Today I’m reading.

06/25/10- "Be the other girl.” (/homestuck/2096) to 06/29/10 - "======>” (/homestuck/2120)"

Select this thingy to read my commentary

Last time we saw apocalypseArisen [AA] floating over to Sollux’s Lusus. Given the effects of the curse that Karkat had unleashed we could assume something bad was going to happen. The audience asks to “be the other girl” hoping to learn more about AA.

We start off with grimAuxiliatrix [GA]. She is riding on the head of her lusus, a giant flying bug with horns. She appears to be flying around Jade's tower, but most of it is submerged in the ground. The frog ruins are nearby, intact but very weathered and rusty. The audience isn't pleased with this and asked to stop being the “other girl”.

We now see adiosToreador [AT] in his room. He is bound to a wheelchair. His lusus is a tiny bull that flies around him. His name is Tavros Nitram. He likes fairy tales and fairies in general. Many of the posters in his room are just fairies with troll features. He wants to capture and train the various wildlife of Alternia to fight battles for him. These are apparently in the form of card games. He also enjoys “Hardcore roleplay” which leads to his accident. He’s also into slam poetry, though given how badly he gets destroyed by Dave we can assume he’s not very good at this.

He plays a card game called Fiduspawn with his lusus. He throws a ball which hatches into a weird spider alien face hugger. It attacks a “host plush” teddy bear causing another weird alien horse thing to burst from its chest. This new thing eats the spider thing that created it. Tavros then uses his mind control to take over the creator and do battle with his lusus. Though apparently that means he commands it to take a nap with it. I guess he doesn't like violence. He decides to also take a nap which is a struggle given his disability, and giant horns. Later he equips his jousting lance in his strife specibus. He practices with this weapon in hopes of becoming a Cavalreaper. But he suspects he will be culled for being disabled…

That's kinda f#%ked up. The trollian empire is brutal but that’s straight up bad eugenics.

On Travos’s wall is a poster for Pupa Pan. He wants a man to come with some Special Stardust so that he can fly and enjoy adventures. Though he mentions this desire to fly had been around long prior to his accident.

We are shown a future where Travos has Robotic legs built for him by a friend who likes robots. He seems to be in the same place the troll had been when chatting with the kids. He mentions GA was kind enough to remove his old legs with her chainsaw. We see his blood is brown. We also see that the troll with the mark of Sagittarius watches from the shadows. Travos mentioned this was the friend who was into robotics, he likes to silently watch and it's creepy. We’ll meet them later I am sure.


Till tomorrow, help your friends with their home amputation needs. And keep riding the pumpkin tide.
