Pointless Non-Characters that will be Extremely Important

[Krubby]

What we've learned from Problem Slueth is that the more insignificant and meaningless a nonentity or mute character is, the more important it will be. Added points to ones that someone has irrational emotions toward. For example, the Ethnic Mural that Sleuth loves earlier on than is suddenly terrified of, becomes an army of monsters he fights. Ace Dick hits some random Game of Life peg that looks like a woman. He is for some reason devastated by this and begs for her life. She lives and Ace then marries her. When she is gunned down later on, it raises DMK's emotion meter hugely, and turns out to be crucial to his defeat. The best one of all is Captain Snoop. He is just a random bust sitting on Kingpin's ship. When he is launched off he lands on a small, floating isle. When it drifts off, Problem Sleuth reaches out then lowers his arm sadly, suddenly deeply attached to it. Below it says "I'm sorry. You have to know when it is time to say goodbye. However, Captain Snoop's island is destroyed and he falls onto the flying legs of a candy mecha, smashes into the moon, drifts down to the Sleazy Brothel in the Sky, is blown off of the legs by a huge fan whose current had just finished travelling across the universe twice, falls through a giant puzzle cube floating in the sky, has the universe turn upside down to change his trajectory, gets sucked into a black hole, dodges the beams of a demon shooting lasers at demigoddesses, and smashes into DMK's weak spot, defeating him once and for all. And this all happens to some random bust of a rapper sitting on a ship's deck. Yeah, I bet you're going "wow" right now.

Anyways, I'm certain something like this will happen in Homestuck, possibly multiple times. List dumb things you think will be important! Here are my three:

Creepy Wolf Head: it magically appears anywhere that something extremely dramatic is going down, and it apparently summons lightning and darkens everything around it to give a spooky effect. Andrew is also terrified of it and also included it in the alive/dead character image with a frowny face drawn over it. If anything were to be a game changer against one of the most powerful antagonists, it's that.

Captain Snoop: He blocks Dirk's door. He was a hero once and I'm sure he'll be one again!

Dear, Sweet Casey: John loves her like a daughter and Rose assigns Casey as her familiar. I wouldn't be surprised if she has some hidden power that she releases at the critical moment.

I can think of others, but don't believe in them as much. Tell me your ideas now, and what you think of mine! ^ω^

[Ace of Dark-Hearts]

Serenity, obviously.

[Sporkaganza]

What do you mean "will" happen? There are plenty already! Probably the best example is the Con Air Bunny/Terry Kiser/Liv Tyler.

[Centimani]

Every. Goddamn. Crocodile.

The bastards were just driven into economic ruin three years ago when the Knight of Time jacked their everything.

[inkstainedScribbler]

Seconding Serenity. Also, Ms. Paint.

[Krubby]

Geromy. Yesh.

[Paninis Cupcake]

The Squiddles. OH SHI-

[Panda-s1]

Dear, Sweet Casey: John loves her like a daughter ^ω^

LOL NO.

No, goddammit John, now's not the time to be infatuated with your bad movie posters REUNITE WITH YOUR LOST DAUGHTER DAMMIT.

In front of your adopted daughter? That is just obscene.



FWIW, Andrew Hussie considers Snoop Dogg to be the only canonical PS character to show up in Homestuck (poster cameos aside).

Also, I'm pretty sure Ms. Paint has a much larger role than Hussie has let on.

[Dreamscythes231]

Yep. I remember when PM was just some girl who sends mail and then she became a badass that BEHEADED HB AND is currently fighting Jack toe to toe.

Probably the Felt. And the Dark and Noble Circle of Horrorterrors. They bubbled up the dream bubbles, but what are they hiding and what is there true purpose.

serenity is going to be instrumental in the downfall of lord english

"she is a tiny insect and cannot possibly lift more than the weight of a pumpkin seed"

"pumpkins for some reason are easier to take... like theyre unhinged from spacetime"

"lord english is rumoured to be killable only through a number of glitches and exploits in spacetime"

[Sargon of Akkad]

The mutant kitty, Vodka Mutini, because it disappeared from the story after John found the ectobiology lab. I figure it was on one of the meteors that went for Skaia, and will influence the story later. Besides, it's Roxy's symbol.

Wait. Doc Scratch's Deudly Magnum actually shot a pumpkin?
And if the Cueballs represent predestination and inevitability, that would mean English is vulnerable to a combination of glitches and inevitability when they're applied at once.

mutini got sent back to earth with rose's mother

but we dont know what happened to him(?) after that

I could have sworn that the text implied it was Jasper's parent.

[unbeliever536]

I don't think it's ever said anywhere that Muti is related to Jaspers, but it's possible. Muti is almost certainly its own ancestor, though, and quite possibly a direct paradox clone.

[Krubby]

How about Clover? He might still be alive. And yeah, I think Muti died of old age because (s)he was sent to the1970's.

[Kíeros]

I think it's safe to say that anything can easily become important if Hussie's driving the story. I think, however, that the box of gushers that caused the freakout will somehow come back and play a part in defeating Jack. Like John throws one at him, he steps on it, and incites the wrath of HIC.

[Sargon of Akkad]

I just checked back in the archives, and Vodka Mutini was the cat that Roxy threw to break the fenestrated plane.
The archives indicated that Mutie has been with Roxy for as long as she can remember. So maybe Mutie became encased in glass when it entered with Roxy?

Muti was not encased in glass when it went down on the meteor with Roxy, as seen in [s] Descend. Before the reveal that R&DAITF, it was reasonable to assume that Muti died on impact and B2 Rose encased the body in glass, much like how B1 Dirk turned Maplehoof into a bib. This exact position is now somewhat less reasonable, but someone (not Roxy) probably put Muti in glass on earth, before Roxy was old enough to remember.

[KevinHilt]

FedoraFreak, of course.

[Beelzebibble]

How about Clover? He might still be alive.

This is my vote. Hussie wouldn't have bothered putting a question mark by his name if he didn't intend for us to at least consider the possibility of Clover making a comeback (bear in mind Cans, who was in the same place at the same time, is officially dead). Personally I don't have much use for the little guy, but I guess his inordinate luck could be helpful somehow. It's just hard to imagine how he'd escape the dying universe.

[Thedude3445]

FedoraFreak, of course.

fedorafreak, charles dutton, nic cage, 2busy4this, and mrlifdoff already completed their session, all of them going God Tier forever and creating the most badass universe ever. Lord English is too afraid of them to face them.

Wait, so why would Clover be "Dead?" if Cans, HB, DD, and CD are "Dead"? That's odd.

When did that happen?

[Arcanum]

When did that happen?

When did it not happen? Happening is all that universe practically is!

In fact

It's already happening

Clover appears later in Doc Scratch's apartment. Also, I thought the awesome session was Cage, Fedorafreak, Stiller and the Big Man. †__†
