Leave the kid alone, bub! He’s just as confused as you are!

Kind of sweet that he’s trying to mentor Tavros, though. Makes sense that Hearts Boxcars would be invested in romance. 

You cannot do it. You cannot kiss the girl.

Good on Tavros, for sidestepping what was potentially the most toxic relationship in Homestuck.

If we learned anything from FLARP, it’s that Tavros is surprisingly good at avoiding bad situations - unless he’s literally forced into them. 

> Thief. > You will need to be strong. > There is important work for you to do. 

Looks like Snowman’s finally got Vriska in a more ‘responsive’ mood. 

What’s the job, 8-ball? 

The Thief and the Seer were to serve as twin lashes of the scourge cracked by a quasiroyal against her own former kingdom to settle a score. To make him pay.

Team Scourge, back together for one last job. 

This mission might reconcile them for real - but it could also cause an even worse fallout than before. We know the mission gets completed, at least. 

Scourge's black inches would rip red miles through Derse, and the bright rivers gushing from its wounds would wash her mutineers down the drains of exile. In time they would have to answer for their treason.

It’s not just Jack - Snowman seeks revenge on the entire Crew. 

Deuce was the one who reported her vulnerability, not to mention the Ring’s location, and I suppose Droog and Boxcars had parts to play, too. 

Snowman can use the ‘body portal’ ability possessed by First Guardians. She really does have a shard of Doc Scratch’s power. 

Patience would be necessary. But then, she'd recently come into all the time in the universe.

Is Felt!Snowman immortal? 

That doesn’t track. The Crew didn’t even want to shoot her, lest they destroy the universe. She sort of needs to be mortal for that trait to make any sense at all. 

Maybe she simply doesn’t age - but I suspect that that’s the case for all Carapacians. I think she’s talking about something else. 

[you-hate-time-travel]

ermmmmm,,,,,hmmmmmm,,,,,,,,bq/snowman thoughts,,,,,,, =:333

alright. here it is. my thoughts on what snowy is like! let's get right into it.

Content warning for some talk of an abusive relationship, an allusion to suicide, as well as fast/flashing GIFs. Heavy stuff, i know. You've been warned.

page 2555, with highlighted text for emphasis:

To bring every circle closed, her [Vriska's] partner and rival would have to be guided in tandem. The Thief and the Seer were to serve as twin lashes of the scourge cracked by a quasiroyal against her own former kingdom to settle a score. To make him pay. Scourge's black inches would rip red miles through Derse, and the bright rivers gushing from its wounds would wash her mutineers down the drains of exile. In time they would have to answer for their treason.

Patience would be necessary. But then, she'd recently come into all the time in the universe.

she is just so. god. She considers Vriska and Terezi to be tools that she can use to settle her kinda petty score against Slick, and by extension, everyone who has wronged her. Which, by the looks of it, is every single dersite.

it was her kingdom, and they took it from her. but she got something more. She got to be the universe. It's the highest possible position you could have, where no one can harm you without risking everything. but that's not what she wants! she wants vengeance.

And vengeance she does get, in the form of cost-free torment toward her old secretary for however long the felt and midnight crew have been fucking with eachother.

Their power dynamic is always bad. first, she's his boss, the Queen of Derse. Then she's the universe. He can't harm her. She can do whatever the hell she wants, of course.

In another universe, the Black Queen humiliates Jack by dressing him up in pretty dresses and silly hats.

(page 958-9)

Your transmission is interrupted.

It seems your GLORIOUS MONARCH has concerns over your wardrobe.

FINE.

You begrudgingly don the COMICAL HAT.

Stupid lousy WISE AND JUST LEADER. What a royal pain in the ass.

Jack: Throw down hat in disgust.

You fully intend to once your superior stops breathing down your neck for a second.

He's under constant surveillance.

And when he rips his nice clothes?

It is not acceptable behavior.

So, the situation doesn't change whatever time or universe you're in. Back to the Beta trolls' universe, then.

When Slick arrives on the rooftop, he's completely beaten. His gang is dead. He's got nothing. He's got nothing to lose, and neither does she. But she'll still win. Snowman taunts him, they're going out on her terms. As far as she knows, he's going to die, along with literally everyone else.

She takes his eye, his arm, but ultimately, it's him who tries to take his life.

