i highly suspect AA is kinda bullshitting with the "i am much older than you" thing. it reads kind of like she's basically saying "i'm older than you by a couple of days/months". also because man it'd be weird to have a bunch of 15 year olds and then one like, 17 year old in this group.

i also think ly'lac's metaphorphosis could perhaps be more tied to the game, something that happens upon godtiering like how trolls get wings.

Also I kind of think the session they're about to play will not be played in a way that satisfies the adults who made them play this game to begin with lol. Lylac is riddled with Apocalypse metaphors so I just feel like she's going to usher in the end somehow, and I can only think that means she ends this cycle of kids playing a game that hard, difficult, and sometimes unfair to mature or whatever.

I have more questions and not less about what exactly the nymph metamorphosis entails lol. Cus AA has presumably already undergone her metamorph but still has four eyes, whereas the Caretaker only has two!


I wonder if the Caretaker just having a big squid head, then, is less to do with the metamorphosis and more to do with the way adult humans stop having eyes or mouths sometimes - like an adult nymph becomes a plushified abstraction of themselves instead of a paper cutout or a shadow puppet the way humans and trolls do?

Love love LOVE the riffing on discord, especially if the 48 player session theory comes to fruition. Feels like the heyday of the fandom. AA is awesome.


God would it have killed Rose to process any childhood trauma?

@boringangel I hope this gets turned into real lore even if that means most of them die or get turned into horrorterrors presumably against their will. Q: As long as you don't go nuts with the alt text and add ASCII shapes and web links, this should prove to be an interesting development with you in your world.  Hussie answer: Don't worry, soon the alt text popups will contain entirely distinct, navigable web pages, delving into lavish backstory on the 48 squiddle session and the big trollfrog they made.I hope one of the characters we get super attached to gets transformed in front of us, much to their own horror and ours.

I think if they made this session create the troll session and close the loop, and only 3 successful sburb sessions ever happened in paradox space, it would make the multiverse of homestuck feel very tiny. I really like how say, Godfeels, has ran with the idea of there being nigh infinite chains and branches of aliens out there

@skyplayer that's kind of the thing though, right? the multiverse of homestuck is small. homestuck - and especially the deltritus plot - are about revelling in what homestuck there is and reifying it, and there's just not that much to work with. it's the same failure to grow up that defined the epilogues on a cosmic scale. even the stuff we've seen of the nymphs thus far are almost entirely built out of old pieces of homestuck. it's "new" but it's not new.

SHAPED OR MOLDED FORMS appear to have been formed from a plastic material through directly applied force.

ABSTRACT FORMS are of uncertain origin.

Saturday, August 16th, 2025, 2:14 AM3 days ago

@skyplayer She deconfirmed it in book 4 apparently lol but would be a neat loose reference.Andrew Hussie has joked on his formspring that the session that created the A1 universe was played by 48 Squiddles, later deconfirming its canonicity in Book 4's commentary.

Gog this is so cool. You can really tell that these were made by the 2 most ego maniacal characters in the game. Not even in a mean way, they've just both quite literally ego deathed so hard ones a robot. I can't wait to see how Dirk and Rose set up for the Nymphs to discover the game, and I can't wait to see AA bc they seem like a character I'm gonna like. :DDDDD

Solid update overall. I am still confused about where we even are right now but I'm just gonna roll with the updates cause these new characters are interesting.
