Yo this is a lot of dialogue and I got other shit to do so I am ending it here.
Scratch is a pretentious ass. He is working for English and wants to die to let English be evil in this world I guess. No idea who English’s real name is (I am still thinking Cal, but Gamzee was nominated as “most important homestuck character”).
Slick is my boy and I am so glad he is back. He even got Vriska’s arm and eyepatch like a badass.
And Rose is right to ask questions on Scratch’s bullshit, his omissions, and motives. And his creepiness.
The Scratch is a fucking record scratch, and does a fucking hard reset of the world. I do not like the concept of losing your entire being to do this, and I hope someone finds a way to do something to preserve themselves as they get flung back.
I am done. Done-o. Finite! That was a long as lore dump, where it wasn’t even lore, just them dragging out everything to this one point.
So the memory bubbles can allow people to talk from different times. Which explains how Feferi was dead when she talked to Jade before she even died.
I wish the kids didn’t have to be dead, but at least they can wake up and fall asleep to talk to each other.
I guess the friends Jadesprite made was also the other trolls since the bubbles also include the offshoots.
So Dad’s wallet with the computer was stuffed into Cal. Cal was kept by Jack. Jack went into the Troll Server and threw Cal onto an Aradia who died via crash landing meteor in the past. Past!Aradia discovered the other ruins and Cal and the wallet. She gave Kanaya the puppet to fix and gave Cal better clothes.
In the life of that Past Aradia, Gamzee went nuts way too early and killed everyone and wrote his shitty bloodstained dna life-code. So she stole the book, but lost it when Karkat’s computer exploded.
The bad guys took that book (like with Bec) and used it to zero in on Cal and the Crystal Ball (which is probably Rose’s, let’s be real) which then created Scratch.
Scratch was screwing with the Trolls because they were his creators through their actions.
Scratch wants the humans to help him die because he was created through their stuff that was thrown into the Troll’s past.
God, the Troll’s and Human’s game is so entangled that it is basically like two sets of yarn that got so tangled up that you can’t even hope to begin to untangle it.
Well, they found the green sun. Just follow the dreams of dead children to get to it. Or dive into Jack’s chest, whichever is easier.
Fucking Jack ruins everything. Him and his Spades hate for the rest of the world. I am so glad that he is forcibly conflicted about his feelings with Jade because he is partly consumed by Bec’s feelings for her. But he is still an evil dick man and I hate him. He murdered a regular dinner party crying out loud!
Which, while I am sad that they are dead, maybe they should have been looking for their kids instead of doing that shit? I mean, just saying.
But having DD be like nagging about Jack doing the right shit is hilarious and I love that.
Droll is an idiot, but at least he has the rabbit. Give John his special powerful rabbit back, and they can be kickass gods together.
And Jack being in the future to mess with the kids, that was his future. So the Scratch thing happened (which is the kids fault I think Karkat said?) and that sucked up Jack from fucking with everyone Human Side, to fucking with everyone Troll Side. Just to get the timeline right. Stay stuck in the time bubble you rat.
So the video, I was waiting for a glorious battle, but it turns out that Kanaya just one-shot K.O. EVERYONE there. She kicked a murderer in the balls, that is still fucking hilarious to me.
Gamzee is going to come back, I just know it, but she still kicked a clown in the balls.
I was Fucking Right about the Vampires!!! Kanaya is a vampire, of daywalker, or whatever Trolls call vampires. I don’t know how she was turned into one (Karkat’s kiss? or a latent thing she always had since she was little?) but damn if she doesn’t use it to her fullest potential.
And Vriska is now back with a crush on her, but will Kanaya actually care this time around? We shall see.
So I am going to end it here for today. Better prepare for a video tomorrow morning.
So…I do like Vriska and John together. And now I no that Hussie is evil even it comes to love because when two characters are showing the smallest notion of love, they die.
Feferi/Sollux, and Nepeta/Equius are good examples. And Jack is attacking Dad and Mom there, so there is that too.
Vriska is going to die by clowns, or Terezi. I 100% believe that Terezi is now a vampire. Why else the bite marks? And she is under Kanaya’s control. God white vampire powers are stupid.
And I was fucking right, 3 way mexican murderer standoff between Vriska, Eridan, and Gamzee. I would hope that Vriska and Eridan can put aside their differences to deal with the bigger threat, but who knows.
