That's dumb. It wasn't even an argument, and it was over already.

Regardless: updates:

Today we get at least a bit of exposition of the last act, even though it's of the act before the last act, but it's better than nothing I guess. Calling Calliope's name won't work now? Which means the hilarious plan of saying it and having big bad adult Lord English turn into a sweet thing on the dime won't happen.

How disappointing.

No. 22813 ID: 4eb26d

first off, I would like to point to the fact that there has not been a single update that didn't reference a jillion things in years. it's nothing new. in fact, it's old.

Caliborn's situation may be unusual and interesting, sure, but what I'm saying is that said situation has been presented in a most unentertaining manner.

well, it's either that or the fact that the sheer magnificence of the previous updates raised the bar by a fuckton.

Yeah, most of these points are fairly good ways of explaining some of the inconsistencies between Caliborn and Lord English.
Other points to consider are:
-Calliope is the one of the pair that wears a coat, Lord English is heavily associated with his Cairo Overcoat, which I feel would be a certain item that Caliborn would associate with his sister.
-Lord English's presence in paradox space, mainly the dead and a select few classes can act outside of dream bubbles in there. Calliope has been described as being killed.
-Calliope's self-insertion showing distress at the events of the mini-strife flash, as the large number of people gathered there would allow Meena to gather an army which Vriska could use as bait.
-Caliborn's strange self-monologuing, in particular the fact that he feels that his thoughts are being dictated to him, and his feeling of semi-lucidness, to be fair I don't think Calliope is posing as Caliborn, but it is obvious that she is influencing his thought patterns in some way. Lord English required a host to possess and it's possible that a muse could do this to other individuals associated with themselves.

...I really don't think the whole Limebloods being able to change their blood colour is a thing, nor do I think Calliope has that ability either though. Kind of strikes me as a cheap way to explain the posing theory and tie Karkat's persecution in with the apparent threat of limebloods.

>Lord English’s MO is complete and utter destruction of space with no plan and no strategy. First off, Caliborn’s domain isn’t Space - but Calliope’s is. Secondly, he is far too obsessed with strategy and rules to do anything so haphazardly.

What? Come on, why would Calliope destroy her own domain? Rather, it would make sense for Caliborn to do so, to wreck up everything his sister owns, so to speak.

No. 22819 ID: 8d7792

>>22816
its been outright stated the LE is Caliborn, so still trying to figure out his identety is kinda redundant.
plus the reasone he's wercking space and junk is beacuse LE is a grifer, he didnt have any fun in his session, so is determined that no one else will.
alternitavley he's a sore winner, who dosent want anyone else to win as it will lessen his achivment.
>>
No. 22820 ID: f2c20c

