* When the Wayward Vagabond drew the planets of his session on the wall of the capsule, he was ''[[LiteralMetaphor literally]]'' [[PaintingTheMedium Painting The]] [[IncrediblyLamePun Medium]]!

** He could always beat them. A [[IncrediblyLamePun Blackjack]] beats every other hand.

** And that the hero of Doom would both hate and pity/love the hero of Rage. He sees Rage as sensible, but hates that it's the sensible thing to do.
* Aradia's SGRUB title is Maid of Time. [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/3482 Here,]] she states she is [[IncrediblyLamePun made of time.]] Ha ha.

* At one point, Dave finds a disturbing comic on his Bro's computer, where Rolf somehow kills Animal. What makes it especially disturbing is that they're ''[[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies]]''. So, why use their Muppet baby selves and not their regular Muppet selves? Well, anyone who watched that cartoon growing up might remember the theme song, specifically these lines:

* Davepeta is a combination of a Rogue of Heart and a Knight of Time. The Heart Aspect gives the ability to connect with people, and also relates the soul to a heart motif. The Time Aspect allows you to reverse time to fix your mistakes with knowledge from doomed timelines, including reversing death. Knights also weaponize their aspect to benefit themselves. And with that, the {{Undertale}} shout out makes perfect sense.
** Additionally, remember what happens if you complete a Genocide run in Undertale? You have to face an incredibly difficult boss, and even if you win you [[spoiler:render any future non-Genocide runs completely unwinnable.]] Guess what Caliborn did.

*** FridgeHorror: Radiation causes cancer. Or in this case, [[ILoveNuclearPower gives it god-like powers]].

* Lord English and all his affiliates are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green green]], according to Wiki/ThatOtherWiki a number of artists and poets associate that color with TheDevil.

* Remember that update on Andrew's Formspring where [[http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40585720/Combined_Formspring_Web_Aug-28-2011.htm#mspadventures197489823865410924 he tried CS5 before returning to CS3?]] Know how he mentions having "a ton of pertinent files open all the time so I don't have to spend as much time rooting around for stuff?" [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/3815 These]] [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/3816 spoiler-ish]] [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/3817 updates]] may be a Meta example of one way the story unfolds-[[YouShouldKnowThisAlready mining past images]] for use later in present updates, with these updates a CallBack of a past TearJerker concerning Karkat and Terezi.]]

* The song used in [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006386 this animation]], [[{{AwesomeMusic/Homestuck}} apart from being awesome]], actually has in-story significance: as [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006678 a recent update]] reveals, the pre-Scratch versions of the troll Ancestors have managed to avoid [[RetGone fading away along with their doomed timeline]], lingering on to become key figures in the Alpha Session [[TitleDrop Even In Death.]]

*** It also makes sense, because the Medicant is a pawn at the time, which means that she can't do anything to those that are behind her, so the droll when pickpocketing her will succeed no matter what because that's how chess is played.

* A {{Tearjerker}} sort of FridgeBrilliance is [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002602 this page]]. Learn WV's origins and come back. Yeah. Pretty much everything he does is much HarsherInHindsight.
** More precisely, [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002608 this page]] has its own [[ColonyDrop depressing significance]].

* Way back in the beginning, AR's hatred of [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003002 illegal pictography]] and [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003008 illicit amphibian idolatry]] seem to be just because of his personality - but he's a Dersite, so of course he hates any mention of frogs!

* Jake just accidentally killed a fairybull. He feels just awful. [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004952 Does this]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004953 remind you]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004954 of anything]][[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004955 ???]]

* A long way back Dave had [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004727 this]] conversation with Equius, implying that Bro's training had made him too powerful to properly wield a normal sword, causing them to break under the stress. Now, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006418 what is the only weapon Dirk/Bro has ever used?]]

* Terezi [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003424 specifically states]] that it is the job of the Exiles to repopulate the player's planets after the Reckoning. This appears to have happened successfully on Alternia, with Spades Slick and the Midnight Crew having "made this town what it is" despite it being "nothin' but a bunch of dust and rocks" beforehand. On Earth, however, three of its five Exiles have been brutally murdered and the survivors are off-planet seeking revenge (or building more towns out of tinned food products). This means that, failing a biologically viable group of sentient beings landing on Earth, either through accident or design, ''our home planet will never be repopulated.'' Goddamnit, Hussie.

