So.... for lack of some kind of hybrid Kronenberg-critter Johnsprite... I'm going to re-iterate one of my theories that John is somehow his own dad and Jane's dad.

For the silly part, we'll say it involves that unprototyped kernel on Jape's planet and some bizarre fuckery that will confirm a heterosexual relationship somehow and send the entire fandom into a complete existential meltdown.

EDIT: I forgot to make a pun about Serk-de-soleil battledancing from that icon image, also reference to some Leprechaun romance charm.

But if John is Dad then John is John's dad. But biologically. Also it makes him kind of his own grandson by parental roles which is weird.

[Darkmere]

There was only ectobiology involved in John's birth. Spawning. Whatever.

And yeah, like there's nothing else weird in this comic.

Regardless, it's just a hunch dealing with the fractured panel at John's location on the homestuck soul jar and the fact that something's obviously different about Dad Egbert and Dad Crocker.

As long as we're entertaining bullshit gap-filling theories...

We know John (and Jade) are both the biological product of Jane and Jake's genes.

We know Jane 'Grandma' Crocker talked about finding a man who made her very happy, the mysterious Mister Egbert, and thus begat Dad Egbert, John's biological half-brother.

I hypothesize John 'Poppop' Crocker was enamored with the twin sister Miss Egbert, and thus begat Dad Crocker (Jane's... biological grandson).  Having virtually identical genes and parallel upbringings, the two Dad's are distinct but still very similar people.

It makes as much sense as any other presentation of heredity in this comic.

Yes. But Dad is Poppop's or Nanna's son, depending on which universe you're in.

Oh gawd.

I had a horrible thought.


Circumvent lack of knowledge of the game in the newly created universe, by prototyping the unprototyped sprite with the genesis frog.

The resulting genesis frog sprite would have full knowledge of the game, and by extension, the lifeforms created inside that universe would find that information as a natural law, and thus should be MUCH better prepared.

Also, the universe would be sentient. Instruct Universe-Frog-Sprite that its inhabitants must be fully made aware of the game's rules and the inevitable destruction of their world(s), and to proactively produce countermeasures.

That's an outcome I dont think that Lord English would anticipate.

[frostshotgg]

Ignoring all of the unreasonable assumptions you just made, game knowledge isn't a super pressing issue. The other sessions seem to have had no trouble figuring out what to do.

[Darkmere]

The trolls had Rose's guide. The cherubs had Rose and Kanaya's guide. The B2 kids were driven by the Condesce and LE, who knew how to manipulate them into doing what was necessary.

 The B1 kids had NO guide, and they fucked everything up so bad that Bec Noir happened. Seems like some guidance is pretty vital...

[Sergarr]

Prototyping a genesis frog would most likely result in SBURB either crashing down or throwing one hell of an exception.

[Bauglir]

Or it might just make a sprite that is also a universe.

[Sergarr]

Or it might just make a sprite that is also a universe.

But genesis frog isn't simply ONE universe. It's a whole shitload of them, remember? Both Beta and Alpha universes were in the SAME genesis frog!

[Bauglir]

Same universe, different timelines. I see no trouble.

[Sergarr]

Well, if you don't see trouble in putting something like universe with all its time-lines and all its inhabitants through something as weird as spritification, then I guess we think different.