>>22816
Counterpoints:
1: Caliborn hates Calliope so it makes sense that he would want to destroy anything related to her, IE Space. Plus, a Muse of Space doesn't destroy space, jeez. Secondly, he likes rules but destroying stuff isn't against any rules. He isn't actually very good at strategy since he lost to Calliope so much. He only one ONE time and that was due to a stupid trick.
2: Who the fuck knows how Gamzee got that laptop, or how Calliope got it? It's probably some crazy time shit, like how Ahab's Crosshairs keeps showing up everywhere. Besides, Calliope NEVER EVEN USED IT. The Prospit connection is tenuous at best since we don't even know the significance of being a Prospit dreamer vs a Derse dreamer. The only difference seems to be that Prospit dreamers can see Skaia and thus get visions of the future. "Calliope" being in the name of Gamzee's theme is coincidence, as a calliope is part of you know, a circus?
3: Calliope mentioning topspin and thus "english" means nothing, since she didn't connect it with billiards. If anything, it was a red herring. We as yet have no indication at all where the pool theme or the name Lord English came from. It's even possible that Caliborn took that name because of Jake's last name! Time loop. Caliborn abandoning "games with idiots" actually fits with Lord English, since he doesn't even play games. He just up and destroys shit. He delegates the game playing to his servants like Doc Scratch.
4: Calliope lying actually makes her less likely to be Lord English, since, for example, Doc Scratch doesn't lie. I'm not sure she ever really did directly lie, though. She compared herself to a troll, but did she say she was a troll?
5: Now this is just silly. Caliborn requested Dirk to draw a lot of 'smut' of Roxy and Jane. That's plenty of evidence that he's fond of ladies.
6: Calliope was writing over the code in the ~ATH book. I dunno about you guys but I wouldn't draw all over a textbook for a programming language that I was using, even after learning it. Who knows where the code on the server came from? Maybe Caliborn had one of the pre-scratch loyalist Trolls write it for him.
7: The Green Sun has nothing to do with Space players. It's the source of First Guardian powers, that's it. It being gold is most likely just due to his pimp theme.
8: He overkilled Hussie. Him having a rifle/wand specibus would compliment Calliope's pistol/wand specibus, so that's a non-issue as well.
9: This is just stupid. It's not a Death Note reference. Also, no fan wants to destroy an author's work to make it their own, jeez.
10: In Lord of the Rings, Gandalf essentially gave Frodo the ring. It's far easier to equate Calliope to a good person through that parallel. Besides, the rings in Homestuck aren't evil. They are just tools.
11: Uh? I don't see how trickster mode is relevant. Also, her chat symbol is associated with healing and space, not tricksters.
12: The switched roles in the book make sense if you take into account that it was written to anger the Batterwitch. Calliope expressed reluctance to kill her brother, and was turning to it out of desperation, not hate. The rainbow drinkers don't change their appearance- they just glow due to a biological trick, and Jade transformed via God Tier/sprite prototyping shenanigans. A Muse of Space's powers would not by any stretch of the imagination include disguises, and besides, there are so many specific details tying Lord English to Caliborn's appearance that it's just beyond ridiculous to say that Calliope is posing as him. Saying that Caliborn is a good guy because his outfit references Doctor Who is also ridiculous.

>>22817
A: Under the coat, Lord English has suspenders, which is part of Caliborn's theme. Also the cairo overcoat contrasts rather heavily with Calliope's tailcoat. It doesn't fit her theme at all.
B: It's easy to travel to the Furthest Ring, but difficult to navigate in it. The dead CANNOT leave the dream bubbles, and Lord English definitely is doing that.
C: Calliope was trying to get them to stop fighting, which would be good for them working together and succeeding in their respective plans. It would be better for Lord English if one of them died, so them fighting is a good thing for Lord English!
D: It's rather clearly been demonstrated that Hussie is the narrator most of the time. Caliborn being aware of the narration is lampshading the thought insertion for humorous purposes. If Calliope as a Muse of Space could influence characters, Lord English's timeline manipulation would be much more difficult, would it not?


Anyway this is all absurd conspiracy theorist bullshit. Lord English has TIME POWERS, not space powers. Caliborn is Lord English because Caliborn is the Lord of Time.

It also only has one direct power, that being opening portals to send things to other places.

It is also the source of universes, which Lord English consumes (and from what we've seen, apparently by means of his sprite, a red and black sphere)

And everything related to the cherubs is framed by the game between the two.

Also, even more than being a passive font, Skaia is the ULTIMATE passive font. It is a source of unlimited creative potential, it just can't do anything with it itself.

The Muse is the ultimate support class.

Yeah pretty much this. Though it remains to be seen why Gamzee even wanted to Godtier-dress up, unless it can give you immortality that way (which is unlikely, given that godtiers can wear normal clothes and still be godtier) and with this update, it's unlikely we'll see an answer.

Maybe.

In retrospect, if he got the codpiece from a dreambubble, it's probable he got the rest of the outfit the same way. Maybe all Godtier troll wings are clipons.

But IDK I don't think Hussie would make a point of showing they aren't connected if we weren't supposed to draw the conclusion that Gamzee's just a big fake.
I GUESS I'LL WAIT AND SEE

>>
No. 22892 ID: eea638

>>22891
Presumably he was killed off by Jack's destroying of Prospit/Derse. We didn't see all the Troll dreamselves die, but it was stated and/or implied that they are all dead and that everyone who is alive (that is, around the time of the trolls chatting to the kids) is either in their body with a dead dreamself, or a dreamself with a dead body. Only Vriska fits that latter category, except for maybe Gamzee because we just don't know.
>>
No. 22893 ID: 1d5849

>>22891
>>22892
It starts to look to me that perhaps Gamzee did go to God Tier after all, merging with his dreamself before Jack had the time to murder it.