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006716 Andrew's death scene]] seemingly exists only for only one purpose: to bring closure to a Formspring RunningGag about him marrying Vriska, which subscribers to the [[DeathOfTheAuthor DOTA philosophy]] will likely ''never bother to find out about.''

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005981 This update]] is a CallBack to [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004048 that update.]] Following that snap, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004049 Sollux falls asleep.]] Now, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005981 this]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sbahj.php?s=6&p=005982 update]] uploaded about 2 to 3 in the morning, could signify [[NowILayMeDownToSleep time for the Homestuck audience to go to sleep due to being up too late,]] or attempt an ArchiveBinge [[FridgeHorror in the new Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff CSS]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sbahj.php?viewlog=6 from the beginning.]]
* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005770 This page]] shows four of the kiss-ressurections in the comic so far. The titles match. On one hand, we have the ''Seer'' of Mind kissing the Page of ''Breath'', while the Heir of ''Breath'' kisses the ''Seer'' of Light. On the other, we have the ''Knight'' of Blood kissing the Sylph of ''Space'', while the Witch of ''Space'' kisses the ''Knight'' of Time.

* Doc Scratch [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005527 says]], "I am an immortal entity with a large cue ball for a head, and no biological means of reproduction." That means Cal isn't anatomically correct.

*** If you remember from [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/cascade.php?s=6&p=6009 [S] Cascade]] (assuming you've seen it), Slick killed all the other members of the Felt, and then Snowman.

*** Likely why Lord English was able to die; as Slick had sort of joined Scratch's side when he killed snowman. Their team pocketed the eight ball prematurely,losing them the game.
* The lack of updates for a few days now since [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005702 5/27]] might actually be brilliant. Currently, the audience is witnessing two story perspectives-the main screen where updates are usually posted, and the web site banner on top with Homestuck's narrator-for-now Doc Scratch getting ready for his guest Spades Slick. The last posted update has the guest, with his weapon, bonking the PhysicalGod narrator over his head. Now, how is this action relative to lack of updates? Remember the second half of Act 2 when the audience is introduced to WV, who seemed very hungry and had not eaten for a long time yet had enough energy to wander the Desert Wasteland in search of food and wind up in that chamber? As WV and SS are of the same species, it's possible for Slick to do nothing but bonk Doc's head for a couple of days without rest or food in a feeble attempt to crack his skull. AND Doc might not mind letting Slick do this for two reasons: One-He's a PhysicalGod; days could pass like minutes to him, and Two-Doc's a SmugSuper, he could be ALLOWING Slick to hammer him nonstop with his horsehead club for [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005519 a couple days,]] just to make [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005520 this result]] [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005521 more humiliating]] to Spades Slick. In other words, SS is holding up the narrator Doc Scratch from narration!

* UU and uu have specific shackles that only they can unlock and Calliope wears her brother's on her left leg, meaning uu wears his on his right. Remember how Lord English doesn't have a [[LifeOrLimbDecision right leg]]? Also each has a color spiral above where the chain connects with the wall and Calli has a Lime green spiral while her brother's is "Candy" red since [[WordOfGod he is based on Jigsaw]]. The spiral seems to match the swirls on a cherub's face which may be implying the [[BizarreAlienBiology cherubs]] can change blood color. Lord English has been shown to have red blood and matching cheeks. As an added bonus watch the intermission that showed Lord English and read the opening code considering uu's symbol consists of "U" and "~".

** It gets better. Remember how Dirk said that he doubted he'd be destroying any souls unless he became a "cartoonishly evil sorceror"? Soon afterwards, Lord English arrives to destroy a bunch of souls in the dream bubbles. Remember what was in his hand?

** Why is ''Diamonds'' Droog always trying to convice Jack NOT to kill everything? He represents "Moirallegiance".

* Most likely, when you saw [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005449 this page]] you thought to yourself, "Wow, what an out of character thing for an omnicidal maniac to do." But, when he put on the ring, he prototyped himself with all the first tier sprites, specifically John's Harlequin. So, he did it because he's part clown.
** "Wow, what an out of character thing for an omnicidal maniac to do." It had [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003065 already]][[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003203 been established]] that Jack is a bit of a CloudCuckoolander.

** Except that we know that [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005201 she's still alive when the Rift happens]].

*** Well, from [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004637 this page]] we know that Rose is still alive at some point in the future, and from what Dave says it sounds like it's pretty close to the full 24 hours. But we don't know exactly how the timeline aligns.

