Seeing as I have lots of lovely new HS flisters..
...I can finally blog about the updates!!
I didn't want to on Tumblr cos 1: spoilers (I got spoiled soooooooo much on there and I don't want to do it to anyone else), and 2: I don't like text posting on Tumblr. No comments for nice discussions!!!
Anyway, here's my thoughts on the latest update.
Dave and Rose
So for those of you just joining us, I feel I should say I have a MASSIVE soft spot for any sibling story ever. This is cos I have a little sister who is insane and annoying and I love her like crazy. I also have a big sister and brother who are awesome and a niece so basically any kind of story involving sibling dynamic is like crack to me. I'm telling you, BtVS was nothing before Dawn.
...
Ok, that's a lie, and my flisters will know I love S3 the best. But without Dawnie it feels incomplete! Anyway.
So I just can't handle this part of the story. It's just so beautiful. I mean, Dave's whole hero complex ALONE is wonderfully angsty. The whole coolguy ego to cover up or deny his inferiority complex... When he was talking to Terezi about wanting to reach god tier just so he could be a hero like John was just... a;lskdfjasldfkj. Anyway, so that's why the whole suicide mission thing - he is DETERMINED to be a hero and prove himself, and imo this is also his way of grieving / trying to deal with Bro's death - by dying a hero he wants to somehow prove himself to his brother one last time, or probably prove he is just as good as Bro... There's such a wealth of delicious issues motivating Dave to act the way he does I can't stand it. :D Sorry, I could psychoanalyse Dave forever. This is just the tip of the iceberg with him and I love it.
(Although I DO NOT LOVE how he and Terezi haven't spoken in FOREVER. I get that she's recovering from the mindfuck that was the crazy!Gamz plotline and recuperating with Karkart [despite my otp, I love Karkat/Terezi]. But I hate that he's not even trying to contact her. Is he still mad at her about the whole god tier trick?! I mean come on dude, wake up and smell the ship. She is your future wife. Deal with it.)
Sorry, went a little off topic there. Anyway.
And Rose's part in this plot I can't even
Ok, so for new friends - I heavily identify with Rose. From the start when this purple texted girl graced my screen with her knitting, love of cats and obsession with psychoanalysis, I couldn't help but love her. Cos yeah, that's me right there. Anyway. All the way through the grimdark plot I just loved her more - I've been through some bad times and I had depression for years. So everything she did I understood. But this isn't the time to ramble about that. Now she's doing the whole sacrificing-herself-to-save-her-brother thing and I can't handle it. It's just too beautiful and too tragic and goddammit I read the entire thing thinking she was gonna die (Tumblr spoilers) then she was revived as her dream self and if she actually dies I just can't

So despite the agonising anticipation of how it's gonna end, I'm enjoying this plot thread.
Davesprite/Jadesprite
Is perfect. I can't imagine it better. Hussie is the master of ships.
John/Vriska
Ok, so unless you really haven't been paying attention, you'll know by now that after Dave/Terezi (though atm it's pushing for favourite), John/Vris is my OTP. And OH MY GOG THESE UPDATES. So, yeah, call me an idiot, but I only today realised that this John is the one Terezi killed (or orchestrated the death of, whatever). I worked it out in the car and nearly crashed thanks to me screaming NOOOOOOOO BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW VRISKA AT ALL THEY DIDN'T TALK OR DEVELOP THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND HE HASN'T HEARD HER CONFESSIONS OR BEEN THE ONLY ONE TO TRULY SEE HER AND ASDLKFASDLFKJ
Just a friendly hint - car? Not the best place to work out Homestuck. And especially not the best place to think about the ships. I have nearly crashed so many times and that's not even and exaggeration.
Anyway.
Where was I?
Oh yeah. So I only just worked that out and this update just KILLED ME. Vriska saying it didn't matter that he doesn't know what she did, her being all morose instead of the zany, manic mess she normally is... I just couldn't handle losing my ship. Then THEN I was like OMG UNITED IN THEIR HATE FOR TEREZI HOORAH! (Because that's the only way I can ship Jade/Dave - either doomed!Dave/dream!Jade or Davesprite/Jadesprite, as in both those pairings the version of Dave's death/entire timeline being doomed has been caused by Terezi).
And then the beauty of Terezi's actions actually leading them to meet and potentially be together forever and find solace in each other and a;sdlfkjasdlfj I couldn't handle it.
So yeah, that was fun. Although omg I was expecting this massive flash and I was all excited and I had to wait an hour cos I had to do something with sis and then it was just this wailingy stuff and I was like OMG HUSSIE YOU TROLL.
Anyway.
I think that's all my thoughts! That reminds me - I should really finish my ship manifesto. Or, seeing as I've done 1 character out of 16, not including the Ancestors which will be included, I think I should really START the ship manifesto.
Also post icons and fic.
