Homestuck Re-read Part 51: Trickster Mode.
74ish pages for today's upd8.
I'm, so tired. I'm struggling to stay awake for some unknown reason. I am kinda sad and I don't know why. I am hoping this is a quick update so I can go onto finishing converting my website to the new server or playing minecraft or something. I don't know.
Homestuck
[S] ACT 6 ACT 5 ACT 2
We are taken to an alternate version of the homestuck webpage where the ==> prompt is replaced with the weird spiral lollypop and we as trickster Jane bash some horror terrors into squiddles and cherubs into, puppets? Jane then starts flying towards Jake's land so she can have a quick chat with him. She confesses she loves him in a new flashy text colour and asks to kiss and get married and have babies together. She feels Peachy. We are tasked with 'deploying the crocker' just for her to kick him in the balls and send him flying off a cliff. Somehow this results in tricker Jake.
The pair fly off to Derse to hunt down an invisible Roxy who immediately starts trying to hide and even tries asking the condense for help.
Unfortunately, They are somehow able to find her. Another person falls to trickster mode. Jane's father looks down with disappointment. Roxy also immediately decides to go back to being an alcoholic. They go to grab Fefetasprite and Erisolsprite tries to apologize for Eridan's actions on the meteor towards Fef and Nepeta's unfortunate involvement. Then it's off to candy Dirk. He is especially resistant to candy/alcohol/magic cherub insanity based solutions to 'personal problems' even to the point of threatening to stab Roxy. ARQUIUSPRITE then gives him some kind words that he's too fucking mental for happiness normally so why not try cherub madness.
The following flash lets us slowly edge him out of frame. Arquiusprite explains
ARQUIUSPRITE: Arrow Hahaha! Dude, this is heavily ridiculous
ARQUIUSPRITE: Arrow Your brain is so impenetrable, not even this asshole candy magic can lighten you up
ARQUIUSPRITE: Arrow I'm so mother fussing amused by this
Roxy also decides to feel up Arquiusprite's muscles. So does Jane. And Jake.
ARQUIUSPRITE: Arrow Dirk, it seems my muscles are a hit
ARQUIUSPRITE: Arrow Are you absolutely sure you won't feast your hands on this Grade A Beef?
Dirk then breaks up with Jake. Arquiusprite starts having a bit of a moment because he's realized the implication of Fefetasprite is that he failed to save Nepeta because he was too busy getting off to Gamzee strangling him. There is a large amount of back and forth between him and Erisolsprite, causing Fefetasprite to detonate from confusion.
The tricksters alchemetize some bullshit and then we, start hearing some insane bullshit about cherub kingdoms? Oh no the bullshit they alchemetize is based on the cherub kingdom? And Dirk's sword. and a bunch of 'Zilly Santas'.
GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK
Hussie tries to get us back on track by going back to the end of act 6 act 5 act 1 to try and skip straight to A6A5A3 and memory hole A6A5A2, but it looks like Caliborn ain't having it. He like, really ain't having it.
Hussie then starts to explain the process of becoming an adult to Caliborn. By using super mario and the star power-up as way of an example that just confuses things further. The alpha kids need to solve their emotional and relationship problems on their own to learn how to do it and to grow into people who don't have those kinds of problems in the future, cherub candy that makes them all get married is not a suitable replacement for learning how to handle a breakup. Remember how before I wrote things about how Homestuck is about growing up and I didnt just do shitty play by plays because I started feeling worthless and like shit again.
Caliborn and Gamzee break the glass over some panels and prepare to insert their comedy/tragedy themed keys into a two-man system of locks. This upd8 ends with two screens coming to life and display the alpha kid's aspects.
