** It's been revealed that the most powerful needleKind weapon are the Quills of Echidna, making this theory somewhat more likely.
** However given the current situation, it's ambiguous if he'll be shown.
*** And the question does arise of how exactly he manages to use it period, having no hands.
*** What makes you so sure he doesn't have hands? The kids aren't shown with arms half the time. Hephaestus isn't shown with arms on Dave's browser, but he wields the hammer. The worm that looks like John's browser was revealed to be one of his minions, not actually him, and Vriska's reaction to his appearance suggests something more dreadful.
* Pretty much appears to be Jossed.

Over the course of the comic, Typheus is never associated with a weapon.

*** I understood that. I just disagree with it because it's inelegant, unsupported, and in many ways kind of spits in the face of what we're already told. We know that Skaia accounts for things before it happens. We also know that it anticipated post- and pre-Scratch players. To such a degree that Dirk's Bro and Roxy's Mom have Time and Light powers, and Dirk's Bro and Jade's Grandpa demonstrate implications of Heart and Hope in hindsight. But there is not a damn thing, anywhere, suggesting that Jade has Life, John has Hope, Jane has Wind, Dirk has Time, or anything like that. Infact, Rose even explicitly states that they NEED to go to the Post-Scratch session, since otherwise there will be no Time or Space players. If your dual-Aspect theory were to have any merit at all, then Rose wouldn't of been able to make this statement.

* Rose actually teases Dave about him being attracted to dream Roxy here https://www.homestuck.com/story/4708, Quoth Dave "hey, who was that choice babe in the pajamas". There were also implications about Davesprite flirting with Jade, iirc.

There were also implications about Davesprite flirting with Jade, iirc.
iirc. So that's three characters, Rose, Dave and Jade all pretty much confirmed to at least be bi.

"Word of God" when we're talking about Hussie.

** This version of events is Confirmed: the only kids that died in the new Alpha Timeline were John (LOWASploded) and Roxy (Heroically forked by the Condesce during the Derse raid that happened instead of [S] Game Over in the new timeline), and both of them arrive from the retcon shenanigans doom-free.

to:

* Dave being ''bi'' is the next best thing to Confirmed: aside from an increasingly close relationship with Karkat that he's not comfortable addressing directly in front of John, Dave's next-to-last question to Dirk is how Dirk came out to his friends. He does, however, still consistently and involuntarily hit on female characters, and of course versions of him dated both Terezi and Jade.




to:

* Confirmed, technically. Dave uses [[Main/TimeStandsStill timestop]] powers during his, Dirk's, and Terezi's fight with an English-possessed Jack and Cyber-Spades in [S] Collide.




to:

* Sorta half-confirmed, Dave uses Caledfwlch to kill an English-possessed iteration of Jack Noir (along with Cyber-Spades and Dirk in the same strike). Dave's also implied to be part of the weapon used to defeat the main version of English, along with the other original kids.




to:

* Jossed, but Davesprite ''does'' end up as a superpowered double-Sprite, rather than a superpowered double-Godtier.




to:

* Jossed, apparently you can't double-Godtier by dying on your quest bed again.

*** Karkat's ancestor is actually confirmed to be a Jesus figure.

*** ***** Karkat's ancestor is actually confirmed to be a Jesus figure.



*** Completely and totally wrong. Jane's planet is covered in ancient messages left by the Consorts saying that the Nobles (Jane's Party) will be assisted by divine intervention, and the coming of the Gods.
*** You misunderstand. The theory isn't Jossed by the fact that the Post-Scratch session knows the players are coming. The theory arises in that ''no other session has ever had players from another session join it''. That uniqueness is the root of the WMG. The WMG then speculates the consequences of that event, and suggests additional aspects are one result of the uniqueness of the Post-Scratch session. If an ordinary session has identical aspects between Ancestors and Heroes, then the abnormal Human Sessions, where the aspects differ between parents and children, that might result in unexpected abilities manifesting as well. Admittedly it would have helped to have that explained in the theory, but I was going for a simple approach to the idea.
*** I understood that. I just disagree with it because it's inelegant, unsupported, and in many ways kind of spits in the face of what we're already told. We know that Skaia accounts for things before it happens. We also know that it anticipated post- and pre-Scratch players.

If your dual-Aspect theory were to have any merit at all, then Rose wouldn't of been able to make this statement.
*** There is plenty of half-evidence that hints at their abilities being more complicated, which was referenced above. How can Rose black out a session? Corrupted abilities haven't been explained all that well either frankly! Is it too much of a coincidence that in Rose's ongoing DarkIsNotEvil / LightIsNotGood thing that her "corrupted" abilities happened to exactly mimic a Hero of Void? Why was Dave's dreamself half awake? Nobody else's dreamself has been shown to be half awake, though Dirk echoes it. And again, you misunderstand. This wouldn't apply in reverse at all; I'm not trying to say Jane or Dirk have abilities they haven't displayed. Because of that, your insistence on Rose's comments is irrelevant because I'm '''agreeing''' with you on that. Besides, the insistence on canonical sessions is somewhat misguided; both the Post-Scratch Human Session and the Cherub session are incredibly bizarre even by Sburb's standards, and already have been shown to differ wildly from the typical session. Clearly, Hussie is willing to play fast and loose with his own established rules. And as an aside, though I can see you disagree with the theory, please leave personal attacks on the side. Unless you have some sort of canonical evidence disproving the theory, it's not Jossed because you don't like it.

* Jossed. There's no such moment before the final fight, but it's likely he'll come out in the epilogue. As for the ship, unconfirmed, and it's doubtful it will ever be set in stone.

* Hints into Dave's fears fill SweetBroAndHellaJeff, which makes sense because the things people tend to find the funniest are the ones that make them uncomfortable. Amongst the things that show up a lot are homophobic language and things that can be seen as gay being followed by comments of how bad they are. From this we can at least conclude he's afraid that he might be gay.

** Being an albino would actually ''enable'' him to be any possible race; otherwise, how many non-caucasian people with blond/white hair have you seen? I doubt Dave or Dirk dye it. The same, coincidentally, goes for pink-eyed Roxy and possibly for violet-eyed Rose: the only way for their hair/eye colors to make sense is for them to be albino.
