Can't blame people who do not like Bard, IT'S A FRICKIN BONER-SUIT!
One must learn to appreciate the Codpiece. You all have done this to me, and now you shall regret it for a thousand years. Codpieces everywhere. For everyone.
What does changing Hope mean? Does it mean you change people's opinions and views of you (Talking about Heirs and Witches)
Yeah it could. That’s the beauty of it- As long as you can make it to mean ‘Changing Hope’, you can pretty much work with whatever meaning you give it and it’d be valid.
I have a headcanon that the destroyer life classes can heal, but since they are destroying through life to do so it leaves their friends with insecurities, low self-esteem, etc and everyone is pissed at them but the prince/bard Is just like "but your not dead so stop complaining"
I feel that works well, there’s also such a thing as ‘overhealing’, I’ve stated before that a Maid of Life could improve the rate at which your cells duplicate and heal to the point of giving you cancer, so some kind of thing like that could be plausible for a Bard/Prince as well, I’d say.
Isn't there other rings that has the 10 other aspects?
Boy, we honestly don’t even know if the Rings are two different ones or if they’re the same Ring. It’s one of the few things I wish we’ll get more information about in the Epilogue.
Are you sure about the ephinany dreamself thing? I can't imagine Jade having too much of an epiphany at around whatever age she woke up on prospit.
She’s a Space Player, those are special cases since they wake up early. Either way, what she did was see the Final Frog, it’s the cue for the Space Players to wake up on Prospit.
Random HC: configurations of Universe are determined by prototypings that every player have made before entering and their soul configuration reading that skaia performs when determinig their classpect. All those reading are then conveyed into genetic code of the frogs that space player would be working with. The Final Frog, on the other hand, is slightly more universal and can be shared between separate sessions.
When Space player happens to move through the wall with two exists. They enter through both doors and then stumble into themselves. Until someone is watching. In such case, they go only into one particular door.
As much as I like Schrodinger’s Fuckery, the Space Player themselves still counts as an observer. :p
Honestly no God Damn idea, I had a bunch of headcanons regarding Typheus and Yaldabaoth but we’ve seen they’re all a bit more literal than that so, so far it seems by the symbols no one would have arms? But that makes no sense because Hephaestus has a Hammer, so likely Hephaestus DOES have arms. There’s also the fact we see with Echidna’s symbols and her statue that she has breasts, yet by how Typheus is, she should also be a weird snake monster? Denizens are weird and I would love, LOVE to see all potentially 14 if not more of them, in canon. Just like a Hussie drawing or Paradox Space 2.0 or something.
What if Lord English's skull was filled with billiard balls, that's why his eyes keep flickering
I know exactly the image you’re talking about, but it’d seem just by how it’s depicted in Act 7, that his eyes just sort of. Slurped up the multicolor juice.
Similar to that anon I have a headcanon that certain hope players in the session have the universe in the genesis frog in their own image (What's ideal for them or what they really want to be real) Which classes do you think would have this effect on the genesis frog?
I mean can you truly shape a frog which is also a Universe in ‘your image’? It’s kind of. A weird thing.
Continuation of "Player imprint". Throuhg prototyping the Skaia produces DNA from the cultural information of "mother" species. While soul-reading (Ultimate self and the individual incarnation are read) is a more "individual" imput of a player. Basically, it just more internal vs external dichotomy. Because the way the frogs reproduce isn't convoluted enough.
I was talking more about, how such a thing would manifest in a thing that is pretty much a Big Frog containing the physical reality of the Universe.
So since all the players symbols became their constellations of the universe the kids made, what do you think they represent as that universes zodiac?
I’m not much for astrology so I wouldn’t be able to tell you, really. Do also consider that the Kids are literally Gods living among the inhabitants of Earth-c so like, the meaning may change entirely based on the fact the people they represent exist there on the planet.
If I prototype my sprite with an old photo of someone, and that someone is dead, will the sprite have the personality of the person at the moment the photo was taken, or the personality of the person before they died ? I'm sorry if it's not clear
Depends on how you value that person. I’d imagine the game would take what the picture means to you- The person or the moment, that depend on what you yourself think of it.
So if you don't have a space player you can't win, but wouldn't it be fun to mess around on your lands?
It would definitely be fun to mess around on your Lands! And with the Alchemy System and arguably your best friends around, you can potentially just live a happy life messing around and experimenting with Alchemy and God Tier powers. You can also do Ectobiology Shenanigans around. But still, no Universe to rule, and potential constant Threats with Underlings and other stuff.

