You know, it's weird. Of all of the main characters, John IS the most heroic and suitably mythic of the bunch.

He's got the weird unique power that lets him do poo poo that straight up defies canon, he's the most detached of them all, having spent next to no time with any single one of them, and they all know who he is and that he's, with a dead erased Terezie's help, responsible for changing their lives for the better.

I guess that's why John's the protagonist out of all of these doofs. He is the alpha doof.

I genuinely thought he was looking at her first, then the rest of the group next. I am super bad at visualizing images like this.

I like this a lot, I really like the idea that under all the passive-aggressive ironic poo poo they did to each other, the Moms cared for their respective Lalondes.

I'm pretty sure Rose's Mom was never passive agressive, it was all in Rose's head. All the stuff she thought she liked and did just to gently caress with her turned out to be genuine interests of Roxy's.

I think he's just gobsmacked more than anything. Isn't this legitimately the first time he and John have met face to face in this timeline? It's probably quite a bit of "holy poo poo my best friend that I've never met is legit here right now"


Also yay John is back :allears: Finally this comic will be good again.

Yup. The very first line in Roxy's introduction page, right after her name, was "holy poo poo do you love wizards"

And it was heartbreaking

I guess he did say the art was going to be a little rough.

The mouths have always looked weird in this art style, I think the lines are too thick or something.

EDIT: She even kinda looks like a cartoon fish in profile:





Though that might just be because of the lack of a nose.

Facing the group, Vriska and Terezi are on John's left, the others on his right. John looks to the right.

he also doesn't even directly acknowledge Vriska, but he does for Dave and Karkat

The art does look a touch rough, even the scrawled group-shot in that deliberately blobby actually MSPainted style look even blobbier than usual.

Cute reunion, this. It's probably pretty powerful for John and Roxy considering all their friends were horribly massacred last time through the timeline. Jake might also be happy to see Roxy again since she'd just been murdered, if he can find the wherewithal to say anything.

The Roxy Jake knew his entire life is dead and now a doppelganger from another dimension has come to take her place. It's probably going to take some time for Jake to get used to this situation.

Doesn't this happen in like a million Star Trek episodes, and the cast always end up shrugging and going "Ha ha, you're allllllllright, alternate dimensional guy who's similar but not the same to our friend who just died!"

I know it happened to Harry Kim and Miles O'Brien.

You're assuming Jake would understand any of this. It's probably "hey there's Roxy again!"

Ehh, both Roxies shared the same timeline for 99% of their life. It's only after the Beta Kids arrived that the timelines diverged.

Like, would it take you that long to adjust if your best friend was replaced by another that was identical in every way except for she didn't stop at Starbucks yesterday morning?

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. I kind of want him to be wary of Vriska, in light of what her alternate self has done. But he didn't seem to have mixed feelings about saving her life, and after he punched her he said he was looking forward to meeting her alive. And that was five minutes ago, so his feelings can't have changed much.

It crashed newgrounds, yes. On the reinforced server it has for just such occasions.

Then Hussie uploaded it to Megaupload. Which promptly went down as well.

Then Tumblr went down from the absolute shitfit which followed.

Cascade broke half the internet.
