I think that might be partly another dream thing. Since he already experienced dying so much, it didn't shock him enough to be woken up by it, and took advantage of his body daringness to envision himself as being made of breath (but not Maid of Breath).

Poor Jack can't catch a break. Can't a guy kill someone without them coming back to life and bashing him on the head with a hammer?

I hope becoming their element isn't a dream thing, because then Equius could turn into a black hole.

Wait, he's dead. He could probably do it anyway then!

Once again, Breath proves to be pretty much the best power. Why aren't there more attributes that give unique superpowers like that? I really liked my theory that Heroes of Life could create and control plants. But nope, they're just healers. Boring.

But hey, maybe Heroes of Blood use actual blood in their attacks? That'd be pretty wicked.

>>68929
Maybe Heir is Maid's active counterpart (or vice versa)?

Jack gets breathported and attacked from behind for once. Oh the irony

>8onk.

>>68935
Hey now, we haven't really seen a fully realized Life player in action. Feferi was woefully neglected, Meenah is a godtier but also a thief (leech rather than heal) and dead, and Jane's only display of life powers was an automatic defense mechanism.

I imagine we'll see something interesting from either Meenah or Jane in the future.

bad
ass

also that's some nice application of that seer stuff rose

>>68939
> Feferi was woefully neglected
Not completely.

>>68933
Wasn't he one of the ghosts LE hyperbeamed? He's as dead as it gets.

>>68944
Or is he?

Seeing he is the Heir of Void their might be a small chance that he was able to avoid that attack. Though becoming one's aspect might be a godtier-level power so I don't know...hmm...

How a character uses their aspect seems to mostly be based on their title. You're also underestimating Heroes of Life. The Condesce was able to keep her Helmsman effectively the same age for thousands of years. Jane was able to bring herself back to life after she died. That stuff is a pretty big deal if you think about it. Also we haven't really seen anyone use a Life power offensively, so we don't know what kind of stuff Life players are really capable of. It's possible that extremely high leveled Heroes of Life with the right title would be capable of creating entirely new life. It would make them worthy of the GOD-tier, at least.

Karkat could very well end up doing some blood-bending by the end of Homestuck. The aspects aren't always that literal though, even for active classes. Vriska was a Thief of Light but she stole luck, not sunshine.

This is just a theory, but I can see Blood being code for 'unification' in the same way Light is code for 'fortune.' Karkat took a very divided group of trolls and, if only for a little while, united them against one cause. If knights are meant to use their aspect for offense (pretty sure that's been said at some point), then this would've been a way for Karkat to do that; using unity as an offensive weapon by uniting everyone against something and making them focus all of their efforts into working against whatever that thing is. Maybe now that Karkat is helping Meenah, he'll actually get all of the dead pre-scratch trolls focused on working together and beating Lord English. Or he'll just blood bend, I don't know.


Sorry if this post belongs in the Idea & Theory thread, but the discussion IS turning towards what players can do with their powers so . . .

>>68944
Maybe that was actually supposed to happen to him? Like, it was part of the game's 'plan' that it has for all of its players.

He is the Heir of Void, getting laserfucked out of existence by Lord English is about as much as that title can get fulfilled. Dunno how this would be useful at all, but who knows, maybe this is what needed to happen to Equius for his role in this story to actually start.

I love Jack's little "why are none of these kids staying dead?!?" face before he get vrilly8onked.

>>68947
> I can see Blood being code for 'unification' in the same way Light is code for 'fortune.'
See, that's what irritates me; only three or four aspects actually have any tangible potency. Light, Hope, Doom, Rage, Mind, Heart, Void... all of those are either concepts or code for concepts (Light = Fate, Heart = Souls). And I get that some classes are more offensively oriented than others, but it seems like the vast majority of classes would have no offensive capability whatsoever.

Breath also seems to be the odd one out by being the only aspect associated with a classical element.

>>68952
But there seems to be some evidence that a little bit of literal shit comes with the coded crap. Like how aranea can make people "see the light" by either bestowing them with understanding or literally healing blindness.

