I feel like you guys are talking about things that aren't up on the MSPA site yet ... do you have a hidden preview source?

Oh yeah I tried reading that but I didn't want to read it three times just to understand it. I wanted my Homestuck again! I would have skipped it but I thought maybe there was Homestuck stuff in there.

Then after I hit the present in Homestuck I went back and read the other adventures. But I don't think I'll read Intermission again.

Some random naming bits:
She's No Man --> 'sNoMan --> Sn0wman
Noir means "Black", and is a genre of film. Jack is the lowest-powered face card.
Getting a "boxcar" is gambling slang for rolling a 6, in the case of Hearts Boxcars.

Nevertheless, that was a twist! And pretty awesome to boot. Loved seeing the guardians kick ass against the denizens. Can't wait to see what happens when John visits the Trolls in the Veil, as has been alluded to.

But the trolls are (probably) in an entirely different veil. They have stated several times that they are in a separate version of the medium.

It still stands that, in the trolling, Johns Troll said that John had not just visited the Veil, he had visited their Veil. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he said that.

Also, what if the beasties being whupped on by the Guardians were the Denizens? John gets to the end finally, ready to fight, and his dad is reading a newspaper and wearing a hat, both made of the Denizens hide.

No, the troll said that he was in a different veil.

Anyway, the Black Queen is not Sn0wman.  When Sn0wman dies the world ends.  End of story (literally).  As far as I can tell, SS and Sn0wman are the trolls' world's variation of Jack Noir and The Black Queen.

Hmm... maybe the felt have something to do with their ability to communicate using a non-linear timeline?

OH YEAH.

Gies; remember how Spades Slick saw the Troll in the little Sburb screen thing?


Spades Slick is the Troll's universe version of Jack Noir!

Ergo, Sn0wman would be the Troll's universe version of the Black Queen, since we can be fairly sure that Windswept Questant is the White Queen in the kid's universe.



It all makes sense now; the Intermission took place in the aftermath of the Troll's universe; remember how the inhabitants of the various planets end up on 'earth' after the armageddon? Yeah.

Makes sense.

Also, Volume 4 is out for music people.  Costs $4.13.

That also (partially) explains why without jack that world was nothing but a wasteland. He somehow restored part of the ruined planet.

Has anyone else read the new updates? A nice (if lengthy) update summary.

Also, I watched the animation again, and Jack has a spade on his skin when he rips off the uniform. Andrew continues to screw with us.

I have no idea why Hussie is bothering with this useless exercise in the self-evident.

Well that cleared a few things up. Confirms what Neruz just said, for one, and it also explains what was going on with Rose in the last animation.
