writing tip #3872:

what is stopping giant eagles from picking up your protagonist and putting them exactly where they need to be?

EB: won't there be other players in the new session? EB: like, alternate universe versions of ourselves or such? CG: PROBABLY. CG: BUT THOSE CHUMPS WON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT US, OR ALL OUR PLANS. WHY WOULD THEY? EB: yeah… it's just kind of a weird thought. […] EB: but i guess it's sort of comforting too. EB: if rose or dave have to go off and die, at least i get to see them again, in a way. EB: even if i will only be alternate universe john to them. EB: maybe my dad will be alive in that session too!!!

I doubt it, unfortunately.

I’m pretty sure Earth’s First Guardian will be altered by the reboot, which means this timeline will have diverged millions of years before Dad was born. The only humans who'll remain the same in such a radically altered timeline are Sburb Players, since they're getting injected from the outside.

CG: YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON GETTING READY TO START THE SCRATCH. THE GAME DOESN'T MAKE A HARD RESET THAT EASY TO PULL OFF. CG: ONCE YOU INITIATE IT, THE GAME THROWS EVERYTHING IT'S GOT AT YOU. WHICH IS ONE REASON WHY YOU'RE THE BEST GUY FOR THE JOB, BECAUSE OF YOUR SUPERPOWERS AND SILLY WINDY BULLSHIT.

Sburb wants to know if you’re worthy of a second chance – and the burden of proof lies on you, John Egbert.

Good luck!

CG: GET PREPARED, MAKE ALL THE EQUIPMENT YOU THINK YOU'LL NEED, STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. CG: WAIT FOR JADE TO SEND THAT CODE, WAIT FOR ME TO CONTACT YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND DO YOUR BEST TO HUMOR HIM WHILE HE IGNORANTLY ATTEMPTS TO FLAME YOU BACK INTO THE PUDDLE OF SLIME YOU CRAWLED OUT OF.

We’ve finally come full circle, as John is about to experience the iconic Act 5.2 opening conversation between himself and Karkat. Liveblogging it brought up a ton of questions, all of which have slowly been answered, as we watched John grow into the person Karkat first saw.

If we're finally closing this loop, then we really are getting close to the end. I'm getting chills!
