This is some analysis (mostly of UU/uu) supplemented by stuff I found funny. And because I don't wanna be a name dropper when we're talking about stuff like this, I changed some names in a certain conversation (into infinitely more interesting ones, because why not have fun while I'm at it?).
KALYN
I love the Feferi counterpart troll already!
I have a feeling she's gonna be a total bamf and probably the only female character I would totally bang haha
I mean
just
look at her!
oh and spoilers btw ha
Morgan brought up an interesting point though concerning this session's correspondence with the beta trolls session
namely, how?
the alpha trolls could correspond with the beta kids presumably because they created that universe after winning their own session
they were further connected because of Bec Noir creating the rift between the two sessions
JESSICA
true
KALYN
but how have the alpha kids been able to have these encounters with the beta trolls?
JESSICA
and she kinda looks like a punk
KALYN
is it gonna form some reacharound where the alpha kids end up creating the beta troll universe or something?
JESSICA
i've suggested that before .
KALYN
even though...the trolls seem to know something they don't, since they're just greeting them while the kids are like being generally befuddled by them.
JESSICA
it's almost like a figure eight
KALYN
yeah, very much so
bet sn0wman has something to do with this
ha
JESSICA
schweet
KALYN
'cept she's dead now
she was...kind of like the scratch, wasn't she?
JESSICA
sorry, in the middle of something, i'll come up with better responses later!
KALYN
you kill her, you kill the universe
that's fine, I'm just on a think tangent
Also, this is very much obvious right now, but just for the sake of connecting dots and filling in gaps
KALYN
Dirk and Roxy totally know a lot about their session, the Condesce, and her involvement in the (apparent) deaths of their guardians because of her rule on Derse and the fact that Dirk has been awake on Derse the whole time and Roxy...sleepwalks a lot on Derse, but does she dream? Maybe she gets more knowledge from those Dersian exiles in her lab.
I think these trolls are like complete opposites from their alpha counterparts. Vriska's counterpart was really kind of preppy and looked a little retro, and Fef's counterpart is totally punk rock rather than all girly and pretty.
…
MORGAN
AH HOLY SHIT! *SPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERS!*
bitch is a flash stepper
and ...
and... she... she's... i ... don't do it! DX
actually, I'm a bit confused about the trolls right now so... my ramblings are completely incoherent...
and it's good to see that they have the same typing quirks, otherwise that might be tedious as fuck.
EMILY
UU doesn't
KALYN
UU's like a different troll. The fabled "thirteenth troll" I think? Yeah, something like that.
Why is she trying to put Roxy to sleep? Or knock her out or whatever? I definitely think that the trolls are all like complete opposites of their counterparts. Because Vriska's counterpart just smiled and waved. This chick's attacking!
Granted, they're also in the void right now. Don't know why their paths crossed, but time and space are pretty much obsolete in the void, so it's acceptable. (It's kinda like a rule breaker, huh. Screw continuity, we're in the void!) But yeah, we don't know how far in the game this chick is and what would drive her to do this, so hey. Karkat hated the fuck out of the kids at first because of their effect on the trolls' session, and now he's pretty warmed up to them. Guess we'll see.
JESSICA
But she's smiling
Don't forget this is basically the Condesce XD
Anyway, she's smiling, so i don't think she is attacking out of hate, unless she's batshit insane.
Although, I'm going to call it right now. She's messing with Roxy. That's what I'm going to call. That is my bet.
KALYN
'Cept the Condesce is the Alpha version of her, with all the war-ness that Doc Scratch poured on Alternian culture. But yeah it does make some sense, 'cept how would you explain the likes of Mindfang? She was more like Vriska than it seems that Beta troll. IDK
I think she's messing with her too
JESSICA
lol, i know she won't have the exact same personality
hmmm
never mind . i was going to say something, but then I realized it was a little silly and mostly pointless
KALYN
oh?
JESSICA
yeah, it's nothing x.x
….
