So that was…interesting. I still like kAI-le, and I like how Jake gets it that kAI-le is a different person and not just some text-speech bot. I have a headcanon that kAI-le has a crush on Jake (like ever other friend Jake has for some reason), and this is vengeance for breaking his heart.
Alpha-Dave became rich by building sex-robots and you can’t convince me otherwise until I see his house for myself. I don’t know if that is better or worse than the puppets, I hope it isn’t worse.
Well that was an entertaining time.
I fucking love that AI. So sassy, and if he (is it he or they, I don’t know) is anything like Kyle Strider, then I am going to love the ironic asshole. I actually sort of hope that Alpha-Bro’s name isn’t Kyle, that way I can just call the AI Kyle
(unless he has another name). Everyone should get a name.
And there is just a secret stash of uranium out there in the world, which is a hassle to gather, so that would be fun.
And Alpha-Dave sounds like he is basically the Tony Stark of this world. Is comic became a movie, he now owns a tech company that developed the AI program, as well as supplies Kyle with robot tech (he builds robotic puppets, what a nightmare). So in Alpha-verse, they are rich and should be able to afford food. As long as they keep consumables in their fridge instead of broken swords I will call that a win.
This looks like a good place to stop.
Jake is holding many secrets, like a giant ass bomb or frog or frog bomb in his puzzle. It is also implying that Jake is going to like, somehow morph into Lord English or something? That I do not like, nor do I want, so please no.
UwU is apparently a Girl. Did not expect that. It does change how I read her slightly though. I discovered that I read her with a soft irish accent, so I just switched that from male to female and there we go. Soft female Irish accent.
She knows that the Beta-Kids are coming. Knows that their game is going to fail and need a reset. Knows that she needs to make weapons for said rabbit. Hell, it probably means that she knew what the purpose of the “deringer” was for, so she also aided and abetted in the creation of Jack Noir: Murder Dog.
I still want to see her and Karkat talk to each other. That would be hilarious.
Damn, can you believe it? I am FINALLY caught up! It took blood, sweat,
and tears, but I did it! In 33 Sessions I have managed to catch up to
Paranatural! (I can finally read fanfiction now, oh joy)
So what is going to happen is this. Since the update is one new page per week, I am going to Paranatural around a monthly basis from now on. Because 5 pages would be a decent amount to blog without waiting as long to blog about it.
So with this series down, now it is time to catch up on something else! Oh what Jolly Fun!
So the solo life of Stephen is interesting. I love how he is this angry kid who has this “us vs the world” mentality, but for the right reasons, or at least to do some good like protecting dogs.
I now have the theory that Stephen has a crush on Isaac do to that one far away blurry photo he has in his room. And like what Bigfoot said, I just need to believe and it will be true.
That whole speech on Conspiracy Theories and why they are important going over Stephen’s day and fight was genius. Because not only did it go narratively with the plot, it it also shows why Stephen is like this and what exactly Stephen believes in.
So Paige, leader of the Slytherin Squad, I feel something is up with her. I don’t know, she could be a powerful monster, or another spectral, but her colored eyes and bracelet it telling me there is more to her than what I thought.
Same with that Dog. I mean, that Dog is giving me the same vibes as the Dog from Howl’s Moving Castle. It is going to lead Stephen to a powerful witch/sorcerer with magic and ghostness, something is going to happen I can just feel it!
Well that was fun. Lovely to see the introduction again of Jake. Movie and adventurer aficionado.
Love how he loves Alpha-Jade. I wonder if he also as a radioactive dog like Bec. Maybe a cat here.
I swear that all the rabbits are connected. I have no idea how they are, but they are ALL going to be connected somehow. Like Rose and Dave sent Liv back (after somehow surviving the green sun bomb) and they have the rabbit. Literally, that rabbit is causing so many questions in my head.
And Kyle Strider is an enigma as always.
Going to end it here.
Louise….is so different than what I expected. Drunk at 15, still has passive battles with Alpha-Rose. Very loose compared to Rose, with her spelling and what not. Still a genius (obviously) with coding. I know that Jane said “jeez-louise” as a saying, and I am still holding out for Betty, or Vicky to be her name, I am going to call her Louise for now.
The Batterwitch making an appearance as an urban legend. And Jane living a life exactly like Feferi is so similar it is scary. The mind control headband (that is 100% troll made I firmly believe that), assassination attempts. And why the fuck do you live in this house if you are rich as hell?
