AJ - 22 - he/him - asleep at all hours of the day

Nah fuck it, I'm not starting a media thread on that one really boring virus analog horror, we're starting it the real man's way

@thegrayfruit @taquitosamson @funnygamedev "Possibly" trying to move heaven and earth in this tweet

@GoldSebi It's either that Serums correspond to fallen wings' singularities or that they "represent" existing wings, while not directly using their singularities, just sort of... their superficial, outward elements? While Arbiters utilize the actual singularity abilities more directly.

@GoldSebi Since we know that the old R Corp seems to be related to the charge technology from Reindeer Ish of all places, I'm willing to bet that's the connection there. Serum K still being healing kinda throws a wrench in the whole thing, but I guess it could relate to pre-alfonse K Corp?

@kinnieslop This image is sourced from the _official_ homestuck discord in public channels. Also, the ice here is given as context of being a direct reply.

@kinnieslop If you make a joke about ICE shooting someone i think it's reasonable to say they're not exactly winning brownie points boss

@kinnieslop I replied to the wrong tweet at first. You are correct in that it wasn't Hussie specifically, however:

@katzoses The only resemblance with Night Drifter or his kit is the word "drift". Everything else is purely Daiyu.

[WE HAD HIM IN OUR MIDST @ajfriss]

@katzoses @daviedaviddav @BruhGeneral The Ryoshu ID is Lin Daiyu, it's just thematically similar to the night drifter in that she became a drifting fighter when someone close to her (that world's Hong Lu) died.

Like how Lord Hong Lu has some thematic ties to Kong Qiu, but the ID is actually something different.

@them_failure They've been purple the whole time! He's actually one of the harder ones to notice, besides Meursault's being green I think.

[WE HAD HIM IN OUR MIDST @ajfriss]

@anchkiko @them_failure I don't think Saru was the Magnum Opus he was crafting for Ryoshu either. The Magnum Opus was in the works for 10-ish years, while Saru was made on a pretty quick turnaround after she died. Furthermore, Saru was broken in Ryoshu's own hands, while she used Arayashiki on the other

@YayaLoL__ This, however, does not seem to be what happened to Iori, seeing as how she's been looking for *40 years*, well before the invention of even the earliest forms of Mirror technology. Something fucked up happened to her son and he's now the deadest guy around

[WE HAD HIM IN OUR MIDST @ajfriss]

@YayaLoL__ There's a lot of things that don't add up about Iori. Her age, for one - Argalia the 40 year old man reminds her of her *adult* son who's been dead for 40 years... Iori is listed as 52. Furthermore, he's dead in every mirror world *without* the mirror wishes like Limbus IDs.

[WE HAD HIM IN OUR MIDST @ajfriss]

@YayaLoL__ Elaboration on that last point: In Limbus, we see that the Mirror can be "wished" upon to force certain realities to happen in such a way that would otherwise be at minimum extremely improbable the extent being somewhat unclear but Demian suggests it's incredibly destructive -

@rrdjkg i don't feel weird for trying to powerscale these characters since powerscaling them is canonical

[WE HAD HIM IN OUR MIDST @ajfriss]

@rrdjkg Iori's definitely gotta be higher than Argalia, closer to Verg level or even just in a firm ???, she did fold him on-camera and it wasn't particularly close. The extent to which she's holding back in her usual appearances is unclear, but it's certainly a fair bit.

[WE HAD HIM IN OUR MIDST @ajfriss]

@waterconnoisseu @UnseveringMay It has the same blue double arrows, so I'm inclined to think this is just the way it's reflecting light off of a metallic blue surface of the edge.

In addition, the edge of Arayashiki is not metallic, it's actually a glassy, transparent surface.

@Scriblyn like, their masks were designed to represent different general types of bugs that lived in hallownest. Either symbolically or just as a lark. It's just what I always imagined, though, i don't have any particular basis other than their appearance.

[WE HAD HIM IN OUR MIDST @ajfriss]

@Scriblyn I always imagined they were meant to be based on the different bugs of hallownest, given how similar most of them seem to be to specific faces.
