mobius double reacharound.. explained!

got the idea to write this from a friends bulletin post on spacehey, asking what mobius double reacharound was, so ty for the inspiration!!

MDR

mobius double reacharound (MDR) is in summary, the stable time loop of the infinite creation of the trolls' and kids' sessions and universes, over and over. specifically, the term is more often used to describe the trolls' session.

when the trolls start out in sgrub, they believe the goal is to be split into 2 teams and compete for who will win/finish their session first. later, its discovered the 2 teams were 1, and they must learn to work together to not die, and create a new universe.

the term "mobius" is coined from a "mobius strip", which is a sheet that at first looks like its made up of 2 sides, but running a finger over it reveals its actually just one! basically, a physical version of what the trolls went through.

the MDR virus

the mobius double reacharound virus is also another really interesting & detailed topic i want to explain, and it really ties the whole mobius theme with the 2 universes together nicely!

sollux, an expert in the programming language ~ATH (used on both alternia & earth) coded the virus for fun.

universe 1 & universe 2 are both imported. the first universe starts a method executing the second universe's method, which both inexplicably overlap. then, the 2 universes die.

basically, the 2 universes are the trolls' and the kids'. the program connects these 2 universes and causes them to forever be cursed yet the most stable time loop, creating and destroying eachother endlessly.

thats all i have, let me know if i have anything wrong or u have anything 2 add!! also taking requests for explaining stuff in homestuck (unless its lil cal/juju lore....)!!! byee (^0^)/*

(panel source)

When an auspistice mediates between two trolls, they "[prevent] the feud from boiling over into a fully caliginous rivalry"; in other words, a troll should have their pitch (♠) and ashen (♣) quadrants filled by three different trolls.

(With all of their quadrants filled traditionally, a troll could be in romantic relationships with up to five other trolls.)
