john asks karkat what was up with all that freaking out karkat was doing earlier and karkat doesn't wanna talk about it
all he says is that he just got done "dealing with" gamzee, and we see he's got gamzee's blood on him so. it's pretty heavily implied what "dealing with" means
what does this mean for our two (2) god tiers who have just died??
well for john it means he's in the clear; he died like a total punk to jack, and the universe WILL NOT ACCEPT this death as valid, so john is coming back to life real soon
the rest of the trolls join terezi on the roof shortly after (i forgot to get a picture of karkat here oops)
remember when kanaya came back from the dead as a vampire and beat the shit out of almost every villain in this story??? i hope u weren't expecting any followup on that
these last few pages, where terezi fails to kill vriska and that leads to vriska's fight with jack which leads to everyone's deaths, this has all been terezi's pov
she's seen the consequences of her failure in her mind's eye, and so she will NOT fail in this timeline
let's talk about TEREZI
doc scratch explains the power of a seer, somthn i talked about a little earlier, about how a seer of mind can see the thoughts and potential actions of others and then using that understanding of their mind, see the consequences of those actions
with the power of rolling some rly good dice, vriska is able to challenge jack noir on pretty even terms, and doc scratch suggests that she will probably even win...
buuuuut we're bouncing from this timeline right after this so it doesn't rly matter rn
the result of vriska's all 8 roll is she becomes(?) her ancestor, marquis mindfang
the exact nature of how this works is left vague, which i honestly rly like. i think there's alot u could potentially read into this... but i won't cuz i don't think vriska's that interesting lmao
so anyway karkat and terezi are dead
and hey jack came back to fight vriska, that was nice of him. he just had to do a couple murders first
but just a couple! it's only terezi and karkat's blood on him. i honestly have no idea why he didn't kill the rest of the surviving trolls
LMAO VRISKA GOT DUMPED BY HER KISMESIS CRUSH WHAT A LOSER EVERYONE POINT AND LAUGH AT VRISKA LMFAOOOOOOOO
vriska goes to confront jack noir, but jack is completely disinterested in vriska and instead just follows vriska's pixie trail back to the meteor where the other trolls are hiding to kill them instead, which is exactly what terezi predicted would happen
