If there are Trolls in the new universe, they should be nice and peaceful like the pre-Scratch Alternia Trolls just to see Karkat, Terezi, and the rest freak out over how NICE the new trolls are. No Legislators, Subjuggulators, and other violent Alternian groups would have certain characters (Terezi, Gamzee) feel kinda left out from the new Earth, which would be interesting character development for them. I have this image in my head of the "old" Trolls looking at the happy and peaceful new Trolls and seeing that things like the "new" Trolls being pretty and fashionable, kind and free of the blood caste system, which don't fit what they've been told what Trolls are "supposed" to be. Then they look at things like their outfits, their beliefs and their goals and see that they're little more than relics from a time that is gone forever. Even if it wasn't for SBurb causing the destruction of the new world, they'd never fit in with their own people.

New update. Post scratch Rose dressed her bunny up like a wizard and then gave it to her daughter.  Also, Bro's is totally a smuppet. Poor Jane.

I'm hoping Bro's bunny was some horrific amalgamation of Cal and the bunny. Or some appalling plush rump bunny. Oh my god, he could very well be the most hosed up kid unless he has the irony skills to pull something like that off.

No, Rose just thought it was a passive-aggressive stab at her, but Mom definitely unironically loved wizards and they could have been gushing over how awesome wizards are the whole time. Also I predict that Jane's Dad will be some bizzaro version of regular Dad who has a full bushy beard.

Mom's love of wizards was totally sincere in my opinion, Rose was just projecting her own cynicism on account of her ASPD complex disorder.quote:Both were heirlooms passed down to them, and they decided to coordinate gift ideas and send you dressed up versions of their beloved childhood toys. That makes it sound like the bunnies were dressed up by Jake and kidMom, not momRose. Also, these bunnies heavily mesh with the idea that all the slime babies came from the pre-scratch universe, since the knitted bunny wouldn't exist if Rose gave it to her daughter instead of knitting it and giving it to John. I still think this means that LE will need this timeline to be scratched too in order to enter our universe.

The theory that the pre-scratch kids went to the post-scratch universe and vice versa makes too much sense, and if that's true his calling card glitch is already in place. And we certainly seem to have some evidence of his handiwork in Jake and Betty Crocker.

I like the idea of Mom and Bro actually being sincere in their weird interests, with Rose and Dave just misinterpreting things to fit their 13-year-old coolkid worldviews. So now we get genuinely saccharine sweet kid Mom and...well, fandom seems to be preemptively hoping that Bro is actually just really into puppets and has an unironic love of anime things like those shades and that katana. I think Hussie could make that hilarious

And we certainly seem to have some evidence of his handiwork in Jake and Betty Crocker. I don't think that theory makes much sense. The babies in the original session went back with the artifacts they had when John created them. If Jane had created the babies that went to the pre-scratch Earth, they probably would have ended up with bunnies in a fedora and wizard hat. It's much more likely the case that the babies John created went to both pre-scratch and post-scratch Earth, so the babies in the pre-scratch universe were created in the session that spawned them. No LE glitch. However, these babies are not from the session that spawned them, so there is the LE glitch. A scratch of the post-scratch universe would be the one where HE IS ALREADY HERE. The unsubtlety of the Crocker and English names are classic Hussie misdirection to make you say "Holy poo poo!" and miss the real clues.  Since I'm full of dumb theories right now, here's another. momRose, like The Sufferer, had flashes of memories from the pre-scratch universe. However, the only memories that ever surfaced were of Jaspers and how much she missed him. She used 4th window technology to appearify him (like Jake has done while working on Jade's present to John). That's where Jaspers went and who the woman he talked about with Nepeta was.

And we certainly seem to have some evidence of his handiwork in Jake and Betty Crocker. I'm pretty sure I know why a "Glitched Session" is unwinnable at any rate, there's a lot of implication that we're dealing with a Life/Hope/Heart/Void team in this group. Which means that there is no Space Player, which means the means for creating a Genesis Frog aren't present, and that there is no Time Player, which means that there's nobody to prepare a do-over if things go wrong. And Sburb is incredibly difficult even with a time-traveller keeping you out of the worst fuckups. I mean, think about it for a bit, we already know that the game adapts itself to the culture of whatever race participates in. So how could you have a game that you can't beat? And that Doc Scratch used the term "Glitch" to describe it, as opposed to describing some kind of personal failure on their part which allowed it. A glitch that ensures that a critical event flag can never be triggered (Breed the Genesis Frog) would very much make a game unwinnable. Even if you beat the Black King, the actual ending can never happen. And if the other "Critical Player" is also on the wrong end of a Scratch, then the normal Fuckup Recovery button is nowhere to be found. An Ironman Mode game that can't be beaten by it's very nature, it's no real surprise that the Troll Ancestors Scratched their session. So the only way to cut off the chain is to have the Time and Space players rejoin the post-scratch Session, and complete it before a third reversal can occur (Which means that Lord English has already won). Which makes Jade bringing their planets and the Battlefield significant, since she's also bringing all of the tools necessary to create and nurture a Genesis Frog along with her. tl;dr: The Lord English Glitch is "You don't have the tools to make a Genesis Frog", and pointing out the "You weren't created in that session!" was a red-herring. True, but completely meaningless in it's proper context. He hasn't won yet, but he's basically entered the victory lap at this point, and it'd take a completely unexpected shift to make him lose.

Since it was the deal with Echidna that the pre-scratch Trolls made that led the conditions of their post-scratch universe, and Jade's deal with Echidna was to bring all the planets along, that would seem to imply that the denizens (or at least just Echidna) are in on Lord English's plot. They were just starting to seem benevolent too.

I tried reading Homestuck and got up to the part where the third character, the "Cool" one, was freaking out over puppets, then lost my place. How loving long is Homestuck? I don't know if I have it in me to try to get all the way back to that point, then get to the end here if it's as titanic as I worry it is.

Also, those links below each panel/update/whatever? The ones that say "Save Game/Auto-save/load game"? Those actually do things - if you save and then press load game later, it returns you to the last page you saved on (or read with auto-save enabled). Uses cookies so if you delete those you lose that, but still handy if you read at a slowish pace.

The first page of Homestuck was MSPA page 1901. Dave freaked out about puppets around page 2361. The current page is page 6029. Since you've left off, MSPA has grown by roughly the size of the first two books of The Lord of the Rings, and that's just in word count.
