Also, Hero of Time? Wasn't expecting that.

Calliope mentioned that her brother is a Hero of Time in the discussion with Roxy a few pages back. He's apparently the Master Class version of it (like Calliope being the Muse of Space.)

I'm assuming Hero is referring to his class title. Yes, it was revealed that Time was his element, but Calliope didn't reveal his class at the time.

"Hero" is a generic term for a class. It's not his actual title cuz it doesn't fit the one-syllable guidelines.

Seriously, though, I really like how whereas before we were practically taunted with everything we didn't know about English, now we're taunted with what we do know.

Not quite. Whenever vriska used to say 'he's already here', she was talking about Jack.

Hussie is definitely playing with our minds here. Remember when the comic made it look like Jake was gonna be lord English? LOOK HIS NAME IS ENGLISH, HE LOVES SKULLS AND TOMBS AND HE EVEN HAS A GREEN SKULLTOP COMPUTER. This feels like the exact same thing. Hussie is cramming it down our throats, but in two or three months we'll look back on this and laugh at ourselves for swallowing it all hook line and sinker.

at which point we'll find out that jake prototypes himself with uu and nepeta and the three of them become lord English

Actually, Aradia et all were, in fact, talking about English because they assumed the demon that invaded was English. It wasn't until later that they realized it was Jack.

"Your death will be your single greatest achievement. Your 'friends' will be happy." That certainly doesn't imply she'll turn out to be Lord English, no siree. Nor is painting everything with her blood, which is to say, turning everything green, a characteristic of Lord English.
Oh god... that's actually really sad again. It's actually plausible when you consider she shares a body with Lord English. Everyone will be happy when he dies, and she'll die with him. I guess that would also imply that she'll be responsible for his death somehow- it will be her achievement...

I love how effectively this is making Lord English into not just an evil villain, but a loathsome evil villain.

The difference between: "He's destroyed universes, that monster!"
And: "He's overbearing and cruel and self centered, that huge obnoxious dick!"
The former is worse, but the latter really gets people's dander up.

The best part? All that stuff to analyze is part of the joke.

One day Hussie posts a white circle with a spiral coming off of it. Cue pages of discussion and theories about what it could possibly mean.

Next day, Hussie posts a callback to Penis Ouija, and has Calliope wonder for several paragraphs theories about what it could possibly mean.

I love it.

No, this is wrong. The readers assumed they were talking about Lord English, but they were only ever talking about "an unstoppable demon". This was an intentional mislead. Most of the trolls have no idea who Lord English is, and the ones who might now (Aradia, maybe?) didn't then.

Yeah, Indigo is Gamzee's blood color. Not sure why the actual ink is blueish. Guess it faded over time? Or it's an art error?

I still don't know whose side Gamzee is on (maybe none?) and I suspect this is exactly how Hussie wants it. The bard is the wildcard of any group, and we probably won't know what Gamzee is up to until the very end.

No, indigo is blue, and it corresponds to Equius's blood. My God, if Gamzee takes over the narrative like Doc Scratch... But that would imply he somehow gets his hands on the book before Calliope gets it. Or perhaps he's still on the meteor while it's being written... and then gets to Jane's session? I don't know.
