This is the best idea and it can't make anything more awkward in any way whatsoever.

(I get the impression Davesprite knows what's up but didn't tell John because it's funny.)

Davesprite is the best loving character. I hope 70% of the intermission content in Act 6 is "Davesprite gives John poo poo."

And who called Karkat's expression? I know someone did.

So, I got to John calling Jade a furry, but 'one of the good ones'. Lost my poo poo.

Then, catch up with this thread, find Promstuck, blitz through that. Lose my poo poo a couple times.

Then one of you posts Jade tearing into a tiger. Lose my poo poo. Someone posts the link. Lose my poo poo again.

And then MOTHERFUCKING HUSSIE drops John launching a motherfucking PAIL into Karkat's dumb face.




I have no more poo poo to lose. The metaphorical funny bone is broken. I think I bruised my jaw.

So John is launching a rushed, low on context message, that Dave has ironically messed with, in a bucket at Karkat.

And then won't have contact with them for a long, long time.

There's no possible way that this won't end hilariously misinterpreted.

Yeah this is pretty much me. This update is a masterpiece. Davesprite going "ahahahaha you hosed up" on top of everything else is what killed it for me.

I can't wait to see how Karkat reacts to a bucket in the face on top of all of the other poo poo that just happened to him.

Ahahaha, Davesprite you're such an rear end

This update was incredible, but I can't help thinking he's reading this thread :tinfoil:

Well, I know he reads his own forums and interacts with his fans regularly, and the same points likely came up over there too but it was the food thing that really got me. We brought up the exact same concerns with the exact same solutions!

But man, I hope they get John's letter, that's like the last time they're gonna talk for three drat years. I'm really looking forward to Dave and Rose meeting up with the trolls, though, that's a meeting I've been looking forward to forever now.

And even with five planets and hundreds of aliens, John and Jade are still probably gonna end up hating each other. Sibling love~

Gods almighty, I have never felt this way about a webcomic. I absolutely cannot be satisfied. I NEED more, all the time, no matter how much I get. Everything about it is just so perfect. The whole group dynamic is changing, scores of once-divided characters are finally meeting and are guarenteed a long stretch to just, socialize. Chill out and play some fuckin scrabble. This kind of tempering to all the high-strung drama is just so cathartic.

I am having so much fun! :buddy:

everyone seems to be falling over themselves to explain what terrible thing must have happened to karkat to make him say that - my reading of it is just that he's disgusted at terezi's saccharine "triumph" line & the fact she gets on with her past / future self so well?

Is Karkat making that face due to the bucket, or can he not see it yet and it's due to seeing all his friends?

Karkat is gaping because Jack just arrived at the Green Sun. In a second a bucket is going to come flying out of nowhere and clock Jack on the head and Karkat is going to go loving nuts.

Goddamn it, John! You just gave five trolls with nothing to do for three years a bucket, JUST as they're going through adolescence. Dave better throw that thing into the Green Sun if they want even a moment's peace for the next three years.

But oh man, so glad there are Prospitians and Dersites around. Want to see more of those guys for sure. And Davesprite is Dave if he had cause to be existentially angry with John while John struggles to understand, so that'll be a fun way to spend three years. You think maybe they'll have trouble being friends since Davesprite will be acutely aware he's just a 'replacement Dave' for John and Jade, and once the three years are up they'll want to reunite with their 'real Dave'?

See, I think the opposite would happen. John would spend three years getting to know and becoming friends with Davesprite, and then when they all meet up again it'll be hard for him to be friends with Dave again, since he knows Davesprite so much better now.

Wait, didn't Davesprite change what was on the poster without touching it? Please tell me he somehow changed it to a love letter with John and Karkat's faces on the front of the poster. That would ruin Karkat for life.

No, no, the fandom is feeling too good. The bucket will clock one of the good guys just as they're about to combine forces to defeat Jack. That "clocked" individual will then either get skewered or fail to prevent a skewering.

Emotional whiplash will take place. The note, which otherwise would have been hilarious, will be read with heavy tragic irony.

In fact, beta Vriska has just shown up, having emerged victorious but an arm and an eye poorer from her fight with beta Jack. The bucket gets stuck on her head, leaving her blind (since she's lost her vision eightfold again) and unable to defend herself. It doesn't come off before her head does. John's note drops out with it, unfolding as it does so. (Because this distracts Jack long enough for everyone else to take care of him, it counts as heroic and sticks.)

Everybody's talking about John but I'd like to point out that Jade is the one opening a portal so the bucket bops Karkat square on the head. She's clearly the better prankster in this case.
