But if it is the same universe frog, and Bilious Slick is thus still cancerous, one would then theorize that any new session resulting from it would still be doomed to fail due to that same cancer poisoning the session, wouldn't it? How can that be the case if the whole point of this B2 universe is to finally be the successful session?

(Don't get me wrong I do agree that it's the same universe frog post-scratch and is still doomed to destruction by red miles, I would just like to know the how and why of the scenario that the old session was infected and doomed while supposedly this session in the same cancerous universe is meant to be successful. What makes this session different?)

Well the "cancer" of Billious Slick was the generation of a session in which Jack flipped out and got prototyped with a first guardian. Dog-tier Jade is probably more than strong enough to take out any other such opponent with ease solo.

John's original Doctor Ragnarok title was achieved after he kinda blew up most of LOWAS.

Having now blown up the entire universe, his title is now Revenge of Doctor Ragnarok.

Hahaha, I guess this had to happen. When you get to the part of the story where everyone finally meets, not much to do but go "gently caress it" and throw out pain-in-the-rear end dialogue restrictions.

All direct conversation was done via an elaborate system of communication centrally based around body language, rap battles and strifes.

Aww, of course the dialoglog wouldn't be longer than that. Three feet, three nanoseconds, three words. John's still talking pretty fast.

Think of them like phonetically spelled accents.

Also it feels like over time Homestuck has sort of developed a little theme about shedding and overcoming video game abstractions. I predict that by the time Homestuck ends all the main characters will have transcended all the video game rules that bind them to things like chatlogs, sylladexes, and the like. I think it would be a fitting ending.

He should also wrap up all romantic loose ends just to make the shippers weep bitter tears as their sandbox gets taken away from them. Not that doing so would stop them, but the rattles being thrown out of prams when he chooses something other than John/Karkat would be epic.

No, before he destroys the shippers he should harness them: "Dear fans, whoever kidnaps the President for me gets to pick two characters. On the last page of Homestuck, I will make them kiss, and it will be canon. Forever."
I'm pretty sure he would become Supreme Emperor of Earth within the afternoon.

hussie's god tier is prince of meta-plot devices.

Also, the Hope and Doom symbols are unexpectedly fantastic; way more interesting than the Life or Mind designs while still maintaining a level of simplicity. Hopefully Rage will be something in this vein; Blood is assumably just going to be a droplet (with maybe a reference to the Heart symbol if we're lucky?)

It would be like a massive version of "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World" except with kidnapping the President instead of finding buried treasure. 1000 kidnappers all getting in each other's way and bungling everyone else's plans. Ah, the hijinks that would ensue.

I realize this is mostly a gag, since the kids have never talked in person in the story until now, but I wouldn't mind them unlocking new achievements that give them more abilities that make them more, well, god-like.

I'm assuming this because it's also another kick-to-the-shins for Nepeta and Karkat shippers.
