ENTIRE CAST OF CHARACTERS IS BABIES

What the hell does this mean
Actually wait, I think I get it now; the meteor that hit the betty crocker factory had Rose in it. The meteor that hit the joke shop had john in it. The meteor that landed in... the city had Dave in it. The meteor that had jade in it wasn't shown but took place around the same time I guess.
All of the homestuck kids are also genetic siblings or something idk
what sick man sends babies to fight
from now on this is the Homestuck topic
Quote from: TequilaClock;1752706from now on this is the Homestuck topic
Considering how "wtf is going on" is usually what I'm thinking when a new homestuck update comes out, that is fitting
also, there is a theory of Jade being John's granny and John being Jade's gramps is some sort of messed up paradox. Which would mean that John owned Betty Crocker for a time if that's true.
err what is ermmm umm the fuck

Look at the size of that feather
goddamn
calling a CG troll coming up
last time he and john talked this happened:
QuoteCG: RIDING YOUR LITTLE RED ROCKET.
CG: LIKE YOU ARE A FRESHLY HATCHED HUMAN LARVA AND THIS IS JUST ALL A BIG SCHOOLHIVE RUMPUS RESPITE.
EB: humans aren't hatched as larvae dummy.
EB: we don't hatch at all.
EB: we are born as these like little pink monkeys called babies.
CG: BULLSHIT.
CG: THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME.
EB: what did i say?
CG: I'LL PASTE WHAT YOU SAID.
EB: i thought you didn't like going down that road?
EB: copy-pasting future/past conversations...
CG: WHY WOULD I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
EB: i dunno, that's what you just told me.
CG: WHATEVER, LOOK:
CG: EB: this is really weird...
CG: CG: WHAT'S SO WEIRD ABOUT IT.
CG: EB: well, normally humans hatch...
CG: EB: from like these slimy pods.
CG: EB: then we wriggle out as a little pink larva.
CG: CG: OH REALLY.
CG: CG: HUH, MAYBE WE HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN I THOUGHT.
EB: hahaha!
EB: i was punking you dude!
EB: or at least i will be in our next conversation.
EB: thanks for the great prank idea.
CG: ARGH.
CG: WHY WOULD YOU TRICK ME ABOUT THAT, WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT.
and now there are babies to discuss
Yeah, AH kind of wrote himself into a corner on that one. Now he NEEDS to have that chat at some point.
I feel like AH plots out Homestuck a bit like how Chris Onstad did The Great Outdoor Fight and kind of has an idea of where he's going when he starts something like that up.
incidentally, ostensibly Homestuck uses 12 Monkeys/Terminator 1-style paradox resolution (which basically sums up that whole thing with gallowsCalibrator), but it's weird, because Dave has been using artifacts from abandoned timelines, which is more in line with Stargate/Doctor Who, and the appearifier refuses to appearify time-displaced chronologically elsewise objects whose removal would create holes in causation, which I don't... thiiiink quite fits in with either of those. (I won't even get started on the midnight crew and that fucking crowbar.)
basically I'm having a hard time getting a grasp on how the mechanics work.
I'm beginning to suspect there's some hitherto unannounced plot contrivance that determines what is and is not allowed to affect the (apparently predetermined) timeline (and, given the causation loops, will/already has effect/effected it).
holy fuck douglas adams was completely right about time travel grammar god damn

An old man has much to do before he returns to Earth, dies, gets stuffed by his adopted-yet-biological daughter-slash-grand-daughter, and stuck in front of a fireplace.
Taking priority at the moment is shipping two passengers long overdue for a reunion.

