Homesuck: Vriska Rising

[POS Industries]

I'm just going to add that it's a testament to how long Act 5 dragged on when UU was introduced a year and a half after her theme song.

The top comment in that vid reveals all of the shitload connections to astrology and genetics.

1) Umbral Ultimatum

2) The thirteenth semi-official astrological sign is Ophiuchus.

3) It's symbol? is a U with a tilde through it.

4) All of the troll's trollian handles are made of letters that represent chemicals in DNA (T, C, A, G).

5) U is a letter used to represent chemicals in RNA, a DNA variant.

6) This track sounds like the soundtrack of Spore, a game dealing with genetics (and an official inspiration for Homestuck, to boot).

Has your mind been blown, yet?

Well, uU's sign IS both grey AND light green.
Like a certain loud yet adorable partnership.

UU and the troll could be entirely different people.

Id initially assumed it was Crocker under the guise of a cheery and supportive grandmother, but that was only until I got midway into the conversation.

We don't know anything, yet.

If we assume that UU is not, in fact, the person we saw watching Jane from a computer with the Caduceus symbol on it shortly before UU contacts Jane and makes clear that he has been watching her, in spite of the fact that it lines up basically perfectly, then he is still someone with access to the technology to chat across time and universes, something we've only seen trollian permit. He hasn't started his game yet, so he can't have alchemized anything either.

They could be different people. That is a thing that's possible, but the much greater likelihood is on them being the same being.

OR, I'm a complete dumbshit and missed UU's chat Symbol.

bit of info on scratch!John.

why does the idea of him as a vaudevillian stage performer seem so right

also night court. And Feferi's tiara.

Given that being crushed by a baby-hauling meteor probably doesn't fall into either category of a "heroic" or "just" death, I think anyone leaning toward the idea that the kids went back in time to become the guardians can go ahead and abandon that notion.

Also John could never bring himself to be party to the ruination of Harry Anderson's career, come on.

I never realised anyone was leaning that way. I can't see any reason to think that at all, however that could totally be a heroic death if say, he could have stopped the meteor but didn't because he realised Jane would be on it and didn't want to accidentally hurt her.

But that doesn't change the fact that it's just a bad theory to begin with.
