Revelations Cycle Second Iteration: Red Strays of Ruined Springs

[half_life_wolf]

First (brief) appearance of alternate!Dave, and Karlkat enters the Medium... with some unexpected assistance.

By the way, bonus points to anyone who recognizes where these titles are coming from.

...And because I keep forgetting: should you develop questions about this (incredibly convoluted) bullshit, there is this handy formspring. Can't promise I'

"we have to go deeper!"

Heh. Also I love Nellpeta's utter lack of tact and how Terezi is still such a troll in soul if not in body. SSaHJ yesssss.

Aaaaah can't wait to find out what's happening with the blackouts is a flashback rush about to happen?

[half_life_wolf]

I was wondering if anyone would catch that reference.

Tact is not even a thing that happens with Nepeta, no. Not in any universe ever.

Maybe. Maybe not. All I can tell you is that most of this shit is going to remain mysterious for a long while yet... or at least another couple of chapters. And what flashbacks there are will probably continue making no sense out of context. >.>

AG: FINE. I'D GIVE ANYTHING, AT THIS POINT. WHAT?
...okay, I'll stop my dirty mind here.

(You're screaming, he's screaming, and there's so much candy red blood, Jegus, the first time you meet and he's dying, and you can't handle this. You're drowning in it, drowning in everything, and your side is bloody and ragged but you don't even care, if he's dying then you can die with him, everyone else is already gone. Your only regret will be not being able to take down the bastard who did this, the bastard who had the gall to call himself your friend.

"Kar--")
D'awww, I really like this flashback thingy. It makes me happy and sad at the same time.

[half_life_wolf]

No it's okay my mind is dirty too. Even though that one was unintentional.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, anon!

AG: ...SO IT'S JUST YOU AND CRAZYPANTS MCGEE OVER THERE.

Is that a reference to American McGee, or was Karkat just throwing angry words together?

And then the screaming begins. ...well that was disturbing. D: I do like IKnowWhatI'mDoing!John though.

[half_life_wolf]

bb everything is a reference okay. everything. forever.

I'm enjoying having the opportunity to write him as a guy who knows his shit, yeah. ...I mean he's still kind of fucking up at it because LOL JOHN but. Also you are going to have to be prepared for disturbing things if you are going to read this fic okay. ...Though it won't get any more disturbing than canon has been lately, at least.

[chainey_clink]

I think I can handle that level of disturbing alright.

YES REFERENCES At least he's able to keep Karkat from ragequiting on him.

[half_life_wolf]

One would certainly hope so given all the death recently. Jesus Hussie it's like you're actively trying to crush my dreams.

lol for now. Karlkat is rapidly running out of patience for his shenanigans. And shenanigans in general.

Please continue this! You are awesome. I mostly went on the computer to check whether Homestuck and this had updated. I should be getting my research done.

[half_life_wolf]

o-oh man, I'm right up there with canon. I'm so flattered, anon~! ♥
