Oh my god, alpha Jack gouged out his eyes, put lil Cal’s eyes in his sockets, and cut off his leg Saw style.
No pictures because I am waaaaay too freaked out.
I guess lil Cal made him do it, too? Because Caliborn put a curse in it by looking deeeeeep into its eyes. And then Gamzee looked into its eyes and then Jack did and eeeeeeeee.
Oh man… That is just one of the most depressing things ever. That poor thing. God, no wonder. Man, I just want to wrap her up in a blanket and hug her safe.
Aaaaaand that’s one way to get the kids killed on their godslabthings.
Oh shit oh shit oh shit.
Now Jack is like…Jackiborn. Or Lord Jacklish. He’s scary with flashing eyes and blood everywhere and a peg-leg and this is all very bad.
I’m trying to figure out if Dirk has been trying to talk to her, or if they’re both just laying there, thinking about talking.
I love Dirk so much. He gets it. We should all be proud of Roxy. She rox.
Uh oh!
I mean, the Condesce is already the queen on Derse, but her ship just showed up and Lord Jacklish is probably on his way there and BAD THINGS.
Sweet lord but the Condesce is one hot sea-bitch.
*sniffle*
I have nothing to say, this is just so sweet.
*swoon*
What a gorgeous lady.
Who now has Sollux’s (or Mituna’s) power. Sooooo it looks like she can access the power of any of the trolls? And as such, all of the aspects. Meep.
Oh shit.
Hijacked Noir and the Condesce are eye and mouth beaming Derse and Prospit. I assume it’s on Lord English’s orders, since Hijacked Noir is there too, but the Condesce looks pleased as well. But then, having the kids reach God Tier has to play into whatever plan she has against English.
Oooooooh-whee!
That’s the tower where their life lanterns are! Apparently those lanterns couldn’t contain the glory of four gods.
THE PANTS. THE PANTS. OH MY GOD, DIRK IS WEARING THE CHEESY PRINCE PANTS. Oh, he’s not gonna be happy.
Oh my gawd.
They’re both looking.
Yeah, that’s about right.
Eeeek!
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD.
At last!
Here comes Jade! And John! And probably Dave and Rose are right behind them–metaphorically!
No comment needed on this, really.
Oh fuck. Oh no. Condesce is using Vriska’s powers to control Jade. Who is like, a double god. That’s really not good.
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck.
She has Jade and Jane. Oh, Condi, you clever sea-witch.
And now Condi has Jade, Jane, Jake, and Roxy. And Dirk is stuck out past, like…way far from everything.
And of course she has to say suckers in her own special way, because she’s the Condesce so fuck you.
Oh. My. God. Terezi’s boxers!
Can trolls get drunk/high off Faygo?
i knew she reminded me of someone
Majane Buu
Ohmygod.
bladekindeyewear: there have always been tacit parallels between the cherubs and Karkat
bladekindeyewear: Calliope had the two half cancer symbols on her cuffs
bladekindeyewear: oh, their gray text colors, too
homestuckbecausereasons: Maaaaaaan.
bladekindeyewear: Karkat is #626262
bladekindeyewear: Calliope, starting out as UU, was #929292
bladekindeyewear: Caliborn/uu was #323232
homestuckbecausereasons: Huh, for a second I thought it would be significant that you could add 929292 to 11 11 11
bladekindeyewear: oh wow
bladekindeyewear: that might have been fucking intentional
bladekindeyewear: never heard anyone point that out
homestuckbecausereasons: Yeah, I kind of compulsively add numbers like that.
homestuckbecausereasons: Also, I am proud that I noticed something. :D
bladekindeyewear: yes, you might want to paste part of this chat into a blog post
bladekindeyewear: so you can claim credit for it
I noticed a thing!
Oh man, Kupomechanic sent me a fanmail with this video! And I kind of love it. It’s really well voice acted. And that conversation is so awesome in the first place.
And it’s better now, since I know AR is happy in the end.
Happy and really muscular. Which makes the DBZ-esque art in this funny.
Oh, Rose. Baby. I guess she takes after her mother.
At least they will soon meet up with the Nobles, maybe Roxy can guide her through sobriety. They can have little family AA meetings. Maybe Terezi can come.
Oh god that would be such a mess.
I think this is one of the funniest species differences. Faygo means a descent into darkness.
