This is probably obvious, but look at the bow tie. Or should I say, bow ties.

You mean the last panel? I think that's just the green light reflecting off of it. But yes, very Doc Scratch looking there.

This is the chain you shackle to your other leg when you're about to go to sleep. You are the only one who is able to unlock it.

So much for any remaining inkling I had that UU and uu being in the same body was too obvious.

He tends to churn out character introduction pages fast. Using sprites probably helps the speed. I think I remember him saying it takes longer to make the sprites instead of doing a normal drawing, but he can reuse sprites which helps with that issue.

I finally believe it. This is not butter. And I know deep down in my heart that I must become butter atheist.

At this point, it would be a bigger twist for UU and uu to not share a body.

There never was a post. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus.

Probably incorrect prediction: UU's juju is the bunny.

Saw this theory earlier: uu is an earlier LE, who made the peg leg after he cut off his own leg to escape from the chain. The peg leg is where UU's chain is, right?

Graveyard stuffers.

Earlier they mentioned that they both jujus needed to be brought together to have any power...

Maybe the pool balls that make up Lord English's eyes?

pegleg is on the right side on LE which is where uu's shackle probably is thought of this idea where he blew his own foot / ankle off to escape

hey quick question why is the shackle on UU's right ankle now when it was on her left ankle?

The sprite is flipped. Remember back in the very first intermission, Slick did the same thing to get the barcode on the correct arm.

Sprite flipping.

Remember in the intermission where the bar code on Slick's arm got torn off and he just sort of...turned around and it was on his intact arm? Yeah.

Neither is the fact that you both share a body.

I mean come on.

When Calliope was talking about going out and looking at the sun, I figured it was going to be the green sun.

I wasn't expecting a... red sun.

Is it still the green sun? Would that mean this is far, far into the future?

From: Paratroopa1 | #325

Huh, interesting, random wild thought I had.

What if this is the same sun, but it's red when Calliope is out and green when uu is out?

Learn to astronomy guys

This is just a plain old red supergiant, of which millions exist even in our own galaxy.

It could be Alternia's sun in the future, but certainly not the Green Sun or Earth's sun(which is too small to become a supergiant).

...This is Homestuck, you realize?

Also there's a whole red/green theme going on with uu and UU. It's clearly related in some way.

So, you're saying UU and uu are in the Furthest Ring somehow? And yet they're not in the game? And despite time not existing in the furthest ring, this sun has gone red giant and is at the end of its lifespan?

Dude, seriously.

This is just a normal star, and will function as the Cherubs' incentive to enter the game because it's about to blow up.

We don't actually know it's a red giant at the end of its lifespan. It could, you know, just be a red colored star. Homestuck isn't exactly known for being scientifically accurate.

This is just a normal star, and will function as the Cherubs' incentive to enter the game because it's about to blow up.

It could, you know, be both. Or neither. But it clearly is related in some way, whether as a counterpoint to it or as the same thing later on, ESPECIALLY with the red/green opposites point.

Let me ask you, when was the last time Hussie introduced something like this that has such an obvious correlation to something that already exists that WASN'T relevant?

"Dude, seriously."

Ugh, some of you people are just so tiresome in your lack of understanding. How can we have a meaningful discussion going when some of us have to spoonfeed the rest constantly?

FROM THE LATEST UPDATE:

"Your world is so old, its star is reaching the end of its life cycle. It may collapse any day now."

My new (and probably incorrect) theory on the meaning of the sun: The Red Sun represents Calliope's life span since the sun is about to die and she is most likely never waking up again and the Green Sun represents uu's/LE's lifespan since it was just created and uu is most likely going to take over their shared body so it is a new life for him and the Green Sun broke LE's seal bringing him back from wherever he was.

But the Green Sun always existed, since the beginning of time.

I understand what you mean though. But regardless, the colours are wrong.

I could think of a dozen ways the colors being wrong would not matter. Enchantments, something about a kind and queen switching, a potentially artistic statement, hussie being hussie, etc etc etc

Yeah, I agree that there is some symbolic statement being made here. This sun itself won't be related to the Green Sun or anything like that though.

Most likely not. Unless it is the green sun at the end of its lifeapan or something :p

It's obvious that he was "voiding" out everything related to Lord English and himself in the book, using Equius' blood. Probably because Doc Scratch knew UU/uu would end up with the book.

Similarly, we can probably assume that the reason limebloods were hunted to extinction was because Scratch was overseeing Alternia, and UU has lime colored blood...

From: SantaRPG | #339
technically that book didn't exist yet, so it probably wasn't that.

Gamzee did have Aradia's time thingies though. Maybe he messed around with time or something? Don't know how he could do that, but just a thought.

--
Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi
<sneaky beeping>

You guys are forgetting that if uu becomes Lord English, he will have more than enough time to discover the book, then go back in time and take action.

Yeah, but that still leaves open the question of what Gamzee did for Doc Scratch prior to Cascade. (Unless you mean that LE specifically brings the book back in time for Gamzee to redact.)


--
You put your RESOLVE HAT back on, which conveniently is the same hat as your NORMAL HAT.
{Drakeryn}

It might not amount to anything at all. We've known Scratch was in contact with Aradia since the end of Hivebent and we never figured out specifically what he was doing there, either. Until it comes up in story I personally am just going to dismiss it as Scratch's generic machination bulls***.

He was also talking to Kanaya, that didn't turn out to be relevant either.

Of course, Gamzee is the only male character he's spoken to (besides Karkat, briefly), so maybe there's something to that? But I wouldn't bet on it.

Speaking of red herrings and things written off - has anyone thought about AR's Delirious Biznasty programs and their significance yet? Think it might be a joke, or is there something more to it? They've been prominently called out by several characters, after all.

Twostuck, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/62168402

Yeah, I guess so.

To be honest though, my first thought when seeing the book was that Gazmee/the kids were manipulating them into "creating" Lord English not as a result of any of Scratch's plans, but because it's something they have to do anyways due to causality and whatnot.

Kind of like how Vriska gave Bec's powers to Jack because she wanted to be the one to both create and kill their greatest enemy (though it turned out it wasn't just Vriska who was responsible for that). The kids want to stop Lord English, but first, they have to make sure he exists. But it could go either way. I'm not sure if Scratch would trust the most volatile troll to do his work, but who knows, maybe it does tie in with his crazy religion!
