Is there nothing free from the batterwitch's gnarled claws? Next we'll find out Gamzee is behind all the flavors of Fruit Gushers too.

You'd think it would be painfully obvious that any and all discussion of "where did Gamzee get those potions from?" would have incredibly disgusting implications.

So why are we trying to have this discussion? It's a joke, a funny one at that! Let's leave it at that and go back to talking about his codpiece. Maybe somebody can bring up the original art?

If we accept Karkat's analysis of Tavros and Vriska from ages ago as being correct, then wouldn't a sprite prototyped with both of them result in a somewhat well-balanced individual? That is to say, if Vriska's "BRAIN IS BROKEN, KIND OF LIKE TAVROS'S BUT ON THE OPPOSITE HEMISPHERE."

A spider-bull seems kind of awful, though.

Given Hussie's track record, trying to prototype those two together would probably result in a sprite with two broken halves instead of two working halves of a brain. With all the strength of a normal-sized spider, and the grace, cunning and intelligence of a bull.

While this is a funny interlude, I do wonder if there still isn't more to Gamzee's appearance than this. There very well might not be, of course (would be no surprise if that's that), but maybe there is.

Hell, we were talking about the possibility of troll remains being shoved into the sprite just recently, maybe a vial of troll blood will count? Hussie, hold a vote on your forums for which vial Jane should accidentally drop in her sprite! It'd probably break the site.

That God-Tier one seemed fine when we last saw him. But that guy and Feferi are likely from an alternate session.

VVVV Vriska doesn't seem to be a person that keeps close tabs on Gamzee. Dude's all over the place, to be honest.

I was going to say they'd pretty much have to be, since only Vriska hit God Tier, but then I remember Gamzee and I don't know what to think anymore.

Was it ever "confirmed" that Vriska was the only one who hit God Tier during the session? I could have sworn she said she was the only one who did it.

It was definitely said at some point, I believe by both Vriska AND Terezi. But that doesn't necessarily disprove the theory earlier in the thread that Gamzee somehow reached God Tier without anyone else knowing. Or maybe even WITH someone else knowing (Karkat, most likely, in this case) and keeping it secret. But yeah, we saw so relatively little of the trolls' session, it's entirely plausible. Hell, maybe even his dreamself was on a quest slab inside Prospit when Jack blew it up, for all we know.

Based on the flash where John ascended, it seems Skaia goes confetti-fanfare bananas when someone goes Godtier on a quest bed/trollcocoonthingy. If Gamzee went Godtier during the troll's session, they probably would have known about it.

Aradia ascended without anybody realizing it until they met her in dream bubbles, and it still wasn't common knowledge until the intermission. Gamzee easily could have been the same way. There was no dream body to turn our backs on.

Don't dreamselves return to their towers when they go to sleep/their waking selves wake up? I'm pretty sure Gamzee was awake during Prospit being explodified and the only reason Aradia got away with being on her second death slab thing was because she was dead pre-entry.

Which still seems to require huge explosions and a drat lot of green fire. So I'm going to bank on the second idea of Gamzee dressing up like that because why the motherfuck not?

Maybe Gamzee went God Tier at the same exact time as Vriska.

Vriska didn't notice him on Skaia because he was too blurry.

Gamzee ate so much sopor over the sweeps that he just sort of became his own Quest Cocoon.

(You might object that we saw Vriska's and it didn't have any sopor in it, but that's clearly just because Gamzee ate it all.)

Back during the troll killing spree Karkat was pretty scared of the thought of Gamzee trying to kill everyone, which was a little odd given that what everyone had seen of his combat prowess so far had been mostly him eating slime pies with imps and one joke attack against the black king. Yet, after watching Eridan kill two and a half people, what really scared Karkat was receiving a threatening instant message. If he had prior knowledge that Gamzee was God Tier, that'd make more sense.

Karkat also commented about how Gamzee's attack on the Black King surprised everyone, presumably himself included. Going as far as to say that the title of "Bard of Rage" was thought to be a joke prior to that attack.

"He's also known as 'BlueInkAlchemist'."
"Who calls him that?"
"Himself, mostly."
Something to consider is that when we see Gamzee fighting on LOTAM (in [S] Make Her Pay), he's using Clubkind. Jokerkind only appears much later when he's on his killing spree. Perhaps Jokerkind was only unlocked after he reached God Tier? Maybe he died on LOTAM, because he was alone, while most of the other trolls were teamed up. On the other hand, Deuce Clubs still appears in his Jokerkind specibus, but it's a thought.
