Maya lookin' disconcertingly like Allison in this one. I feel this is foreshadowing, and not the cheerful kind.

ChaseSP posted:Dude needs to put hovertext somewhere people on touchscreen can read. This one just says "Ascension". It's the caption below that has the context this time. But yeah I agree. I like how Whomp! always has it below the image under a spoiler-tag style click, especially since it usually includes another involved joke.

Shugojin posted:holy poo poo she's still around Flashback. Per the caption text, this seems to be the Yellow City in the midst of a famine, preceding a war, around the time of the Second Conquest. A war which I think the captions have mentioned before? I can't remember if the context was one of the passages from the Chronicler of Martial Arts Bullshit or somewhere else. I think this also means Maya is pretty drat old.

Pretty confident Maya is or was far further on the path of royalty than Solomon ever will be. Outright left her throne with no worries over succession after being fed up with it all rather than cry about how she couldn't just let it all go to waste. Not a shock if she stopped aging if this is true.

If Solomon can be immortal with martial arts breathing bullshit I'm sure the old drunk who can cut bullets out of the air with a broken sword can too.

Yeah, and the area she was queen of is now called "the pit." It seems like it turned out well for everyone.

Well nobody said royalty was a moral path. Simply the path of making the universe bend to you.

If I read correctly the Yellow City and the Blue City are basically moons that orbited Throne. As was mentioned above bad things happened to them during the war.

Incidentally Meti is so far down and to the left of this thing https://twitter.com/Orbitaldropkick/status/1105524036757540866?s=19 that her picture is probably below the floor of the room you're in

I thought Solomon would be higher on the graph since his trollishness would be tempered by his devotion to the absolute rule of law, but it seems that his draconian legal system is itself a massive troll.

Solomon isn't trolling, he's making the objective moral choice to spurn frivolity and get a single awakeness-boosting beverage for the one who happens to bear the burden of driving

Not a shock if she stopped aging if this is true. Given the themes of the comic in general, mortality is basically just for people who think they have to die.

Rotten Red Rod posted:He DID kind of get his head lopped off just before he could do it, and Zaid had just been kidnapped. So... Maybe? It's also a possibility that Allison was always the intended heir and Zaid was always a decoy. I'm a fan of the timey wimey homestuck theory of the heir. Allison was really just a normal person. But Zoss knew to shove the key into her head because she has already made it retroactively true that she has always been the heir. And now we find yet another use for Douglas Adams' 1001 Timetravel Tenses

Who What Now posted:Unless Maya lost a lot of weight and scars I'm gonna go with flashback. Speaking of scars, I don't think Maya has the ones on the side of her head in this panel, unless they're very well hidden. Guess they weren't from a shaving accident from that first time using the rusty sword after all. EDIT: Unless she's doing it now, I suppose.
