So one half of Gamzee got sucked in Cal...and I wonder what that means and which half.

Shivcraft posted:My current basically evidence-less theory is that the Jack with billiard eyes is going to end up taking control of the Felt, nabbing that staff, and in some other way getting hold of the coat to become, if not LE outright, the LE analogue for this portion of the endgame. Maybe he will get RIIIIIPPED also? Anyway, I feel like this would be a nice callback to the old Act 5 theory that Bec Noir was eventually going to become Lord English, meaning Spades Slick had a vendetta against himself. Haha, yep, so Union Jack is actually well on his way to becoming a real version of LE. He's not just being puppeteered by Caliborn, he's got a mishmash of Caliborn, Gamzee, Equius, and the Auto-Responder in there. Let's see how many more of these I can sink in the next act.

So it all comes together in an intelligently explained and logically satisfying way. Truly Caliborn was always the narrator this story deserved. I'm glad he killed that hack Andrew Hussie. Now in how many ways will this event not actually go as predicted?

I don't try to make many predictions, but I will continue holding out hope that Lord English knocked over Slick's favorite casinos in order to get scotty dogs to send back to his past self in order to bribe Jack to kill Calliope's dream self.

So wait, am I getting this right, that Lord English as we know him is a mixture of Caliborn, Half of Gamzee, and Arquiussprite? Arquiussprite seems out of place, RIPPED-ness aside.

Containing a small part of Equius would at least explain why he bothered to get so STRONG.

Yeah, okay, this is Caliborn being beaten, not Lord English. That dude's still out there. This ain't the end of homestuck. Which means that John and co. will probably be involved much more strongly in that battle rather than this one

Does that mean Nepeta will be relevant, as well? One thing I've wondered about is why Doc Scratch, who was so concerned with the troll's social status, was a fragment of Caliborn/Lord English, who really didn't care less about trolls. I wondered (and still do) whether that was part of Calliope still in him. But having part of Equius in him would explain why Scratch got so worked up over the troll's caste system.

So assuming LE is now properly a separate character from Caliborn... are we gonna hear him speak? Even after Caliborn's introduction, LE has still had this air of being a force of nature (which he kinda, y'know, is); it would be odd to suddenly give him character traits beyond EXTERMINATE.

So does this mean that Lord English only came about because of this battle? Like, the kids, in trying to stop Lord English from coming to be, created him? And that without this battle, Caliborn would have just been an annoying little kid making bad art?

I find it interesting that LE's 'first' defeat, as mentioned long ago by Aranea, was Caliborn. I was expecting it to be Union Jack, or something within the session. You'd expect them to clean house before moving on to the Caliborn fight.WAR FOOT posted:I'm not going to lie, I'm completely lost. In this timeline (which we are currently assuming is the one that is actually going to happen), Dirk sucks AR's, Equius's, Caliborn's, and Gamzee's souls into Lil' Cal. This unholy mix is what creates Lord English. From Equius, we get the buffness. From AR, we get Doc Scratch. From Gamzee, we get the honking. From Caliborn, we get the green skull and the general desire for destruction. It remains to be seen if this will still happen, now that it's been spoiled, or if Caliborn's fate will be changed, effectively either making Lord English never exist in the first place, or severing the causal relationship between Caliborn and Lord English. CuddlyZombie posted:How does ARquiussprite even exist in the post-RetJohn timeline? Well, Gamzee can still be around and loving with kernelsprites. He just can't create the Tavrissprite, since Vriska isn't dead anymore. Remember, ARquiusprite was made before the Beta Kids showed up, so any timeline changes that happen because of Vriska being there won't have much impact.

Minor detail, but looking back at the claymation in which all of the Alpha kids get completely wrecked, it's pretty cool how much detail is put in. Basically, Caliborn whacks Dirk, than Jane in quick succession. Roxy tries to help Dirk and gets attacked, Jake runs over to Jane and helps her get up. Caliborn stomps Roxy then goes for Dirk, knocking him out, and then Jane helps Roxy up. And then Caliborn knocks them out, in the order of Jake, Jane, Roxy, and then Dirk. I should not be feeling  over two-color clay puppets helping each other up, but I am.I'm kinda hoping some of the fantastic fan-animators make a flash of it now (complete with hope-field Jake, of course).
