#the plot point

[sleepyfellow03]

wait a minute

The Plot Point is a black hole. Black holes have redshift around them.

There was no redshift.

wait, new cherubs? is this Thing foreshadowing new cherubs? is that a cue ball and an 8 ball in their mouths or am i reading into it too much? space and void? sideways hourglass? looks like some hope symbolism as well

im insane

I have but one thought about the upd8.

Mind you, I don’t necessarily think the plot point is THE SAME as a stargate from stargate, but I do think it will serve the same purpose: a transportation device between worlds. Perhaps it serves best to transport between meat and candy? Maybe other timelines, too..

[Image ID: A screenshot of two graphs from the HS:BC’s project organization panel for SAHcon 2024. The two graphs are labelled “Writers Schedule” and “Artists Schedule”. Both have several columns with the update number, whether it is in meat or candy, a description of the update, the artists working on it, the art styles, and dates for outlines/storyboards, rough drafts/sketches, and final drafts/coloring. Each graph has four rows, the first three describing HS:BC updates of the past two months. The fourth row describes an update that has not happened yet, with the description column reading, “Vriska inside the Singularity, over a year has passed. She is going through making amends with her past.” /.End ID]

Beyond Canon re: p666.5

Oh boy, I didn't expect this!

Seems like while Vriska was busy getting traumatized, Davepeta had a private conversation.

In a meta sense, it makes sense that they (Davepeta & Jasprose) are able to talk across the barrier of the Black Hole. For one, sprite magic. For another, both are currently in planes with a more 'flexible' set of physical rules.

So, time is indeed still passing outside the chamber. Meaning Vriska might end up being popped out at the most narratively satisfying moment! I mean, it could be Jane's invasion's in full swing by the time she gets out.

Because let's face it, Davepeta totally jinxed it and they're going to be stuck in there for another four years.

Didn't consider it before, but Candy Jane going through a parallel sort of development as Vriska is cause for circumstantial simultaneity! Although, in fact, Jane's in there with a lot more people. Even NPCs like Swifer Eggmop and her moirail! I wonder if the Midnight Crew/Problem Sleuth characters are going to hitch a ride back into canon? ... Is there a Felt in this version of Midnight City? Beyond Snowman, I mean?

And while it's "only" been one night... Yeah, in reality it's going to be at least 3 years, huh? Or however long the trip to Deltritus is going to take everyone else.

Man, but I wonder if Jane's crew, Vriska, and the Deltritus-bound crews are even all still going to be the same temporal ages? Aside from Aradia & potentially Terezi, I mean. Not that it matters a lot beyond for Calliope, Kanaya, Karkat and Terezi.

Blaperile had a good point, this was the first Dave/Rose conversation in Beyond Canon so far. And even they are not physically near one another.

I got to say, Jasprose seems to have calmed down from before, like GCATavrosprite she seems to have found a new equilibrium. Let's see where it goes! If she's more lucid, that would be nice. She with Roxy is currently the only person alive to remember the pre-retcon timeline. Well, it depends on how much Terezi saw with her powers, but you know what I mean.

Or wait no, Davepeta would remember it as well, being part pre-retcon Davesprite.

But a lucid Jasprosesprite^2 interacting with either current iteration of Rose seems like it would be gold. She, like Nannasprite, might not be the 'real' version anymore, but she certainly feels like the more 'true' one at this point. Which is kind of hilarious given what she was like, initially after fusing with Jaspersprite.

Love the fact that both sprites^2 are in separate types of planes though. Makes sense the Plot Point is a hyperconcentration of one of the three parts of a good alpha timeline. But Midnight City's deniability is funny as well, I guess it's due to its partial overlap between carapace post-apocalypse society and human detective fantasy novel. :p

And good for Jasprose, continually kicking the habit and staying sober! I misunderstood it at first, that she actually drank martinis, but no, she tries to order milk in martini bars, aggravating the bartenders, good on her! (I mean, "matronal ambrosia" could have referred to martinis, right? It was what Mom lugged around all the time, after all.)

I do wonder if Meat Jake is going to be able to speedrun the epiphanies he had in the Candy timeline, perhaps assisted by Brain Ghost Dirk. Not necessarily to reveal himself as a hero, as Jasprose seems to, ahum, hope.

"JR" as a nickname for Jasprose, I like that.

Nice of them to give a shortcut back to the prologue on the main screen.

Now if only I got the page working on the main page again, without entering private mode. Guess I should try that cache clearing at one point.

Oh?

Oh?

Holy fucking shit.

...

Actually, y'know this is actually interesting because Cherub stuff seems to always have a certain style to it.

Interesting.
