JOHN: do you think that all of our unbridled corpse smooching means karkat's silly shipping prophecy will come true?
John, I know for a fact she's not into you - not right now, anyway - and I'd bet a hundred Boonbonds that you're not into her, either. Even Vriska has more romantic chemistry with you.
JADE: you can hop right through me and join them JADE: then you can travel with them to the new session if you like
Yeah, but you can't hop through yourself, and I highly doubt John is willing to abandon you for literal years. Who does he look like, Grandpa Harley?
...alright, forget I said that.
Look, John's a good egg. He's not going to leave the sister he just met alone on a ship for half of her adolescence. Considering Jade's particular background, that's not something I think she could ever forgive, and it would probably fuck her up for decades to come - possibly forever.
JOHN: i would feel really bad leaving you here, even if you do have a million salamanders and chess guys to keep you company.
And Davesprite, right? He was right beside Jade when she ascended, so I have to assume she picked him up offscreen. She fucking better have, because I still refuse to accept the possibility that Sprites don't survive the end of their session.
Assuming they do, we definitely have Davesprite - and probably Nannasprite & Jaspersprite as well. They were both on planets during Cascade, and it sounds like Jade collected each planet's inhabitants, as well as the planets themselves.
Come to think of it, we should also have the Denizens, who are presumably still lurking in their Palaces. That opens up the possibility of John, Jade or Davesprite making a Choice during their trip - which may well be necessary, considering the absolute mess of a timeline they're due to be dumped into.
JOHN: you are my friend and also my sorta-sister, and we just met for the first time ever a few minutes ago…
It's still pretty crazy that we're finally allowing the kids to start meeting up in person. I think the only pairs who haven't encountered each other are John/Dave and Rose/Jade - which is dang homophobic, if you ask me.
I still ship Rose and Jade a little, despite the comic's insistence on keeping them apart - and as long as we still have pages, we still have time. A true RoseJade warrior never gives up.
JADE: personally, i think this trip could be a lot of fun! JADE: theres no pressure to do anything important or run around like lunatics anymore JADE: we can just relax
Exactly. You can spend time getting to know each other - as well as Davesprite, who definitely needs the company, and Nanna, who is technically your long-lost mother. Plus, you'll be able to start experimenting with your God Tier powers, and potentially unlock more metafictional abilities to increase your quality-of-life.
Also... they aren't actually restricted to living on the Prospitian ship, are they? Jade's got everyone's houses in her sylladex, and there's no reason she can't return them to their original size, once things have settled down a little. The kids can hang out in their own homes!
The more I think about this setup, the sweeter it is. For the first time ever, John, Jade and Nanna can actually be a family.