* When confronted by a prototyped PM following Cascade, Jack immediately falls in love. Although he has been shown to respect her, this is never even hinted at before now. What changed? Why, [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003179 her species.]]
* Spades Slick's obsession with [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005523 scottie dogs]] is HilariousInHindsight considering his counterpart Jack Noir's final form once Bec is prototyped.
* According to Hussie, the Midnight Crew Intermission was supposed to allow the readers insight into the mind of the comic's main villain, initially revealed to be the Beta Session's Jack Noir. With Lord English being played up as the True Final Boss and a more major villain overall in Act 6, the above statement began to seem like a red herring... and then [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/ACT6ACT5ACT1x2COMBO.php?s=6&p=007721 THIS]] happened. If that update means Lord English is actually : Jack Noir possessed by Caliborn's soul, rather than an older Caliborn himself, Jack Noir may end up being the main villain of the story two times over, and Hussie's statement is still truth. Even if not, hey, Jack's still gonna be a major player from the looks of it, so that's probably gonna be good enough.

* Eveyone's IM handle is initialed with an A, C, G or T - like in DNA.

* How does one get rid of glitches in a game cartridge? [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=008258 By blowing on it.]]

* Remember that update on Andrew's Formspring where [[http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40585720/Combined_Formspring_Web_Aug-28-2011.htm#mspadventures197489823865410924 he tried CS5 before returning to CS3?]] Know how he mentions having "a ton of pertinent files open all the time so I don't have to spend as much time rooting around for stuff?"

** Finally, Andrew may have commented on [[http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40585720/Combined_Formspring_Web_Aug-28-2011.htm#mspadventures192553069316180507 his real life delay for a few days]] [[http://mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005688 here,]] affecting the suddenly succintly slow pace of the story.

** The bonus song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6e2XacZSIs Black Hole/Green Sun,]] refers to the Tumor's detonation as a black hole and supernova into the Green Sun. However, at the end of [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/cascade.php?s=6&p=6009 [S] Cascade,]] when the song ends, Jade, John, the planets, and her cruiser plow through the Fourth Wall, leaving a black hole behind as their point of entry and escape.

* Close to Valentine's Day 2011, we have [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005400 two characters]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005401 on]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005402 a]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005403 date]], AND [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005407 a steamy fanfic]] from one of the troll's ancestors. [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown OMFG, COINCIDENCE.]]

*** And then come the beginning of 2012, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006312 it]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006313 happened]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006314 again.]]

* In [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004467 this]] update, Kanaya says that she thinks the roles are intentionally given to the ones who don't suit them best, in order to challenge them. If you think about it, this applies to the kids: Rose is the one with an interest in dark magic, while Jade is the one who had visions of the future, but Rose is the Seer and Jade is the witch.

* Aradia's SGRUB title is Maid of Time. [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005382 Here,]] she states she is [[IncrediblyLamePun made of time.]] Ha ha.

* The planet of each player seems reveal what elemental atribute each player has (or maybe it's the other way around)

* At the beginning of Act 1, [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001901 John lacks a pair of arms,]] and you, the player, [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001905 command him to retrieve arms from his chest.]] Out of sympathy for his lack of arms, [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001906 you move the cake off his magic chest using your mouse, signified with the hand icon moving the cake.]] However, [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001907 retrieving his arms reveal John holding his FAKE arms with his REAL arms.]] Now, say as a player, you never played this game called Webcomic/{{HomeStuck}}, and never issued commands to retrieve his arms. [[FridgeHorror Would he be forever armless without your command?]] No, he always possessed arms; it's the character design that makes John look armless. The FridgeBrilliance arrives though when you realize the hand icon that represents the mouse could also represent his pair of hands moving the cake onto the bed. Compare that to the FridgeHorror of being John and witnessing a cake fly off your chest after hearing voices recently command you to retrieve your arms...shudder.

* Doc Scratch seeks death after summoning Lord English and ending the universe, but he needs help. Why? Because, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005512 as his creation shows,]] he's an omniscient, omnipotent prankster. Comedy is easy. ''Dying is hard.''

