The new Bluh didn't make me laugh this time. :(

I think Hussie is using them up entirely too fast.

The rate's been much quicker as well. It was like, a few months, then almost a year, then two weeks, then three days. I'm starting to get really sick of doing things for the sake of having already done them.

He knew that and did it differently this time, I was expecting no bluh at all actually.

Sollux is Sleeping Beauty.

I'm guessing this is a intermediary step in reviving himself, and that he won't just be switching places with his corpse. Maybe when his dream self falls asleep, his dead body will spring back to life.

This raises several interesting questions. Like why Terezi's dreamself is blind. And why Tavros can't just switch with his dreamself instead of getting his legs cut off. And then the most interesting question of all, Aradia's dreamself.

I'm thinking this. As far as we know, aside from the clothing and being able to fly, dreamselves are basically regular selves.

Yeah, he's probably just gonna get some new clothes soon. Although, this is a good chance to see what might have happened to Jade's mind when her dreamself died, since the opposite just happened to Sollux. I wonder how he'll react.

Surely, by the time Tavros has his legs chopped off, the troll dreamselves are dead. He did mention that all of their dreamselves had died when he was talking to Jade.

Huh... I just rewatched the last flash animation, and I just got why Rose destroying her gate was important. Jack Noir had already gone after Dave on LOHAC but was stopped by Bro. However, he could have just gone back through the gates to kill her and John, since their guardians were elsewhere, but since the Gate was destroyed it stopped him from proceeding back through.

Interesting, too, that The Voices From Beyond told her to do that. I'm wondering what their endgame is... and by extension the endgame of Lrd English. Are they trying to continue helping the underdog, and keep a clear winner from emerging from the conflict? Seems like the forces of everything are geared against whatever side is currently winning.

The Noble Circle of HorrorTerrors were against the creation of Becquerel (they told Rose to burn her diaries to destroy the genetic sequence that would be used to create him), meaning that if Becquerel, being a First Guardian, is also an agent of Lord English, the HorrorTerrors are similarly opposed to Lord English. There are very many factions currently involved in this.

This development is full of holes.

Surely, by the time Tavros has his legs chopped off, the troll dreamselves are dead. He did mention that all of their dreamselves had died when he was talking to Jade.

So why can't he just swap clothes and positions with his dreamself before that point?

Is the Echeladder and item management system attached to his original self? Does he like his crippled body the way it is? Or something else?

Full of holes, I tells ya.

However, he could have just gone back through the gates to kill her and John, since their guardians were elsewhere, but since the Gate was destroyed it stopped him from proceeding back through.

But the only reason Jack went to LOHAC in the first place was to justify the use of Atomyk Ebonpyre's melody in Descend.

I know, I know, I'm thinking meta.

Man, Jack and Bro fought for exactly the same reason Dave and Bro fought. Because it would please us.

I'm curious about the dreamself Sollux myself as well. Dream John's room isn't filled with Sburb tools, but Dream Sollux has his alchemeiter sitting up in his Derse room. What is up with this, man.

Also to throw in a fight sequence, epicize Bro some more, and probably to have fun drawing a turntable battlefield! But I was under the impression Jack went to LOHAC to cause more rampant destruction (LOHAC having been arbitrarily chosen out of all four planets).

Solifuge's guess is good, though. I imagine he would want to go after the kids. After all, he's not the Black King or Black Queen. He's not gonna sit on the throne and wait for them to come to him. I think he's going to actively hunt them down. He would have killed Dream John if not for the bunny, for example.

Nah. Jack flew to the LOHAC. Rose destroyed her gate to spite the game, to prove that she was no longer playing by it's rules and was going as far off the rails as possible... and then before this could have epic results we switched to the trolls...
