Who's Retconning?

So the update's pretty exciting! Happy 4/13, it was a real good one. I'm very excited that Jake and Jane are on the Meat ship now, mainly because A) Jane being there means that permadeath is less likely for everyone, including Dirk and B) Jake is Dirk's biggest weakness and I want him to fuck that twink up.

That said, I've noticed the most popular understanding of this update seems to be that Vriska's doing retcons. I can understand why, she's certainly involved and doing a lot, but I disagree. I think what we're dealing with here is Vriska collaborating with Jasprose...and also June, who is the one doing the actual retconning.

Let's do a little bit of visual analysis of the imagery in this update so I can explain why.

First things first, let's consider the power we've been shown Vriska has gained here. Her ascension seems to have enabled her to travel through space at the speed of light, or even faster somehow--fast enough to escape the boundary of the black hole that divides Candy from Meat-- achieving the impossible, since not even Light can escape a black hole-- and then cutting through who knows how much Space to get to Deltritus practically instantly.

But there's a problem there. As fast as she is, Vriska is still depicted as traveling. She is moving in a trayectory across space and time.

If Vriska could retcon, doing this wouldn't be necessary for her at all. She could simply warp instantly from one location to another, like John warping into the Masterpiece. He doesn't *come into* the Masterpiece from anywhere--he's not there one moment, and in the next moment, he is. It cuts out the idea of travel entirely.

If Vriska is trying to get to Deltritus as efficiently as possible, and it sure doesn't look like she's wasting any time, then it doesn't really seem like John style retcons are an option for her.

The other thing that people are pointing to as a Retcon is Vriska burning John's farewell letters to his friends, with some even assuming this means she's retconning his death entirely from the beginning. I find this unlikely, because it would change Terezi's character arc and motivations considerably and a lot of weight has been put on the corpse in her wallet modus.

But honestly, it doesn't even look like she retconned the letters. It just looks like she outright destroyed them. There's still fire and scorch marks where they were laying--there's still a mark that they existed. Reducing something to ash isn't the same as making it like it never existed at all.

I think there's an alternate possibility, too. If the hellfire is a new manifestation of Light specific to Vriska, then she could have stolen the letters through Light instead. At the moment, most of Meat's cast doesn't even seem to know what happened to John.

What would happen if Vriska put John's letters, now abandoned completely since not even Jane and Jake are on Earth C to pick them up otherwise, in all their hands? It seems like a good way to get everyone organized and motivated to help John.

And Vriska probably isn't thinking about the Candy timeline folks, but what if John's letter to Jade reached Candy Jade, for example? There could be a lot of narrative utility and emotional catharsis in a beat like that. So I think it's likelier she just took them than that they're retconned out of existence.

Now don't get me wrong--Vriska definitely did something to the Meat crew. She's the one causing that turbulence, after all, and whatever she's doing definitely involves her powers. But her powers are also very, very visually distinct, in a way that conflicts with the idea that she's the one who put Jake and Jane on the Meat ship.

Because the narrative goes out of its way to show us this panel of Jasprose, and the wisp of blue depicted here looks nothing like the dark blue lasers and hellfire that Vriska manifests.

Instead, it looks very distinctly like a wisp of air, J00N's breathy blue.

As if June was just standing in front of her, and whisked out of the scene with Jane and Jake in tow, leaving her alone in Midnight City.

This is as Jasprose expected, of course. In her 666 conversation with Davepeta, Jasprose outright says that she's made progress improving Jane's politics, and that while Jake is still heartbroken over Dirk, she's confident she can bring out his latent heroism before "curtain call"--in other words, before it's time to take the stage where it's relevant.

Jasprose told us this was going to happen ages ago. She's been preparing Jane and Jake for it this whole time. So Catnapped's arc hasn't been retconned--it's simply been concluded, and this panel is signaling to us that Jane and Jake have just left her neck of the woods and departed for the Meat Ship plot.

So again--if Vriska's responsible, then why not her standard blue light and hellfire here? Why this wispy, breathy blue instead? If that's just meant to be smoke from her pipe, then why the breathy blue at all? Wouldn't a noir-ish grey make more sense?

