Finally, a new flash. I was getting kind of bored of watching Terezi fool around obliviously in that music room. So, umm... what happened? From what I saw, I gathered that Terezi found Vriska, and for some reason, Mindfang's ship's were capsized or something? Can someone explain?

I don't know if you've been reading the Mindfang-journal updates, but a lot of what's been going on recently has been mirroring what happens in those. Relevant to the flash, Mindfang records that the High Subjuggulator sent a greenhorn legislacerator, Redglare, out to collect her and bring her in for trial. Mindfang was basically like, "Lol they'll never catch me," and then it turns out that Redglare's lusus is a very powerful dragon, and she ends up getting captured, losing her vision eightfold and her right arm in the process. So, the bits with the dragons and the ships in the flash are a flashback to Mindfang's capture, when Redglare's lusus destroyed Mindfang's fleet and she was blinded by looking into the dragon's eyes.

This is interspersed with segments showing Terezi climbing to the roof to confront Vriska, which is basically a mirror scene: Terezi is going to bring JU5T1C3 to Mindfang's descendant (however unwittingly) on the orders of the High Subjuggulator's descendant. I find it interesting that Terezi was the one responsible for Vriska losing her eye and her arm earlier--again with the parallels to the ancestors, although that time it was out of chronological order.

But anyway, "Upward Movement" remixed with adorable plushie dragon squeaks: best thing or best thing?
 
For some reason, when I click this thread from New Posts, it doesn't go away, and it still says that Negrek has posted.

Is it bad that now I really want to hear EVERY Homestuck song remixed with adorable plushie dragon squeaks?

Let's not forget, however, that the journal has betrayed us before as a means of prediction. Current reality mirrored the episode in which Mindfang, Dualscar and the High Subjugglator triple-threat face off; however, the journal implies the High Subjugglator killed Dualscar, and makes no mention of a sparkling vampire fucking up everybody's shit.

No. And with any luck, some enterprising fanartist will set out to do exactly that.

Oh, yeah, they definitely don't correlate perfectly with reality. The most glaring thing is their apparent total disregard for the lowblooded trolls, who obviously have the opportunity to mess with their highblooded shenanigans. Of course, in the instance you listed above, the omission of rainbow drinker shenanigans might just be a PR thing. I mean, if you were the High Subjuggulator, what would you tell the media: that you were about to deal with this annoying fish guy when some glowing troll appeared from nowhere and crotch-kicked you clean out of your ship, or that you killed that annoying fish guy, yeah, it was totally you?

Presumably Gamzee showed up at the showdown because he was looking for Eridan and just got a little... unexpectedly sidetracked.

Then again, all we see is Mindfang's writing, and she would have no reason to conceal the rainbow drinker's role if there was any. Let's not forget, Dualscar has the Kanaya analogous slave assassinated out of jealousy, so, Mindfang would be joyed to see her return, much like how Vriska reacted upon being punched by Kanaya.

Furthermore, with this update. You'd have to place a good degree of doubt upon how exactly Vriska would pull off something even analogous, when the only trolls left are a dwindling and mostly separated party.
 
Update indeed. I must say I adore the aesthetic of Equius' ancestor. It also appears that the previous theories of His Honourable Tyranny being Karkat's ancestor have been disproved.
 
Well, looks as though we won't be getting any further journal content.

If it wasn't for the Rose flash earlier, we'd surely be tricked into thinking this also marked an end for pornographic lore.

I'm pretty sure that's not confirmed to be Kanaya's ancestor by anything, and I'd be pretty surprised if it actually was. That station in life doesn't line up with her at all as far as I can tell, and you'd think we would have at least seen her or her "title" or whatnot if she was actually the ancestor of one of the trolls. I'm pretty sure that was just mentioned as an example of "let's piss Dualscar off because he's annoying and useless" and not "let's introduce the ancestor of an important character".

Anyway. More importantly, I'm just glad it looks like
Terezi and Vriska aren't going to kill each other, at least not yet, because I would've been pissed like whoa if Vriska didn't actually get a chance to challenge Jack (even if it did get her killed for her trouble). Even if the coin flip says she stays put she'll probably try to sneak out, and at least it means that she lasts long enough for something to happen along those lines.

ALSO. Thread needs moar fic recs. This one is a really good character-centric one for the kids; it involves Dave coming to terms with being gay, among other slice-of-life thingies, but it's actually been handled quite well so far and manages to do it without turning into a nonsensical shipfest JUST BECAUSE, so he's not drooling all over John or anything. I don't think Dave is gay myself, but it's still quite good. And then there's pretty much everything RedPen has ever written for Homestuck. Well, okay, I haven't read everything yet and will probably not bother with the shippier stuff, but these are awesome. Negrek showed me these and my gog wow. If nothing else please please please read SiCk because omg Gamzee.

Well, I guess what happens next is fairly predictable: Terezi somehow sabotaged the coin flip. That, or she's going to pull the same trick she used against Senator Lemonsnout earlier. Then again, Kratos is right in that Vriska will most likely not just accept it if the coin flip tells her to stay.

Also, I wonder when the scope will shift back to Jade. I'm pretty sure she's the one who's been "out of action" for the longest time now.
 
Oh boy, did someone say 'fic recs'? Because I can do that. I can totally do that.

dellaluce is amazing beyond words. Everything they write is just so poetic and... askjfl;dsa. Especially sun's angle, which is the best Bro fic I have seen, period.
The Only Recipe For Lasagna You'll Ever Need - absolutely hilarious fic, hands-down. There is so much good humor for this fandom it's amazing. This one does have John/Karkat shoehorned in, but I seriously recommend reading it even if you don't like that.
Walking Far from Home: Sinner's Music - another Bro and Dave fic, because I love family stuff. This one hits the characters so accurately, I can't even describe it.

...I know I had more. I know I did. Oh, well. I should probably try the 'discussion' thing sometime instead of just popping in to share fics, too. Hm.
 
Aye. Your avatar is now oddly appropriate. You should keep it even though shuppet month is over.

Terezi noooo :( though I'm not sure whether I should be all that worried, considering there's supposed to be pretty solid confirmation that Terezi and Karkat were still alive at some point after the Critical Event, so unless the Critical Event has already happened and there's been some misdirection (or, alternatively, I missed something, which is always a likely explanation) that means that... something... is going to happen. I dunno.

WAY TO GO, VRISKA. You'd better kick some serious doggie ass before you get splattered all over that asteroid to make up for it.
 
Jack may have gotten rid of the base, but, aside from Vriska, could any of the trolls have survived? I'm fairly willing to suppose Gamzee might not have gotten blasted.
 
Nooooooooooo!!!

Well, we know that seven trolls that we've seen dead so far. Vriska is right there, Aradia is god-tier, Kanaya is a rainbow drinker and we haven't seen her dead, Gamzee is crazy and we haven't seen his body either.

But does anyone else think that Sollux is probably dead? He was with Karkat most recently, I think.
