Yeah, I was thinking psycho Feferi for the longest time before this, raised by the Batterwitch instead, but I guess she could have had a sister too; didn't think on that. Also, wasn't expecting Roxy to be the one getting shafted first. Not gonna lie, I thought that would be Jane or Rose. Go figure.

Haha wow, we may actually get to see the A1 Trolls' sprites after all. I doubt they will turn out to be "actual characters" with introductions and everything, but it's a neat development.

I'm putting my money on them being A1 trolls. Wild theory: I'm guessing that in A1, the class system was/is backwards. That's why A1 Condensce looks ragamuffin-like (compared to A2 Feferi, who's dressed all classy). Also, it would explain the sufferer symbol on Li'l Mindfang, as in A1, Karkat's ancestor would be the Emperor. I know it technically doesn't work out perfectly, what with Karkat's blood not being on the hemospectrum and all, but hey, that's why it's a wild theory.

^^I think that would be pretty untenable, what with the wild difference in lifespans.Nate RFB posted:I doubt they will turn out to be "actual characters" with introductions and everything Jeeze, I hope they won't. I mean, as much as I'd love some more background information and everything, I don't think I could stand another 12 (13?) intros. I do like that they're showing up though. I hope we get to see li'l Rufio!

I think I've got it. Dead A1 dream bubble Condesce wants to hold Roxy there to keep the window in that spot for as long as possible. It normally isn't accessible directly from a dream bubble, after all. When Dirk plugs it back in, she will jump through. After entering the waking world, dead A1 dream bubble Condesce will become every Condesce to appear in the story due to Homestuck continuity shenanigans. She's immortal because she was dead all along!  GCat is just helping Roxy to become part of the origin story of her own antagonist.

Only problem with your theory Thundarr is that the Condesce presently on Derse has pupils.

Maybe this section of the void is dead troll storage from Alternia after Feferi's guardian wiped them out? But no, there were only ever like two trolls of Feferi's blood type - her and the Empress. Anyway thank crap something is happening again. I am an entitled, serial reading piece of poo poo and I demand to be catered to

Assuming no one else is going to be introduced that isn't, relatively speaking, "important" to the story, who else can we expect to see? Mindfang and the Condesce, OK. Probably the Sufferer, maybe Redglare? E: vvv I mean of the A1 Trolls! As much as we are dying to see A1 Darkleer I don't really expect him to be introduced like this. Maybe each B2 kid will have their own, patron dead A1 Troll. God, this comic. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Feb 29, 2012 |

I hope since it's the music team and Hussie going through the submissions that the quality of the album is a little better than Land of Fans and Music. That album had some really great tracks but others were not exactly great.

So is it just me, or does the idea that fenestrated walls pass through Dream Bubbles indicate a possible "Death's Door" scenario similar to that of Problem Sleuth? Because if so, when the wall gets plugged in again, it is possible for the two of them to fall through; effectively bringing a dead player back into a living world...

Reasonable amount. Art deadline is March 3rd I think, so probably the week after that sometime.

Think Hussie said that it was supposed to play into the insect theme the trolls have: they call their young "wigglers," live in "hives," and when they ascend to the God Tiers it's like a final stage of metamorphosis.

Wings are associated with mythical troll figures so I guess it's just a special way of saying "yeah, literal gods".

Makes me wonder if human God Tiers are going to all have unassisted flight, or if that's just gonna be John's thing. Superheroes are probably the closest thing modern western civilization has to the sort of demigod-mythos the troll-wings-thing is pulling from. They're certainly not going all Greecian/Roman Gods on us.
