D’aww. Our two Aspect sisters, face-to-face at last.

I imagine these two will become fast friends - and, oddly enough, I think the same could be true of Rose and Vriska. I think they'd either really like each other, or really hate each other.

AA: kanaya tell us what happened next! GA: There Isnt Much To Say GA: I Repaired The Doll And Made Him A Nice Outfit GA: With A Far More Becoming Palette And Fit Than The Absurd Tatters He Was Found In

Cal's the most dangerous Felt member of all, naturally. He outranks English himself!

This could easily be foreshadowing, honestly. Cal's definitely plot relevant, and he totally could be connected to the...

...

.... the felt?

The Felt? The god damn Felt?

The living puppet might be connected to the FELT?

Fuck me running. This is foreshadowing, isn't it?

Cal is actually connected to the Felt. He's a tool they use, or a manifestation of one of their powers, or something. Of course he's a literal puppet of Doc Scratch's grand plan. Of fucking course.

:(

It makes sense that Tavros would enter the Bubbles through this scene, since he was killed in essentially the same way. Poor guy got mugged on Memory Lane.

GA: I Quickly Began To Find The Doll Unnerving So I Put Him Away

Kanaya, you are the smartest motherfucker in this comic.

AA: this is only a piece of the story AA: the other pieces will fall into place with successive memories and it will all become clear AA: […] i will eliminate some suspense and try to serve as a better guide on this tour through the catacombs of our collective subconscious AA: the separate tunnels we once traveled in the dark as individuals we now retrace together with a torch

I really like how Aradia's wasting absolutely no time. Her first act as a living girl is to gather everyone she can in the Bubbles, and her second act is to start absolutely vomiting information, clearly determined to share everything her ghost held back.

No more allusions, riddles, or dancing around the truth. It’s time to pool our knowledge, and figure. Shit. Out.

AT: i REMEMBER GETTING JUMPED OFF THE CLIFF BY MY LEGS, AT: bUT NOT THE THING i'M DOING NOW, […] AA: our manipulator disguised his tracks well

Scratch – because, come on, why pretend there's any ambiguity - somehow forced Tavros to use his psionics unconsciously. Who knows how he pulled that one off, but that's not what's important.

What's important is the million-Boondollar question.

Namely: what is the most dangerous Alternian animal Doc Scratch could possibly control?

By who, though? Doc Scratch? Grubmom? The Alternian government, even?

And was Kanaya turned into a vampire, or was she born with the potential to become one? Metamorphosis seems to imply the former, but it's still very unclear.

AA: much like i was for my various personal iterations including this one GA: You Mean GA: Being A Ghost And Then A Frog And Then A Robot And Then A Fairy AA: yes!

Aradia likens this transformation to her own adventures as a ghost, robot and fairy, but all of those changes have mechanisms that we understand, whereas Kanaya's is a mystery. If it's anything like Aradia's ghost form, maybe necromancy was involved?

And, again - who's the culprit? If this was something that was imposed on Kanaya externally, rather than an inherent trait, then Scratch feels like the most likely meddler. If so, her vampirism was designed to benefit him - but what could his angle be?

What effect has Kanaya's vampirism even had, so far? What has she caused to happen, that wouldn't otherwise have happened?

All she's really done is bisect Eridan... whilst sparing the Veil's real problem, Gamzee. Well, he is the Most Important Character In Homestuck, so Scratch can probably make use of him.

But... I really don't like that line of thinking. It implies that Kanaya spared Gamzee at Scratch's bequest, knowingly or unknowingly, and the thought of Kanaya serving Scratch is too terrible to contemplate. Let's put it aside for now.

TA: 0k s0 i'm supp0sed t0 act 0ut what i did bef0re, when i br0ught her these shitty d0ll parts, is that's what's g0ing 0n here? GA: Yeah Im Still Not Sure Aradia Are We Supposed To Be Role Playing

And you didn’t even wait for Nepeta.

Actually, that's a good point - where is Nepeta? Is she sitting in some other bubble, berating Equius over how he died?

TA: thith ith kinb 0f thtupib. AA: youre stupid and you sound stupid! TA: h0py thith, i b0 th0unb thtupib. TA: why the fuckth ith by b0uth fthull 0f all thethe theeth subbenly?

Ah, hang on - Nepeta's not actually dead yet.

Sollux's tooth issues are congruent with page 3429, immediately before Equius is commanded to Seek The Highb100d. Plus, Kanaya's still down, and she was up and about by Seek. The Meowrails yet live - and Eridan's still alive, too, but I doubt his ghost would show his sorry face regardless.

Aradia claims her Time aspect allows her to navigate the Ring. I thought you needed an understanding of Time and Space to map it - but hey, maybe that's why Jade's been called here.

I'd rather her show up to the Bubbles than our other Space Player, too. The waking world needs Kanaya right now.

AA: i knew that the first bubble i would enter would be an important one for us to visit TA: what's s0 imp0rtant ab0ut it? AA: hang on AA: we are moving on to a new memory hold that thought

Damn it, I think Hussie heard me.

Wait - actually, this is interesting. If I'm interpreting the timeline correctly, Kanaya might be sleeping during her vampiric transformation. I'd very much like to shed some light on that event.

AA: it is important because it will help us begin to understand why we are all here […] AA: not why we are in this bubble now AA: but why we all exist in the first place and why we all went on this adventure together

My loredrop senses are tingling - and if my instincts are correct, it's going to be a doozy.

AA: ok lets allow the next memory to take shape AA: i believe it is kanayas AA: i will reprise my role in a conversation i had with her shortly after i discovered the ruins AA: everybody hide and try not to spoil it for her until she remembers!

Ahahaha, Sollux! Sollux, god damn it, you're right fucking there! Kanaya can see you!!

I guess he was recently blinded. He probably doesn't know where Kanaya even is.

GA: This Is A Dream Isnt It

Zellige 138 - Rombo 1/16

Thats my tomboy.

Highschool bffs kame, tapos same course rin kame pagdating ng college. Sabay kameng nagka-bf, pero too bad hers ended early and while I got busier with my bf, naging close sya sa isa naming kablock na girl.

The hardest thing about us drifting apart was her new friend slapping on my face na mas bffs na sila kesa sa amin. For the first time in our friendship umiyak ako, I embraced the change kahit na sinubukan kong ayusin.
