I believe the character of The Seer is a reference to the Homestuck character Rose Lalonde, for a number of reasons. I’ve decided to write this out to say why and maybe give some insight into it. Of course, this isn’t to say they are the same: not only is Rose a character with her own drives and such, she’s also thirteen, which is why I’m not going to get into anything sexual since that’s gross and I’d be rightly banned. Also, spoilers for Homestuck are abound, so if you somehow are a) interested in it and b) haven’t already read the entire damn thing, you should probably actually read the goddamn webcomic instead of this.
Anyway, let’s begin:
Title
This is the most obvious one. The character of Rose Lalonde in Homestuck class is Seer, with her specific title being the Seer of Light. This alone, however, is not enough, and the Light part is pretty contrary to The Seer’s aesthetic, especially considering its colors. However, on that note...
Purple
Rose’s color in the webcomic is purple, as the picture above demonstrates. The Seer, similarly, wears purple, although obviously in a much more revealing fashion. Not only that, but Rose also has her dreamself on Derse, a moon that is very purple indeed.
Tentacles
Rose’s username for her chat client is literally TentacleTherapist, something she undoubtedly thought was pretty clever and ties into her eldritch aesthetics, which often includes the color purple. Not only that, but she also is interested in the Horrorterrors, which are basically unfathomable abominations floating about in the Furthest Ring. This is interesting since they are aligned with Void, the aspect opposite to Light, and connects back to the part about the title not really aligning with The Seer’s aesthetic.
Indubitably, these are far from the only connections that can be made, but I feel like I’ve stated my piece for now. Feel free to comment, but hppefully you can understand my perspective.