Here's something to consider: We've already seen June Egbert exists at some point in the future. Whether she's a revived Meat John or a Candy John that has broken out of the black hole, as the most fully realized version of herself, she will almost certainly reclaim her Retcon power anyway.

To be honest, it's such a unique and character specific ability that I'd be pretty surprised if Vriska just happened to get it through helltier too. It just seems like a strange ability to give to multiple characters, though I suppose its not impossible. What it would be, though, is a little redundant.

If June exists and has retcon *ever*, even far in the plot's future from our perspective, then she can by definition go back in time to fuck with the plot at any time, in any place, retroactively. We may not have seen June directly yet, but it makes perfect sense that her touch would be felt:

She is already here.

Lastly, consider that if this Jake & Jane retcon on the Meat Ship is a product of Vriska, June and Jasprose collaborating to bring about a tactical timeline change, that paints a much stronger picture than if its just Vriska dominating the plot and taking charge of everything herself as is her traditional route.

It would speak to an increased ability to engage in genuine teamwork and coordination with equals on Vriska's part. I like that better for this new phase of Vriskaing. After all, she's normal now. She doesn't have to do everything by herself.

Women and our interests have always been associated with conservatism, it seems. The concept of 'pearl clutching' is an allusion to women being offended over modern and liberal sensibilities.

I suspect this is because whenever men want to reduce the damage of their rape and violence, they don't know how to do it outside of highly restrictive societal construction. As they are incentivised to ignore the root of the problem, they will always 1. project it onto women, 2. deflect with scapegoats, and 3. create strict social rules in the hope that they can at least make the violence happen elsewhere, or have it hidden from view, so they don't have to look bad, or feel bad, about what they are doing to women en masse.

Conservatives, for example, oppose pornography because they, like the pornographers, believe that sex 'corrupts' women, and they don't want their own female relatives to be corrupted. Meanwhile, feminists oppose pornography because of the material violence committed by men against women within it. But men cannot percieve that women have our own reasoning, so they assume we must align with the male 'conservative' viewpoint. They do the same thing the conservatives do and deflect a male problem - belief that sex, interchangeable with rape, is sinful - onto women, who recognise that there is a difference between consent and rape and simply wish to not be raped.

Women's recognition of moral horrors and our desire to minimise them/be shielded from them is considered 'pearl clutching' because men do not take our claims or morality seriously. They have decided that the violence is a necessary evil, and that morality is not simply a recognition of material harm, but some ethereal and symbolic 'greater good'. The horrific damage caused by men is a nuisance that must be stratified and organised. When this damage is criticised by women, it is understood to be a roundabout way of addressing the same concerns that the conservative man has - and the very fact that women care about actual harm, and therefore we have an emotional investment in the topic, is used as further proof that we are frivolous, unserious, and incapable of making the hard decisions required for leadership. Men, you see, already know that their violence is a problem, and conservativism has its ideological solutions, so everything women say and get upset about is not only redundant but either hysterical or manipulative. The idea that women simply care is never taken into account - because we're all raised to conceptualise the world from a male point of view.

Men have said that prostitution is bad because it corrupts women, so 'swerfs' must secretly agree. Men have said that maleness and femaleness are inherent essences and that the 'feminisation' of society will cause its downful, so 'terfs' must secretly agree. Women are denied a voice at every turn, always assumed to be parroting a much more emotional, manipulative and hysterical version of what men have always said.

I love the Locked Tomb series, when the Third were introduced I was seriously thinking that the reason Ianthe was so thin and sick was prion disease. You know, from munching on people. This was one of my original headcanons, I honestly thought I was one step ahead the plot until the finale happened.

Even if it's not the case, I'm still curious how Third necromancers avoid getting it.

This is kind of a theory post but bare with me.

(cw: cannibalism, illness)

There is a prion disease called Kuru that spreads via cannibalism, especially by eating the brain. But there are other prion diseases that a person can get infected with and they spread by consumption of meat or coming into contact with an infected animal. In this post we assume that the most common of these diseases in the Locked Tomb universe would be Kuru, because of all that cannibalism, we can also assume that it can be inherited from the mother.

