    Minor Cthulhu Mythos Revision

    There is unfortunately no way I would have the time or energy to look over and properly evaluate something like this, nor would I feel that good about doing so without a full re-read of the fiction fresh in my mind.

    Minor Cthulhu Mythos Revision

    In regard to my opinion on how the site should treat canon, let me first acknowledge that what I'm about to say isn't some "objectively correct" interpretation, as Lovecraft made his mythology deliberately loose and open in many aspects so that his peers could also play around in its cosmic...

    Just glancing over this it seems pretty solid. Thanks.

    Minor Cthulhu Mythos Revision

    Hey sorry I haven't had a lot of time to pop back in for this, though regardless I'm rarely ever the best at squashing down revisions into bite-sized snippets for in-profile justification. That said, I think it'd be worth bringing up something I came across after finally having the chance to...

    I was going to briefly pop in and apologize for not being able to be here for a long time and probably still not being able to be here with any level of consistency, but considering nothing has happened since I left, I don't feel that bad. lol Yeah. Another part of the problem is that...

    First Guardian, but not First Place (Homestuck downgrade)

    We've already talked about this in the other thread, so obviously I agree. MSPA Reader should be relative to the existence of other metanarrative-level characters, not completely transcendent of them.

    Minor Cthulhu Mythos Revision

    Intended to reply yesterday but meds messed me up something fierce. Anyway, as opposed to replying in bits and pieces to everything, I'll try to give a reply that best presents the information I'm trying to convey, on its own. Especially since I don't know how often I'll be around. A lot of the...

    Minor Cthulhu Mythos Revision

    When, specifically? As I mentioned, terms like "undimensioned" and "outside time and the dimensions we know" are used when referring to the realm of the Ancient Ones, but they are not the exact same terms as the Ultimate Void, nor do they have the same elaboration in the greater context of the...

    Minor Cthulhu Mythos Revision

    He uses the specific term "undimensioned" in this vague way, yes. Which is why I did not include any of those quotes in the OP, as they are never used in regards to the Ultimate Void or Archetypes. "Undimensioned" is used a single time in the story, which is applied to the realm of the Ancient...

    Minor Cthulhu Mythos Revision

    This isn't so much an actual change in tiering as it is a minor adjustment to the tiering currently on several pages. Basically, the High 1-B low end on the pages of anything that would eventually come to be called an "Outer God" after Lovecraft's time (Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, etc.)...

    Hey There, Would You Like to Talk About Homestuck's Weird Metanarrative Tiering?

    Hey sorry I like Died for a while But glancing around at the profiles I generally agree with where they seem to have ended up. My sole issue, which is more of a relic of the old scaling, is that I still have no idea why MSPA Reader is an entire R>F layer above Alt. Calliope, Ult. Dirk, and the...

    Hey There, Would You Like to Talk About Homestuck's Weird Metanarrative Tiering?

    Sorry, been extremely busy. Will catch up with what I missed and hopefully give a proper reply within the next few days.

    Hey There, Would You Like to Talk About Homestuck's Weird Metanarrative Tiering?

    Got very sick, so I figured I'd briefly jump back in after recovering just to say that after Deonment elaborated on the Furthest Ring stuff, I stand by the updated tiering from here, with the exception that I'm still pretty certain First Guardian MSPA Reader is too high, after revisiting...

    Hey There, Would You Like to Talk About Homestuck's Weird Metanarrative Tiering?

    I believe Deonment was basing it off our current scaling, though I don't know what the exact reason for it is. I think it might just be Low 1-A if the hierarchy becomes High 1-B, though the number of pages that meaningfully affects is pretty slim. I'm also not sure MSPA Reader should be an...

    Hey There, Would You Like to Talk About Homestuck's Weird Metanarrative Tiering?

    Sorry for the delay. For some reason, I never got a notification about any new responses and lost track of time. Anyway, because a lot of discussion has been had since the OP, I am only going to reply to anything immediately relevant to the most recent discussion. Trust me, this isn't meant as...
