Does this mean we haven't seen the last of Tavros, either? Unless you genuinely killed off your favorite punching bag.

YES

EVERYBODY LISTEN UP. TAVROS IS COMING BACK TO LIFE. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

Thank god you asked that question! It was going to eat me alive keeping a lid on that bombshell.

Do you ever have to make the conscious decision of foreshadowing something you plan on doing based on whether or not you think it is worth the chance people will figure it out ahead of time?

If I want an outcome to be less guessable then I distribute the foreshadowed data more carefully and cryptically. Practically nobody ever guesses stuff I seriously don't want them to guess.

Other times I leave more obvious bread crumbs to let certain outcomes be more guessable to the public. With the whole Kanpire thing I think I was pretty much beating people over the head with foreshadowed elements, including a brazen link to a SBaHJ comic in which Jeff appeared as a vampire directly below the scene of her demise. Hence her resurrection could safely be conducted to a chorus of NO SHIT!s with a few smug CALLED IT!s chiming in for backup, oh and also some HELL YEAH VAMPNAYA TIME!s working their way in there.

Equius was their robot builder, so if he dies here that's it. Although if you steer clear of the Problem Sleuth trinity...

1) Kanaya could bite him which could resurrect him as a vampire.
2) Eridan, in a fit of misguided judgment bring him back to life with SCIENCE
3) Tavros' has a Dersite dreamself that's been sleeping on a Quest Bed in the core of Land of Little Cubes and Tea

she isn't a "vampire" vampire, but that the transformation process is pretty much has her acting like one
so she's basically a vampire but technically not

maybe she needs sustenence for the transformation
maybe she needs genetic material

I dunno, it was just a crazy theory

Why else would mother grub make trolls if not to eat them.



New theory, terezi and the others that contacted the human kids from a good while in the future are all corpse puppets being controlled by gamzee except for karkat that is the last living one hiding out from the other three.
This is why future karkat is trying to work things out, he needs the kids to save him.