This would have heavy and fairly interesting social consequences on the Third:

There is not really a treatment. If you get it, you have it, forever - unless the necromancers found a solution in the last ten thousand years. But even if they did invent a cure, being a cavalier and having it is probably a career ender, because no necromancer would risk catching an illness that could destroy their brain on top of being physically weak and frail. That means that people who have it are most likely shunned or avoided, depending on how authorian Ida is the individuals might be restricted or marked in a database. It can be passed down from mother to child and the nine houses care a lot about health and genetics, it's not impossible that they might limit an individuals ability to have children if they are infected.

Prion diseases are difficult to keep track of because they have a long incubation period when the host does not experience any troubles, and then it's either long, consistent decay or instant critical condition. It's kind of like rabies in a sense that preventing it is the first line of defense. In a society where a large number of people regularly consume human tissues there are probably insane regulations. With necromancy almost being a religious ritual there is probably a body in the government that tracks cav-necro pairs and runs tests on them regularly to make sure they are healthy. Wanna go to space? Health check. You wish to join the royal guard? Health check. You just arrived from the sixth and hope to see the Idan library? You guessed it: quarantine and health check.

The main danger of prion diseases is mental decline, brain problems, memory loss, seizures and loss of motor control. Statistically a number of necromancers would get it despite the regulations, and they would experience Alzheimers like symptoms, insomnia, terrible headaches and their self-regulatory systems shutting down (no longer feeling hungry or tired because of brain damage). Human society has a terrible track record with mental illness, we did things to people in the past that are worse than death. How would a society like Ida deal with a crisis of their necromancers (and most likely their children) deteriorating into corpses? Would there be care homes? Institutions? Would they be declared a danger and "disposed of"? This would also make every necromancer from Ida suspicious to other houses where this kind of cannibalism is not common: they are a liability. Imagine the stress of being a necromancer from Ida and getting a terrible headache one morning, you feel groggy and slow, and instead of knowing this is one of those days you fear for your life because what if you somehow got infected? What if someone poisoned you? If you have political opponents, it's not even that far off. The government can probably accuse you of showing symptoms and remove you from the public eye, forever, if you speak up against them.

And as a last thing: with the risks listed, the whole thing is probably not worth it, unless Jod somehow gave them magical immunity against it. It would cost money, time, resources to test all these people when the simpler solution is just, not eating the flesh of other people? Hair and nails are probably fine, but flesh? No.

In conclusion, cannibalism is a perfect metafor for supressed lesbian yearning but from a technical standpoint it would be a pain in the ass.

A disability headcannon for Warframe’s Drifter/Operator.

I’m starting to think that drifter/operator is in some form or way physically damaged or disabled and it’s from the walk cycles. Both have a very gingerly and kinda awkward walk cycle outside of their warframes, and the only exception to this is Duviri, but also Duviri is a magical fantasyland so it makes sense Drifter would be far stronger there to fit the fantastical land around them.

Also, although the inability to use melee outside of Duviri is obviously just development constraints, we do use almost solely ranged weaponry, and don’t so much as climb/jump as void teleport, which does point to a specific fighting style that tries to mitigate bodily strain as much as possible in favor of technological support.

This is also all dependent on your individual headcannons, so feel free to chime in!

Do you think William Afton found out about Remnant cause when Fazbear entertainment finally got a hold of Edwin’s Manor and their stuff, even like Prototype Fredbear would have been probably haunted/infected with agony or whatever from the Mimic stuffing people in the suits. And the murder

[shroombies]

Maybe I'm slow on the uptake here... But I was thinking abt the Creature we made in Episode 1, and wondering what the hell it was like under the perception filter ..

..Like it's so silly, right? It's just a goofy guy. But we know from Sneeg's death towards the end of the episode that it is Very much capable of killing something Horribly. And then I thought to myself, "Hmm, what other creature have we seen that seems relatively mindless, just going after whatever is closest and murdering the shit out of it?"

And then I realized.

oh.

Spoileds for 3.1 HSR

Spoiers ahead! But anyway this is a fully updated version of my two post abt the “Phainon is the flame reaver” theory, which tbh delved more into what the Flame Reaver it, but any it’s basically compiling info in the two post and some new stuff- anyway letssss gooooo!

