IT WAS GLORIOUS, WORTH THE WAIT COMPLETELY.

I didn't realize what MSPA was and I thought it was some kind of attack on the website. LOL

Urban dictionary to the rescue. <_<

So many people missing out on something very amazing.

Lawl, my friend was talking about this on Facebook.

IT WAS GLORIOUS, WORTH THE WAIT COMPLETELY.

Also for Dave, was that a coif? It really didn't suit him.

> This is now a Homestuck discussion thread bitches.

Dave is just too cool for us to understand how cool it actually looks.

I loved his and Rose's eyes

And poor sollux ;o;

YESSSSSSS
DUDE

FREAKING FORESHADOWING AND pomegranate

HUSSIE SAID NOT ALL OF THEM WOULD GO GOD TIER AND THEY DIDNT

JADE WENT DOG TIER HAHAHAHA

That flash contained too much awesome. Also, a theory. Getting into the green sun gets you to god tier? OH MY. THROW A DREAM BUBBLE IN THERE. GET GODS.

That's brilliant.

They both had quest-beds there.

That's brilliant.

The interesting thing is that he's producing "god-hoodie" designs we haven't seen yet for the remaining trolls. He hasn't mentioned that they'll actually show up in the comic yet. Mysterious...

Hero of Mind, Hero of Heart. In case it's not obvious by now, we're going to put out all twelve god tier designs, two at a time, to complete the set. Preemptively canonical! Guaranteed. Will they show up in the comic? Will they show up on your body?? I will answer the former. You, the latter. Also note some designs are "reprinting", but you may still preorder them, if you do not mind waiting a little longer for them to be produced. Also note: now in girly tee sizes!

Those weren't beds. Those were like stone tablets hovering in space.

Well, i guess they aren't actually beds, but you got the point

I mean Aradia's 'quest bed' was a circle-shape. So was Vriska's

Dog tier is best tier.

I don't know why they would be different if they're all in the same universe.

And f'uck Doc Scratch man.

Dave's quest bed got significantly smaller. Also the concept behind the Dream Self thing comes under question with regards to Rose as she died already in her fight with Bec Noir. Jade was prototyped with her Jade Sprite. We can assume that Dave was prototyped with his "future self" or more appropriately, his "doomed time line alternative self" unless I'm mistaken in nothing that the sword transferred from DaveSprite to Dave. Am curious what justification they are going to use for Rose.

I actually don't think Dave got prototyped with davesprite, but we'll have to see.

God Tiers

First let’s look at what happened to Rose and Dave.

When Rose asks Scratch whether she will reach god tier, he responds,

You have exactly a fifty percent chance of ascending to the god tier.
TT: That’s a strange answer.
I know.
TT: Why such a precise probability?
Because, much like the decisions you must face to complete your dual suicide missions, you have two ways of achieving godhood to choose from.

Which was before Jack killed her, and John revived her with a kiss, leaving only her dream self. When she died, this eliminated one of the ways she could reach god tier, the only way we knew of explicitly at the time. This is by having a waking self and a dream self, both alive. When the waking self dies on the quest bed located somewhere on the planet, the player’s dream self takes over permanently, assumes god tier status, and wakes up on the battlefield, while the waking self’s corpse lies dead on the quest bed thereafter. This is how John reached god tier, and how Jade did as well. (Sort of.)

Dave and Rose only had one life left. They’d both been killed by Jack, and then revived as their dream selves. They only had the other means of reaching god tier, which we knew little about. We only had Aradia’s example to speculate from.

It turns out, the other way involves another set of quest beds in the core of the moons of Prospit and Derse. Reaching god tier involves using the only life you have left, and dying on that quest bed. Then, rather than waking up as a god tier on the Battlefield, the dead body simply resurrects automatically, transforming then and there. This is the basic outline of the process, with some caveats from examples we’ve observed.

Aradia was always a special case, since she was dead long before entering the session. She began the session as a ghost, and then a ghost inside a robot, which never actually counted as having a living waking self. She was never alive from the start, so she always only had the one ascension method available to her, by the death of her dream self, which had been sleeping on its quest bed all long. It was not in the core of the moon though. The moon only had five towers, because she was never a living player, and didn’t “belong” with the rest of the players on her team of Derse dreamers. So her dream self was sequestered away from the others, in the core of Derse. She reached god tier when Jack destroyed Derse.

We also can’t be sure that’s all there is to this method. Is it a simple matter of dying on the bed, or is more required? In the only two examples we have of this, Aradia and Dave+Rose, they die spectacularly in an explosion of green fire. Is that among the requirements? This is inconclusive.

Also, god tier Aradia, Dave, and Rose were all unharmed by the fire during the resurrection process. Dave and Rose’s case was so extreme, they actually emerged from the core of a sun. Does the transformation method itself protect them, until complete? Or is it just the simple matter that upon transforming, they are now immortal, and dying in the very explosion leading to their ascension would count as neither just nor heroic? You may speculate.

After examining all that, Jade’s ascension is simple in comparison. Her dream self died, but she brought it back to life by prototyping the stuffed corpse in her grandpa’s lab, making Jadesprite. So, she did in fact have a living dream self, so option #1 was available. This had the side effect of turbo charging her god tier state. She not only has the Witch of Space powers and immortality, she merged with the sprite, which was imbued with Bec’s powers. She now has the abilities of a god tier player, a sprite, and a first guardian all in one.

Ironically, the green sun which they were seeking to destroy, now powers two of the heroes opposing Jack: Jade and PM.

I doubt that Dave became Davesprite. When a person becomes god tier, they take over as their dream self. If this were the case with Davesprite, Dave would have been on the Battlefield instead of with Rose. I feel like I might be missing something in your post though. I can't read today.

This is true.
