That is going to end so badly.

I mean, damn, we thought Vriska was arrogant. I guess the alpha trolls really are worse than their Alternian counterparts. 

“Terribubbly” is much too cute a term for something that will go so wrong. 

It’s such a cute term.

NO MEENAH LET HER TALK! D: I just wanna know what she thinks.

Aranea, you really are on your own here. If even Vriska won’t get behind you. She’s also an arrogant, dangerous hero of light and she still disapproves.

…What the fuck is he even talking about? 

I love that that’s what Meenah calls Karkat. 

It suits him, though.

HEEEE!

Well, I am now not surprised that Terezi agreed to have her eyes healed, even though it was obviously a bad idea.

Just like this is obviously a bad idea.

Bad. Bad idea.

Nooooooo this is bad bad bad.

Aranea what the fuck is wrong with you.

I understand mind controlling doomed ghost clones. But this goes a bit far.

Oooooooh shit.

That is some massive power. Makes Jade look a bit less omnipotent. 

…What the fuck is that?

Also, I hope Roxy figures out how to put out no scent, on top of being invisible. I mean, if you can be immune to light bouncing off you, surely you can stop putting off…smell…particles… 

Dear sweet lord what the fuck is he even

Is he making those things? Are they fleeing his ascension? 

Are they the engrams that Aranea just healed him of flying off in every direction?

It’s over 9000, isn’t it? It is. I know it.

WELL PLAYED, SIR. WELL PLAYED.

The hope field. Gosh. So, are there some Evangelion references I didn’t notice, or did Hussie neglect that part of pop culture?

Those are sexy?

Jade, I really question your taste.

Why can’t Jake just hope Jade and Jane un-evil? 

And possibly yell something that actually means something.

I suppose the infinite possibilities of paradox space means that the existence of other doggy girls is possible, but that’s still really funny.

Oh my gosh! She’s had the evil knocked out of her!

And she skipped like a stone across lava. Damn.

I want you guys to know that I gasped out loud and grabbed my face like the Scream. 

You can’t hurt Jade, Aranea! I like her too much!

DO SOMETHING, JAKE!

USE YOUR HOPE POWERS!

SAVE DOGGY GRANDMA!

Well, gosh, that’s very Wizard of Oz.

AND ALSO VERY TERRIBLE!

FUUUUUUUUUCK.

That’s not fair. 

OH GOD NO. 

GAMZEE.

GAMZEE WHY DO YOU RUIN EVERYTHING?

STEAL THE RING. STEAL THE RING, ROXY. YOU ARE A ROGUE, SO STEAL IT!

Dirk? Wtf, he’s the prince of heart, he shouldn’t have any teleportation or invisibility pow–

OH MY GOSH

JAKE IS HOPING HIM INTO BEING. He’s hoping dream Dirk into being to take down Aranea! HAHA! Go Jake!

Aw you poor baby! Poor thing! Nobody has forgotten about you. :(

Poor, poor Calliope.

Interesting how the alien species keep being exceptions. Or rather, the members of it who are on the side of our heroes. We’ve got untroll-like trolls, and now an uncherub-like Cherub. I’m guessing it’s because we’re gearing up for some big union in the universe they’re going to make, with trolls and humans and a cherub together.

Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit.

Calliope, no! 

I wish I could insult like evil Jane can. Damn, girl has skills.

He is an awful dude! 

HE IS AWESOME, THAT’S WHAT!

But now there are three Dirks in the world. Or, well, Arquius doesn’t quite count, but there are still two Dirks, and that’s possibly not good. 

I really hope this doesn’t end up being a heroic sacrifice. That’s how these things usually tie themselves up, but it would be sad to lose a Dirk, even if we have another.

AW YEAH!

Wait, did I miss Dirk and Jake getting back together, or did brain ghost Dirk miss the memo that they broke up? One of us is misinformed!

Or maybe it’s that, since brain ghost Dirk is out of Jake’s head, Jake wants to get back together? 

