History MoodWhiplash / Homestuck

* The first major flash update since the gigapause ended, [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/6901 [S] Game Over]] whiplashes harder than anything we've ever seen yet. It starts with John having a FauxHorrific breakdown over bad manga drawings by Caliborn... it just goes downhill from there. It goes from John and Caliborn having what is essentially a juvenile fight you'd see between middle schoolers, to Kanaya's ''[[UnstoppableRage unrelenting fury]]'' at Gamzee as she proceeds to chainsaw him in half vertically, which is followed up by a [[StylisticSuck more simple, less detailed]] shot as Gamzee bleeds out. The rest of the flash then proceeds to show [[KillEmAll the deaths of many of the heroes]], with only two left standing by the end. To finish off the flash, we see John mercilessly [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat Caliborn to a bloody pulp]] and was only stopped after he got zapped away. Caliborn's shocked expression is a pretty apt reaction to this entire sequence.

Andrew Hussie is an undeniable master of the [[WeaponOfChoice emotional whipkind abstratus]].

* Similarily to the above instance, WV gets [[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=008288 pushed into the lava of LOHAC.]] Then, right after Dave rescues him, we get [[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=008291 this]].

* After Karkat gets [[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=008230 stabbed with a trident]], John treats us with a little CallBack to [[http://www.homestuck.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007623 this]].

* In the midst of Meenah's confession to John, [[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=007970 Aradia stands nearby]], still [[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=007972 smiling]].

* One page, Vriska is [[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=007954 dramatically leaping into the volcano's crater]] after delivering a speech about what she believes in. The next... well, [[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=007955 words can't really do it justice.]]

* Gamzee caring for toddler Calliope? [[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=007885 Heartwarming.]] Gamzee having to put up with toddler Caliborn? ''[[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=007887 Hilarious!]]''

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007638 After Jane and Jake]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007639 recruit]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007640 Roxy into tricksterdom,]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007643 Roxy decides to include Fefetasprite into their ADVENTURE.]] What should foreshadow like another forced abduction becomes heartwarming between [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007646 her and Erisolsprite.]]

** The whole incident is then followed up by [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007663 a late Christmas celebration]].
** Followed by [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007664 worldbuilding]].
** And then a NightmareFuel Flash of [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007677 zooming in on a Zilly Santa's nose with a demonic-sounding version of the silly version of Jingle Bells playing in the background]].
** And to top it all off, Trickster Mode is [[http://www.homestuck.com/?s=6&p=007678 suddenly disengaged]], with Jane looking tweaked out of her mind. Caliborn is not pleased with this turn of events.

** Jane combines both suckers, and reluctantly licks them to recieve their power. That's when '''[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007611 this]]''' happens.

* After the epic events of Dirk: Unite, the B2 kids [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007160 triumphantly enter the Medium together]]. And then [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007161 someone else enters]] too, and Lord English unleashes his terrifying powers for the first time.

*** Then, in the pages afterward, we get an [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007144 overly amorous Auto-Responder]], [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007150 An extremely hammed-up Corpse Makeout]], and [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007152 more of Jane's faces begging to be put in places where they don't belong.]] In between shots of Dirk being awesome.

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/scraps/roxyisthisyoU.gif UU shows Roxy a drawing,]] then TheReveal [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006991 begins.]]

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006936 Jane:]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006939 See Roxy in danger,]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006940 then]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006941 perform]] RunningGag, then [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006946 meet]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006947 Dirk]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006948 in danger,]] then [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006950 see Jake,]] then [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006951 crush on him.]]

*** Well, I wouldn't call it a FreudianSlip and more of Freud tripping over an erect phallus and falling down 12 flights of stairs. [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006335 And then his cigar explodes comically in his face.]]

* [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006725 Jane meets Gamzee in her land]], and her reation is hilarious. Then, [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006727 he sells her potions.]] ''Potions made of the blood of his friends.''
** ''[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006731 He takes out the remains of Tavros and Vriska ]]'' and '''''[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006733 PROTOTYPES THEM!]]''''' If that's not BodyHorror, I don't know what is. Jane's screaming and Gamzee casually waving in the background helps though.

