I am liveblogging homestuck because reasons

SO time for a belated proper response to the latest flash!

I couldn’t get the instagram to work so I actually took screen shots of everything, my god. I was too lazy to find a better way

So oh my god, penis ouija has been replaced with penis hopscotch. How adorable! And I know it’s probably belaboring the joke, but Karkat’s response makes me laugh, because that means he knows something about human penises, right?

Soooo I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about Vriska fixing everything and being a Mary Sue and shit (which annoys me because shit, people, that’s not what a Mary Sue is, and Vriska is hardly flawless) but look, most of her fixing involves cockblocking Gamzee. And preventing him from even starting anything. Look, she’s right there at the beginning of his kismesisitude with Terezi, preventing him from ruining everything there.

And here stopping Gamzee from getting his fake god tier costume. (And possibly something else? IIRC it was implied that he got something other than a codpiece from them.)

AND here she is keeping Gamzee from fucking with the alpha kids’ sprites. (And, lets be real, being totally adorable while doing it!) So everybody is going to have actually helpful sprites!

But my real question is–how did she know where to show up, and with what? We know ARquiussprite is important, and there she is with Equius’s head at the exact right moment…just like she showed up at the exact right moment for Jane, and hell, for Rose too. I mean, maybe it’s got something to do with stealing something somehow light related from Gamzee? Or maybe Terezi directed her???

And maybe this means that Gamzee won’t be raising Caliborn/Calliope like he did. Vriska has the music boxes, so I don’t think Gamzee can get to the cherub’s Earth. Which could account for the Calliope Jade meant, maybe???? I’m so excited for the updates to get rolling again!

Vriska totally ships Rosemary.

I really hope this leads to a sort of moirallegiance where Vriska is like Rose’s sponsor, keeping her off the stuff. And occasionally sleeping in the room with all the alchemiters so Rose can’t make more booze.

Good lord! These updates.

Yeah, we’re totally going to see Davesprite soon. I WONDER WHERE! Maybe he also ends up in Li’l Cal. To give extra time power to Lord English. Or something.

It took me so long to figure out that Karkat meant a bell and wasn’t referencing Dave’s penis.

Eeeeee, more Rosemary! And Kanaya sounds a liiiiittle jealous!

Oh wow Vriska really did take over for Gamzee. That just makes this even weirder and more disturbing tbh. Gamzee was a little off his rocker but Vriska cut off her dead friends’ heads while completely sane.

And the fact that Vriska continues to do what we know needs to be done–at least in creating ARquius–and we don’t know how she knows what to do, and at precisely the right times, is disturbing. Maybe she time travelled to the future and got the information that way but it seems a bit unlikely to me.

…It just occurred to me that she’s been keep Gamzee pretty close by. Maybe she’s getting the info from him.

PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE

Just kidding, I know Feferi and Nepeta are pretty much gone except for cameos but they are two of my favorite characters and I want them back.

EEEEEEEEE more hints of Davekat! And apparently Karkat is the one who takes initiative in their relationship, if his leadership is involved in the snuggling. Which, y’know, is so damn cute. Putting their terrible taste in movies aside, that is.

KANAYA YOUR FACE. IT IS THE CUTEST FACE.
