This update closes one of the lingering mysteries -- namely, how some of the Veil/etc equipment can interact on either side of the Scratch. B1 still "exists" in Universe B's Bilious Slick, concurrently with B2. So, the universe frog exists in, like, the 12th dimension. If you believe String Theory, anyways.

Man, Red Miles (the song) reminds me so much of Drakengard, it's frightening. The entire album is fantastic, though.

B1 is the A-side of a record, and B2 is the B-side, and they're different but related songs. Still a single object, and if you snap it in half, both sides break. The A-side was scratched and now the B-side is playing. This metaphor can extend a surprising distance. It's certainly no coincidence that "scratch" was the precise term used, nor that the symbol of a record was important even from early on. I would go so far as to call the terms "A-side" and "B-side" relevant, if possibly misleading. Per UU's explanation, it seems it's theoretically possible for there to be more than two iterations of a single universe, comparable to more than two "sides" of a record in higher-dimensional spaces, though we've seen no method whereby such a thing may be attained. Music boxes, like the ones used as the symbol of time in the troll universe, use cylinders rather than discs, and therefore only have one side; however, they could in theory be the kind that uses paper reels wrapped around a spool, rather than a metal rod with small tines or a wax cylinder with grooves. Only the latter kind can really be scratched in any meaningful sense, however.

Dolash posted:It was pretty obvious the other kids didn't have any real-world friends so they didn't really know anyone else to save, and we also happen to know that they didn't have much time to get into the medium either, but if they'd been interested in saving lives John could've tried rounding up some of his own neighbours or Dave could've tried the apartments next door. I know, I know, practically speaking they were unlikely to go with some kid who's convinced they can escape a meteorite, but the option was open and unacknowledged. I meant it from a narrative viewpoint. As far as the narrative was concerned, Dave might as well not have had any neighbours, and John rarely ever saw his busy neighbours IIRC, and none of them ever appeared. Same deal with Jane. Whereas the carapaces were shown, and Roxy was seen interacting with them. When you look at it as a world, yeah, John had neighbours, Dave probably too. When you look at it as a story, the carapaces in Roxy's town were infinitely more important than John's and Dave's neighbours because they were actual characters.

Won't Dirk's Lil Cal go active the second he gets into the game? If you consider Scratch to be the "living" juju -- he's technically dead within the connotations of the Medium.

While technically an accurate term for alcohol, I'm not sure I like UU's use of the word "soporific" to describe it... Because we all know what happened the last time someone ran out of a soporific.

With all UU's talk of rules and how she's afraid of breaking them (and the strong hinting that uu admires/is like/will become Lord English), I'm reminded of the apparently brutal way LE treats young girls in his service. It's getting so stark at this point that I'm beginning to think it almost must be a mislead. But they totally have something to do with Lord English though. Right?

http://mspandrew.tumblr.com/post/25156009290/reddit-or-not-here-we-dumb Hussie's reddit answers are up. Here is your taste... quote:But for real, my fanfic where he was a Slytherin all along is so much better. (he is naked in most of it) edit: Most of it is stuff that we already guessed at, since he's not giving away any spoilers and is just taking logic to stuff we've already seen. Andrew does give much less flippant answers than usual, so that's neat. He did confirm we'll see more of the denizens. Perhaps the most unsettling thing is the revealed fate of post-scratch FedoraFreak.

The best part of that whole question-answering session was how many times Hussie took some guy's three paragraph question and said what amounted to: "Yeah that is about right." People are gonna be pissed about that, I bet. Also: Some guy apparently wrote a 16-page essay about Homestuck?? Or I am reading that wrong and I'm just being dumb.

Dolash posted:Oh yeah no doubt, and it's the practical answer, but it's also something no one's ever talked about or considered. John's never stopped to say "If I'd had another minute maybe I could've gotten old man Gregson from next door into the house in time, but he's dead now". As for music, my favourite album is Vol 7 - aside from the bonus tracks, it feels the tighest and most coherent of any of the albums. My favourite individual track is probably Black, and my favourite theme to hear used is Beatdown (I love Clockstopper on Universe B).

The thing I found most interesting was this:Hussie posted:I almost certainly will jump to a different medium after Homestuck. It may even be one of the things you mentioned. Who knows??? Mostly the fact that he wants to try a different medium. I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with.

If someone told me they were going to make a HS porno my reaction wouldn’t be “what ew no stop” it would be more like “FRANKLY, I DON’T THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES

Avoid burning bridges at pretty much any cost? I love how every time there are a set of questions like these, at least one of them is trying to get Hussie to badmouth the fandom.

I know this will probably open up an entire oil drum's worth of worms, but what's the current goon opinion on Jake English == Lord English? The references range from subtle to smashing a brick over your head, to the point I feel it'd be a bigger twist if it didn't mean anything at all. Still, was just wondering if any other readers had some concrete thoughts on the matter.

Eh, uu also has a lot of similarities with Lord English, I'd assume both are involved with one version or another of Lord English. As for musichat, my favourite album is Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido. Favourite song is Dead Shuffle.

Still, was just wondering if any other readers had some concrete thoughts on the matter. We've already had a partial explanation, though. B2 Jade adopted Lord English's name and symbols as her way of putting the Condesce on notice. The references thus far have been largely superficial--what we know about LE's character doesn't really mesh with Jake at all. There's a good chance that we'll see Lord English's creation/rise and that most or all of the cast (including Jake) will have a hand in it one way or another, but being Lord English seems like a longshot.
