I knew to expect something big when I saw a bunch of new pages and a flash. I can't say I expected this  Triskelli posted:Goddammit, I don't remember what it was called now, but someone in the thread linked a half-decent metafic that was a GameFAQs for Sburb, and it said that "Trickster Mode" was a virus in the game that infected players and should be avoided at all costs. To see actually happen though... Judging by Gamzee's reaction, I think you might be onto the something. If this is true, doesn't that also mean HIC would end up with a trickster lollipop because Calliope never actually gifted her the code directly?

This was for everyone who said that Jane was boring. LOOK WHAT YOU"VE DONE.Feranon posted:Maybe Lord English is just Caliborn in trickster mode. Either way, Trickster Lord English should be Señor Español, with a Dia de los Muertos sugar skull for a head (if any fan artists reading this feel so inspired...)

The last time Gamzee looked this baffled was when he was kicked in the shame globes by a vampire.

Is it at all possible Calliope/Caliborn had no idea what their jujus did when combined? My mind is still struggling to process the update. I don't see how this can be as insanely powerful as it has been built up to be. We have yet to see Trickster Mode in action, but it seems a bit odd.

I saw it coming the moment the spiral lollipop was made and it was more horrifying than anything I could I could ever imagine. This update is amazing. I'm in awe.

I'll never ask for Jane to keep making amazing faces ever again. It's been taken too far. It's gone horrifyingly wrong.

As frightening as that flash was, I must say Hussie's animation skills are getting quite good. Unless he simply copied the dance from something else.

Hopefully this really is just a prank and not the first step into this session spinning straight to hell on a sugar high.

It looks like he rotoscoped something, but I can't quite place it. At first I thought it was the Silver Spoons dance party gifs, but that doesn't actually seem to be it.

So, uh, you know how Treestuck is either really good or really bad at predicting Homestuck? http://treestuck.tumblr.com/post/38520708450 She thought it would be a cool idea if trickster mode was this weird undocumented feature of Sburb that are like evil shadows. And she said this two weeks ago.

Caliborn definitely gave his Juju to Jake; he just didn't open it. And Jake definitely passed it on to Jane, albeit without the correct code. I am one hundred percent confident that those are the real jujus. And if my calculations are correct, they're going to be making lots more of those things, or else they will never be able to create the Warhammer of Zillyhoo. This is some strange new alternative to god tiers, I bet. The term "trickster" is highly loaded in mythology; gods like Loki, Coyote, Anansi, as well as mortal figures like Brer Rabbit and Nasreddin Hodja, succeed and fail by their cleverness and deceit. They can be heroic or malicious, and in fact are frequently both, but one thing they never are is straightforward. Make no mistake: this is incredibly serious business.
