47 For Homestuck Asks

47 for homestuck asks

I honestly don't know what a patron troll is and at this point I'm too scared to ask

GG: that wasnt a senior interloper, im pretty sure youre talking about my grandpa!!! [....] GG: and if im interpreting correctly…. GG: youre saying you used bec to make me shoot him???

There are too many layers of indirection here for Jade to be anything close to responsible. She was a toddler playing with a pistol, it accidentally went off, and someone else redirected the bullet.

Not only did Jade not kill Grandpa, an argument could be made that she didn't actually shoot the gun.

AT: wHAT'S, AT: a GRANDPA,

Laugh all you want about Karkat's note-taking, but if Tavros had been similarly analytical in his approach, none of this would have happened.

AT: wELL, AT: nOW i FEEL VERY STUPID, AT: bUT, AT: i DON'T THINK i WILL GIVE INTO BAD SELF ESTEEM THIS TIME ABOUT THIS, AT: iT'S IMPORTANT TO STAY CONFIDENT ABOUT STUFF, DON'T YOU AGREE,

Well... sure, but it almost sounds like you're completely disregarding what just happened.

Beating yourself up over this would be unproductive - but you still made a huge mistake. You need to acknowledge that fact, learn from it, and make amends any way you can.

AT: aND i THINK THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BOND, aND BECOME CLOSER IN AN EMOTIONAL WAY,

Oh, god.

Tavros, just - just please just bow out of this conversation while you have the chance. Jade's being incredibly understanding about this, and you're really starting to push your luck.

AT: [...] i HAVE ROBOT LEGS, aND i FEEL GREAT, aND i CAN WALK, [...] AT: aND NOW, i FEEL EMBOLDENED TO DO BOLD THINGS THAT HEROES SHOULD DO, AT: lIKE, sAVE THE LIFE OF A PRETTY GIRL [...]

But why? You certainly weren't this bold before you were paralyzed.

It feels like Tavros is latching on to anything he thinks should give him self-esteem. It's obvious that he's never really understood confidence - but HEY, BEING ABLE TO WALK AGAIN FEELS PRETTY GOOD, AND CONFIDENCE IS WHEN YOU FEEL GOOD, RIGHT? }:D

He's elated by his ability to walk, and thus temporarily emboldened, but there's no introspection going on here. True self-esteem is when you look in the mirror and like what you see, but Tavros isn't looking in the mirror at all.

THE BOATMAN HATES HIM!

Learn how this Londoner leaves the slow boat early with this ONE SIMPLE TRICK!

That's a great expression. Initially, it looked to be one of disdain...

...but despite his attitude towards Rose, Eridan genuinely likes magic. I think he's just focusing really hard on channeling the wizardly powers he's been dreaming about since childhood.

The dude categorically sucks, but I'm willing to let him have this. It's his one non-shitty hobby, and any time he's spending casting spells is time he's not spending being troll racist.

TT: Will I be blinded by the fearsome lashes of light ribboning from the incandescent coastline of his beauteous aura? TT: Should I borrow my friend's sunglasses? GA: Yes Definitely GA: Definitely Do That GA: Wait I Hope That Wasnt Too Emphatic GA: Maybe At This Point I Should Clarify This Is All A Big Joke

And it was good! Kanaya may be confused by sarcasm, but her progress through the upper echelons of Dave-tier irony is impressive indeed.

TT: Yeah. TT: I was getting that. TT: You don't always have to tip your hand, Kanaya. You were doing well.

Granted, she has an excellent tutor.

GA: I Did In Fact "Train" This Character GA: I Made Him A Wand To Shut Him Up [...]

Well, at least it's not being enhanced by the Horrorterrors this time. Really, this wand is probably a downgrade from Eridan's endgame rifle.

TT: Do keep me apprised of all further developments. GA: Okay I Will TT: At least until my looming grimdarkdeath steals me away.

I can't tell how worried Rose actually is about the blackout. There's a touch of her brother's façade about her at the moment, which is probably how she's able to stay this calm - but that can't last forever.

Tavros is Jade's admirer?

Granted, he doesn't have many options. The trolls are a tangled web of drama, John is infamously straight, and the Derse kids would eat him alive.

GG: i remember you, you talked to me a lot in my dreams AT: yEAH, bUT NOW i'M TALKING TO YOU BEING AWAKE, AT: bECAUSE, AT: yOUR ROBOT CAN'T TYPE, [...] GG: thats because my dream self died [...] AT: aW, nO, i'M DEFINITELY PRETTY SORRY TO HEAR THAT, GG: thanks, but i think im ok GG: i felt pretty shaken up at first though AT: yES, i DID TOO, AT: i SPENT SO LONG SLEEPING AND DREAMING AND PLAYING ON PROSPIT, AT: tHAT BEING AWAKE WAS MADE TO FEEL WEIRD, aND i DIDN'T LIKE IT FOR A WHILE, GG: yeah i have done a lot of sleeping myself :)

I think Jade can relate more closely than she's admitting.

After all, there's a reason she spent so much time on Prospit before the game started. It was that or the empty mansion full of corpses.

I rewatched movie 7 and thought it was absolutely criminal I couldn't find a single gif of the metagross absolutely ROCKING it in the credits

hear me out.. .

THEY FUSED