OHSHI
"Taking priority at the moment is shipping two passengers long overdue for a reunion."
lol
Yeah I noticed that too.
AH just loves making the story more complex and complex in every update.
On the bright side this did pretty much settle the grandpa corpse mystery by stating that he is going to go back to earth and then go back in time and then die and then get stuffed
so wait, when John is in the land of Wind and Shade, Grandpa is in the past? (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003366)
oh whatever
So, if I get this right, the first set of babies were direct clones whereas the second set are the main characters? You can clearly see that the first rose-ish baby has the same hair as her mom.
Are we supposed to assume John's father just came from a regular birth then?
You're missing the obvious possibility that the babies are the trolls.
That or the babies are the kids and their "parents".
But that's exactly what I just said.
The second part of your post, at least.
Oh. Well fuck.
Quote from: Albino the Destroyer;1753097You're missing the obvious possibility that the babies are the trolls.
But there are 12 trolls and only 8 clones. Plus the clones look nothing like trolls
Quote from: MarlinClock;1753091So, if I get this right, the first set of babies were direct clones whereas the second set are the main characters? You can clearly see that the first rose-ish baby has the same hair as her mom.
Are we supposed to assume John's father just came from a regular birth then?
The machine took the "paradox sludge" of the 4 gardians (mom, bro, nana, and grandpa) and used them to clone them. Then the machine used their genetic clone to make children, combining grandpa and nanas DNA to make John and Jade and then combining Bro and Moms DNA to make Rose and Dave
After that the 4 "main character" clones got sent to earth on meteors and raised by their respective guardians(or they're going to, soon. I suspect that is what John is going to do next). I think Dad was just the son of Nana and possibly Grandpa
I think the whole point of these series of updates is to stop shipping. Like, seriously I think that was the ONLY reason AH did it
nothing can stop shippers.
they are scum.
Quote from: Slurpee;1753007calling a CG troll coming up
caaaaalled it
QuoteEB: so they are like cloned copies of us?
CG: NO.
CG: THEY ARE LITERALLY YOU AND YOUR GUARDIANS.
CG: PARADOX CLONES.
EB: huh?
EB: what do you mean they are literally us?
EB: do they go back in time?
CG: YEAH, OBVIOUSLY. GREAT GUESS BRAIN HERO.
CG: BUT TECHNICALLY THEY AREN'T EVEN SENT BACK IN TIME BECAUSE WITH RESPECT TO THE MEDIUM YOUR UNIVERSE'S TIMELINE IS MEANINGLESS.
CG: SERIOUSLY WHY WOULD IT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT EARTH'S PAST OR FUTURE OR WHATEVER, FROM ITS PERSPECTIVE IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF POINTS TO CHOOSE FROM.
CG: JUST LIKE YOUR CHRONOLOGY IS FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE.
CG: BUT I GUESS THAT'S A BUNCH OF SEMANTICS. WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PERSONAL CHRONOLOGY YEAH THEY GO BACK IN TIME.
CG: A PARADOX CLONE IS BY DEFINITION A CORRECTLY CLONED DUPLICATE THAT WILL INEVITABLY GO BACK IN TIME AND BECOME THE ORIGINAL TARGET THAT WAS CLONED.
Quote CG: BUT WHAT ALL THESE LOFTY SYMBOLIC ALLUSIONS BOIL DOWN TO IS SOME GRANDER STATEMENT ABOUT WHAT YOU SEE HAPPENING HERE.
CG: THAT YOU WERE ALWAYS THE KEY TO SEEDING YOUR OWN EXISTENCE THROUGH THIS GAME.
CG: AND ANY HOPE THAT IT COULD HAVE PLAYED OUT DIFFERENTLY OR THAT YOU COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS WHOLE MESS WAS ALWAYS JUST A RUSE.
EB: a distaction, perhaps?
CG: WHAT?
EB: nevermind.
CG: BECAUSE IF IT DIDN'T GO DOWN THIS WAY THEN HOW WERE YOU EVEN BORN, GET IT.
CG: WHICH IS ESPECIALLY PATHETIC SINCE PARADOX SPACE APPARENTLY WENT TO ALL THIS TROUBLE TO MAKE YOU JUST TO HAVE YOU FAIL AND DIE.
CG: REALLY THERE'S NOTHING MORE TRAGIC THAN THESE NULL SESSIONS FULL OF KIDS ENTERING THE GAME AND FULFILLING SOME COSMIC DESTINY SHIT JUST TO GET WIPED OUT AND LEAVE BEHIND AN EMPTY POINTLESS INCIPISPHERE FOR ALL ETERNITY.
CG: ACTUALLY IT'S SORT OF HILARIOUS.
CG: OR IT WOULD BE IF IT DIDN'T AFFECT ME PERSONALLY.
mystery explained
that second part also kind of pertains to that time travel post I made that nobody read
also AH makes a loophole
Quote EB: why don't you get back to me in a few minutes?
EB: i mean like a few minutes of my time, not yours.
EB: all of these little pink monkeys are getting way out of line and i have to tend to them.
EB: if you message me in a couple minutes, we can continue conversing in a sane, linear fashion for a change!
CG: UM, OK?
nice
That was some pretty hamhanded exposition
Kind of cool that AH is lightening the mystery load by explaining everything people are confused about though
So in other words:
- Grandpa <-> John
- Bro <-> Dave
- Mom <-> Rose
- Grandma <-> Jade
Right? That's pretty much how I predicted it when the guardian babies appeared.
Perhaps, unless the kids become the guardians' guardians and so and so.
QuoteCG: YOU ASKED ABOUT THE RECKONING, SO WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT THAT INSTEAD OF ALL THESE PRETTY MUCH TERRIBLE THINGS.
EB: ok.
CG: YEAH, SO WHEN THE RECKONING STARTS HAPPENING, ALL THESE PARADOX CLONES GET SHIPPED OFF TO METEORS, FLUNG THROUGH SKAIAN DEFENSE PORTALS, AND SENT BACK TO EARTH.
CG: END OF STORY I GUESS.
CG: BYE.
EB: wait!!!
EB: so that means...
EB: we are all sort of like superman?
CG: UH YEAH, I GUESS.
EB: cool!
Another mystery down.

