Wyld Karde posted:Right now he's too busy raging at Caliborn for deep introspection. With all the poo poo John's seen, if it does occur to him later I'd half expect him to just shrug it off anyway. It's probably not even in the top ten of Weird poo poo Revelations by now. Also, if you are a fictional character, you have no mind and are a recurring pattern in a series of shapes, making an existential crisis impossible.

Fuckin' clown. The ring's probably back o being Ring of Void for now. What are the odds he's been in cahots with )(IC? She's the one that sent the Miracles video after all, knowing the results. *cahoots

Also - in a universe where free will arguably does not exist and all your actions of any significance are predetermined, being told you're "just a character in a story" doesn't have the sting it might otherwise.

Not gonna lie: I was really confused when it zoomed in on the fridge and then I jumped when I showed Gamzee in there. Whatever he's up to....it can't be good.

Either Hussie somehow forgot his scars (which I have a hard time believing) or his is Prospit Dreamself Gamzee or Gamzee actually somehow went real god tier.

When it showed the close-up of the ring on Gamzee's hand, this immediately played in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW7Op86ox9g

So that's where the ring went. I suppose if Gamzee had it back when Caliborn was going all trigger-happy on him it'd explain why he's unkillable. Basically, gently caress that guy. Edit: This doesn't bode well for Terezi's clown hunting expedition.

Seemingly random question but did we ever find out what these barcodes were for? Other than opening the vault back in the very first intermission?

WhiffleballDude posted:I think you're forgetting an Intermission Intermission. That was when Caliborn was still playing his planet-exploding pool game wasn't it? I meant that it seems like John can't get to exactly wherever he is right now. You think he would've popped in there by now to slug him or something.

Story purpose, they helped clue us in that WV and Spades Slick were parts of the game before the whole Exile reveal. In-game purpose, no idea. You usually see barcodes on things like clones, so maybe they're there just because a lot of the chess pieces were genetically engineered in the Farthest Ring. Maybe they're there, as you mentioned, to open sburb stuff.

I've been only-just-barely following the comic for the last I don't know how many microacts now, because it's all getting a bit drawn out for me. And then, the Huss did something magical. He finally made me understand why some people love John so much. John is basically Finn The Human.

While reading this page and the handful preceding it I've noticed that the Mayor likes eating things that are green (the plant, the uranium, the green crayons). As such I've come to the conclusion that Lord English will be defeated and then eaten by the Mayor... or defeated by being eaten by the Mayor.

The pile of characters with narrative dibs on Lord English won't stop from getting taller. Grand Gigas posted:Oh hey the scars were added back in. Now this is just one level of horrifying instead of a few. I still had the updates cached when I read this, so I went back to refresh them and watch the scars get re-applied before my eyes, just like magic.

Bobulus posted:In-game purpose or story purpose? As far as we know, the genetic engineering bays in the furthest ring were only used to create actual Chess People who were horrific monsters for use on the battlefield, not the Carapacians. Why else would they need the prototyping rings? I put it down to hellish police-state like dersite government practises.

John gets the final blow, as he breaks whatever revives Lord English. Alternatively, John accidentally interrupts something from before Caliborn removed his own leg.

At first, I was all "Yay, Vriska!" Then. Then the what. She does seem like she's gonna be another SHOCKING TWIST bad guy with dialogue like that, though.
