I would kind of love it if Lord English wasn't out for blood and just stopped by to ruin everyone's day. Like, he just smacks Ms. Paint and laughs and that's all he does to her. ...and what happened to the rest of the Prospit exiles that were on Earth anyway? I would really love to see a scene where Hussie just strolls up through a fourth wall at the last moments before B1 gets wrecked by the red miles and picks up Ms. Paint but leaves behind everyone else.

I think LE is powered independently of the Green Sun. Green Sun things have the green electricity poo poo going on but LE, the Condesce, and the Handmaid all have rainbow seizure aura action.

The Green Sun is literally the top of Lord English's pimp cane. I'd wager that he has whatever powers he wants to have, regardless of where he happens to be. He's still going to get shanked to death by Slick though.

True enough If there's any such thing as a glitch that can bypass his immortality, it's a being that killed his own universe, while inside said universe, not dying along with it. Which means that Slick is going to show LE his stabs, and that ends LE for that universe, right up until the cycle restarts again. Because it would be totally fitting if the guy who's this big ominous, omnipotent villain, winds up getting offed by a half-dead thug with a knife

Jade still has her green sun powers, that whole thing about being between universes was just in regards to instantaneous/light speed teleportation. All the rest of her powers seem to be intact by how she Becphases through this wall.

Since it has been brought up a few times in the last few days: I have been taking the 'ancestors are basically genetic copies ala Clone High' aspect of the story for fact whilst reading the posts here. A few other friends I like to discuss Homestuck with have argued with me on that 'fact'. Does anyone have a tumbler/formspring post by Hussie for that tidbit of info?

It's not been made clear if A2-Vriska/A1-??? and A2-Mindfang/A1-Aranea were genetically identical, seperately made grubs, or just genetically similar, separately made grubs. They certainly look very similar, but that the difference in ages and the simplicity of the art means that this doesn't tell us a whole lot. It's probably a distinction that doesn't matter a whole lot. Bobulus fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Mar 31, 2012 |

My guess is that Aranea is mostly Vriska but with some Kanaya and/or Terezi thrown in, and Meenah is mostly Feferi but with some Eridan thrown in. Granted genetics only plays a small part in how a person turns out personality-wise, but with the swapped-around titles it would seem a bit odd if they were genetically identical.

The argument i'm getting from this forum of Homestuck readers is that the B2 kids are genetically very similar to the B1 kids, however their elements and classes are all differing. Where as Aranea and Vriska ended up with the same element, but a different class. After not accepting my "Because it is an 8 player session" explanation, I attempted to reason with them about the Ancestors being genetic clones. When I read Hivebent many moons ago I had initially assumed Karkat's Carcinogenetics lab had only 12 self contained ecto-vials. It does seem as though Hussie has made some of these aforementioned tumbler/formspring posts regarding this, and I'd like to read them if possible.

I know Hussie has said that Vriska and Mindfang were genetically identical, in one of his posts talking about her, citing it as a reasonable assumption that Mindfang shows what Vriska would be like if she had grown up in the terrible pirate days. Maybe it was during a post talking about the early Mindfang journal updates. I just can't for the life of me find the post in question.

Scratches work by swapping which ectobabies are sent to the coordinates the players are supposed to arrive at. Because of that, identical clones don't make a lot of sense, because swapping a baby Vriska with an identical clone of baby Vriska wouldn't do poo poo to alter history or the session.