Quote from: TequilaClock;1753347that's why it's so addictive, it actually unfolds in some way with the time
It's like a comic right? If
this is where I need to start then I have a long way to go
will look into this though, seems very interesting
good summery I found
QuoteThe guardians Grandpa, Nanna, Mom and Bro were created in the laboratory by John using their own genetic material sourced from future versions of themselves.
Grandpa and Nanna's DNA merged and created John and Jade. Likewise, Mom and Bro's merged to create Dave and Rose. So now these 8 babies are hanging around in the lab.
During the reckoning, each baby is sent through a portal to Earth on a meteor. Grandpa and Nanna land within about a week of each other 1910 in around the same spot. They are taken in by Sassacre and his wife Betty Crocker and his dog Halley. Sassacre dies shortly after and the two babies are raised as siblings.
13 years later, Grandpa leaves (apparently with the dog, who by most dog ages should have died by now so it's probably Bec) to become renowned explorer and billionare.
Now for a bit of what we haven't seen yet. Nanna grows up and takes the name Egbert presumably from marrying some guy. Together they have Dad.
Later, probably sometime in the 70s another meteor lands with Mom on it. Either around the same time or later still, another meteor with Bro arrives. We don't know how they grow up yet.
Fast forward to 1995. The meteor carrying Jade hits the Betty Crocker factory (owned by Grandpa) in John's future neighbourhood. Grandpa takes the baby to the island in the pacific to grow up.
Days later, meteors carrying Rose and Dave hit their future locales. Mom and Bro are there respectively to adopt them. Months later, April 13, 1996, another meteor carrying baby John hits his neighbourhood, tragically killing Nanna, but Dad is there to take him in.
The kids then grow up and enter Sburb and John reaches the lab where he sets all of this in motion.
I started playing this today. I'm still early in, so I'll join the discussion when I'm up to date!
Wait, so why would Jack plan to send Dave's beta to Jade in the future? Is she going to trigger some bad shit on the future? Does it have to do with Bec forbidding Jade to go to the frog temple?
Quote from: KeyClock;1753620It's like a comic right? If this is where I need to start then I have a long way to go

Ya it took me around one or two nights to get up to date from the beginning, but all this shit is awesome.
AND DON'T FORGET TO SAVE
QuoteCG: YOUR JACK GOT THE BEST OF BOTH OF THEM, AND IS NOW SOMETHING HIGHER THAN A QUEEN OR A KING...
EB: like an ace?
CG: SURE OK.
:facepalm:
I basically intuit things like the whole bit about different game sessions just fine over the course of regular reading, but some reason stuff like THIS flies over my head and makes me feel like a total chode when I finally get it
also, hey, the rabbit timeloop thing. I almost forgot about that.
Quote from: TequilaClock;1753869Wait, so why would Jack plan to send Dave's beta to Jade in the future? Is she going to trigger some bad shit on the future? Does it have to do with Bec forbidding Jade to go to the frog temple?
It's pretty clear that it wasn't intended or planned, Draconian Dignitary just threw away the shit he didn't want, including the betas, and they just HAPPENED to land in the seed so that Jade coudl get it in the future.
All he was after was the MEOW book, everything else was just with it

