Personally? I thought that Gamzee would have won. Like, I thought that it would be a three-way battle, but Gamzee would be such a powerhouse that Vriska and Eridan would try to work together to take him down, then retreat when Gamzee proved too much. Maybe he would have injured/killed one of them as they leave. So Kanaya arriving would be the best case scenario.

God I forgot I had that asked, it took me a bit to remember what your other ask was about.

And fuck, you are right. All of the kids are 13. They are all dumb and young and most of them were raised on the ideals of murder whomever you want. None of these kids deserve to suffer like this, and whoever made this game is awful and trash.

I hope we find out the origins of SBURB, so I can strangle its creator with my bare hands

Cute, I see what you did there Aradia.

But as a serious response, I actually never felt angry in my life before? Like my personal life. I mean, I felt frustrated or annoyed at times, but to be really mad at someone/something? I don’t think that has ever happened before, where I was truly angry.

But it is easy for me to get angry on behalf of someone, especially for a fictional character/story. So seeing these kids be so hurt and injured and suffering so so much, it just hurts me and I have to rage and lash out because none of these kids deserve this. None of them.

The only hope I have now is to for them to just travel back in time and revive everyone. That is seriously the only thing I have in hopes that these kids can be saved.

Um…is it bad if I don’t? Like, that didn’t even come to mind while reading it. This series is literally black and white with their characters that I didn’t even think of it before this question.

I guess if I have to say, I think Jade would be Costa Rican, since she lives in Costa Rica. Dave and Rose are Caucasian, and John is African American. But it is totally fine and valid if you think something different.

Oh I don’t think anyone is giving me any shit about anything (except for the clown fucking thing but that is a different thing) so you are all good. I think it is just that I had a way different reaction to Her Big Moment than anyone else who has read it so far. Like, I took it threatening whereas everyone else saw it positively, so they wanted my opinions as to why.

It’s all good I am chill with it.

^^^^ See! SEEEEE!!!! I’m not the only one! The bubble things are weird! Like, I get you want your own personal slice of heaven. But why is it your own memories that you can change, not create a random setting? Maybe I want to live my afterlife in a place I never been, not in Bro’s shitty room. And if the Dark Gods made them, they can easily pop them and let the souls drift. The bubbles are as much as a prison as it is a paradise, and I for one don’t trust them. I need to know more about how&why they are created before I can trust them.

I am glad that I was able to do that for you. Sometimes it is hard for me to find the right words to express what I mean, so I try my best to explain exactly what my feelings are.

Vriska is probably one of the most complex characters in homestuck. The more I learn about her, the more my feelings change for her. But I would like to believe that Vriska can change for the better by the end of homestuck. That she can still choose good, without hiding behind her persona.

Ed, first person to come to mind is Ed. He is just that weird and I still remember him saying “Write ALIENS Next.” He jives with Hussie’s weirdness and I respect that.

Johnny would probably, him and the Jang. Not for the plot or time travel or space theories (those would probably go over his head) but I can see them reading it for murder, actions, and the child swearing. If they watch R-Rated movies, I am sure that this kid can read swear words.

I wan’t to say Max would, like he would be opposed to reading it first, thinking it would be weird. But then he would try it just to see what it is like, and get casually absorbed into it.

I can see Starchman read it to. Because he is a weird man who would love everything that is english literature.

ok, looking back on the scene, that would be a momentous moment of her reafferming her ability to care and emote instead of just being passive about everything. She claimed something of hers that was once lost and is now deciding her own fate/choices instead of allowing those to decide for her.

I mean yes, that is amazing.

But please keep in mind that for the past 5-6 sessions I have been high on fear from a certain “most important character” killing everything and having everyone DIE. It was/is hard to see that moment without some sinister intent underlining it. Especially when I was thinking vampire clowns were going to strike!

So I wasn’t dissing on Aradia, I am just wary.

OK, so, to clarify…I was not expecting anything vaguely supernatural related in this series. I was under the impression that it was mostly a science fiction time romp. So when you throw in stuff like The Afterlife here, I get pretty suspicious and I don’t fully trust it. Because, ok if there is a nice afterlife for everyone on Earth like heaven that is one thing, but so far it looks like the only people with afterlife bubbles like this are the kids playing the game.

And I trust this game as far as I can throw it.

So unless I see Bro getting his own afterlife bubble, I am just going to wait until the other shoe to drop. Because there has to be a reason that the kids who were “defeated” are given some sort of consolation prize.

And fine! Jade wasn’t in a Cult, she was just probably talking to the other Dead SBURB children that played this game. It still doesn’t mean I don’t trust this set up.
