She's going through the Tavros-Gamzee rap-off now.

She hasn't posted about the end of it yet.

I am anticipating her reaction quite heartily.

It feels wrong somehow to be stalking a liveblogger like this, but it's probably saving this thread from going even worse places, because at least something is updating.

She's legit entertaining, and it's cool to enjoy this comic from a really different perspective (the excitable young tumblr-girl perspective). And, you know, there's the dramatic irony of us knowing what's ahead of her.

I assumed it was The Real Equius just because he had a bunch of Aradias hanging around him.

I stick to my belief that we're going to get Nepiusprite and they're going to tell us what exactly happens to a dreambubbler who dies. Then they explode, and they're re-dead and they help Vriska and Tavros with the gently caress poo poo Up Plan.

Y'know, I imagine a meeting between John and Dave will be PRETTY AWKWARD considering for 3 years John has been hanging with Davesprite. Dave and Davesprite had already diverged when Davesprite was created, and 3 years is a long time for 2 people with the same point of origin to become quite different from one another.

Kinda like how AR and dirk had identical staring conditions but have had 3 years of developmental differences, and are now largely considered different characters.

I still hold true to my theory that the daves will unify back in to one. Upon reuniting, god tier dave will prototype himself with davesprite and become one entity with the powers and knowledge of both. Kinda like how all of dirk's fractured selves ended up recombining into one dirk. it's just a thing the strider brothers do.

I've just realized a few more things.

Dave doesn't have his timetables now, does he? Like the rest of his inventory, they'd be left on LOFAF. All he has now is the broken Caledfwlch. Does he even still need them?

The last frog needed to breed the Genesis Frog was sendificated to Jade's pond before Bec killed it. Jade only remembered this incident after she agreed to Echidna's bargain. We don't know, but it is very probable that Echidna was the one who sent the frog.

That is all.

I don't know why people are assuming that, because Equius is appearing in normal clothes and appearance in these dream bubbles, he was the 'alpha Equius' that was killed by Gamzee. This could be just any old Equius from dream Feferi or dream Eridan or Aradiabot #413's beta timeline.

In my case I only even thought of that possibility because other people mentioned it first. However it was reinforced in my mind since the majority of the other characters in that dream bubble were in Derse/Prospit pajamas or Godtier outfits, which immediately ruled them out as the dead alphas(unless they had a cosplay fetish or something?). Even Dave and John were still in the garb they died in which specifically signified them as betas.

Basically it's a case of "Nearly everyone in that dream bubble was glaringly, obviously a beta, while Equius was the edge case in looking how he died as an alpha."

So yes, it's not damning evidence, but merely making an unfortunate if possibly incorrect implication. :smith:

I think the unification is supposed to be a Prince of Heart thing rather than a Strider thing, so I think the Daves will remain plural, personally. However, what would be interesting is seeing how their viewpoints end up clashing a bit in that regard, with Dirk taking care of his various selves/creations and Dave being defensive in hoping he's the one of his bretheren to survive.

I think the running theory has been that if you go Godtier(or maybe just level up enough?) you may no longer need game-specific gear to do your high-end class abilities. Which is pretty convenient since if you go Godtier in most ways you're probably inadvertently ditching your gear in any case. (Which at the same time may be a bit thematic of the player growing up a bit, since now they realize that they don't really need to rely quite as much on all that powerful gear they had with their new super powers, and can definitely hold their own until they find it again/make more.)

Even if Dave needed all his stuff, he's got a huge pile of grist (since John slaughtered all those enemies during the Scratch and they've all got Gristtorrent running) and the Troll asteroid has all the crafting equipment. He could conceivably make it all again, or better.

I dont think it will be awkward. John may find it amusing how they changed, but he made it pretty clear that he considers them completely different people and not just clones of some sort.

Might not be awkward for John, but it might be awkward for Dave. After all, John would have had all this time to buddy up with Davesprite, three years, during which he himself was absent. Hell, three years might even have been longer than John and Dave knew each other before Sburb. Dave might feel like he's kind of been supplanted as John's best friend by someone else.

It was very probably longer than three years. The chronological (not causal) beginning of the events that led to their acquaintance was when Jade's grandpa was still alive, if you recall the sequence.

Come to think of it, I seem to recall that we did see the exact moment John and Jade met, but it was in a Flash somewhere.

It wouldn't surprise me if we do at some point get to see a flashback to when the kids all met. The B2 kids, too; all we know is that Calliope was involved with it.

I vaguely remember him explaining that originally they were D&D characters? Some sort of magical mafiosi powered by the Plane of Shadow. They were also a whole organization, not just four card-themed guys.

There was a hint of shadow magic powers in the original PS extras, but they had already been changed a lot by Hussie, and as they appeared in Homestuck they are completely divorced from the original concept.

Jit's, specifically. He seems to have been making a bunch of cryptic "OYO" posts about it, so clearly it's a concept album about a hypothetical Homestuck Babies spinoff where everyone is one year old.

My music collection isn't tagged correctly and everything just has the artist as 'homestuck'. What tracks is Jit notable for having done?

Sarabande, Light, GameBro, WSW, Trollcops, Ruins are some of his compositions I think. Crystamanthequins is his arrangement, and he's the performer on Sburb. Also did that rad version of Three in the Morning on Vol. 9.

Edit: Also he's the guy who maintains a list here.