Also, I believe that the Batterwitch is a Troll or ancient life or something, and that she is planning something like how Louise suggested. I would like to think that the Beta-Kids set it up to make sure Jane and Louise gets a game copy, but I don’t know.
Also that Arm now shows up in another dimension?? What is this, more time traveling kid nonsense? Is this how Jake was able to have penpals with Jade, just pass the gift to the arm and they will make it appear in front of Jade like some lame middle man?
Whatever it is, I know it has something to do with time travel shenanigans.
I am going to end it here. We get a good look at Jane and her shit. She is reminding me more of Feferi each time with her princess-like powers. She would control the world if given the chance.
Alpha-John at least has a happy life.
Alpha-Lalonde seems to be doing her own thing, I wonder what her name will be. I want to say….Betty. Or Danielle.
and UU, other wise known as UwU, otherwise known as Alpha-Karkat, otherwise known as Alpha-Troll-Jesus, otherwise known as Alpha-Jegus…….Damn if that guy wasn’t helpful and honest and fucking hopeful. Working together to play the game? Positive advice? This is the weirdest thing about this world so far.
The fact that he had his entire life on Prospit while Karkat had 10 seconds makes me sad. The fact that I know that since he is starting at the beginning of their adventure, by the end the Alpha-trolls will reset to their beta-lives and he will die, that also makes me sad.
Well, maybe the Alpha-kids can escape with the Beta-Kid’s god powers. Hell, maybe Jane and John are the Mirthful Messiahs from Gamzee’s clown religion. Pranksters all the way.
Going to stop it here for today.
So the new fork rebrand is reminding me of Satan and of Queen Feferi’s ship. So now I am wondering if the Alpha-World was in association with the Alpha-Troll world, the one where the trolls grew up peacefully.
Jake is cool, I keep hearing a british accent out of that guy. And I love how he just rolls with delivering the rabbit to another time(dimension) without actually knowing what is going on. How did they even get that set up anyway? What power do they have to cross dimensions without realizing it.
And damn if they weren’t right by being penpals.
And we get the first hint of the mysterious Alpha-Bro. I want to name him….Zack. Zack or Kyle, those would fit. But him being as elusive as a child as he was as an adult is hilarious to me. No one can ever find that guy.
Well that was fun. Got to do an unintentional video, learn more about Jane and Jake. And how they are the Beta-version adult selves with a mix of all of the Beta-kids. I wonder if the Alpha-Dad looks like Beta-Dad.
I am probably use Alpha/Beta to distinguish the dimensions here. It will make things a hell of a lot easier.
But I am still wonder how the fuck Jake here was able to talk to Jade from another Dimension. AND work together to build the rabbit!
So wow. Was that a wild right from start to finish.
Cody being the secret anime president, and now confirm there are monsters in town, and they do have a mafia of sorts. VP has to be the witch (with ties to Zarei, interesting), and Cody is in charge.
I feel sad for Hijack’s death (maybe he possessed something?). Lisa has to be another monster, right? And maybe Starchman too (but I still think he is a human-fae man).
Violet and Cody fighting for Jeff intrigue me.
Dimitri being the missing member….did not see that coming. I thought it was a girl…and dead. So that makes me happy to know, yes he is a spectral, just not with the Cousinhood. Maybe we will get more backstory later.
All the kids got good character resolutions to all of their problems. Like, this was such a satisfying conclusion. Max staying to fight, Ed regains Isabel, Isaac feels like he belongs and is actually given information, and Isabel learning to be more gentle with her allies and enemies. They have all grown up, and I am proud of reading their journey.
So..I am going to stop here for today. It twas in recommendation that I should have a video started on Page 4082. Probably because it is now the reveal of who Lord English really is. Is it Cal? Bro? Gamzee’s other half? A pool-table muppet monster? Who Knows! (Well you guys do but that isn’t really the point)
So expect a long……long video tomorrow, since the recommendation was to just “continue for a while”. I probably won’t do any other posts besides the video, so enjoy that while you can.
Hussie speaks to my soul, Scratch’s plan to just make Ancient Aradia into a minion of Lord English is terrible and terrifying and heart breaking. And out of everything to kill English, it was literally Hussie just being there, that is sad yet beautiful to know.
See Ya!
So that was fun.
Hijack reveals himself to be a fully functioning baby that has bad dramatics, but does have a good heart and believes in the kids powers over Lucifer’s depression.