After all, if his dreamself had died, then there would be one Gamzee in the afterlife, and there is none.
>>
No. 22910 ID: 6a5a08

>>22893
So either his dreamself came with them and nobody knows, or he's a God Tier. The latter seams more likely, judging by the lack of visible bullet holes in his torso at the immediate present.

As for how Gamzee got to the session, I imagine it's similar to how Roxy's dreamself dreamfloated out of Derse and into the void, then eventually a dreambubble. That would, maybe, mean Gamzee could access a session (such as the Cherubs') the same way.
>>

I actually pretty sure that in the Homestuck universe, clowns just don't die like Hussie(?) says. Beside the Insane Clown Posse Administration, those got killed by BroDave.
>>
No. 22915 ID: c59939

With the whole, clowns somehow don't die "for reasons that basically don't make any sense." thing, it seems most likely that this is just Gamzee's dreamself, who simply managed to not get killed, just like regular Gamzee, and all the Gamzees from every doomed timeline.

Going God Tier would be a perfectly good reason for him to not be dying.

Jade was super useful. John was too once he got his god tier.

...oh god I just realized that dead dreamselves go into the furthest ring just like timeline clones, as evidenced by Jade's initial self-prototyping resulting in the sprite weeping over being separated from her friends out in the dream bubble. Gamzee's dream self is still floating around out in the ruins of the troll session, chopped in half or stabbed or something. Unless he simply evaded Jack somehow? We never saw what happened to his dream self. Maybe there are two Gamzees wandering around doing shenanigans.

Also feels like Hussie is deliberately fucking with us with this whole shipping deal. Not just how absolutely every romance, or potential for such, seen in previous acts ended with one or both side killed horribly, but now we have Jade and Davesprite breaking up, Karkat and Terezi being on the rocks, and as the latest development, Jake and Dirk about to break up with Jane's feelings to the former apparently waned away.

There's no way the alternate Calliope isn't consumed with hatred and spite, directed towards the paradox space in general and this main Calliope in particular.

That'd make anyone mad.
>>
No. 23057 ID: e3f578

Lord English is alternate Calliope, turns out the reveal was that the one where Caliborn takes over was the real doomed timeline.
Here's the thing, Lord English is a villain that presents against Homestuck's main theme, growing up. Alternate Calliope also fits this description along with Caliborn.
There also might even be a timeline where Caliborn and Calliope actually got along, and that's probably the real secret weapon and this altcalli is a red herring or trap of epic proportions.

altcalli could also be the force behind Lord English, if one refers to that log a few months back when they were discussing how villains usually work, with a bad guy behind the bad guy, and how the discussers of that log assumed LE was the top dog, but were curious if he wasn't, and just decided he was anyway arbitrarily because they were tired of this shit.
I doubt altcalli has a bad guy behind the bad guy behind here, but who the fuck knows. It's probably Hussie if there is one. But this time, it probably circles between bad buy behind the bad guy, creating a Mobius Double Reacharound of bad guy behind the bad guy.

Nice catch! I figured they were overlaid like that but didn't realize the reference.

It's worth noting that the symbolism involved here (two snakes biting eachothers tails and entwined in an infinity knot) may mainly be noting that it's a juju resulting from the combination of two jujus. Every juju has a convoluted progression through paradox space, and so two jujus combined would result in a really weird history for that item. That it ALSO has ties to a weird existential novel/movie and a memory-stealing amulet of ultimate power is probably not related to Homestuck. Unless we find that the zilly sucker has a terrible cost in exchange for its power... okay, that's not terribly unlikely.

I suspect the suckers in particular are self-propogating. I'll call it now that the spiral sucker is split later on and the resulting green and red suckers are warped over somewhere/when else to come into possession of the cherub twins. It's an infinite loop.

You silly goose, all these colours are correct.

While John and Dave had their colours in their respective aspects, Rose and Jade didn't.

