* The February 11th/12th updates... which focused on The doomed Dave who tried to ascend to the god tiers. Especially the panel where he sees Alpha Timeline Dave finding and mourning over Bro.

** The saddest part is that the doomed Dave, [[The Stoic|being Dave]], reacts with utter composure. And yet, you can easily tell by his dialogue [[Not So Stoic|how he's feeling.]] The saddest part probably being:

** Further down [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005389 this dialogue,] it could break some readers hearts to see Dave witnessing what's going on around Skaia, wanting to do something, and yet be powerless to do so...

* Put into context [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005407 this journal entry] from Vriska's ancestor: Marquise Spinneret Mindfang is [[Moral Event Horizon|raping her slave]] just to make her rival Orphaner Dualscar jealous, and ignite/strengthen their odd troll romance further. Yes, it is a record of life centuries ago on Alternia, but still, My God, that poor slave...

** Then the slave is assassinated by Dualscar right when Mindfang starts to feel genuine redrom feelings for her.

Line 174:

** And Rose's [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005538 conversation with Jade] afterwards, at least until she starts going insane.

** Especially this little line. Rose ''immediately'' starts blaming herself.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/alternia Alternia], from the latest album, combined with the image for it, sent This Troper nearly crying just from the start.

* For some reason, Bec Noir [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005455 retaining Becquerel's] [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005456 love] and [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005457 loyalty for Jade] made this troper tear up bit. Heck, even the part where he accidentally [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005459 describes her] as being wonderful and adoring made this troper sad.

Line 216:

* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005835 Nanna finds her son's hat].

* When Rose travels through Dave's dream bubble on the way to delivering the Tumor, they argue about who was the designated pilot for this suicide mission. For once, Dave forgoes all his ironic coolguy nonsense, does not mince words and states, "[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005838 but i dont want you to die]". Then, he decides to stay asleep rather than wake up and try to stop her after she says this:

{{color|#e00707|'''TG:''' what do you mean}}

[[color:#b536de:'''TT:''' It's going to be a long ride through all this nothingness.

'''TT:''' Before it's all over. ]]

* For the most part, John and Vriska finally meeting one another face to face is actually rather [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|sweet]]. But when John finally starts to remember some of the details, like the suit he died in, the reader's brain finally catches up with the haymaker Hussie set up: The John she's talking to is from Davesprite's timeline... the one that Terezi got killed way back in [[Brick Joke|act 4]]. He doesn't remember Vriska because ''he never met her''.

** For any Vriska lover, this scene hurts, because John's immortality will keep the two from meeting for a very long time.
