She gives him no opportunity to toy with Karkat’s pale affections or Terezi’s caliginous ones. Vriska neutralizes Gamzee’s antics for the rest of the trip. The rooftop meeting starts with Gamzee hog-tied instead of pap-shooshed. As before, Dave, Rose, and the Vagabond join the crew while Sollux and Aradia stay in the Furthest Ring. Vriska’s presence profoundly improves the team dynamic. Now that John and Terezi have rewritten history to spare Vriska, it’s time to see the retcon’s effect as the meteor repeats its three-year voyage with Vriska alive this time. We realize how, all this time, L rd English and his puppet servant D oc Scratch have embodied a fusion of Caliborn’s soul with those of Equius, Auto Responder, and Gamzee.Įnough of that. The revelation of Lil Cal’s hybrid nature hits the reader like a brick. Caliborn relinquishes the narrative prompt and goes to battle Yaldabaoth. After narrating his future downfall, Caliborn predicts that Lil Cal will resurface in the nightmares of many universes and release its trapped souls in the form of L rd English. With all those powerful personalities sealed behind Lil Cal’s baby blues, the alpha kids regard the puppet as a dormant danger. Sadly, the spell also catches Arquiusprite’s soul and half of Gamzee’s. The Page of Hope and Prince of Heart are first to recover, hitting the Lordling with a powerful hope field and then soul-ripping pink lightning.Ĭaliborn evades Dirk’s spell until the muscular Arquiusprite surprises everyone with a herd of robot horses and gets Caliborn in a headlock.ĭirk uses the hollow vessel Lil Cal to hold Caliborn’s ripped-out soul. Caliborn gains the upper hand and pummels the Nobles. Only Jane, Jake, Roxy, and Dirk remain in the fight. So, using the Ring of Void, Caliborn sends the juju containing the beta kids to the Furthest Ring where it will never be found. Like Vriska said, Caliborn can only wield this weapon once, and then it can be wielded against him. This changes the juju into a hole in canon. John, Rose, Dave, and Jade are sucked into the juju and trapped there. He opens the chest and uses the house juju on his enemies. The eight god-tier kids crash the party.Ĭaliborn acts fast. The Lord of Time is celebrating his victory with his followers Gamzee, Lil Seb, and Lil Cal, when he is plunged into another fight. Perhaps Gamzee stole that ring from Trickster Roxy after she proposed to Dirk. One of the monitors Caliborn unlocked in his land showed him what he took to be a scene from his future, after he wins his pool ball eyes and treasure chest for slaying his denizen. For his masterpiece, the cherub has rendered in claymation a vision of his own fate, or, as he puts it, “a spoiler to the ending of things.” It’s not about Caliborn’s knockoff characters anymore. The curtains rise on the finale of Homosuck. Act 6 Act 6 Act 5 MASTERPIECE Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 5 She’s 8ack Spoilers ahead!
