And just followed it with the second intermission, which I think that I should rewatch if only because of how bizarre that was. Our first real look at Lord English and—
^^^ All of the "ew" in the world, my friend. I am grinning like crazy.
^ Points...
1. The Peregrine Mendicant did exactly what I thought she'd do, albeit not quite in the way that I necessarily would have expected. Such is par for the course.
2. Lord English was using Li'l Cal as a very literal puppet, and then exploiting Gamzee's dementia—I think—which was supremely creepy but made sense.
3. After releasing his Red Miles and laying waste to the universe, Bec Noir made Jade a god by putting her body on the Quest Bed and letting her merge with her nigh-omnipotent sprite-self.
4. Spades Slick shot his kismesis Snowman, thus allowing Lord English to enter his host, Doc Scratch.
5. Aradia's identical ancestor just flipped off said host... and thus inadvertently assured her fate as the one that would make that particular version of Alternia a hellhole.
6. Rose and Dave also reached their god tier forms by setting off The Tumor and exploding the Green Sun... sort of; they were assisted in this endeavour by Sollux in his life-death state and Aradia, who was already made godhead after exploding her robot form.
7. The cueball theme has to do with the sixteenfold nature of the code strewn throughout each timeline to provide the aforementioned host.
P.S. I was briefly reminded of Bokurano, which makes a lot of sense given the parallels, but this is way less... uh, soul-crushing.
1. Considering all the red herrings that pointed to the Mayor being Jack's counter, I'm quite impressed that you guessed this.
Btw, the bit with the Exiles also goes into my 'Hussie killing off characters when they're no longer necessary' folder. I mean, it's justified, but it still goes in the folder.
3. She has also become furry incarnate, which is way superior to those silly fursuits.
4. I believe that the trigger was actually the simultaneous destructions of Blue and Red Universes. You notice that the ruins of Doc's apartment are surrounded in green fire, right?
5. Eh, it was already in the charts.
7. Mmmm, not quite.
Lord English's spawning is connected to the Doc and the Doc alone. The code is related to the First Guardian of the universe, whatever it may be.
i honestly never really noticed felt the killing-offing in homestuck was gratuitous but w/e
For reasons unknown, Snowman's lifespan is directly tied to that of the Alternian Genesis Frog. This has made her, quite literally, the Alternian universe.
so Snowman's getting killed is what destroyed the blue universe i think
unless it's like some sort of cosmically enforced coincidence kinda thingy

Well, she was the new White Queen after the Questant abdicated, thus being the precise counter of the usurper Jack, who took his title by force. She was his equal and opposite.
3. She has also become furry incarnate, which is way superior to those silly fursuits.
She already did that! OK, her sprite-self did, but whatever. She is now an adorable wolf-girl.

Like Naney said. Then you again. Being the slo-mo ninja is so confusing! But in any case, Jack is always the catalyst in some form. He must always kill the Black Queen, whom he loves and hates. Very symbolic.
5. Eh, it was already in the charts.
Well, of course it was, but the circularity of it all was a nice touch.
On a completely different note, seeing the guardians as kids is pretty fascinating and humorous. Particularly Jade's grandpa/grandson and his blustery nerdiness. But also Jane/Nanna's prankster princess thing. Actually, I think that all of them are going to be great.
I really like how this act really reclaims the feeling of the first one, but switches things around in a way that is comfortably familiar yet totally new. Like seeing Tinkerbull and the other lusus-beasts on Jake's bed sheets.
So, Jake is a "Sir English" of sorts (to his troll girlfriend UU) and has a version of the more monstrous English's Cairo Coat as a computer in addition to other connected accoutrements. That's a bizarre bit of synchronicity. Obviously "not important in any way whatsoever," as Hussie would put it...
Well, they were jokingly flirting, and she does call him that. But yes, I suspected that stating that in that particular way was probably jumping the gun in an absurd way.
the most loathed character as far as i can tell seems to be Jane :<
Really?!
I really like her! She's spoiled, sure, but not in a mean or spiteful way. Plus, her fetch modus is weirdly entrancing, and in an odd way says a lot about her. And she's basically Nanna as a teenage girl, albeit raised differently, so... I'm a bit puzzled.
Meh. Bitches gonna bitch. I won't let fandom trends dictate my likes and dislikes!
I mean, seriously, Equius was great, and as much of a brat as he was, Eridan was a pretty interesting villain. So unpopularity is pretty much a moot point for me.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
To ward away a hated demon, one wears the skin of a worse demon.
That said, godtier forms are based on dream-forms which are based on the individual's idealized form. And Jade is a furry. So base your conclusions from there.

That first bit puzzles me. Just what do you mean, Kraken? Ah. I get it now. The Condesce fears Lord English. Thus.
To the second: Consider Jade's monologue about fantasising about turning into a wolf that reappeared in the Wayward Vagabond's dream. It was always there, buried in her subconscious; reaching her god tier simply actualised it.
OK, so the B2 Earth exhibits aspects of A1 Alternia in terms of its wildlife in certain areas? How strange. There is likely an explanation, but it seems that I will be forced to wait a pip for it...

This is less because of Jane's shortcomings and more because of her lack of shining skills.
Roxy has her amusing drunk speak, Jake has his short pants and Egbert-variety dorkiness, and Dave's Bro (do you know his name yet?), well, he's a cool anime dude with a sword. And those popularity-garnering bits outweigh their more obvious flaws. Jane doesn't have as much of that stuff, so it's easier for people to criticize her.

Hang.on, you totally blew past it already.

I apologize. That's the most cliche thing to say to a person after completing Act 5.