EMILY
so, i was gonna get some homestuck in before i left so i could get at least some of your SPOILERS
but, i guess i'm gonna do it now
SPOILERS!
so, this uu is probably UU's sister (seeing as how dirk says sister)
and they have kinda similar typing quirks
the capitalizations are just switched around
FUCK
or
that could be UU and dirk is talking about a different person as "sister"
and UU is the one that goes gamzee crazy for some reason and only contacts dirk
the 2nd one is my first thought, but this uu has a different sign
so...
those are my thoughts now you get to tell me how i'm wrong!
KALYN
I think it's two people, but the question is what session they each belong to. It's probably good that UU has a counterpart, since all the other players do as well, but we didn't see any UU during Hivebent. So do both of these trolls belong to the Beta troll session? Or is one or both of them in a separate session? Or did one of them participate in the Alpha troll session but in a less obvious way? (I don't think this one's possible, they would have to have entered the medium with a server player and all that.)
Here's a crazy idea. Humans "pester" and trolls "troll" but these guys "cheer" and "jeer". So are they a different species? Do you think these two are playing in their own session? They only talked about four universes, but they certainly could just be like outsiders looking in, much like readers of a book series or something who know the story and are heavily invested. These guys are like fans who want to interact with their favorite characters or something (since UU does draw fanart and write fanfiction). Just a thought.
KALYN
second UU seems more like an anti-fan though...
seems somewhat like Karkat with the whole "you fucked up big time...the amount of time you people"-what's that supposed to mean?-"waste, it's unbelievable to me" yaddayadda
first UU is based on the Homestuck fanbase. Second UU is based on the anti fanbase, people who hate Homestuck, because I notice UU2 is totally complaining about shit people who hate Homestuck are constantly complaining about. Fanbase included.
UU1 is on Prospit, UU2 on Derse...but no Derse we've seen...So I'm thinking either Beta troll session had 14 players, OR they're in their own session.
If it's the latter, there's the question of why they can communicate with the Alpha kids. Also, the pesterlogs were "ancient transcripts" so...is time actually playing a role here? or is it irrelevant again? what universe are they in?
I do like the Gamzee theory though, haha. Only thing is Gamzee kept his symbol, name, and typing color. It was the quirk that changed.
EMILY
Which is why I don't believe that theory as much.
JESSICA
Can I just throw this out there before I finish reading this mess of "Who is UU's counterpart" please? That is probably UU's brother, and he was the one she was talking about having issues and stuff. "Your sister was saying you were having some doubts playing," said Dirk. Guys, it's not that hard... He also reminds me of Karkat, getting so angry at the humans after watching/reading all about them and junk. You guys are getting confusing up there
JESSICA
Keep it simple stupid
I will say this, I wouldn't be surprised if UU has a split personality disorder
I don't think they are a different species, because UU had troll horns when we actually got to see her. Giant freaking troll horns, but troll horns none the less.
She also drew Dirk's god tier with fairy wings, something that the trolls have due to their basically being bugs anatomy (deal with the terrible sentence/grammar D:)
So, UndyingUmbrage has the same relationship with the kids as Karkat did only without the silly "going back in time to mess with you" tactic (which i think made Karkat begin to like them more, because, with John, he was expecting Kar to talk to him again)
The idea that UU and uu are based off the fan and anti-fan base makes sense though
but i don't know if that means they are necessarily from another timeline
There could have been 14 members, and then they had issues because of that, and in the troll alpha session they were cut out. they could have been more of a liability than an asset to either the game or to Doc Scratch/Lord English
Soooo, yeah
that's what i have to say about that, silly people overcomplicating things 9.9
EMILY
Pretty much what you just said were my two theories just in different words
JESSICA
ok, it was confusing up there and getting really complicated
KALYN
What do you mean it's not that hard? I don't think we were having an issue about who they were in relation to each other.
I don't think we were being overcomplicated either.
The evidence I think would be if the kids start talking to other trolls and instead of "trolling" the also "cheer" or "jeer" or whatever else there can be.
But I don't think it's necessary yet to rule out the idea that they're in their own session, since they're almost like on the outside looking into this whole "four universes come together" thing.
Even if they're also trolls.
But yeah my guess is beta trolls, and there were 14 members of the first one. Little weird though how we have a pair of twins (I'm going with that, since they're usually the same age) in this session and neither of them show up in the alpha trolls session.