The journal was cool to read, I now get why Vriska can be like that with her journal as a guide on life.
John is drilling his way to the bomb…I hope he doesn’t accidentally set it off.
I am tired, I am done, I did a lot, and am going to bed.
So many conversations. So Many.
Vriska does have a emotional tenderness to her, and John is actually helping her coax it out. It was cool to hear about her past, it was sweet to see John be so open with her. And fine, fuck it. yeah I do see them together as Diamonds/Moirails. I accept this.
Karkat being terrified of what Terezi might type is valid. And I feel so sorry that he thinks that giving them all life was a horrible thing. Sollux is awake, but was blind due to Eridan. At least he isn’t hearing voices anymore. Hopefully those three can team up to try and deal with the murderers of Gamzee and Eridan. Vriska seems to mellowed out so maybe they can be a team of four?
If they are lucky no one else dies yet.
I still don’t know where Kanaya’s body went to. I still think she is a vampire.
The signs are for Blood Color, not specific Trolls and I couldn’t have been more happier for that.
And Dave and Araida….not going to lie, I did not expect to see the afterlife in this comic. And I don’t trust it. Like, dream bubble is one thing, but the game keeps the souls as their afterlife? That…that is another thing. Something that I don’t trust.
I want to see an Army of Ghost Daves rise up to help, because I don’t trust this bullshit Time God, and I don’t trust Aradia.
Sure she has her emotions….but she seems to be creepily intend on keeping them for as long as she can. While valid, I am still going to watch out for her.
So that was fun. We have ended our first story/arc of this comic. But while they were victorious, it left a few plot threads ready to make a comeback the next time around, (a good choice really). And we finally get to see what life is like outside the cave. I think this entire time we were in that one cave with only a few flashbacks on the outside world. So time to see how life on the outside is like!!!
Order of the Stick Theory #8: The group got together on ebay to order a really cool sword, but instead they were sent a stick that they use for a weapon.
So there are now vampires here(Kanaya is a vampire I just know it). Gamzee is taking the dead bodies and using them for who knows what. It has gotten to the point where the only people alive are the murders and Karkt’s favorite people. And instead of continuing with this we just end up with John crashing another car and moving on to him. That’s great. Like I didn’t want to know what was going to happen with a clown murderer
The kids have managed to gather together and try to find hijack, but it was too left as it left Jeff into a teacher or principal. Who know what he is looking for. Hopefully the kids can get a game plan to capture him.
Johnny is trying to deal with what happened in class by Jeff, and honestly that is a lot to take in for him. Hijack did everything to get under his skin and it worked pretty well. But Johnny is a brave boy and he will soldier on. Starting with Ed.
Forge regretting what he did to Johnny, even when Johnny can’t hear, is interesting. I can’t wait to see them interact.
Suzy is still trying to get dirt, but I think Dimitri is a spectral and is trying to prevent her from knowing to much. It is the only thing that makes sense in my mind.
And finally, I have a new theory. Isaac is canon now 13. So, this still supports my theory of “13 years ago bullshit happens Isaac is born but some ghost shit happened that screwed with him and the Consorts.” And now I have added in a new layer to that.
Isaac and Cody are brothers.
There is no way that being THAT anime and not be related. Isaac said that the spirit possession dyed his hair and made it spiky, so maybe he was born with black hair? Possible twins???
I was thinking twins, but then Isaac being 13 and Cody being in a 7th grade gym class it might not work, but Cody could have been held back or at the very least they were separated from birth and Cody thinks he is a year younger.
Either way, Cody and Isaac are brothers, and Spender is their weird uncle where they learned all of their anime extra-ness from.
No no, I am not touching this yet. I don’t know if it is the real Terezi, or a clown in disguise.
You know, I never really understand why people were afraid of clowns, but after reading this I now get why.
Karkat is running out of options, people. The biggest powerhouse on his side is Equius, as long as he stays on his side. I have a fear that Equius would let Gamzee manipulate him because of the highblood bullshit. Hopefully, he can just focus on beating the shit out of Eridan like the Hulk on Loki and won’t run into Gamzee. Hopefully.
And John can’t talk to Karkat because he is trapped into talking to Past!Karkat. Hopefully there will be a way for John to help. Hopefully.
