Well there goes my hopes of UU being the Handmaiden unless she majyyked her horns into a different shape or it's a pre-Scratch version or something. I should probably stop bending myself into a knot for this speculation...

So, a few things I did note about UU's appearance... The Sufferer's Sign didn't exist until after his death, and it was always grey--and taken from the execution tool used to kill him in the first place. Plus, this half-cuff version was a bright red. I think we can either assume Hussie's going to retcon a few details, or this is not some kind of Mobius Reacharound and that we're talking to a young Sufferer. Plus, while we may assume the horns are "Stupid Fantroll Stuff" (And they are), they also are shaped vaguely like the "Snakes" on her own Sign, put upside-down. So yeah, UU's probably from the next universe, however that works out.

So, I'm not entirely sure why, but I've found myself watching end of act 5 reaction videos on youtube. I get a genuine kick out of watching people get amazed at the various landmines in the flash (WV getting impaled, exiles dying, god tier jade/rose/dave, sollux, etc) and the various emotions the viewers go through. One of my favorites was of two girls who were pretty much completely silent the entire time because they were so amazed and absorbed with what was happening.

I'm still kind of weirded out by how UU looks like she's typing in an Exile terminal, though. Terezi said in a pesterlog back in Act 4 that Exiles are supposed to rebuild society in order to eventually seed another session. So I thought maybe it was still Earth, but in the far future. But then, how do trolls get there? And more importantly, why? Plus UU's terminal, from what we've seen at least, doesn't seem to work like the other exile terminals. Guess there's not enough information either way though. Edit: Oh yeah, I just remembered that UU said that she was in another universe entirely.

Well, we've already had hints (during the intermission) that Kanaya might eventually be able to get her hands on another matriorb through alchemy shenanigans or something. That would explain how they could create a universe with trolls in it: go through the door at the end of the game, bring the matriorb, hatch it somewhere. End of Act 7 Act 1.

Finally giving this a try.. holy crap. I'm only on chapter 9 out of 22 in Problem Sleuth. This is pretty funny, but it's going to be a while before I can catch up to the current story I guess. I'll prolly go straight from PS to the current story so I can see things as they unfold. Cool and unique idea for a web comic.

Yeah, I was just trying to think of why trolls would be on post scratch Earth instead of the new universe. But that's kind of a moot point unless UU is lying (I don't really buy into the "UU is evil" thing. Especially not after this update) or misinformed about not being in the same universe. (she almost definitely is misinformed about things, but probably not about this)

Homestuck is a very different beast, by the way - it may be jarring at first if you go into it with expectations formed from Problem Sleuth. But it's very worth sticking with even if you're not entirely in love with the first act's inventory system jokes. (I was, though.)

Corkscrew horns are not unprecedented. UU's lusus found: Fittingly enough, this fellow is called a markhor, which is apparently derived from a Persian word meaning "snake" due to the horns. (I spent some time googling for markhor images since I didn't like the ones on the Wikipedia article and eventually settled on this one because of the interesting clone brush disaster. While doing so I ran across a shitload of pictures of hunters with dead ones. There's only a few thousand of these left, guys, what the hell.)

quote:UU: thoUgh i'm sUre i've said, he isn't qUite my brother. we are related, yes, bUt not in the way hUman brothers and sisters are. This makes me think that either UU or her brother will turn out to be a lime blood, with the other sibling red like Karkat. Didn't Hussie say that lime bloods occupy the "slot" in the hemospectrum that Karkat would have occupied if he weren't a freakish mutant? Which could account for "genetic similarity" between UU and her sibling if one were red-blooded and one were lime-blooded. Also thinking that UU and her brother are going to play up the yin-yang thing even more, with one being the good/helpful sibling and one being the bad/antagonistic sibling. We already have UU as a Prospit dreamer and bro-UU as a Derse dreamer. Not to mention that the Suffer's symbol can be vaguely interpreted as a sort of yin-yang. I'm with whoever said that UU's bro will have the other half of the symbol. ~theories~

Which could account for "genetic similarity" between UU and her sibling if one were red-blooded and one were lime-blooded. I think when he was saying "the slot Karkat should have occupied" he was talking more in that the troll session had members ranging the whole haemospectrum, except for a lime blood, with the variance in their blood colour being a consistent numerical difference on the hex codes, aside from Karkat, and that lime would be the one colour left, rather than any kind of genetic similarity between the lime blood and Karkat's mutation. I'm pretty sure UU is a lime blood though, if just for the "limey" pun that is inevitable. I'm personally still working on the theory that Calmasis is referencing UU, and the gender ambiguity is because while she is a girl, her alternate personality is her "brother", who is male. Or something. It's not very well thought out yet.

Finally, what so many fans have wanted for ages, a fan troll in the canon. Golly, I does enjoy that UU. I wonder, like pretty much everyone else here, who her brother is. Is it Ms. Paint? No... Is it Secret Wizard? No! Is Henry, the mild mannered janitor?

I want to live out the rest of my life blissfully unaware that somewhere out there, somebody has written an erotic fanfic about UU writing erotic fanfiction. Then I look at the Homestuck fandom, and my hopes are dashed. I kind of like the thought that Dirk's role as Prince of Heart is to sink every ship, though. The coolest guy around happens to be a walking romantic apocalypse.

At this point I'm really hoping for Karkat or the other trolls to enter the new session and start harassing UU because of how nice she is and all of the references to troll society she drops. It's be awesome just to see if UU can keep her cool under Karkat being a huge jackass to her or UU be amazed that there were other trolls before hers came into being.