She's certainly one hell of a character.

karkat pov liveblog: hivebent, part 3

much of the actual exciting events of hivebent--on this side, at least--are revealed through exposition. its like if you watched a heist movie where they explain the heist while its carried out but if you just heard the explanation and didnt watch any of the actual scenes.

You and your like-blooded accomplice soon put OPERATION REGISURP into motion, a contingency plan which the archagent conveniently had on file and named himself. If it were drafted by a legitimate contingency firm, it would ostensibly have been given a better title. Your whole team executes the plan along the course of its journey, employing espionage, mind control tactics, political sabotage, vicious interrogations and cold blooded assassinations. Everyone does their part and you begin to learn the true meaning of teamwork, as well as this troll disease called friendship.

oh my god. they just straight up. learn the true meaning of friendship. phrased a bit silly but its just right there lmao.

But before a single step is taken, Jack briefs you on the intelligence uncovered by one of his agents. It is an advantage over the queen you will seize upon while she has let her guard down. With each prototyping by each player, the royalty of both sides would evolve. The queen with her RING OF ORBS TWELVEFOLD would first take on the claws and ridged carapace of your lusus. And then the wings and scales of Terezi's young dragon. And then the horns and gills and cloven hooves of Gamzee's fallen custodian. And so it would continue. Though a queen is a vain creature, she is also sworn to her duty. She would be braced for the heavy load of augmentation ahead. She could certainly withstand the eight eyes of an arachnid. The fairy wings might at worst be frivolous, and the great bull horns could even be regarded as striking additions. For that matter, the sultry lips of a mother grub might very plausibly suit her. She perhaps would wear a brave face even behind a dignified mustache, and the centauring of her lower torso could transpire without much complaint. She would dutifully indulge a lactating udder. And when all was said and done, doubling her head count would surely be insult to elevenfold injury, but nothing she hadn't essentially endured already, all in the name of her kingdom. But she would spare herself all of these additional debasements. Because before the rest came, there would be one corruption to her figure she could not abide. Her vanity wouldn't allow it.

im gonna post all this exposition in here--after all, if this is to be a resource for keeping up with the chronological events here, i might as well include this whole thing. perhaps i will return to it later if it fits nicely?

She could not stand bearing the visage of the most loathsome creature known to existence. So vile is its appearance, so contemptible its purpose, all depictions of the creature let alone members of its population are permanently banned from any jurisdiction in the reach of her agents. Those of its kind go by many names, and so does the reviled patron god they herald - THE GREAT DETESTATION, KING PONDSQUATTER, SPEAKER OF THE VAST JOKE, or most commonly, BILIOUS SLICK. His true name is of course forbidden. And wearing his face is where she drew the line.

She removed the ring and concealed it in the ROYAL VAULT while she was quite sure no one was looking. She then retired to her private chamber from which she would dispatch orders, no one the wiser of her disadvantage. Or so she thought.

the queen is seen removing her ring...

The operation in time would be a total success. The BANISHED QUASIROYAL would make the future Alternian wasteland her home. Until she was given a new purpose.

...and that seems to result in success. although at this point, we shouldnt know this. this part is genuinely a bit hard to keep chronological in the strict scheme of this blog but i think it at least makes sense.

But at the onset, you would know nothing of the queen's aversion to an amphibious likeness, or about her orbs twelvefold, or any such details. You were informed of her disadvantage, and would act accordingly. You and your red teammates would work to dethrone the queen in your session, while the blue team members would take on the entirely separate set of royal adversaries in their own session. This was to be a competition, after all. Or so you thought.

yeah, we dont know any of that yet. lets get back to terezi and karkat.

on the land of thought and flow, we can see them fighting some underlings with traits of prototypings from both teams. one has terezi's dragon's wings and aurthour's (i know im not spelling that correctly. there is no way.) mustache, one has the frog statue's head and goatdad's tail, another has gamzee's lusus's horns, crabdad's claws, and aurthour's (i checked. its accurate) udders, and the last has pounce de leon's mouths/ears and gamzee's lusus's fins. interesting.

and now a jump ahead 200 pages to karkats first memo.

interesting look at the timelines! do we ever know exactly what those gray/black segments mean?

anyways, im currently being "past" karkat here. welcome to the land of memos, karkat. you will have many of these in your future.