Also in regards to the previous conversation, everyone has a skaiaborn dreamself used when the real body sleeps, but when that dies (or becomes the main body after the real body dies) then dreamselves happen in dreambubbles instead.

It's the eye colors that determine it. John and Jade traded signature colors at one point as a show of camraderie, so Jane is supposed to be green and John blue. Similarly Dave is red, with red eyes. And Rose is... wearing... color contacts.

Jade's bed was black, with a green spiral in the center. It just had low saturation so it looked white. You can see its color a little in Cascade. The center symbol for the 4 kids was identical to their eye color. John's blue, Dave's red, Jade's green and as I said before Rose is wearing color contacts. Her eyes are naturally yellow.

It's like how Jake's eyes are green, for the green vines of Life. Except Jane is sitting on his bed. They thought they knew which heroes they were, but they were wrong. All wrong.

three more points for the "thats not the real LE!" inasne fan theory, basicalt caliborn is controling some poor shmuk and using him to do all the dirty work while he stays all safe and hidden.
first point is that if LE is full grown caliborn, then where are his wings?
second point is that he hasnt really done anything time related on his own, time players have been shown to no longer need thier fancy gizmos after achiving thier god mode, yet LE is still reliant on his coat.
final point, the use of magic, wich requires a open mind and hope, two things caliborn lacks.

Caliborn doesn't, at least the one where he's with Gamzee. And can't ever merge with the Calliope half like other Cherubs do, making him likely unable to gain full circles.
Lord English is probably Caliborn from a different timeline where he did dominate naturally. So, interestingly, Lord English is a doomed Caliborn like how a dominate Calliope was doomed too.

Andrew brings considerable attention that he's a clown, which means that clowns in general are very tough to kill.

IF Gamzee will die, it will probably be by Dave's hand, maybe with Karkat's help too. Gamzee's fucking with Terezi, so, hey, likely Dave-Karkat Moriall team against Gamzee.

You have to remember though, it was said that cherubs that matured CORRECTLY grew wings

LE forced his predomination and as such stunted his growth, if Im remembering what was said about it correctly. He will not grow wings.

This, thusly, would put him at a disadvantage (presumably) to the alternate Caliope who might be out there that predominated instead and could actually have wings.

It will be a battle of land and sky, calling it.

Okay so, let's see if I've understood this correctly: cherubs hatch in the light of a dying sun, absorb its power when they mature, and return to the black hole later to mate, then find a new sun to lay the egg on.

Assuming the two adult cherubs seen here were the ancestors of Calliope and Caliborn, can SBURB throw those ancestor meteors to an entirely different planet than the ones for the players? Since there's pretty much no way either of the ancestors grew up on Earth, like the players did, in this case.
>>
No. 24070 ID: 57a559

>>24069
Cherubs were never supposed to naturally play the game, which makes Cal/Cal a natural born Cherub over the humans and trolls ecto-clone origins. This is probably because the game can't find a way to kill all or at least most of the Cherubs off in the universe, so they're disqualified. But Cal/Cal did it anyway, so they have the bonus of not making their species extinct while having all the benefits of playing. This implies it's possible for humans to have escaped into suburb that were natural born and never sent to earth on a meteor, I suspect these sessions are ultimately built the same way, with an inert black Skaia. Fedora Freak probably has an inert Skaia, for example.

>>24065
>>24066
He does have full circles for cheeks though. I still have a theory that the Caliborn we know isn't LE because of that, and that LE lost his wings god-of-war style before he went god-tier, or Cherubs have the ability to hide their wings, or LE is stuck between the metamorphosis of the skull-face form and the snake of eternity form because he's tapped into those energies without a mate, which is apparent through the use of the flashy colors that surround LE. The snake form doesn't have wings because it is a giant space snake.

What about the full cheek circles? My theory states that Alpha Caliborn is a red herring, that LE is a doomed Caliborn where he predominates naturally.

Its that timt again! Time for another Insane Rambeling Thoery That Dosent Make Sence!

With the inclusion of robo slick to the Outer-session Party thing theyve got going on, it suddenly struck me how all three of the guys currentley outside have things related to LE and his activitys.

