This is only a small bit that I can contribute to your artfully constructed and likely extremely true theorypile... but, knowing that alt universe Alpha memories are a thing, the connection to the Cherub key makes sense symbollically, I feel, because Jane Crocker was the one Calliope entrusted with the red-green swirl lollipop juju--juju's meaning being roughly adjacent to "heirloom"--setting a precedent for Jane as exclusively connected to especially Cherub-relevant Jujus among her peers.

Very true. Jane’s receival of the lollipop is even couched in her relationship to the Batterwitch, going by this log:

Makes sense another Jane would receive a similar inheritance.

P3P is the only non homophobic persona. the only game that explores gnostic themes deeply in all of the series is not a persona, its shin megami tensei 3. its such a beautiful and moving take on it too. emulate that if you ever want to skip the bullshit and get to the real stuff, somehow the corporation wasnt able to screw that one up

so i should cop to being an immense Shin Megami Tensei nerd at this point, I guess? I’ve played Nocturne and I fucking love it, though I’ve never finished it. I definitely think you’re right that it comes the closest to delivering on the franchise themes from what I have consumed of it, which is, a lot. Most of the game through various lps and cutscenes and stuff even for what i havent played.

though there’s a couple other SMT games I also think are good: 

Devil Survivor aims and lands mostly high even though it is AGAIN hamstrung by twee anime shit, I like SMT: Strange Journey a TON and it has Very Little of that garbage for the most part, Persona 3 (Portable) is indeed probably the best persona for being non-homophobic though ironically it plays with LGBT themes a lot less than 4 (i have no idea how 5 does it other than i know theres no same sex romance options which, fuck that)

i could like seriously do a youtube series just about this franchise and probably will someday i love smt so much

omg, i seriously had no idea!! you even know way more than me about the series, which owns and im taking notes here. im really happy youve had the experience of playing that too. smt3 is a game i can never get out of my mind.

yeah its really something else. i usually dont talk about them cause im so busy with homestuck lately but theres a good number of other things i am as absolutely batshit about, and SMT is one of them.

anotherwitchofbreath replied to your post: Theory: Caliborn Wrote The Ending, with proof

I’m curious about how this works… I mean, do we write it all off? Are all the romances merely fanservice towards a facade, or is this a real situation crafted by Caliborn? It would like… really *sting* if stories about Gay Romance With Positive Outcomes were themselves part of some huge ruse. I don’t think that necessary follows from the theory, but I don’t want that to be the case…

This represents pretty much exactly my train of thought, honestly.  All I can say is I don’t think that’s the case--I think what we’re dealing with here is more complicated. But essentially right now we just have to wait and see how the comic handles the rest of it!  By the way, I saw your comment about Jane RE: Mind control, and I will probably provide my thoughts on that whenever I (as soon as possible) write about Jane. I feel I have a decent amount to say there--just not anything that relates to Jake’s actions, so if you dont see that there that will be why

my significant other... she showed me samples of your writing on the i like homestuck blog, and, we have been going through those together and just being continually blown away! you really help expand our understanding and appreciation for a story that already means so much to us. what else can i say but: thank you mara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You’re very welcome :D I’m glad you’re both enjoying.

If they never get out and are trapped forever how will John die? Doc Scratch was reasonably sure that when John died, it wouldn't be as a scoundrel, indicating that he will die, and not live in, infinite house hell.

Doc Scratch just meant that if/when John died for good it would be a Heroic death and not a Just one. Because John is a good egg.
