FewtureMD posted:Dis anyone else see the "element" hints in the flash? I swear I saw the Windy Stuff in Texas, and the Island's clouds looked suspiciously like the ones on LOLAR. Let the rabid element speculation commence! I saw them too, and also noticed that the pattern of sunlight on the water near the island resembled the surface of the beat mesa. So if I had to speculate, I'd say Jane: Something (Heir?) of Light (We see the Sun symbol first for her) Bro: Something (Knight?) of Breath (Windy clouds in front of the buildings) J: Something (Wizard?) of Time (Beat mesa-like light, LoHaC suggestive lava) Mom: Something (Seer?) of Space (only one left if we assume the same elements as the kids)

Was it just me or in the room with the mutant cats and supposedly is the restart Rose counter was the Forth Wall? Also I believe we'll be getting the introductions done then things will speed up.

I'm sure we're not going to do another long introduction rehash. We'll probably go on long enough to get the characters and new universe situation established and then BAM FOURTH WALL BREAK OH HELLO JOHN AND JADE I'm kinda surprised that people are surprised by this. Everything about this update has been foreshadowed for months now. There's nothing about this that we didn't know was coming. Wonder where this universe's version of Doc Scratch is hiding!

John had a poster of Problem Sleuth in his room, one referencing that adventure's early pages. The poster Jane has in exactly the same place is the "Pose as a team. The world is real" from the very end of the same adventure. Kind of an interesting reference there.

I was wondering if we were ever going to see a 13th troll for the remaining star sign. I wonder what his/her gimmick will be? Obsession with snakes and poisons? Also that remix sounded a LOT like Growing Up in some places. I kept expecting the instrumental version of How Do i Live to kick in.

I'm betting that all of the kids will have names that are 11 letters long, with 4 in the first name and 7 in the last. Lalonde and Strider already fit, and Crocker fits too, so I'm thinking J will have a new last name. Also I can't wait until the kids meet their guardians-as-kids. The antics with all eight of them are bound to be good.

Actually I don't think she likes Arrested Development. One of the MUSTACHIOED FUNNYMEN she mentioned was Funke. I think in this world...Tobias Funke is a comedian, possibly in the Blue Man group. Arrested Development and Homestuck are in the same canon. CONFIRMED.

I'm guessing that the Empress is still, somehow, Betty Crocker. Or that trolls are somehow involved in the baking empire, given that Jane's talking about being SURROUNDED BY JOKERS  Also 2X3PRONGDAY sounds like a reference to the Empress, assuming she keeps the same weapon that Feferi did. Evil Mastermind posted:e: Is that Mike Nelson as Indiana Jones over on the right there? That's legendary comic, night judge and magician Harry Anderson you better recognize.

Don't worry guys, we won't have to deal with months of following around new characters. While Jane is in the middle of looking for her arms, Jade will crash through the window, expand to normal size, say "YOU'RE COMING WITH ME" and abscond with our derpy teenage Nana. The course of getting the whole gang together to give them a crash course in how to play SVILL (or whatever SBURB is now) will take about 3 days.

 retarded plot speculation please scroll past I'm gonna have to go with James Harley as my guess for Grandpa's name. Given that he's aware of Jade's existence and calls himself her grandson, it's not out of line to suggest that they have the same surname. Plus, now that she's got all kinds of Green Sun powers on account of being part Becquerel, Jade is qualified to be Earth prime's First Guardian.

Rhinoceraptor posted:Nobody seems to have mentioned it yet, but the caduceus is sometimes used as the symbol for Ophiuchus, the 13th Zodiac symbol. As funny a twist as that would be, I think you're confusing the Caduceus here with the Rod of Asclepius, or the symbol of the dude who represents the Ophiuchus constellation. The Caduceus on the other hand is mostly associated with Hermes/Mercury (and sometimes medicine, because it looks so drat close to the former). I don't doubt whoever was typing on the console was a troll, though, daedric font and all. Nate RFB posted:So, what four letter J name will Grandpa Harley get? There can't be that many left? Jake? Joel? On that note--as far as J's deal with Liv Tyler goes, who's to say he wasn't just getting all of his information from the pre-scratch kids via the fourth wall breakage? Let's say they bust through into this session and at some point (either directly or indirectly) influence him to make it, whether that be in his past or present or what have you. It's entirely possible he only manufactured the bunny because they told him to.

...So what's up with that really beat up Dad hat that Jane has? Silly prediction: The bunny is going to get passed though the ownership of all new four kids again, somehow. That's how it can both be on Jane's bed and also being worked on by young Grandpa. Also: Is there writing on that little monsters poster? It looks scribbled on.

There's definitely something weird going on with that white sun. In addition to looking huge when we see it from space, when we see the little "Homestuck Sun" in the sky at various points in the flash it has a sort of white halo around it.

Oh hey, did anyone notice the Sburb logo only has one box and the screen only had one window? Sorry if it's been pointed out a thousand times, but does that mean there'll only be one player? Maybe all the reset kids will be in a big bunch.

It does seem pretty weird that sburb would be a 1-player game in this universe. But perhaps like the trolls were mislead to believe they'd head two different sessions, Jane is being mislead to believe she'll be the only player, while all the other kid ancestors get their hands on the very same copy thanks to Weird Time poo poo. Or maybe Hussie's going to pull a carpet under our feet and it will turn out that this sburb is just a game.