they couldn't touch Snowman because she was number 8, and no one messes with the 8 ball while the other ones are still on the board.
m hm
I would have appreciated more chess motif stuff than we've seen so far seeing what Skaia looks like, but oh well, I guess chess fans are a small base to curry favor towards.
the deal that so little about Jade has been revealed yet keeps bothering me. It seems that the amount of kernelsprites released affects the condition of Skaia. Ever since the third one spawned it is represented as a whole chessboard planet.
Quote from: Slurpee;1753911yeah I noticed

Not ectoBiologist, but the trolls suggested that, after they saw him using it. What.
wait, what?
he changed his handle to stop getting trolled
he chose ectobiologist because gallowscalibrator had just called him a disgrace to the field of ectobiology
which she did because as it turns out he's actually an ectobiologist
Quote from: Slurpee;1753912another thing that took me too long was realizing all the felt members were moderately clever plays on billiard balls
I never really got how Lord English fit into all that, apart from "english" being a billiards term
It's all like... "look at all these guys with cool number based time powers and a billiard ball color scheme. Oh, and their boss doesn't have anything in common with them apart from having powers related to time (maybe)"
well it's a billiards term that refers to a move involving the cue ball (I think english is the cue ball) and has clock-related qualifiers
I just wasted my day finally reading up to the current content.
god damn this is genius
I feel kinda dumb not being able to grasp the baby's being sent back in time and all that, but I think i'll try to make sense of this tommorrow when my brain has less awesome to piece together

I still find some easter eggs and foreshadowing that Andrew (the author) left in the story line. It's fun to check the MSPA forums seeing what they caught.
Quote from: Slurpee;1754101well it's a billiards term that refers to a move involving the cue ball (I think english is the cue ball) and has clock-related qualifiers
Oh, he's the cue ball then? That makes a lot of sense in many ways. Still kind of sucks we never got to see him or what he does (same with a few of the felt like Matchsticks). I assume matchsticks could pause time or something because 11 looks like a pause button.
So it turns out Sassacre is mark twain, or at least inspired by him looks exactly like him
Quote from: THOR;1754120So it turns out Sassacre is mark twain, or at least inspired by him looks exactly like him
traced or pasted, neither way, that means great-grandpa (Sassacre) is actually Mark Twain? that would be awesome
Is Sassacre related in some way to Dad as well? He has very similar features like his nose-only face, though it might just be the way Andrew represents Average Joes. Taking in point that Dad is painfully normal after all. (http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002848)
THAT WAS THE BEST UPDATE EVER!!!!!!!

I love Cancer's reactions.

AH said
Quotewiil the trolls ever become really important? their a really cool idea and i love GC!
They are extremely important to the story, and will become more so.
on his formspring (http://www.formspring.me/andrewhussie)
QuoteNanna is a paradox clone of herself.
Grandpa is a paradox clone of himself.
Bro is a paradox clone of himself.
Mom is a paradox clone of herself.
John is a clone of Nanna and Grandpa's ghost slime mixed together. So is Jade.
Rose is a clone of Mom and Bro's ghost slime mixed together. So is Dave.
John and Jade are biologically related, in the same way siblings are. Though they are not literally siblings. We saw how they were "born".
Dave and Rose are the same way.
John is not related to Rose.
Dave is not related to Jade.
There is no evidence to suggest nanna, grandpa, mom, or bro are related to each other in any way. They are all clones of themselves, sent back in time to become themselves.
Paradox clones.
I found his explanation of the paradox clones and such, and scrambled this in paint.