Spender’s Shadow Spirit is horrifying and I hate it and it will destroy the world as we know it.
Isaac: War Criminal almost added to his record and killed a man (that needs to be addressed, and should be addressed) but at least the kids have reunited to take down Hijack. (even though, there are still many issues to talk over)
And I was FUCKING RIGHT. Dimitri is a Spectral. He knows all this shit but wants nothing to do with it. So he is purposefully trying to fuck things up so Suzy won’t know. Probably because this is like the only semblance of normality and a chill life that this kid can get. So much power murder vibes in that little body of his.
So I am going to stop it here for today.
The story of Signless: Troll Jesus was really fucking cool to read. I love the art, I love the story. The fact that the Cancer Sign were chains to represent the pain he went through and the anger hidden withing.
The fact that he was raised by a Troll who just gave up her life to support his.
How he and Ancient Nepeta were the ultimate OTP, and how Equius gave up everything to help her when TJ died.
The fact that the Ancestor’s were so intertwined in their stories, with Mindfang knowing about Signless and connects to his story through Other Equius.
And how there were still followers of TJ, because how else would Karkat have survived? They probably used the bloody holy leggings to breed a lusus to care for him.
Ancient Queen Feferi is evil and murdery.
I have to wonder if the reason Sollux got headaches and in pain was because he sensed his other Ancient self (who was still alive on the ship) at the same time.
I have a feeling that TJ’s last word was FUCK. It fits the 4 letter pattern of the other kids DNA sequence, as well as Karkat’s own angry behavior.
And was fucking right. This Aradia was the Ancestor Aradia who actually came into the future after all of this as one of the last remaining Trolls. So Scratch snapped her up, and I guess training her to be a new battery for Queen-Feferi as a bartering chip to get her to work for him.
God he is a cruel man, I hope Hussie does beat him up with the broom.
I think I am going to stop here for the day. Got a cool logo and everything, what a cliffhanger.
So Scratch is a pedophile, kidnaps children for servitude, and isn’t above using torture to mold the perfect servant soldier. I hate him, I always thought he was creepy, and I am fucking ecstatic that Hussie bugs the shit out of him. You go my weird weird man. I salute you!
I have no idea when Scratch got his claws on Aradia, but she is still fucking fighting back every way she can and I support her. As much as I dislike her committing suicide, I understand why she would make that choice, and think that she is fucking brave for fighting back and choosing it.
Jack Noir is Cancer and the timer was to kill the universe god frog, that was terrifying.
And this Signless guy. The reset seems to switch the people in their roles of Ancestors and Players. The Reset means that they current trolls use to live in the past, and their ancestors were the ones who couldn’t defeat the game. I, sort of want to know what that was like. What their lives could have been, on a happy, peaceful Alternia.
But Karkat’s Ancestor, Signless, he was the former player, but he remembers. He somehow managed to fucking remember. Meaning that he could have planted something to help the Trolls out, and the Human Kids have a chance too. They can still possibly remember.
I hope that is the case.
So last night I was tired, so I get to do my sum up right here. Over what the fuck just happened.
Well…I was right with Karkat making Cancer. But I thought that was just referring to himself, that he was the cancer/outlier. The idea that the holy universe frog having cancer is bizarre and hilarious if it also wasn’t fucking tragic. Because ever since Karkat got into this awful space lab, he has been blaming himself more and more over what happened. Trying to find like the one thing he fucked up that fucked everything up. And it hurts reading that because he did everything right, and how fucked up is it to think that all of those deaths and tragedies were actually necessary for the timeline.
Jade and Vamp!Kanaya trying to keep Karkat distracted in helping with the frog hunt was kind, but it hurts. Because I do remember Karkat telling Kanaya that he was talking to both Jade and her future self before shit went down.
Moving onto the frog hunts, did Jade get the ultimate frog yet? Because it is weird that it was just chillin’ on Earth until it got zapped and died! I mean, I hope she got the last of the frog puzzle.
Jade should not be so chill having Jack follow her around like this. I mean, yes treat him like a dog because he would probably hate that, but it is just WAY too dangerous to have him by you. I mean, I get he can’t kill you, but he can still do something!! I don’t Like it.
And Jade has to transport the equivalent of 4 planet populations into the next Earth….that is going to be tricky.