But I have a good idea. If the Troll’s Meteor is around Earth, maybe Rose can do a Troll rescue mission instead of a Green Sun suicide mission? Pull them to a planet and work together? Would be better than just running around trying to nuke something out can’t even find. And they wouldn’t be trapped in a small place anymore.
that is probably a good idea, especially for the posts I made that do have the gifs and are fast pace. I will try to tag as much as I can with that, hopefully I don’t think there is a lot, but we will see.
I got to see some nice and pure fluff from my two sweet kids and I am so happy. After all of that Fuckery from yesterday. I am content.
The parents are ok, thought I wish that they would try to look for their kids instead of going on a date. Just saying.
Jade will get her frog army and thaw out her island.
Mayor will wear the ring, going to be exciting when that happens.
And John is way too forgiving over being dead. But I can’t fault him for it, because it is why I love him so much.
And now, oh Karkat.
Because I know that John is waiting for the 1st time, but that is like when John is in Lava World or something. And it was stated that Karkat’s second conversation was when he told John everything that had happened. Which means that either Karkat lied and there are still more conversations with his past self…or this is Karkat from the present with everyone dying on him or turning evil.
god, all of that, all of that was so emotionally draining
I don’t think I was ever that sad and scared and angry in any part of homestuck until this moment.
First there was that fucking video. Eridan…why did you have to go and fuck things up? Why?? It wasn’t necessary. You want side with JACK, of ALL people??? How trash are you! This is why you kept killing angels, you were a fucking devil!
Sollux didn’t deserve it, Feferi didn’t deserve it, Kanaya didn’t deserve it. It all happened so fast. Eridan fucking killed the orb too, spite, anger, there was NO reason for that. He just wanted to kill any/all hope there was. Fuck His Inferiority Complex.
Then Gamzee….oh fuck that was just all terrifying to read. I read him talking as him shouting/clamly stating every other line and it was so terrifying to see. I thought he was nice, I thought he was cool. I was fucking reaching when I said that it would take him being the fucking antichrist to be in my bottom 3!!!
He scares me.
A Lot.
Because he sounds like he is about to bring on an apocolypse himself. I don’t know his skill, abilities, but if Karkat is scared shitless then I have no reason not to be. I feel like he is going to tear everyone apart and if he fights Jack I don’t even know what the lesser of two evils.
The worst part is that it sounds like Gamzee does believe in this blood caste crap, even to the point to fanaticalism, even worse than Eridan. I…I get the feeling that Equius might be under his swap becasue that is what Equius visualized/fantasized about a high-blood caste member. And I am not sure how well that is going to go.
Which makes him wanting his “best friend” by him so fucking terrifying. Like….is he toying with Karkat? Does he know about the red blood? Does he really want Karkat to be with him, safe? Or…or is he setting up something…
And I don’t even know about the horn pile!
“Don’t turn your back on the body” What BODY!!!
SCRATCH WHAT BODY!!!!
THERE ARE 3 BODIES ALREADY AND POSSIBLY A FEW MORE CAN YOU BE SPECIFIC?!?!
God all of this is terrifying and none of the others know about this.
Terezi knows about Tavros, but only him, and she blames Vriska about it (which is true)
She doesn’t know about Eridan’s murders.
Eridan doesn’t know about Tavros.
Everyone but Karkat doesn’t know about Gamzee!
When Eridan and Vriska meet: One wanting to join Jack, the other kill him, they are going to tear each other to shred.
And throw Gamzee into that? Oh this will be a nightmare. Maybe something worse than what Jack could be.
I…the only hope I have is that….Jade asked for a password from Kanaya…meaning that they do talk together again right? Kanaya is going to revive and talk to future Jade about the Fade Out right?? I just need Kanaya to revive again. They can’t die now, they can’t die yet. There has to be a way….right?
So this is as good of a time as any to bring this up.
You guys have been sending me a lot of asks, and I am grateful to receiving them.
However, lately there tend to be more corrections than asks lately. Like if I miss one detail or forgot one thing from before. I don’t mind being correct on past information, but sometimes it gets to be too much. Especially when there are like 20 anons saying the same thing of me missing something.
