Twitter reminded me that Roxy was able to see dead pre-scratch Dave, etc, when she was traveling through the dreambubbles. In theory there's no reason this couldn't be a pre-scratch Mindfang from a doomed timeline?

I know this post was incorrect in some respects, but I realised something while reading it. Wouldn't that explain that godtier Karkat with dream Nepeta as well, Roxy stumbling upon a pre-Scratch Signless and Disciple? That would require the Signless to have the same class and aspect as Karkat, but given that Darkleer was implied to have Void powers ancestor-progeny class match-ups don't seem out of the question.

Of course doomed timelines and general shenanigans are likely as well, but it's a thought.

I think my biggest question about dream bubbles is, how many are there? Because it seems to me that there's only one giant dream bubble.

I think the idea is that there are many to start with but as the bubbles intersect and the dead/dreaming interact with each other, it becomes one giant bubble that continues to get bigger. For example, beta Dave's bubble originally just had him in it, but then Tavros came around to bug him. Someone else might have come in to bother Tavros, or Jade had a dream that involved beta Dave, which opened his bubble up to anyone that Jade was already interacting with.

Yeah, I don't understand where UU fits into the equation. Maybe she doesn't.

EDIT: Although UU is presumably outside of the universe loop, I assume that since she is able to communicate to the Scratched kids that there is still a way to travel there. Hopefully that's not how it works for Lord English.

A crazy theory just occurred to me. What if the kids do, in fact, make universe A1? Pretty lovely right, because then the A1 trolls make A2 make B1 make B2 make A1 and it's just a terrible nihilistic loop.

But what if the Troll ancestors aren't the only ones playing? What if UU and her brother are in a separate session? We don't really know why the A1 trolls failed, but it's mentioned their failure was more systemic: they needed their own universe scratched in order to even exist. But maybe UU and her brother don't. Maybe they succeed. Maybe they make a new universe into which all the kids and everyone else can escape, having successfully trapped LE in an endless loop.

Adding to this is that one page about Complacency of the Learned which mentioned that Calmasis (who everyone likes to link to UU) lead 12 fellow disciples (who all ended up dying), and was somehow able to win against Zazzerpan despite having, by all appearances, lost.

It could also be something like the kids clone their Genesis Frog. After all, they pretty much have infinite grist at this point with the B1 Kids + B2 Kids + Trolls pooling their resources together. One would be used for making UU's universe and one for the Troll A1 universe. They use the B1 Skaia to create UU's because it's complete, while the new Battlefield forms A1 universe because it's based on a very incomplete Skaia, thus giving English room to create a major glitch in the A1 SBurb when it comes time for him to do so. However, English is trapped in an infinite loop, and thus can never harm UU's universe and the universes it spawns. John and friends would seed both universes with things like a Matriorb in order to ensure that A1 would have the Trolls in it and to let the Trolls live and grow in UU's session like they were supposed to in A1. It would also let UU's universe create their own new universe via SBurb that's based on the A1 society's morals without English loving everything up for his reasons.

The only flaw with this is that there needs to be a way to redirect English to the A1 universe instead of UU's. Maybe he can't infiltrate UU's universe because it would be made from a "foreign" Skaia?

I'm fairly certain this won't work. There's supposed to be something inside Skaia that will allow the players' Bilious Slick to become a new universe, however because of...something...the B1 kids' universe had a tumor in there instead. So the B1+B2 kids combo would only have one fertile Skaia. Now, the question thus becomes: can one Skaia be used twice?

If I understand your idea correctly (and my point above is wrong), wouldn't the new A1 universe be from the "foreign" Skaia?

If the B1 Skaia is worthless, then why did Jade take it along with her? I'm sure it wasn't just so she would hang out with the few surviving Carapaces and the Sprites on a Prospit ship. For all we know, removing the Tumor could help restart the "universe creation" aspect of Skaia or something in the B2 universe could help restart it. Weirder things have happened in Homestuck. :v:

My hypothetical idea is:

B1 Skaia = UU's universe.
B2 Skaia = A1 universe. Lord English goes into this universe and gets trapped in an endless loop.

Well, I don't remember the exact details of the agreement Jade made with her denizen, but it might have something to do with that.

Thanks. Even if it doesn't play out like how I think it will, I think something to the effect of "Lord English is quarantined from the rest of the universes via something like a time loop or a dud SBurb session he can't have someone Scratch. This will free everybody else (like UU's universe) from him and his influence forever, allowing them to use SBurb like it was originally intended instead of being a tool for LE to infiltrate and destroy universes." is going to be how he'll be "defeated" in the story.

Isn't it simply possible, instead of an infinite loop from the land of stumps and dismay, that the Ancestor's ectobiological creation originated with the trolls from the A2 session in much the same way people theorize that the current B2 kids originated from the B1 ectobiological session?

I mean, their universe was reset but they still exist despite the timeline that created them no longer existing. If the troll's ancestors were similarly split on their meteors to go to both A1 and A2, that effectively creates a stable time loop.

This is what I think occurred. I seem to recall Doc Scratch mentioning the A1 Trolls not having been spawned in their universe. I took this to mean they HAD to scratch their session, as their very existence was a paradox

I was listening to "Watch the Throne" and happened to scroll past the Well Manicured Man's avatar, and noticed something. Try this: turn off the volume on [s] Prince of Heart: Rise Up and synch it up Kanye West and Jay-Z's "Niggas in Paris". This is easiest if you have a Mac, where you can hit the "replay" button on the flash and the "play" button on your keyboard simultaneously.

By way of comparison here, let's say for instance that the sum total of self-perpetuating gimcrackery in Homestuck is more or less equivalent to the Challenger Deeps. Where you are, right now, is like those guys that went down in the Trieste for about twenty minutes, peeked out a window, and declared the whole mishegas "some serious poo poo" before bugging out.

Which is to say if you love the proceedings thus far you are in for a treat. a series of treats. shoveled unrelentingly at your face by some stony faced matron in a hair net who ignores your pleas for mercy. eat up, boyo.

e: Which is all to say it's charming at first but really the story's fascination with ever-increasing levels of recursive complexity gets real old after a certain point. Seriously this poo poo needs slash-and-burn style editing.

Stable time loops and the like are pretty much what make Homestuck what it is. Part of the fun of being a serial reader is seeing what minor detail will actually be a part of a big plot point later on.
