pumpinglemma posted:This theory has come up before and I'm pretty sure it isn't possible. UU has said she has a different blood colour to uu, and UU is female while uu is male. I guess the latter isn't totally conclusive as one of them could be trans (if that's even a thing with trolls), but the former seems to be. I think the two body dreamself interpretation (where UU and uu have separate bodies but UU is awake only when uu is asleep and vice versa) sounds more likely. Spoiler tags aren't necessary, there's nothing here from the flash. Anyway, why isn't that possible? This is a personality who represents the fandom, writing their fanfic and drawing fanart, why do you assume they are telling the truth about their nature and not trying to be something they aren't? Uranian was already caught trying to fudge the truth and redirecting things. poo poo, what evidence is there that they are even a troll? Those horns? UranianUmbra likes cosplay.

I think that the whole Jake = Lord English thing is actually not going to be literal. So far most of the kids still have no clue who the gently caress Lord English is, but the new kids, being Nobles, are probably going to get used to being called "Lord Crocker" "Lord Lalonde" etc. So when someone finally tells them that the greatest threat to the world, the true villain they must face, is "Lord English" then of course they're going to think that they're talking about Jake. So that's a lot of drama and confusion that can happen. "We're here to kill Lord English!" "What has Jake done wrong?!"

Yeah, however it plays out it'll be a bit tricky. What's clear is that LE can't get into this universe in his normal fashion, since it's been strongly implied there's no Doc Scratch. So unless Lord English has a second, more animalistic form (Ganon/Ganondorf style) and the kids and trolls allow the Alpha universe to "end" to summon him via Gcat, LE might show up either through some shenanigans regarding Jake (either Jake is him, or Jake is being groomed to serve, Scratch-like, as his conduit?) or LE will use his takeover of Hussie's author mansion as a way to pass between universes. Or even more likely, some combination of these options.

It just goes right back to the whole theme of bifurcation. Universe B was meant to create one unified session all along!

Remember that the only reason Jack Noir was able to go murdernuts was that he had John's rabbit--that Jake made--to kill the Black Queen.

But that's because LE enters a universe at a particular point (usually, Scratch claimed, the end of a universe) and then time-travels to any other point in that universe's history. He's already here even though he technically always precedes his own arrival. If there's any weakness he has where those "glitches in spacetime" might catch him, I'd say it's that he requires an entry point. If his entry point is always at the moment a universe dies, then it seems no one can really stop him. If it occurs at some other time, in some other circumstance, however...

Well that sure as a cool as hell flash. Still haven't had much time to listen to this new album but I bought it after listening to 1.25 songs. Orchid Horror is something truly spectacular. Can't wait to hear the rest! I also love that Rain was used from Medium; my favorite from that album by a lot.

So if lighter-than-air helium pods are the thing for this planet, what are the other Noble Gases going to do on the other worlds? From my memory of chemistry in School I can only think of lighting and lasers as the possible applications of the others, so I'm not really sure how they would have a meaningful stamp on the planets considering we've only just seen LOCAH and already we've had a light beam puzzle.

Isn't LOPAN after LOCAH? I thought the order on the tablet was LOCAH, LOPAN, LOTAK, LOMAX, which would make LOPAN Dirk's since he's Jane's server, and if he's successful in making Jake his server, make LOTAK Jake's.

It's possible Dirk won't enter next. Jane enters via Dirk Roxy enters via Jake Dirk enters via Roxy Jake enters via Jane I don't think it matters as long as the chain is complete, as showcased by the Red/Blue team nonsense.

I could absolutely believe this, which is why I said "if Dirk is successful." Maybe they're going to need to speed Roxy into the game instead since apparently everything where she's at is on fire and gently caress up the order completely, I could believe that too.

Maybe they were all intended to be the worlds of who we expected, but then Dirk's plan to make Jake be his server caused everyone to mix up? If Dirk has pyramids and neon then I'm just imagining him in the Hunk Rump Nightclub having to resist temptations and save himself for Jake, followed by THIS IS STUPID.

While the noble gasses thing is a great notion, I'm having doubts that all the worlds are also going to be crypt-variants. I got the impression that the Crypts aspect of Jane's world had to do with her personal quest as a Maid of Life involving reviving a dead planet: there's even a rainbow moss thing you can click that even has some message about the planet wanting to be lush and fertile, but nothing can survive on the surface.

It remains to be seen how her aspect will affect all of that, but one of the tablets explicitly said that all of the players will find their consorts long-dead: quote:The Nobles will arrive one by one. First to LOCAH, then to LOPAN. Then comes LOTAK, followed by LOMAX. One by one, the Nobles will come, only to discover the remains of those who worshipped them and paved the way for their arrival. Of course that doesn't mean the other lands might not be better equipped with vegetation and smaller wildlife. We'll see.

Yeeah, I mean now that I'm looking at it a day after the fact, it's hardly comparable to even the kind of crap you'd find in LucasArts games. (I'm looking at you, Curse of Monkey Island quicksand puzzle  )I'll be honest though; I just put the cake down because I figured it was the last thing Jane needed in her inventory, not because I knew the scarabs would eat it. You can tell I'm really good at this kind of thing
