AC is Nepeta's chumhandle initials.

Also Hussie better loving bring back Doc Scratch if they're going as far as to enter his rundown apartment.

Because making dead Nepeta jokes is so funny, we need to have one billion of them. One for every Nepeta in Paradox Space.

It's not. Somebody is just construing 'AC must be broken' as a reference to Nepeta getting clubbed to death, or something, and I guess finds that funny.

I was pretty ambivalent about the Felt, but it is nice to see the goofy bunch whom we haven't really seen much of in years gain some more relevance as of late.

Indecisive posted:

I'm guessing that people he kills with the gun just regular die, instead of get wiped from existance when he uses his mouth-beam. Maybe for whatever reason he didn't want to kill Hussie for good, or at least wanted him to continue to exist to feel the pain of his death? And now that that is done the last person he cares enough to wish pain on is dead, the rest will just get lasered.

Going through all the effort to charge up and expel rainbow laser halitosis is probably a bit of a waste to use just on one dude, when he already has a perfectly good gun/staff right in his hand. When you have hundreds of people gathered in one place, that's when you break out the city-clearing beamspray.

It's weird to me because it was spelled out pretty clearly that WV is silent towards the rest of the meteor crew, but yet Ms. Paint and the Midnight Crew all seem to be able to talk. Huh.

Chess guys communicate via telepathy. Only explanation. WV was able to impart John's name to PM, after all.

I was wondering that myself. Honestly, I was actually hovering my mouse over the images, half expecting additional text to pop up as comments like it did with the banners in the Doc Scratch section.

And yeah, that panel size thing is strangely disconcerting.

Hey- Hussie actually called the post-Scratch version of the Handmaid "Damara". Up until now he's always kept it ambiguous whether any individual has the same name or a different one pre/post-Scratch.

It's okay, he's just running a little slow as per usual.

Also I think the panel sizes here are just to mimic the banners from the Doc Scratch intermission.

Yep. They're visiting Doc Scratch's turf, so the panels are sized Doc Scratch's way.

Reminds me of that cinematic effect that's basically like looking down a telescope the wrong way. My brain's telling me Kubrick used it for joining scenes sometimes, but I haven't seen any of his films in forever so who knows.

Midnight Raider: Apr 26, 2010

That's a callback I honestly didn't see coming. And to think the wolf was my favorite gag during the Hussie portion, too.

Anyway, these updates also make it pretty easy to see that Crowbar being dead during the intermission probably contributed pretty heavily to the Felt being unable to get their act together and really defend their home turf at the time. He's also serving here as a bit of a Droog analog for Slick, which is something he's probably been in need of for a while, a set of brains to better guide his stabbing arm.

I miss the rest of the Midnight Crew, though, maybe they'll find a way back as well. Nothing seems impossible now that all these green torsos rose again.

I'm pretty sure they weren't literal about the silent thing, and more of a meta joke about carapaces only speaking in narration as opposed to any dialoglogs. The meteor crew has made meta jokes about their communication before, such as the gift of gab thing when Karkat wanted to do the Terezi intervention.

They're gonna reach the room where Doc "died" and LE was "born", where they will find...

nothing. Which is why you never turn your back on the body. Also Diamonds Droog will simply return from the supermarket without much explanation. It's just that there were too many prices and values.

I still don't think Handmaid had a name. Personal opinion, but Handmaid was a slave and the best way to dehumanize her (well as much as a troll can be dehumanized) would be to not even give her an identity. It's just easier from a narrative point to call her Damara because we know that they're counterparts between The Scratch. Much like how Vriska calls Aranea Mindfang, even though Aranea is obviously not really Mindfang but just her pre-Scratch counterpart.

But I think I like it here.

I think it's interesting that the troll universe got absorbed by the Green Sun when it got destroyed. Is the Green Sun essentially the "universe graveyard"? Does it gain strength with each universe absorbed? Who knows!

But yeah these updates own. I would totally read a Hussie MC/Felt adventure. He'll I'd read a Hussie anything at this point.

Well, the Green Sun was created by the destruction of both the troll and the human universe.

Also it must be pretty cold, as far as suns go, if bits of buildings can survive inside and people may wander around finding the heat merely uncomfortable. (Instead of, y'know, being turned into plasma in a tiny fraction of a second.)

No, it's just the AH: Don't Think About It, It's Not Important rule.

Q: Why don't the players get cancer from the radioactive imps? I'm asking for someone too wussy to ask himself for fear of you snarkily dodging the question. Please prove him right.

AH: Radiation is harmless. Kind of like lava. Why doesn't Dave melt when he's hopping around on gears? The answer is because these dangerous things are actually harmless in cartoon stories. They are also green and red respectively, just in time for the holidays. I THINK OF EVERYTHING

Okay, I'm kind of unhappy right now. I got my snoutpak in the mail (super!) but didn't receive my poster, plus there were no troll sticker sheets in the box like are listed and pictured in the tier. How am I supposed to complete fridgestuck with no trolls? I sent an email to WP, so I'm hoping I hear back soon. Figures- I wait four extra months for something, and when I get it it's not even all there. :argh:

e: plus I really wanted Pyralspite. Oh well. :sigh:

Also apparently I'm missing my OTP patches. Even more reasons to be mad.

Senator, you smell of deceit. And disappointment. Or maybe the second one is just me.
