Question 216

From the TMBG collection: My uniquely numbered Instant Fan Club key fobs and accompanying engraved keys.
The 2019 edition fob is numbered 4888, which I read as "for infinity" (♾️) It became my TMBG tattoo for that year.
The 2020 edition fob reads 2301 which can be interpreted as "23 January", the date of the band's first show as They Might Be Giants and known as "the 23 show" during which the number 23 kept popping up.
Unfortunately, the 1983 date of "the 23 show" was debunked last year and is now known to be February 13 so my fob's number isn't as special as I first thought. However, I did get the tattoo done during my own personal numerical confluence. I chose December 18, 2020 which was the 23rd anniversary of my 23rd TMBG show at age 23 🤯
In any case, happy 23 day!
It seems he's the only one of his kind with this mutant candy-red blood.
Wow, Sburb really wants these trolls to be mutants.
However he pulled it off, Karkat definitely had the right idea. This seems like the kind of arbitrary thing you’d be culled for - doubly so, since his mutation sort of calls the caste system into question. After all, if it fails to categorize all trolls, then what other flaws could it have?
He thinks he was put on this planet covered in an ocean of his own blood to be taunted. Punished for something. Saddest story you ever heard. Got to do something to shut him up.
That’s all over now, though. You’re the normal one here, Karkat.
Meet your blood brother.
> Karkat: Be in cahoots with Jack.
I love Jack, but I never thought he’d be involved in a moment that’s genuinely sweet.
You and your like-blooded accomplice soon put OPERATION REGISURP into motion, a contingency plan which the archagent conveniently had on file and named himself.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
...you know, I swear I can only see Red Team prototypings on this doodle. I guess the Red Team did have a head start, so there would be a timeframe in which the Queen only exhibits their traits.
Actually, Equius was the first Blue Teamer in, and there might be a hint of an Arthour udder in the middle there. It’s hard to tell.
Your whole team executes the plan along the course of its journey, employing espionage, mind control tactics, political sabotage, vicious interrogations and cold blooded assassinations. Everyone does their part and you begin to learn the true meaning of teamwork, as well as this troll disease called friendship.
Yeah, this is a very different session to the one we’ve left. The trolls sound like absolutely brutal Players - but you have to admit they’re effective.
It probably helps that they’re somewhat miraculously learning to work together. I hope this is another case of non-linear storytelling, because it’d be a waste for all this character growth to happen off-panel.
With each prototyping by each player, the royalty of both sides would evolve.
Bad ass.
Come to think if it, this disproves one of my old Snowman theories. Shortly after the Intermission, I guessed that her teleportation and green aesthetic were due to a First Guardian prototyping - but it turns out she’s eleven parts lusus and one part frog. There’s no space left for anything else.
Plus, she doesn’t have all these enhancements in the Intermission, so her future self will probably lose the Ring entirely. It would have been hard to Exile her if she was wielding it, so the trolls may have stolen it in one of their acts of ‘political sabotage’.
