slippyWow. Just basically wow. When I got to "Will you..." my first thought was to complete it with "marry me?" and yet I was still surprised HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT.
this comic ... I can only love it. Most of the time. When I do, I love it a lot. Luckily I picked up enough about the Vriska is Hussie's Self-Insert and Girlfriend jokes from his deleted Formspring that this didn't seem completely bizarre (just beautifully bizarre). A lot of fandom seems to be wildly perplexed.
And yet I'm also taking this update kind of seriously because Vriska is wandering through Tavros's game land, which is part wonderful and part terrible, as per any kind of Tavros-Vriska interaction. What does it meeeaaaan, where is Doomed John, (can I really be thinking about Vriska/Hussie in a legit way no please stop), what has she been doing! Being depressed apparently. Well, that's better than bouncing back into old form.
I am very mopey about the lack of Gamzee this intermission, though. Not even a single panel of a creepy silhouette doing mysterious things? I hope this is another fake-out intermission ending and we do get a panel like that. Although getting back to Jane, Dirk, and Roxy's situations also promises to be pretty great.

Bah, booooooooring. Gamzee is clearly > Lil' Cal. *laughs* Priorities, I has them!
*snerk* Well, fair enough! It was really nice to see Doc Scratch get what he deserved. Though I think it would've been even better if he managed to die at the hands of the kids/the trolls/the poor baby Handmaiden! And it's interesting in a storytelling way; the author is explicitly dead, etc. I guess we'll see~~
