ok I just saw someone on the forums repeat thaf gamzee was "red herringed" as a hero of hope so this does actually appear to be a bizarre thing that newgens believe

[dingodad]

I don't think herring anon's trolling. That was a big theory going on during the pauses

I truly can't figure out what you mean... how can there have been "rage red herrings" for Dave when nobody on earth even knew what an aspect was let alone a rage one when Dave was introduced. which pauses do you mean. are you suggesting people thought Dave was going to Switch to the rage aspect at some point late in the comic ?

I appreciate that you understand that Aranea’s cup size is actually foundational to her character. Keep up the good work!

i got in touch with the president i said hey mr obama they're not letting me into the new homestuck forum can we send in the drones? and ever the peacekeeper barack said no we're gonna talk this out and use diplomacy and well idk what the madman did but he pulled some strings and got my email verified and now im posting on all cylinders. so i did the first thing anyone would expect "dingo dad" to do on a homestuck forum and i invited everyone to debate me on topics of gender and roxy lalonde's various abortions. check it out:

i can't explain how but the fact that hussie's design notes for hell tier vriska originally included blue skin totally justifies in my mind john turning green at some point

[dingodad]

sick ass zombie egbert time. What if she is goth and hot too. Just something to think about. (dissolves into slime and vanishes into the grates

(closes my eyes and smiles) i was actually imagining her turning all green skinned and shit like osiris. godddd ancient egyptian crap is exactly how we make lord english possession theory real

if the storm god Set IS here to invoke the story of Osiris' death and resurrection I wonder if one of these weird little kids will have something to do with bringing deadjohn back......

[dingodad]

can i ask what the link is between set and the breath aspect? is it his association with storms?

set and typhon have been thought of as equivalent mythic figures since ancient times! both were storm monsters but also waged war against the king of the gods.

my interpretative eyes also want to see a parallel in the dying-and-rising figures of osiris and dionysus, who were killed by set and the titans respectively. that's not really any reason to associate set with the breath aspect specifically i just thought it felt like it could easily become relevant given homestuck's orphic themes

[dingodad]

Interesting to note is that vrissy isn’t in her available friends, so it’s either before they meet, or in a different client

presumably that's what the cha.os is for, since TC says it's to "integrate all øur separate chat clients"

[dingodad]

true doom anon. but remember since you mentioned karkat that blood red herrings as doom. i dont think we talk about red herring aspects enough. jade got a time red herring, dave got a rage red herring, dirk and roxy geared up for each other's aspects given their life roles, gamzee felt like a waste of hope, stuff like that.

this is some real master class trolling like i really have to kneel out of respect. i didn't know people still did it like this

[dingodad]

[dingodad]

if homestuck had an official mascot would it be karkat or vriska

it would be meeeeeeee 💚

I'm not even sure that the Candy kids are going to have internet browsers. Contrast how true to form the Deltritus session(s) is/are shaping up to be by deliberately ignoring standard Homestuck conventions. Also I feel like I'm going nuts because nobody else is freaking out about Terezi being able to directly speak through the narration (unless she wound up at an exile station... somehow)

Dirk gave her a command terminal right at the beginning! guiding the new civilisations over the course of the timeskip was his intended role for her, though last we heard the idea was that she'd program the machine to make automatic commands in her absence. so we don't know if this was one of the machine commands, or her first real command after emerging from the timeskip, or what

[dingodad]

i guess the question is if the kids will also have ancient egyptian themed browsers or if it will be an earthling/deltritan split

[dingodad]

as someone who’s put a lot of egyptian mythos into your fantrolls how are you feeling about the confirmation of egyptian inspired denizens are you hyped

god. i wouldn't say it's a LOT of ancient egyptian mythos i am honestly not super well read on that area of ancient mythology beyond what's come up while researching my ancient greek shit.

it's always a little exciting to see something new but at this early stage i'm not boggled by anything i haven't already seen broached in fanadventures. i will admit i was very briefly enticed by the prospect of making more denizen fantrolls LOL but i am not expecting the new denizens to be super thoroughly developed especially considering how nebulous most of the canon denizens were left anyway. but it's so hard to predict just how straight the sburb stuff is gunna be played.

i am wondering if all six(?) of the alien kids will have kemetic inspired denizens or if the nymphs will have ancient egyptian stuff and then the satyrs will have something else. cus having just ancient greek and then just ancient egyptian mythology would be an oddity but if you start playing around with THREE separate folkloric backgrounds well then NOW you are cooking with petrol.........

[dingodad]

i didnt consider the possibility of a whole new pantheon of denizens, since the trolls had the same ones as the humans

that aside fair point that set doesnt necessarily mean shes not time, since the only time denizens we know are hephaestus and yaldabaoth, and hephaestus Could be a special case thing in the same way (although given his tied role with echidna in both of them being involved in stoking the forge in viable sessions, and echidna being tied to space players, i feel itd be odd for him to not be a time thing)

the trolls having the same as the humans is exactly my point, Ly’lac’s denizen is such a clear outlier from all the schemes we’ve seen so far that it wouldn’t make sense for her to have Seth and everyone else to just have the same shit we’ve already seen

Hephaestus is way too tied up in standard session shit to be a special case denizen, he’s got the time freezing hammer, the session’s forge is his volcano, etc…

[dingodad]

im interested in ly'lac as a doom hero because then that means the omega kids arent locked into "fuck we gotta use the 4 other aspects the beta and alpha kids didnt use"

whats compelling me towards it too is it just seems theres a Lot of emphasis on the plant stuff which is first brought up under the context of "THE ENDING OF THINGS"

also the ~ATH manual (or at least something alluding to it) under her desk evokes sollux to me (although karkat also did shit with it [especially with the computer exploding bit in her conversation with vrissy])

i do think time would be a good fit too, but seth really throws a wrench in there

having ly'lac be doom as a way to free up some better aspects for the omega kids is a really compelling argument. that might actually get me more into it LOL

seth being her denizen never occurred to me as an argument against x aspect because i immediately assumed that the nymphs would all have their own unique denizens following a shared ancient egyptian theme. never once did i think hs2 would be corny enough to do the fanadventure thing where they just arbitrarily throw characters from whatever mythology into the pantheon of greek denizens. surely they wouldn't
