Olivia42 posted:The beer doesn't taste great, by the way. Well that was pretty much a foregone conclusion. So, this reveal that they live on the kids' and trolls' meteor really only reconfirms my troubling suspicion that this is Universe C - that is, the universe their session finally creates. On the bright side they seem to be at the very end of, at least, this planet's life, so it probably had a rich full history with happy happy people. Hooray! The reason I'm thinking this is because, obviously, there is a direct tie between our heroes and uu/UU's current position. Maybe after they make their new universe they crash their meteor into it... or something. I dunno the specifics are still a bit foggy, but everyone seems to have seriously forgotten that uu/UU are not on Earth. Sigh, lemme dig it out... Homestuck posted:UU: oh, hee hee! bUt i never claimed to be from that planet, which is only in the far reaches of yoUr solar system.

UU is not from Earth, that doesn't necessarily mean she's not on it. Just to keep the cylinders firing.

If the meteor isn't going to crash directly into the B-kids universe, then everybody's gonna get off of it (probably to board Jade and John's ship) and if so, the meteor is going to continue on through the furthest ring and who knows what will happen or where it will end up? Could wind up embedding itself in the universe the kids create, or a completely different universe that was created ages ago by someone else, or any number of other things.

They might've brought over the meteor to universe C so that they could use it's equipment to do things like start making a viable population for whatever species is going to dominate it.

I'm concerned about what meaning it might have that calliope has a red sun and green blood. Also pieces of the meteor and of humanity floating on some red thing. Might be similar to how pieces of Scratch's home were floating on green stuff. Does this mean uu gets a green sun?

In the words of the great Hermes Conrad, "That just raises further questions!" I'm...kinda stumped. - It could be the far-far-future of B2-Earth, which somehow survives the Red Miles that are currently invading it. The Meteor hits, everyone abandons ship (Wait, was the meteor headed for the B2-Earth or the B2 Incipisphere?), and then use their awesome powers to somehow sever the galaxy from Bilious Slick, so it floats around, sorta like the fragment of the A-frog that contained Doc Scratch's building. Extra Statues of Liberty are...hmm. I dunno. Exiles like the design and build a bunch? - It could be the world/frog that the B1 and B2 kids make together. It's Dave's mark on the world that it's filled with artifacts. This might actually be the "happy" ending, because it seems like this was a normal world that survived to billions of years into the future and is only now sburbin', which is the best you can hope for. - It could be some other random world / timeline in Bilious Slick where all of B2-Dave's lovely trash was dumped. And that Red Miles hasn't reached yet. No idea how the meteor would get there. Maybe all this poo poo is foreshadowing for them fighting the Condesce and her throwing the meteor and statues at them? - Extra-silly scenario: Dirk's entry item is an artifacted mini Statue of Liberty (due to some hangup he has with his dead DaveBro) and thus his exile's station is an artifacted SoL. And because there's so many Dirks, each gets their own exile with his own station. :P

You know, call me dumb, but it wasn't until I saw all these statues of liberty that I realized that Rose's Zazzerpan statue being smashed up in the exile-future was a planet of the apes reference.

Theory: Calliope is currently on post-scratch earth, eons after the Jack attacking Bilious Slick with the Red Miles is killed to prevent its destruction. The statues of liberty simply fell back to the planet because the sun's pull is too weak to keep them up there? I don't know.

Can we get to the squiddle intermission already? I want to love all 48 of the squeaky little shits before they're brutally killed. Then we switch over to the pre-scratch troll ancestor stories who are just as awesome as the trolls we know and love, but die before doing anything actually relevant to the story besides leaving some pirate erotica around. As for this update, I have no loving clue. My brain can not process any more HS shenanigans, I have reached loop overload.

Ive equally liked and hated Homestuck for about a year now. I cant stop reading a webcomic once I start, because Im a Literal Idiot, and despite completly despising Act 5 I kept reading it. But like, I was just watching some of the older flashes and I saw Rose's entrance into the medium. Oh my god. Rose smashing the bottle has to be one of the laziest animations ive ever seen, which is odd because earlier Homestuck tends to have a lot more animation. Renaissance Robot posted:Some people thought it wouldn't keep happening. That Hussie couldn't possibly keep adding new characters and make them endearing and compelling. Theyre right, if the other 10 ancestor trolls are introduced in earnest Im gonna flip the gently caress out. Nobody cares about anyone in this strip that isnt the four kids + roxy + karkat. Christ. Lets get back to the basics people.

Captain Oblivious posted:Vainhope.txt I know it wont, Im just projecting. Im a serious Ultima fan and if Lord English is killed in the same way Lord British died because of a goofy glitch or oversight, (due to a crash Richard Garriot logged back in without refreshing his invulnerability flag, so when people cast spells on him he took damage without being aware of it and died) Id love it. I loved the earlier acts because of how game like they were, and if the final confrontation came down to glitching the system Id be in heaven. I know the story has become so complex that we cant indulge in sylladex shenanegans so much anymore, but Id be so happy if Lord English got caught in the geometry or something and in a totally anticlimactic fight everyone cheesed the hell out of him.

TOAST7312 posted:So my theory isn't wrong, then; barring the 'kill jack' thing. Right! And also the part that requires Bilious Slick to not have been destroyed on-screen halfway through [S] Cascade to power the creation of the Green Sun. Other than that, though, I'm sure your theory is totally flawless!

I am so very confused right now. But one thing that I am remembering as being weird was the curtains in Seer: Descend, as well as the chapters in Cascade corresponding to Red, Blue, Green, and White. All of the red sections were from B1, leading up to the creation of the Green Sun. We are currently in the green section, leading to the destruction of the Red Supergiant? Red and green turning to white was also in the picture in Calliope's room. And I don't have any idea what it means.

It's hard to take this as gospel when Hussie is notoriously bad at estimating story duration, but supposedly the white section of the story is supposed to be a short epilogue. I assumed that it would be a brief look at what everyone is up to in a post-fight, post-make-a-new-universe kind of a way. Especially if the new universe is made by a collaboration of the B2 trolls, the A1 kids, and the A2 kids, in a blue plus red plus green equals white kind of thing.

I found Hussie talking about the sun.Hussie Book 2 Annotations posted:The "red eye of the sun" is another bit of recurring imagery. In shows up in other places too, like volcanoes, and in the lava underneath the Beat Mesa. What does it mean, you ask? Look into your heart to find the answer. (Protip: that answer will be wrong. Your heart is kind of a moron.)