Either way, this is an awesome note to go to bed on. You go, Dirk. (You are an embarrassment, Jake. But an acceptable one.)

"FUUUUUUUUUCK. That’s not fair." Yes, the lucky break of Jade's death being Just seems quite unfair. But then again, look at it from a different perspective... if mind-controlled and corrupted God-Tiers acting (semi-?)against their wills couldn't be killed without reviving, wouldn't someone who could forcibly control God-Tier minions have an invulnerable, resurrecting army? From a Paradox Space perspective, it does seem cruel but fair?

It doesn’t seem just or fair to me. But it’s better than her living and being controlled by the Condesce, I guuuuuuuess.

also speaking of fan ideas and opinions, i totally think the arm thing is cooler reading archivally. theres more buildup to it. im at odds w most other long time fans abt this though. as someone who is reading archivally, do you think that it's cooler having seen the arms the whole time? jw

I’m not sure! I’ve only gone through it archivally, so I have nothing to compare them to. I did enjoy it, though. It was something weird to be curious about, and it was a treat to see the arm show up in panels. BKEW can tell you about the times I would IM him to say that I found one. I was wondering for quite a while, so it did make for a serious holy shit moment when John stuck his hand through the juju hole thing. I liked it, but I can’t say whether it’s cooler or not.

1. Terezi is the most awesome. The. Most. Awesome. 

2. I love Dave’s reaction. Just running commentary from the background. 

ehster:

lydiallama:

guys i figured it out

i know how they’re going to beat lord english

Dave has lived his whole life for this moment.

Eeeeeehehehehehe!

John’s hot mom. Oh my god. Oh, Dave, talk to yourself less, think more.

Wow, Terezi. She’s been preparing that speech for a while now, hasn’t she? She’s been holding her feelings in for too long. 

She’s the best.

“Those who are cut from the same cloth are fit to swing from the same rope” is a fucking fantastic line. Not that I support capital punishment or hangings, but it was so good I googled it to see if it came from somewhere. And then felt like I had insulted Hussie, for which I feel bad.

Nibble vermin is cute.

If it wasn’t super spoilery, this is the picture and text I would use to show people why they should read Homestuck. 

Uuuuuuh.

I spent too long thinking that was part of a face.

Shit, she healed that right up nice. And dream ghost Dirk did such a good job stabbing her.

IT’S A TRAAAAAAAP!

I’m not sure how, but it totally is. 

So, Gamzee probably can’t/won’t die from this, but he’s still being ridiculous. Just sit there grinning and let her stab you? 

Then again, he’s mind controlled by Aranea and who knows what his motives were with Terezi before. I’m not sure if he’s just doing the kismesis thing or if its part of some grand plan.

Oh. My. God.

Clearly Jane hasn’t been reading Homestuck long enough to realize how unlikely it is things will go off without a hitch!

Oh my god, Jackquerel and PM are here! AWESOME. And of course Jack is being all Bec and loving his dead owner/ward.

IT’S FUCKING WELSH!

PM and Jacquerel (I like this spelling, it looks so French!) teaming up is kind of weird. PM, his guard is down, kill him and avenge your friends! 

Okay it would be a bit rude to kill him while he’s holding the corpse of his beloved master, but still. It was super rude of him to like, kill everybody.

Ooooooooooh. That explains things.

And also is really weird and seems like a poor way to draw out the suspense. 

Get your memory back already, Jade! I want to know wtf is going on. 

I feel so bad for poor Calliope, that she hates how she looks so much. She’s really just a cutie pie. 

Well, it’s much too well drawn to be from Caliborn. I wonder just wtf one of the end of act stages/curtains is doing there. It’s probably some kind of magic device, but… 

God Cat: super powerful, still just a widdle kitty cat! Awww lookit it play with the mousie!

Look at it run across lava.

And Jacquerel still has Jade’s corpse. Dude.

Jane totally just responded to “John’s hot mom.”

Your calculations obvs didn’t include the love a dog feels for its human!
