the year is 2028. the homestuck animated show is entering an eagerly awaited arc, which old fans of the work have dubbed "murderstuck". gamzee has gone insane, vriska killed tavros, eridan murdered three people and a fetus, the tensions have never been higher! the episode opens on terezi making an upsetting discovery of the lifeless body surrounded by bronze blood. she gasps in utter dismay!

after a short close up of her saddened face, the camera suddenly snaps into an unnaturally theatrical shot of the room.

"OH NO! POOR TAVROS! WHATEVER SHALL I DO?" she seemingly speaks directly to the audience, accentuating her words with an exaggerated hand gesture, which is unfortunately lost due to the fact that we can only see her back. she is not facing the camera, on the account of the fact that she is blind. she does not know where the camera is.

there is an uncomfortable, completely silent pause.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO?" terezi asks again, again followed by another pregnant pause.

"WHAT? SPEAK UP, I CANNOT HEAR YOU!" she speaks in a very stilted manner, as if screaming directly at you.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY? YOU THINK I SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE BODY?" she pauses again.

"THAT IS A GREAT IDEA! THANK YOU!" she finally snaps out of her unnatural pose, and squats to look closer at dead tavros. after voicing a few discoveries in a delivery that is infinitely more natural than whatever she's been saying for the past two minutes, she stands back up and turns away from you again.

"OKAY! WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO NOW?"

anyway i joke but i do think the idea of adapting the concept of "the audience is inputting commands for these characters to do" in the style of dora the explorer has enough potential to earn at LEAST a single joke in the show
