That update! Everything in the 6th act is coming together. Like the inevitable toll that follows the hitting of a bell. But to whom the bell tolls I presume...? The situation is as it currently appears on the great tapestry that is 'Homestuck'. Crafted by the Hussie himself, Everything in the 6th act has finally led to the next step. But in the midst of conclusion I find myself with a need... to summarize the recent events of act 6 up to this point.
Calliope followed the actions of the human/ troll and alpha sessions and wrote them down. Calliope also sends Jane her juju.
Caliborn Has his sister's books and the screens that see all of the alpha kids session (and perhaps a lot more than that).
Caliborn Exists due to a paradox. He is in a single player session from the race that the human game created. But in order to create the session where he was created he needed to restart the human’s session But in order to even produce the humans session he needed to control both troll sessions. Caliborn is able to affect all the sessions and universes through lil’ cal; ’every session where that puppet appears is doomed’. (Caliborn appears in all sessions in different forms [alpha: Calijack, Beta: Lord English, Troll: Doc Scratch.] ) All this is a nudge and push here and there to make sure the universe he is created from is created... but if the loop were to be broken...
The use of clowns (Gamzee) is caused by Hussies influence on Caliborn as well as a part of caliborns plan. Because Gamzee was there to help Caliborne he had to use Aradia's ancestor and the Condesce to create a caste system where clown trolls become the enforcers of the Condecse’s (Caliborn’s) power. Gamzee is eventually produced from this and becomes Caliborn’s slave. possibly leading to the vast joke which we will shortly see.
Lets not forget Hussie is a player in this game as well. Not under any sort of control Hussie unwittingly starts the mayhem in the beta kids session when he attacks Doc Scratch.
Like a fucking clown ass jock strap he rings the fandom around on these actions that are overworked and most Verbose.
But anyway…
(Personally I just prefer the first 4 kids. Personally I would like to see more of the original 4 kids and trolls. But…) Like Caliborn we are forced to watch the (worst) parts of the 6th act, where the story was going nowhere. So the Lollipop was introduced not only to get the drama to come to a conclusion between the alpha kids but also to Finally advance the larger story. Reaching the conclusion
After watching for so long, viewing all the quirks the short comings and the drama between the ‘Alpha’ kids Caliborn hatched a great trap. Like the chesse game with Calliope, Caliborn set up his pieces…place Jack in the prospite Jail. intercept and manipulate Jake’s crumbling relationships and dirk, Jane and Roxy’s unvoiced or misplaced feelings.
when Jake forgets about Jane’s birthday Caliborn easily escalates Jane’s emotions. Caliborn assuming/ knowing that calliope sent her juju to Jane gave Jake his juju because he knew that Jake would try to make up his actions by sending Jane the (other half of the) lollipop The first half of the plan goes off easy(?). Jane naturally combines them… by either the pull of the lollipop or by the force of the condesce. All the drama finally reaches its climax when Dirk confronts Jake.
Caliborn did not plan to fight Jake, or at least not in his current form. He created that alliance so he could fool Jake into receiving the lollipop.
The Condesce is a game piece in all of this as well. another piece of Caliborn’s game. Through Doc Scratch (who was Caliborn the whole time) shows the ancestor trolls how to restart their section. this makes available Aradia's Ancestor and ‘the condecse’. Aradia’s ancestor became the piece that would be the greatest effect to the trolls culture in the long term. Caliborn/ Doc Scratch orchestrates the Vast Glub that would force return the Condesce to Alternia from her galactic conquest. After a short fight the Condesce replaces Aradias ancestor as Caliborn's assistant. She controls Jane and G-cat and floods the earth to start the Alpha kids session As caliborn's assistant she is ordered to keep jack at the prospit jail. When the alpha kids blackout from trickster mode they are probably teleported by G-cat to each crypt.
Jack is an interesting piece. His many incarnations effecting the main story. Becomes Bec Noir, Spade Slick, CalliJack. He forces the scratch when he destroys the planets in the kids and trolls session. He destroys the trolls universe by killing Sn0wman. There is also roboJack whom we have not heard from since he was pushed into the water.
all that was left was to make the switch between king and queen.
Calliborne possesses jack to kill Jane and Jake He will then teleport through the prospite/derse teleportation system and then kill Dirk and Roxy and force the alpha kids into god tier.
or at least that’s the most obvious action.
With Lord English on the way Caliborn could be doing this to push Jake towards becoming a better opponent.
there are 2 things to consider.
1. The condesce’s plan that was shown to Roxy. We currently don’t know but due to circumstances we will shortly find out.
2. The original kids. Finally advancing the greater whole of the story.
All these actions build up to the fact that Caliborn is trying to enter his game like he was going to with his sister before he killed her. Because of the void session (and the actions of Hussie with the screen Towers and Gamzee) caliborn can not enter a game session. So he manipulates all of the events of homestuck through the use of the screens and calliope's book to create the universe he was derived from. Perhaps He will probably try to enter the door carried over from the beta session when it is transported into the alpha session. This will be the place of the final showdown that the story has been building up too...
In the end there are a few factions:
Caliborn/ Lord English, gamzee and Condesce
Dream (troll) army / calliope
beta kids/ remaining trolls
alpha kids
Bec Noir and PM
(Hussie)
So what does the future hold for our large cast of hero’s?!
What sort of things will be reveled after Act 6 - act 5?
The original kids session will finally be payed attention too.
We will see what happened between the 4 original kids.
