Analyzing the New Handles in Vrissy's Chumroll

So, I have a lot of thoughts about HS2's return and how this new team is going about things. Except...this post ain't about all that; it's about the handles we saw in yesterday's upd8! Don't know if anybody else has already done this, but I wanted to look into what the handles mean and what that says about the owners of each of them.

> recidivousGainsayer [RG]

To be "recidivous" means that you are prone to relapsing into a former condition or, in a more negative sense, behavioral pattern. Whereas, a "gainsayer" is somebody who either declares something as false or opposes another person by contradicting them.

Honestly, out of the new kids of HS2, this is probably my favorite handle we've seen thus far! I dunno how to describe it exactly, but RG's handle (and Harry Anderson's, whose handle is my second fave) feels the most Homestuck-esque to me. Like, it's something I'd expect to see out of the original text. Plus, it just sounds nicer than Vrissy's or Tav's!

The person behind this handle is most likely the type to have a tendency to fall back into old, bad habits. A contrarian that will point out the lies around them, though they might be a bit of hypocrite if their bad habits align with the kind of stuff they're trying call bullshit on.

> gavageCunctation [GC]

"Gavage" has two meanings: it's either a method of forced feeding involving a tube, or it's a system of forcing poultry to eat fixed quantities of food at specific intervals for the sole purpose of fattening them up. "Cunctation" is just a fancy synonym for procrastination or a delay, though it could also describe a kind of slowness that is cautious and deliberate.

Definitely a weird combo to have as a handle. Though, then again, who the fuck in Homestuck has ever had a normal-ish sounding handle? Whatever, this handle definitely sits at the bottom of the list of the handles I like out of the new HS2 cast.

Whoever this new GC is, they're a procrastinator. A procrastinator with purpose, mind you. Their inclination to put stuff off isn't done out of pure laziness or indifference; perhaps it's done out of anxiety or fear. But, in the end, they'll do it. It'll be a pain in the ass, but there's shit to be done and a goal to achieve. They just gotta do it in baby steps; one thing at a time, bit by bit.

CHUMHANDLE BREAKDOWN (spoilers for the Latest Homestuck: Beyond Canon Upd8!)

Chumhandle Breakdown

THE OLD STUFF thespiansGlamor = Harry “Harry” Anderson glutinousGymnast = Tavros “Tavvy” Crocker adamantGriftress = Vriska “Vrissy” Maryam-Lalonde

THE NEW STUFF recidivousGainsayer

Recidivous is “tending to relapse or having relapsed” Gainsayer is “One who contradicts or denies what is alleged; an opposer. A person who gainsays others; a disagreeable person.” A relapsed opposer? And also…they don’t follow the pattern of DNA strands, as R is not in DNA strands (I don’t think.) May be important, may be not too important.

gavageCunctation Gavage is “the administration of food or drugs by force, especially to an animal, typically through a tube leading down the throat to the stomach.”

Cunctation is “the action or an instance of delaying; tardy action” So…tardy force-feed? I have no idea what this one is referring to. It *might* be Yiffy, because of the whole “animal” emphasis in the definition, but I have no idea what “force-feeding” has to do with her personality. Tardy might work for her, because she literally was only introduced after the epilogues. INTERESTINGLY, they are already ready to chat, despite not having any bars in the beginning of this upd8 except for her jail bars.

(I have no idea if what I just wrote above makes sense, so please tell me if ANY of these things make sense or if I'm just losing it over nothing.)

With the persistent threat of The Malignant's deplorable and vile ways forever burdening anything and anyone they deem a "gainsayer," they shouldn't be so surprised when their number one target shows up on their doorstep to clean house, in 'My Pushed Hand, My Closed Fist'

"Let the Spirit be lacking, and there may be wisdom of words, but not the wisdom of God; the powers of oratory, but not the power of God; the demonstration of argument and the logic of the schools, but not the demonstration of the Holy Spirit, the all-convincing logic of His lightning flash, such as convinced Saul before the Damascus gate. When the Spirit was outpoured the disciples were all filled with power from on high, the most unlettered tongue could silence gainsayers, and with its new fire burn its way through obstacles as flames fanned by mighty winds sweep through forests." – Arthur Tappan Pierson

Understand the characters of the people you are dealing with in order to penetrate their intentions. When you know the cause, you know the effect. The effect tells us the motive. The melancholy person always forecasts unhappiness, and the gainsayer, faults. They think only of the worst, and, overlooking the good that is present, they announce the evil that is possible. The person swayed by passion cannot speak of things as they are: passion speaks in him, not reason. Each person speaks according to his emotion or his humor, and all are far from the truth. You should know how to decipher a face and spell out the lettering of somebody's soul. Know that the person who is always laughing is a fool, and the one who never laughs is false. Be careful of the person who is always questioning you, either because he asks too much or because he carps and scruples. Expect little good from the person with a nasty face. These people like to avenge themselves on nature, because she honored them so little. A person is usually as foolish as he is beautiful. (Baltasar Gracian)

Never be afraid to answer questions from the skeptics. That's how you prove your beliefs to be true and the gainsayers won't be able to say much after that.

Christians today are embarrassed by the intellectual challenges thrown at them by the unbelievers. Although we are not divinely inspired like the prophets and the apostles, if we will wholly depend on the revelation of Scripture, we will indeed be the master philosophers of this world. Because we have revelation as the foundation of our philosophy, unbelievers are not in fact competing against our own wisdom, but the very wisdom of God. Thus if we will only learn to apply divine revelation with skill when answering their challenges, there can be no real contest, but we will destroy every unbelieving argument, and embarrass the gainsayers.

Non-Christians prize the idea that they are intelligent, and they find comfort and security in the idea that Christians are irrational. The biblical apologist shatters their illusion, and shows them their true condition, that they are stupid and sinful, and that they are the intellectual quacks of this world. Their only hope is in Christ, and since, although they believe that they possess autonomy, it is also an illusion, it is not even in their power to produce faith in Christ to save themselves; rather, faith is a gift of God, and salvation depends on the sovereign mercy of God alone.

May, 8 (Morning) Devotion

“He that was healed wist not who it was.”

John 5:13

Years are short to the happy and healthy; but thirty-eight years of disease must have dragged a very weary length along the life of the poor impotent man. When Jesus, therefore, healed him by a word, while he lay at the pool of Bethesda, he was delightfully sensible of a change. Even so the sinner who has for weeks and months been paralysed with despair, and has wearily sighed for salvation, is very conscious of the change when the Lord Jesus speaks the word of power, and gives joy and peace in believing. The evil removed is too great to be removed without our discerning it; the life imparted is too remarkable to be possessed and remain inoperative; and the change wrought is too marvellous not to be perceived. Yet the poor man was ignorant of the author of his cure; he knew not the sacredness of his person, the offices which he sustained, or the errand which brought him among men. Much ignorance of Jesus may remain in hearts which yet feel the power of his blood. We must not hastily condemn men for lack of knowledge; but where we can see the faith which saves the soul, we must believe that salvation has been bestowed. The Holy Spirit makes men penitents long before he makes them divines; and he who believes what he knows, shall soon know more clearly what he believes. Ignorance is, however, an evil; for this poor man was much tantalized by the Pharisees, and was quite unable to cope with them. It is good to be able to answer gainsayers; but we cannot do so if we know not the Lord Jesus clearly and with understanding. The cure of his ignorance, however, soon followed the cure of his infirmity, for he was visited by the Lord in the temple; and after that gracious manifestation, he was found testifying that “it was Jesus who had made him whole.” Lord, if thou hast saved me, show me thyself, that I may declare thee to the sons of men.
