Ya’know... I’ve always wondered why they decided to put Arquiusprite into Lil Cal... I could understand Caliborn (because obvious reasons) and Gamzee but why the second most uncomfortable sprite (Calsprite triumphs 1st place hands down) in the comic
But with the bit about AR making it even easier to get into Bro’s head, combined with the best ways to mess with his mind, it just makes everything more depressing for the Strider brothers
I honestly wonder what the real Bro was thinking though everything that happened. But I genuinely believe the things he did for Dave were the real him. The very few times when Bro actually helped like when he split the meteor to give Dave just a little more time entering the game. I want to believe Bro really did love Dave, and tried his best while struggling under Cal’s influence. I want to know how things would have been without Cal. But most of all...
I want Caliborn to go die in a hole and for Cal to be killed with fire for all eternity.
No one messes with my precious Striders
Those boys really need some love
And therapy
Actually everyone in Homestuck needs therapy
Okay.
Okay wait.
Caliborn’s weird homogay crush on Dirk. Is a thing.
And then he got to spend years, years with Dirk.
And part of Cal’s personality knew
EXACTLY
how to fuck with him.
I take back everything bad I’ve ever said about Bro. The fact that Bro didn’t outright molest/murder Dave is a FUCKING MIRACLE.
Magnets and rainbows all up ins.
The implications. I cannot deal with this. No wonder Bro wanted to train Dave so hard. No fucking wonder Bro was always drawing creepy-ass comics about “wanting to play a game.” No wonder when Davesprite prototyped him, all Calsprite did was laugh.
Caliborn was finally able to get Dirk to draw whatever he wanted for him. Whenever he wanted.
Truncated. Disjointed. Sentences. And fucking memes. Writing like there’s two people communicating the message.
I NEED TO FUCKING PUNCH SOMETHING.
