I was thinking this ever since Caliborn gave Jake his juju. When act 5 came out everyone came up with theories that Jake and Jane would become evil because of their associations with Lord English and the Condesce, but as the story went on the idea seemed more ridiculous.

But now Jake has willingly agreed to let Caliborn be his mentor, and accepted his juju, whatever it is. Jane has Calliope’s juju, and while in a very emotionally vulnerable state has put on her brainwashing tiaratop.

And the thing is, The Imperious Condescension HATES Lord English. Would if she plans to use Jane and the juju as a weapon against Lord English/Jake?

And Jake is trying to give Jane Caliborn’s juju. Caliborn says that inevitability falls in his favor, so would if Jane receiving both Caliborn and Calliope’s jujus + getting brainwashed is part of this? Jane baby, noooo. :C

nothing in homestuck has ever made me as sad as this

Y’know Jake

I think abandoning your loved ones for indefinite periods of time with no warning or fanfare is a bad habit of yours

and telling them you believe in them all the time doesn’t make it hurt less, or you less of a jerk for it. :\
