That raises an important point I forgot to address in my balls out rant.
Sexual identity develops over time. We already know something that develops over time at pretty much exactly the same rate as sexual identity (typical)- neuronal brain connections which are built largely in childhood and then during adulesoence both grow and prune strongly to make your final person. As these develop so does your sexual identity. And these develop mostly based on your environmental impacts (genetic factors are pretty minimal here, mostly they are important for shaping some vague poorly defined trends in brain development which are less important than environmental impacts)

I think that despite all this it is pretty safe to say both Dirk and Bro share the same sexuality for narrative reasons (exploring the younger versions of previously undeveloped Guardians mean we unearth aspects of the Guardian's personalities which were otherwise mysterious), despite the alternative possibilities which you can get from real-world science.

So, Roxy's browser, and therefore Denizen, is Nix.

The name itself sounds fitting for Void, but it turns out that's the name of a kind of Scandanavian water spirit.

Nyx, on the other hand, is a primordial goddess of night.

And Roxy's Calmasis wallpaper has two white snakes on it.

UU confirmed as SECRET WIZARD.

Complacency of the Learned's logo also had a pair of snakes on it.

And I once again note that there will be 12 players once the kids and trolls arrive.

I'm hoping for 13 since I don't want Sollux to be out of the story yet.

Naw man, the asteroid already left, and Sollux wasn't on it. He was a propellant for it.

G-Cat is a diiiiiiick.

Locke cole · 01-25-2012, 01:28 AM

This is what happens when you give a cat god powers.

A dog with god powers is a Good Dog/Best Friend
A murderer with god powers is a Bad Dog/Worst Enemy
An omniscient cue ball with god powers is an all-seeing trickster.

But a cat with god powers is just a spiteful dick.

Update.
Now she's thinking with the cake is a still alive companion cube.
Okay I think that's most of the obvious references out of the way.