PCG: IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO ME IN RESPONSE TO A MEMO, MESSAGE ME IN PRIVATE AT THE APPROPRIATE POINT ON THE TIMELINE. PCG: FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS ABOUT THE TEAMS. PCG: AS OF NOW, YOU SHOULD ALL BE AWARE THAT THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE TEAM, AND WE ARE ALL WORKING TOGETHER.

yep, as of a few pages ago (from my pov, though the extension doesnt follow through to the end of the puzzle here being solved) they figured this out from those prototypings.

You would begin to notice a strange pattern. The blue team's prototypings would affect the mutations of your session's underlings. And your prototypings would affect theirs. Though the signs pointed to two distinct sessions - two sets of mystic ruins, two opposing teams, two separate chains of connected players - this was all misleading. The truth was it had always been the same session all along. That your teams were not competing, but cooperating toward a common goal. In the more drawn out form of this adventure's narrative, figuring this out would have been a huge deal. We would have been completely blown away by this stunning revelation. Wow. Same session all along. Really? Huh.

if i ever were to write a longform hivebent rewrite fic, i sure would make that reveal be exciting! back to karkat.

PCG: AND BY "NOW" I MEAN TIME LOCAL TO ME AS OF WRITING THIS. PCG: SO IF YOU'RE READING THIS IN THE PAST... PCG: UH OK FIRST OF ALL, HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS FEATURE ALREADY? SECOND WHY DIDN'T YOU FUCKING TELL ME.

well, since from this page hes "past" karkat, and im reading this in the "past" even though it is currently being written...i guess i still am reading it in the past? man idk.

anyways, he has now announced to everyone the true nature of their session (and he wants to be the leader of them all, much to equius's discomfort.)

FUTURE carcinoGeneticist [FCG] 612 HOURS FROM NOW responded to memo. FCG: GROAN. FCG: THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING. FCG: WHAT WAS I EVEN THINKING. PCG: STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i cant WAIT to read all of his little arguments with himself in order. it will be glorious.

jack and karkat solve a puzzle in a frog temple. meanwhile, karkat begins another memo.

CCG: PEOPLE, WE NEED TO GET ORGANIZED HERE. CCG: SHIT IS GETTING SERIOUS. CCG: WE ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON OPERATION REGISURP, A CUNNING PLAN DEVISED BY DOUBLE ARCHAGENT JACK NOIR TO EXILE THE BLACK QUEEN. CCG: WE WILL NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR THIS, EVEN THE IDIOTS.

the plot is really ramping up!

karkat is quickly distracted by attempting to resolve eridan's romantic issues. poor kid just cant resist!

FCA: i got a problem FCA: wwith feferi FCA: and im really kinda sittin here in bad shape about it emotionally speakin CCG: OK, WELL CCG: I GET THAT, I HEAR YOU BRO CCG: BUT THIS IS STILL NOT THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THIS SO I'VE GOT TO BAN YOU. CURRENT carcinoGeneticist [CCG] banned FUTURE caligulasAquarium [FCA] from responding to memo. CCG: BUT SERIOUSLY JUST GET IN TOUCH WITH ME IN PRIVATE ABOUT IT, OK MAN? CCG: WE'LL GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHTENED OUT. CCG: OK. CCG: IS EVERYBODY GOOD?

as terrible as things end up going re: eridan and feferi, karkat is being really sweet here. maybe a bit too nice given how eridan is but...this guy really cares. talk about learning the true meaning of friendship!

FAG: We kicked the queen out of there no sweat! It was easy. In fact, I did most of the work myself, right 8efore I found all the treasure and scaled all the rungs. CCG: OH, ALL OF THEM YOU SAY? CCG: FASCINATING.

future arachnidsgrip, aka "fag" (honestly one of my fave gags in the whole comic lmfao) shows up to tell karkat things go fine. as usual, he is very mad about the interference with his beloved memos.

CCG: IF I WERE FUTURE ME, WHICH I GUESS I AM, I WOULD READ THIS AND BE ALL OVER IT, LIKE DAMMIT KARKAT WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING. CCG: GET TO THE POINT. FUTURE carcinoGeneticist [FCG] 0:20 HOURS FROM NOW responded to memo. FCG: YEAH PRETTY MUCH. CCG banned FCG from responding to memo.

shakes my head while tutting in disappointment. he is NOT beating the selfcest blackrom allegations.

chaos is ensuing. past tavros shows up to ask for help with vriska, and then past vriska chimes in on those very events.

