Re: Striders, I expected nothing less. They are two of the most awkward nerd children and Dirk himself is spectacularly terrible with people. I love it. Love them Striders. (And Lalondes. And Zahhaks.) ALSO: didn't know how much I wanted John <3< Terezi until this moment. N3RDS 1ND33D.
... what I am kinda hoping: the thing with Vriska and Vriska works out so the Vriska who actually had visible character development ends up the alive one instead of the current alive Vriska. I do not much like the current alive Vriska. Not that I really like the other Vriska much either, or that I'm sure I fully buy that her character has in fact changed for the better, but I do like her better than the one who's been shanking Terezi in the self-confidence gland for the past three years.
Can I just say how much Roxy's speech to Calliope, the one about how she still mattered and all, meant to me, though? Because holy shit. I needed that. I honestly needed to hear that, and I legit cried a little because it hit so close to home in the best way, and I just really love Roxy you guys.
I am loving these updates because i theorywanked all this stuff about how Void works back before Roxy was a character T____T
Yeah, I'm fascinated by Void. The more we know about it, the more I can apply it to my glistening horse nerd son.
Spoiler: Ahhhh Yeeeeeah I am happy to see Jane meeting Nannasprite! I just hope that Jasprose doesn't eat her afterwards...

I love how Dave clearly thought so much in the interim three years. This upd8, the bit where he talks with Karkat about toxic culture and everything, all that!
