MS Paint Adventures 7: At the Price of Oblivion

[RebelRogue]

It's a nod to Joseph Conrad first and foremost, I'd say.

[Ylorch]

I seem to recall Rose turning Grimdark because the horrorterrors corrupted her light powers flipping them to void powers temporarily and her grief manifested those powers. But I can't for the life of me remember if that was explained by Hussie in comic out of comic or if it was just fan speculation.

Found it. Calliope implies that aspects can manifest as their opposites if a hero resists their calling enough or are influenced by powerful entities.

Dirk is probably the most screwed out of anyone. Basically he needs to be found, or else Jade needs to be released, in the timeframe for which Dirk can survive in space.

(Why can everyone breathe in space?)

The Incipishere seems to have a breathable atmosphere throughout it's entirety, given Dream Roxy was able to float out to the furthest ring safely, and that the Troll Meteor seemed to display air resistance when it was speeding out to the green sun (Granted, that brings up a whole 'nother set of problems)

Man, those kismesis-dates are pretty damn hard hitting, aren't they?

[Jayngfet]

Jeez. I don't think we can assume any details but I think that we can all agree that it's a good thing Karkat didn't walk in about ten minutes earlier. If nothing else I think that Terezi has a problem with the color red at this point.

[The_Final_Stand]

She's always had an issue with the colour red. One time she started typing in red to imitate Dave, and immediately went off on a tangent about how decadent it was to type in red. Apparently it is the most delicious colour. Of all things there could be, an addiction to the colour red is hardly the worst thing in the world.

I wonder how subtle or not so subtle Rose and Kanaya are being.

By the by, the Condesce' silhouette on this page really reminds me of an horrorterror.

Terezi <3 Dave and Terezi <3 Karkat are either dead or pining for the fjords.

Rose <3 Kanaya looks like it's going strong.

Gamzee <> Karkat is dead, which is kind of scary.

...in fact, I kind of think that Dave <> Karkat is currently the most plausible relationship.

Also, I think it's pretty touchy that Karkat is worried that John and Jade won't think much of him or remember him or anything.

I feel sorry for Karkat.

This entire update is dripping with Dramatic Irony- See Dave and Karkat mocking Gamzee's religion.

Dave <> Karkat.

I bet Jade will like, pounce Karkat. Or something. Because she's not in her right mind.

[Ninja Dragon]

I'm going to love the look on Karkat's face when he finds out Gamzee's religion is real. And that he is not only worshipping his god, he is serving him.

Presumably they're part of the dead session.

On the plus side, at least Jade brought the ship back up to normal size before she got mind controlled, so John isn't stuck at the size of a pin right now.

[Ninja Dragon]

Those planets:

http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006012

So the goal of this session seems to be to go to each planet, and unlock each member of The Felt. Then become Lord English. The entire point of the Dead Session was to become LE, since the beginning. Skaia has predicted everything.

I wonder what will happen at planet 8. Wasn't Snowman given her powers in Alternia?

[The_Final_Stand]

I'm guessing, since he's on planet 3 now, which is red, that each planet is the colour of the resident felt. Not sure what to think about Snowman though. Would she be last, as befitting the 8 ball, or 8th, because hey, numbers.

We also don't know whether the Felt were one offs on Alternia, or whether all universe instances destined for Lord English to spawn in have a set of them. If it's the latter, is it always an exiled Black Queen, called into service by an instance of Doc Scratch?

Hey, that's almost a theory. I kinda like it.

[Draconi Redfir]

Darn. i was kinda hoping to never see those guys again.


At first i thought the felt might have been the players who created the troll universe, but then we learned about the squiddles. So that was disproven.

As for the eigth, i can forsee it either being permanently locked, or perhaps there is annother felt that just dies later on and is replaced by the black queen of the Troll's session.

I would think people would be wise enough to catch up on the comic before going to a forum to talk about it.

For any other comic, yes. But Homestuck lacks anything resembling a regular update schedule.
