Do you think the dream selves are created at the persons's birth?

They must be retroactively created by Sburb.

I'm confused.

I guess you have not been following this long enough or just don't understand because THE WHOLE THING IS LIKE THIS!

John did the ectobiology dance and sent all of the babies of every major Earth character back in time, one of which would grow up and become John who would...

Dave sent Terezi all those boondollars because that's how she found out about the human kids, so at a certain point she got him to send her that amount of boondollars so that she would have discovered the kids which lead to....

Dave eventually became the Dave that would look around the corner and give his other temporal self a thumbs up so that he would become the one that looks around the corner and...

...and so on. It's implied that you're not supposed to think about any of this too hard.

EDIT: bahaha

I don't think you read my post.

Yes, that explains why THE KIDS exist, but why do their dream selves exist?
It is the same universe! That means that there is a physical copy of them out in space somewhere,
 not in a dream or something.

Also, this web comic was meant to be questioned and scrutinized. That is why there are so many details.
Hussie would have us believe that there are no major plot holes of any kind.
And for the most part that would be the case.


Lordnincompoop's answer was dead on though, except that sort of stretches the use of the word "now".

EDIT:

It is also implied that their dream-selves have been around for most of their childhood.
Since Jade was apparently getting her secret info from her dreams.

EDIT:

Also, I've been posting on this thread since reply 2947 out of 16607.
You must not have been reading this thread for very long.

EDIT:

Sorry for overreact. I'm tired.

Yeah, I had completely misread what you said. I thought you meant that Sburb creates the dream selves which are required to activate to continue playing Sburb so that the player's dream selves can be created when they're younger and so on.

I believe that Hussie at one point on his Formspring did state that he attempts to fill in all the holes in the plot and that's about when people started assuming he was doing this by retconning. Either way, Homestuck is definitely something to be scrutinized but stable time loops can be confusing to think about for too long.

Okay, well sorry for that bit of an overreaction.

I was just unfamiliar with your name, and you seemed a bit hostile.

My bad.

I'm pretty sure that dream jade is just jade plus some explosions and time spent in limbo.

Nah, you would need to find which holes dreamjadebecsprite cardpunch has that becsprite doesn't. However, dreamjade might have some of the same holes as becsprite, and there would be a number of combinations.

So, the Dream Jade that Jade just prototyped has been in some kind of reasonably happy dream self afterlife ever since Grandpa Harley stuffed her several subjective years ago, and she's getting some serious sensory overload from the First Guardian omniscience, and not being able to not see the Green Sun? Ouch.

Also, I am somewhat shocked and surprised by the existence of a dream self afterlife.

It might not even be just dreamself afterlives.

I'm assuming that all the friends she's talking about are the Prospitians that died with Jack Noir's sundering of the place.

Although this is an assumption and could be wrong.
