Today I’m reading.

03/20/10- "==>” (/homestuck/1594) to 03/22/10 - "John: Hop in.” (/homestuck/1607)"

Select this thingy to read my commentary

Last time we 2 trolls connected with Dave and Rose. The trolls grimAuxiliatrix [GA] and adiosToreador [AT] are trying to gain knowledge. They want of weak points for their targets. GA came to Dave, he provided terrible advice to GA which she caught on too. But she used his bad advice to perform a decent troll on Rose. AT got equally bad advice from Rose. We’re about to see how that works out.

Predictably it’s the cringiest thing I’ve read since my own live journal. AT attempts to lay down a whole page of rhymes to damage Dave’s pride. It's a long page of senselessness. Gibberish. Dave would have utterly destroyed it but opted to simply not ignore AT. Dave just mindlessly doodles SBAHJ stuff with AT's chat window burried behind it. AT takes Dave’s non-response as a victory for himself. We see AT a male troll, as he is a Taurus his horns are huge. Otherwise I'd describe him as looking like a knob.

Sadly I am a Tarus myself, and even as self hating as I am this character is terrible.

When we last left John he had taken the advice of a troll gallowsCalibrator [GC]. on this advice he hopped in a large pipe in LOWAS to get delivered closer to his destination. We now see John being flung out of a pipe, covered in oil and his inventory scattered all over. This includes the box bunny. Reunited with the bunny and surviving the horrors in the pipe he reenacts the Con-Air scene. The one where Cages's character is returning the bunny to his daughter. In John's case a random consort and its mother. I am sure they were both confused and horrified. An oily alien creature just came up to them with some soft oily thing and started embracing a child.

2 trolls immediately have things to say about this bizarre action. John explains to carcinoGeneticist [CG] that he was re-enacting a movie. CG likes movies, and they actually nerd bond over it.

John mentions he’s receiving help from GC. It seems CG doesn't like that. This is against whatever CGs plan is. It seems the trolls even troll each other and that causes issues for them. John also mentions he hasn't talked to Jade on their behalf yet. But it seems in the time of confusion CG's shocked to hear his future self wanted John to do that. He believes it's a bad sign.

More confusing is the GC is in the same room as CG. But they are not on the same point in the timeline. GC is slightly behind the conversation John had with CG. John attempts to relay some message between them. But he inevitably ends up making them turn on each other.

GC’s guidance has actually led John to his planet's Denizen Palace. John needs to slay this huge beast to get a massive amount of grist. Also something called “ultimate alchemy”. This normally doesn't happen until gate 7, but CG is assuming it won't be awake yet and John can sneak up on it. He’d be way too weak at this point to win a fair fight. IT seems they are trying to exploit and speed run the game. It also seems super risky.

Since the area isn't accessible John locates a Return node and gets sent back to his bedroom. GC mentions she will get him to the gate shortly.

The trolls have mentioned that the human kids really mess up their entire session in the future. It’s looking like they may actually be the cause of this.


Till tomorrow, don't go hugging random amphibian children. That’s weird. also keep riding the pumpkin tide.

Notice: in true Homestuck fashion I am putting this project on hiatus. Just for a few weeks though, not for years. I'll need some time to focus on family, and career stuff. I'll still being doing all my mod stuff so please behave
