Fun Fact, the kiss scene twelve pages later was a cliffhanger we were left on for like, two weeks.

That seems miniscule these days but back then the update pace was nothing short of breakneck (like, multiple pages a day) and we were then suddenly left to ruminate on THAT for what felt like an eternity.

That was a weird time.

I wonder why Aradia was still in love with him after ripping out her heart.

Either way it looks like I won't find out for some time since it's focusing on other characters now. Right now Karkat is talking to Vriska after getting stabbed by Jack (and we find out he has red blood, which I'm guessing either means he's really low caste or really high caste, though I kind of doubt the former since he doesn't strike me as the type of guy to hide it out of shame).

edit: This new character that replaces H's with )( is probably the only typing style I've had genuine trouble reading so far.

T'was exemplary of exquisite, delectable depravity.

But seriously, re-living all this stuff again is great, it's been a while since I last re-read the comic in any capacity. I still kinda get chills from the big reveal at the end of Hivebent.

The chess guys are all normal humanly red-blooded. Karkat's the weirdo only in the context of trolls, in that his color literally doesn't exist on their hemospectrum.

There was that time in [S]Make Her Pay that that power was useful, but only because Vriska was using it through him.

Actually Ytlaya is pretty close to that part so maybe I shouldn't bother spoiling that because that's probably the next time they're going to drop in?

Kind of weird and not really important question: How does this memo work? If the trolls can see what they/others say in the future, how do they participate in the conversation? Like, if the text is already there how do you write it yourself? Is it because all their future text is hidden or something?

edit Oh nm, Kanaya just explained it some:

CGA: Yeah I Know
CGA: I Wasnt Sure If I Was Going To
CGA: But Then I Noticed A Conversation In Which I Was A Participant
CGA: Which As It Turns Out Is The Conversation Taking Place Now
CGA: I Scanned It Briefly And Then Perused Other Memos For My Presence
CGA: I Found None And Returned To This One
CGA: But My Part Of The Conversation Was Gone
CGA: I Regarded This As A Prompt To Begin Typing And Record My Contributions Live

The way it is explained, as you'll discover later, is that closer to the time of the message's creation, it has already disappeared so that it can be created.

The Trolls can read any message so long as they are not about to make it, the problem is that they often don't especially of the message has nothing to do with them directly.

This leads to a lot of self fulfilling paradoxes because Paradox Space is a bitch.

In theory one could get caught in a loop of arguing with themselves though only a total dunkass would.
