Prediction: Terezi will at some point click her heels together while thinking of John's phrase and end up in the new alpha timeline/the past with all memories intact. She'll direct John's use of retcon powers to save as many people as possible. The price may be her own life. Maybe none of that will happen, but I have a hard time believing Jade's shoes aren't on her feet for a reason beyond mere ruby deliciousness.

None of those exist for her anymore, and if they did she's 3+ years away from all of them. No more trolls will ever god tier without John loving with their session.

First of all, goddamnit John, when someone is beating herself up and is saying that she's wasted her life, you don't just say "I guess you're right." Re: Terezi's mindy thing, that fizzle sound effect sure seeemd to imply a power failure to me. paradoxGentleman fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Nov 19, 2014 |

I am now thinking that instead of John immediately fixing everything his first retcon will be to somehow inspire Terezi who will then come up with the plan to save the day. I still hope that she somehow gets a tiger. Maybe she'll somehow enter a dream bubble with a mind quest crypt.

I just realized, the last few panels are a call back to when Terezi let Vriska go way back in Act 5. And that moment turned out to just be one possible future Terezi was viewing thanks to Mind Powers. I wonder if this is the same case?

GloriousDemon posted:Roxy could easily conjure one up if told to by a certain big rear end goddess of the night. Yeah, ever since Roxy's void crap has been revealed to be able to conjure things that no longer exist in the universe, I always assumed she'd create quest beds for the trolls. I might be sad if that isn't the case to be honest.

Oh, that's a neat visual callback. It'd be pretty cool if we follow things and they go disastrously, leading to death, only to snap back to Terezi Mind-Seeing the situation and telling John something else instead. Although yeah, John, come on, stop shrugging off all your suicidally depressed friends. Get better at helping people already.

John is only good if he has another character to enable him, he should've taken Terezi with him. e: also lol @ u guys who thinks it'll be Terezi hiding her own death. If anything, she'd be hiding Roxy's.

Eiba posted:Wait, what? This... wasn't a twist. Who says it's going to be anything even approaching simple? "Fix everything" isn't a plan, it's a goal. Fixing things might have some ridiculous consequences! Maybe he'll go for the full reversion, maybe he'll mess something up and erase everything while also modifying some reality variable from prior to this mess, maybe he'll cause a massive paradox and Homestuck will end, appropriately, with every event in the story being utterly meaningless, and unable to actually progress from the point it's at.

Is it weird that of all character interactions and relations in Homestuck, I feel most strongly about John and Roxy? They just seem to get on really well, I just want them to hang out and be happy with each other for a while!

Maybe it's just too early in the morning, but I'm not getting what the deal with the phrase was. Terezi's powers are based on decisions, right? Vriska stays / goes, Dave calls heads or tails, that sort of thing. Was the point to have John decide something?

Well, "there's no place like home" was supposed to get Dorothy out of Oz, right? If John uses a code phrase to signal that he failed, maybe she can use it to search through timelines to find one that's good enough.

With the way this update ended, the next panel will obviously be Terezi smiling at the camera with an "just according to keikaku" face. keikaku means plan

I'm ninety-eight percent certain that the deal is that she wanted to link her current mindstate to that phrase somehow so that later on John could say "There's no place like home" in the past (presumably to Past Terezi) and then have the benefit of Terezi's advice again.

Terezi's Seer of Mind power failed because she can only see forward down paths. She cannot see down potentials, only maybe's. She can't backtrack at all.

Oh. Ohhhh. It's a bookmark for this timeline. It's derived from the unique conditions of this timeline. You are totally right. Its so past Terezi can find this timeline among the multitude of possible ones. Which is important so she can learn from it.
