Homesuck: Vriska Rising

I don't think Karkat is quite likely to ever legitly go god tier.

LOPAH and his Prospit are both gone.

Unless he gets another shot at it in the Alpha session.

Is there any rule in the Dream universe whatever the fuck it is that would prevent a future iteration of Karkat from appearing in the "past" after dying? It'd be kind of cool (and tragic) if Karkat actually went God Tier in the alpha timeline sometime before the comic ends, but then he dies.

He'd probably appear a bit older if that were the case, but it's not a possibility I'd write off either. The biggest piece of evidence I can think of for it being a dead doomed timeline Karkat is that him hooking up with Nepeta would sort of mirror what happened with dead doomed timeline John. At the very least, doomed John's appearance showed us that doomed timeline characters make it to the afterlife just fine, and are fully capable of interacting with characters from different timelines.

Also, the dream bubbles are part of the Furthest Ring, which doesn't really have linear time in the proper sense.

[BitVyper]

No, not linear time, but I'm saying that a god tier ALPHA Karkat would pretty much have to be older due to the fact that there's really no way he could go god tier on the asteroid (although who even knows on that one). Any memory he would have of being god tier would be of an at least slightly older form of himself. Granted, I'm not sure and difference of three years in age would be represented in sprite form so well, but I think he'd at least look different.

Like I said in my post though, I would by no means write the possibility off; I'm just pointing out one of the problems with it being alpha Karkat.

SBURB/SGRUB is a cheating game for cheaters!

Update.

Looks like we've learned a lot about why Bro!Dave and Mom!Rose have been such inattentive parents. Bummer.

[Locke cole]

W...

Whoa.

That's... that's heavy.

[Art of Hilt]

Daaaaaaaamn.
Just.
Damn.

On the OTHER hand
DIRK JUST ADMIT YOU ARE A HOMOSEXUAL
WE CAN ALL SEE IT DON'T BE SUCH AN ALTERNIAN TROLL ABOUT IT

...And I realized that this makes Roxy's drinking problem even more depressing.

It's not even mind-game booze.

[Art of Hilt]

Aw snap, I just realized.

TT: She is inundated with media coverage of those whom we've claimed as our parental figures.
TT: That they are not presently alive nor ever played that role for us as she understands it is just an extension of a much more elaborate and far reaching explanation, which is much harder for anyone to digest in its entirety.

"we've claimed as our parental figures"
"not presently alive nor ever played that role for us"

AG: There are adult trolls who we can rel8 to, if we choose to, and if we are lucky enough to discover who they are.
AG: 8ut it is not really in a familial sense, at least not socially speaking, the way you understand family. They are more like figures of legend, who are said to have more in common with us genetically than any other troll. 8ut we can never meet them of course. Only look up to them, and follow in their footsteps, 8ecause they died centuries ago.
EB: like...
EB: ancestors?
AG: Yeah!
AG: We are each supposed to have one, and if you 8elieve the lore a8out it, your destiny will 8e tied to theirs. You will find clues pointing to them and who they were, 8ut you will only notice them if your eyes are open.
AG: You then can choose to take up the life they left for you. And if you do, they will always 8e looking out for you, and guide you in finishing what they started.
