Walliard posted:I'd imagine they probably repel each other like identical magnetic poles specifically to prevent that sort of thing. Plus, players usually live too far apart for that to be practical, with only one exception that we've seen. But really that would be an arbitrary Sburb mechanic and we've seen how well these have worked in not getting broken. Really every time there's a limitation like that this is the go-to MSPA page. Especially Honeybee Professor's face in the end.

That comment about administrative nightmares sounds rather ominous, there isn't another music team drama bomb incoming is there?

Even if there were (which I doubt), I don't see how it could impact a solo album unless it involved Blaker directly. It's more likely to just be Bandcamp awkwardness.

No drama I'm aware of. I think administrative nightmares refers to getting stuff uploaded on bandcamp, finding cover art, etc.

If John and Jade enter this universe before the prototyping starts, I want to see them ready to avoid what went wrong in their game with a set of PERFECTLY GENERIC OBJECTS to stuff into the sprites.

The Furthest Ring exists outside of the normal time and space of any universe, however, so I think they survived the scratch no problem and are just hanging out with Aradia and Sollux. Plus, it'd make no sense from a storytelling perspective to give them God Tier and then erase them from existence.

I just realized something. Dave and Rose are still at the Green Sun with Aradia, and the only kids that are presumably in the post-scratch universe right now are Jade and John. Which also happen to be the two respective guardians who are dead, assuming grandma Jade's dead too. So we'll never get to see either of them meet themselves.

Well, there's not necessarily anything preventing anyone at the Green Sun Pajama Party from entering the Post-Scratch Universe's Sburb session, it seems to be an issue of navigation more than anything else.

I think there's the issue that right now, we the readers don't know the physical location of the new universe relative to the Furthest Ring and the trolls/kids near the Green Sun. Is it a new frog that got brought into existence somehow, copying and rewriting the data from the old one that Jack destroyed? Is it the same frog with its history rewritten (and thus still doomed to be destroyed by Jack)? If so, how do they get themselves into it? I think it's most likely to be the latter option but there's still a lot of ambiguity as to how the actual mechanism of the Scratch works. Edit: Although maybe a new rewritten frog in the location of the Kids' session would make more sense. I don't know, just speculating baselessly right now.

one thing I noticed though. in Jakes note to John he knows quite a bit more about Jade, I would assume he had entered the Medium at least by then, and has not yet John upon completing The Bunny. the bunny wields (a copy of?) Dave's current sword, the WoZ, one of the Quills, and Ahab's Crosshairs. I would hope assume that most of these items could only be acquired after Jade brings their planets into their session. partirly Ahab's Crosshairs so what's up with that? EDIT: OH YEAH we still don't know how Grandpa Harley got into the kid's session in the first place, and there is still the Chekhov's Gun issue with how Jaspers died.

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but maybe it'd jangle on some bad nerves for someone whose life was wrecked by alcoholism? It's a little uncomfortable for someone who actually has an alcoholic mother, yeah. It's still funny but...you can't really laugh for long. I don't know.

Oh darn it, I ruined it, sorry  To make up for that have some foolish fan speculation : At some point in the near future, before the guardian kids enter their session john (our john) will attempt to meet Jane at her house. before he does so he will be intercepted by dad who will suffer a PARENTAL MISUNDERSTANDING. Dad invites john in and offers him some cake before launching into the rules regarding dating his daughter. John will not correct this as he wants to hear dad talk one last time whilst enjoying home baked treats. Tears will be jerked, hard. PHOOsun fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Nov 18, 2011 |