Crazy-eyes slick has LE soul/mind control ands both crazy eyes and love of destruction as well as the super usefull juju.

Robo-slick has the mobster kingpin thing going on as well as the felt, who were suprisingly quick to accept him as leader, and the cane gun.

And finally Dirk has LE's apparant love of puppets and dudes, as well as being the Destroyer of souls, wich is what LE has been doing the whole time...

i cant help but feel this isnt co-incedence..
>>
No. 24297 ID: 011678

>>24296
By apparent love of dudes i mean that so far most of Caliborns "Romantic" aggresion has bee ndirected towards the guys, with his interactions with women bieng limited to either bullying or assigning them extreme subservial roles.
scince cherub romance is purley antagonistic in nature, i feel that he's more into guys then gals.

The stuff with Dirk and Jake feels more like cherub flirting, were he's trying to set the "Mood" so to speak by making Jake his arch-rival.

its why i started out saying i was more then likley wrong :)
it could be im placing more importance on his guiding Jake to be his enemy, to me it felt like his father killing all those people in order to make his mother hate him enough, Setting the mood, ect, whilst his interactions with the girls just kinda felt a little.. impersonal? like he dosent actually care wether they hate him or want to fight him.

thinking about it i could have misread what is supposed to be another sign of his lack of emotional growth, it could be he's still in the "Girls are stupid!" phase of childhood..

He knew ahead of time that Jake would beat him, so he was making sure he at least had a hand in getting Jake to be strong enough to do so.

Huh, i must have missed that bit, the only time i rember him saying he was flirting with her was, i think, just a lead up to a insult about her weight "Like a girl with meat on her bones ect ect".

Also i was working under the impresion that, like the trolls, cherubs are sort of omni-sexual due to thier genders being totaly identical to the point that the males can be fertalized with the egg. so he isnt gay by human standards, theres only one person in the whole thing we know for sure is Human style gay, and were not all that certian about wether rose fits any label yet.

Im going to have to resist the urge to use that in normal conversation now. "oh thats steve, he's gay, Human style."
>>
No. 24317 ID: 2eac65

>>24316
Cherubs aren't really identical except when they're young. The two in Aranea's story had clearly different body types. It's also been said that a cherub will seek out a mate who is similar to their missing sibling. I'd guess that cherubs are heteronormative, like most species, and that it requires a combination of male and female gametes to produce an egg, though either parent could carry it afterwards.
>>
No. 24318 ID: f595d3

>>24317
aahhh i see what may have threw me, its the serpents that can only be told apart by a experienced observer.
That and the lack of sexual dimorphism beyond the male having apparently pumped alot of iron up to that point..

Im still on the fence as to wether gender matters to a cherub, as it seems they go by personality/psychology in these matters.
plus they turn into giant snakes that are plugged into reality.. kinda think biology is a moot point..

But anyway, what ever half assed theory was growing in my head has been joshed by the arrival of PM and BN, as they dont seem to have any real connection physically/metaphorically to LE.

LE is fixated on the image of Jake bieng his final fight, and is completely ignoring john, who by total accident has now removed himself (apparentley) from the controll of paradox space.

Dave hasn't used any time powers at all since he reached God Tier, has he?

...wait a minute, as God Tier, doomed clones could only die via the two established circumstances. Therefore, time travel as a God Tier is kinda shitty because you can't usually even create doomed clones because of how the universe works, and would have to rely almost entirely on closed loops, which suck for combat.

Dave must have some other way of weaponizing time as God Tier to make up for this...

No. 25218 ID: c23ab0

Here's how you kick ass via time travel. Go back in time 30s. Join forces with yourself. You both go back in time another 30s. Now there's 3 daves 15min ago. Repeat for an hour. Now there's 120 daves all god tier, who can then go kick the bad guy's ass. The reason this doesn't cause a paradox is the first dave that goes back encounters all the other daves in his past an hour before the fight. Then he goes back before the fight and is dave #2. Then he goes back 30s and is dave #3. Repeat until he's the last Dave. Basically his timeline is folded like an accordion, but not broken.

