> APPRAISE LIST OF SHOCKING DEVELOPMENTS
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
* Parodied with [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002848 [S] John: Examine your dad's room]. The reveal that John's dad has a boringly normal room and profession shocks him, but [[The Untwist|the audience is underwhelmed]].
** Shortly after, this tropes is parodied again (and then subverted) when John realizes that Betty Crocker made his favorite snack, Fruit Gushers. He starts having a mental breakdown, but stops when he realizes that it's a stupid thing to get upset over.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130921095256/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002880 [S] Jade: Retrieve package]. The first appearance of Becquerel, who is ''[[Reality Warper|not]]'' a normal dog.
 
== Intermission 1: ==
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
== Act 4: ==
* The [[Flash Forward]] in Act 4 to a [[Bad Future]] where John and Jade are ''dead'' and the game is now [[Unwinnable]] without them.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922010523/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003568 Jack: Ascend]. It's revealed that what was written on Rose's wall is a code that in turn translates to a DNA sequence. Jack meanwhile gets sick of the Black Queen forcing him into silly outfits, and uses Jade's gift to kill her and take her ring for himself.
* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003840 [S] Descend], Jack kills everyone in the Battlefield and starts The Reckoning, Bec is created using the DNA code from Rose's walls, Jack destroys Prospit and sends its moon on a collision course with Skaia, dream Jade manages to wake up dream John in the nick of time but dies herself, and Rose blows up her gate.
 
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
* [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005219 Kanaya chatting with Jade,] informing her Bilious Slick, the Genesis Frog Jade must breed, literally is the new universe- and that by extension, the troll version of Bilious Slick was the kids' universe.
* The series of updates starting with [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005221 Kanaya: Return to the core]. Eridan reveals that [[Face Heel Turn|he's joining Jack Noir]], then proceeds to [[Stealth Pun|blind Sollux with "science"]], kill Feferi, doom the troll race to extinction, and then kill Kanaya. Gamzee goes on a killing spree, taking out Equius and Nepeta.
<!-- %% Doc Scratch's origin wasn't really a WHAM. Intriguing but not shocking. -->
* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005529 The Scratch], long thought to be a dimensional rift that could be used to banish Jack Noir, is revealed to actually be a temporal [[Reset Button]]. And if the kids don't find some way to escape their session, they'll all be erased as well.
* Rose takes John [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005596 back to find their parents' bodies and to battle Jack Noir. Jack Noir kills John again. Rose does not take this well and blows everything up.]
<!-- %% Rose's death, not a WHAM, was well anticipated. -->
* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005903 This series of updates], where Karkat reveals that the reason why the kids session is barren is due to a flaw inherent to their universe. This was due to a mistake he made while creating said universe. [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005920 The continuation] count as well, as it's revealed that Jack only killed the trolls to prevent them from banishing him as well, and that his true target was Bilious Slick.
* Gamzee revealing that he created Lil' Cal and paved the way for Jack Noir's rise.
* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005953 This update] shows the trolls' session is actually the second session their world has been through. The original session was played by the ancestors of "our" trolls, with "our" trolls taking the role of the ancestors. Alternia was also vastly different, with trolls being a peaceful race. When the original twelve players (our trolls' ancestors) were unable to win, unknowingly due to a glitch where they weren't spawned in their own session, they struck a deal and [[Reset Button|scratched]] their universe, in exchange for the players being properly prepared for the next game. Doc Scratch came into play to uphold this bargain, and manipulated Alternia into becoming a [[Death World]], and the troll species into becoming sociopathic warmongers. The roles of ancestors and players was reversed, with our trolls now playing and the original twelve being ancestors. To top it all off, one of the original twelve players, The Sufferer, somehow [[Visions of Another Self|had visions of the original Alternia]], which led to his attempted rebellion.
* For the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131101082400/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/cascade.php?s=6&p=6009 EOA]:
** Jack makes his trip from the Kids's session, to ''Earth,'' and finally into the Troll session, killing most of the Earth exiles along the way. He also badly maims WV by ripping the Uranium out of his stomach.
*** PM ascends by putting on the Queen's Ring and chases Jack into the Troll Session, accompanied by Serenity and carrying WV's body.
Line 125 ⟶ 124:
* Why do pre-Scratch trolls exist as ghosts when the Scratch should've wiped them out completely? [[Token Evil Teammate|Meenah]] blew them all up with their session's tumor, before their universe could reset.
