For a lot of classes there's a verb inherent to their title word. Witches witch, Knights knight, Bards bard (horses?), Thieves thieve and Seers see. Pages can also 'page for' which is to be a page for someone else. The problem with these is Prince and Bard's exposition, which makes it so half our kn...

It implies a time frame and as a First Guardian his area of influence is limited. She's lusus-colored, biologically attuned to trolls and her part in his plans is incidental (she'll scream when crushed, not when he 'gives a signal' or anything that implies cooperation). Feferi has no special knowled...

This is what Doc Scratch has to say about Glb'Golyb's origins. I like to think of her as the pet I gave to their race, at the dawning of their species' evolution. Like a sentience-warming gift. Again, it's just the sort of thing a good host does. I think this does imply he created her but I can see ...

Glb'golyb is never called a real horrorterror that I remember. It's likely that she's the ectobiologal product of a horror terror and something else, made by Doc Scratch.

Isn't that exactly the purpose the flashes serve? You can't really say they're narrated by a biased source when you can see what takes place and there's no room for the narrator's hand, only the author's.

Probably because Homestuck is not intended to be read as a biased account.

I think the difference is you think the characters get a say. The only limitation the retcon power had in Homestuck was that John had to want to use it, and so Hussie wrote it so John never wanted to use it even though there were plenty of reasons for him to do so and ways to mitigate any risks. He'...

My unpopular Bro opinion is that the sequence of 8 panels that starts after this one [https://www.homestuck.com/story/2762] shouldn't have been in the comic at all.

Caliborn didn't need to know the specifics, all he needed to know was John was capable of 'ghost teleporting'. He wanted the Masterpiece to happen, that's why he started personally taunting John after Act 7 to piss him off and make him show up. John's retcons don't alter the story till they happen, ...

John's retcon can't force anything because he can always retcon his own retcons away. What forces the narrative to bend to let the Masterpiece happen is that Caliborn narrated it and depicted it, making it something that the audience would expect. John did not cause the Masterpiece in Homestuck, he ...

There are multiple retcons. What I'm saying is the Masterpiece predicts a retcon that hasn't taken place yet. A use of John's power outside of the story. John never retcons back to fight Caliborn within Homestuck, therefore the Masterpiece can't be the result of a retcon, just like the story couldn'...

This is a pretty silly quibble. Maybe John is just wrong? I don't remember him saying anything quite like what you paraphrase but it wouldn't be the first time a character gets tricked into doing exactly the opposite of what they wanted to do. John being tricked into thinking he's changing the cours...

The bubbles might be isolated from Paradox Space, but they are not isolated from the narrative. We have no problem following characters when they go there and when they come back as the audience. We see them before Hussie dies and after as well. The bubbles play a large role in the narrative as the ...

The retcon had big contradictions right from the getgo. That it was used to travel through the story was what everyone assumed, but despite John altering the course of the meteor (Vriska) and Meenah remained unchanged and Meenah even remembered having met the Karkat who dies in Game Over.

Back in the day it was pretty widely believed that trolls were hermaphroditic. I'm not sure why that perception changed.

Merry christmas

I didn't say your headcanon was "a killjoy". You're free to have it and enjoy it. I asked you to summarize it earlier because I didn't understand if you even held it or if you were positing various hypotheticals. I do think it sounds like a rebuke against any kind of fantasy alien biology existing i...

Trolls have not had their technology since the beginning of their species. Their sociology is shaped by history to be caste-based because they have biological castes and no social incentives to change that, even now that they maybe could. Equity ethics are not that important to an empire that subjug...

Different lifespans in the same species is a real thing, especially among insects with castes. Ant queens live for several years, while workers live weeks to months at most, and males only live for a few days.

Could you summarize what you meant? I'm honestly confused by some of the wording.

I was contacted by user deadlyAdder, so I looked into the The Bubble Machine roleplay thread. I ended up sending user lml55 some roleplaying advice and a warning to not be too disruptive.
