Part 158 End

Well I will see Jade talk to Karkat later. Apparently he is her patron troll, not Tavros, so that’s nice. Hopefully he will be more helpful now than ever, since, I guess, he is going to bond with her over hating themselves.

So most of this was Hussie’s recap. That was long and a trial to read. But I did it, god that was draining.

Then we have Jade vs. Jade. Damn was all of that sad. First, Jadesprite does have a right to be sad over how she was killed, and having the powers of the universe. But damn just how different those two turned out. Jade still hopeful and fighting while Jadesprite is just sad and negative and wants to die again.

The fact that Jadesprite no longer gives a shit about the clouds and the queen’s prophecy is raising red flags to me. It could be that because she was Dream-Jade, she only really has memories of Prospit and of those Dreams, so since that is the only life she knew of, she would think that John is permanently dead and that she would be too (which, I mean, she is).

But I am still not ruling out the Cult thing just yet. Her really wanting to go back to her “friends”, like who are they? I thought that those were the squid thing from before, but that is the dream Jade had in the bubble, not Dream-Jade. So I am thinking that the “friends” convinced Jade that Prospit were lies and all that, and Jade, having recently died, believed them. I have the feeling that it could be the Durse Dark Gods, but that is just like from a vague unease I get from them. Like how Dave hated them, but also how Rose said something too about how “Prospit lies.” ….not entirely sure, but whoever these friends are, are no good.

Really just show Jadesprite that John isn’t dead and you are good to go.

But can I just say, that Jadesprite sees that there is no hope left for this world/her world right after John “died.” And Dave and Rose were in a bad offshoot when John died too.

Yeah, it is like John is the physical embodiment of hope for these kids, huh?
