Something to note:

Andrew Hussie's girlfriend revealed that the flash was about 3 minutes in length at 35%. That might mean we're looking at an ~8 minute flash.

Unless she was trolling.

I find it somewhat interesting that god tier Dave and Rose resemble their guardians so strongly, particularly Rose. Also, wild speculation. God tier Aradia is actually the Handmaid (suckers) and real Aradia did, in fact, blow up.

I don't think anyone else has responded, so I will take a stab:
We know for sure that the tumor is a bomb that makes a green sun. Maybe all null sessions DO have them and that is how they are destroyed (which would mean null sessions also destroy the universe that made it), but a tumor that is brought out of the null session and into the furthest ring will cause problems for the horrorterrors.

I feel like the Tumor is a long gambit by Scratch and others like Scratch to ultimately create Lord English/their power source outside of space and time. I feel like Scratch has manipulated everything into facilitating the creation of Lord English.

Prior to the involvement of the kids, there was no Lord English although the concept of "was" doesn't really apply in the grand scheme of things. Ultimately, Lord English's entire existence is contingent on the kids.

Also, why would Andrew edit Aradia's expression to make her smug? And why would he do the Ancestors background with the handmaid beforehand? Her master is Lord English. Sollux's ancestry was directly paralleled in the flash. It'd be hard to say there's no significance to it.

Anyway, that's my speculation on why I think she's probably a bad guy.

I also think that Rose looks a little too satisfied/amused for the situation (considering she just created what she intended to destroy).

Also, if we consider that God Tier Aradia is just hanging out in the outer ring, where we know some entity has been killing the elder gods...

More over, Aradia being considered an enemy is more in line with an eight player session: 4 surviving trolls (Gamzee, Karkat, Terezi, Kanaya) and the four kids.

So I've now watched this about a dozen times and it's really starting to bug me when Jade is collecting LOFAF for her space juggling act the animation seems to skip several frames and her arm and the planet snap to a different location. Is this happening for anyone else or is it on my end (just at the start of part 5)?

Fairly certain that's intentional.

vvvv

I wasn't criticizing him -- he's free to think it's really stupid, which is totally okay! I just think the frame skipping was on purpose as opposed to a problem on his end.

Also this tends to imply Lil Cal is a universal constant. Which is something we all knew in our hearts to be true all along.

I'm not so sure of that. Lord English seemed perfectly tailored to the genetic code and first guardian of the troll session. As such, I'm sort of wondering if his appearance changes from session to session based on the genetic code and first guardian.

Would he look dog-like if he were to erupt from Bec?

Maybe he's always Big Cal, though.

e: Also, is this implying that Lord English is super Scratch or that Lord English is summoned through the body of the first guardian?

e2: He also has a gold tooth so he's definitely Plumbthroat.

I sort of agree entirely. I'm also getting sick of this need to create STUNNING CONFUSING CLIFFHANGER every few updates. It was interesting at first when we got some pretty amazing revelations -- like Aradia recounting the creation of the human universe.

But, now, I dunno. Just feels like he's trying to be JJ Abrams with all these completely unnecessary cliffhangers and mysteries.

Really? Having a complex plot is treating your readers like assholes?

You can have a complex plot without ridiculous cliffhangers.

For example, instead of having notVriska walk up and Jake suddenly wake up at that exact moment to leave the reader wondering about the intentions... you could just have her go "Oh hi, I'm blahblahblah."

I mean, that conversation is eventually coming.

I think it also shows up in the drummed up mystery of the identity of characters. Why can't we see what UU looks like? What critical revelation is a character's appearance really going to have on the story?

I don't get the "shadowy man" cliche that so many works of fiction seem to love as a cliffhanger device.

It worked in Act 5.1 when we saw a glimpse of Equius and Vriska before turning away to other characters. We had a logical reason to avoid them (Equius is creepy; Vriska is a jerk). Here it's just drama for the sake of drama.

Exactly, the windows lead to the Furthest Ring/dream bubbles. Theoretically, this could be the way the post-scratch kids enter the medium. Since the ring and scepter are shown to have no prototype bubbles -- all the kids could jump in through these windows and get into the game that way. Or, conversely, fall on to a rocketing meteor.

There is no meteor. There is no reckoning.

The reckoning requires a game creature. Presumably, there is no Black Queen or King. Only Crocker. She has no means with which to start the reckoning, which is probably a massive problem with the nature of the game.

Also Feferi shows up for a split second at the end of that flash.

Wonder why.
