Which is what makes yanking it so totally strange: it was anodyne to the max. The only possible explanation is that Gaiman had to take it down for legal reasons, no? Unless it somehow offended a close friend.

Actually, given the virulent hate Jasprosespritesprite seems to have for both Gamzee and Eridan, I don't know if Gamzee is in play right now.

Also I don't think JRS^2 is going to join with Tavros, even as a hypothetical JRNS^3. Rose's now-open contempt for him is going to keep them away.

Any time some one tries to defend Tavros, I, in theory, want to join in with them.

Then I remember how Tavros actually is and holy poo poo he's awful.


Also Nepetasprite is about to have something HORRIBLE happen to her.

Nephatasprite. Anything. Give Tavros some grass from this beautiful grassy planet and make him Grasvosprite. Just spare them.

Maybe Tavros will sneeze on Nepeta and she'll become Spitpeta and that's it.

Oh god the people celebrating Aromantic Jake. You stupid stupid bastards.

Yes, it's super great that Jake thinks he's so awful that he shouldn't spend any time with anyone and shouldn't be romantically involved with people because he's toxic. What an absolute loving win and totally a sincere moment of self-actualization and not just low self-esteem bullshit and an obviously harmful mindset.

On the other hand, Tavros was completely on the mark about his absolute lack of quality. Nice!

Tavros is bad, but pretty much in an adolescent, cureable way. Much the same is true of Jake, and their "I've screwed up! I'm such a loser, I should just go hide from everyone forever" feelings are pretty standard fare for melodramatic teens who think their first failed relationship (or, uh, death and resurrection?) indicate they're doomed to eternal awfulness. And if it helps, the Tavros who followed Vriska to the treasure seemed to grow at least a little out of his douchy suck-up phase when he realized being around Vriska is actually toxic and he could just gently caress off at any time, as good a character sendoff as Tavros could hope for.

Anyway, who cares about any of that poo poo because it's immediately overshadowed by the much more important deal that Nepeta is back. Hell yes, let's get some irrelevant character shenanigans out of that. Maybe she has some issues she can introduce and work out over the course of several conversations while we wait for fights to happen? She's verbalizing again, that's a good start.

I'll be honest I didn't read a word after Jasperosesprite^2 asked where the kernel is because I just started rushing through the updates to see if she was really going to bring back Nepeta.

There's no way Nepeta and Tavros will make it through the next few updates without having something like this happening. (Unless Hussie just doesn't focus on this scene for a while I guess)

Mind you, I'd like them to stick around, actually! So I'd love to be wrong.

Yeah. That was quite a display of "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I am unworthy of any kind of friendship let alone romance, I guess I'll just attack the enemy with fists and die." Totally to be taken as an accurate representation of reality.

Has anything happened to Jake's guns? The "flexing our guns" obvs applies to biceps, not to weapons, unless he's got special bendy weapons.

I think the beta kids and the trolls have probably loosely bought into it too, since they don't really know Jake and met him at his lowest point, and Vriska and Tavrosprite helped set the tone (Vriska by calling him a loser and Tavros by being a loser attaching himself to a fellow loser). Once someone with some investment in him gets a chance to weigh in, like Jade or Dirk (if Dirk can be made to talk to his ex), things might turn around.

Maybe he'll do something useful when confronted by Spades Slick and the gang, and that'll be somewhat redemptive in the group's eyes?

Also I assume Tavpetasprite would explode like Tavriskasprite due to Tavros's imagined cat allergies. Soooo maybe that'll be a way to get rid of them?

I think it's also a way for him to run away from his relationships and commitments to people. He pretty much said that he left very quickly without talking to anyone. Which is also very unhealthy. Jake has serious problems communicating with people and prefers to avoid facing tough situations. Running away to an island won't make him happy. At best it'll be the kind of fakey happiness Tavros has.

What? No. Just that she helped set the tone for the people who didn't really know him yet. Her sniffing him out as a loser partly because he pinged Tavros's fellow-loser-dar and nobody stepping up to challenge her over it is probably the sort of thing that'd give Karkat, Kanaya, Rose, Terezi, Dave and Jasperosesprite^2 the impression that "I guess this Jape guy must be a loser".

Edit - it was in response to Jasperosesprite^2 buying into the "Jake is useless" thing, which probably isn't something specific to her but rather how most of the characters who don't know him are going based on their first impression.

i think its less that jasperose has "bought into" anything and its more that rose can be kind of nasty. like when jade told her that her mom was dead and rose said she wouldnt expect tact from someone raised by a dog.

honestly outside of terezi, i dont think most of the people on the lilypad are the kind of people who would treat someone like a chump just because they kind of come off like one.

Rosesprite unwillingly prototyped Jaspersprite for her second slot. Tavrosprite and Nepetasprite can each be prototyped further.

Technically one could prototype the other, but...if they both have a slot open.....what.....what happens.

I'm inclined toward the "black hole" theory reignonyourparade suggested. Each sprite would try to prototype the other, although what with all the strangeness of their session maybe the cataclysm would be averted since there's no Skaia hooked up to their sprites using them for prototyping or some such thing? I don't think anything they've put into sprites in the Alpha session has affected Prospit or Derse.

I believe that would result in a black hole. Caliborn's became a black hole, and I think it was because it was Caliborn's and Calliope's coming out at the same time and prototyping each other. That's just me though. If that does happen, that's quite bad. The spritesprite black hole grows very quickly, becoming large enough to absorb a planet within mintues and only continuing to grow from there. Maybe Roxy could do something about it, but that sounds like a problem only Jade could solve.
