Honestly, after Vrista/BetaJohn, Davesprite/Jade, Terezi/Dave, and Terezi/Gamzee, I thought all the romantic moments were going to happen offstage and every moment we get to watch would be nothing but heartbreak and disappointment. Which made this all the more a pleasant surprise.

With the stairs there, Rose is almost doing the same pose as Jake kissing Dirk's head.

Grate falls down, slices Kanaya's head clean off, mid-kiss. Rose is traumatized for life.



Seriously though, that was great. More than the absolutely :3: kiss scene, I'm just kinda proud of Rose right now. She's evolved from the shitawful place she was in during Act 5 with her shutting out her friends and getting manipulated by Doc Scratch and going all :black101: broodfester throes :black101:

She's gotten pretty good at this human emotion called friendship. :unsmith:

Rose really does take after Dirk, doesn't she? More than she does Roxy, and even, I'd say, more than Dave does Dirk. The digressions into philosophy, the reserved demeanor, the monumental literary exploits, the audacious solo plans involving dying, the flashstep, and now, the provocation of very dramatic kisses.
Flipways, we've seen that Roxy's valleygirl personality is an ironic facade, to the point where it prevents her from conveying competence and expressing genuine emotion.

That's one thing I'm not sure I ever understood. Was she never dead in the first place? Can she ever die? In her introduction I think it's hinted that chainsaws were used to hunt Rainbow Drinkers in her stories, so would the only way she could die be by her own weapon? Gah, stupid made-up vampire rules ruin everything.

Also, you guys have astounding abilities to remember kissing scenes. drat.

Mid level and above on the Hemospectrum and you're one absurdly tough troll. Karkat (technically lime green?) got stabbed a bunch of times. Vriska got an arm and half her face blown off, and she just sorta sat around her hive for a while sending Terezi instant messages. Plus, Kanaya spent a few months playing Sgrub, raising her stats, as one of the players who actually did her role and helped fight monsters regularly.

She's a tough lady.

You mean aside from the stated (though never observed) ravening undead that stalked the days and dunes surrounding her home. It's just not clear if Kanaya is actually undead, or just in an altered biological state but still living.

Remind me--was there any evidence Feferi played a significant role in the troll session? She might have been a much lower level than Kanaya, who Karkat said was the only person who reliably played her role in operation Regisurp.

I think the only ones it SPECIFICALLY mentions are Gamzee and Vriska in the fight against the Black King, and... I want to say Terezi? Doing a thing to exile the Black Queen. And then of course Kanaya and Aradia had frog breeding and time duties respectively.

I think the deal is that Trolls can just generally take a lot of damage and lose a lot of blood and still live, unless you punch a giant hole through their torso and spine like some kind of Mortal Kombat move.

Mystic Mongol posted:

From the convo Kanaya had with her, it seems that while Kanaya did the Jade thing, Feferi she was the Derse or Rose equivalent in hearing prophecies from the Elder Gods, which seems fairly useful. She also was the only one close enough to bring Sollux back to life when he died helping her into the session.

She also was the one who convinced the Dlder Gods to create the dream bubbles, apparently. And, having a sprite that was an Elder God probably helped in fighting off the very enemies that particular prototyping helped to bring into existence. Plus, most of the trolls apparently downright slaughtered their denizens before they could get a word in edgewise.

Also, according to Aradia everyone was pretty drat tricked out level/move/gear-wise by the end of the game.

She also got shot through the heart rather than through the abdomen like Kanaya. That said, it says "DEAD." right here. The "DEAD." text never lies. :colbert:

(I guess if she'd been murdered more thoroughly she probably would have had a harder time coming back, though.)
