Allison > homestuck act 5 part 1(?)

2249

oh yes i've still got it!! >:3

2247

also *who* is this gonna be? i don't remember aradia mentioning a boyfriend. i mean if i had to guess it'd be sollux just due to the aforementioned callback

(i recently discovered the name of this act from the uhc map screen, hopefully that's not really a spoiler)

2246

"AG: Anyway, hey guess what?
AG: I've got a message for you from your 8oyfriend.
AG: He's outside your hive right now!
AA: n0t falling f0r it
AG: Take a look.
AA: i d0nt see anything 0ut there"

oh my god the mobius double reacharound

(callback to aradia visiting sollux in 2146)

this would explain why aradia and tavros, karkat and sollux, terezi and vriska are friends - because they're of similar caste

nepeta and GA kinda sit in the middle. and gamzee doesn't care about status and just hangs out with whoever

2245

hang on a second! do the chumproll colours correspond to blood colours?!

i have been keeping track and so far we know that:

AA: red
TA: yellow
AC: green
AG/CT: blue
TC: something better than blue

in fact... is this list sorted in (reverse) hierarchical order?!?! (aradia being the lowliest)

"Again, I didn't talk you into anything, nor am I doing so now.
You were, and are, going to do this regardless."

hmmmmmm trying to decide if i really buy this or not. i kinda dont!!

"I play with my cards face up."

hahaha loser i beat you to the metaphor!! xD

"I only ever place myself into positions of tangential involvement with events that will bring about my employer's entry into this universe."

oh revealing your hand just like that eh? i'm a little suspicious but also working for THE DEMON does make sense

"All I did was stand somewhere for a few minutes."

fuck i was wrong! i was like nah MW doesn't seem like the type to be the distraction, doesn't seem like the type to get his hands dirty

but i guess he's not above standing around somewhere for a few minutes if it's in service of attempted murder!

2244

[mr. white encourages vriska to murder her friends]

holy shit!!

2242-2243

i'm just enjoying AH's spooky artwork and backgrounds here. i always enjoy when AH gives themself an opportunity to show off their skills with something abstract or surreal

2241

woah all the bodies snared in the web

i have a bad feeling about this aradia...

let's be real archeologists don't actually need whips

owning a whip is a choice

archeology is just the excuse

i only noticed the indiana jones poster a good 5-10 seconds after the whip and let me tell you my mind went places in those few seconds asdkjladsf

2240

hi aradia!!

OH MY GOSH THE WHIP

"GC: W3 W3R3 BOTH D1STR4CT3D BY TH3 S4M3 TH1NG
AA: yeah
AA: wh0 was he anyway
GC: PR3TTY SUR3 1T WAS VR1SKAS FR13ND"

i think they must be talking about equius here?

[terezi and aradia discuss what vriska did to tavros]

ok this is helpful for the trolldiagram. i feel like i'm doing such a bad job with it xD characters are not exactly my strong suit but i'm trying my best!

thinking about rearranging the jade quadrant to
AA: jade-john
GC: jade-dave
AG: jade-rose

2238

holy shit a FLASHBACK (i am now traumatised by flashbacks after the first one)

it's... terezi?!

i got thrown off because it looks like she's in vriska's bedroom, except not because i can see the tree out of the window

she has the DOCUMENTS that are up on vriska's wall (but sans red marker)

"AG: Whoa, what was that????????
GC: WH4T W4S WH4T
AG: There was a loud noise outside my hive!
AG: It sounded like an explosion."

this is so jade coded!! xD

"GC: OH W1LL YOU C4N 1T S3RK3T!
AG: Hahahahahahahaha."

interesting callback to 2204:

"AG: No way! I'm just fine. Why don't you can it.
GA: Every Time You Tell Me To Can It I Think Its Funny
GA: I Mean Its Just A Funny Thing To Say Dont You Think"

"AG: You'll seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
AG: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........"

that's 64 e's (8x8) hehe

"AG: And you're going to do something t8rri8le to some8ody and wish you could t8ke it 8ack 8ut you c8n't!!!!!!!!
AG: And then you'll work hard to win 8ack their trust, and you'll try and try and tr8, and you'll see how hard it is!"

oh girl you are so messed up :(

"AG: Cause even though you got all these highfalutin morals and fancy reserv8tions, you know as well as me that a killer is a killer is a killer!
AG: There 8n't no ch8nging your ways for good, and one d8y you'[ll...] fall f8ce first into the shit ag8in."

lol sigh

"GC: W3 W3R3 SUPPOS3D TO B3 L1K3 4 V1G1L4NT3 DUO D1SP3NS1NG JUST1C3
GC: 4ND YOU COULD T4K3 TH3 B4D GUYS HOM3 4ND F33D TH3M TO YOUR STUP1D SP1D3R
GC: BUT 1NST34D YOU JUST F3D H3R 3V3RYBODY!
GC: 4ND L13D 4ND L13D 4ND L13D
AG: Yeah, those were the days.
AG: I mean, days full of mist8kes and r8gret!"

[re: aradia] "GC: WH4T3V3R 1T W4S YOU D1D TO H3R 1 TH1NK YOU BROK3 H3R BR41N"

uh oh this is ominous

2237

[vriska convo with terezi]

oh god she is not endearing herself to me at all lmfao

and mr. white also seems like a terrible influence and role model. and in any case has been using her to his own ends. don't know what those are but surely nothing good!

her lusus has been demanding food, and satisfying that demand is what has driven vriska to kill and maim

of course a girl raised by a spider prefers to entrap her prey in webs of lies and deceit