You can reverse the process similarly, but why would you want to? With 120 alpha timeline daves you wouldn't even need a casting call for SBAHJ the moive.
>>
No. 25220 ID: a23afd

>>25218
Um, no. If you change the timeline in a way that prevents your original self from time traveling, you are now in a new timeline and if you ever return to the original timeline you're a doomed clone. That's a bad thing for God Tier.
>>
No. 25231 ID: c23ab0

>>25220

That's the thing though, your original self isn't prevented from time travelling. They just magically have all these time clones to back them up, then afterwards begin the cycle by going back to be the second time clone. The second goes back to be the third, etc.

And God Tiers are immortal, so you could build up a lot of clones that way...

No. 25234 ID: a23afd

Dude, the way that sequence was set up, the original dave goes back 30 seconds and convinces his earlier self to go back 30 seconds 30 seconds EARLIER, preventing him from going back 30 seconds at the proper time and creating the original clone. That's NOT a closed loop, that's a bunch of timelines stacked on top of eachother, and would actually be full of doomed clones.

True closed-loop time travel clone combat involves your clones always having been there, and you HAVE TO go back in time to live out what they went through. It's not even a choice you can make spontaneously. It's something Dave always saw coming.
>>
No. 25235 ID: c23ab0

>>25234

Yeah, that's what I mean. In normal linear boring chronological order, all the Daves can appear before Dave even considers making time clones. His decision to employ time clones comes after they are employed, effect coming before cause. That's what weird time shit is.

To get a better idea of this, Dave resolves to do one of two things: make time clones in the future, or kill Clover. Since the alpha timeline is always what works out best for Clover, Dave's time clones will appear. All the timelines where he decided not to make time clones, or never saw any time clones are doomed timelines that he never even visits. Clover's just a convenient macguffin for this strategy though, and it can quite well happen without him.

Frankly I wonder if LE will be defeated when he tries to kill Clover.

She was being mind controlled. It wasn't a Just death- Aranea directly manipulated the clock via an ability she really should not have. It would probably require a Prince of Life or Light to do what she did, not a Nymph. A Nymph heals, not kills or manipulates. It showed her eye affecting the clock somehow but according to Vriska all that does is let you see stuff/through stuff that you normally shouldn't be able to. Which also doesn't explain how she could tell Roxy was there without using her eye.

Hussie is just making up bullshit powers for her to have that solve his plot dilemmas as fast as possible.

No, it showed a flash of her eye and said 'lucky br8k,' it didn't show her actually do anything. She was just lucky (as a light player) that jade's death was decided to be just.

>Which also doesn't explain how she could tell Roxy was there without using her eye.

The dead trolls already know what happens at this point in the timeline, as evidenced by the fact that they know aranea isn't supposed to be there.

The only 'made up' power she has been shown to have is making Roxy fall asleep.

Vriska was about to effectively kill everyone on the asteroid by her own choice, of course it was Just. Grimbark's actions didn't have anything to do with Jade. There's NO REASON for the clock to show Aranea's eye unless she had something to do with the decision, so she did.

The dead trolls do not actually know a whole lot about this timeline. Vriska sure as hell wasn't acting on future knowledge. How could they possibly know what happens? I think they just have some vague sense of how things are supposed to generally go, because their living space is in the Furthest Ring.

She was still planning on killing and enslaving countless people, or at least assisting with that and being okay with it. Whether she's brainwashed or not, that's a just death.

Also,Aranea couldn't have influenced the clock (as far as I know). Her control powers only work so far as living creatures. The eye showing up and the 'tough br8k' or whatever was probably just artistic choice, showing that she could at least see the clock stopping where it did, and was pleased with the outcome.

She does have the power to see things like that, after all. Probably. Hell, for all we know, she might just revive Jade and heal her, too, assuming she can.

First off, it's paradox space, not paradise space.
Second, no, that was pretty clearly hussie fucking with us- actually you know what, I changed my mind. BOTH instances of "outside interference" with the clock are just Hussie throwing doubt into the equation to fuck with his readers. However, just like the crowbar, *it was outside interference*. Aranea did something. If she had not done anything, Hussie would've just had "Lucky Br8k" up there, or not anything at all. The eye showing up very clearly lays blame on Aranea. There is absolutely no narrative reason to put it there otherwise. Heck, even the "Lucky Br8k" lays blame on her.

