So Roxy has Kitty Pride powers?

Also, I was thinking that Dirk's sword was a Juju, which means there can only be one of them. Does Roxy take Dave's Bro's sword, and then somehow end up giving it to Dirk?

It's not a juju as far as I'm aware. There was a conversation between Dirk and Caliborn about Lil'Cal being a juju though.

It probably says something that I'm more excited for that than I am about actual updates. Probably doesn't help that Hussie gets more done in one page of that than in several pages of an update, but the pacing is really slow right now.

Did anyone else think of Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet when John talks about teleporting them all to Caliborn/Lord English's location to attack him all at once?

Thanos and Caliborn are a pretty obvious parallel.

John is going to retcon his eyes out of existence so that they may later be replace by pool balls.
That's why they're always toggling between numbers, he's retconning which ones he picked multiple times a second.

It's been established with Union Jack that the rapidly alternating billiard eyes suggest some sort of puppeteering by Caliborn via Cal, which I guess along with The Felt themselves is one of the many powers he gains through being an obstinate shitheel. Now whether or not this means LE is not really a "grown up" Caliborn but rather someone else he's hijacked, or some weird homunculus he's built, is still open to debate.

I'm leaning towards the latter. I've heard people say "well of course LE has time powers, Caliborn is a Lord of Time." But thus far, he hasn't been shown to have any kind of powers of his own beyond cherub strength and resilience. Numerous components of LE are, or could easily be, taken from elsewhere, and I just don't see any compelling evidence that Caliborn MUST be Lord English.

He could well be, though.

He also has mind-control eyes and the ability to use whatever hex he put on the Handmaid and later the Condesce.

Just by conservation of detail, I'm sure Caliborn is the big green skull monster that's eating souls.

I'm starting to think he might be Gamzee's puppet though.
Lord English has the same effect Jack Noir got from staring into Lil Cal. Gamzee created Lil Cal. Gamzee has raised Caliborn from hatching, and has followed him since. Gamzee used to worship Lord English, until having an epiphany in which he came to believe he is the Mirthful Messiah destined to bring about the Dark Carnival.
And the only timeline in which Gamzee has died, across all the timelines of paradox space, is the one in which John gained and used the power to rewrite realities.
Has it actually been said that Caliborn claimed that power?

Everything changes, Pit.

Didn't Caliborn stare into lil Cal's eyes and imbue him with the weird eye stuff power or something? I think I remember him doing that.

Nothing like that has been said, and I sorta doubt it will be. All of time has already been built around Caliborn's rise to power and immortality, so he's got no reason to rewrite anything. Every alpha timeling goes his way because that's what it means to be Lord of Time. I'm pretty sure he walks someone through this logic at one point or another.

But he was also explicitly called not the most important character in Homestuck. But still pretty important.


It also seems pretty clear that Gamzee's been possessed by Cal in a similar way to Union Jack. How many times have we seen Gamzee hanging with lil Cal and staring into his eyes, and he's also got the multicoloured eyes thing going on after he got out of Aranea's mind control.
