2013/08/28 - Giving An Earful

[RandomGeekNamedBrent]

the prediction came up because the sunday before last was exactly 3 years from Tarot giving it. We were hoping Rick would actually show it in the time period that "3 years from now" would cover

Why is the prediction about Sabrina coming up? She never once appeared in this arc, was never mentioned in this arc, and it was not hinted at.

Isn't the fact that she tends to hang out with them frequently a good reason? Besides, the prediction it was supposed to happen now in August. Plus, some people were talking in the thread "characters death" that Rick had confirmed on twitter he had planned something about that but I guess it was a lie.

Is this going to come up every time any character is near water from now on?

I doubt it. The deadline was supposed to be set on August 18th.

Just because they are going to a water park means nothing.

Yeah but he could have said something like a balloon ride instead. There was no need to mention a waterpark if he had no intention to use it.

Also, Grape does not mind water rides.

Or maybe she was just being friendly with Peanut.

[copper]

Heh, naw, she likes water rides...

And three years rarely means EXACTLY three years to the day.... if I say in a year, I do not mean to this very second, and I doubt you would either. Not to mention the fact that that is three years in real time, not comic time. I have no idea how long ago that was in comic time. Am I mistaken? I know the two come close, but there is a difference.

[RandomGeekNamedBrent]

I think each arc starts with comic time and real time being the same, then the comic time advances as the story dictates.

[Dissension]

I believe Brent is correct.

[RandomGeekNamedBrent]

also, I think when someone says "x years from now" or "x years ago" it usually means "x years ago/from now, give or take a month or two"

[Sleet]

Housepets! could also operate under cartoon time, where multiple years pass in-universe despite time actually not passing.

[Dissension]

Yes.

[copper]

Yep, and it is that give or take a month or two that comes into play here.... I am sure it will come up before the end of the year if Rick meant it to happen.

[CHAOKOCartoons]

Yeah! It's like weather predictions!... but with spirits... and could be fatal.

[IceKitsune]

You know what, there is one thing that was never fully addressed about this arc, was that the Soul Shattering Prophecy or not?

[Gren]

And I didn't get what was the alluded protocol.

[RandomGeekNamedBrent]

there was no protocol, it was just an arc title Rick came up with.

[Gren]

A meaningless title? That's so cheap!

[IceKitsune]

there was no protocol, it was just an arc title Rick came up with.

I choose to believe that the whole "Wake Up" thing is officially titled (like in Heaven Law Books and stuff like that) the Gallifrax Protocol, because it is cooler that way.

Awww, Grape and max are so cute together ^^ and poor peanut...
