[...] there would be one corruption to her figure she could not abide. Her vanity wouldn't allow it.

We always knew Aradia’s was a tactical prototyping, and now we know her goal.

The Queen absolutely refuses to look like one of the most hated creatures on Derse - and she’s not an Underling, so she can reject this change. It just means she has to reject all the others, too, leaving her vulnerable to Exile. 

Those of its kind go by many names, and so does the reviled patron god they herald - THE GREAT DETESTATION, KING PONDSQUATTER, SPEAKER OF THE VAST JOKE, or most commonly, BILIOUS SLICK.

Holy shit, there really is a frog god! I was starting to wonder if I was completely barking up the wrong tree with that theory. It seems all the frogs we’ve been seeing are his heralds, a sign of something big.

I’d still put pretty good odds on my theory that the Frog God - Bilious Slick - is the secret final boss of Sburb, a post-Reckoning challenge that appears on Skaia. I can’t glean much from his Dersite ‘titles’ - most are just frog-themed insults - but one of them is, rather ominously, the Speaker of the Vast Joke. Seems like we’re not done with clowns and harlequins just yet.  

Something else that’s notable - upon his Exile, Jack took the name ‘Spades Slick’, which is presumably an intentional reference. Did he do it to reject Derse, or just to piss Snowman off? (It’s the second one.)

She removed the ring and concealed it in the ROYAL VAULT while she was quite sure no one was looking. [...]

Or so she thought.

Don't underestimate the Deuce.

The BANISHED QUASIROYAL would make the future Alternian wasteland her home.

Until she was given a new purpose.

Doc Scratch, who wants the universe destroyed, has an interest in Snowman, who can destroy the universe.
