> RECALL EMOTIONALLY BIPOLAR SITUATIONS

 

Andrew Hussie is an undeniable master of the [[Weapon of Choice|emotional whipkind abstratus]].

* Taken to extreme levels with the pages that happen after [S] John: Enter village. After a fun and happy time talking to all the salamanders and John being excited to get to the next part of his quest, he is stabbed in the chest by Bec Noir. ''Immediately afterwards'', John ascends to the God Tiers in one of the most [[Awesome Moment|Awesome Moments]] of the comic.

* "[[Came Back Wrong|BOO HOO]] [[Emergency Transformation|HOO]] [[Heroic BSOD|HOO]] [[What Have I Become?|HOO]] [[Power Incontinence|HOO]] [[Sensory Overload|HOO]] [[Unwanted Revival|HOO]] [[Verbal Tic|Woof]] [[Crosses the Line Twice|:'(]]"

* Eridan going absolutely apeshit, killing Feferi and Kanaya right after critically wounding Sollux ended a weekend of bloodshed [[Jaw Drop|with]] [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005249 this.]

** And the SBAHJ reference [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005247 here] has a similar effect.

* GAMZEE: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005345 ENGAGE MURDER MODE] is this. It's hilarious, especially due to Equius' facial reaction two or three panes later, but he's also STRANGLING EQUIUS

** Pretty much anything involving Gamzee after he went homicidal.

* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005446 Be Jack Noir.] Readers should really have expected that the only way that the author could balance out a string of over 2 dozen pages of high-octane awesome would be with following it up with a swift kick to the teeth.

* And then, without warning, [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005449 Jack: Trophy Binge.]

* [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005588 John] [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005589 saying] [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005590 goodbye] to his friends as they deliver an important package to Derse. Such encouraging images counter-pointed with how [[Grimdark]] the situation has become according to Jade's pesterlog, and [[When She Smiles|John's happy face]] either makes you say [[Dude, Not Funny]] or what a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005595 [S] Seer: Descend.]

* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005598 Aww, Dave...] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005602 Haha, slick move, Dave!]

* Terezi decides to fulfill her destiny as a Legislacerator and kill Vriska for everything she's done that was mostly done by Gamzee and Eridan. Horror ensues when she finds a page from Mindfang's journal held down by Nepeta's stolen claw and falls into the Trickster Room with flash-stepping Gamzee. She then dismisses it as one of "Spidertroll's" tricks, finds a record cover and asks, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"WHO'S THIS DOUCHEBAG?"]]. Then she finds her FLARP costume and reunites with her [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|best scalemate,]] only to have it switched out with Lil Cal by Gamzee from her tightly clutching hands.

** For that matter, the conversation and flash leading up to the 1001st clock bring a [[Tear Jerker|completely different feeling]].

* No! [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005763 Vriska's dea]- Nic Cage! Get out of there!

** And later makes a "bawwwww" face and looks adorable when she's about to revive Dave on Derse through a kiss.

* The gravity of Davesprite and Jadesprite's [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005845 conversation] is somewhat spoiled by [[Brick Joke|Unreal Air]] coming in for a landing on Skaia in background.

* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005927 This conversation] between Gamzee and Dave is simultaneously absolutely terrifying and absolutely hilarious. On the one hand, we're seeing the exact moment where Gamzee loses it and turns into a mass-murdering psychopath... and on the other hand, Dave has no idea whether Gamzee is serious or not and is going all [[Deadpan Snarker]] on him. Not to mention that after all this (which also contained some serious plot revelations), it ended with:

* Doc Scratch's prisoner is [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005932 revealed to be Aradia] (or someone who looks just like her), their fight starts out funny, with the mood whiplash starting [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005943 around here].

* [http://mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005953 This page] providing background fo the tale of the Signless is both a [[Tear Jerker]] and a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]:

Doc Scratch: {{[color|white:That is to say, they had never known me.}}] }}

** As are the stories of his adoptive mother, the Dolorosa, and his girlfriend, the Disciple.

** Andrew's shenanigans in the banner during this don't help.

* [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 [[Memetic Mutation]] Pantskat, come to life.

* [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 [[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]. He was indeed snaping wrong.

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

* The White Queen and King reunite for all of 10 seconds before being slaughtered by Bec Noir.

* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006056 Jane answers Lalonde,] the teenage [[Bottle Fairy]], with [[Crowning Moment of Funny|a hilarious conversation,]] until the audience learns [[Conspicuously Public Assassination|recent attempts were made on Jane's life.]] [[Oh Crap]].

* 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.]

* Originally, the strife with Becquerel was to jaunty sci-fi music, called Mutiny, fitting for the space adventures and warpy whooshy stuff we see, followed by a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|joyful and cute]], 8 bit victory tune. When the artist of Mutiny got into a fight with Hussie and left<ref>this is partially why there's no link to the music, as said artist has been DMCA'ing [[YouTube]] links</ref>, this was replaced with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_8pYiN_Pjc Unbreakable Union] a MUCH darker track with Tribal drums and increasingly intense piano and synth effects. The victory music was left unchanged.

* After receiving the revelation that Karkat accidentally gave the entire human universe cancer and gave the kids the bad luck that accidentally gave Jack Noir the ring, we get another SBAHJ in-joke:

PCG: IT'S HIM. }}

* 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] [[Ship Tease|a paper]] [[Crack Pairing|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] [[Eldritch Abomination|to a cue stick pegleg]]. [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006582 Oh] [[Rage Against the Author|crap.]] ''[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006583 Oh] [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|crap.]]'' '''''[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006584 OH] [[Oh Crap|CRAP!]]'''''

* [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 [[Body Horror]], I don't know what is. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Jane's screaming and Gamzee casually waving in the background helps though.]]

** Followed by "unleashing the awesome powers of the ring" by... becoming invisible, then snarking that that's a pointless power, then...

* After making Dirk draw very tame and hilarious "pornography", it's revealed that uu murdered UU and is going [[Laughing Mad]] about it.

** '''And then''' he says he wants to [[Freudian Slip|mate with her.]] Which he promptly corrects into checkmating her.
