Yeah, later on he gives Jane the "TUMUT", and then remembers to go back to holding shift to get "tumut", so I'd say he's doing the upper case Us to steal more from his sister, besides her blood color.

I think Karkat will be born out of Caliborn's choice and Kankri will be born out of doomed Calliope's choice. Basically, Karkat always makes fun of Gamzee for his religion, and it would be ironic if Gamzee was attempting to put the wheels in motion for his best friend's birth by seeking and assisting the person who could lead to his creation. Caliborn's choice will have something to do with having to shed the least useful part of his personality, and the death of Caliborn's good side will somehow end up being reborn as Karkat, leaving Caliborn as a complete vessel of destruction. Calliope's choice would have also involved shedding a part of her personality as well. I would guess that she would lose the destructive "overly-caring" portions of herself and it would be imbued in Kankri. This would leave her as an objectively creative vessel, only interested in the pro-creation of the universe. Maybe Calliope created Sburb as a means to create more universes, and might be another reason for why Lord English wants to destroy it. It would be extremely frustrating for him to have been playing a game devised by his cherub sister all this time. She knows the most about the game, so it stands to reason that she may have created it. Maybe Calliope made the Beta Sburb (green) to ensure the human's existence, Caliborn hacked an Alpha Sburb (red) to ensure a session would be populated entirely with his pawns, and Gamzee made Sgrub (purple) using his clown-fu to ensure the existence of trolls and Faygo on Alternia.

Ablative posted:Wait a minute... what if he doesn't? Caliborn will travel to the 8th planet normally. However, in a fit of pique he'll murder Felt #8 between intermissions. Since that character doesn't actually have Snowman's universe-ending power but instead has something completely worthless (which is probably what sets off Caliborn), nothing will come of it. The only indication we'll get is Hussie chastising Caliborn for mistreating his minions. Far in the future in the distant past, Doc Scratch recruits the A2 Black Queen as Felt #8 to close the hole in the ranks. He's very helpful that way.

In a stunning twist the Black Skaia is actually the entirety of paradox space the rest of the story has taken place in. Also, did anyone else pick up on Caliborn mentioning that he 'beat' planets by destroying them? That seems rather reminiscent of how Lord English destroys universes.

Prison Warden posted:I agree with your first sentence, but for a different reason. When John flew off to obey Terezi and ended up dying, the Trolls lost all contact with them, and terezi didn't even suspect that a beta-timeline version would exist at that point (I think she said she was just loving with him because she knew he wouldn't do it from looking into the future on her Trollian client). I think the session in a beta timeline is totally severed from any other universes, not just the Troll-verse. There's no beta-Jade from that timeline because she is just plain old regular Jade, and when the timeline splintered off, she just lost contact and the others just figured she got blowed up by a meteor impact. Yeah, that's what I meant. Jade was in Universe B1, and not the B1 Medium when it was offshot, so she could only connect to her Alpha Timeline Medium.

Wow, that's... huh. That's interesting. So Lord English isn't just indiscriminately breaking things, he's actually got something resembling a plan. Question is what exactly he's doing, though. Is he just making a circle for the hell of it? ...Or maybe he's cutting a hole.

I think that's less English's doing than it is Vriska leading him around in a roughly circular fashion as to better facilitate her stellar cartography, establishing a rough perimeter. Similarly, I think we're about to find out that John's hanging out with Vriska and Tavros again while dreaming.

In the centre of a massive two-universes-big deadly fireball seems like a good hiding space. Which kinda makes you question exactly how big that circle IS, since it dwarfs the Green Sun. But mostly I'm hoping this happens.

Hang on - hang on. The felt are NOT, as I had thought the consorts of the planets, since Caliborn's been shooting turtles. What if they're Denzines? What if THAT'S the reason they have their time-based powers? That would fit with Caliborn's session being an 'extra-hard' version of the game, i.e. there being more bosses...

Vriska's Eve. I'm wondering if we're just going to see the aftermath of that dreambubble clusterfuck. It is/was obvious English crashes it. Rather than actually see him do it, what if we just cut to a battered Vriska and Meenah hauling their respective sidekicks from the bubble-rubble.

Comedic possibility. Meenah and Vriska's fight was a draw. Somehow, plan C (combine plans) actually amounts to using Lord English's cracks in reality to cut the green sun out of paradox space looney tunes style. Either that or cut paradox space out of the green sun looney tunes style, either way.

Either that or cut paradox space out of the green sun looney tunes style, either way. This is actually what I'm expecting to happen if that circle is completed. The Green Sun gets cut out of paradox space, and its effects on paradox space are negated. Thereby ensuring that the plan that necessitated the Tumor is carried through, at exactly the wrong moment. Although it might mean that, since the Green Sun was completely removed from paradox space, that its effects never happened. So no dog-tier Jade, yes, but also no GCat, no Bec Noir, either no Doc Scratch or a rather less dangerous one... Meaning if the bad guy wins, he will retroactively have never been in a position to contend in the first place.
