Alectai posted:tl;dr: The Lord English Glitch is "You don't have the tools to make a Genesis Frog", and pointing out the "You weren't created in that session!" was a red-herring. True, but completely meaningless in it's proper context. He hasn't won yet, but he's basically entered the victory lap at this point, and it'd take a completely unexpected shift to make him lose. Wasn't it mentioned at one point that the Beat Mesa and its equivalents are always in the Hero of Time's land? If so, how can they even scratch in the first place if this happens?

Fortis posted:There probably isn't. In all likelihood, since Doc Scratch was the one who convinced the kids to reset their universe, it was so that he could be the First Guardian of the post-reset Earth. It would be incredibly satisfying to see Doc Scratch be beaten at his own game, so I'm actually kind of hoping that's the case. Assuming he does get beaten, of course.

CidGregor posted:In response to this and the ten other answers like it, I was more asking what it might mean thematically from a storytelling perspective that mom and bro keep their namesakes but Jane and Jake do not (since previously people had wondered if ALL the reset kids might have somehow taken/been given names of known villains or what have you), as opposed to the literal reason for it. Well, their last names already fit with the 11 letter long names for one. (Egbert and Harley are 1 letter away from that.) That's probably why their names were changed in the first place, though obviously there are other story reasons for the change as well.

Dolash posted:Is Hussie going to do Jake's panels next, or one of the two unrevealed reset guardians? Part of me thinks the whole selection thing was a joke because of how it pointed out that you can't select the ones with "??" or ones with panels that aren't done yet. That only leaves Jane, and it would be Hussie style humor to keep it that way. I hope it does loop back to Jake, though. Either way, the character select screen will probably be used for reals later on even if it isn't now.

Another bit of information that was confirmed in that pesterlog (botherlog?) was that Jane has indeed had attempts on her life as theorized before, explaining why Dad doesn't let her outside.

Robo Pope posted:What I wanna know is what's gonna happen with the prototyping of the imps and other enemies. We know that prototyping carries over into other sessions because of Jack, but when the kids show up in the guardian session, will there basically be two different sets of possible prototyped imps running around, or will things merge into a mix of prototyping from all 8 kids? Somewhere in the Seer: Descend flash it said that it was possible to add more orbs to a ring, so the pre-scratch kids might just end up adding their prototypes to the post scratch kids session. Of course, First Guardian prototyped Black King and Queen would still be hard to deal with this way. Better than Jack having it though, I suppose.

Ammat The Ankh posted:Where does it talk about this? I thought God-Tier was just one level above all others, where you have increased abilities and can only die a just or heroic death. Vriska said in [S] John: Enter Village that there were multiple god tier levels, and also implies that despite what she says, she didn't actually get all the levels. She also says (in a different update) John would end up stronger than her, presumably because he goes further in the god tier echeladder.

Seoinin posted:I think Doc Scratch mentions that one of the reasons Vriska even stands a chance against Jack is because of all the XP she got from getting the killing blow on the black king. Andrew said one time (after the strife against the first guardian powered imp with Jade) that experience is divided depending on who participates in the battle, much like many rpgs. Which is why John got two level ups after beating his first imp, and Jade got one. (since becsprite was with her) So it wasn't really Vriska getting the killing blow rather than being the only one who can still gain levels at that point. But really, that's such a retarded detail to sperg out about that I feel ashamed just for bringing it up.

On the second panel of this page, before Goatdad rises to the surface, the waves in the middle make a big :o) Gamzee smiley, no? I mentioned it earlier on the page, so yeah you're not paranoid. It's the same type of lusus Gamzee had so it's definitely intentional. Edit: Well, earlier on the last page now. You get what I mean.

It'd be nice if there were a strife flash, especially since the last one was almost almost a year ago at this point. But like Chunky I doubt there will be one, especially after the fake crabdad strife. (I know that was a callback but still) Also obligatory "gently caress yes, Homestuck Book One!"

I've missed the echeladder jokes. The next level on the ladder is kind of ominous, though. It could just mean she has no genetic parent thanks to weird ectobiology poo poo, but it could also mean Not Good Things for Dad.

Lupus Rufus posted:After rereading some bits in the Scratch intermission, I suspect that we won't see JohnJadeRoseDave again until after the guardian kids enter their own session, likely via JadeJohn busting through RL's fourth wall, and the Green Sun folks just wandering into the session from the furthest ring. UU actually came out and said that they wouldn't meet any of the b1 kids until they're in the game, so yeah. There wasn't anything about how early/far in the game they'd arrive, though. And while a lot of people think UU is suspicious, on this statement at least it doesn't seem like there would be any reason to lie.

Silva posted:I'm not quite convinced on the whole Jane just died thing, that would conflict with pretty much everything UU was talking about. We'll see how this turns out in act6 act 2 then, unless we all fell for the notorious Hussie psyche-out. Well obviously Jane's not dead for good, but her real self could be dead. There's a few ways this could play out. She might become a ghost like the other maid, and her dreamself will be taken to a crypt. Maybe she'll get a robot self as well if this is the case. She also could awaken on Propit and start the whole slow dreamself death thing, which seems more likely. Even more likely than that though, is that Andrew will take this in another direction altogether that we didn't see coming.

I wonder if the kids will god tier in the opposite method their b1 equivalent reached god tier in this universe. That is, the Derse kids god tier using method 1 (that is, the way John and Jade (kinda) did) and the Prospit kids use method 2 like Dave and Rose. Jake has only one life left and Jane probably does as well, so they're probably restricted to method 2. The Derse kids may also lose their first lives but having the b2 kids god tier in opposite ways sounds like the sort of parallel Andrew would employ. Edit: Android Blues posted:Oh yeah, I forgot that! Okay just Gamzee Karkat and Terezi then. And the three other reset kids. Karkat, Gamzee, and Terezi had their dreamselves murdered if you're counting that.

Cleretic posted:I endorse this if when we get there nothing makes sense. Bro is god-tier, Lalonde is a robot, they're fighting alongside three trolls that we've never met, and Ace Dick is their opponent. That would be amazing. What would also be amazing is if Hussie does a fast forward like that where nothing makes sense, then goes "You know what, let's go back to where we left off after all" and then we get to see how that happened.
