HelloIAmYourHeart posted:Are Dave and Karkat's red the same color? Also, I think it shows great growth for Karkat to use red with himself. I mean, yeah, everyone else knows, but he held onto that gray with a deathgrip. Not quite. Karkat is using full #FF0000 here; Dave's is a bit darker and less saturated.

They're marginally differed shades of red; Karkat's is pure 255 red while Dave's text is slightly duller. The hex codes for their colours are #ff0000 and #e00707 respectively.

Midnight Raider posted:In Aradia's case, she was dead for less than a year. However, it seems her spirit didn't actually move on, to a dreambubble OR the conventional afterlife, and instead lingered. It seems that lingering as a ghost may really do something to your personality. Perhaps the truth is that a part of your soul DOES move on, but a mere shadow of yourself remains, a shade of negative feelings that can't properly move on. What's stranger is how she seemed to maintain some of this when she became a sprite, which supposedly should have brought her back in the same manner Nanna was, but seemed to maintain (some) of the lack of energy and emotion she previously had in life.

Every other resurrected sprite was prototyped with a corpse, and so come back as a copy of that person. Aradiasprite was prototyped with a ghost, and so came back as a copy of a ghost. It seems that the sprite system only animates the inanimate (Calsprite, every Corpsesprite) if only so they can perform their function. Much like Davesprite, Aradia was already animate, and so remained mostly unchanged. ribbit.

Would there have been different results if Aradia's corpse had been prototyped, instead of her ghost? e: everybody's beating me to the punch today

Anyone getting antsy to see what the latest hurdle is for the Karkat/Terezi relationship? They strike me as having one of the most by-the-book relationships of the comic. Main Guy/Main Girl (of their session), destined to have as many bumps in their will-they-or-won't-they love story as the plot needs, and certainly for as long as the plot lasts. I mean on the other hand they're adolescents which is the right time for these problems to emerge, but still. Hearing that they're having trouble after their little rooftop get-together gave me the same feeling as when you watch a sequel and the main couple from the last film start having problem since their love-life needs to be made interesting again to squeeze plot out of. Do all trolls grow at the same rate? The highbloods supposedly live much longer than the lowbloods, but that might just translate to them living longer once they reach adulthood. It'd be weird/kind of sad if the different casts of trolls' lifespans started pulling them apart. *edit* gonna go with the observation of a lot of "guy loses his girl to some other guy" film posters in Karkat's room foreshadows that Terezi's all over Dave at least up to this point, leaving Karkat resentful. ...This isn't shipping, is it?

This kinda gets me wondering about how long Karkat's got. I think it was mentioned that Aradia/Handmaid might live to about two dozen sweeps or so given a natural lifespan, so she'd die pretty young by modern human standards. Of course, Aradia went God Tier and the Handmaid had her lifespan increased so she could work for Doc Scratch, so it's not like it matters for either of them.

It's implied that Karkat would be a nice, just-below-medium shade of green if he weren't a mutant. Though he is probably at an elevated risk for that troll disease called arterial hypertension.

Aw, come on, Dave, you're making a SBaHJ version of Can Town. You could smile a little. \/ You realize that if they actually succeed in making a new world, it'll probably include a Squirrel Zone in its chess boards. It'll just be one of those obscure rules that normal players don't give a poo poo about, like En Passant. Bobulus fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Mar 14, 2012 |

Oh hey, looks like my speculation about the Karkat/Terezi hurdle was exactly on time. Nice to see the predictions of a mellower Karkat are coming true. That's probably the tightest turnaround we've seen yet on Karkat being mad at himself to Karkat figuring out what he has to do. I hope he patches things up with Terezi. He clearly means well, and he's probably right that his constant angry outbursts were... well, they worked for a while, but it's still pretty childish and you can't just keep doing that forever (especially with the weirdness of troll romance). I guess we might actually see quite a lot of development over these three years.

On another note: If this were any other story, these characters would have spent the three years training or preparing for the fight ahead of them. *cough* hyperbolic time chamber *cough* But, no, this is Homestuck, and so they spend a year making Can Town and obsessing about relationships.

It's... an endless loop, but it's not a closed loop. This Karkat will eventually get irritated and leave the conversation and try to calm down and do other things. But in the process will create a new irritated Future Karkat, who will initiate a conversation with a new Past Karkat. And this will go on forever, or paradoxically has always been going on.

Sounds like Karkat's aiming for the same thing with Terezi, and Terezi's not entirely on board with the idea. I was just about to post this--sounds like it's another sort of ancestor call-back. Although with the Sufferer and Disciple I kind of took that 'transcending' line less to mean 'they're in all four quadrants simultaneously!' and more to mean that they realized just how bullshit the idea of quadrants was and didn't subscribe to it. I think in trying to force the former in some hasty troll romcom ideal, Karkat might just come to the same conclusion they did. Basically, dude needs to stop compartmentalizing poo poo like a spergy teenager; otherwise it's going to be a long three years for him.

I mean, from the sound of things, everyone else is just kind of tired of listening to his rants, so who else is there? Future Karkat is honestly the most shafted party in this arrangement because Past Karkat really is a dumb fucker using him as a sounding board and he's only doing it because he kinda has to or else it'll cause a split timeline. But it's hard to be sympathetic with him because he's just gonna end up doing the same goddamn thing do an even futurer Karkat later.

Captain Oblivious posted:The Alpha timeline is not paradoxical. Nothing contradicts. The key point is that in a world where time travel exists, something happening because it happened is not paradoxical. Any other outcome is paradoxical. Actually, I think that John died simply because he was in a beta timeline. John dying isn't what hosed up that timeline: Dave prototyping Cal is what hosed it up. If Cal is Calsprite, he can't be used to make Doc Scratch, thus creating a contradiction.

I don't think there actually is a concrete "this is where it all went to poo poo" point. Davesprite is a part of the Alpha timeline, therefor that failed Beta timeline was actually required to fail for the timeline to remain stable. Its Beta-ness was Alpha.
