June 2014

This information is awesome and I am so excited to have it!

Like, so far it seemed like the roles and aspects were pretty straightforward. Or I guess it wasn’t, but I assumed it would make sense later. Now, though!

So I guess now it makes sense that Eridan was the prince of hope, since prince means destroyer and he really, really did that. And I guess Gamzee was the bard of rage, if by eating the slime he was inviting the destruction of that rage, right? 

Oh my god, UU writes essays about how they think humans reproduce? That is almost adorable. 

Sooooooo. That’s UU’s symbol. And he’s got grey skin, and since this is Homestuck I’m guessing that’s not just artistic license or book covers being weirdly colored. I don’t see any horns though. 

The chess match obviously refers to the Skaia battles, so I assume in the future we’ll see the king (the white king is the one we like, right?) die and the fight somehow continue.

!!!!!!!!!

Bec’s DNA code thing was written in a journal of all MEOW, so I am assuming a journal of BARK is God Cat!

Oh hey there’s the, uh, person from the book that had UU’s symbol on it, with two snakes twining around them! I wonder how they’re related to UU.

Also I notice that Roxy has two ~ATH viruses on her computer. That can’t be good.

Awwww! Dirk is going to tell Jake he likes him! That is so fucking adorable.

“A complete disgrace of tropical fruit erupting from the peach of an unassuming domicile”!!!!! Just another line from this comic that I absolutely love.

I totally thought the auto responder was just being homophobic! Not that he was somehow dropping hints!

Now I feel really bad for auto responder and definitely do not want to throw him in a glass of water. Poor guy. Human mind in a pair of glasses. Crushing on Jake.

You guys would not believe the loud gasp I let out when I reached this. I actually grabbed my face. Poor Jaspers/Frigglish! You poor thing, God Cat really fucked you over.

Oh.

My.

God.

Hahaha very funny. Cat got crushed to death. Foreshadowed early on. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Well this seems significant!

Is Jake about to eat an apple, and Dirk about to hatch an egg?

Says the girl who just used the void to jump from one part of her house to the other. And seems to have such portals set up all over. Gosh.

Of course Roxy would say lollies outie. She is starting to grow on me something fierce. And what a good friend she is!

I think Jane’s chances with Jake just got a heck of a lot better.

WHAT THE.

Her horns make me think of Vriska, but she has fangs and…

She’s super adorable.

I guess I was wrong, Dirk and Jane’s chances both just got a lot worse.

Jane wtf is going on, what are these words coming out of your mouth?

Maybe something is protecting her from telling her ectobiological brother that she’s into him.

Another robot tearing out their heart and pounding it into nothingness, huh? Jake is talking about being into Dirk, so why is the robot flipping out? Man.

Christ, Jane, take a second and pull yourself together! Take a deep breath, the world isn’t ending…yet.

FUCK YES WHITE QUEEN, YOU HIT HIM WITH THAT SCEPTER!!! Damn that is hot.

Damn, God Cat, you suck. Is there no one you have allegiance to? Poor miss Lalonde.

Now the Condesce is possibly the Batterwitch and also possibly the Black Queen. I’m impressed, how does she even find the time?

Oh shit oh fuck oh shit oh fuck. God Cat, what did you dooo? D: Why would you do that to poor Roxy?!

Oh shit. That doesn’t have enough hair to be the Condesce, so…Feferi? 

At least Roxy isn’t tumbling downward forever, and she’s in the void, which is her element! Right? 

NOT FEFERI.

MUCH SCARIER THAN FEFERI.

RUN, ROXY! RUN!

!!!!!!!!!!

So it looks like now we have two trolls! One with the Caduceus symbol, and one with the Ophiuchus symbol. Also I just discovered on Wikipedia that the Caduceus/rod of Asclepius can be the symbol for the asteroid Hygeia.

So Ophiuchus the constellation represents the god Asclepius, who was raised by a centaur and could bring people back from the dead. Hygeia was his daughter and goddess of health. Considering the number of dead characters we have, this is potentially v. important information!

I CARE. I CARE! Goddamnit, go plug it in, Dirk! Roxy needs you!

I hope Dirk is as good a swordsman as his brobot, if the Condesce is coming after him.

I am super curious to know where he(? I’m going with he for the moment, due to mythological symbolism) is. Desolate rock, huge amount of corpses? Like, is he on Alternia (or some alternate Alternia, heh) after the Vast Glub? 

I feel like the title Complacency of the Learned is going to be very apt for the other UU. We do continually see characters who know they totally know what’s going on, and then it turns out they don’t and it doesn’t work out so well for them. 

I KNEW IT. I KNEW LI'L CAL WAS TERRIBLE SOMEHOW.

Fuuuuuuck. 

Mind: blown.

Going to the roof didn’t turn out so awesome for Dave, Dirk. Maybe you should reconsider. 

Oh shit oh shit I recognize that peg leg. Fuuuuck, what is he doing in meta-robot land? Nothing good, I bet!

Oh my god, Eridan’s outfit. I know he always looks angry but I really understand why he looks angry in that shot!

So Feferi is either healing or resurrecting WV? He looked dead, but I guess if anyone could bring him back it would be the witch of life.

Damn, Karkat needs a hobby.

Doesn’t it basically not matter, anyway? The alpha timeline will be whatever is the right one, and the other timelines will be created and then will resolve themselves, so even with all of that the point is to do what you think is the right choice. 

It’s like staring into a mirror with a mirror behind you, and every goddamn reflection hates every other reflection.

Karkat really needs to stop talking to himself. Can’t he go get Gamzee to moirail him?

God, Kanaya/Gamzee would be a terrible kismesis. 

Kismet fish!

So, now we know where UU probably got her information!

Also aw, Kanaya is saying that because she used Rose’s GameFAQ. And fell in love with Rose through it. Aww.

Well, I suppose you could say most takeovers would be more insidious than Jack’s. Murdering the king and queen aren’t exactly subtle. But the assassinations…She’s got to be talking about Jake’s dreamself’s death and the attempted murder of Jane, right? 

I guess now I can’t say that the kids never had a chance, they were going to fail anyway so it didn’t matter that their session was barren. Fucking predestination. 

VOID SESSION.

Oh em gee! We’ve been talking all about the void and now we have a void session? 

FUCKING GOD CAT. I am no longer team God Cat. 

I’m pretty sure I saw towers on Derse and Prospit, though. Was I looking at the wrong towers?

What. The. Fuck. 

How did he even get there? How did he manage to get the kings to be still long enough to get explosives all over them? Seriously wtf are there no guards for the kings to stop this from happening or was it so unthinkable there was no point? What is that even going to do?!

!!!!!!!

Jade has their battlefield, and the planets that orbited it. And fancy that, that nice Derse agent just made space for them!

…Now the question is, is that part of the Batterwitch’s plan? 

Yaaaaaaay! Earth is going to be okay!

So does that mean that like, for void sessions the universes are allowed to live out their existence? That is good to know.

Holy. Shit. 

I think this may be the biggest time related mind screw yet. Seriously, 400 years in the future? Sooo they’re living under the reign of the Batterwitch. Poor guys. 

I love Dirk, but man, Dave is going to be so disappointed (or maybe pleased) when he meets Dirk, the regular guy who unironically loves Rainbow Dash. He’s not exactly a master of irony. He’s just good at faking it.

Karkat talking to Dave about Terezi was amusing, but in an annoying way, but oh my god, Karkat offering Dave a cheesy romance novel and then Rose stealing it out from behind him is just perfect.

Look at her face! Her expression is amazing! I bet she’s gonna have Kanaya read it to her. And go over the steamy parts twice.