The Arm-Dildo keeps popping up everywhere. I have no idea what it wants or if it is just waving at people or what. Because I am sure that thing has appeared since Act 2. Like the Ink-Oil Splots, it just keeps coming back.
Aradia is just chilling by the Sun to implode it, and now Sollux is a zombie? I mean, one eye is black and the other is white, and they were both black when he first became blind. So I am thinking that he is half dead and half alive. Binary powers, activate. At least we know that Rose and Dave will be alright and arrive with Aradia. But now Rose can’t give John her message because Dave is going to save her. Maybe she can text him later.
Then there is Gamzee. I honestly thought that the Gamzee-Tavros talk was in a dream bubble, but it could also be a flashback. God, I can’t believe that we actually got to see their worst rap. I know that back then I was glad to skip it, but now I am glad to read it.
But I don’t know how to feel about Gamzee/Tavros together….I do not see it at all.
And it got creepy with sober!Gamzee kissing Tavros’s head and wanting Dave’s head for a bloody pb&j. Yikes.
Love Life aside, Gamzee used the powers of nightmares (I didn’t know he had those powers) to fucking create Cal. And Cal is telling Gamzee to murder. And I don’t know if Cal was always sentient and evil, or if Gamzee is off his rocker and is just hearing voices now, but that puppet was born out of nightmares and revenge and thus I would not be surprised if the Shadow thing behind Gamzee was Cal moving around. I hated the puppets since Act1, and now I am validated for it.
And is it also suspicious that the video sent to Gamzee for the future to freak him out in the first place was given to Dave by a Betty Crocker logo that knows Dave’s name?
Because now I think that the thing locked in Scratch’s room is Betty Crocker, the evil Lusus of this planet/time scale.
And he was going to whack her with a broom. -_-
K, I am ending it here. I have gone through a lot and I am tired.
Hell I even fucking passed page 4000. When the fuck did that happen?
Well, I am super tired, so I am going to do the wrap up later, like next session. Or add on to this, who knows.
A lot has happened and I need a bit to process it when I am not tired.
Scratch is gone and I am done. Why? I like the mini stories, but just why? Why must they continue on like this, I am getting tired.
Rose is about to be killed before doing her own suicide mission. And….get the irony of me being worried about her dying when she was on her way TO die, but I just wanted her to live, like the 3rd option.
Because yeah, having dark monster gods saying that it was Rose’s destiny to nuke a green sun is a bit shady here. Not going to lie. I don’t trust them picking Rose as a pilot here.
Dave is afraid of DD from when his other self killed him like a ghost image.
And the Denizens are actually decent monster people, and are helping Jade with creating frogs. But it has to hurt knowing what will happen to Karkat in his future, and not saying anything about it.
Well, that was a fucking twist wasn’t it?
Like, I said that what if Spender was possessed by Hijack, but I thought it would be more of a loose hovering where Spender would think he is fine but have Hijack nudge him here and there. I never thought that Hijack was in him this entire time!!! God, and he was being so friendly with everyone too. And he picked Isabel to what, make sure she was a decent human being??
And the fact that all of this was Zarei’s fault! Hajack gave her information that she wanted (Spender’s wound) But she saw Hijack in the picture due to Lucifer’s light probably. He gave you your information Zarei, but at what fucking cost!
The kids are so screwed attacking the principal like that.
And Isabel and Isaac’s fight. Damn, I know that was long time coming, and I now we are still going to talk about it more. But it was so hurtful to read, and their problems aren’t being solved. They aren’t healing by dwelling or ignoring it for so long. Spender needs to get his ass in gear to help these traumatize kids!!!
And fuck, Garcia…..I am so so sad right now. God, I am RJ crying over invisible jets right now. Because if he is gay, that means I have no chance. I have no chance with that big tired tough crazy man and that makes me so so sad….at least he is happy with Spender if he is able to notice how weird Spender was acting.
but if he is Bi…..I have a Chance People!!! (please be bi)
…..WAIT A FUCK
If Garcia told Isaac that Spender was acting fishy, why the fuck didn’t Isaac tell the other kids??? I get that your mad Isaac, but THINK AHEAD!!!
Well that was fun. The joys of fucking up a rescue mission. And I know/like Haley and Elan together, but Elan is just way too puppy like for Roy, so I also sort of ship them together to.
Order of the Stick Theory #13: The meet a mafia man named Stick and he game them orders to fulfill their first quest.
