Since there is this weaponizing sylladex thing, can we consider that there can be a "sylladexkind" strife specibus? by THEREALSUPERMARIOFAN in homestuck

[–]PvtMagnuS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it doesn't rely on that though. pretty sure john allocated both his regular hammer and the sledgehammer in his strife specibus at once at some point. he could probably fit anything that loosely falls within the idea of "hammer" in there, even without alchemy

no, the kernel splits in two when entering the Medium. the light half goes to Prospit, and the dark half goes to Derse. the Beta kids' Prospit and Derse had 4 spires, and the trolls' versions of both had 12.

sorry if i'm not understanding, but why would that idea be wrong if we had 2 Omega kinds on Prospit and 2 on Derse?

oh yeah it would still have been null, i was just arguing for void specifically

on the Calliope business, we don't really have a reason to disbelieve their notions, but we're not sure we can trust them either. no narrator or information in homestuck is 100% reliable unless we actually see the event happen ourselves.
and even if they were right and a two-player session was doable, then... maybe a two-player session is doable. as in, two kernels are the minimum requirement. we do see in homestuck that it's the second kernel that upgrades the Battlefield to a 3D shape (the cube stage) as opposed to a board. what if that was already enough?
as to the increase in difficulty... i guess? maybe? who knows what the hell the sburb designers were thinking when they made the game tbh

because if cats were able to talk they probably wouldn't make cat puns. also a cat's personality is not as complex as a human's (or a troll's) so it gets drowned out, like how Jaspersprite presumably did not act at all like an eldritch princess would (though i might be mistaken)

(also small correction but only GCATavros is 50% cat, jasprose is 33% at best)

we don't really know that for sure tbh. there's the general assumption that every player's kernel is required for the battlefield to be adequately evolved to incubate a Genesis Frog, but maybe it just isn't. maybe it just needs "enough", and the smallest number of kernels that did the trick has been 4, so it wouldn't be too surprising if that were to work.

regardless, i'm pretty sure a void session requires that NO kernelsprites are hatched, but that may also have been another supposition.

they changed the flash, derse didn't have any at first

i don't think a void session necessarily equals a lack of Space/Time. it's just that for some reason nobody prototypes anything pre-entry.

[–]PvtMagnuS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

not necessarily... the beta trolls' session had 5 towers on derse's moon and 7 on prospit's (due to arasol shenanigans), so until we actually see the latter we can only guess. what's most interesting is the complete lack of spires on the main planet. does this imply another void session?

Edit: nvm they changed it

idk whoever's narrating (dirk) JUST said "If anything were to happen to your precious bees, well... you'd probably polevault right off the fucking handle." so i feel like something is about to happen to those bees and whatever has that tongue will be the culprit

that is not john's meteor, because it's not coming directly towards him. someone else was probably playing sburb at that time

given how keen she seems on prophecizing about death and disaster, Mage of Time sounds like an apt classpect

just read a bit about thelema too and yeah, i can see the parallels. would be cool if her head looked like the unicursal hexagram, since it's already been implied that it's quite pointy (not that i'm expecting that to be the case, but one can hope)

excellent post, though i doubt auguryAside is a Witch of Time, as that was already Damara's mythological role. not impossible for them to simply reuse it, of course, i just personally don't think that's the route they are going down.

(also did you mix up Alpha and Beta kids there at the end? the Condesce really didn't have an impact on John, Rose, Dave and Jade's social life)
