Sburban Spectators

A Homestuck Book Club

> Episode 18

Content warnings: discussions of grooming, suicidal ideation, and manipulation.

Episode 18 covers pages 3563 to 3763 of Homestuck.

In which we engage in dream bubble flashbacks/flashpresents, lose control of the narrative to a smug cue ball, and learn about game mechanics such as The Scratch. Rose goes GRIMDARK, Liv Tyler brings tidings from a mysterious pen pal, and John and Rose take on Noir and Terezi is faced with an impossible choice. Disc One ends and Disc Two is looking a little messed up, hopefully a dubious spherical guy can fix it for us soon.
