Because she doesn’t have to worry about her revival limit if she’s technically not DEAD yet. She’s not constantly reviving herself, she’s just KEEPING herself alive. Even when it quite nearly only makes only cartoonish sense and the only way she can speak is magically, ignoring the fact of her lungs with sheer godhood (ignoring any need for breath or blood with sheer Life Energy), which is just hilarious and I’m all for it.

Jane’s actions throughout this final conflict and here have also shown the true scale of power a God-Tier player can tap into that the players weren’t experienced enough to try or figure out back in their youth, which really makes her FEEL like a Goddess, and I greatly appreciate that.

(Part 1 link) Part 2 of the commentary for the flash just came out on Patreon! I’m reading through for anything especially clarifying or plot-relevant under the cut, skipping most of the fluff and not-specifically-understanding-relevant stuff as usual so Patreon subscribers can enjoy it.

Yes, it’s spread out but I’ve been dripfeeding guesses for that throughout my liveblog of Homestuck^2 over the past 4+ years! Let me see if I can centralize/condense my current 2025-03-29 thoughts on the Omega Kids’ likely classpects with links to some of my prior discussion thereof:

• Vrissy: Witch of Mind
• Harry: Page(?) of Heart
• Tavvy: ??? of Life
• Yiffy: ??? of Rage (or Time)

I was helped in putting together something pretty huge this week, Aspect-ways. Sometimes lately, I’ve been chatting with Taz (aka optimisticDuelist, @utopianparadoxist) and we discuss or debate over character and Aspect interpretations, or they link me some interesting thoughts they’ve posted blogways or from a third party. This time we were discussing a post they made on Void’s potential connection to Gravity and all its potential conflated meanings, such as Love pulling things together, which they based on analysis stemming from @lime-bloods’s Void/Home association theoryposts – I was skeptical of this Gravity interpretation, for reasons I’ll go into later below the cut, but one of those reasons was I felt as if paired terms between Light and Void are important when solidifying the domains of each Aspect, and I couldn’t think of one for Void’s “Gravity” that had a Light equivalent. For example, recently I had the belated inspiration in terminology, for instance, that Light is “Location” where Void is “Dislocation”, a perfect tie between Light’s links to Maps and Landmarks contrasting it with Pumpkin-like “disconnectedness from spacetime” and ability to appear anywhere, which I quickly added to the Aspect Duality post in late February (I should add the edit date in on that).

And while we were tossing the idea around, we stumbled on another set of even MORE important paired Light/Void terms that made me do an acrobatic pirouette off the fucking handle. I got permission to paste the conversation:

• BOOTS: otherwise there might be other aspects that better fit what’s going on
• ((does Light “Push” where Void “Pulls”? could that be it? no, that sounds more like Breath and Blood…))
• ((actually that might be really important to Breath and Blood, shit! wind pushes forward/outward, chains pull in))
• TAZ: I think its pretty fair to say that its a nebulous and abstract reading where a lot of the evidence is hard to parse, like I said at the end of the post I definitely still feel like I’m missing stuff about Void
• And I also agree that other aspects have a lot of room to play in this space and overtake Void in readings, primarily Heart and Blood in this context
• BOOTS: ((and the “inescapability” of black holes carried Blood associations with other inescapable things))
• TAZ: Indeed
• TAZ: But isn’t that part of the nature of Void? To be a subtle force that falls into the backdrop and lets other things more visibly take over?
• BOOTS: you could call that descending into the Ocean, into the abyss over a cliff, into irrelevance; it’s Descent, but not necessarily Gravi—
• AAAAAAA
• AAAAAAAAAA
• AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
• TAZ: Well this is exciting
• BOOTS: LIGHT IS ASCENT, VOID IS DESCENT
• TAZ: Yeah, I can see that
• BOOTS: there are so many fucking associations across the comic and I’m remembering so many of them oh my god

And that Gravity is wrapped up in this association as everything is naturally PULLED DOWN. The rest of the conversation is under the Read More cut where we started listing out more than a dozen freakin’ examples to each other that show how UTTERLY PERVASIVE a theme this has been throughout the entire goddamn comic, from the start right up to and including the very latest update of Beyond Canon. (Contains HS^2/Beyond Canon spoilers if you’re coming here from elsewhere, stop reading here if you’re not caught up to the 2025-03-26 update!)

EDIT: (Just a brief note I’m adding to this above the cut, but a Discord friend just gave me ANOTHER association to add to Light and Void: Outward vs Inward, Light’s outward projection the pair to Void’s inward gravity!!! Shining Stars versus Black Holes! Void’s Inwardness finally brings together its metaphysical ties with Heart and how the latter often sits isolated in the Ocean of Void like Dirk’s house, the natural inward-looking nature of Heart– compared to the outward-facing nature of Mind and its façades, tying Light and Mind together like Vriska and Terezi!)

(If you have strong questions or disagreements about some of the assertions I’ve made about Beyond Canon in the past few posts, such as how many characters are “wrong” or not and how, please consider using an account to send your disagreements to me instead of Anonymous so I have the option to answer privately! I have no obligation to spend too much public blog space rehashing arguments I’ve already made elsewhere, and if I feel like that’s what I’d be doing but a public response to an Anon Ask is the only way you give me to answer you, you probably won’t receive any response from me at all. I’m getting quite a number of anonymous Inbox messages like this in the last couple days, and they won’t get answered, but if you send it with an account instead I’ll Private Respond as much as you want. And if it’s worth clarifying or changing my position publicly, THEN I’ll publish my answer publicly instead.)

But John ISN’T right. The Candy timeline being a “funhouse reflection” doesn’t justify his proposed assertions and actions. I went into deep detail about that in my liveblog post, person by person. Just about all of the adults are wrong in important ways (besides Karkat), and are proving themselves wrong in that very conversation– but John is the MOST wrong, the furthest from the point of this story, the most obviously suffering from his shortcomings as a person.

You get the sense you may have missed something.

This line, as everyone is standing over him, isn’t just a joke about what’s going on behind them all… as I covered in my liveblog post, it’s a key statement about the core mistake John is making. About how ever since he arrived on Earth C, he’s been looking for “true meaning” everywhere outside himself when it has to come from within.

I don’t believe the above is a commonly-held opinion, especially after everything we just went through and all the themes of Homestuck^2 I’ve talked about on my liveblog, but I’ll answer this under the cut for those who still worry about this:

(EDIT: Added that the Cherubs Calliope and Caliborn were natural-born, not Paradox Clones, as per @florianricquart)

We don’t know what the constraints actually ARE on how many people could cross over; Vriska never specified. Is it just a physical or size constraint, or is it (possibly more likely) a constraint on how much relevance could be carried through the breach? How much irrelevance? How much each individual brought through adds or detracts from the overall chance of victory?
