King Crimson skips time, letting the user ignore cause and effect to go straight to their desired outcome.
The little face, Epitaph, sees 10 seconds into the future to determine the best possible outcome for the user. The user then picks the potential future they want, and use King Crimson, the main Stand, to time travels to it instantly, ignoring what had to occur to reach that outcome. So if, for example, the user needs to close the distance on someone with a gun in order to attack them in melee, and Epitaph sees an outcome where they do so, but gets shot in the process, they can skip straight to the effect, being close to their opponent, while ignoring the cause, running over while being shot.
However, if they needed to cross a busy freeway, and there’s no future in which they get across it within ten seconds, they’d have to find another way to cross.
It breaks the rules of cause and effect to allow the user to do things perfectly and instantly.
This is unironically the best explanation of King Crimson I’ve seen.
And then he goes and uses it for this
So he basically blacks out for ten seconds and ends up with better stuff?
this might be it, or at least close. it was on a mspaforum around the time terezi was introduced, since people were talking about “the new troll” and posting pictures of her. im a bit thrown off by the casual usage of the term “fantroll”, but this may also be when it was first coined
UPDATE: after some serious snoopin around, google has forced me to prove im not a robot by submitting a captcha. despite that drawback, as far as i can tell, there were no instances of the word “fantroll” in reference to homestuck before that little dude up there. ill continue my search
UPDATE: there were no mentions of the term “fantroll” before 03/03/10 on tumblr or deviantart
That’s what someone thought the troll who would turn out to be Feferi would be. I don’t think he counts.
BUSTED
I’m guessing that the first fantroll would be Doctor Tess’s troll, since she was the one who started the craze on the MSPA forums. Problem is, I don’t know her name.
tess just started the “fantroll index” forum or whatever, i think? either way
theres some weird corruption on the earlier posts. i doubt she made that post in 1970 lmao
(also i can’t access that fourm. if you can, tell me?)
