So, Gamzee had a god-tier Bard of Rage costume (though no wings) during the trolls' session. Much later, we see him gathering the pieces of that same costume from the dreambubbles, with Kurloz's help. This time, he straps on fake wings. ...what does it all mean? (I mean, did he go god-tier and then assemble a fake god-tier costume later, for some unfathomable clownish reason...?) (gently caress)

This isn't the trolls' session, it's the B2 session. You can tell by CD's magnificently rumpled head object.

The big rumplehat is meant to be a clear indication that this is B2. It also couldn't be the troll's Derse because Gamzee didn't get his scars until Derse had been destoyed and they didn't heal up until they'd left that session behind completely.

team overhead smash posted:Dirk had two Lil Cal's, one in his apartment that fell into the sea and one in his Derse bedroom. We don't know how either got there. The one in his apartment was in Derse jammies, and baby Bro was carrying a Cal in Derse jammies with him through the meteor portal. So, both Bro and Dirk arrived on Earth with Cal in tow. Presumably the Dream Cal is like Dave's Dream Cal: a physical manifestation of something in his actual room.

Exactly. Real Lil' Cal inspired a fear of puppets in Dave, one that Gamzee chucklevoodoo'd to create the Dream Lil' Cal. Dirk thinks puppets are hella cool, though, so he'd have no problem with a Dream Cal. The things in the dream rooms are created because they exist in the actual rooms, but they're as real as real can get.

Caliborn, indeed. I can't wait until we can eventually see Cal's entire journey. Or the journey of "Live" Cal. Coincidentally I actually managed to keep good track of some of Homestuck's other time travelers, but Cal's journey is the one I usually have to look up forgotten details on.

Except instead of going from plush toy to heroic little robot warrior, he goes from puppet to the evil laser-breathing Incredible Skullk.

Hamiltonian Bicycle posted:This isn't the trolls' session, it's the B2 session. You can tell by CD's magnificently rumpled head object. Right, yeah, okay, I'd somehow missed that implication. (Also the scars.) I blame puppet-induced panic. So... this isn't Gamzee's first encounter with Lil' Cal's hidden malevolence, it's a Lil' Cal that he's had for a while, that's whispered to him and urged him to kill... and even he is shocked and horrified when it winks. That makes sense! Renaissance Robot posted:Wouldn't this be a bit like wearing two hats? Appearing to be a queen while not making any moves a king couldn't make, while actually being a queen the entire time. That was the thought, but blessedly I was wrong enough that we don't need to tread down that dark, double-clown-god-strewn path. So to my understanding, the 'current' Lil' Cal situation in B2 is: (1) One fallen into the ocean, which will later end up in Caliborn's hands. (2) One last seen in Dirk's tower on Derse's moon; possibly destroyed by DD's Red Miles. (But probably not.) (3) One carried by a preposterously roundabout route from B1 to A2 to B2; currently alive and winking at our favorite murderclown. Does this sound closer to right?

I'm just confused because this is so close to what I was speculating would happen a couple of pages ago, that Gamzee would get some Derse pajamas for green felt Cal and drop him off in Dirk's bedroom. But CD shouldn't have a rumpled hat yet for that to have happened! I guess he could jump back in time again though.

PleasingFungus posted:So to my understanding, the 'current' Lil' Cal situation in B2 is: Yes. What remains to be seen is how these link up - the stuff about juju uniqueness combined with the fact that only one of the two Cals formerly in the possession of the two real-Dirks is "empty" suggests that either only one of them is actually the one that came from Dave's dream tower and was sent back with baby Dirk (and the other came from elsewhere and elsewhen) or that only one of them inherited the full juju realness attribute. Which one of these it is would depend on whether the one in Dave's dream tower had that attribute, and on exactly what it is that Gamzee's chucklevoodoos actually accomplished. (Creating the original "empty" Cal, or summoning the "full" Cal, or nothing and either sort of Cal attained existence regardless.)

So basically, this:Eiba posted:I'd rather that the empty Cal and the full Cal are one and the same, the empty one just has yet to be filled. Once it is, it'll somehow find its way back into being the full Cal of the original timeline. (I thought it was pretty straightforward, but everyone seemed to be talking about bifurcated fake Cal versions and poo poo like that, so I'm going to gloat a little for having called it.)

The Homestuck books have author commentary, they tell me yesterday. This is like finding out you can order a special edition of the bible with footnotes by God. I hope he actually remembers his own thoughts from the early parts of Homestuck. He had so much omniscient schizoid intensity that it'd be a tingly blur to anyone else.
