Incidentally, Spoiler Condy's hair is notably smaller later in the fight. I have decided this is a representation of her hit points. :::PPP
also Spoiler hearts horseshoes and stars is back and i noticed the delebration pose has shown up before coincidence? probably
Spoiler: hoo boy Karkat Vantas: flirting with two alien species at once. You go, tiger, even if you didn't know it.
Spoiler At least we do know all the alpha and beta kids probably survive because they're all alive when LE gets created and stuck in Lil Cal.
Spoiler My favorite detail of Collide is the entire lack of presence in Aranea as a major player. It's in her personality to try and fuck with things. She attempted to in the past and failed miserably. She failed so hard that she succeeded and was relegated to languish in unimportance and being forgotten. Which I think is just a lovely end to her character arc. Seeing that upheld in the animation makes me happy.
Also also also. Spoiler The fact that the first shot of Jake in the video the camera is aimed straight at his crotch. Poor, sexualized-for-the-[pick a gender]-Gaze Jake. :::PPP
Spoiler I remember how blown away I was when a friend pointed out that Jake is a damsel. Like that is his role in his group. He is the chick.
*screaming* I don't have anything intelligent to say right now, so instead Spoiler: get those shoes off, boy
Spoiler Dirk is really taking this "splintered self" business a little far. I mean, he keeps losing his head over it. Spoiler This kind of thing is really a lot less fun since we know he survives.
the fraymotifs reminded me of the homestuck rpg i was writing around 2011-2012 and. oh my god. i miss it.
