pumpinglemma posted:The thing I'm wondering about is not god tier levels but angels. The same angels that gave Eridan his powers, and which "paradox space uses to usher in the end". It feels like the post-scratch session would be a sensible point to elaborate on them, especially since Jake's domain is the same as Eridan's. GT: Well uh... GT: There are just so drat many of them janey and theyre not getting any less bloody pissed is the thing!

Cracker Lacquer posted:So, was the tinkerbull's death supposed to be funny? It's hard to tell sometimes. At most as funny as Vriska's first death sequence, the Nic Cage looking over Vriska's second death, or Grandpa's death, or Terezi playing with Tavros's corpse, or CD's dance after killing Jade, or... Sometimes the presence of absurdity and irony can mix with serious contexts with the purpose of making the reader have conflicting ideas about how they should feel about something! To guilt them for laughing at something they know they shouldn't laugh at. We've seen that an awful lot by now!

Pleasant Friend posted:Also I'm a little disappointed so many of you took that Andrew comments as confirmation Gamzee won't get comeuppance for what he's done. Really, what do you expect Hussie to say when he's answering a question like that? Throw up the spoiler flags and announce what plot events will happen way in advance? Say "maybe he will maybe he won't" that's basically a confirmation. Uh, no, sorry, Gamzee isn't going to get any 'comeuppance.' If he dies, it will be for reasons unrelated to what happened. Hussie isn't lying or kidding when he says there is a difference between a character arc and a series of jokes.

I've seen a lot of people trying to explain the existence of UU, but I haven't seen much discussion anywhere about who the first guardian of earth could possibly be! I don't know if I can get down with the idea of UU being the first guardian until we see some evidence. Remember that if Jade and the troll's asteroid come to the earth or the new session as planned, there is no limit to the possibilities for the FG's identity! It isn't Becquerel again, because the meteor carrying the trolls' FG wasn't copied the way the others were. The agents of Prospit and Derse will create the FG, possibly under the manipulations of others as before. Who will it be? I can only guess. But one thing is for sure: he/she is already here. Putting myself in my "what would I do if I were Andrew Hussie" thinking mode, I quickly came up with what I consider a fairly possible answer!

Not only that, but those are specifically billiards colors bro! When there is something to be analyzed as "oh hey this might be important", it is going to be something that actually makes sense, and Hussie usually spells it out anyway.

DaveBro and RoseMom probably might bite the dust before all is said and done, too. I'm talking about the deaths of characters who haven't even been introduced yet! Wow. Hussie sure knows how to imprint expectations on us. But he also knows how to subvert those expectations at the point where they would start screwing with thematic points, in ways that should be similarly predictable, so you have to be on your toes about what to expect.

Midnight Raider posted:I actually sort of wonder what would happen if Terezi had just lopped off one of Vriska's fairy wings instead. Terezi would have died right there, because flying has nothing do with her fairy wings, and Vriska was far stronger than any of the other trolls. Vriska had the luck and dice that allowed her to actually hurt Jack. Terezi had a cane sword and the powers of someone whose role isn't to fight - and not-yet fully realized powers at that. The only reason Vriska died is because she refused to believe that she could die to Terezi, and let her guard down as she taunted Terezi.

Lord of Laughton posted:Hussie's a jokester, and I wouldn't change that, but is there any commentary in the book that isn't of a humorous nature? I realize Act 1 is still in the comic's prime and is very gag oriented, but I'd be interested in any serious thoughts he had about the comic's direction. I don't have it, but I suspect he'd be hesitant to include commentary that would necessarily include details about future events, since he wants the books to be able to stand as their own product and get people to read who otherwise might not.

Prison Warden posted:Now we have all the symbols/colours here I wonder if or when we'll find out the god-pajamas design for each class. We know Hier, Maid, Thief, Seer and Knight, so only 7 to go! I would wonder if there is fanart of Jane and all the Trolls we know both for yet, but I think this fanbase's art turnaround is like 4 minutes Heir of Breath - John Seer of Light - Rose Knight of Time - Dave Witch of Space - Jade Knight of Blood - Karkat Bard of Rage - Gamzee Mage of Doom - Sollux Seer of Mind - Terezi Sylph of Space - Kanaya (?)Rogue of Void - RL (?)Prince of Heart - DS Maid of Life - Jane Page of Hope - Jake Assuming, of course, that these guys all get to God-hood, I think we might get all the designs before the end. I don't see any narrative reason for no one else to ascend, since a credible threat to godtiers and an overall objective (beyond 'meet up') still need to come about.

Wrist Watch posted:I think that having all the trolls' dreamselves killed is a pretty good reason for them not to ascend. Dave and Rose had their waking selves killed, and were revived by having their dreamselves take over. The only thing we've seen in common for everyone who's ascended so far is that it involves the dreamself somehow. Narrative reasons. You can come up with technical reasons why they couldn't, but those are subject to change at Hussie's whim, and always in a way that allows the narrative to flow logically. For instance, Gamzee turning out to be responsible for John's obsession with clowns, through psychic troll powers that we hadn't seen him use before. It was something that was pretty obviously going to happen somehow, we just had to get to a point where Hussie could show us how it happens.

Prison Warden posted:To clarify, while we know the full titles of all the trolls we don't, for example, know what the design of the Page god-jammies would even be. Whereas Karkat, as the Knight would presumably have the same godhood design as Dave, only with the colours/symbol we just found out. My list was to show that all the classes you were talking about, along with all the symbols, can still be shown on godhood clothing in the comic.

Cumhand Luke posted:had breakfast with Andrew Hussie at Denny's the other day, very enlightening. while our skillet scrambles were being prepared, he created a lengthy and complex narrative involving a conflict between the salt and pepper shakers. other condiments soon joined the fray as ancillary characters and Hussie asked for twelve extra placemats to keep track of all the storylines/parallel universes/alliances/etc. he wouldn't let me use the ketchup because "it's still dead in this timeline" and apparently i'd have to wait for a dream sequence (the waitress comes by and refills our coffee).

He's been killed three times, so I guess you might as well chalk it up to him having four lives (two real bodies somehow and two dreamselves) rather than just three (one real body and two dreamselves). No, he has been killed twice. And since we don't know how having two dreamselves works, it is entirely possible some fuckery with that would let him still exist in the physical world, having left his dreambubble with the last of the dreamself bodies.

Nate RFB posted:-Prospit Dreamself killed by Jack (this is an assumption but where else would it go?) For all we know, that dreamself stopped existing the way it should when he became his Derse dreamself. Like how everyones' dreamselves disappear into thin air when they wake up, but rather than going back to their room on the moon, became a kind of 'reserve' body. We have no frame of reference as to what happens when you have a dreamself as a dreamself except for him, who is existing as someone who just left the afterlife and is interacting with the physical realm.
