#pesterquest theory

[meow-moment]

Ok so I was looking for a pattern in Pesterquest troll releases and found that each volume follows a pattern according to zodiac signs (terezi, vriska, equius. vriska equius gamzee. Etc.) The next pairs will likely be eridan and aradia, feferi and tavros, and sollux and nepeta in that order.

But also look at this

HUSSIE YOU FUCK

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

[pentacene]

Ok, so, some thought on Aradia’s Pesterquest route. 

I’m wondering who ‘them’ is. I think it might actually be us. After MSPA reader and Aradia go through and put in inconsistencies, like Karkat’s sickle that he couldn’t have had before Sgrub and the kids having cellphones thing, she says this

Now, I actually remember people talking about how it didn’t make sense for Karkat to have his alchemized sickle in his route. I would bet that some of those other things they changed, like Dave’s ac unit, have made some people get upset about narrative consistency as well. 

It wouldn’t really make sense for the other people she could be talking about (Dirk, Doc Scratch, Hussie, or the pesterquest writers) to get mad about slight little inconsistencies like this. But fans ARE known to be nit-picky and annoyed about things like this, so she’s probably talking about us.

That just makes me wonder though... WHY does annoying the audience with little out of place details result in cracks in reality? I have some thoughts, but they’re like super meta and not very coherent.

Shocking Homesquared Theory

OK so pretty much everybody hates Evil Dirk Right???????  Most of us want Good Dirk back I think??  Well I think Good-Dirk (AKA not Ult Dirk) is gonna make a comeback, and here’s my theory for how/why.

SOOOO

We know that the Epilogues and Pesterquest are connected, because of the secret line where Dirk is telling Rose that someone is messing with the narrative.  H2 is continuing from the point of the epilogues.  The line being present in PQ makes it seem as though the events we see in the beginning of H2 are happening simultaneously as PQ, I think.  ALSO OF NOTE that these two works are updating simultaneously, I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

I think the events of PQ are going to effect H2 going forward.

Furthermore:::::::  the glitchiness! The ones that look like SBAHJ artifacts.  The GLITCH ARTIFACTS get more and more prominent as PQ continues.....

Where have we seen these Glitch Artifacts before >:?

Back toward the end of Homestuck, after [S] Game Over, when everything gets fucked.  Also it was noted by John I think(?) that the artifacting is actually physically present in their world, like characters can see it.  So I think the artifacting in PQ is also physically there, not just a visual gag.

So I remembered there was one thing that REALLY bothered me about the [s] Game Over ending, a seemingly significant plot point that never gets addressed again.  I no longer think it was just a joke or forgotten about.

The Original Dirk, who floats off into the glitchy space...  Never to be seen again

I think that the original Dirk actually floated off into the glitchspace, and the glitch space is going to act as a bridge into PesterQuest, and he is going to show up there.  And later, probably in H2.

(((((i’ll flip my fucking shit if 9000+ panels from now this comes true :T ))))

My Thoughts on Jade’s Route

Ok so I see some theories rolling around about the implications on some stuff in Jade’s route, and I think people are seeing this the wrong way. What I believe is that MSPA Reader sorta messed with things so important that that the world sorta split?? MSPA Reader basically made a No Sburb AU, but I think the timeline we know and love still exists. Why? Take a look.

Ok so notice how the guards look worried, it’s likely that they recognize Jade and are sorta like, “What the fuck is she doing here? She’s not supposed to be here (Not as her waking self anyway).” And then we get to this:

That is Jack as we see him in descend, which means he’d had to have been prototyped with the same things John, Rose, and Dave had used. That’s only possible if they played the game-- Or a group of very similar kids played. The game still exists.  And we see some of it’s players too.

The game clearly still exists, and is being played, so that can only mean this is some sort of quasi canon timeline.

[notsoheadless]

We were theorizing about what’s going on in pesterquest during my stream slkdfjslkdfh. Transcription of the theory under the cut:

So my theory goes like this. The Zappy powers are supposed to alter the alpha timeline WITHOUT causing a doomed timeline offshoot. Thus, it never creates a parallel reality, it just alters the one and only alpha timeline. Unless. Unless you change something so fundamental to the sequence of events that the timeline cannot logically exist anymore, for instance, if four kids never play a video game that their very existence depends on. So in this case, instead of altering the one and only alpha timeline, it actually did create an offshoot. However, since this offshoot was made with retcon powers, it is not doomed, and does not peter out. Since this timeline was once the OG Alpha Timeline, and is not a completely separate parallel timeline, anything that happened before John's birthday still happened the way it was supposed to. Their meteors still landed, bringing them as babies  to Earth, and the Temple also landed on its meteor. This is why the Temple in Alpha timeline 2 still links to the OG Beta Session. The session exists outside of normal time and space, so as long as you have a way to get there (like a transportalizer that originally came from it, located in the Temple), it doesn't matter where you're coming from. And the session still exists, because the OG Alpha Timeline still exists and still created it. Now there's another thing that still exists in the temple, they just don't have access to it, and that's OG Alpha Dave's lost copy of SBURB. It was in the time capsule when the Temple arrived on Earth, so logically it should still be there now after the timeline split. They just can’t get to it because the timer stopped, due to the session not happening in this timeline. However, if they somehow can access it, that means that they could still play SBURB, because as far as we know Alpha Dave 2 has NOT lost his copy of the game. Therefore they could play with Rose's copy, Bro's copy, OG Dave's copy, and Dave 2's copy.

Pesterquest Troll order predictions

Alright so considering that we are definitely not getting these guys in order of how we meet them in the comic. I'm going to put up my predictions on who we're going to get when. For the moment it seems like we're getting them in an order that revolves around their relationships with one another. Kanaya had a moment talking about Vriska and Karkat briefly spoke about Gamzee and now we are getting both of those two trolls next. so if we go based off of that a nice narrative pattern forms.

so here's my final guess.

karkat/kanaya -> gamzee/vriska -> tavros/terezi -> aradia/nepeta -> sollux/equius -> eridan/feferi

narratively speaking this order would make the most sense as Tavros has to be next after Gamzee and Vriska and Terezi would easily be after Vriska and Karkat. Then Tavros and Terezi would talk about their Flarping friends which would be Aradia and Nepeta. Aradia would talk about Sollux and Nepeta of course would talk about her moirail Equius. Finally Sollux would absolutely mention Eridan or Feferi so they would fit in wonderfully after him.

edit* well so far so wrong lol but I got eridan and fef in the same chapter so hey one point at least!

Crack Theory

MSPAR and Doc Scratch are related ectobiologically in some way. Kanaya has said that the ectobiology equipment is prone to producing mutations; maybe MSPAR is such a mutation? Or maybe they’re the child of Doc Scratch’s genes mixed with... Something else, which somehow inhibits the cue ball abilities? Them being related WOULD explain why he has any sway over them, since previously, Doc Scratch could only control people’s minds insofar as he could persuade them to do things, and his First Guardian powers shouldn’t allow him to do anything more than that.

This theory is most likely bullshit, FYI.
