This makes more sense as to why Karkat was being secretive about it. He wanted to know why Jack would have killed him (they knew he would stab, but maybe nothing that malicious). He must have been somewhat relieved that is wasn’t his Jack that did it.

ok…this is weird. Because I went back and checked, and you’re right. He had his eyes closed when he was on the train and then whacked the snake.

I was like, nah…this isn’t a thing right? So I went back to the first time where he saw the snake, ALL the way in chapter 2, and he ALSO had his eyes closed then. And that was when he didn’t have an idea of the Spirit-state at all.

So Max is able to immediately and unintentionally go into the second layer on his own without any assistance.

But with his eyes closed, we still don’t know if he is using the regular powers the other spectrals used to get into this form, or if there is something else going on.

I forgot that the bat was considered one. I think for the bat, because it was able to terrorize the other ghosts it was able to generate the fear it needed to gather and feed on to be stronger. I mean, if a bat could eat you I would be scared too.

But yeah, I believe that negative emotions can come from animals, but not like a normal “survival” type of death, like that of flies. To me, the negative emotions have to result from a curse. From something like all of the pain and suffering and torment that a creature went through before it died. A good example of what could be an animal “grunge” is something like massive animal experimentation, to the point where the spirit decides to get revenge. 

A great example would come from an anime called “The Ancient Magus’s Bride” where the focus is on cats. Won’t give too much away there, but it is beautiful animation and would recommend for people to check out.

Thank you for liking it. It was something that I thought of for a long time. I don’t know if there was one specific source where I first heard of something like that (like fables, historical, fictional, or otherwise), it was more like bits and pieces that seem to fit together.

Right, that would be something to point out here. I am so used to details being photoshoped because Hussie, that I forgot that people can actually draw out the details like this. Not to say photoshop isn’t impressive, but to draw out ALL of this for each panel, must be a lot.

( So for this ask, the screener withheld this until after I got passed the “Jade’s Dog Prototyped” point, just for a precaution on my reactions. )

I had some valid points as to why I included Bec in the prototyping options.

First, there were a shit ton of perfectly usable mannequins to use, like John’s clown from the beginning. What would be a great twist is to use something that wasn’t a part of them, since Hussie seems to lean to the “JK” moments.

Second, like what Jade and John pointed out, there seems to be a pattern with the sprite prototyping. They were all using people/persons who are dead, and/or family.

John used dead grandma, Rose used dead cat, Dave used dead bird and originally Cal (as weird as he is, he was around long enough to be family) then his second time as himself. So to continue the patten, Jade would pick something along those lines as well. I also suggested her dead dream self, or her dead grandfather. Both dead and family, so it would fit the pattern.

Third, we had already established that living things can be prototyped. Dave was alive, even if he did go back in time, he was living at that point. So if we had a bunch of dead living relatives, why not living ones.

To be fair, I was honestly leaning more to the Blue Mannequin Lady near the end of it. And John did initially pick her (until VRISKA). So I was a bit expecting the blue lady to be Gramp’s girlfriend, and then have more family living dog things maybe be added in at the second stage. I did not expect the dog to be first.

Right, before it was a board, then a cube, then a planet. So now with the 4th and final evolution, it might be a whole galaxy to plan and explore on. And if that is the end goal, then if they don’t prototype they won’t get their special prize here.

I thought I was crazy! I couldn’t look at my own stuff! I thought it wasn’t loading properly or something. Luckily I rechecked it and it seems to be working fine now.

But just in case, if anything like that has happen, I have uploaded the stuff on my wordpress page  If you want to check it out there. It also helped that the tags still work, even if you can see the archive. So you can still search for the posts too.
