This exchange was peeeerfect. All this madness, just in case you forget that they’re immature children.
I can’t believe it didn’t end in them making out on the floor. Or I can believe it, I’m just disappointed it didn’t.
I’m dying to find out what Terezi thinks of this!
Oh, I see! Thanks for letting me know~
I guess if it weren’t for the Vast Glub, and the fact that all the mother grubs were on Alternia, the troll species could have survived. Alas!
I have a feeling that all this romance talk is directed (somewhat) towards shippers.
Poor Karkat, first John throws a bucket at him, now John is going to push him down a flight of stairs. I’d make a kismesis joke but I don’t think John is capable of that kind of thing!
Her plan was to die somehow? The fuck?? God, that must be one hell of a plan to justify her being glad she’s dead.
Aw man, they’re in the same dream bubble, but they don’t get to interact.
I love Karkat. I hope he never changes.
Aranea is annoying the eff out of me. I know she means well, but she comes off as really patronizing.
I’m sure she’ll grow on me. All of the Homestuck characters do, eventually.
Doc Scratch was responsible for setting up Alternia after the scratch? Hm…
I’m pretty sure this means something I should be able to figure out, but I can’t. I mean, I know Doc Scratch was working towards, er, activating Lord English but I’m not sure how setting up Alternia would lead to that.
This is some deep shit, guys.
Goes along with Karkat’s arguing/philosophizing with himself earlier. I hope Terezi lets him know, and puts his mind at ease.
Awwwwwww. Aranea offers Terezi the chance to see, and she turns her down to feel close to her lusus. That’s so sweet and adorable.
We get to see Vriska!– GODDAMMIT MY NOTES LIED TO ME, MOTHERFUCKERS. I don’t know how I would up with my notes saying Vriska was the thief of life instead of light.
Oh, wait, fuck, we have to wait. Probably for another thousand pages.
Dammit, I miss her.
oh fuck Lord English again nooo this will end badly god that horrifying motherfucker
Shiiiiit.
“When it comes to being here, already is practically all he ever is.”
I’m not sure if I should stop making posts because I like a particular line, or if I should make a lot more of them. Damn there’s some clever wordplay.
Self-insert Hussie is dead! And it looks like not!Vriska is very happy about it.
so, here’s my video reaction to “[S][A6I2] ???” and Act 6 Act 3.
I sliced it down the middle because the game that came after was long and boring for you guys to listen to, and I’m busy and had to run off, so I didn’t pick a good place to stop by the audio, so it just kind of…cuts off. Apologies for the bootleg reaction this time. Physics is hard.
Reblogging just for her most beautiful face.
Psychic troll? God, UU, stop being so cagey and give us the deets! Is it really that big of a secret how he could mess up a place?
Windows! Everywhere! Is this foreshadowing something to do with Jade breaking through the window? Probably that and like 11 other things.
Hemera is Jane’s denizen, then, I believe. It seems the denizens have some sort of (potentially) cooperative relationship with the…I forgot what the little amphibians and crocs and stuff are called…and with the heroes. I think Karkat may have given us bad information…but no real surprise that he approaches everything violently.
This is probably referencing Jake’s dream self being dead, rather than the entire aspect, but it’s still incredibly worrying to hear that Hope is dead. I mean, he could still die. Maybe the aspect is already dead, since he’s somehow related to Lord English, and Lord English is pretty much the opposite of hope.
Jade is probably capable of divine intervention by now, though.
Noooooo!
I assume time funniness allowed the amphibians to see Jane’s temporary death and then resurrection.
I really don’t want to see Dirk and Roxy die. :(
I thought I did!
Obviously I am super fucking concerned. I mean, their battlefield is completely destroyed, so I guess it might not matter anyway if it can’t heal itself or reach its final form, but still probably bad. And I figure there’s something worse that will come of it, since the battlefield probably doesn’t matter a lot with
Oh, but it was the lack of a reckoning that let the Condesce take over Earth, and the unprototyped kernelsprites caused that…
My reaction to [S] Jane: Proceed and [S] Jane: Cautiously Approach
I’m pretty sure I missed something, but for the life of me, I don’t know what! D:
OH GOD GAMZEE WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK. THOSE ARE THE CORPSES OF YOUR FRIENDS. BAD GAMZEE!
Oh god.
That is just not god. If I can see through the flashing, that’s Vriska and Tavros, and that’s a terrible combination!
THIS IS WORSE THAN THE UNPROTOTYPED KERNELSPRITE!
Vriska, Tavros, Tavri, you poor suffering thing. I wanted you back but not like this! It’s like I wished on a monkey’s paw and this is my punishment reward.
