nevermind, instead of Googling it like I do EVERYTHING else I've never seen before I assumed the purple brake fluid that came out of the calipers was something along the lines of ATE super blue. Wrong, it was DOT5, and I poured DOT4 in, which I read in another thread causes silicon to build up in the system and causes clogs or malfunctions or whatever else. This would appear to be my problem, and I am not amused.