So me and the ask-screeners decided to not send me over any corrections. The Asks should still try to ask me something for my answer, or maybe a shit-post idea for me to draw to.
If you want to correct me on an idea/term that I might have overlooked or forgotten, please head over toThe Discord. You can talk to me in real time so that I can fix myself before moving on (a lot of people caught spelling mistakes this way, the system works).
And correction-type stuff sent through the asks will be promptly ignored. I want to interact with you, but I want the asks to be more fun instead of just pointing out all the stuff I missed/got wrong. I mean, that is part of the fun, to see how my views differ to how you guys all read it, right?
So I shall stop here. I shall post this video later.
So that was a wonderful conversation. They goal of the game is to make frog jesus to explode as the universe, and they need to do one of those tapping games to collect and grow the frogs.
Damn is that a lot of work.
They need to cut down the time on this.
Scratch having his hands in everything is unnerving, and I am afraid to see what his role really is.
Hijack got what he wanted, but he has a thing against bullies and being a bully. Is he a kid/a spirit of a kid before being a brain thing? Is that what the Wii thing was about, friends?
Well…maybe Hijack can tell Max how ghosts can hold shit so he can give PJ something.
Johnny and Max bonding is like the best thing. I support their friendship!
Ed is having too much problems with Isabel. I mean, yes a time and place for everything, but Isabel didn’t have to brush Ed off like that, especially with avoid him all day too.
Spender and Lucifer have issues. No idea what happened 13 years ago, how they captured the shadow, what “super power” they and the ghosts are looking for, and Spender does need to chill but not for the reasons that Lucifer is giving out.
You know the episode in Teen Titans where Cyborg becomes so upset with capturing Billy be transforms himself into a robot until Beast Boy convinces him to slow down with origami? That is what I am thinking of with Spender.
And I now have a theory that Spender is Isaac’s uncle. Hear me out: Older sister died in childbirth to Isaac.
First, that fucking video. Like Jack’s rampage was really hardcore and so hard to watch. That fucking music took me to the zone!!!
Aradia blew up and died so she became god, I guess she made sure she was on the Bed this entire time for when it was good to die again, and turn into God-Mode. She fucking paused Jack, but I don’t know how long that will take.
Fucking Vriska, I knew you were going to fight Tavros but you Fucking Killed Him!!! Why! He was your friend!!! Do you really not care about everything you went through!?! Jegus on a pogo stick!
I can only hope Terezi can do something to help, because he doesn’t have a dream body anymore, and this is his last life.
Jade knows about the black out. I am thinking that when Jade talks to Rose, that is where their end plan is happening, and they don’t want Anyone to know about it. Not even their past selves. Hence the password. I mean, that is why they turned off the 4th wall, right? So this secret thing is super big.
Kanaya is going to face motherhood. I don’t think it is wise to raise a kid in the middle of a meteor in less than 4 hours, but what do I know. Maybe it will help.
So that was the first chapter of Gunnerkrigg Court.
I really like it. There wasn’t a lot in terms of plot or setting up characters like in the other webcomics, but there was a lot of atmosphere here. Like, every panel reading this, I get a Night-Vale fairy tale vibe. Like a dark but sweet and simple story.
On my Fibonacci Scale of 1 to 21, I would give this a 13. There is something very charming and poetic in it’s simplicity.
No. Nyet. Nien. I am stopping here. This was too much. Too much people.
All of the morse code and everything, Mayor is having the shittest dream ever, and I do hope he wakes up for something better. It is awful that he still feels that he is a monster/his revolution was his fault, and I hope he gets his happy end.
Man, that was an exciting conclusion of Hitball. I felt like I was watching an anime reading that, so many twists and turns. Baiting the hero, like 5 different strategies on BOTH sides. Johnny and Max bonding. Dimitri is so chill and I liked him when I first saw him, and now I Super like him more.
And Hijack is gone. Me might be in Jeff, but I am not to sure. I know Isabel is, but I don’t know. Hijack sounds like hired help, meaning someone wants in on this school. My guess it is the Cousinhood, since we don’t know who they are yet, and this could be a good introduction to them. Just saying.
Cody is amazing and I want to adopt my anime son.
Some mystery person but the squid on Max. I think it was the same person to warn Max to duck. I think it is his mom, but it could be the Dark-Snake spirit in him too.
