Ok, so I'm at the end of Part 3 or Act 6.
I think the new kids are growing on me a little more now that the plot is starting to progress. They're nowhere near my top favorites but they're not bad. Favorite of the new ones is probably Jake, but that shouldn't be surprising with what I like about the original kids.
The reveal of who, or I suppose, what Calliope and her brother are did catch me off guard. I feel like every time I expect a certain thing, I get surprised by something completely different.
She might be one of my favorites already, mostly because I like that archetype of the naive, cute, good-natured girl who only wants to see more of the world.
I assume they're some kind of proto version of the big bad, probably caused by the kids somehow?
I was going to ask if he actually killed off the other characters, but my assumption at this point is yes, but most of them will get better.
Jade has to be alive in some capacity to get a dog dick in the post-canon stuff, right?
Kill me.
I'm most curious to see how this new session of Sburb will work out now that Caliborn is in the mix and whether the two Jacks will make things worse or better.
Sorry for a final spoiler, but I couldn't figure out where to put this but I kinda don't want any more Vriska cameos. I like her quite a bit but I liked the idea of her finally learning her lesson now that she's dead and can have time to reflect in an environment where she's not in any danger. I liked the interaction with her and Tavros, I shouldn't be surprised that he doesn't even have the balls or the heart? Whichever, to be mad at Vriska for killing him.
Good stuff. Hope everyone else that's been reading along is enjoying themselves.
