I don’t even think that Joker is upset at king for saying it, he’s just uncomfortable because he’s the one who actually did it, and just doesn’t like that king’s making it weird
In John’s mind
King: “Oh like you’re one to talk Joker! Not after you went all BDSM on Cecil with that whip! What was that about!”
Grey: “Okay, since we’re all talking about this now I guess. What was that about actually?”
Joker: “That…, That’s not…, I was sending a message.”
Cripple: “How is…, that…, sending a message though. Cecil wasn’t even fighting back for real. Kind of seems like you just always wanted to do that, and you took advantage of the situation.”
Joker: “Shut up! NB back me up here!”
NB: “I don’t know man they got a point, you we’re in the zone back then so I never said anything but I always thought it was strange that you whipped her and then stabbed her, why bother wasting the effort and not just stabbing her to begin with.”
Joker: “You too! You f*cking traitor! It had to look real okay! …Had to give everyone a show!”
King: “And it was quite the show you put on, Cecil was walking with a limp afterwards.”
Joker: “Ugh!” stands up enraged “I’m going wreak your face!”
King: “Like you did to Juni that one time, you left that girl’s lips swollen for days.”
Joker: “Why are you like this!”
King: “Hey! That was all you man.” smirks “I’m just calling it as I see it. I can’t help it if you’re into that!”
Cripple: “Grey can we please agree to get some therapy.”
Grey: “I’ll consider the idea.”
NB: “You do realize that was his polite way of telling you no right?”
I’m pretty sure that’s part of why he was a dick to John, Blysemi probably told them abt what’s been going down at Wellston when they met up with him/reminisced about Rei
ngl i wish the earlier johns had their speech bubbles as the pure black ones from the earlier chapters with gray having the updated dark gray speech bubbles instead
King: After we beat his ass let's tell him how we blew Remi's back out in front of the whole school and put her in the hospital.
Cripple: ...
NB: ...
Joker: ...wow, even for me, that's just...wow!
Grey: Well that's not exactly an untrue statement.
Cripple: Sera was right, we do need therapy.
King: Therapy is for pussies.
Which John personalities do you imagine got the joke and which just think King's being literal.
Cripple hopes King is joking, Grey knows he is, NB and Joker stare at King like he’s crazy for a full minute

The other John’s will never let Joker live his questionable decisions down lmao

I’m sure Kuyo would doubly regret messing with John if he’d said that lmao and also wonder if he needed to talk to Remi privately
John: “Oh don’t worry Kuyo, Arlo saw the whole thing.”
Kuyo: horrified “Arlo was watching!”
John: “No!”
Kuyo: sigh of relief
John: “Arlo was participating!
Kuyo: draws a sword “…I’ve failed as a brother figure.” assumes the position for seppuku
NAHHH
Lmao
Jesus Christ 😭😭😭
I’m pretty sure that’s part of why he was a dick to John, Blysemi probably told them abt what’s been going down at Wellston when they met up with him/reminisced about Rei
Punch him in the face!!!!
A reality that very nearly happened if Blyke hadn’t been in jail
Kuyo might be a master ragebaiter, but I feel like he might be biting off more than he could chew here.
John/Those four would make him eat his own ponytail if the push comes to shove.
Yeah like I love Kuyo for it but there are some people you shouldn’t ragebait too much and John is one of them lol
He is bit of a bully, but he forgets the no 1 rule of bullying: Never bully someone that can and will hit back.
Kuyo is probably going to learn to keep his little quips toned down around John once he gets to see John let it loose on EMBER.
Either that, or they bond over carnage...and loss.
Honestly though kuyo was talking mad shit. Like bro damn what they do to you!!!! Keep talking shit see what happens stepping stool
Just Kuyo being Kuyo lol he doesn’t have Rei, Arlo, or Blyke to ragebait so he’s seeking out new victims
Now I’m curious how they’ll react during John and Sera’s more intimate moments
Joker would be all for it, Cripple would be too, King would go full tsundere, and NB’s disgusted
Full chaos, I love it 😂
Grey's all for it too right ? And we need more Tsundere King
Yep! Grey is too
I'd be like don't worry worst case scenario I'll sacrifice myself so you can RUN AWAY
A 50/50 plan
😂I think he wants to punch him in the face
He really considered it
XD He really did
What does grey mean
Basically current John, a little calmer
Pleaseeeee do the scene when arlo ambushes him. I would absolutely LOVE to see cripple John heartbroken

So delighted to have come across another one of these, OP!! You keep me well fed