I'd heavily argue for Hussie not being religious, of if he is, not letting that influence his work. Sure, HS has heavy gnostic themes, but it tears down pretty much everything else that is a running theme in other religiously inspired works. There is no 'God', no big good, no one is really immortal, no one person is really omnipotent, the only being one could argue is a god like figure is a destructive giant moron who everyone hates and the kids become gods themselves, ruling over their own (1)
Universe, something that wouldn’t sit well with anyone that is really into their religion, as humans becoming gods is something that is always decried, even in works that aren’t religious, but especially in those that are. (2)
I mean, there’s a thousand different ways to interpret religion and religious things. Skaia IS a God-like figure, specifically Abraxas-like, and the Denizens also act similarly, or at least as Demi-Gods. The Genesis Frog, too, is linked to the concept of a Pantheism, where the God that is the Genesis Frog embodies the Universe itself- And he is praised as such by the Carapaces.
Hussie may not be religious, but when I see the things he’s done with religious themes, I don’t really see him tearing things down, rather I find he’s done a lot of research to talk about those topics, and is approaching them to express something deeply personal. Whatever he believes in, though, I have no idea.
At the green sun at the end of the webcomic, did Callie make a black hole? I feel like it's obvious but I'm dumb
Callie collapsed herself into a Black Hole to suck the Green Sun, and once the entire mass and energy of the Green Sun was absorbed, the Black Hole became supermassive and started to tear through the entirety of Paradox Space.
Is dying on your quest bed with a living dreamself enough to god tier? Don’t you need to have to reached the top of your echeladder as well? Or is that just something Vriska made up when talking to John?
That IS true, Vriska mentions it’s to take it to the next level, I tend to forget that because the Echeladder is kind of an abstract Levelling-up system? Honestly, though, Jane had managed to climb a few rungs doing normal everyday stuff on Earth by her 16th birthday, I’d imagine an Adult Businessman is kind of already at the top of the Echeladder? So Fedorafreak could’ve still ascended even if he wasn’t the best fighter, I guess.
how did fedorafreak get into the medium? did they play sburb? if they have their own land to god tier on, they had to have, right? who was their server player? too many questions and not enough answers
He played the game and entered the Medium indeed, but we don’t know who he’s playing it with.
We've only seen Purplebloods like Gamzee and Chahut having red scleras; do you think that the scleras of the lower bloods can turn red too? Or is it a feature exclusive to Purplebloods only?
Given Terezi in this scene, it’d seem the reddening of the sclera are the equivalent of a Troll’s eyes going Bloodshot, so it’s likely a thing that happens to everyone.
if fedorafreak is Jude, makes sense that he'd be in contact with dad Egbert, since they'd be cousins, both born from an ecto-human. And why nannasprite would tell him about her past, since she'd be his aunt. I wonder if Jude and Joey ever do find out about their past. Never thought about this before, but now I love it. It is now my headcanon until disproven.
Hehe, we will see if there’s any implications about this in Hauntswitch!
about the harlequinsprite high five -- jasprose says on page 9774 that 0/1-prototyped kernels don't automatically prototype things if the contact is brief, so there may not be a doomed johnsprite out there after all
One thing people overlook about Sprite Touching Mechanics is that, when it comes to Non-Entry Kernels, that is, the floating heads, you sort of need to really get into the middle of the Sprite to Prototype it. Seppucrowsprite’s Kernel picked up everything in Dave’s roof, and pecked his head, and it didn’t prototype anything at all.
You know the thing where the carapacians have a procession or march or whatever to commemorate the death of Jake's dreamself and they were saying something about his aspect or some shems. I ended up thinking one for a breath player and it ended up being "The is dead, we will soon take our last breath".
Oooh, I imagine they’d have a bunch of chants like that for each Aspect, yeah.
how do you think dersites mourn dead players? Since we've seen how prospitions do it, either way seems to lead to them being put on the secondary questbed
They toss the Dead Dreamself into the Crypt with a kick, and the newspapers read “That’s just how it is on this bitch of a Moon.”
Chances are that’s not her case though! Because the thing is, she didn’t even have a tower. Her Dream Self never died, it was alive, it simply just. Spawned there because she was Dead to begin with.
@ancient-trolls theorised that Ardata could be True Scorpio and Marvus could be True Capricorn. What do you think about it?
I’ve heard those theories going around, and while I like them, and there’s no reason for them to not be plausible- Specially if the Ancestors, you know, provided for the Drones- I’d imagine someone of the True Sign would have the same surname. Serket and Makara.
That being said, ‘probably Vriska’ may either be because she’ll be super controversial, or because she’s also Light like Vriska, but Derse rather than Prospit. And Marvus is just a tricksy dude. I still bet he’s got the dick sign.
I had a thought recently, Vriska, Aranea, and Meenah are the only trolls that seem to have a singular self in the dream bubbles. My theory is that it has something to do with going god tier. We see other trolls who have gone godtier in the dream bubbles, but only these three gals did so in the "canon" timeline. The exception is of course, Aradia, who has gone godtier in the "canon" timeline, but still has Aradiabots floating around Maybe it's because she isn't dead, and intends to stay that way?
