I loving love "DEAD." When it showed up as a headline in the Derse newspaper, I actually laughed.

I like how that picture conveniently forgets about Nepeta's death, which was an outlier in being kind of sad and scary, but no less permanent. Also, Dave getting swiss cheesed by Jade was hilarious, and he bounced back from that just fine. (Speaking of, being blown up by a ton of shaving cream and having your killer do a happy little jig is pretty undignified as well, and once again she came back.)

Nic Cage wistfully smiling on Vriska's death was pretty funny, so I guess that can go in the "permanent" stack.

An Aranea/Rose Pesterlog will be as long as Act 5.2, so I doubt that pair will ever meet.

Welp, update. Long-winded prattling aside, Aranea has the surest grip on the multidimensional timeline aspect of the game as anyone we've seen, without slipping into nihilism as, say, Aradia was prone to. Karkat would benefit from this little speech too, if he had the patience to sit through it all and digest it (credit to Terezi, I'd never really thought of her as the listening type). Not much new information here though. We hear that Terezi's still guilty, and the explanation doesn't defer her guilt in a "there's nothing you could've done, it was fate" way without blaming her either. Very even-handed. I'd still like to hear more about what happened with Aranea and why she's here now though, we've yet to hear why she's chosen to show herself.

Areana is very well-spoken. She's long-winded but in such a way that it doesn't feel long-winded until you finish the paragraph. It's kind of funny since Mindfang's journal was the most purple prose incomprehensible writing there could be, and yet Aranea herself has produced what may have been one of the easiest chatlogs to read relative to the complexity of the subject-matter. I understand a lot of the stuff now a lot more too. The vein metaphor was fantastic.

As to why she's chosen now to show herself, they are probably in tune with her role as a Hero of Light (probably Seer) determining the best path towards the future of her race. edit: inserted the word "previously" without which these words wouldn't have made much sense.

Hmmmm, some interesting things to note here -confirmation that Doc. Scratch is not coming back -the only living Trolls (to Aranea's knowledge) are the meteor group and a 'fugitive' (uu/UU?) -A1 Trolls had a problem player too (Meenah?) -Aranea being a Hero of Light is interesting... but she doesn't specify what class she is. She seems to have more knowledge about it, so Seer maybe? Silph? -totally speculation but I'm going to assume that the Summoner's A1 version went Godtier, and the wings 'carried over', sort of like the Sufferer's memories

Yeah, it's probably the Condesce. She's not part of that "group" that Aranea was directly talking about. E: I wonder if Terezi will ask her about the Cancer necklace.

An Aranea, Rose, Aradia, Dirk, and Auto-Responder pesterlog. It shall be longer than Act 5 in its entirety. (note: I just picked Aradia because she seemed the most wordy. There's probably a more obvious one I'm missing (Karkat doesn't count)) Color Printer fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Mar 27, 2012 |

I don't know how the Condesce could possibly be there, she arrived on Scratch's moon long after the trolls entered the medium. I assume she was presented with an alternate method to entering the other universe. Then again, they aren't in the medium anymore, but the Furthest Ring is weird and I don't know how the Condesce could have just gotten on there in the last year.

She was referring to survivors of the troll race. The "fugitive" is most definitely the Condesce, since she's the only living troll who isn't part of Terezi's group. We still don't know exactly what UU/uu is/are.

I don't know why but this latest page is the first time Homestuck's occasional longwindedness broke my patience and I thought "Ugh just get on with it." I got through wizard fanfiction, troll romance exposition, and mindfang's journals without complaint and it's this that finally bores me.

This was informative in a lot of ways. I'm guessing she doesn't bring up her class because it simply isn't important. The Light tag tells us all we need to know. Nthing that the fugitive is the Condesce. The Condesce being Alternian Meenah is something I'd failed to really consider. A total douche in both iterations I see!

I'm thinking it's the Troll Empress as well. The "fugitive" wording might come from the fact that she's now working for Lord English, who is (directly or indirectly) opposing what's left of the trolls from getting the ultimate reward and restoring their species. Remember, he's the one who started all of the problems in Homestuck by glitching the A1 session so that it'd prevent the A1 trolls from making themselves and their ancestors. If he didn't do that, then the A1 trolls might've had a chance at winning. Even if they scratched, they wouldn't have become a bloodthirsty species because there would be no Doc Scratch. The possible A2 trolls wouldn't end up powergaming through their session and making a defected Genesis Frog because they were sublimely trained to powergame through their session instead of slowing taking it and absorbing the lessons. This would lead to no B1 Jack Noir, and so on and so on. Also, I'm pretty sure that the "I feel as though we had one of the worst cases in our party." line is referring to Meenah. Meenah's been nothing but trouble so far, so I could see her constantly antagonizing the people in her session for the hell of it.

Isn't it weird that both aranea and vriska were heroes of light? I thought ancestors and players had different powers - the humans sure as hell do, take dave and bro for example. They're time and heart.
