Honestly, I'm glad it's gone, and that Vriska and Tavros now have the chance to discuss lances and their application to torsos.

Yeah, I'm guessing it's the Land of Sand and Zephyr, and they just ended up back in dream bubbles. Isn't that where Dream Jade was hanging out before suddenly being thrust into sprite-dom?

Wait a second... Did Gamzee just facilitate the destruction of rage between Tavros and Vriska? And facilitate Jane's kernelsprite's destruction through rage?

I'm not certain this unholy amalgamation is gone, unfortunately. I don't think this recent panel actually shows Vriska and Tavros suddenly un-fused, it seems to be more like a peek inside their collective consciousness or something.

I believe you may have something there; Gamzee facilitated Tavros' potential to final accept some sort of hatred for his murderer, and Vriska may realize that she simply has too much hate, while at the same time using both of their combined rage for the purpose of removing a potentially obstructing game mechanic.

Okay, now we're going to cut away, but drat this is a conversation I'd like to see. Or at least see referenced later. There's no better source of empathy and understanding than walking a mile in someone's shoes. In a pinch mind-melding works too. There's always been a real understanding gap between these two, and that ordeal might help bridge it. Not to mention Tavros's desert planet is a good setting for such a showdown (not for any special reason, I just like deserts). Of all the guilty pleasures I've wanted out of the comic when it comes to character development and character arcs, Vriska and Tavros reconciling is probably one of the biggest. It always seemed like an obvious resolution to me (two characters don't understand each other and one is a bully. One day they learn to respect each other, the end) but Hussie's not considered a predictable writer and the twists and turns so far have given rise to complex and passionate discussions about what the real themes are and whether a certain perceived outcome is the right note to end on - discussions which can flip in a moment and with seemingly no warning. Credit to Hussie. Some writers can take what would seem like a natural conclusion and put it in doubt to create tension. Hussie will downright convince you that it isn't going to happen, and that it not happening is actually a better thematic end for an arc, then start considering the original conclusion anyway.

Well then! I was not expecting Hussie to take things in that direction, but I am happy that he did.  Hopefully Tavros and Vriska understand each other a bit better now. I would like to see Vriska apologize for some of the stuff she did and see Tavros come to understand why she did the things she did.

So what did that accomplish, plot-wise? - Taught Jane not to trust trolls / Gamzee - Got rid of Vriska and Tavros's bodies so that can't be prototyped so easily (but there's still the blood...) - Probably took Jane's kernel away, so she can't use it as a resurrection device. - Got Vriska and Tavros in the same place, so they can talk. SARSfest posted:Let's try the same thing again, but with Equius and Eridan. Actually, Eridan's lusty ways + Equius's strongness + Jake + Lil' Cal equals... ...and it would even make that 'magical horses' comment from Hussie make sense! (Oh, and we also just saw that merged being with rapidly conflicting thoughts can 'hate everything') Bobulus fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Apr 19, 2012 |

So as Bard of Rage, Gamzee both allowed rage to be destroyed and invited destruction, in this case of Jane's Kernelsprite, through that same rage. Hurray! I had actually come to terms with the fact that Tavros' and Vriska's stories were deliberately unfinished just for the subversion and tragedy of it all. This is more satisfying, I suppose.

I'm touched to see it has a bizarre life of its own on tumblr now.  Poor Jane just doesn't know what the gently caress. That's one heck of a way to start your Sburb experience, yikes. The other alpha kids have a lot to live up to when they enter - I can only imagine how wild their respective shenanigans will be. I hope we get to see Roxy interacting with Gamzee, if only to have the drunk and the stoner cross paths in a hilariously terrible way.

Dang, I was really hoping we would get a little more sprite horror out of that. Still, probably for the best I guess. Wonder if this means none of the new kids will get to have sprites at all? They already don't get consorts or (apparently) imps. Poor things .snucks posted:I wonder how long it took Hussie to decide to kill off Tavriskasprite.

I'd doubt much will come of it, they were merged for hardly a minute before explosively separating due to irreconcileable differences. They didn't even have shoes to walk a mile in.

Well this is good news. It's probably the metaphysically least unbelievably awful outcome. Also score another one for fantastic onomotapaeias...or however the gently caress you spell that. Gamzee you are either the best or the worst why must you make it so hard to decide.
