Many of these sprites are too small to tell whether they're dead or dreaming, and there appear to be errors. For instance, near the end, a bunch of seemingly alive Eridans show up.

The Eridans with wwizard hats are the only mistakes I see.

Also, in the giant group shot: 5 trolls down from Vriska, Terezi dressed as Dave. 6 trolls down from Vriska, Equius in a maid outfit. All the way on the left and 3 trolls from the bottom, Feferi in a hat. Everything else is normal, she just found a fedora at some point.

remember, you are talking to the pranking MASTER.
I think Feferi's hat is supposed to be her cowboy hat from all the way back during her and Eridan's introduction, since Eridan is wearing the wizard hat from the same scene.

I guess that means live Eridan did some serious dream bubble exploring while sleeping on the meteor?

Calliope's art is all done by Shelby (deudlyfirearms on tumblr) and after she posted her original drawings on tumblr, someone thought she stole them and gave herself credit.

I'm glad it didn't happen. Because I want this ghost party to continue annoying all the ghost Karkats forever.

Lots of people are predicting that LE comes in and vaporizes them, but I'm pretty sure Vriska and Meenah are going to fight to a standstill (the "should luck conspire" line is pretty telling because Vriska) and decide to both take half for their armies. I suspect they'll trade halves so the generally-useless ancestor trolls are used as bait while the relatively-more-competent trolls we know and love go off to fight LE, but they could just as easily stick with what they've got.

And THEN LE comes in and vaporizes them.

All these alternate outfits are going to make the fandom explode with new artwork, I just know it. (Some of them, like Mituna's striped shirt, look better than his default goofy flightsuit anyway.) There are a ton of outfit variants we've seen like Nepeta/Equius swapping headgear, Sollux with Feferi's glasses, etc.

Also, a lot of people totally called Godtier Porrim/Kanaya having Mother Grub-style wings.

I would have asked for a good vibrating group shot avatar like that just so I could write something witty about being at PEAK TROLLTALK underneath, but I don't have the :10bux: for playing around with avatars and titles at the moment.

What really stung was being unable to afford the Gamebro shirt kickstarter tier.

Nepeta and Meulin going 3333333333333333 at each other.
Terezi going "MOR3! MOR3 1 S4Y!" as the quantity of ghosts becomes absurd.
Equius wanting Aradia to rate his depravity 100 on a scale from 1 to 100.

I got the impression that their "clusterfuck plan" which merges the three plans together is LE shows up, the ghosts attack LE and try to kill him, LE blows them up and causes the cracks, and they follow the cracks to find out the treasure is Calliope's ghost/points to Calliope's ghost.

I also like the amusing notion that Calliope's simply been writing a bunch of fan fiction of what she thinks would be cool (like Meenah and Vriska meeting up then throwing down) and by some causal effect of being a Muse of Space she indirectly made it happen. Hell if Lord English shows up to blow them to smithereens it might just be because Caliborn read his sister's fan fiction and thus knew they'd be there for him to blow up.

Well, if he worked on signatures 6 hours a day for the next 7 days, he would only need to sign, on average, one signature every 14 seconds.

So if he signed a bunch, took a break, signed a bunch, took a break, he could probably get it done in a week.

I don't think Caliborn was really READING the book so much as vandalizing it vindictively to spite Calliope.

He's capable of forward thinking but he tends to tunnel vision on things he thinks are important, and I seriously doubt he'd give anything belonging to Calliope any serious thought.

What's all this then?
Being able to see some of Calliope's self-insert fanfiction warmed my heart, strangely enough. Her fantroll is so delightfully self-indulgent. And Caliborn's manic defacing of the manual is promising, because it perhaps means he won't recognize what's going on until it's too late for him.

Okay, so at first I thought the Calliope fanfic thing was just a clever way to segue back to John, but now that people are talking about it, it's got me thinking.

Calliope's class/aspect is Muse of Space. So what if this is actually one of her powers? Maybe her penchant for self-inserting herself into the story is actually capable of passively affecting events.

So... She might be already here?

She was there attempting to break up the fight in her fanfic, then all of a sudden she was trying to wake up John.

If LE were to come along and pop this bubble but assuming not everyone present gets destroyed, who might you expect to survive? Living Aradia and Gamzee and half-living Sollux, sure. After that? Maybe Vriska, Meenah, Aranea, Tavros...

There's quite a few 'alpha timeline' ghosts here (that is, the ghosts of the instances of those characters we followed in the story proper). If it popped we'd be losing Nepeta, Equius (I think?), Feferi and Eridan at least.

Bongo Bill
Jan 17, 2012

All of Tavros' Gollum jokes, as well as the void rings' power of invisibility, invite comparisons to Lord of the Rings. In that story, Sauron put a portion of his own soul, and the larger part of his power, into the One Ring. It was practically a part of him, two halves of the same being, so that when it was destroyed, he basically died. This has a certain parallel to cherubs' dual identities, of course, but to conclude that's exactly what's happened here is to ignore a key piece of the puzzle: his cane, which bears a strong resemblance to the scepters, which are the counterpart to rings.
