I'm starting to gain faith in some scratch-session prototypings. I'd be pretty psyched to see Glassessprite and Frigglishsprite. Maybe Jane will get Dadsprite! A man can dream.

We're not going to get Frigglishsprite because Jaspers is going to get appearified back to the old timeline. More accurately, we already have seen that sprite.

I clearly just want to be a good friend and bring all my AMAZING FRIENDLINESS to bear on your problems.
I think we are going to see Johnsprite (there is a taxidermy of B2!John in her house, it has to happen), ARsprite, and maybe maaaaybe Rosesprite. And somebody's probably going to end up protoyping him or herself.

And hopefully, hopefully not GCatsprite.


Only of Johnsprite am I certain.

Johnsprite can materialize gavels to use as weapons, as a callback to his role as a judge on Night Court and his B1 universe's self's hammertype Strife Specibus.

I have a growing suspicion that Roxy and Dirk are not just alternate versions of Mom and Bro, but actually the same people, who did/will do time/universe travel somehow, probably by the same means as this cat will. And if that's so, then it's probably also true for Jane and Jake.

Or have I misunderstood the implications and everybody knew this all along except for me?

The thing about this is that we've seen some glimpses of their pre-scratch selves growing up, and they led different lives. And Nannasprite recalls growing up with b1 Jake, which she didn't here.

Whose selves? My memory is spotty. It might be that it turned out differently for the Prospit dreamers than the Derse dreamers.

Ah, I see. That doesn't, however, preclude the possibility that Dirk and Roxy had a different experience. Though it's seeming kind of unlikely.

Poor Jaspers. At least he lived a few good years. And then came back as a princess tentacle ghost.

Also, this line..

Makes me wonder if there's just something off about her property and it's grounds which would make it hard to dig through, or if Earth has taken on Alternia's properties for the dead rising. :zombie:

As much symmetry as we've seen in this story, I can't help but think that stuffed John's maiming might just end up being a callback to the previous prototyping, Jack, Vriska, etc, and might only be a tease that Hussie ends up not going all the way with.

The lack of prototyping towers may be a hint that there might be no prototyping at all, as tragic as that would be. (Although it could also be that they only sprout at first-prototyping, which could be an indirect way to hide the number of players who are actually going to participate this session.)

It could also have something to do with Betty Crocker/The Condesce's influence, what with her having (presumably) taken the spot of Black Queen, and her company/empire being the ones to release Sburb instead of SkaiaNet.

There was no Skaianet for Sgrub, so i doubt its a necessity.

I think Sbrub is consistent in every session. The only thing that changes is how it's distributed to the players (Sollux making SGrub from the Frog Temple ruins, Skaianet distributing it to ensure the kids will get it, etc). I like to imagine that the "distribution" (ie the Sburb disks, the Sgrub insects) only exist to tell paradox space to create the session and nothing else because of how consistent every session is, but that's just fan-theory.

It seems to me that its just the "coincidental inevitability" that scratch(I think) mentioned before. It all lines up perfectly because its supposed to.

Everybody is an antagonist in Homestuck. I tried to devise a rule for what Homestuck villains do, and couldn't pick one that didn't also condemn at least one of the good trolls.

I'm with most everyone in thinking that we're going to have an ARsprite.

Okay, intentionally destroys universes.

Also, for some reason I feel like Roxy's cruxite object is going to be a window, and breaking it with mutini will be how she enters the medium.

Also also, if there ends up being a cat tier, it'll be Roxy. Dog tier hero of space and cat tier hero of void.

I wonder if the lack of prototyping towers (if it actually means anything) just means that nothing will be prototyped but the sprite, so if GCat was prototyped it wouldn't actually matter. Not like the ring would affect the Condesce anyways. I wonder what a baseline imp looks like.