Fuck yes, Vriska! You go fuck shit up, that is definitely the thing to do. Fuck up all the shit.
Oh, sure, you clever bastard. That is just such an awesome way to put that. I hate Hussie’s talent. >.<
Awwww, poor Dirk has such a crush! That’s adorable!
Or maybe he just wants to escape Condesce’s world.
Plot twist! Dirk isn’t confessing his love to Jake. Which makes sense because this is a flashback and Dirk is just now planning on telling Jake, but that didn’t stop me from expecting it all the same.
So I’m not sure if it would work with the mother grub thing, but this makes me wonder a bit if troll reproduction wasn’t designed to make the population more controllable. Nobody has family ties aside from their romantic relationships, nobody is particularly attached to the younger generation, inheritance (to kids anyway) isn’t a thing, so property is easier to control, etc.
I’m probably wrong but I’m also putting it out there. Because you never know with this thing. But she’s probably just trying to make humans more like trolls.
!!!!!!!!!!
Does this mean she made a new Gl'bgolyb, or somehow resurrected the old one? That’s crazy! And it kept glubbing, and killing off all the trolls! I wonder why. To punish her? Or perhaps to guide the events forward in a specific direction, one that doesn’t involve trolls coming back?
I gather that the kids are going to make another new universe, since they’re bringing their battlefield and hinting that significant things will happen there, but they also might establish a new troll population in the alpha kids’ universe, and since the troll kids want to reform their species, having other trolls would be detrimental.
Gl'bgolyb’s motivation is such a mystery.
What.
The.
Fuck.
Dirk arrived at, IIRC, around the end of his infancy. Crawling, moving around on his own, but definitely not capable of caring for himself physically, much less emotionally or psychologically. So Cal must have been capable of feeding, changing, teaching, protecting, socializing, etc. a baby.
AND we have some heavy implications that Cal is evil and/or the tool of something evil. So we have Jake English, who is closely associated with Lord English, and now Dirk Strider, raised by Lil Cal the puppet that portends doom and destruction in every universe that contains him.
I am very concerned.
I’m also viscerally upset by the idea of a child being raised without any opportunity for the love and care of a parent/general adult.
Aw, Roxy, you little queen, summoning pumpkins to feed the poor, hungry Carapaces.
*eyeroll* Very funny, Mr. Hussie. Very funny.
Awwwww, poor Jane, that is most sad!
And what are those things Gamzee has? They look like tiny floating cities, kind of.
I went back and did the end of that flash properly, after being informed of what I missed.
AAAAAAAAAAAH!
Why does she have Vriska’s and Tavros’s symbols on her tiara? Oh shit that is seriously not good. Do not want, nope, no wanting that here.
Oh. My. God.
So, in this version of the world, Jade left the batterwitch to explore the world and John stayed behind? John was raised by Betty Crocker? Who is also the Condesce? Damn.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the fuck, Jade?
She took the last name English, after lord English, and adopted his colors and the skull symbol. That is a terrible idea. Although at least now we know how Jake came to have so much in common with Lord English, and it’s not as terrifying as I was expecting.
Unless there is more at play…
I keep misreading this as “nickel shit” instead of “the nickel shit”, and I thought for a second Dirk was comparing John to like, manure. Manure that is on point.
Oh my god, the book is an allegorical allegory. This comic could not get any more meta.
Oh my god it’s UU and uu’s symbols! And they’re on shackles…does that mean UU and uu are working with the Condesce?
Guy Fieri and Insane Clown Posse were the Condesce’s top human officers? God, she’s got bad taste.
Also, haha, dramatic irony again.
Fuuuuuuck. Now I see (I think) Sollux’s and Aradia’s symbols, on top of Tavros’s being on GodCat and the dragon lusus. Oh dear. Not loving this.
But Roxy’s dream self visited a dream bubble, and she wasn’t dead!
Tavros is our other page, and we’ve been seeing his symbol in terrible places! This is probably bad news.
File these under “Things that made me laugh like a maniac at 1AM.”
Oh, Jack.
I love Brain Splinter Dirk so much. He’s such a dick, it’s awesome.
And now Vriska makes a lot, lot more sense. If she’s getting vibes every time someone dislikes her…that must be really tough on a kid.
1. Wow, that is a seriously different system than the other troll world. What a weird utopia, no wonder they didn’t do well in the game. They’d need to have an almost perfectly balanced world to maintain that, and if it falls apart I imagine their society would break down pretty fast.
2. Goddamnit Aranea, stop being so stingy with the details…or rather, the details I want.
I bet Lord English ends up dead anyway!
So, there are outside parties involved, who need the hope that they could destroy Lord English. Hmmmm.
