The problem is that the Green Sun exists in the furthest ring, and we don't know for sure that everything doesn't just float out there normally. In a big floaty void-like place where time and space work differently, it's hard to guess exactly where gravity lies in that equation. Edit: VVV I was responding to Bongo Bill's post actually, but I forgot for a moment that reply is not the same as quote. Midnight Raider fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Mar 1, 2012 |

But dreamselves also fly while they're in the session. All the time.

White eyes have been edited onto lil' Batterwitch. I know that the mechanics of dream bubbles haven't been completely explored, but maybe these new trolls "escaped" the scratch by being dead? Their deaths could have been what pushed the others into the decision to cause a scratch.

Given that dreamselves can fly unassisted, and that everyone it's their dreamselves that become their God Tier selves, then yes I assume all God Tiers can fly.

I believe Hussie stated somewhere unequivocally that all God-Tiers can fly, wings or no, but I may be mistaken. Rare is the time when things in Homestuck are stated overtly as fact when they are in fact true.

I have finally caught up with Homestuck after giving it a break a while back. What's all this A1 B2 lingo etc. y'all kids have taken to using, I'm presuming its to give proper designation to the absolute embarrassment of alternate realities that are involved at this point, but which letternumbers refer to which?

A1 - Original Alternia (that got Scratched) A2 - Post-Scratch Alternia (this is where the Trolls are from) B1 - Earth (John, Jade, Rose, Dave) B2 - Post-Scratch Earth (Jane, Roxy, Dirk, Jake)

They're certainly not going all Greecian/Roman Gods on us. If you dig back into ancient mythical figures I think you'll find that the most common physical signifiers are either 1) prodigious facial hair or 2) animal heads. Jade's got the animal head thing on the lock, but it's clear the other three kids need to grow impressive beards.

Karkat didn't get to fly because he never went to sleep and woke up on Prospit until basically a second before Jack destroyed it and killed his dreamself.

So I wouldn't discount this at all.

I was expecting her brother to be Cetus. I wonder if they're the same person. You know, the androgyny thing. One's a sycophant and the other's an rear end in a top hat.

I'm not sure but I think the t's are hands/arms flipping the bird, the u's are closed eyes (happy UU used them like this a few times) and the m is... a nose? horns? something to do with Jigsaw of Saw fame? I'm not sure. edit: well poo poo

Hm. Well put. So now we've got a UU and a uu. The latter has an Ophiuchus astrological symbol in dark gray and red, while the former's symbol is Caduceus in light gray and glowing green. Both their names refer to shadows; one is "Uranian" which could mean genderless or could mean heavenly (in reference to Uranus, chief of the protogenoi and embodiment of heaven), while the other is "Undying," which is certainly ominous, especially in light of all the spooky ghosts we've seen around here lately. UU speaks with green text suggesting a blood color that corresponds to the one that Karkat would likely have had if he weren't a red-blooded mutant, whereas uu uses a shade of gray, much like Karkat did to hide the color of his blood; the red in his symbol matches Karkat's color, as well. Both have ties to him, in a twist that is sure to be of paramount significance in due time. Parallel personalities are a possibility and are not unprecedented.

Oh wait baseless speculation time- I'm going to guess that uu's horns will be ~unique~ like so many of the lovely fantrolls, and be two different sets. One set will make the U shape, like Tavros' but more rounded, the other will be a pair of ~'s, just below or behind the first or something.

Also, note, uu is not 'pestering' like a human, 'trolling' like a troll, or 'cheering' like UU, but 'jeering'. cheering/jeering, another opposite.

Theory: UU represents the fangirl side of the Homestuck fandom, while uu represents the fandom that that reads it for the plot and don't care much for things like shipping.
