When did "Kids and Fun" become shorthand for "Everyone dying tragically/hilariously"? I see a lot of people say it whenever Jack starts stabbing folks.

It's a reminder of what the comic is really about and that any tragedy is usually but a part of paving the road to future absurd bullshit.

I hope Davesprite used his sprite powers to animate John's message, resulting in an [S] page on 12/25.

Also, I just noticed that Davesprite still abbreviates to DS. That's neat.

I really hope Karkat reads John's note and Davesprite replaced certain words too.

So you have all this blue text and then there's some random orange text saying something embarrassing.

Disappointed that this didn't happen, but Karkat's faces make up for it.

No one should ever let John write a note again.

Wait a minute how does Karkat know what anime is? Was there a Troll Japan on Alternia?

edit: John should be ashamed for using such lewd phrases. Won't somebody think of the children?

You can find this and other great titles at your local library
^^ Troll anime is a highly sophisticated and celebrated art form. Only crass peasants would fail to appreciate its beauty.

Gotta love Karkat's reaction to "we all contributed to the contents of this bucket".

What?

They have troll anime. It has beautiful stories. One of my favorites is "A young man nearly dies to what appears to be an insurmountable foe, but rises to overcome his weakness and gains strength as the villain places progressively stronger enemies in his way". That's the abridged title anyway.

But who cares, a baka gaijin like you couldn't understand the deeper meanings anyway.

Oh man, that's a classic. My favorite episode is "Two Combatants Continually Power Themselves Up In Flamboyant Showmanshippy Fashion Whilst Everyone Else Watches And Talks About How Awesome They Are," from the "Season Immediately Following Everyone Training Offscreen For Months Or Years" season. :swoon:

Come on, troll television has normal short names, like Thresh Prince. It's only their movies that have really long titles.

Wait, would Troll Anime be from a continent on Alternia that spoke a different language from the primary trolls, or is imported from one of the many conquered alien races?

Otherwise it's just Troll Cartoons.

I still hope Mindfang shows up and doesn't know what the gently caress when this nerdy looking human child acts so unbelievably excited about meeting her. And then she just chalks it up to how awesome she is.

Wait, why does everyone keep saying they hope Mindfang shows up? Is there some fan speculation that she didn't actually die? Or is this just like, "Oh man, it would be TOTALLY RAD if . . . " Because in that case I hope the Summoner shows up and gores somebody on one of his massive horns.

On the subject of only-somewhat-crazy-speculation, we genuinely have no idea what happened to the pre-scratch ancestors, the players of the original troll session. It's entirely possible any one of them could be alive and escaped their own scratch. I think that's where those ideas come from.

I hadn't actually considered the possibility before. On the other hand, if any of the Pre-Scratch trolls escaped the Scratch in hopes of helping to shape a better outcome, they didn't really do a very good job.

I dont think Hussie is ever gonna elaborate on how the pails work. (Thank god). In my head though, it will always be through vomiting into a bucket, just because I think that it is funny.

That was a spinoff from the "I hope Beta-Vriska shows up from the 'timeline' Terezi saw with her mind powers" line of reasoning.

So many people want Vriska to come back (despite her arc really being well tied up at this point) that I want one of the inconsequential characters to rise from the dead just for the twist. Tavros or Feferi turn up and continue to be pretty inconsequential but present, or maybe Eridan shows up and becomes some scheming minor antagonist again.
