TG: none of that really meant anything but ok TG: also you have me confused for somebody else we never talked […] TC: as if i'd forget to do my chucklevoodoos to you too. TC: TO FUCK UP YOUR DREAMS. TC: make your worst fears come alive and get up on their haunts in your naphappy pan. TG: what TG: what fears TC: YOU MOTHER FUCKING KNOW, BROTHER. TC: its the fuckin puppet.

Seriously? You made Dream Cal, too?

...wait! Wait, son of a bitch!

That means you created Doc Scratch!

The architect of Alternia's demise was born directly from Gamzee's rage - twice over, actually, since we already knew he made the HONK code. Scratch's trolling, his malevolence, his disturbing personality... it all makes perfect sense now. Cal may be his father, but Gamzee is his grandfather.

I can finally see it, now. Gamzee really is the most important character in Homestuck - and his Aspect is now the most menacing thing in the entire comic. It caused everything.

TG: did my bro put you up to this […] TC: YOUR BRO'S DEAD BRO. TC: couldn't keep my new friend captive no more. TC: RELEASED YOUR NIGHTMARES RIGHT INTO MY WARM FUCKING EMBRACE. TC: and now i listen at what they whisper through my hear ducts.

Gamzee’s been listening to Cal’s voice - but now that we know the truth behind Cal's origin, it's clear that Gamzee is just being fed his own rage, amplified and reflected. No wonder he's so fucked up.

This might also be why Bro was so... like that. He was exposed to Cal for his entire life, and this awful miasma was probably seeping into his brain the entire time. Dave's lucky he's even alive.

TC: I'M ALL HEARING THESE AMAZING MOTHERFUCKIN THINGS. TC: i think he'll help me refigure out what's the real reality about the miracles. TC: HE'LL HELP ME TO MOTHER FUCKIN DISCOVER THE TRUTH OF WHO THE MESSIAHS ARE. TC: the real messiahs, not the false mess a lies, hahahahaha.

Cal is inspiring Gamzee to seek greater heights – and lest we forget, Gamzee is a bard. He’s inspiring himself, consuming a rage-warped reflection of his own worldview, and it’s clear he’s been reborn as some sort of zealot, determined to seek the truth at the heart of the universe – and potentially, at the heart of the comic.

This is going to be really, really bad. I'm not sure if there’s any of the original Gamzee in there anymore.

TC: hey, before you go TC: HOW ABOUT THAT WE TC: slam a little. ;oD TG: uh They both then proceeded to have one of the best rap-offs in the history of paradox space.
