"Oh yeah, let me try him!"...

Aradia hopped into the Time Vortex as a sprite - but the version of her that emerged is rendered in a less symbolic manner. 

The end of the session is a big deal, so Aradia dressed for the occasion. 

FUTURE apocalypseArisen [FAA] 2:16 HOURS FROM NOW opened private transtimeline bulletin board r0ad t0 the und0ing.

Aradia refers to the result of her plan as the Undoing.

This is an event which accompanies the destruction of the universe, and is likely triggered by Snowman’s death. Aradia is still a puppet, and there is now no question whatsoever as to her puppeteer's intentions. 

They’re trying to summon Lord English.  

FAA: this private b0ard will and has already served as a l0g 0f past events f0r future selves t0 rec0rd and a guide 0f future events f0r past selves t0 f0ll0w FAA: i d0nt kn0w which half 0f its r0le has been 0r will be m0re imp0rtant FAA: p0ssibly neither is critical since deviati0n fr0m the c0urse is m0stly imp0ssible and reflecti0n 0n its traversal is c0mpletely irrelevant FAA: but im typing this anyway FAA: because im b0red again

Aradia’s dry wit is always a hoot. She’s still mostly emotionless here, even though we know her robot body is capable of having feelings. 

Maybe Aradia was never as void of personality as she was pretending to be. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was partially an act - a way to detach herself from the grim reality of her situation. 

PAST apocalypseArisen [PAA] 601 HOURS AGO responded to memo. PAA: and here i was thinking we were finished taking 0rders fr0m v0ices!

If the Voices were Horrorterrors, she couldn’t leave them behind by entering a session that they’re part of. We’re looking for an entity located outside the session, who has a vested interest in ending the universe. 

There is basically no chance whatsoever that the culprit isn't Doc Scratch. 

PAA: weve 0nly swapped the imperatives 0f the dead with th0se 0f 0ur future selves PAA: wh0 are als0 dead FAA: yes it seems that way PAA: 0h well it was an enj0yable reprieve fr0m fatalism while it lasted PAA: id nearly managed t0 sav0r it FAA: an err0r narr0wly av0ided then

Aradia’s manipulation is, at this point, completely artificial. The Voices are gone, but Homestuck’s own predestination system has kicked in, ‘forcing’ her to perform certain actions. 

I’ve talked before about how predestination in Homestuck seems to serve the game’s ends, at the expense of its Players - but why would Sgrub want to cause the Undoing? It sent a group of Exiles to rebuild civilization on Alternia, so I don’t know why it would want the planet destroyed. 

This particular instance of predestination seems to benefit Doc Scratch, at the game’s expense. Sgrub might not be the only entity that can twist fate to suit its own ends.

tinta de vento

corpos separándose da súa soidade mortalidade do reloxo dos instantes en que as veces flota a flor que unha onda atopa entón mirada

allea memoria lembra mentres estamos a ser             corpos e lugares alma inventada no desexo molde de sal dos amantes  

estiveron aquí sen sabelo      corpos entón memoria lugares sen dous que xa foron

Non sei dese estar separados

desertos

@thehoundofthebaskervilles (version):

wind ink bodies separating from their loneliness instant mortality of the clock in which the flower sometimes floats that a wave then finds gaze alien memory remembers while we are being bodies and places soul invented in desire salt mold of lovers they were here without knowing it bodies then memory places without two that have already been I don’t know about being separated

Thank you :)