“did you try kicking her” “YES.” “im out of ideas” is completely hilarious to me. I imagine Dave finding Terezi sleeping and having to kick her awake all the time. I bet she sleeps like a log, even if she’s not in a sugar coma.
Heeeeeeeee.
Shut up Karkat, Dave’s maturity and wisdom here is actually super impressive. There are all kinds of adults who don’t get that other people make their own decisions and you can’t control them.
A+ for dealing with addicts and/or people intentionally making really bad decisions
Aw, Dave. I am so proud of you.
Like on one hand, I thought they were a cute couple, but I’m more interested in their individual happiness. Dave setting his own boundaries like that, breaking off a relationship that didn’t meet his needs, that’s an adult choice right there.
Also I’m less upset because I’m not as protective of het ships. I’m sorry, but the m/m and f/f relationships are special to me.
Also, great DBZ reference. Hee!
~DRAMATIC IRONY~
Although, Gamzee did get shot when he first met his…I don’t know, is Caliborn his god? He got shot, and then beaten with the very crowbar he gave to Caliborn.
Oh man that is a horrible way to wake up.
But fucking a, of course it just haaaaas to cut out before we see anything with awake Terezi.
AND THE INTERMISSION HAS A FUCKING INTERMISSION WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON.
Ladies and gentlemen, our mighty villain.
Those green bastards. I recognize them! Ohhhhhh.
Oh my god Caliborn, you silly little punk. Don’t you want to have minions with cool names?
Nope, no he does not. He is in fact terrible at naming things. Zero originality. I bet he didn’t even come up with Lord English himself, that’s too creative.
That.
Was.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god, Davesprite. You poor thing, I had no idea you were going through that. That poor guy.
Man, he and Arquius should get together. Roxy will help Rose with her sobriety, Arquius will help Davesprite with his identity crisis.
Gosh, Davesprite is so cool, even as he’s flying away to angst by himself.
That looks like a circle Caliborn would draw. All straight lines in the general shape of a circle.
So, after seeing the green guys, I went back to reread the first intermission. Which I’d almost completely forgotten.
So here we’ve got Lord English’s safe. Which is a clock, that is open by the manipulation of time. When I first read the intermission I found it boring, and now that I can see how it fits into the overall story, it’s absolutely fascinating.
I’m pretty sure I found a voodoo doll juju in one of the flash games. It was probably this one! And it’s got a Lord English pin in it…And we need to find a weapon to take down LE.
Also I don’t recall seeing elsewhere that they needed to abuse glitches and shit.
Looking back at old stuff is really fun now. So…prepare for a bunch of retrospective posts.
Woah. English’s coat gets torn up when there’s time shenanigans. This is fascinating. It sounds like the Cairo Overcoat is actually made of “the fabric of spacetime.” Which would make sense. If you’re the Lord of Time, why not have a coat made of time?
Hold on, I need to go see if I’m right in remembering that the overcoat, or a version of it, was in Calliope and Caliborn’s room…
Tailors: Somehow useful against Lord English.
I’m pretty sure this detail will be important later on. I could be wrong, but after reading this much Homestuck, I have a feeling that something like that isn’t important for just one short storyline.
THIS IS TERRIBLY FAMILIAR!
This is the whole reason I think I went back to read this. I mean. You know. Spades opened the vault with the special thing, and gets teleported to a planet that looks suspiciously like Caliborn’s Earth.
Oh my gosh.
Black inches!
…
I haven’t the slightest idea why that would be what’s in Lord English’s vault.
Wow, that looks a lot like what happened after Caliborn’s Kernelsprite sucked up part of the sun.
Back on track!
I love Meenah and Aranea. Meenah makes violent overtures, and Aranea brings her into line with fish puns. They’re adorable.
Oh my god, Tavros. Are you ever going to stop being such a doormat? She doesn’t like you! And letting her abuse you isn’t going to get her to like you.
EEEEEE!
“The mobiest of dicks.”
This is the best.
ARADIA! SOLLUX!!
What a pair of cutes. They look good. I’m glad to see them again, joining the action.
I love Sollux’s two eyepatches.
I’m playing a game called how many times can I listen to/watch Rex Duodecim Angelus while I study physics.
F'r real guys I am such an addict.
My favorite part is the Nepeta/Equius part.
