36. Although to be fair it has been years since I have read many of these. I think it’s about time to dust off the bookshelf…

I’m disgusted by society’s pervasive attitude of dickish skepticism regarding invisible disabilities and mental illness. It’s particularly infuriating when some ignorant ass acts like a frakkin’ expert and refuses to listen to the people who actually know WTF they’re talking about.

Well you can thank Ronald Reagan for this.

Clearly I’m not as brushed up on my political history as I thought.

Because What?

Sorry if the source for this is a bit rushed, but it’s what I could find on short notice. Look at the paragraph beginning with “The Ugly” near the end of the article.

i just realized something

GRIMDORKS SUNK LIKE A MONTH AGO AND I DIDNT NOTICE

grimdorks will not sink until my body is cold and dead in the ground

>:3

Also, relax, it hasn’t sunk.

So this update changes the landscape a bit.

But I’m pretty sure Tavrisprite is the best possible guide Jane could get. Lets look at a few facts:

1. The last time we interacted with Vriska before act 6 was when she was getting exposition from Betatimeline!John about his Denizen.
2. It was implied during one of her conversations with Alphatimeline!John that Tavros may have actually talked to and interacted with his Denizen instead of fighting it.
3. Sprites have fairly extensive knowledge of Sburb and are expected to use that knowledge to server as guides for the players.
4. Jane’s story here on LOCAH is going to end with a confrontation with Hemera.

Using this information to extrapolate, it’s pretty clear we are about to get a huge chunk of Denizen exposition, ending with finally seeing an actual denizen.

Some interesting questions are raised here as well:

1. All of the knowledge Vriska and Tavros would have is most specifically related to Typheus. Why?
2. Does Tavrisprite have both Vriska and Tavros’ psychic powers?
3. Did Gamzee throw them into the kernalsprite SPECIFICALLY for the reasons above, and if so:
4. How much of this was Gamzee’s own initiative or
5. The instructions from someone else?

A strange way to meet, to be sure, but I’ve seen stranger.  Welcome.

That was a heck of a conversation, to be sure.