JESSICA
I think what happened was I got on and was like "Hopy shit! Words D:"
KALYN
Now you know how Emily feels.
EMILY
YEAH
JESSICA
*cough*
EMILY
yes?
JESSICA
I would like to apologize for thinking that UU and uu having their own session was ridiculous
BAAAAAH
(imma sheep)
(a very angry sheep, but a sheep nonetheless)
there's not a whole lot that happened this time, but some interesting tidbits i guess?
sooo, sorta spoilers up there?
The first sentence I say probably could be
EMILY
i'm just all sorta confused with this update
not like ya'll could help confused
more like, how this is gonna go confused
so, there's only 2 players in this session UU and uu
and we've seen vriska counter part and fef counter part
what about the other trolls?
JESSICA
they're coming, I'm sure
EMILY
kinda wanna know what tav and gamzee counter part trolls are like
JESSICA
btw, on Yaldaboath .org/wiki/Demiurge
EMILY
but what about the 2 players?
JESSICA
page also has Timaeus
ooooh, good point! Rufio (or the animal tamer dude, whatever)! How will he be? Will he be super angry and tough?
EMILY
will he be raging bull?
JESSICA
lol, hopefully XD
from that wiki page: Now the archon (ruler) who is weak has three names. The first name is Yaltabaoth, the second is Saklas ("fool"), and the third is Samael. And he is impious in his arrogance which is in him. For he said, "I am God and there is no other God beside me," for he is ignorant of his strength, the place from which he had come
JESSICA
More: He is Demiurge and maker of man, but as a ray of light from above enters the body of man and gives him a soul, Yaldabaoth is filled with envy; he tries to limit man's knowledge by forbidding him the fruit of knowledge in paradise. The Demiurge, fearing lest Jesus, whom he had intended as his Messiah, should spread the knowledge of the Supreme God, had him crucified by the Romans. At the consummation of all things all light will return to the Pleroma. But Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge, with the material world, will be cast into the lower depths.
JESSICA
Even More:
In Pistis Sophia Yaldabaoth has already sunk from his high estate and resides in Chaos, where, with his forty-nine demons, he tortures wicked souls in boiling rivers of pitch, and with other punishments
This is interesting because of the whole "12" thing: one of the twelve angels to come "into being [to] rule over chaos and the [underworld]". He comes from heaven, his "face flashed with fire and whose appearance was defiled with blood". Nebro creates six angels in addition to the angel Saklas to be his assistants. These six in turn create another twelve angels "with each one receiving a portion in the heavens."
EMILY
ummmm
english please?
JESSICA
x.x
ok
let's see
EMILY
:)
JESSICA
this is Christian lore (gnostic=early christian stuff apparently, far as i can tell)
a demiurge=creator of the universe
but Yaldaboath created the /material/ world while God created the immaterial, apparently
Material=evil
Immaterial=good
JESSICA
it's a wee bit confusing, since he is a demiurge, but the definition they used was Plato's and I'm pretty sure the times don't line up
nevermind
Gnosticism presents a distinction between the highest, unknowable God and the demiurgic "creator" of the material. Several systems of Gnostic thought present the Demiurge as antagonistic to the will of the Supreme Being: his act of creation occurs in unconscious semblance of the divine model, and thus is fundamentally flawed, or else is formed with the malevolent intention of entrapping aspects of the divine in materiality. Thus, in such systems, the Demiurge acts as a solution to the problem of evil.
EMILY
...
JESSICA
he's sort of like the actual satan, from the looks of things
EMILY
think i might read that when it's not 1:30 and i can fully concentrate
JESSICA
satan was cast down, but Yaldaboath is the real guy who get's under God's skin
But "Yaldaboathists" just doesn't roll as well
i want to copy and paste the shit out of this article because it's really interesting, but i don't know what else actually applies
it's just so goddamn interesting!
…
MORGAN
to the whole demiurge thing, i read a bit of those links, and plato's timaeus thing, and i see a connection btw the evil material world/being and lord english, fo sho.
MORGAN
