We still don't know who's killing them,

creationist believer posted:

Apparently they're crying out because they're being slaughtered

I think it is the Green Sun that is killing them. If a giant fireball suddenly just appeared right beside you, you too would be quite perturbed. They are stuck having it created because if they don't, Beta Timeline, gently caress you, it's created anyways hahahahah eat poo poo Horrorterrors

It is not Lord English himself, because he is too busy actually being in the universe, and eating it or whatever he does.

So the Horrorterrors are stuck creating the thing that kills them, so their only way out of it is to get a bunch of people who can destroy it. So to ensure that they have the best chance of destroying it, they get those people to be the ones who create it. Then they are already right there, ready to undo all their hard work.

Wait, why did he start with the dreamers on Prospit? You'd think that since he comes from Derse it would be easier to start with the dreamers on Derse.

Unless the dreamers have already left Derse so that he can't find them?

It's almost like there is a game-like mechanic where the Dersites cannot go into or get near the Derse dreamers towers. Otherwise every single session would end prematurely when Jack or one of his subordinates or even just a bunch of mooks go up the towers and kill the sleepers.

This doesn't seem to carry over to the Prospit towers, because when would a Dersite ever get to Prospit? :v:

Dad is such a great character despite not have any dialogue. There is something about his actions that speak volumes. The blank face does not detract from it at all.

Pfeh, it would take some type of nigh-omnipotent murder-happy agent of destruction to get the better of Dad. Quite frankly, the notion strikes me as preosterous.

This is still one of my favourite scenes in the whole of the comic. Jack KNOWS Dad is a huge badass, and it is only after he is invincible that he decides to take him on.

If Meenah believes that she is dead because her plan worked, do you think maybe that plan was the A1 Scratch?

I am almost thinking the plan somehow involves that and the pink moon. It kind of seems like the area here is the pink moon, maybe?

Something like
Start Scratch -> Die -> Somehow transfer your deadself/ghost to the pink moon -> Live, dead, forever on some weird dreambubble/furthest ring/pink moon hell.

The Pink Moon has a lot of strange connections. We don't know anything about it, other then it has been there since the start of Act 5, that Rose and Roxy have pink text, and that it was between them at the end of Roxy's Dream Bubble romp flash.

Interesting how when John first went into the Medium, there were imps running around immediately, and his Exile was immediately yelling at him.

Jane has neither of these. The lack of an exile makes a bit more sense because of the future of Earth, but it is still an interesting comparison.

Will Roxy have a combat heavy walk around to mirror Rose's calm one?
Will Dirk spend a long time debating with the Auto Responder about what to prototype his sprite with to mirror Dave's future self taking the decision away from current Dave?
Will Jake be awake to mirror Jade being asleep?

Unless you mean in general, in which case well poo poo yeah. I think that goes from "unwinnable" to "Sburb has performed an illegal operation and needs to close".

This is how they will defeat Lord English.

Imagine the flash. Skaia is just sitting there, glowing slightly... then everything gets darker, and darker, and Skaia's colours change from blue and white to grey and grey, then black and red, then Windows XP theme blue and grey. Then everything starts freaking out like when the game disk was scratched.

Zoom in to Lord English, his eyes freaking out. Then they slow down, slowly, slowly, then two 8 balls, then two cue balls. A single tear falls runs down his cheek, dripping off his gold tooth. In the reflection of the tear drop, Jake, looking confused, then Hussie laughing.

Roxy trapped in the void -> John and Meenah and dream Roxy -> Dave and Karkat Statler and Waldorf-ing John.

WV's rebellion, like Jack's, seems like it could be a constant that players in various sessions could take advantage of.

I am vaguely recalling someone talking about this, where in the infinite pool of Universes, there are only a few WV's who actually get fed up enough to rally the troops for a rebellion. It compared it to Jack, where he doesn't always get fed up enough with the BQ to actually attempt to kill her.

Maybe one of the Doctor Scratch interludes? I don't want to have to troll through all of Homestuck to try and find something that could have just as easily been a Hussie quote.

Basically, there does not seem to be any real constants in Skaia. B2 here doesn't even have the Kings and no Black Queen! Just as easily there could be no Jack in certain sessions, or by some awkward (player instigated) series of events, White could win over Black.

That's two people taken out by that trident, John and Jake. I'm a little worried it's going to become a 'thing'.

One of the best things about John was how he always died. He was the punching bag of B1. He never got emotional about it, always learned from it, and he is always so good natured that he couldn't even get mad at whoever did the killing. If Jake becomes the punching bag of B2, where his hot-bloodedness gets himself into unwinnable scraps, but he always comes out a smarter and stronger man...

Like grandson/son, like grandfather/father.

Let the trident become the Bec Noir of B2, the thing in charge of random dreamself murders, always killing/waking up Jake. And at least one of the various Dirks that are hanging around.

He is destroying Derse because Dream Dirk is running around on Derse. If Dirk was just being an annoyance while staying in his tower, or even if he is just on the moon, just chop the moon's chain, and you are set for life. I think that Dirk is hanging out on Derse so it is harder to find him. A bigger area gives him more hiding spots. But the Draconian Dignitary knows this, and is going for overkill.

You know early on, when the B2 Kids couldn't tell the difference between Dirk and the Auto Responder? Dave would see through his terrible imposter act, and have him singing Daisy after half a conversation. This is what I believe, and cannot wait for the B1's to finally get back into the game.

I still don't really like dirk as a character, as everything he does feels way too orchestrated. He really needs to have one of his plans fail, or for him to find out something he doesn't know.

I also look forward to the day when Dirk fails spectacularly. I was luke-warm to Dave originally because of his cool-guy personality, but after we found out he could and would break, and noticing that he has a noticeable tick when he is unsure or bothered, I started to like him more.

I hope it's Dave who finally breaks Dirk. Dave has real serious issues as a result of his old Guardian, while Dirk just had to deal with stories about his supposed Guardian. Dave has something to prove, Dirk doesn't, so I hope Dave comes out on top.
