    Pretty sure that panel is intended to show that she has Tavros' and Vriska's psychic abilities.

    yeah I am guessing the idea here is that she possesses the potential for all of trollkind's psychic abilities

    including the Wiionic's!


    too bad for her it took her like a million years to figure it out

    betting it's going to turn out that Karkat with his crazy mutant blood is her polar opposite

    i.e. also secretly possessing all of trollkind's psychic powers or completely immune to them or something

    I hope that karkat has no special powers beyond just being karkat

    So...Tavros and Vriska are controlling the Overlard, or vice versa?

    Trying to withhold judgment, but it seems stupid either way.

    i thought that was her trying to use psychic powers (vriska's thing) and commune with animals (tavros's thing) like in the pesterlog
    Given Vriska's declaration of intent to meddle, I'm guessing that it's not just the Condence emulating powers. Maybe it's Vriska trying to extend control through the Condence to other creatures, hence the experiments. While it seems improbable that ghost Vriska would be powerful enough to control the Condence, it could be that she's come to some sort of agreement with her where the Condence allows Tavros and Vriska to use her as a conduit for their powers in exchange for them using the powers for her benefit.

    I increasingly grow less fond of Dirk

    the whole "dude who knows everything but is also totally cool" shtick is starting to wear thin

    I've always regarded the Strider Brothers as a satire of coolness since both are suposed to be so cool, but they are both really huge nerds. John saw through Dave's 'cool' act with his quip about rapping with a puppet being in no way cool. The coolness is ironic. So in the pre-scratch universe, Bro is the epitome of cool, but in the post-scratch world Bro is actually a lonely, creepy, techno-geek who talks too much and is nowhere near as good at lighting sick fires as Dave.

    While Dirk isn't anywhere near as funny as Dave, He's both heroic and clever, and his role as a know-it-all doesn't bother me because he has a legitimate reason to be; he's had the chance to witness far more than those he is enlightening, and he's sober enough to pay attention.

    Besides, imagine how much more overly long Homestuck would be if Hussie used flashbacks to show all of those things that Jade, Aranea, UU, Dirk, and the other "exposition cannons" explained.

    the interpretation I got was that since the condesce is the highest blood, she has the potential to use the abilities of all the lower-blood castes

    i thought the higher bloods had much weaker/no powers compared to the lower bloods

    The Condesce could extend life with her touch, that doesn't seem like a weak power to me.

    The fact that Tavros and Vriska were prototyped in the last couple of pages seems like too much of a coincidence.

    The Condesce was doing all kinds of experiments and it seems she started doing stuff with the carapaces towards the end there. There are a bunch of wires in her tiara.

    She might have tried reverse-engineering one of the rings to give her prototyping powers.
    The Condesce prototyped with Vriska and Tavros oh god.

    I think the meteor is travelling to their Medium, not the new Earth. Unless the Condesce can get it into the Medium somehow.

    Maybe the big squid monster is not happy with the Condesce being a servant to somebody else and is wrecking her plans because she doesn't deserve to rule the race anymore
    In a bizarre twist it recognises Karkat as the new highest-blooded troll on their arrival and how he was a successful leader for his team so
    something

    He's actually better than Rose at telling stories.

    And cut the guy some slack. He's lived his entire life alone in a small apartment with only Lil Cal to keep him company. I'm surprised he has any social skills at all.
