- TheFinalWraith: I think that even if Mituna moved his Prospit
- TheFinalWraith: It’s all for naught
- TheFinalWraith: Like Kanaya implied there was a price to pay for losing your dream-self
- TheFinalWraith: And Hussie told Caliborn that by killing dream-Calliope he stunted his growth forever
- TheFinalWraith: So it’s the same for Kanaya, Terezi, Karkat, and Gamzee
- TheFinalWraith: Their dream-selves contained the other half of their soul
- TheFinalWraith: And it’s lost forever
- TheFinalWraith: Like I think the union of dream and real souls is a necessary step towards Ascension?
- TheFinalWraith: And corpse-smooches already facilitates that union?
- blastyoboots: ahh, that makes great sense
The callback to what Kanaya said makes this all quite palpable:
TT: I explained this.
TT: The intent isn’t true self sacrifice.
GA: First Of All Youre Underestimating The Gravity Of A Dream Death
GA: Its A Pretty Serious Thing Okay
GA: And Dream Selves Are Important To A Person In Ways That Arent Always Obvious
The Mituna theory still might offer a route for them to ascend, but as this indicates, the thematics might argue a different story. I still don’t know if the trolls will ascend, but my personal opinion leans slightly more against it than for it.
But then again, I’m usually a fan of the pessimistic route. Seer of Doom, and all. :)
