Honestly, you might want to savor your ignorance. Time travel in Homestuck is a stress-fest that leaves you walking on eggshells.

Even worse, most traditional time-travel exploits aren't possible, due to enforced predestination. You can't save anyone - although you could probably resurrect them, through clever application of the Captcharoid Camera.

Generally, though, it seems like one of the less fun Aspects to get saddled with. The mechanics you're navigating are too restrictive, too punishing.

TG: but seriously what is the real plan here TG: that has to do with not fucking around GC: TH3R3 1S NO PL4N TH4T DO3S NOT 1NVOLV3 FUCK1NG 4ROUND GC: BUT W3 W1LL M4K3 SUR3 4LL OF OUR FUCK1NG W1LL B3 4PPL13D 1N 4 CONSTRUCT1V3 D1R3CT1ON

Congratulations to Jade Harley, for being the only kid left who hasn't been hit on by a troll.

Fraymotifs are a dance, then. I'm interested in seeing exactly how that works in combat - maybe you get bonus damage for following the steps correctly?

Oh, I get it now.

This is a Terezi/Vriska proxy war. They're getting antsy out in the Veil, and the old rivalry is flaring up - but they're restricted by their truce. Plus, they can't actually fight out there, since that whole situation is rather precarious.

Competing from inside the kids' session, though, is relatively safe - or, at least, it won't harm anyone important. How better for the Scourge Sisters to challenge each other, than to test out their manipulation skills on a pair of impressionable kids?

It'll be just like old times.

Karkat's fucking pissed!