* Doc Scratch says [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005520 here]] that he is a soldier in a war of one bullet fired. Which bullet? The bullet fired by Spades Slick at Snowman that kills her and destroys the Troll's universe, summoning Lord English.
* Here's a thought... the Green Sun was formed when the Troll's Universe was destroyed, thus everything inside it would be obliterated and non-existant. But then where are Doc Scratch, his clock, and part of his building surviving that the Doc's body could become Lord English? Simple. A POCKET Universe. The cueball-headed Doc was Scratched.

* The reason why Rose's Grimdark aura resembles the Horrorterror's tentacles? It's because said eldritch monstrosities are literally puppeteering Rose. That's not her aura, they're tentacles.

* [[http://img.ifcdn.com/images/7ceb040c06df400e757ebd403eb78305dcbd00b8621964cb01f488adbe2b5bd2_1.jpg This explanation of Act 7]]. Dear God.
** Also, note that the juju is not actually white, it is transparent: a plothole.

[[folder:Cherubs]]
* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/scraps/DIRKTHISISuS.gif uu's gift]] to [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006975 Dirk]] becomes NauseaFuel HiddenInPlainSight after remembering troll reproduction. At first, it's a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}, showing how bad an artist uu is. But, imagine the squiggly lines as the outlines of puddles or liquids, [[BrainBleach color-coded to represent the genetic materials of the involved participants.]] In uu's mind, Jane and Roxy are "enjoying each other's company," and Dirk and uu are "getting friendly," by [[DontExplainTheJoke mixing each other's...fluids inside a bucket.]] ButWaitTheresMore ...how many people saw the squiggles, and thought troll reproduction instead of bad artistry? If you saw the former, then good for you getting an InJoke based on a subtle ShoutOut. If you saw the latter, however, and just realized the Squick HiddenInPlainSight...[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments here's to forgetting what you want to forget.]]
* uu finds normal nonsexual romantic things to be despicably attractive. When UU explains cherub reproduction, we learn that it is normally violent and confrontational. So, for a cherub, the kind of things uu likes would actually be despicable and scandalous.
** Except there's absolutely nothing indicating this, uu isn't a troll, and he considers hand-holding to be risque so he likely wouldn't even DREAM of that? His later drawing to Calliope shows that he really is ''just that bad'' at drawing figures.
** It is more likely a display of cherub reproduction- the figures look like snakes.
* uu says that when Calliope dies, he will paint everything with her blood. Now remember the Felt Mansion.
** It gets worse he mentions he will write his words with her blood. Remember who else is known to write in lime green (or "felt") text? Lord English.
*** Even worse after meeting the doomed version of Calliope who never got to know the Alpha kids and somehow mustered up the courage to kill Caliborn before starting the game, just as he did to her: she types in his blood colour as well.
* Take a good look at Caliborn's Cruxtruder when he enters. The time shows his symbol in two parts: ~U. It resembles ~ATH code. His timer is saying Caliborn will enter his session at the end of the universe...just like how Lord English enters at the end of a universe.
** Caliborn's sign represents a man holding a snake, so it could also mean that the snake (Caliborn) has escaped its handler (Calliope).
* Why did Hussie hide the [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/ACT6ACT6.php?s=6&p=008168 cartridge]] in the Caps Lock capsule? Because Caliborn would never turn the caps lock off, at least not intentionally!
** Except Caliborn ''isn't using'' Caps Lock; he's holding down the shift key, because Caps Lock is [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007380 "A TRAINING KEY FOR RETARDS"]]. It works anyway, because it never occurs to him to turn it '''on'''.
* The most recent updates described Caliborn's mission in his game session: he has to conquer fifteen planets, one after another, by knocking them into a black hole. It may be obvious to most people, but take a look at the planets and think about it. What is he, albeit on a cosmic scale, actually doing? He's playing pool.
* With the revelation that the server that summons Lord English is in fact the clock that controls his immortality, his summoning ritual finally makes sense. The honk HONK code infused Doc Scratch with a portion of Caliborn's DNA so when Scratch died it caused Caliborn's immortality clause to kick in and revived him where the DNA was!
* After his summoning, Lord English locks himself in a sarcophagus. He wears a Cairo Overcoat. A Chicago Overcoat is slang for a coffin. So a Cairo Overcoat would actually be an ''Egyptian coffin.''
