“Their plan”, huh? I wonder who they is? I would have guessed the black king and queen, but it seems like they’re out of the equation already. Maybe the exiles?
Or maybe it has to do with that long ass intermission that I barely remember because it was so long ago.
Huh, what does this drawing mean? It looks like Tavros, at least with the horns, but Tavros isn’t tyrannical. Quite the opposite.
God, Terezi, you are such a magpie. Taking everybody’s stuff and hiding it everywhere!
This is the most adorable costume, I hope she never takes it off!
So I am done with Past Karkat: Wake Up and I feel like I have missed something very important, but I won’t lie, that got a bit boring halfway through Vriska’s thing, and by the time I got to playing Terezi I just wanted it to end. What was the point of that? Nngh.
Goddammit, Nanna!
Goddammit, Nanna! You got me all concerned for John’s nutritional needs and then NOPE just a prank!
Kismesis crushes are really weird. Maybe it would be less weird if Eridan wasn’t completely pathetic and inept at hateromance.
For a moment I was annoyed that he was stepping into Kanaya’s territory, but then I remembered that matesprites and kismesis are not mutually exclusive at all.
Oh Rose, queen of queens! Eridan is no worthy rival for you.
Ah-ha!
More information about Aradia’s lack of dream self. Okay, only a little bit of information, but hey, I’ll take what I can get.
In no particular order: Rose, Terezi, John, Vriska, Kanaya, Sollux, Karkat and Feferi. Aradia got knocked off the list because she’s such a fatalistic downer. Which I don’t blame her for, I mean, it makes perfect sense, but it’s just not fun to read. If she had more to do, other than feel like everything is pointless, she would knock Feferi or Karkat off the list.
I love Kanaya and Rose so so so so much.
I also like Vriska and John, and Terezi and Dave, although maybe not romantically. I think it’s going in a romantic/flushed direction for them, but eh romance (except Kanaya and Rose).
And I really enjoy John and Karkat’s interactions, since they’re usually ridiculous and hilarious, not to mention now John is trolling Karkat and that’s beautiful and perfect. And Equius/people who give him orders.
God Aradia, you complain about Rose not knowing anything and then refuse to tell her. Like okay so far it seems like things are predetermined, but if I wanted to undermine fate, I would be spreading as much information and humanly (trollily?) possible. Wouldn’t that be the best way to convince Rose not to do whatever Rose was going to do?
Oh god that is so sad and so sweet I had to go cuddle my cats. Nepeta misses her Lusus so she’s been talking to Jaspersprite. brb crying
Also at this point I am wondering what happened to the trolls’ sprites. Tell me I haven’t forgotten another important event that explains everything.
Oh my gosh I am so excited to see this come to fruition! That’s gonna be amazing.
Awwwww. Sad. But maybe that’s why the death of the trolls’ sprites wasn’t that big of a deal, if they’re mostly important in the beginning and then their usefulness tapers off. Rose has already released hers, and now Dave will be without his. And Nanna is…Nanna.
Woah, Vriska is the reason Dave fell asleep? That doesn’t sound too good. She is more or less allied with John and wants John to outdo Dave.
Aw yeah, we are finally back to this!
It’s probably really bad that Jack ends up with Bro’s sword. That thing seemed special.
Jade: Wake Up was a completely horrifying video. Yeek! Talk about nightmare fuel. Coming from a literal nightmare!
I feel you, baby girl. You’ve gone through some rough shit.
The more I hear about these gods that live in the Furthest Ring the less I like them. They’re starting to sound a bit Lovecraftian, and Rose is still doing what they say. Sure, Feferi seems to like them, but I do not trust her judgment.
That goes for the previous conversation as well. Gosh, Karkat, you’re making me want to take you off my favorite eight characters list.
Damn, Jade is really going through a lot here. Poor baby, she sleeps all the time and then her dream self dies and so she loses Prospit, and now she’s losing Earth too. Her homes are gone, and her dog might be evil.
Oh, oh, poor baby. John just dumps the pumpkins, and then they fall on Jade! I hope Jade’s day gets better fast. Or at least stops being unrelentingly awful.
Oh hell yes, that is so cool. Bro and Davesprite vs. Jack, awesome! And Jack can’t just fly away, Davesprite has wings too!
Oh man I was totally sure he was going to drop it in the kernelsprite and supercharge the imps and king/queen/Jack.
JACK JUST SET LOWAS ON FIRE.
I repeat, Jack just set the Land of Wind and Shade on fire.
The whole thing.
Rose, on why John should absolutely not let Rose’s kernelsprite go unprototyped.
TREASURE AT THE CORE OF THE BATTLEFIELD! Well, that makes sense, right? After all, they have to be fighting over something. (Literally over, perhaps?)
I suspect that the kernelsprite is going to go unprototyped. somehow.
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck.
Fuck.
John. Jade. Noooo.
JOHN, WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE FUCK, JOHN!
You do not have your computer glasses you idiot!
Oh, he did have his glasses, thank the gods in the furthest ring or whatever. What a relief.
He’s definitely got you there, Rose. You are spooky lately.
And I love it.
Shitty sounding treasure, but fascinating, considering Rose wants to ultimately undo the game and Skaia. If it’s a tumor, I wonder just what it’s hurting…
I have no comment on the first picture, I just think it’s so funny.
God damnit Karkat, you jerk. I spent like a day waiting to find out what would happen, because it’s probably going to be revealed in a video that’s like two pages away, and I haven’t felt well enough to record an audio reaction.
Also this is the part where I admit sometimes this isn’t so much of a liveblog but a “I took a screencap and will comment hours or a day later”.
Some thoughts now that I’ve had a second to think about this video:
Doesn’t this mean that ultimately Vriska is responsible for the scratch and for ruining things, since she put John to sleep at the worst possible moment?
Also I am assuming it is deeply metaphoric that Jade’s entry item thing was a piñata of Bec, considering that Bec was created by one of Jack's henchmen and may be evil. And that she ultimately shot it, which is what she was trying to do in the game where Bec wasn’t letting her get to the package, when the green sun first appeared in his body. I’m not sure what to make of it right now. I know each entry item is metaphorically significant, if not significant to the future story itself. And I get them metaphorically, vaguely, but not specifically.
If that makes sense, I’ve had a long day.
*has a fucking panic attack*
I am too scared to even click the pesterlog.
Conversation I’m having about Homestuck. We’ve figured it out, guys. No need to wait for the gigapause to end.
*sobbing* Oh, Bro, I barely knew ye.
Shit, this is just awful. He even had to steal the glasses? God, I hope they kill Jack like three times.
OH SHIT.
Becquerel is a first guardian, like Doc Scratch? So he’s serving some horrifying entity?
This is so much worse than I thought.
Well that’s the most horrifying/totally appropriate landing site for the giant Bec head ship.
It’s a key! Like I’ve seen before! I can’t remember what they were used for, though. Drat. My conjecture is that the key will break up the Bec head ship when it’s used. Or maybe just use it. Or transform it into something else.
Oh god. He’s so close to the ring. So close, and the WV doesn’t want to give it up, and he doesn’t get it. :(
I was all excited that WV was going to help John. But no, he’s just going to complain about Karkat, the gray text stupid dumb.
Oh Vriska, you are really not fooling anyone, you sweet, silly girl.
Oh my god, Vriska, don’t you remember how horribly that ended with Tavros?
Man, John really doesn’t deserve the blame for Bec prototyping with the sprite. Yeesh.
