Dream bubbles, nice cozy dream bubbles. Nothing really bad can happen while your in a dream bubble, right? I mean, you're already dead for real, so what could happen? Weird stuff, that's what.
First, I just got to watch a bunch of dead trolls run around and be cool. Gamzee rode a rocket-shaped carnival ride, Karkat and Terezi were running around killing things. Everyone's having fun. Except that somehow they get separated. I don't mean they got lost. I mean there was a barrier holding people apart. I, who was just reading the comic, not participating, suspected Hussie of this latest weirdness.
However, I quickly calmed down about that when shipping happened. According to dream logic, Hussie let his fans vote on their favorite ships, which I'm sure led to much bloodshed. However, it was time for the big reveal. We started with Karkat. Terezi, Gamzee, and Dave all stepped foreward around him, looking serious. Gamzee even cleaned off his greasepaint. Then, Dave stepped back into the darkness as symbols formed in front of the other two. A diamond appeared in front of Terezi, which pissed me off to no end. However, then something really weird happened. A black heart appeared in front of Gamzee.
Even in dream, I was like, "wait wut?" I jumped on the IRC channel with all my fellow Homestuck geeks, and we freaked out about it for maybe an hour. Meanwhile, other strange things were afoot in the Land of Dreams and Bubbles. A mysterious pink woman (not the Condescension) appeared on the back of a dream bubble and proclaimed that their time of grace was nearly passed. They would soon move on to the true afterlife as soon as the Midgard Serpent arrived. Apparently that triggered something in Nepeta. She transformed into an enormous snake and ate the pink woman as well as her bubble. We all cheered at first, but then, the ground gave way and all the characters fell into darkness.
Slowly, the darkness lifted enough to let the characters see where they had landed. The ground consisted of spines and teeth. Chains rattled along, tugging at the dead trolls, and bones strewn among the teeth collected themselves into half formed skeletons ready to add the trolls to their ranks. Troll hell sucks.
My reaction on the IRC: "kqhhen''ioh''j aoh ' 'oiha'we'qoih2a cherrychewchew!" And yes, the cherrychewchew came from random key mashing. No one else appeared any more coherent, except of course for the resident Homestuck guru, who kept telling us that the current events made perfect sense.
To wrap up all this weirdness, I "woke up", hunted Andrew Hussie down and told him my dream. I think he would have enjoyed it more had he not been trying to go to the bathroom...