No, it was in the Vriska case (which was warranted), but it wasn't necessarily in this case. You are assuming it was because you think that any of this bullshit storytelling is a change in the way the comic is worked and are mad about it. Everything in the comic has always worked like this. Nothing has changed. This is what homestuck has been for years.

Good Luck is a natural passive ability of Light players.

Hussie has established rules bit by bit, and EVERYTHING has followed established rules. Most things up until act 6 have been surprising because we didn't know the rules. Surprising events nowadays are mostly due to unexpected interplay of the various characters, not because something happened that we didn't know was possible before. An example of that would be the quest beds in the middle of Derse that allow players with dead dream selves to become god tier.

Good Luck isn't a passive ability of Light players, cmon. Light is the element of the "Most fortuitous path", and the only person who has powers that run that way is Vriska- she can "steal luck" from other people. Also, LUCK DOES NOT EVEN EXIST. There is literally no random chance in major events. Essentially, timelines in Homestuck have infrequent major branches but minor choices don't divert from the main timeline at all. Besides, if it was passive, her eye certainly wouldn't have shown up. Are you even thinking about this or just throwing out shit logic to be contrary?

As for how she did it, she messed with the clock with some bullshit troll psychic power linked to her eye, obviously. She already used some bullshit psychic power to topple a goddamn building.

>>25387
She is a Healer of Light. She heals *others* with the power of light or fortune or fate, or heals light/fortune/fate itself. It's a healy light/fate power. Anything that does not fall within that rather broad theme(for instance, keeping a God Tier dead by altering their fate) is something that cannot originate from her Role. Any other powers she has have to be due to her being a psychic troll with a freaky eye, and of course the ring she's wearing.

As a side note, I'm pissed off that Hussie is fucking up his writing, not about the fucking clock itself. That should be obvious. He pulled Aranea out of his ass so he could get himself out of the corners he wrote himself into with Jake and Jade.

Oh, one last thing... Aranea making Roxy fall asleep isn't anything new at all. Vriska did that LOTS of times to Jade.

For someone who likes writing about homestuck so much, you sure don't pay much attention to it.

Why not? It sure was a lucky break for her that Jade's death was just. When has the vision eightfold symbol been shown for a reason other than perceiving something? It obviously isn't even involved with mind control since Vriska could already do it.

The vision eightfold was appearing to show that she was aware that things were progressing according to her plan.

>She is a Healer of Light. She heals *others* with the power of light or fortune or fate, or heals light/fortune/fate itself.

No, she's a sylph of light.

And while a sylph is a powerful healing class, she is also a powerful god-tier character. Idly destroying a nearby inanimate object with a gesture could well be something basically anyone can do at that point.

> He pulled Aranea out of his ass so he could get himself out of the corners he wrote himself into with Jake and Jade.

Name one thing that didn't work within established rules. John's current state doesn't count, as it's due to something that was stated to have reality-altering power.

The 7-fold eye has never just popped up out of nowhere before, sight-related or otherwise.

>No, she's a sylph of light.
Sylph is a HEALER class. There's no indication that god tier characters all get any sort of psychokinetic power. You're just making up shit now to be contrary.

>Wait, you actually think that this is the resolution of things?
Don't be a fucking jackass. Yes, it's the resolution of things- Jake is no longer a blubbering mess(and is powering up because of that), and Grimbark Jade is no longer a threat. Those are the TWO THINGS he wrote himself out of that I referred to.

Aranea not displaying her scorpio symbol when putting Roxy to sleep is probably just a demonstration of how good she is at psychic powers. It's not something that requires continuous effort, you know. It could also just be implied because WE ALREADY KNOW PSYCHIC TROLLS CAN DO THAT.

Everything.

You genuinely do not understand how homestuck works. Hussie doesn't establish rules and then follow them, he does things and then has characters exposit that the rules are what made that happen.

But since you just asked for one example: We were explicitly told that there was one quest bed, until we were told that there were also other quest beds later. And also things just plain worked differently for Aradia because exceptions.

