Oh shit son. First, look at Forge, how he is fucking drawn. That is amazing, how he is outside and inside Johnny.

Second, Forge regrets what he did to Johnny. Johnny would have never seen the ghosts, would now be trapped in the town, because of what Forge did. And Forge saw Johnny acting as a protector, as good, something that he respects.

And Forge is right, nothing will ever be the same.

so….all of this

Ollie can tell when Johnny is having a bad day/ less crazy than usual

Ollie assumes that Jeff’s words are making Johnny feel weird and is trying to reassure him that Jeff (Hijack) is full of it

And just look at that serious Johnny face in the last panel. Oh he is just thinking serious thought right now

in ,

Oh man, this was a hard one to figure out. Like, what to pick? There are just so many! I had to basically reread the entire comic for all of the Johnny parts to make my decisions. It was a struggle to narrow it down to 5, but narrow it down I did.

In chronological order: My Top 5 Johnny Moments

1) Johnny’s Philosophy

So this was after Johnny’s first fight with Max at school, and was genuinely impressed with  Max’s courage to fight (even if Max did lose) so it turns out that Johnny can be a pretty cool guy. He is actually talking to Max, asking where he got the skills, like just a casual friend.

But what I like this moment because it really establishes the idology of Johnny. It reminds me a lot like Luffy from One Piece. There is no need to get caught up in the details, Johnny just cuts to the chase and finds the simplest answer there is. Sure, tosome people it might seem harder to bust through walls than to walk the path, but to Johnny it is easier to make your own shortcut than get thrown off course.

2) Meeting with Isaac and Max

Like, there was no reason for him to do this. He just does it because he feels like fighting and he wanted to fight. But instead of fighting immediately, he first follows Ollie’s advice to talk first then fight. So he did talk and explained that he was still feeling an adrenaline rush from fighting some other kids, and after he talked, he got approval to keep on fighting.

3) Friendship Values

I still can’t get over this scene. Like, we have seen before how close Johnny is with his friend, but this was like the first time we see how deeply he respected them. Not for the first and not for the last, but he would never use his friends as anything less than what they are, and he would always be there for them too.

4)

First, he’s doing arts n’ crafts in the middle of class

Second, he’s doing serious discussion about conspiracies while doing arts n’ crafts

Third, this means they brought their own supplies to prepare for arts n’ crafts

This is just adorable

5) Dodgeball Warrior

So the entire Dodgeball game was just nuts to watch, but this was like my favorite part from it.

Isabel found a way to end the game without anyone getting hurt, but Johnny refuses to back down.

He knows that Hijack is gunning for him and his friends, but instead of being “out” of Hijack’s line of fire he stands his ground. Johnny is not backing down. If he did, then what was the point of everything that his team and friends went through if he just quit now. This is another moment that reminds me of Luffy, where Johnny just has the determination to keep fighting.

And now, some random Johnny faces that I like:

Part 166 End

No no, I am not touching this yet. I don’t know if it is the real Terezi, or a clown in disguise.

You know, I never really understand why people were afraid of clowns, but after reading this I now get why.

Karkat is running out of options, people. The biggest powerhouse on his side is Equius, as long as he stays on his side. I have a fear that Equius would let Gamzee manipulate him because of the highblood bullshit. Hopefully, he can just focus on beating the shit out of Eridan like the Hulk on Loki and won’t run into Gamzee. Hopefully.

And John can’t talk to Karkat because he is trapped into talking to Past!Karkat. Hopefully there will be a way for John to help. Hopefully.

But I have a good idea. If the Troll’s Meteor is around Earth, maybe Rose can do a Troll rescue mission instead of a Green Sun suicide mission? Pull them to a planet and work together? Would be better than just running around trying to nuke something out can’t even find. And they wouldn’t be trapped in a small place anymore.
