Homesuck: Vriska Rising - Page 372

I don't know that Vriska's quest bed was a recuperacoon. It looked like just a stone slab to me. That it was oval-shaped kinda like a recuperacoon, yeah.

It's more a matter of the entire structure the quest-bed-slab was housed inside of. That was the recuperacoon.

One thing I'm wondering about... given that your realself needs to die for the dreamself to ascend, does that mean that ascending necessarily involves subjecting yourself to the Horrorterrors like with Jade? Or does Ascending perhaps grant you a reprieve from it somehow?

okay so i guess everyone who at any point had a dreamself on prospit or derse has magic life smooches
who knew

also i just realized that the only ones with dreamselves which can serve as extra lives are dave or rose

and if rose really does send hers on a suicide mission, then...

dave your corpse is going to have to PUCKER UP

I think its really just Feferi who can do it, otherwise the 'of life' title becomes very pointless.

He was mostly just pointing out the technicality in his wording, not really talking about a mechanic in the game.

Unless that does something else that can't only be done on a person once and only if they have a spare dreamself. I mean, if "Light" means "fortune", then "Life" could be anything really. Her fraymotifs can't all be "Necrolingus Serenade" after all.

Besides I think that Tavros tried to do something similar in-comic more or less puts a flashing banner over it labeled "foreshadowing!!!", with specifically three exclamation marks on it.

Notice how when he reached in for the kiss, blue wind appeared like John's 'windy thing.' Tavros is the Page of Breath, and Vriska wasn't quite dead, so he may have been attempting some kind of magical CPR type thing.

Yeah that's what I thought, but then Andrew decided to specify that prince/princessdom applied to Prospit and Derse.
He didn't need to do that. Feferi was already a princess of an empire.
That this explanation comes right after kissing attempts in-comic just strikes me as something that'll prove to be relevant later.

And by relevant I mean Dave is going to be kissed by John while Karkat watches, in that order.