** If you look closely, the sarcophagus ''is'' his Cairo Overcoat. It's a reference to the innocuous doubles of ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth''.
** Not just that, it's a reference to [[Webcomic/ProblemSleuth Mobster Kingpin]]'s (imaginary) vessel, the Chicago Overcoat. He eventually becomes Demonhead Mobster Kingpin. And what is Lord English? A demon.
* Considering the comic's theather-esque style (with acts, intermissions, etc.), it's quite fitting that Lord English ''breaks a leg'' shortly before his debut.
* Caliborn states to Jake that his title is the Lord. If it wasn't already obvious, this appears to be more {{Foreshadowing}} to him becoming [[BigBad Lord English]].
** Contrasting the Lord, the Muse is the most passive class possible. What's more passive than spending the entire duration of the game dead/dormant?
* So, Caliborn's whole Saw pornography game was pretty ridiculous at the time, right? But consider this: according to the green man himself, all relationships among his people are "dictated by the miracle of hatred." In other words, Cherubs ONLY have Black Romance. Possibly as a foil to us humans only having Red. Red romance runs counter to everything he knows about what's natural and right. So, when he contacted a human and asked for Red pornography... yeah, that was culture shock. And completely natural from his standpoint.
* Caliborn is described as having undergone a negative instance of CharacterDevelopment, since by killing his sister be cheated himself out of properly maturing for his species. He grew up into what is essentially a PsychopathicManChild whose actions have also ruined the course of the game, itself a metaphor for ones own character arc. The point of a normal session is basically to mature in a positive direction so one can create a new Universe and finish playing. Cal completely broke this, he became an emotionally immature gamer who forces everyone to comply with his playstyle, ruining their experiences with the game. An interpretation of the ending is that he's now stuck in a time loop where he does this forever while everyone else actually completes the game and gets to move in with their lives. Lord English and Cal can be interpreted as a BasementDweller StopHavingFunGuy.
* In Lord English's [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005981 infamous]] AltText, his initials are the only letters that are solid black instead of flashing in several colors. Considering LE enters the trolls' universe right after Snowman is killed (and all the other Felt members have already been offed), it makes sense..
* You could say English was [=*=]GlassesPull[=*=] [[IncrediblyLamePun made from Scratch]]. [[MemeticMutation YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!]] And then there's that possibility of him having a connection to Betty Crocker...
** On that note, in pool, English means to put a spin on the cue ball. "Putting a spin on" means "give a new interpretation or meaning to".
** So if Doc Scratch was [[BodySnatcher hosting]] Lord English, you could say he was already here?
* tICK t0ck 8R8K [=H34DS=] honk HONK: It made no sense originally... however, it turns out to be foreshadowing Lord English's arrival.
** The honk HONK voiced by Lord English and included in his code has spawned numerous [[EpilepticTrees Epileptic Trees]] about Gamzee being Lord English or being related to him. HOWEVER, if you think about it, the whole thread of the "honk HONK" theme can be traced back to Lord English. Doc Scratch is an agent of Lord English, and was ''responsible for guiding the development of troll society in this iteration of their universe.'' In now-familiar circular paradox space fashion, it could easily have been Doc Scratch who planted the seed of honk HONK in the first place, after which it grew into the rule of Subjugglators on Alternia, which led to Gamzee's madness, which led to his scrawling of the honk HONK code, [[FridgeHorror which led to...]]
*** It seems it wasn't as much of epileptic trees to be related when he's later seen to father Caliborn and Calliope.
*** Cali is not a paradox clone, so Aranea wasn't just talking about Cherubs in general not being meant to play, but to Cali as an individual (or two individuals after a few minutes) as well. This would also explain why his birth was orchestrated with the Scratch, by creating a universe where a location was found and Cali's birth would not fail due to a lack of planets. [[ConvenientlyClosePlanet It's not exactly easy to find one.]]
* Lord English is finally revealed in Intermission 2. So guess who shows up when Act 6 Intermission 2 rolls around?
* Recently we've learned that Caliborn, Arquius, and half of Gamzee had their souls trapped in Lil Cal. This explains many, many things.
