Holy poo poo, Cronuz really IS the creepiest loving person in the universe. In all of the universes.

Meulin kinda owns, though, she's hilarious.

Okay, played the flash, observations:
-gently caress Cronus
-gently caress Cronus
-Kurloz :catstare:
-Practically no way Calliope isn't in the sarcophagus Kurloz finds in the area with Gamzee (Aranea did speculate that she is in the afterlife somewhere, which mean she is in the afterlife somewhere)
-Mituna :(

As for speculation, I don't think LE is going to destroy this dream bubble, at least not so soon. I firmly believe that this is where Calliope is. I think that when Meenah assembles/finishes failing to assemble a posse, it will be Kurloz that they'll face off against. I also think he has a more malevolent presence in the dream bubbles than is made obvious, and that Mituna and Meulin have maintained their disabilities in the afterlife due to his influence.

Whether Gamzee is compliantly following along with LE's plan isn't certain; he did lose his faith in his religion after watching Miracles. It would be oddly fitting if, the same event that created Lil' Cal and so Lord English also served to prevent him from victory (not to mention it was the Condesce that provided Dave with the video in the first place, and she doesn't really like serving Lord English, plus she has freedom of action in the B universes since LE isn't in them).

-Mituna :smith:
-Meulin is just so :3:
-Kurloz holy poo poo oh god
-gently caress Cronus.
-Meenah is still awesome.
-Oh screw you Hussie with that Problem Sleuth tease
-The whole thing with Karkat and Terezi was adorable. (And Karkat and Meenah as well)
-Talk to Terezi as Meenah one last time before you leave the room.
-gently caress Cronus.

Urgh, gently caress Cronus so hard. I actually felt nauseous when Mituna started telling him to remove his hands :(

Fortis posted:

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but were Mituna's dialogue boxes supposed to look like 4chan/imageboard posts? The blue color combined with his yellow along with the checkbox in the upper left sure made it seem that way.

I only noticed that when he started using reaction faces. He was also referred to as "helmchan" by Cronus, so definitely an imageboard parody.

It was on her non-Homestuck blog, which she seems to be taking pains to keep separate, so I think everyone has gone out of their way not to link.

The juxtaposition of Cronus' awful personality with his incredibly adorable sprite is kind of interesting. I would have thought it was on purpose, but all of Xamag's stuff is done in a cutesy style, so.

And poor Karkat :(. That whole scene with Terezi was just heartwrenching. At least he seems to be able to talk to her without making a huge rear end of himself now that he's apparently given up on having a relationship with her.

Totally forgot about that, thanks!

Actually, rereading that part now, there's this piece of dialog:

quote:

JOHN: do you remember what it was like being jade sprite?
JADE: i remember being dead for a long time
JADE: and making friends...
JADE: mostly trolls
JOHN: oh really?
JOHN: which ones?
JADE: none that we know of now
JADE: that i can remember at least
JADE: they feel like such distant memories, like they were barely real
So Jade has met the pre-scratch trolls before?

However, Hussie's saving Zahhak for last, where he will single handedly validate all ships, kill Lord English and manage to fire a bow.

Nah, I think he's going to be okay. Basically all the useless jerks were useful jerks beforehand. Sollux was useful, Eridan drove the story forward significantly, Karkat is obviously of pretty great importance, Gamzee is The Most Important Character In Homestuck.

Meanwhile, Nepeta was useless and her ancestor is not a jerk at all. Same with Feferi. I'm guessing Not!Rufio and Sky Captain Zahhak are going to be cool.

Captain Zahhak is going to be a suave, outgoing gentleman, beloved by all due to his friendly and non-creepy nature. He will also be remarkably gentle, and would never hurt a fly.

Excuse me, I think you mean CONSTRUCTS. His sprites suggest some kind of fantasy steampunk thing going on.

But yeah I can't think of some gimmick for Zahhak, aside from being the opposite of Equius.
