the blood on Jack's hand is Jade's

he kills her and she ends up merging with her sprite and going god tier

his affection for her was the only thing leashing him in the kids' game, so having overcome that he becomes even more bloodthirsty, explaining his behavior in the troll session

Maybe he manages to kill their frog.

Seriously

hey wait a minute why doesn't Jade just feed Jack a Hershey's bar

Taya

Jade doesn't have a Hersey's bar, don't be silly.

Seriously

oh god

I just realized


John tricks Jack into eating a snickers bar

by eating half himself

during Seer: Descend, you can read prospitian lore that suggests that their god frog is destined to mature in another universe

so I think their frog will be safe

Sterica

Prospitians are dumb, Speed. Their lore can't be trusted.

I can't wait for Drunkstuck to get to act 5 part 2 so I can re-stitch together my memories of what the fuck is currently going on. I know about 85%, but that last 15% is bugging me.
And Drunkstuck is some seriously good summary dude keep it up

CG: I'VE TRIED TO TELL HER THAT HER SPRITE SELF IS PROBABLY NOWHERE NEAR AS DESPICABLE AS SHE'S MAKING OUT WITH HERSELF TO BE.
CG: I MEAN
CG: MAKING HERSELF OUT TO BE.
CG: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
EB: ...
CG: LOOK, I'M JUST SAYING
CG: WE'VE ALL GOT FLAWS, EVEN HER
CG: AND FOR ALL THE SHIT SHE'S GIVEN ME ON THIS VERY SUBJECT, SHE KEEPS HERSELF DANGLING FROM A VERY HIGH HOOK.
CG: SHE'D BE DOING ME A MAJOR PERSONAL SOLID BY MAKING AT LEAST SOME ATTEMPT TO GET HERSELF OFF.
CG: WAIT
CG: FUCK
CG: WHAT DID I JUST SAY
EB: wow.
CG: I MEANT LET HERSELF OFF.
CG: THE HOOK. THE FUCKING HOOK, IT'S A FIGURE OF GODDAMN SPEECH.
EB: /raises eyebrows
CG: PUT THOSE THE BACK DOWN, BEFORE MY HOT ACID RAGEBREATH BURNS THEM OFF YOUR IDIOTIC FACE.
EB: ok, i am putting them back down as not suggestively as possible.
CG: WHAT WERE WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT, IT WASN'T THIS, WHATEVER THIS IS.
EB: what is what this is?
CG: IT'S NOTHING, YOU SHIT. IT HAS BEEN THE CONVERSATIONAL EQUIVALENT OF US WHISTLING THROUGH OUR SNORT BARRELS WHILE TOUCHING EACH OTHER INAPPROPRIATELY.
EB: was...
EB: was that another weird erotic slip of the tongue?
CG: NO, THAT WAS ME BEING WORKED UP INTO THIS RIDICULOUS FUCKING CONNIPTION AND SAYING SOMETHING INFLAMMATORY, GOD. HOW DOES THAT NOT BE CLEAR BY NOW???

oh god that conversation

really any john/karkat conversation

Larlar

I wonder if Hussie will feel at all out of practice from writing dialogue at this point, two months later.

No I'm pretty sure the absense of the usual treasure at the core of prospit will ensure that they cannot complete that task.

I don't know, the Karkat conversations were pretty dumb at first.

It was after John gained a better understanding of Karkat's end of things that he started to have more fun with the guy.

Also yeah, any time when Karkat lets anything slip is just hilarious.

Jade's going to put the genetic sequence together and then they're going to use the grist horde in the post-scratch session to do the ultimate alchemy

my guess is that the post-scratch session is going to appear unwinnable at first due to a complete lack of frogs

even earlier conversations had stuff like john making fun of karkat for thinking friendship is an emotion, and then telling karkat that friendship is an emotion in the very next conversation.

Here I went back to Seer: Descend and got the exact quote:

"Though we adore Him we shall never enjoy His beauteous Croak. We spill our blood on acres of black and white so they may cross the yellow yard. At last in Skaia's reflection through broken glass He may find the pond in which He is meant to squat."

broken glass = 4th wall, Skaia's reflection = post-Scratch Skaia

Day of the Bear

john karkat conversations are way way up there on the scale of good pesterlogs

I also liked the banners that represented each kid's element with a short passage

everyone had some line of famous poetry except for dave, who had Snoop Dog

Also Jade's banner was untouched, while Dave's was bisected. That was a pretty neat touch.

Is the Troll's Bilious Slick still sitting there in the Troll's session?
If it is, why hasn't Jack stabbed it yet.

we haven't seen exactly how the vast croak thing works

but I think it's safe to assume he's not there

we've seen several wide shots of their session with no sign of him

Taya

Isn't Jack about to destroy the trolls' Bilious Slick right at the end of the countdown?

Sterica

It's pretty damn big, so you can't just stab it. But Jack intends on destroying it.

Day of the Bear

speed how dare you not remember every single thing

well it's not like the shot of bilious slick was meaningful to anything other than "oh hey it's bilious slick"

I remembered "I GAVE YOUR UNIVERSE CANCER"

SPEED RACER MORE LIKE BUG BOY

Speed Racer

oh wait that said "how dare you"

I thought it said "how do you"

BugBoy

oh, would you look at that

speed racer is having trouble remembering things

Er, seeing as how Jack intends to destroy Slick...yeah, it was a meaningful thing.

it's a meaningful plot development but nothing as actually happened in that plot thread yet

it's something that will be meaningful soon
