[Cerol Lenslens]

and all surviving dead characters

I love the fact that this description actually makes sense to people who've read Homestuck.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I think I figured it out. Caliborn isn't Lord English. The kernelsprite/Calisprite is.

That would be so outrageous. How could that even be a thing?

[dermonster]

Curtain closer update.

Unless that was always there.

It explains his motivation for consuming universes, and the murdering could be a side effect of the sprite's incorporating of his personality.

He's basically an intelligent anthropomorphised black hole. The mouth lazor is the equivalent of a gamma ray burst.

[ShoesandHats]

Very theoretically (AKA something I just pulled out of my ass) either removing a large amount of a black hole's mass or spreading the mass over a larger amount of space would negate it, seeing as a black hole is caused by an extreme excess of mass in a small amount of space. So we either need to make Lord English go on a diet, or make him morbidly obese.

[Liber celi]

Can someone change the thread title to "Caliborn to be wild"?

Also, next Intermission coming up, even if it takes a few weeks again. I hope for something light-hearted. Maybe exiles on flooded Earth, or even squiddles!
(okay, that would probably be highly symbolic and really depressing, since the "real" squiddles are dying now.)

Act 6 seems to mirror Homestuck in it's entirety(or is this a red herring?), so it would be time for some non-sequitur, like between Act 3 and Act 4.

[Wimdit]

Check it out, I found some foreshadowing.

UU: when i sleep and visit prospit, i see nothing bUt storm cloUds in skaia now.
UU: my great big lovely ball of blUe has been cloUding over. soon i fear it will be completely black, and the kingdom will be shroUded in darkness.
UU: i wish i Understood the meaning of this terrible omen.

I suppose the clouds turning black indicates that everything's going to be destroyed in Caliborn's session without too much fuss. No chance of the kernels prototyping Prospit and Derse when they head up to the towers, then. I was kind of wondering if there was going to be a titanic duel between Prospitsprite and Dersesprite or something.

[Bauglir]

Well, we can at least tell that this only has superficial resemblance to a black hole. Were it a proper black hole, it wouldn't be causing solar mass to spiral into it, since it'd still have the same mass as the planet, which wasn't doing that.

[CJ1145]

What I want to know is, how did Caliborn know the sprite would do that?

[Bauglir]

Yeah, we seem to be getting a lot of "That was pretty impressive, but how did the characters know to do X?" in the more recent flashes. I hope for exposition soon! I mean, you know, after Puase 3.

[alway]

Assuming of course Hussie survives The Battle of the UU-Yogurt Shop.

Honestly I don't care if we found out how certain characters knew what would happen. For example, we haven't seen a lot of Dirk in general, so it seemed somewhat reasonable that he might have thought up this whole plan (or at least part of it) during his years of complete solitude hanging over a sea of nothingness.

Don't forget, that in all of Dirk's years there, he got to talk with uu and UU, who probably were able to give him enough ideas of how the game and entering it worked, to set up that sort of plan.

Plus he's been awake and fully cognizant on Derse for some significant portion of his life.  He's probably had time to pick up a few things, read some prophecies, chat up the locals.

Not that I wouldn't really appreciate an actual explanation, about both Dirk and uu, because this is verging into 'plot what plot' territory.

Anyway, back to same ol' same ol' flash analysis.

All poor saps we knew too short, except possibly that Equius.

For anyone who said they can't invest in the fate of characters because being dead isn't all that big of a consequence, well here ya go.

Spoiler: Some possible LE motivations. (click to show/hide)

uu/Caliborn is a Time player.
He gets violently pissed off about anyone being better than him at anything.

When he arrives in the Dream Bubble, he lands on a Time player's Quest Slab for his raise of the conductor's baton.

Daves got quite a bit of screen focus, including Actual Dave watching from the sidelines.





The next rung on Dave's echeladder is Pimpslayer.

Oh yeah, and both Caduceus and Ophiuchus claim snakes as their symbols.  That's why he can unhinge his jaw.
