When the screen goes all Pool Balls in the beginning, there appears to be a pattern of where the unchanging 8-balls go.

Can anyone read braille?

The Handmaid technically lived far longer than anyone mortal ever had the opportunity to. I agree though that if Aradia is an agent of Lord English, she will jump at any opportunity she gets to undermine his plans.

One thing to be mindful of as well is that each of the trolls' fates is reverse-anti-mutual tied to the fates of their ancestors. Because the handmaid spent her life and ultimately died in service of Lord English, her descendant would be fated to break free of any service to which she was shackled.

This is why I think "the most important character in Homestuck" really is Gamzee. Everyone had their ancestor's fate reverse bight them in the rear end (assuming the slave Dualscar had killed really was the Dolorosa) except Gamzee. His ancestor had the Sufferer killed, but instead of Karkat killing Gamzee in return he used his Troll Jegus powers to calm him down, possibly throwing a wrench into the workings of paradox space.

The Grand Highblood didn't kill The Sufferer, it was The Condesce that gave the order. I would say that Gamzee's Ancestor-driven destiny was kind of already fulfilled, in that the Subjugglator pretty much just killed and killed and killed for the rest of his days, Gamzee would go out as a chill motherfucker who overcame his innate, intinctive drive to kill.

As for the Condesce/Feferi, personality differences aside, Feferi being killed before everyone else (with possible exception to Tavros, though the timeline's a bit unclear around that point) and resurrecting Sollux does the job of counteracting Condesce's being the last surviving ancestor and pushing the ψiioniic to exert himself to death.

What many people fail to understand is that Vriska (Vriska) is a universal constant that transcends analogy.

"Get outta here, ball of prototypable material! I got this. Bark bark."

To be fair, had Bec not prototyped itself, Jade's house would have been crushed by the giant meteor. That was the whole point, it needed sprite powers in addition to Green Sun First Guardian powers to protect Jade.

Her quirk is more subtle - she just has some old-fashioned affectations, and of course does the weird Nanna laugh and the buckteeth smiley. It's pretty reasonable on the whole though yeah, but then so are all of the original kids'.

I think Factory Factory was referring to her typing animation. That said, I'm pretty sure all the kids but John type reasonably, but it's been so long since we've seen them type.

Prison Warden posted:

Plus, y'know, that timeline being doomed seeing as how John being dead means that their birth would never take place.

I seriously have no idea where this notion comes from.

Each session's ectobiology fuckery is exclusive to its own session. In the kids' session, John created the kids and their guardians and sent them back in time. In this session, it's reasonable to assume that at some point, Jane will create the new kids and their new guardians and send them back in time.

That's it that's all. John didn't send meteors to other universes, John had nothing to do with the creation of these kids, and there hasn't been anything at all to suggest otherwise. Yes, the roles have been reversed, but that doesn't change anything.

The artifacts that were sent back with the babies strongly suggests that these are copies of the meteors sent by John. Most specifically, the the inscription on the book that's in Jane's own handwriting which we see in the Act 6 flash. It even has all the oil stains from LOWAS.

Chances are this will be explained when it's explained how Jake was able to send Liv Tyler to Jade. I dunno, it seems silly to me to ascribe so much thought to the ectobiology stuff.

On the other hand, I could see Bro's autoresponder running the Sburb client and server applications. Every character interaction will be with the autoresponder. We never see or meet Bro himself, he is just too drat elusive.

I thought he wasn't supposed to be ironic at all.

And while I'm all for gay characters in media or whatever, it still seems slightly out of place. It just seems a bit too overtly sexual for Homestuck (yes I know quadrants but alien sex is different okay)

Dave was all about overt innuendo. Reread the first few acts.

I think it's the hair. Something about Dave's hair just screams "trans man" at me.

I've never seen Arrested Development, but my friend tells me Bro sounds a lot like David Cross's character from that. Given he's a poster on Jane's wall and that quote is lifted almost verbatim, I guess there's some influence going on. Being ambiguously gay might be a thing with Bro.

Whaaat? No. Not even a little. Your friend is so far off base, he can't even see the base from where he is. Where's the base?

Shrug! That quote sounded the same-ish.

The thing is that Tobias is hilariously lacking in self-awareness. That doesn't come through very well in that Youtube you posted, but the whole point is that he says all these things without realizing how gay they sound. If there's one thing that Bro isn't, it's lacking in self-awareness.

Totally loving missed that. Cheers.

As for the book, I'm just gonna sit tight and wait for the canonical explanation. All this speculation on something that will almost certainly be laid out in clear terms in the future is giving me a headache.

For all we know, John arrived in this universe, de-alchemized the sassacre hammer, and then sent a brand new book back in time at some point.

You know what continues to be one of my favourite moments in the story? Just before the Scratch interlude, when Dave and Terezi are discussing Bro's passing and the pending conflict with Vriska, and suddenly AR starts commanding Dave.

True but I think the first Jane and Jake chatlog plus Jane's insistence that Mom Lalonde back off make it pretty clear there are some romantic feelings going on.

Similarly, it's a safe bet that Jane will be the maid of life:

We'll probably be able to figure out Lalonde's and Strider's roles from their intro pages this same way.

Wasn't the popular theory not too long ago that the new titles would fill in the gaps left by the dead trolls? (Thief, Rogue, Page and Prince of Heart, Hope, Life and Void)

I hope Bro's Shades become a player too, so we can have Doom.

Everybody forgets Sollux!

Sollux' status is as yet unknown. Yes, he started bleeding out when he piloted the meteor from the veil to the Green Sun, and Aradia did say that it was his body they'd be bringing with them, but we don't know how much of that came to pass OR what role the version of him that's chilling out with Aradia is to play.

What I'm saying here is that we don't know for sure that Sollux is dead.

Some more tumblr questions, answered.

My favorite is how the troll he identifies with the most is Gamzee as they are both wanton killers

My favourite is also Gamzee related. Some Vriska fan QQing over Vriska having to die while Gamzee gets to hug it out, his answer is that it's funnier this way.