Also, I think that 9 times out of ten one's player title isn't supposed to be their main source of battle prowress. Terezi was a seer of mind, so she just beat stuff up with her cane like a normal person because even people with passive-ass titles have to fight shit in sburb.

In other news, Bryan Lee O'Malley interviewed Andrew, and it's good. I love it when fellow artists interview each other because they tend to ask better questions than "where do you get yr ideas" and stuff like that.

>>68959
Wow, I didn't notice the first time around how sad and poignant it is that Grimdark Rose's reaction upon being forced to examine her dead mother is "There's no sign of Jack here, he must be somewhere in the castle."
Shit.

Welp, looks like jack is going to go ballistic.

So did John just roll really low, or does the vrillyhoo have more silly John related outcomes? Because I'd love to see John accidentally roll ancestral awakening. What the fuck would even happen

>>68970
1. Pony Stampede
2. T-Rex
3. Elf
4. Prank
5. Rerollx2
6. McConaughey
7. Naptime
8. Ridiculous Hat

>>68970
They're dice, they're random in their nature.

I bet this hammer would be supper effective if Vriska and John swung it together.

>>68971
>naptime
Instant K.O hits could be pretty cool.

But yeah, Jack's gonna go fucking nuts when he sees that hat.

>>68971
On another note, based on pixel counts John only needs to hit Jack 8 more times to defeat him! It is sooo possible! Just probably not in this sequence.

>>68974
Unless, of course, one of Jack's powers we haven't seen yet is called LADDER TO HELL.

>>68975
Oh fuck no. I would cry then quit Homestuck.

Did anyone else think that Jack and John were actually going to talk when they saw the dialoglog?

Also, I wonder how PM is going to act towards John. Last time she saw him was way back after Descend. At the time she seemed pretty pissed at him because, since the package with the bunny was for him, I guess she thought he was indirectly responsible for all the bad shit that happened.

So, will this be Jack vs PM and John?

Or will it be Jack vs John vs PM 3 way battle?

oh no, a girl! I can't fight with a girl watching!

well after seeing that hat, I think John isn't so ragey anymore at least.

He just had to let off some steam fighting an invincible dog demon, that's all.

Jack is absurdly kawaii when he gets really angry and just starts barking.

>>68984
I think John will actually protect Jack once he sees him being so helpless against PM, which will further show Jack the value in not immediately killing everyone as soon as possible.

>>68994
>protect Jack
>The guy who KILLED his DAD.

haha,no.

>>68994
Who says Jack is helpless vs. PM? I think the idea is that they're equally matched in power and Jack would rather chase an asteroid full of graveyard stuffers than fight someone on even footing.

>>68997
He isn't helpless, but he seemed fairly nervous when trying to fight her, and might act helpless enough for John to go "Stop fighting, doggies, I'm just gonna put both of you in your kennels." He might let her beat the tar out of him, but I think there's a possibility of this Jack not becoming dead just yet. Alternately, John fails to realise PM isn't just some kind of recolored Jack and gets into a fight that temporarily distracts her. If that happens I think Jack is smart enough to take the opportunity and split.

So Grey DeLisle's taken an interest in Homestuck now. Wants to VA in the game if there's voice acting.

As awesome as it would be for Rufio to do the voice of Tavros, I don't see him as a good va for Tavros. My ideal VA for Tavros is Michael Sinterniklaas, but that's just me.

And here is her voice over for Rose:

... the fuck just happened?

>>69016
John lost his unfathomable bloodlust due to the appearance of the bunny sassacre hat
Jack got all spaghetti after his crush saw him wearing a stupid hat and split
PM sidled up to John to say hey.

are we sageing

>>69000
I wonder what other voice actors will Hussie's $ 2.5 million lure in.

Fan VAs and these unofficial pro VAs voicing Homestuck is cool, but I don't want them anywhere near the game or Homestuck proper. VAs have their annoying ways of projecting their opinions onto the characters they voice.