There’s actually multiple Araneas and Meenahs in the Bubbles.
If God Tier in the Alpha Timeline invalidated the Ghosting, Jadesprite’s ghost, John after killing Typheus and Throat-slit Doomed Dave wouldn’t have been in the Bubbles before LE blew them up. Vriska, however, only has one ghost- (Vriska), while Gamzee has shown to have zero Ghosts at all, yet he did die in at least one Timeline.
My current working theory is that of Canon Divergence- Ghosts show the paths people could’ve taken, different developments, each iteration of a Ghost in the Bubbles is pretty much representative of a notable divergence in personality and character from the ‘Alpha’ version. As such, Gamzee and Vriska, as well as, Caliborn, would make sense to have no Ghosts at all, except for Vriska, whose ‘Alpha’ died before the Alpha was retconned.
To what extent can you use your god tier powers before going god tier? We see some examples in the comic but nothing like the real god tiers.
Are you sure about that?
A lot of God Tier powers seem like innate abilities, and Ascension allows the use of the powers to their fullest potential- But this potential, to begin with, has always existed within everyone.
Why did Vriska need glasses, like prescription glasses? She had 7 pupils in her left eye, which I'm sure enhanced her vision
I’m pretty sure more isn’t necessarily always better. There’s also the chance she actually doesn’t need glasses and she just thinks they look cool on her. You know Vriska would do that.
I'm pretty sure Xefros is page of rage and Dammek is prince of blood, and Trizza could be heir of blood?
Dammek seems more Thief-y for me right now but I don’t think I quite know enough about him to make that call. Same with Trizza, we have yet to see more of her. Xefros absolutely fits the bill as a Page of Rage though.
it's basically confirmed that Aranea only wears glasses because they look cool. she can heal peoples' eyesight, even if she was born needing glasses she can heal them
Does that count as eye damage though? God Tier Ascension and Dream Selves also like, seem to get rid of all physical damage, yet every one of the Kids who wear Glasses also ascend with Glasses. Hell, they’re also born with them.
Is it ever explained how skaianet is created? Like it seems that there is a connection between the Harley's and Lalonde's having some hand in the different branches of skaianet, but is it just natural discovery or do they find something that looks ancient but has all of this advanced stuff to it?
Skaianet is Grandpa Harley’s company, he finds the Frog Temple and uses Skaianet to extract the code for SBURB and distribute it as a game in a world-wide release. Mom works for Skaianet or at the very least a branch of it. Dad’s involvement with the company is dubious at best, but it could be plausible. We have no idea how Bro knows any of the stuff he knows, but he may also be somehow linked to it.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO BE ALREADY HERE WHEN I AM OUTRUNNING YOU?
I don’t know why but I imagined this as English riding a really tiny tricycle on the street and chasing after some car, shouting at them through the rolled down window.
I know we know extremely little about Dammek, but I see him as a Bard of Blood. (Plus, imagine him in a codpiece). What’s your reasoning on him being a thief of blood? I’m interested lol.
First of all, I see Dammek as an Active Player. Self-driven, I feel he does care about Xefros, but a lot of the things he does to him are for his own benefit. The enacting of dangerous movie scenes, dragging him into a band… He wants to lead a Rebellion and take Leadership from the Highbloods, which could easily be Passive because it’s for the Lowbloods, but given the fact he has Circular Discs rather than Hexagonal Ones, and uses Xefros pretty much as a Butler, it feels like, beyond the dreams of a Rebellion, he’s living a fantasy of being like a Highblood. His ideals to give to the people are good, but so far he strikes me like the kind of guy that would go one step further- Not for Equality, but inverting the Social Order to favor him.
Other than that, though? Dammek is an Outlaw, a rebel against society, that’s not afraid of getting his hands dirty, and has single-handedly prepared the whole Rebellion Network and stocked with powerful weapons and the Snake Portal to fight when the time comes. He takes from Xefros as he pleases, and strikes an interesting semblance of how Tavros, a Page like Xefros, had a Thief ‘serve’ him to the point of abuse. However, before I make any solid judgement call about Dammek, and specially also, about Trizza, I want to learn more about them. Their story, and specially, their involvement with Doc Scratch. Scratch is pulling the strings in some way or another and his involvement is going to appear more and more notable as the Acts go on.
Hell would you really say Dirk lacks Heart. Like, seriously, he’s got so many iterations of his Soul running around at any given moment, he very much cares for and loves his friends and struggles with not wanting to mess it up with them… Eridan too, he may have lost Hope in his team, but you’ve gotta be REALLY Hopeful to see the Murderbeast destroying everything and say “Hmm yes! I can definitely become his ally and not die in the process!”
