CHUMHANDLE BREAKDOWN (spoilers for the Latest Homestuck: Beyond Canon Upd8!)
Chumhandle Breakdown
THE OLD STUFF
thespiansGlamor = Harry “Harry” Anderson
glutinousGymnast = Tavros “Tavvy” Crocker
adamantGriftress = Vriska “Vrissy” Maryam-Lalonde
THE NEW STUFF
recidivousGainsayer
Recidivous is “tending to relapse or having relapsed”
Gainsayer is “One who contradicts or denies what is alleged; an opposer. A person who gainsays others; a disagreeable person.”
A relapsed opposer? And also…they don’t follow the pattern of DNA strands, as R is not in DNA strands (I don’t think.) May be important, may be not too important.
gavageCunctation
Gavage is “the administration of food or drugs by force, especially to an animal, typically through a tube leading down the throat to the stomach.”
Cunctation is “the action or an instance of delaying; tardy action”
So…tardy force-feed? I have no idea what this one is referring to. It *might* be Yiffy, because of the whole “animal” emphasis in the definition, but I have no idea what “force-feeding” has to do with her personality. Tardy might work for her, because she literally was only introduced after the epilogues. INTERESTINGLY, they are already ready to chat, despite not having any bars in the beginning of this upd8 except for her jail bars.
(I have no idea if what I just wrote above makes sense, so please tell me if ANY of these things make sense or if I'm just losing it over nothing.)

HS re: p615-625
It was great to see Karkat and Meenah interacting in earnest.
It's really something to see them hit it off so well. I suppose the fact that Karkat is now older and a bit grittier has done worlds to Meenah's willingness to let him lead.
Also, as an aside: it's funny that Meenah's Jake handler in the resistance. She gets to boss an English around as cosmic retribution.
Great to get a better look at Karkat's inner turmoil too. Just to get confirmation he's still the same guy at heart.
Leaving his mic open during heartfelt confessions is so on brand.
It's fitting that that's what endears him to his followers.
Seems close to how some of his most embarassing moments as leader of his session were easily forgiven by the other trolls + what ultimately served to help win the session.
I can't shake the feeling that all of the population of Earth C is just a wee bit too eager to follow their pantheon in everything unthinkingly.
Devotion on par with carapaces unflinchingly following their royalty into war in the Medium, with a few notable exceptions.
Loving the Metal Gear Solid meets Suicide Squad asthetic that Karkat and his elite squad has going on there.
I'm assuming of the trolls in the LOBsTERs, there's one highblood and one lowblood.
Sollux is, funnily enough, the best for Earth C in behaviour.
Just minding his own, most of the time.
His latest disability wouldn't be at all stopping him from being worshipped, if he at all wished it.
If it weren't for James' newspost, I would have figured the next page could already be a flash, but seems it might have to wait until Jane's army's arrived at the Meteor.
Still not sure what the effect of the Plot Point will be.
We've got a few things up in the air.
It's going to make the Candy timeline relevant to the overal plot - which could mean a connection, portal or transportation effect to the Meat timeline.
It might be connected to the machine underneath the curtain that Dirk's transporting.
If it's a Sburb game disc set, can you imagine the brawl that could play out over who gets to play?
Then again, the way the Candy kids are a set of four, them connecting to Dirk & Rose's players might result in an eight-player session to mirror the B2 merged session.
Wild theory I came up with: what if it's Aradia's version of the Beat Mesa, an other version of the music crystals that Damara used to scratch the A1 session?
Aka what if the Candy timeline has to be scratched to validate the Meat timeline as the 'true' timeline?
In that case, there's probably a portal for the Candy kids to escape through, too. Assuming the Candy timeline would be erased by a scratch, it's not a session, after all.
The only reason B1 Earth got evacuated by the carapacians were the imminent Red Miles - even though he was only out there to send them because he escaped the B1 session as it was being scratched, so, ehhhh.
Also, assuming Candy Universe C gets scratched, would that mean that in their version of Deltritus had Sburb portals opening up across the planet already, too, or not, you think? Probably not due to the effects of the black hole, but it’s fun to think about.
In any case, whatever's there, the implication is that the seed for it got carried over from the A2 session.
Meaning Sburb/Sgrub has had this planned for a long, LONG time already.
