on Homestuck!

xparrotSo the brother marched into my room yesterday and informed me that I had to catch up with Homestuck OR ELSE (or else being a massive spoiler dump). So now I am caught up (through this page for anyone visiting from the future/alternate timeline) and:
So uu is actually Lord English? After he kills Calliope?
No wonder he's so hard to kill, if he's gone through the game himself and become god-tier.
Also, the brother points out that while it hasn't officially given his hero title yet, the male counterpart to Muse must be Lord.
So he's the Lord of Time.
WHICH EXPLAINS THE COAT and why it looks so very much like a certain very distinctive scarf and AGHRJKDFAKFLAJFDK;LAF;L ANDREW HUSSIE YOU ARE THE LORD OF (really really really dumb) PUNS.
(and of course the Doctor is British and UU the "limey"blood using U- or non-U English and what is this, I don't even, this is on another plane up from wordplay, another dimension of ridiculous iconography that someday someone should write a book on because what AH does to language and symbolism in HS is like nothing I've seen before...)
--Also the bro has maybe-not-so-crazy theory that since Calliope's dream-self is dead, when she does go to sleep she's out in the dreambubbles - and maybe is the Horrorterrors? Are they her dead-dream-self's self?
Does the red sun turn green when Calliope sleeps? Or is it actually the green sun going supernova after eons?
And WHY do they have the Sufferer's signs? Is that not really the Vantas sign at all? He was the "Signless" after all; did it get adopted by mistake, when really it's supposed to be the sign of the lime-bloods? (But why does Aranea wear it then...?)
Finally it must be said: Calliope is SO ADORABLE omg.
Also, not spoilery, but I still love that this is a story where a girl can say "I love you" to another girl, and then clarify that she means it in a BFF way - and then quickly and concernedly apologize that she's not sure how the other girl feels about her and she hopes she didn't put her foot in something. That everyone considers and acknowledges same-sex attraction being a thing, as valid and worthy (or unworthy) of note as opposite-sex - it's just nice to see (plus there are two confirmed canonically gay characters, in addition to more than half the main cast being bi/pan, which is also nice.)(and one char who I personally have decided to take as asexual even though he might just be not old enough/not have the time for romance now. Also I ship him with pretty much everyone but OH WELL.)

Date: 2012-06-21 04:45 pm (UTC)As for them having the Sufferer's signs, I just assumed that was a part of Calliope's troll cossplay. Although then again, it's worn split into two parts when she wears it and it's not silver. So I don't know. (I really want to know more about the pre-scratch troll session. Because there must be some reason Aranea is wearing the Sufferer's sign... unless she picked it up after the fact while watching things play out..... can dream bubble ghosts do that?)

Date: 2012-06-22 01:40 am (UTC)The Sufferer's signs on Calliope's cuffs miiiiight be cosplay, but I wasn't sure if she's still in costume now? And Aranea wearing it I suspect is something else, but not sure what...I do wonder if it's not really supposed to be the Vantas sign but got co-opted. Will see!
