Part 185: A Summary
So last night I was tired, so I get to do my sum up right here. Over what the fuck just happened.
Well…I was right with Karkat making Cancer. But I thought that was just referring to himself, that he was the cancer/outlier. The idea that the holy universe frog having cancer is bizarre and hilarious if it also wasn’t fucking tragic. Because ever since Karkat got into this awful space lab, he has been blaming himself more and more over what happened. Trying to find like the one thing he fucked up that fucked everything up. And it hurts reading that because he did everything right, and how fucked up is it to think that all of those deaths and tragedies were actually necessary for the timeline.
Jade and Vamp!Kanaya trying to keep Karkat distracted in helping with the frog hunt was kind, but it hurts. Because I do remember Karkat telling Kanaya that he was talking to both Jade and her future self before shit went down.
Moving onto the frog hunts, did Jade get the ultimate frog yet? Because it is weird that it was just chillin’ on Earth until it got zapped and died! I mean, I hope she got the last of the frog puzzle.
Jade should not be so chill having Jack follow her around like this. I mean, yes treat him like a dog because he would probably hate that, but it is just WAY too dangerous to have him by you. I mean, I get he can’t kill you, but he can still do something!! I don’t Like it.
And Jade has to transport the equivalent of 4 planet populations into the next Earth….that is going to be tricky.
The Arm-Dildo keeps popping up everywhere. I have no idea what it wants or if it is just waving at people or what. Because I am sure that thing has appeared since Act 2. Like the Ink-Oil Splots, it just keeps coming back.
Aradia is just chilling by the Sun to implode it, and now Sollux is a zombie? I mean, one eye is black and the other is white, and they were both black when he first became blind. So I am thinking that he is half dead and half alive. Binary powers, activate. At least we know that Rose and Dave will be alright and arrive with Aradia. But now Rose can’t give John her message because Dave is going to save her. Maybe she can text him later.
Then there is Gamzee. I honestly thought that the Gamzee-Tavros talk was in a dream bubble, but it could also be a flashback. God, I can’t believe that we actually got to see their worst rap. I know that back then I was glad to skip it, but now I am glad to read it.
But I don’t know how to feel about Gamzee/Tavros together….I do not see it at all.
And it got creepy with sober!Gamzee kissing Tavros’s head and wanting Dave’s head for a bloody pb&j. Yikes.
Love Life aside, Gamzee used the powers of nightmares (I didn’t know he had those powers) to fucking create Cal. And Cal is telling Gamzee to murder. And I don’t know if Cal was always sentient and evil, or if Gamzee is off his rocker and is just hearing voices now, but that puppet was born out of nightmares and revenge and thus I would not be surprised if the Shadow thing behind Gamzee was Cal moving around. I hated the puppets since Act1, and now I am validated for it.
And is it also suspicious that the video sent to Gamzee for the future to freak him out in the first place was given to Dave by a Betty Crocker logo that knows Dave’s name?
Because now I think that the thing locked in Scratch’s room is Betty Crocker, the evil Lusus of this planet/time scale.
And he was going to whack her with a broom. -_-