CCG: OK, MAYBE I'LL TAKE A MINUTE TO COLLECT MY THOUGHTS AND GET BACK ON TOPIC HERE. FUTURE carcinoGeneticist [FCG] 609 HOURS FROM NOW responded to memo. FCG: NO YOU WON'T. FCG: THIS ONE WAS PARTICULARLY NAUSEATING IN RETROSPECT, I'M SHUTTING THIS DOWN. FCG banned CCG from responding to memo. FCG closed memo.

yeah, i think thats a good place to pause.

[7outerelements]

Patrick Rothfuss has gone on record about how part of the romance and the tragedy of Kvothe and Denna's relationship is how similar they are, but Kvothe is chronically incapable of hitting the bricks. His life would be ten thousand times easier if he was a leaf on the wind, but even with wandering in his blood, he can't help getting attached. There's irony in a rambling quasiroyal being more free in her movement than someone who called a carriage home for his whole childhood.

Author commentary: I dunno about any trivia for this page. I already said stuff about this. She helps boot her whole kingdom of traitors outta the session so she can eventually torment them all in the Felt mansion to get her revenge. Anything else to add here? Sorry, I'm too distracted by this badass drawing of Snowman. You agree, right? Word.

[botanicalcanopus]

theoretically couldn't a black king go into exile and become a Broken Knacker just as how a black queen can become a Banished Quasiroyal

Yep! Or at least I see it that way. Like there's a near infinite amount of things that could happen to cause that ranging from him being a turncoat to some form of civil unrest and the queen exiles him instead. He doesn't necessarily have to be a helpful exile either, he could literally just be doing things out of spite!

Round 1 Match 17

(Before and after exile.)

The top three characters will proceed to the next round!

[artbyifer]

Working on my carapacian designs. I think I’m happy with the head and neck now, just gotta figure out the rest of the body. I did this colour study of the Black Queen to try to get a hang on how I want the texture and material of the carapace to look. Not quite what I wanted, but close. I am not happy with the face seams though, I think they need to be more subtle. More surprising when one opens their mouth.

[chubby-aphrodite]

Transparent Sn0wman and a carapacian queen base. or any adult base, if you want. 

[thewertsearch]

Though a queen is a vain creature, she is also sworn to her duty. She would be braced for the heavy load of augmentation ahead.

[...] there would be one corruption to her figure she could not abide. Her vanity wouldn't allow it.

We always knew Aradia’s was a tactical prototyping, and now we know her goal.

The Queen absolutely refuses to look like one of the most hated creatures on Derse - and she’s not an Underling, so she can reject this change. It just means she has to reject all the others, too, leaving her vulnerable to Exile. 

Those of its kind go by many names, and so does the reviled patron god they herald - THE GREAT DETESTATION, KING PONDSQUATTER, SPEAKER OF THE VAST JOKE, or most commonly, BILIOUS SLICK.

Holy shit, there really is a frog god! I was starting to wonder if I was completely barking up the wrong tree with that theory. It seems all the frogs we’ve been seeing are his heralds, a sign of something big.

I’d still put pretty good odds on my theory that the Frog God - Bilious Slick - is the secret final boss of Sburb, a post-Reckoning challenge that appears on Skaia. I can’t glean much from his Dersite ‘titles’ - most are just frog-themed insults - but one of them is, rather ominously, the Speaker of the Vast Joke. Seems like we’re not done with clowns and harlequins just yet.  

Something else that’s notable - upon his Exile, Jack took the name ‘Spades Slick’, which is presumably an intentional reference. Did he do it to reject Derse, or just to piss Snowman off? (It’s the second one.)

She removed the ring and concealed it in the ROYAL VAULT while she was quite sure no one was looking. [...]

Or so she thought.

Don't underestimate the Deuce.

The BANISHED QUASIROYAL would make the future Alternian wasteland her home.

Until she was given a new purpose.

Doc Scratch, who wants the universe destroyed, has an interest in Snowman, who can destroy the universe. 

I can't imagine why.
