Judging by the piercings, bracelets, clothing, and hair style pre-scratch Condesce looks like she is really into punk, and as a result I shall now refer to her as "Counter Culture Condesce".

FewtureMD posted:what. Now with each update I just get more and more The Karkat we saw in Sleepwalk had white eyes, so he was dead. Karkat isn't dead. So it must either be a non-Karkat (like his ancestor, but maybe they have completely different roles), or a dead Beta-Karket (perhaps from one of the timelines where Gamzee killed everyone)

at the B2 kids' situation. And re:karkatchat, I just thought that what we saw in Sleepwalk was just a glimpse of Nepeta and Karkat having a dreambubble date ala Beta!John and Vriska

I am pretty loving baffled by these recent events and would like an answer to at least one outstanding question soon. Thank you Hussie in advance. I mean god drat. This poo poo got more twists than the end of an M. Night Shyamalan movie with every update.

Olivia42 posted:You can rule mine out since Dad is neither a kid nor a troll. It was a general request for what we can reasonably assume are the characters with the most songs for. I would be surprised if it was just kids and trolls. They aren't going to say "in addition, we need art for Doc Scratch, Lord English, Hephaestus, Jaspers, PM, WV and Jack." I imagine that for the non-kid and non-troll characters they would ask for permission of artists who made art they have in mind.

I just made the realization that Homestuck is problematic for epileptics and find it strange that I haven't noticed before. Now that I've made the realization, I'm noticing the poo poo out of it. I feel a little guilty now.

dumb brunette posted:Take your pick: I'm guessing it's E. People that get pissy over things like that are very disconnected from the actual comic and don't give a poo poo about it until it introduces a new character for them to add into their alternate universe where Dave is a male harpy and craves John's cock or the comic hints at "canon" shipping (like the recent adventures of Dirk, Jane and Jake). quote:Another thing. I was thinking lately about how the humans are different from the trolls, and yet so similar, and then remembered that the twelve created this universe. Since Skaia is supposed to be the center of creative potential or something like that, it makes me wonder if the world they created is supposed to reflect their creativities. This would explain not only the improbable similarities between the two worlds (speaking the same language, technology that is compatible with each other, being humanoid, etc), but also the differences. But Karkat and co never got to enter their universe, so they couldn't have used Skaia to modify their universe as they see fit. However, my view is that the people that make the Genesis Frog have their hopes, traits and ideals "transplanted" into the frog while they're making it, as the people making it are assumed by the game to be representative of the species as a whole. Notice that humans exhibit traits and ideals that Kanaya (can be really nice, can have an interest in fashion) and Karkat (no blood caste system, can be really angry in order to degrade others but secretly really cares for them, can be really ambitious to the point where they can harm others because of it) have or want. I think if someone like Equius helped make the Genesis Frog, I think things would be a lot different on Earth.

I get a feeling like we're leading up to the end of 6.2 here. The rhythm of the ends of acts is that a bunch of things are established as being about to happen, then they all happen in a big animation that raises more questions than it answers, and then we get an intermission. With Jane about to enter the Medium, Jake in possession of his uranium, and Roxy staring down the barrel of a loaded dead troll, all we've got now is for Dirk to incite the finale.

I'm interested in the second intermission if only to see the dream bubble shenanigans Rose, Dave and the trolls get into and to see Rose's reaction to "meeting" Roxy.

YggiDee posted:...I just want to know if WV's okay You and me, both. And everybody, just wait till Act 6.5.1, when all these trolls will be introduced and we get to follow all their adventures and exploits  Alternatively, we'll only learn about a few of them, like maybe four patrons, one for each kid, plus UU (unless she's one too). The others will just be shown briefly so we know what they were like. I seriously doubt he'd do a redux of 5.1 as anything other than a joke.

Seoinin posted:I really, really hope it ain't a fresh passel of douchebags we're looking at here. Because while I can muster some sort of interest in troll ancestor kids, the prospect of still more new characters? Not for nothing are they starting off dead, I think. If Act 6 is paralleling the structure of the first 5 acts, then 6.5 will feature the introduction of players from an earlier session. However, we've already met players from an earlier session, namely the B1 kids. It's hard to say until we see any of them but UU actually doing anything, but I doubt that they'll be taking direct influence on the story. The fact that they're all dead suggests to me that it's going to be less a matter of seeing what they do as it is discovering what they've already done and what that means. (This is in general, as there may be one or two or four exceptions.) If they've still got an active role to play, then there would be no point in their being dead, y'know? Death isn't as final in Homestuck as it might be elsewhere, but it's not totally meaningless.

I was expecting Dirk to plug in the window to give us a quick fade-out like with Jake's encounter. But welp! It looks like the Condesce was a bit of a fireplug even before Scratch's meddling. closeted republican posted:I think if someone like Equius helped make the Genesis Frog, I think things would be a lot different on Earth.

I'm thinking that the Empress has always been violent and an rear end. Her landing before Feferi in the post-scratch universe allowed her to create the violent shithole her A1 self would've wanted, along with making the troll kids wear black T-shirt and dark grey pants she wore in the A1 universe.