* Andrew Hussie [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006701 finally]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006702 stands up]] against Lord English. Of course it'd be a lot more badass if [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006703 his gun]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006704 was loaded]].

*** ...And then coming full circle with us [[OhCrap actually watching]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?game=save&s=6&p=006711 him die]] [[TearJerker during a heartfelt apology]] [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext to Rufio]].

* We find out that [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006565 the Condesce has taken over the world]] and Dirk and Roxy are living in a post-apocalyptic future under her rule... then we go straight into the intermission, where [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006571 Andrew is nursing Spades Slick back to health]] and feeding him lusus milk.
** Continuing from that scene, Ms. Paint [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006575 seems quite happy to bring Jack soup]]. She [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006576 even makes him]] [[ShipTease a paper]] [[CrackPairing Scotty Dog!]] So she [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006577 walks out in the hallway to bring him the soup]], but as Hussie calls for her [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006578 she stops]] and [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006579 drops]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006580 the soup]]...[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006581 right next]] [[EldritchAbomination to a cue stick pegleg]]. [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006582 Oh]] [[RageAgainstTheAuthor crap.]] ''[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006583 Oh]] [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou crap.]]'' '''''[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006584 OH]] [[OhCrap CRAP!]]'''''
*** And after ''that'' [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006585 we get another memo from Karkat]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006586 where he yells at himself again.]]

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006495 Dream!Jane's Alive!]] {{Squee}}! [[OhNoNotAgain Oh NO...]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006496 Jack's]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006497 about]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006498 to]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006499 rekill!]] OhCrap! [[DidntSeeThatComing Wait...]][[BigDamnHeroes The White Queen]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006500 rescues Jane!]]

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006273 Karkat's breakdown]] is hilarious...until you go to the hidden part with Creator/NicolasCage's NightmareFace and horribly distorted voice. Not to mention that the face appears to be a green skull with a familiar rainbow patter under his chin, raising all sorts of disturbing possibilities.

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006211 PM is about to face off with Jack]], it looks like an epic battle is about to begin, and what does the viewer see? A heart over Jack's head, and a spade over PM's. Awwwww.

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006182 [S] Jane: Get mail. ]]

* In story: Jake [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006130 concludes an epic confrontation with a giant beast]]. Then he accidentally [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006132 shoots]] [[TheWoobie Tinkerbull]].

* After the relatively benign beginning of Act 6, what with [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006059 shenanigans]] [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006071 and]] [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006104 such]], it's revealed that [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006115 Jake's dreamself is dead.]]

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006056 Jane answers Lalonde,]] the teenage HardDrinkingPartyGirl, with a hilarious conversation, until the audience learns [[ConspicuouslyPublicAssassination recent attempts were made on Jane's life.]] OhCrap.

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006007 Courtyard Droll kills Jade, and then dances jauntily.]]

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005985 SHOOOOOOSH!!!]]

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005975 GO,]] HANDMAID, GOOOOOOOO[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005981 OOOOOOH CRAP.]]
** And immediately after, Hussie [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sbahj.php?s=6&p=005982 SNOPS]] the page layout so that it looks like it was ripped from Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff. He was indeed snaping wrong.

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005955 Here,]] the Sufferer is tortured with hot irons and held against an iron jut for his defiance. Upon closer inspection, he’s the MemeticMutation Pantskat, come to life.
** And because merely referencing [[http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?39795-PantsKat the meme]] is never enough for Hussie, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005854 here]] is fedorafreak, while lamenting the the loss of [[TearJerker "departed family members"]], accidentally alchemising "useless, excessively tall pant". Moments later, he announces he is donning the tall pant as a defensive garmant, getting a sudden inexplicable boost of confidence in martial prowess, and on the very next page we hear from him as he [[TearJerker dies from a fatal wound]], likely inflicted as a result of misplaced confidence in martial prowess. [[HopeSpot However]], at the time he was resting on an "[[CameBackStrong horizontal stone slab exhibiting unidentified iconography]]"...
