Let me give you a short timeline.
DECEMBER 15th, 2012:
- I finish and post the theory ENDGAME - Knight to D6, which relies upon the radical insinuation that there must be another, alternate Calliope who played instead of Caliborn somewhere, not merely doomed but brought nigh-implausibly into being via Dave scratching Caliborn’s session. Crazy, right?
LITERALLY ONLY THREE DAYS LATER:
- This update happens:
TG: why not come out and be all like
TG: here i am yo its me! secret weapon ghost callie ;)
UU: becaUse i am no sUch thing!
UU: i was already Useless against my brother when he was jUst a brat who liked to tease me.
UU: now that he is an exceptionally mUscUlar and invincible adUlt, my chances are laUghable.
UU: no, if i am to contribUte, i need more time.
UU: i mUst go in search of my own weapon.
TG: what weapon?
UU: ironically, the same weapon which many of them are looking for.
UU: me!
TG: ??
UU: it’s the only sliver of hope i have.
UU: i have reason to sUspect there may be another iteration of myself oUt here.
UU: one from a doomed timeline, who has kept hidden for a long time, jUst like i have.
UU: bUt Unlike me, she sUpposedly came from a reality where she predominated instead of my brother.
UU: and not by the means which i described. hers was not a mild Union of reconciliation.
UU: amazingly, her predomination was absolUte! a major feat of will, jUst as his was with me.
UU: as sUch, she went on to play the game, and…
UU: well, i cannot even imagine what followed, aside from the fact that she eventUally mUst have died for existing in an offshoot reality.
UU: if she exists, i woUld be eager to meet her. it woUld be a chance to get to know a version of myself who was strong enoUgh to override the will of my brother.
UU: someone i might have become if i had a little more coUrage. u_u
UU: and if she is sUch a person, then i really believe all i have heard mUst be trUe. i believe she is the key to defeating him.
UU: so i have no choice.
UU: i mUst go in search of myself.
First of all, I think those two events are a pretty solid reason to think this alone, damn the technicalities (see below). The rationale is that Calliope is wrong to assume that the alternate her is doomed, et cetera.
(Second… heheh, I just got that little thing in there, if Calliope is going to help she “needs more time”! That’s a nice way to refer to her predomination being an integration of her opposite role (Lord of Time) with herself, or even a bit of a tiny Dave-scratching-session reference. I’ll have to remember to put that in the cherub post.)
Third,
You grab his VOODOO DOLL, and stick his pin in there for good measure. Might as well keep track of everyone you’ve offed this way too.
Not that you intend to abuse its power to settle your score. What’s the point if you’re not gonna get your hands dirty.
Still, it might come in handy down the road. Lord English is supposedly indestructible. He’s rumored to be killable only through a number of glitches and exploits in spacetime. The doll may ultimately help you work the system if it comes to that.
Due to his indomita8le nature, I 8elieve victory over his sister was a foregone conclusion. 8arring a highly impro8a8le glitch in causality, it would 8e almost impossi8le for her to predomin8te over someone like him.
ARADIA: but dave dont worry if you do not have instructions for us
ARADIA: the knight of time is not necessarily the tactician
ARADIA: he is a powerful warrior class which exploits the flow of time as a weapon
And about a hundred other goddamn indicators.
Here’s the thing: There are technicalities in the way, sure! But when foreshadowing so heavily indicates something will happen, you’ll find that the technicalities find themselves evaporating at the critical moment. That’s been the pattern in Homestuck all along:
- Oh no, what if all this ominous stuff around Bec means that he’ll be PROTOTYPED??? Wait, no, that can’t happen, only dead things are supposed to be prototyped… but he could force himself in because he’s EVIL no wait he seems to be genuinely taking care of Jade and not Doc-Scratch-like… but he could force himself in ANYWAY no wait why would he do that there’s no reason to… AHAHA I guess I was worried for nothing, there are too many technicalities in the way of him EVER jumping into the oh wait he’s hopping into the seizure kernel.
- What if the GUARDIANS PLAYED SBURB??! I’m getting all these hints, vaguely casting things in the direction o- *several acts showing its implausibility later* - well I guess not. Damn. Suppose I can just forget about that ever happeni- *several subacts later* well god damn a post scratch guardian session what do you fucking know??
- I made this very same mistake in initially disbelieving the post-Cascade theories that Vriska would destroy the Green Sun, instead of investigating the foreshadowing closer.
Et cetera.
And do you really think there’s no way to scratch Caliborn’s session when his whole session’s an elaborate pool game??
If Caliborn’s session is going to be scratched, then yes, some pretty weird things have to happen. But if you haven’t seen me mention those things in scattered places on my blog already, then you’ll have to wait for my Cherub Post for the full rundown, which will give you a rather whole and probable case, I hope.
It involves Davesprite and a tiny pair of Stiller shades.
