Wait, Sollux has two dream selves? Makes sense, if that's the case.

The way he is floating keeps making me think he is going to pull a Pickle Inspector on us.

Huh? I was just assuming he flew to the other planet, but I like your way better. Everything about him involves duality.

This explains quite a bit, actually. How Sollux can die twice, how all the trolls are fated to die, yet they're all in the future.

Though I wonder why Aradia doesn't have a dreamself. Grandpa Harley's dreamself remains quite well off in spite of his deadness.

Because she's already dead.

It's possible that Grandpa already woke up his dreamself before he died, while Aradia did not. Like, if the dreamself never woke up before death, then it will never wake up full stop. It would also explain why Aradia made sure Sollux fell asleep and made him visit Prospit.

Or maybe her 'ghost' is also her dreamself? I doubt that, though. The diagram seemed to imply that her dreamself never existed, otherwise it'd show it with a big X on it like with Sollux's body.

Although I have to wonder how Grandpa can gallivant around on John's planet while- oh no wait giant space battleship that's right.

I'm not sure that it's his dreamself and not the actual Grandpa Harley before he died, because he was able to travel between Earth and the Medium.

Also: ohshit troll shirts.

Yeah, I don't think that that's Grandpa Harley's dreamself as much as it's him inside the medium before his death--otherwise he'd be wearing a silly outfit of some sort. Also, as far as we know, he isn't a player within the game, so he shouldn't have a dream self. My guess with Aradia is that you need to be alive at the beginning of the game in order to have a dreamself? Not sure about that, though. Maybe Sollux stole her extra one.

in other words bluh bluh weird plot shit

Art of Hilt · 08-23-2010, 02:42 PM

The reason I'm guessing it's his dreamself is the way he got into the game. Everyone else's Guardian came with the kids on to their planets. As far as we know, the only Grandpa with Jade- who hasn't entered the game yet- is the stuffed Grandpa.

Therefore the Grandpa with the giant battleship must have found a way to get there without waiting for his kid to enter the game. Unless there's some element of yet-to-be-introduced plot (from his travels, maybe?), Grandpa must have woken up somehow and pilfered the battleship from either Prospit or Derse depending on where he woke up.

This is all conjecture because, yeah, he's not wearing a magical dream outfit and he seems to operate on the same level of reality as the other Guardians. On the other hand he was able to interact with others' dreamselves. Not at all sure what that means, though, because it's not impossible for the real and the dream to be in the same place at once?

nnnrggh my head

Man Vriska's 7-iris eye is several kinds of weird without a lens.