(btw, i’ll occasionally swap between “it” and “he”- just know both are refering to Flame Reaver unless stated otherwise)

So first things first, most obvious info

-Flame Reaver had specifically targeted Mydei’s back in the fight- his weak spot. The only other person to have ever known it was Phainon-

This is the most compelling evidence by far, but there’s a lot of other pieces too

-In Hi3, Kevin was the one who killed Elysia. And guess which dear old fella killed Cyrene, this universes’s ely?

-Although a bit of a weaker piece, we don’t see anything like the Flame Reaver. Mara struck have their own grouping, Hoolay and Borisins are one group, the Swarm is one group, but nothing like the Flame Reaver appears. And by the end of the phophecy, only one Chryso heir’ member is to remain.

These are some of the standalone pieces

My current theory rn is that this is something like a My Little Nightmares situation. It’s already implied that Amphoreus is in an endless loop. Similar to my Little Nightmares, I imagine the Flame Reaver is Phainon by the end of the journey trying to stop the loop. Which is where the next few pieces of evidence comes in

Story

-The Flame Reaver is shown to only ever seem to target the Chryso Heirs- never anyone else. As of rn, the FR (i’m just gonna short form it from this point on) has only ever targted Tribios, Anaxa and Mydei’- all of which are Chryso Heirs. He only targets Krateos because he stands directly in his way. If the FR’s goal is to stop the prophecy from happening, then it makes sense he’ll only target those who are directly involved with it.

-The FR leaves Trianne alone once she loses her divinity.

If the FR’s goal was just to put an end to the Chryso’s Heirs for the sake of it, this wouldn’t have made sense- why leave her? Weren’t you trying to kill her? However, if his goal was to stop the prophecy, leaving Trianne makes sense- she no longer has any divinity in her, she doesn’t affect the prophecy anymore. What point is it anymore? It’s as he says, he has no interest in an empty shell who won’t affect the prophecy directly

-If FR’s goal is actually to stop the prophecy- then it actually s parrallels Mydei’s story. Mydei’s story was abt him taking fate into his own hands and ending the self fulfilling prophecy that was the Kremnoan’s bloodlust. And i think those who’ve seen my post know well enough the amount of times Mydei was paired with Phainon

2. It’s Boss battle

-The FR deals physical damage- and according to leaks, Phainon is a physical damage dealer.

-The Flame Reaver’s phantoms (Credit to this post for pointing this out)

i won’t say everything since most of this was already said by Creetch, but basically the idea is that these phantoms may have been the previous failed timelines, which contributes to both FR’S motive and the Amphoreus is in a time loop theory.

-FR’s ult

Few things here

-Firstly, its ult animation depicts it slashing a Mobius strip which looks similar to Amphoreus itself, like it’s trying to end Amphoreus. Furthermore, we never see the usage the mobius strip within Amphoreus anywhere else. It’s only within THIS fight we see the motif used again- like it’s the only one aware of how Amphoreus looks

-It says “I am sending a dynasty to its end!” while slashing Amphoreus, like it’s trying to put an end to a dynasty that in turn puts an end of Amphoreus- like yk, THE PROPHECY???

-Its slashes are specifically in the shape of a star- not just a single slash- this is most definitely intentional. Phainon is most likely to take up the care flame of Kelphale’s, the titian of time. And loy and behold, Kelphale’s symbol has that same star in the middle, even having the elongated sides.

3. FR’s behaviour (Credit to this post for pointing this one out- very good analysis)

-This’ll just be a very brief summary of what Kroku said since i think they mentioned a lot of good points and i wanna credit them, but basically- FR never act like just a mindless animal. It’s shown to give mercy and ask question, which means it has at least some form oc consciousness

4. Appearance

-Both Phainon and FR have a similar sun symbol on their chest

-It’s said that FR’s symbol may not actually be a sun- but an eclipse. A eclipse is the moon covering up the sun- Phainon’s is associated with sun symbols. If it truly is an eclipse, then it symbolises that something is covering Phainon to cause the FR-

Damn, really makes you think abt what Phainon has gone through that has him ending up like THAT, and doing THAT

This is a picture of Wukong's house before it was destroyed by Azure

These are pictures AFTER it was rebuilt.

Notice something different?

The lantern at the top is missing, the lantern which probably foreshadowed MK's "disappearance" this season. Or maybe how after Azure's destruction, MK was the only one left with trauma from the event?

