Yeah, I understand. Actually I'm caught up now and I don't think I have any trouble grasping what's going on, but I felt stupid continuing to edit and thought that editing every time I learned something new and relevant might be more annoying then me just leaving it as it is. Do you want me to add to the history section with the rest of the revelations relating to Aradia in the more recent updates, or do you want to quiz me or what?
I was writing the samples as if it was a memo, yeah, partly to show that I know how she talks. I'm flexible about whether she would treat it like a memo or a browser while I actually play her. I don't think it would matter too much, only that if it were a memo possibly I could do timeline shenanigans with past, present and future Aradia, while if it were a browser it would remain linear according to her subjective timeline... though as she's the Maid of Time she can hop around timelines as she chooses anyway.
If it were a browser she'd still use her blood colour and quirks IMO, just that the usernames wouldn't show up in front of each line. But her livejournal username would still be apocalypseArisen (regardless that it's too long for LJs username character limit o9). And anyway I just woke up and I'm babbling now. I guess my point is, do you care and which would you prefer I do? Because I don't actually care that much, though it makes sense that the Homestuck cast be consistent.
Lemme know what you want me to do about the wibbly wobbly stuff. As a note, I know that she blew up because Derse was destroyed (and therefore her dream self was killed) by Jack but because her dream self was on her quest bed at the time that caused her to achieve godhood and return to life. She froze Jack for a bit, but that was dangerous and took all of her power, so she absconded to the green sun in the furthest ring, then discovered that it was one of her own robot alternate selves that crashed in her back yard and resulted in the SGRUB server disk being found in the troll universe.
Then she dragged the robot version of her, Sollux, Jade, Tavros and Kanaya into a bubble and explained how they were all manipulated to gather the code to create Doc Scratch, the same way Bec was made from Rose' DNA code to be the first guardian of Earth.
...okay that was probably what you wanted to know I knew, but if you want more lemme know.
That does actually clear up our concerns, yes, as it was particularly the lack of information on her soulbot exploding that made us worry that you were unclear on events in canon. Now that you are all caught up and have shown you certainly do know what's what in regards to her life (...such as it is), we are okaying your character notes.
You should still be allowed to be flexible with time, even if she was using it as a browser. Time seems to be malleable in other areas of the Internet in Homestuck, as Rose's walkthrough was uploaded to the Furthest Ring server, allowing it to be accessed by Kanaya millions of years in the past. You could possibly, permissions allowing, have Aradia post outside of her natural order, such as a robot post followed by a dead post. Crossing yourself any further than that in the style of Karkat's kismesistic shenanigans is probably not such a hot idea, though.
PLOT INTRICACIES AND PERSONAL OPINION ASIDE, it seems that for the sake of ease of reading for other players (oh the irony), it would be best to stick to a browser format.
Yeah, I realized that when I was reading I was like jeez okay I should have probably held off on apping until I had caught up. But when I wrote the app I had just done that little game where you walk around as Karkat/Terezi/etc. and thought the bot was about to blow up and that was that for her. Then I got to those bits and was like fuuuuuuuuuu, but I decided that editing a million times when you guys might just not care was silly.
And you have a good point about the walkthrough! I'll definitely do the browser thing, and keep things chronological unless there's reason not to. And I'll ask permission for timeline shenanigans o7
