Obvious things you missed 8: this isn't the most recent OTYM thread

Ok, so Feferi is a B1 troll, and was an ancestor in A1. Which means that now that B2 is happening with the A2 ancestors as trolls, that means that Feferi IS the batterwitch... right?

The Batterwitch is Her Imperial Condescension; i.e. Feferi's ancestor.

Feferi is an A2 troll (post-scratch troll) and was an ancestor in A1 (pre-scratch), the roles got reversed because of The Scratch. The B1 and B2 sessions are the kids' sessions.

I just realized that Jane and Feferi, our post-scratch Heroes of Life, are/were both heiresses to the same empress.

Who was also a Hero of Life (the Thief, specifically), pre-TrollScratch.

Oh God how'd I miss this one... it's probably been said before too...

Most trolls don't become rainbow drinkers, the troll equivalent of a vampire. Why is Kanaya special? She's a VIRGO, and only virgins become vampires. *facepalms at own stupity*

You know, I bet if I reread Homestuck I could find all sorts of stuff I missed before. BUT I DON'T HAVE THE TIME!!!

I don't think A1 Feferi will be playing any sort of role in the story.
If anything, she was like... the <opposite of batter><Meenah's role> instead of a Batterwitch.
So... like, a Würste-thief?*

* good, best, batter
bad, worse, würste

So... she's a sausage bandit?

No smooth, laid back sweettalker like DD would've managed to make her put that cigarette in her mouth out of anything but her own volition, if that's what you're asking.

[pherociousDuodecim]

This is a callback to this.

Nah, he alchemized the Fluorite Octet, which is also why there is a Scorpio symbol on the hammer.

A little late, but speaking of John's Vrillyhoo hammer...
I really want to see him pop an 8^8 on that thing. Please make Spiderbreath Windfang be what happens.

According to the wikia, Nepeta is wearing a partial fursuit made from animal skins. In Greek Mythology, one of the 12 labors of Herakles was to kill the Nemean Lion, a mythical creature whose pelt was so strong no bladed weapon could pierce it. So he ended up bludgeoning it to death and then skinning it with its own claws.

And how did Nepeta die, according to the wiki? She is beaten to death off screen.

Herakles is often shown wearing the Nemean Lion's pelt with its head on top of his own and the tail dragging behind him, which is more or less how Nepeta is wearing her hat and tail, although the hat is removable.

Given Hussie's tendencies to research his trolls mightily before putting them in the story, this CAN'T be a coincidence.

I have new love for Nepata after this. This is awesome and probably completely correct.

Add that to proximity to the strongest troll alive, and...

The Thief of Light stole the Seer's Light.

The Thief of Light stole the Seer's Light.

Stealing implies the thief came to possess it.

It took me half a minute to notice him in your post xD

[Kaleb702]

At first I was like, "wait that's a house" and then I was like "oh wait he said foreground not back -.-".

I just noticed that the entire Red Team was on Prospit and the entire Blue Team was on Derse.

(not including sollux who was on both)

Um....wow. How did I NOT pick up on that and HOW DID THEY ARRANGE THAT!?

1. because 2. magic.

It wasn't explained how, but probably "shenanigans".

it happened because predestination. The human universes were unwinnable because they weren't won, and they weren't won because they were unwinnable. Same situation.

So you're saying it was DESTINY?

another connection between broken glasses and a blackout:

jake stomps on brobot's glasses and passes out afterwards

[Blaperile]

I missed that the lights coming from certain rooms in Jade's house are the colors of Jane, Roxy and Dirk while Jake's is not burning.

For easy reference, look at the pictures on this blog post.