It's also weird that Wukong and Macaque's lanterns made it out at all, are those things made of titanium???

Team Rocket's Ending is/will Be Canon for The Anime?

Everyone is aware of the infamous panel of Jessie and James' ending arc in the (still very much) legally licensed by Nintendo manga series called The Electric Tale of Pikachu, now more than ever there is evidence for the anime moving them in that path aswell

Despite the manga running from 1999 to 2000 we have had a reference or two to Jessie's haircut in the ending in Seviper's 2003 debut episode

And very recently in the XY and XYZ/Ultimate Journeys series James appearing with his signature ponytail appearing often in the anime both casually and under disguise

And with this being a reoccuring theme now for James, Ash winning the pokemon league and going on a hiatus from adventuring - it seems like all stars are aligned for the manga ending being hinted at or shown in the future as a cameo?

The newgen Horizons's cast now confirmed to have a timeskip in the near future, the first ever for this franchise - if they ever were to cross paths with the original members... we already know what is going on with at least 3 of them...

i think we know when the newgrounds burning was

"I wonder if the Outernet ever felt the effects of the S Cascade Newgrounds Crash or the FNF Newgrounds Crash" > looks up the crash date.

hold on guys...

hold on...

HOLD ON. We've got something going here. More below the cut.

For those who don't know, Newgrounds and Homestuck have a minor amount of major history. When Homestuck when on Hiatus for a month in 2011, it came back with a massive animation- [S] Cascade. This 14 minute flash animation was the longest and most anticipated at the time!

... So when Andrew Hussie was hosting it, he got new servers for homestuck.com, and intended to host it on newgrounds as well! Newgrounds, being a dedicated hosting site, should've been prepped for that! So they went through with that! Everything goes fine and dandy! :) ...

...This is barely 3 weeks after Dark was made, y'all.

I think that The Disappearance, The Decimation? I think that's our in-character Newgrounds crash. I think the day Mitsi dies is October 25, 2011.

Benefits of describing prostitutes as prostituted women instead?

Not sure what the context is for this.

I would say that as the term 'prostitute' is a patriarchal categorisation: a symbolic and distinct 'type' of woman, separate from the non-prostitute - the 'normal woman'. The existence of this classification is useful for the patriarchy for two reasons:

A woman being a 'prostitute' marks her as essentially un-rapeable; the whore to contrast the madonna. This alleviates male guilt;

The concept of the 'prostitute' being separate from the 'normal woman' exists as an ever-present threat - stay in line, behave, put up with abusive behaviour, or else you risk leaving your safe domain under the supposed protection of one man, and so becoming her.

Note there is a contradiction there: the prostitute is sold under patriarchy to men as an un-rapeable woman, but is sold to women as a threat of rape. Men intrinsically understand that the prostitute is raped - but they use their symbolic framework to shift the classification of rape from 'psychological and physical terror' to the symbolic 'corruption' of some essential essence of the woman's soul. The 'prostitute' under the patriarchal pornographic ideology is un-rapeable, not in the sense that she cannot be subject to terror, but rather she is uncorruptable as she is already corrupted by her prostitution. The reality of rape is thus disguised through this symbolic framing, and furthermore pornographic ideology believes the 'whore' to represent the true essence of women's sexuality: a masochistic desire to corrupt oneself and submit as the animal below male humanity. It's convoluted, but it has to be, because patriarchy requires these symbolic categories - for without them, there would be no justification for rape, for violence, for hierarchy. To categorise a woman as a 'prostitute' would be to engage with a patriarchal framework that is specifically used to supplant the reality of rape with symbolic corruption.

However, 'prostituted woman' emphasises that she is a human being first and foremost - she is coerced under patriarchy into prostitution i.e. she is prostituted. So it is both a more accurate description of her situation and also re-emphasises that she is not a distinct category that we as 'normal women' can feel separated from, but rather she has been victimised in a way all women are vulnerable to.

