopefully Hachi gets the rest he needs. I like this series, but not enough for him to work himself to death over it.
Quick art note to Hashi:
You might want to lower the position of the bottle a trifle in the future. In Panel 5, it looks like Crystal is sucking on the top, and in Panel 6, she appears to be under the impression that it works as a microphone. Plus, in both, it looks a little like she’s got three boobs.
No, she doesn’t have three boobs, it the Genie bottle that she holding that might give you the impression that she has three boobs. That the bottle that Anne just came out of that she is holding there.
@Kattgirl – the position of the bottle doesn’t bother me. Having zoomed in on the fingers, though . . . they look like she’s trying to hold the bottle with her knuckles.
This is no ordinary type of Jeannie. She is incredibly special and I hope you guys get a chance to see it happen in the following pages.
In terms of holding it.. she is pressing it against her own body with her palms! Not her knuckles!..
Crystal is also chewing/kissing it similar to chewing/licking a shirt because she knows something that Anne doesn’t!
Crystal is my own original character and has been for a very long time! Expect a lot of wonderful moments from her since she is very very mysterious!
Finally.. The past 8 pages, you made a lot of assumptions along with everyone else. The good news about reading peoples comments is that it allow me to create changes to support those rulings/guesses.
THE PROBLEM: Granted that I have to follow the same procedures of rulings from Aladdin and I dream of Jeannie, you also have to follow rulings from [3 illicit videos], Dungeons and Dragons, Gelli in a bottle, [Abc] 1001 Arabian nights, Magi, RWBY, Shantae, and a few fan sites that inspired me such as The Lamp Maker. Jeanie bottle is the third fan site to find more information.
Granted, there are a lot of different genie rules depending on the stories and even the rules in the original Arabian Nights stories were different from the ones in the Aladdin film.
Ans in some cases, there are no rules or Dijinn were just evil.
As i mentioned above, i hope we see Anderson react to the possibility he might not see his son again. It did seem like he wanted to go back to his family, at least in the main Jeanie bottle story.
And clearly Anderson doesn’t like the idea of being someone’s slave.
Agent Anderson having a son has been mentioned twice, but I can’t find the page where it was originally revealed.
Thanks for clarifying the hand thing, Hachimitsu! It’s eyesight like mine that makes the fiance drive the car, so it makes sense that I missed what she was doing.
@Mike:
Anne’s (Agent Anderson’s) son Ricky was revealed about 75 pages ago, via a phone call from someone named Judy (presumably Anderson’s wife, though that’s a guess.)
Here’s the link: https://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-457
Thanks.
Wait, who’s the blue genie? I thought at first she was some form of genie-guidance the bottle was giving Anderson or maybe an internal externally-supplied conscience, but the last couple panels and some of the other comments negate that, so……older character I forgot? Original character from elsestrip? Entirely new character? What?
(I say the stuff about being another version of Anderson only because there’s more than a casual resemblance between Anderson and the blue genie)
That’s Hachi’s genie OC, Crystal. Apparently she and Anne have the same master now.
Crystal doesn’t own Anne, she is the one that commands her, overrides her speech and behaviour.
Job security?
The bottle wasn’t supposed to contain genie, was it? It was supposed to be empty.
@hachimitsu-ink: Besides pure genie magic, what’s supporting Anne’s breasts? The straps going around her back are hanging loose, and there doesn’t seem to be any connection between them underneath. For that to work in the real world, the slings would have to be glued on underneath with something like spirit gum, or be attached to body piercings. Or antigravity? Obviously Japan has antigravity, of course; just a few pages of Bomber Girl proves that.
I believe the appropriate answer here is, “A genie did it!” 🙂
Tom, I’ve worked in theater productions where people actually DID have to be glued (or sewn) into their costumes!
Every time I look at the pictures, I wince, thinking about how the thin metal of the torque has got to be digging into her neck.
Of course, the answer clearly is – a genie’s breasts are weightless! (After all, the rest of her body floats in the air…)
It’s a good thing they happen to be in a building that ISN’T the one distinct building that let’s you know you are in Dubai.
genies get their assignment info by hand held devices now. makes me think of Al and Ziggy on Quantum Leap TV show
I think that’s a picture in a frame.
What, you mean like a smart phone? 😀
Where in Dubai?
The tallest building shown in #8 is, of course, the Burj Khalifa, tallest in our world, with 163 floors, or 211 with the spire. Height: 848 metres (2,717 ft)
The window on the far left shows a hotel called Address Boulevard. 196 hotel rooms start at $490/night, and there are also 523 apartments. It has 73 floors. Height: 368m (1,207 ft.), the sixth highest in Dubai
If you look at Address Boulevard in the final frames of I Dream of Another Jeanie Bottle #8, at least a couple of the floors near the top look like they might a horizontal line—which means the horizon should be about that high. And this means that the view is from about that high.
So I think the video which forms the view shown in #8 was probably taken from the Hotel Sky View, which is about 320 meters high and is fairly close to both these buildings. This is one of the most outrageous buildings anywhere; it has twin towers with something looking kind of like Sinbad’s ship sitting on top of them. I want a place on the top of the poop deck.
Originally it was supposed to be located in the Dubai Marina where the Princess Tower actually is located!.. but because this is inaccurate, it was placed near the Dubai Residence Tower 6 which has a total of 31 floors.. THis is the closest i can find that has an image where you can both see the dubai tower AND the fountains at the same time..HOWEVER if I chosen the tower 7 that would also work since tower seven has 36 floors!..
So yes.. Their master Has two homes.. One near at work, and one away from work. The only difference is that the princess tower is an ideal location for Crystals living status, while the Residence is more of an idea location for their master at work!…
sadly I think one of those buildings are cancelled and It’s difficult to place them where you can see the towers and fireworks WITHOUT any disruption from other buildings.. I just assume 6 and or 7 are the idea candidates but the hotel would work if they don’t haveany buildings blocking it..
again your asumption might be correct, the problem is it’s difficult to find footage to have an idea location to have the tower shown..
Cancelled in our world, but not necessarily in this story. Dubai seems to be having problems now and the great boom might be over. I’ve lived in the Silicon Valley long enough to have seen more than one boom go bust, but Dubai’s situation is more precarious than Santa Clara County’s. As a map nerd, I’d like to know where your possibly cancelled buildings are supposed to be sited.
I assumed that you got the background image from a video which could have been shot from a helicopter or a drone, but with so many skyscrapers in the area, either option would have caused safety concerns. Plus, probably cheaper just to ride an elevator to whatever floor you want and shoot from there. Maybe the background source is an animation?
31 or even 36 floors isn’t high enough for the horizon in the shot. The Address Boulevard sticks up only a little above that horizon, and it has 73 floors.
Looks like Anderson’s wrist shackles are much bigger than Crystal’s?
She did say something about wanting them bigger when the curse hit
And the shackles weren’t the only things that got bigger!
Do the bracelets on Anderson’s wrists look more massive than those worn by Genie Crystal?