> There's no indication that god tier characters all get any sort of psychokinetic power.

All God Tiers can fly, even if the players previously showed no indication of flight.

>Those are the TWO THINGS he wrote himself out of that I referred to.

Neither of which was solved by anything any more 'made up' than anything else that has ever happened in the story. You're just mad that a boring, terrible character is the one that was doing things at the time. Even by the narrowest interpretation based on what we were told a Sylph of Light could do, powering up Jake (for the moment, since this isn't permanent) is well within the bounds of her abilities. And crushing Jade with the building was just aesthetics, She was helpless and unconscious and could easily have been killed in basically any other way, but it wouldn't have been a wizard of oz joke.

>Aranea not displaying her scorpio symbol when putting Roxy to sleep is probably just a demonstration of how good she is at psychic powers. It's not something that requires continuous effort, you know. It could also just be implied because WE ALREADY KNOW PSYCHIC TROLLS CAN DO THAT.

>Everything
Except absolutely not everything. Yes, Hussie does tend to toss in new things and explain them later, but a lot of things happened because of rules laid out beforehand. Like for instance ascending to god tier in general, since you used that as YOUR example. Before anyone ascended, there were rules for it. The process was clearly described. The Derse quest beds weren't mentioned by the people that told us the rules because hey, guess what? THEY DIDN'T FUCKING KNOW ABOUT THEM. Neither group of players found out about the Derse quest beds before their timelines lost communication with eachother.

>You're just mad that a boring, terrible character is the one that was doing things at the time.
YOU'RE ignoring my argument. The only thing Aranea did that defies explanation is "manipulating" the clock to keep Jade dead. Hussie still pulled her out of his ass because she was never shown to have any sort of agency of her own. Before this she always played a passive role, so it's like he just picked whoever would be the best tool for the job of hurrying things along. It's an obviously unplanned, lazy maneuver. Sortof like Trickster Mode, which was also complete garbage.

>She scorpio'd gamzee.
My point there was that requires continuous concentration, but guess what? The symbol's gone now anyway, despite him still being manipulated by Aranea. So obviously it's not required ever.

Also, Aranea didn't manipulate the clock.

And lamented it.

And started to enjoy actually doing things during the pirate adventure.

And opined longingly about the wonderful backstory adventures and importance of her alternian ancestor existence.

That is a good point and I will concede that she isn't a complete asspull. So I guess you win, Hussie isn't just making shit up. Wait, weren't you just saying he makes everything up? I guess you were just being a jackass.

What made it bullshit? Not being established beforehand? Why can't something be established by being shown instead of having every character saying 'I can do this' immediately before doing it like some sort of silver-age schlock?

>I guess you were just being a jackass.

Yes, everything is made up. In fact, in a work of fiction, even things that ARE foreshadowed or set up are made up. The point about 'everything was made up' was that you were saying you were mad about things that Hussie was 'just making up.' Which is inherently hilarious.

What this has to do with me being a jackass is kind of confusing though.

>You just don't like how it's written and look at it in the most negative light possible, and think that's the only explanation for it. You are wrong.

You just said my explanation of events was correct.

Also I fail to see how understanding that a work has failings is looking at it in 'the most negative light possible,' but I'm also not a teenager any more so that might be why?

>You can't even understand ME, how can you possibly understand Homestuck?

-you- are an inarticulate guy on a forum who is making arguments that are internally inconsistent.

Homestuck is just a very simple story that happens to be long and to have an overreliance on 'plot twists' that occur by changing what is known about the rules of the setting instead of by applying established rules.

>So what?

Does consistency matter or not?

>Yeah, you sure aren't hostile to me at all. You sure aren't bending what I say to make me look bad and talking down to me.

I'm being condescending, not hostile.

> That sure doesn't sound suspiciously like "You mad, bro?" You sure aren't a massive jackass.

Perhaps, and this might shock you, if you weren't insulting me in ways that had nothing to do with the actual argument, you wouldn't come off as looking angry. Just a thought!

Aranea toppling the tower with psyychyk pywyrs wasn't ham handed. Keeping Jane from reviving Jade now *that* was ham handed.
