Hussie already told him on his twitter, remember? He might have thought it was a joke, but if so then he probably thinks this is a joke too. With no context it just looks like fanart.

But naturally, stupid people will make stupid comments that reveal the truth.

Was the "ps, we makeout" given by the fake Andrew (last name would likely be considered censor bypass) who also tried to tell him about people slaughter everyone while touting Aryans as "superior" within the same post?

If that's the one you're referring to, he would have likely thought it was a joke. Either way though, spoiling the kiss doesn't really seem to have deterred him since he's still posting pages as he reads them, partway into the Intermission now. He seems rather hooked before even hivebent. The pressure of having a lot of people expecting him to read it probably helped him get to this point.

I don't know what all this "the characters don't use their powers to the extent that they could" nonsense is.

Dave and Rose just fully realized their powers and haven't gotten a chance to use them. Before that, Rose's power was just knowing things. Dave has his time travel but he couldn't use it to break the game because he'd be creating doomed timelines. Paradox space would have just broken him, and that kind of puts a damper on what is possible to do with time powers.

John used his powers to drill a hole in a planet that symbolizes the infinite potential of creation, in order to rip out a bomb meant to destroy their sessions that contained two literal universes. Jade had her powers for all of five minutes and managed to shrink down five planets and rip a hole in spacetime in order to transport them, her, and John through the multiverse. If those examples aren't considered breaking the game then I don't know what is.

Of the trolls, only Vriska, Terezi, and maybe Gamzee are in touch with their powers to any extent from what we've seen. Aradia's using hers for other purposes, and I guess you could also make a case for Sollux.

In any case I don't think we've seen the last of crazy bull**** powers.


I don't think you quite understand what 'the winning timeline is the Alpha' means when time travel is involved. It's a literal BS carte blanche.

Actually, if all of Homestuck turns out to be a time loop via the R-Kids creating the pre-scratch trolls, the Alpha Timeline thing makes sense beyond 'Weird Plot Crap' because nothing else can happen due to predestination.

That might be interesting.

Of course I do.

The losing troll session (A1) and losing human session (B1) were both part of the alpha timeline. They were failures, but they had to happen for the story to actually be paradox-free.

Hell, Scratch himself defined the alpha timeline as "the only timeline that boasts exclusive rights to both his birth and his death." AKA the one that resulted in summoning Lord English. Winning has nothing to do with it.

No pre-prototyping confirmed, I guess. At least for one player, but I see breaking that pattern as unlikely. Future theory also confirmed, if I understood that correctly. Assuming the Exiles didn't count as confirmation, which they more or less did.

Also, can't say that I imagined that that would be the Reckoning.

Yeah, those were cool twists. Really weird that she was able to Enter without getting her game item, though. That seems like it shouldn't happen. And instead of answers....Intermission 2 time!

Disappointed by the music in this flash, though.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Also, is there a word equivalent to omniscient on a purely instinctual level? Because that would probably be the best way to describe GCat and Becquerel.

GCat might even possess some sort of actual intelligence. Everything Bec did obviously came out of loyalty to Jade, but GCat's actions seem a lot more...methodical.

Condesce arrives as Jane fails to Enter, takes over the Earth. Dirk and Roxy are from the future when Earth is totally under her control.

Jane's game timer counted down to the Condesce's invasion beginning rather than a meteor strike. After that we saw the "Years in the future" and "But not many" (the latter part in Alternian), where among other things Jane and Dirk existed during that transition.
