Yeah he's basically going "Quit loving around with the sylladex" and "What's with all these goddamn pesterlogs?"

closeted republican posted: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. I was just about to post almost this exact thing. uu is the predominantly-male half of the Homestuck fandom. The ones that realize this poo poo is just loving stupid half the time and still they can't stop reading it. and UU is the predominantly-female half. The shipper. The fanartist. The fiction writer. Hussie you beautiful bastard, you made 'fan trolls.'

I was going to post what closeted republican said, except I would've included that uu represents those that see a new update only to find it's more pesterlogs then complain about them without actually reading it. Similar situation to how I started reading Act 5. At first I was like "interesting, some new characters." After a few pages I just wanted the story to progress beyond pages and pages of pesterlogs! What I'm trying to say us uu is Karkat if Karkat was reading Homestuck for the first time. And was into weird horse porn.

So this one's blustering about "killing you all" and dropping the "already here" line. Do you think Lord English needs a host body to manifest in this universe? It would be trivial for him to hop back in the time stream of one of the dead universes and gate through one of the many dimensional transporters the Exiles have lying around. For that matter, what does LE get out of destroying universes? We haven't seen anything that shows him deriving sustenance from the act, except that the Green Sun is his power source. I know the black chess piece people are intrinsically opposed to the creation of life and of more seed-universes, but LE doesn't seem 100 percent aligned with them. It's like he's hijacking their collective death-impulse to do... what, exactly? And why?

Is it just me, or does uu seem to speak in very short, segmented sentences? Or at the very least, he's using periods instead of commas. Not sure if that's important, but I think it's worth mentioning any quirks that are there.

Ahahaha Dante Basco is still reading Homestuck. I honestly didn't think he'd make it into Act 3. I wonder how far he'll go. I mean, if he ends up making it all the way through Act 5 Act 1 then I don't know what would stop him. Edit: Well, maybe Andrew making out with Rufio I guess.

I wasn't expecting a second Homestuck fan parody character. Maybe there will be a troll to represent the kind of fan that reads it for the comedy (or does UU count for that?)

What's hilarious about uu is that, despite telling Dirk to Get On With It, he just directly obstructed Dirk from plugging the window in, which probably would have saved Roxy and prevented whatever plot complication Not-Feferi is going to create.

The way Calmasis is referred to as a "s/he" almost certainly indicates this is a dual personality thing. It'd be sort of interesting if there was a bifurcation gimmick in which Ophiuchus had two classes and two dreamselves.

This weird ancestor troll person is clearly not-Gamzee. He seems like he's trying to act like a combination of the Joker, Hussie's SAW parody, and Karkat, which strikes me as a perfect combination for the Grand Highblood. TOAST7312 fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Mar 1, 2012 |

uu seems to me to be the anti-fandom to UU's fandom. The guy who hates Homestuck out of spite because he keeps getting bugged about it by UU, or maybe the guy who used to read it but came to hate it as it got more complicated and weird and is now just reading it because he feels compelled to. So if UU looks like every fantroll rolled up into one, uu is a pretty ordinary looking human. Calling it now!

The porn bit and some other things makes me think Hussie is combining all the positive-to-neutral traits of the fandom into UU (cheery, loves the material, supportive in bringing new people in, produces generally inoffensive/harmless/sometimes-actually-neat fan material) and the neutral-to-negative traits into uu (weird porn, begrudges others their enjoyment, update-schedule-entitlement, bitches about density/length, keeps reading despite 'hating' it). Once Rufio becomes an actual 'fan' troll we'll have the entire fan base covered.

Actually yeah, that makes a great deal of sense in regard to the Grand Highblood/Gamzee's split persona thing, seeing as UU doesn't make sense as an ancestor parallel by herself. Which makes the Grand Highblood an obsessive/psychotic fan with a genetic pre-disposition towards mass genocide.

uu is making me think of those impatient serial leaders who are sick of the human drama bullshit and want the story to GET THE gently caress ON ALREADY. Which, knowing Hussie, is probably deliberate. I too am leaning on the idea that UU/uu are one person with two personalities, because my gUt tells me so. Lady of the Beech fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Mar 1, 2012 |

Nth-ing the theory of uu and UU being the same individual, potentially. I'm not going to get attached to the theory or anything but it seems to be hinted at, at least. Also, as far as the "fan" trolls theory goes, UU reminds me of Tumbr and uu reminds me of 4chan. Maybe Hussie can introduce a more level-headed SomethingAwful troll.

That's only going to work if he plays at being the level-headed troll while being condescending and superior, despite being marginally better at best.

So... UU/uu types in gray, has multiple personalities that argue with each other, colors his (male version) symbol in a manner strikingly reminiscent of the Hero of Blood symbol, and occupies a position vis a vis the B2 kids similar to the one Karkat did for the B1 kids. We've seen a mysterious Li'l Mindfang and Li'l Condesce--are we watching a mysterious Li'l Sufferer? In the A2 universe, the Cancer symbol only became associated with the Sufferer posthumously. If this is A1 we're looking at, it presumably would have been established by ancestor Karkat and seems to be enshrined as a universal religious icon; Karkat's revolution seems to have succeeded where A2 Sufferer's failed, so UU/uu would need not be a signless outcast the way A2 Sufferer was, but would not have necessarily been assigned the Cancer symbol because that would be kind of like naming your kid Jesus Christ The One True God Jones. The one hitch in this theory is UU's horns; I mean, it would have been funny if Karkat's ancestor had glorious magnificent horns in contrast to his stupid little nubs, but we've already seen that's not the case. Unless... UU wears prosthetic horns? Fantroll horns.

I like the theory, but there's a bit of a problem.UU posted:UU: we are genetically similar, bUt in many ways qUite different. in fact, oUr blood coloUr is not even the same! Seems to imply that they have different bodies. Unless UU is specifically referring to the blood colours of their dreamselves, I guess.

Shortly after, uu chimes in. Dual dreamselves? Anyhow, I don't regard the blood colour issue as conclusive; if UU is basically a self-fantroll, her blood color can be ~whatever she wants it to be~

What's really interesting about UU and uu is that Hussie is taking steps to explicitly interpellate the readers again after blowing up the suggestion box many eons ago. I don't think we're going to gain control of these characters (though we may), but in any case I think it's a fun nod to the ways in which MSPA has always been a very reader-driven experience.