Ena Dream BBQ theory

(I'm going based off just the game for this btw)

Whatever world that they're in is an afterlife, and the different doors are different heavens/hells depending on who you were while you were alive. I think that the lonely door is for greedy people because everyone has some sort of materialism/greed to them, and the entire time their looking for the "bathroom" or the genie that will clean them of their sins and grant them a wish. But since they were so greedy they have to live the rest of eternity not being able to get to the genie and can't get all the greedy they want. Or just until they've suffered enough to be worthy of forgiveness and then their able to make it to the genie

Now I do believe in the Ena soldier theory but I think she would be more of a commander of some sort because of her clothes + meanie side. It's very demanding and interrogative, like a military commander (+meanies megaphone and propaganda poster-like poses). Now idk if I believe the whole miscarriage theory with the headboard but it could be true. While she's in that liminal space outside the Portapotty she is missing her stomach, but that could be how she died in war. She also says "I need the bathroom, but it's not enough for this many body's" (or smth adjacent to that) and those "bodies" she's referring to are all the people she's killed and how much metaphorical and literal blood is on her hands from the war. We already know that the bathroom is a metaphor for getting your sins washed away. She's saying she has too many sins to just have them washed away, that's also why the genie didn't forgive her. She still has suffering left to do before she's worthy of forgiveness.

I also think that the reason everyone hates her is cause that specific afterlife she's in is all the causality from the war, and not just a bunch of random souls.

(Plus: I think we're gunna have a bbq with the boss cause that's the name of the game + the line "we're gunna get him in the gut" or smth like that lol also the game's icon on the computer is gunna be the boss)

I'd love to hear y'all's opinions and theory's I'm very curious as to what yall think!

Theory: Bill Cipher probably ate his Parallel Dimension Twin

Or should I have done an Earl of Lemongrab meme? Okay, jokes and japes aside I feel this has some real merit behind it, that I'll leave under the cut.

---

There's a lot of good ideas going around with how exactly Bill destroyed his dimension, but my personal pet theory is that he made contact with his parallel universe twin. Specifically, he consumed him. The evidence of what can happen when parallel universe copies make contact with each other is described in journal 3 by Alternate McGucket:

"As soon as they touched hands, the entire dimension began to warp and fizz with static ... In fact, that whole dimension has ceased to exist."

Time and time again, Bill is associated with static. In his "blood", attempts by the government to vivisect him, his memories of the event, his therapy notes, and depictions of his parents.

We know his goal with what ended up becoming the Euclydian Massacre was to "show everyone what they were missing," and it was enough to destabilize and destroy everything.

How'd he pull it off? I'm thinking he built a dimensional portal of his own, but honestly in this show anthyding can hadplen. It would definitely explain where the portal idea came from in the first place.

But why do I think he consumed his twin? It's all these very suspicious comments he keeps making to Ford specifically...

"How about that; you've got an inferior clone! Why didn't you just eat him in the womb? Think of how powerful you'd be!" "You can't just eat your twin, Bill." "You'd be surprised what you can eat."

And in the microscopically rare moment of honesty where he admits to himself that he's a monster, even if Ford isn't aware Bill's talking about himself yet, he follows up Ford's offer for revenge with, "It would eat you alive." You'd be surprised what you can eat.

And it's not like he hasn't consumed others after, as the page in the Book of Bill on the topic of Human skin, there's a desperate note at the bottom from a Grembley Hemberdrek of Zimtrex 9, who Bill devoured trillions of years ago and who's soul has been trapped inside forever after, tortured with "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch on an endless loop. Who's to say his parallel twin isn't in there too?

It's very possible that his ultimate goal, aside from getting revenge, opening his world's eyes to the third dimension, and the sweet sweet high of proving everyone wrong was ultimately to find a better world, consume his "inferior twin" and take over his identity in his dimension. Thematically, it would also cement his status as Stanley's dark foil, who also took over and stole his twin's identity leading to a better life, albeit for much nobler reasons.

Additionally, on top of the practical reasons for taking over Earth, choosing Ford had that bonus that he wouldn't be alone by molding Ford in his image. It's why he kept giving him so many chances to join him. By setting him up to destroy his world, betray his twin, and become monsters together, he'd finally have a companion who's exactly like him. Only fitting for the Multiverse's ultimate narcissist, isn't it?

Anyway, if you read this far, thanks! This is only a theory and tbh I'm probably going to be proven wrong in time but hey!
