...on the plus side I'm feeling much more angry now than I expected so this totally helps me get in character.
Well, that's one way to make a character more sympathetic to me...

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I have a feeling this is where Gamzee starts living up to the whole "most important character in Homestuck" thing.

Yeah, one way of the other, there's no way Gams is out of the picture permanently. Can't say I wasn't pleasantly surprised, though.

I wonder how Gamzee even got there. Time travel is involved, sure, but he'd still have to physically move to the location. Which means that the meteor's stopping point may in fact be the planet that later comes to be inhabited by the Cherubs. But then he'd have had to go into their session with them.. How is he getting back out?

Unless this is where Gamzee dies and it's the end of the road for him, even though earlier in the timeline we'll still see him around and doing things. v:v:v

I wouldn't mind if this were the end of him. Though the end of a necessarily extremely circuitous and convoluted path, most of which we have yet to see.

Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

1. Cut away before Gamzee can regenerate because he totally went god tier and then
2. Thousands of pages later we find out that no, he didn't go god tier, he died in a really stupid loving way.

Out of all the lovely twists and plot bombs in 3 years+ of crazy story, this is the first time I dropped my jaw and just stared at an update. Gatdamn.

This is the only known Gamzee death, right? Please let this be a fakeout. Please resurrect, mysterious conniving clown :ohdear:

It would be amazing if it was, and I'd be pretty happy... I suppose it could count as a justified death.

We'll just have to see, as always.

If you look closely as he's getting shot, the wings have a grey strap on them. So they're fake.

How do you know that's a strap for holding them on? I mean, it would make sense because he had to assemble his outfit, but his wings don't appear to be actually falling off, which they should be if their straps are disconnected.

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.

Also, holy poo poo, even though I know the guy won't die, it sure is satisfying to see Gamzee get what's coming to him. FINALLY.

This might be a double fakeout, and Gamzee was wearing fake wings despite being actually godtier. Cue flash later on of him raising up, and his real wings popping out.

Or maybe another way to go Godtier is to assemble the outfit or something.

Well, the last time we saw him, Gamzee had some time boxes, so either this is the end of his personal timeline as an alive person, or he's god tier. No way this counts as Just, and I don't think Gamzee has a Heroic bone in his body.

As for how he got there, it's simple. He had a time machine. How the hell were they gonna slow the meteor down once it arrived in the new session? Answer: they weren't. As it arrives, they bail, and it keeps going until it crashes on cherubland or wherever. Gamzee disembarks with them, travels back in time to tamper with Jane's kernelsprite plus miscellaneous other mischief, then returns to the moment that he got off the meteor, gets back on the meteor, and rides it to... glory.

It's the only way that almost makes sense.

And by "called it", you mean "whoops he just got his poo poo all murdered like the chump he is".

So, do we know what's the deal with Gamzee's dream-self? Has it been seen before or died yet? Because also: Dying is a hell of a way to sober up quick.

I guess a clown that gets murdered is still technically a murder clown, in that sense. We'll see if it sticks. (Though perhaps it'll be a while before we do, if the next page to go up doesn't involve John Wayne Gacy's ghostly visage seeing him off.) It seems his outfit was indeed fake, but, well, that needn't mean everything.

He was killed along with the rest of the trolls' dreamselves, excepting Vriska and Sollux' Derse dreamself.

We didn't actually see that happen, though, which is what enabled the god tier question to even be a question.

My personal running entertaining theory is that Gamzee comes back, and it infuriates the hell out of Caliborn, leading him to destroy paradox space in an effort to kill him.

Which is why he's the most important.
