Reset Mom is going to be one of those giggly insufferable girls you knew in high school that gossiped about everybody and talked in txtspk terms aloud and is girly as hell. The passive aggressive-offs were all in Rose's head. Mom was just that loving and genuine.

Not necessarily. Thanks to the presence of all the items that the guardians had when John sent them to Earth, it looks like the reset-Versions of the guardians are the same ones that John created.

I don't think that's the case, but seeing as we've already been through that in great length just a page or two ago, I won't berate the point again. I guess we'll have to wait and see how ectobiology does or doesn't go down the road.

H.P. Shivcraft posted:It's interesting that Jake thinks he's sending the gift back in time only, rather than back in time and across universes. Obviously he's being fed information, but not very clearly. And he's said his arm was twisted in his letter -- plus, as it was put in the recap, "The gift was the pen pal's idea, and he himself was coerced into the plan by someone else." HMMMM. That does seem to be the case and explains a lot. But it also raises a ton of flags. Curious flags. Also, with regards to the confusion re: "the characteristic glitch", I thought that this was a given to be Cal? What since Cal exists in multiple self-creation loops of indeterminate causation, basically a self-creation infinity loop. Assuming he's dimension hopping like he is time hopping, Cal needs to be in each session in order for his "vessel" to be constructed, no?

Ammat The Ankh posted:I was going to make fun of this for coming out before we've even seen Mom and Bro, and how dumb it is that people are role playing as them before we know what they look like, their interests are, or their typing styles. But then I realized how much I want this to be the truth. Is that an okay thing, or am I turning into another one of those headcanon guys? The thing about headcanon is that usually with other comics or whatever it's pretty clear what's going to happen, and the creators don't leave much room for imagination. If comic X wants character Y to be doing action Z, you can be pretty drat sure they're going to establish it. Headcanon just makes people group you into the same category as shippers. With homestuck, poo poo is just all over the place and you make up and assume as much about the story in your head as what Hussie tells you, and then later on he comes back and corrects people. If you're right it's awesome, if you're not oh well and no one gives a poo poo. What I'm trying to say here is if imagining this being Eridan's ancestor drunk in a bar somewhere is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I'm thinking the theory about the "the characteristic glitch" being the ecto-biology thing is wrong. I think it's something more broad, like the idea someone else was bouncing around, where the glitch is actually that something exists in the pre-scratch world that couldn't exist without the post-scratch world. For the trolls, that was the ancestors being created in the post-scratch world. For the kids, it could be Cal's journey.

Well, it's explicitly not the glitch itself, but Scratch calls it LE's calling card. It's more like a signature imposed after his handiwork, we don't actually know what the glitch that marks the session for predation is yet.

This can't be the pre-scratch kid's session, because then Nanna/Grandpa would be a lot older than Strider and LaLonde. Come on, now. (I know it won't be this simple)

Sockser posted:This can't be the pre-scratch kid's session, because then Nanna/Grandpa would be a lot older than Strider and LaLonde. I think this might be in response to me, and to clarify, my crappy theory is that this session may have been BEFORE the kids' and will lead to the guardians 'scratching' their own session, leading to a reset universe (the one we are familiar with.) Which would explain the weird deja vu some of the characters have, and seeming knowledge of the game: they were the original heroes, who have already played/failed/scratched, and set the kids up to play, and this is all happening before the beginning of the comic as we know it. Of course, it's irrelevant, because as has been demonstrated in several instances, time and chronology mean pretty much nothing. But it's a thought.

Time and chronology mean nothing but I'm pretty sure that dependency chains are static. In other words, if the first scratched universe created the kids universe and the kids universe created a second scratched universe then that chain can only proceed in that order. Changes can't propagate up the chain without breaking through the fourth wall. If true this would probably indicate that we are watching the pre scratch kids universe right now prior to the kids existing. But honestly I have no loving idea, this stuff got way too confusing the second I saw J's bunny.

And then Jade's gonna fly the thing outside and make the thing huge again and Jake is gonna be super-freaking out. Well, %KidName% LaLonde's bedroom. She's the one who had the ectobiology lab and 4th wall in the Act 6 opening flash. And Jake, like Jade in the previous session, is the one who "knows stuff", so he wouldn't be the one to freak out anyway.

Hmmm, I'm starting to get the feeling Dad was produced via ectobiology somehow, and we just haven't seen it yet. Maybe Dad's ectobiology happened in the post scratch SBURB session? Also, Hussie is basically just throwing the Condesce/Crocker connection in our face now. I wonder when we'll finally meet the Batterwitch herself and what sort of awesome design she'll have as a baked goods baroness?

I don't know why you guys are worried, everything's going to be OBEY just fine. It's not like The Condesce's ship was in one of the ads or anything! Or like one of the new characters has a helmet that's the shape of the skull of the main villain! Everything is just hunky-dory in post scratch land.

Perhaps, just for fun, Hussie is going to associate each kid with one of the villains of the story. Jake has a Lord English name/computer/color scheme. Jane has a Troll Queen name/computer/weapon. kid-Bro will probably be even more obsessed with Lil Cal than he was in the main timeline. kid-Mom...I dunno. Who is left? Jack Noir? I'm not sure how he'd fit in.

I think the weeaboo-bro thing is very popular because the big joke with Dave/Bro's relationship has always been that Dave has all his crappy swords and sunglasses and stuff, and likes it ironically and thinks it's actually lame, and thinks his bro does too. But his Bro is actually just a massive nerd and is genuinely into collecting lovely jRPG swords, puppets and wearing Kamina shades. In regards to the ectobiology of the new kids/old kids in post-scratch, the ectobiology doesn't necessarily have to be that Jane will, say, create ectoslime clones of the old kids and combine them to get the new ones, in the troll session Karkat didn't even believe in ancestors, he created two sets of paradox clones of the current troll generation then sent one back in time to be the ancestors. I think when ectobiology comes up in this new session Jane is just gonna clone the new kids and send their pardox-clone offspring back in time to be the new guardians in this session. So the process remains the same, except when each set of babies was sent back in time. EDIT: For more Jake English shenanigans, apparently this piece of fanart is one of the posters on his wall. Huh.

You people saying this might be a pre-Scratch session are terribly silly.  The trolls scratched their session, earned themselves a Doc Scratch and their new world was clearly skewed in favour of Lord English's plans. Now, the kids have scratched their session, and what we're seeing is a world skewed in favour of Lord English's plans. I think this, at least, is a straight-forward conclusion.I don't think Jake is evil, though, or that he'll become Lord English or anything (like I've seen people saying on Tumblr, Jesus Christ). I'm just convinced his guardian happens to be Earth's first guardian, like Jade's was. And this first guardian just so happens not to be Bec anymore.
