Fridge / Homestuck Jack Noir

• After Jack becomes the Sovereign Slayer, he's referred to as an Ace to fit with the poker-card theme. In Blackjack, an Ace and a Jack beats a King and a Queen.
• Why does Jack become a Spade? It may have something to do with his friendly yet hate-filled relationship with Karkat (and EVERYONE). Although Karkat does not feel the same way.
  • I think it's more that during his time as Jack, he's playing up his difference from the chess motif by referencing a blackjack motif (Jack NOIR= Jack Black= Blackjack), whereas by the time he's Spades Slick, he's just one of the suites forming the midnight crew. His chance to be the Ace had come and gone.
• Most likely, when you saw this page you though to yourself, "Wow, that an out of character thing for an omnicidal maniac to do." But, when he put on the ring, he prototyped himself with all the first tier sprites, specifically John's Harlequin. So, he did because he's part clown.
  • I always thought it was from the dead crow.
• In the past, Bec Noir has tried to teleport to wherever John and Dave are and kill them. In a way, he succeeded. Recently, it's revealed that he also tried to kill Jade by this method, but couldn't bring himself to do so. So what about Rose? We haven't heard from her in a while...
  • Except that we know that she's still alive when the Rift happens.
    • Actually no, we most certainly do not know that. Her timeline and her timelone alone specifically goes black long before anyone else's does and no one can explain why.
    • The reason Rose's screen goes black is because she pretty much just went grimdark. Vriska said that she couldn't see John when he flew into the Blackout, which is the same reason Kanaya can't see her. It's too dark in there.
    • A way of interpreting this last is that if the time windows can't see Rose, neither can Noir.
    • Well, from this page we know that Rose is still alive at some point in the future, and from what Dave says it sounds like it's pretty close to the full 24 hours. But we don't know exactly how the timeline aligns.
• Since being prototyped with Bec, Big Bad Jack Noir has gained decidedly lupine features. What colour is Aradia's god-hood?
  • Also, What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?
• Aradia's role in SGRUB is Maid. In her society she should be a person who carries "sex toys". She's doing it right.
• Spades Slick hates clocks and all matter of things to do with time. Who ends up stopping his counterpart Bec Noir in his tracks? The Maid of Time.