** It explains how LE is so STRONG.
** It explains the spontaneous honking.
** It explains why Lord English possessed Doc Scratch's body.
** Lil Cal holds the soul of Arquius. a mixture of Equius and Dirk's Auto-Responder. Doc Scratch was made from Lil Cal via ecto-biology shenanigans. This explains why Doc wanted a Megido as a henchman and makes the fact that he is insanely abusive to her all the more creepy.
** And the "Mental Breakdown" flash makes it clear that [[PhraseCatcher Lord English was already there]]. ''[[ParanoiaFuel For the whole time]]''.
* How one can destroy Lord English? By exploiting bugs and glitches in the paradox space, which basically is the entire game. What has Caliborn done recently? He stuffed a bunch of candy corns in the cartrige. What happened then? The game started glitching severely. Caliborn is Lord English. He is basically ''killing himself just to show his superiority in spite of the narrator''.
* Remember when Caliborn was said to represent the people who hate Homestuck? Now, combine that with the possibility that he's Lord English. Lord English murdered Hussie and is now destroying dream bubbles. He is essentially striving to destroy everything in the Homestuck universe. Think about that for a moment.
** Jossed. The third intermission of Act 6 reveals that he's hunting down Calliope's dead dream self, who is one of the few people capable of taking him down.
*** However, Caliborn is killing many of the trolls because Calliope would not stop talking about the trolls. This is like how many people will hate Homestuck and Homestuck fans because they talk about Homestuck so much.
* Remember Caliborn's FreudianSlip about the girl on the "How to draw manga" book and his sister? It sounds vaguely incest-like, but of course he would liken her to Calliope: cherubs look for other cherubs who remind them of their lost siblings when they mate!
* Kind of a sillier one, but Doc Scratch is a puppet, right? And he explodes when Lord English is born from him? That can only mean one thing: LORD ENGLISH IS A FIDUSPAWN.
* UU speaks using British slang. British, which is often used synonymously with "English." Perhaps this was her way of hinting the connections we now know exist... Or maybe it was just brilliant foreshadowing that most readers missed.
* UU reveals her name to be Calliope, a Greek muse. Foreshadows her title of Muse of Space!
** Another Greek muse is named Urania. Probably doesn't mean anything, but interesting to note.
** Interestingly enough, Urania is the Muse of Astronomy.
* Also concerning the muse Calliope, her role was the muse of epic poetry. Calliope writes fanfiction! Plus, each Greek muse had an emblem. Calliope's was a writing tablet. What's one of UU's most treasured items? Her drawing tablet.
** Homestuck is quite the epic.
* Regarding the types of fanfiction she writes she seems rather embarrassed about some of her work which in other circustances like she has written some self-insert [[RuleThirtyFour "Lemon"]] Fics. Considering how her brother, and her species in general, view romance she might be refering to the more "softcore" type stories otherwise known as [[IncrediblyLamePun Limes]].
* When Calliope plays chess with uu, the pieces keep disappearing and she accuses him of eating them. Considering they share a body, not only was Calliope losing pieces of her chess set, but she was also ending up with little pointy chess pieces in her stomach!
* When you think about it, cherubs are really, *really*, extinct. Calliope/Calliborn/LE are/is the same person.
** Actually, no one said there aren't any Cherubs in other galaxies.
* Possibly a ShoutOut but the cherub players are heroes of time and space, have a 11 based tic, and wear bowties. Now look back at the source of the "Bowties are cool" meme and remember he was the [[ArcNumber 11th regeneration]] [[Series/DoctorWho of a well known time traveling hero from outer space.]]
** Not to mention that in [S] Act 6 Intermission 3, Caliborn was confirmed to be a Lord of Time.
* Karkat's text color is the average of Calliope's and Caliborn's. Calliope is similar to Karkat's caring side, while Caliborn is similar to Karkat's angry and annoyed side that he usually shows. Caliborn has the same blood color as Karkat, whereas Calliope has the blood color that he ''would'' have if he wasn't a mutant. This all seems like FauxSymbolism, right?. Well, Cancer is the '''4'''th Zodiac sign and Ophiuchus is the '''13'''th Zodiac sign in some systems. ArcNumber much?
* It's mentioned that cherubs were never supposed to play Sburb. Turns out there's a very logical reason for that. Cherubs will never have another of their own kind to play with, and playing Sburb solo breaks the game on multiple fundamental levels.
* Calliope's role, as stated in a Reddit comment[[https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/0*1GLUXaPKLqPD3KL3.png]]:
--> ''Simple she died and by dying she appeared out in the furthest ring, baiting Lord English into action or rather inspiring him to hunt her down if you will. Lord English goes into the furthest ring to hunt her down and along the way he starts murdering the horrorterrors. Because they are being hunted the horrorterrors ally with our players so when requested they create the dream bubbles for them, which in it of itself created the very dream bubble Alt Calliope would appear in to begin with."
