Does anyone recognize the lame sound effects from the snacks banner from anywhere? Because that 'meow' is adorable and I want it as my text signal.

the suggestion of trickster mode "sexual relations" might be the single most upsetting.

Don't worry, if Hussie even puts that in the comic it'll be as nonsensical as this.

I was resisting the urge to mention this but, yes, this is an MDMA high (extreme happiness, excitement, and the need to dance) combined with either LSD or Shrooms (for visuals) seems about right.

Green was MDMA, red was LSD. Green MDMA, from what I've heard, is like an equivalent to Breaking Bad's blue meth. This is all purely second hand knowledge.

It's probably some kind of Trickster-induced clairvoyance, in which case she's not safe even with the ring.

The entirety of paradox space could turn Trickster and Dad would remain a nucleus of sober sensibility at its very core.

It occurs to me that, if Trickster mode is basically like the Super Star powerup like Hussie said, it lets you mach-speed your way through the game. Except that since Sburb is also a game about personal development, it's also turned the affected kids into demented, manic self-improvement machines.

Come to think of it, I suppose a big enough culture shock in the form of someone or something they like a lot telling them how loving weird and horrifying they're being might be the key to bringing them back from crazy town. I suppose Jane could be swayed by Dad, what about Jake? Jade, maybe?

Pretty sure they're just going to go "what" and snap back to normal from dissonance after finding out that they're brother and sister.

Aren't they not though? They're both paradox clones of themselves, while it's the Beta Kids that are pairs of genetic siblings.

Even then, my brain is balking at going into Trickster-sex territory. As much as Hussie is hitting us over the head with repeated, capitalized, flashing mentions of 'babies' and 'relations,' my brain. Draws. The loving. Line.

Dirk, Jane, Jake and Roxy are all paradox clones of themselves.

John and Jade are Jane and Jake's kids, and Dave and Rose for Dirk and Roxy.

The B2 kids (Dirk, Jane, etc...) think they are the descendants of the other set (ie. Roxy calls Rose mom, Jane thinks poppop-John is her grandfather, etc) but they're wrong, it was just the order of the meteors made it look that way. (Similarly in neither universe are Dirk and Dave actually brothers, even though they call each other that).

Now this is all just in terms of genetics though. Their familial (mis)conceptions could still have vast and staggering shipping implicfsugdshklds;haklhdsklvsiahwiov;rwhgv;

Regy Rusty

This isn't really that complicated, since the genetic relationships are exactly the same in both versions of the universe. The only complication is that the genetic descendents are older than their ancestors in the scratched universe. But when time travel is involved, age is irrelevant (and besides, Dirk and Roxy are 413 years 'younger' than the other two anyway!).

Don't doodle on it!


Are we certain that the retroactive switching of the portals during the Scratch caused the babies to duplicate (with one copy going through the Beta portal and one through the Alpha), or could the Alpha kids wind up running their own ectobiology session to create the Beta kids in one cross-universe double mobius reacharound?
