GreenSun

The Green Sun title is a massive star in the middle of the Furthest Ring with the mass of two universes, having been born from the simultaneous explosions of Universe A and Universe B. It is the source of power of all first guardians, and one source of the first guardian-born demon Lord English's immortality.

Concept and creation[]

There are various precedents in literature and pop culture for a green star. Notably, Insane Clown Posse's "Miracles" music video features a green star on the horizon behind a carnival.

Influential 1908 supernatural horror novel The House on the Borderland features a vast green star speculated to be the central sun around which various universes orbit, and which contains other dead stars. J.R.R. Tolkien's 1939 essay On Fairy-Stories uses the concept of a green sun as an example of something that might take great skill and effort for an author to suspend a reader's disbelief about. William Laurence of the New York Times described the United States' 1945 Trinity nuclear test as creating "a great green super-sun climbing in a fraction of a second to a height of more than 8,000 feet, rising ever higher until it touched the clouds".

Description[]

The Green sun link's power coursing through Becquerel.HS

A great number of universes, and the sessions associated with them, are preside[d] over by the Green sun link, much like a giant solar systemHS, likely implying that these bodies within the Furthest Ring are kept in place by the Sun's gravitational pull.

While first guardians all draw power from the Green sun link, one with the Sun's power must be within the Sun's "domain" to use it; which is to say, within one of the universes or Incipispheres caught in the Green sun link's pull. Each first guardian is a gateway to the Sun's energy - literallyHS - with their abilities to warp space likely owing to the Sun being itself composed of two universes worth of space. Jadesprite also found it hard to stop seeingHS the Green sun link, indicating that some sensory connection to the Sun may also be what allows first guardians to be aware of the world around them at such great distances, and near-omniscient when merged with a host of great intelligenceHS.

History[]

Greensunborn

The birth of the Green Sun.

The Green sun link was created when Rose Lalonde and Dave Strider, operating on the advice that destroying the Sun would strip Jack Noir of Becquerel's powerHS, travelled deep into the Furthest Ring on the detached moon of Derse to detonate The Tumor, which in actuality either destroyed the A and B universes or channeled the energy from their destructions via Snowman's death and Jack's Red Miles respectively.

Rose's hand in the creation of the Green sun link was foreshadowed in the architecture of her Land of Light and Rain, with carvingsHS of the Sun within a captchalogue card found within the planet's temples despite Rose's best efforts to dismantle the planetary quest seemingly being pushed upon her. The sun on the spritely bedHS created for Jade by Becsprite also appears as bright green.

An Alternate Calliope ultimately began the Rapture by opening a black hole beside the Green sun link, quickly pulling the Sun into its gravitational well along with chunks of the Furthest Ring, having been well and truly shattered by Lord English's assault on reality, increasing the black hole's mass exponentially and giving it a distinct green accretion disk.[image?]

A pink equivalent to the Green sun link is a rare motif in Homestuck, first used by Kanaya as a euphemism for Rose's supermassive self-confidence; an image of such a sun then very briefly appears haloing the figure of the grimdark Rose Lalonde in Seer: Descend. The colors of these two suns happen to match the colors of Alternia's twin moons.

Trivia[]

  • Green stars do not exist in real life, as stars tend to emit radiation on a black-body spectrum ranging from red to blue-white; green fire like that associated with radiation in Homestuck is however chemically possible to create with the right ingredients.
