The Magic Chest
Remember John's MAGIC CHEST?
In here you keep an array of humorous and mystical ARTIFACTS, each one a devastating weapon in the hands of a SKILLED MAGICIAN or a CUNNING PRANKSTER.
This sounds eerily familiar.
A “MAGIC CHEST”...
...containing a “mystical ARTIFACT” that’s “a devastating weapon”...
VRISKA: The legend says there's some mystical ancient treasure hidden somewhere out here in the furthest ring. VRISKA: I'm assuming it's some kind of weapon. It's said that if you use it, or like, activ8te it in some way, [Lord English] can 8e defeated forever.
...“in the hands”...
..."of a SKILLED MAGICIAN or a CUNNING PRANKSTER."
JOHN: i thought for sure i was a goner, when suddenly i poofed away from his tentacly grasp like houdini’s slippery ghost. later i rematerialized to seize the tactical advantage!
JOHN: i am like the ultimate prankster now… nanna would be so proud!
John is now both.
The level of foreshadowing and callbacks in Homestuck, retroactively or otherwise, never ceases to amaze me.