Quote from: THOR;1754570John doesn't seem to have a very stable psyche. He has a lot of "goes crazy" moments.
Possible Spoiler: I have thought, going back in the playing card logic, that John might be able to defeat Jack in the future after all because
he is a JOKER. Think about it, the relation with harlequins, his unstable subconcious, his deal of making pranks.

this isn't important I just like it
we should have a codeword for when homestuck updates
like "hey guys, new homestuck!"
I like how the trolls have been used in the last few updates. Not too long of conversations, witty banter, and good character development.
I think the blind one is setting up to fuck over Dave like she did John. The "update" implied that, contrary to speculation, she really DID
intend for John and Jade to die. It wasn't just a harmless prank.
Quote from: Slurpee;1755746like "hey guys, new homestuck!"
Too obvious. How about "I WARNED YOU ABOUT UPDATES DOG! I TOLD YOU BRO! "
Every time I see that this thread has been updated that itself is a clue to at least check the site.
you all saw the sweet bro and hella jeff official movie (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/movies/SBAHJthemovie1.html) right?
His latest blog on his website says that he's pretty much finished the end of act, but can't upload it yet because comcast is being poop. That mailbox page is pretty much just a place holder.
glad I stayed up late.
Descend. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003840)
jesus christ
okay, so
here's what just happened:
dave was climbing up to the nest his kernelsprite built, presumably to break open the eggy thing, which was like his version of john's apple and rose's bottle, but his sprite, like, pecked him on the head, and he fell. dave was probably right in his initial plan to wait for it to hatch.
Bro cut the meteor (that was about to crush Dave) in half, to buy him some time. the rocket skateboard thing saved dave from falling to death
mom, dad, and granpa are still approaching Skaia on the ship
jack noir, who we previously saw kill the black queen, take her ring, and gain the upgrades supplied by john, rose, and dave's prototyping, and who carcinogeneticist basically said is probably the final boss, Wrecks. Shit. Up.
like, full on genocide of WV's united armies. I think he might have killed some of the minibosses with that crazy red shit he did I'm not entirely sure.
the babies are transported to their respective meteors
jack picks up the white king's staff
which is like
bad, but sorta predestined because black is supposed to win and trigger the descent of the veil
and so yeah the veil starts to descend
the draconian dignitary, who was diamonds droog in the trolls' session/midnight crew intermission, creates Bec, Jade's loveable hellbeast, and sends him off, which presumably was the purpose of stealing Rose's journals (the insane meowing was cryptographic genetic code for creating Bec. presumably the master plan is for Jade to prototype Bec, which, as the trolls have been saying from the get-go, will royally fuck everything up horribly and completely, because Bec is really really powerful and presumably Jack will receive Bec powers if/when Bec is prototyped)
anyway
jack obliterates Prospit and severs it from its moon (where John and Jade are), and I guess shows up on Dave's planet, and Bro totally fights him because he's awesome or something. I don't know this part didn't really make chronological sense to me. do the planets exist before their respective kid enters the medium? I thought Dave didn't enter until the bit coming up. we better not be seeing more of that abandoned timeline this shit is confusing enough already.
so the moon starts like fucking crashing towards the battlefield (which I can't remember but I think is Skaia), and Jade's dreamself wakes up John's dreamself right before collision
Jade's dreambot explodes irl, like we knew would happen from some of the troll conversations (I don't think it's completely clear whether hers or John's dreamselves survived the collision, but her conversation with adiosToreador certainly foreshadowed one of them dying, and I don't know what the point of Jade waking up John's dreamself would be if he just died, and the robot did blow up, so yeah)
the explosion from the dreambot sends real jade flying out the window of her tower, I guess.
the automated meteor defense system the trolls mentioned activates, and it's awesome
dave enters the medium or whatever. freaking finally.
the meteors start hitting
and finally we see Bec, presumably awaiting Jade's arrival.
I think
why is this shit taking so long to load
Edit; Watched it in a mirror, you got some stuff wrong Slurp.
Dave has already been in the medium for a while. The movie just want back in time a bit at the start to show how he entered because they skipped that before. Right after they showed how he entered the IMMEDIATELY jumped back to "current" time.
Picking up the kings staff was the exact action that started the reckoning.
I don't know why bro showed up either
Johns dream self did NOT die
Jade is NOT falling out of her window, her real self is okay
that's all I got
No, that was clearly Jade's real self falling.
E: I feel like the guardians are just arriving to the worlds the same way the kids are, by being transported into them since they're in the same buildings.
I can only assume bro just landed back onto his apartment before the egg hatched?
When I first saw it, I thought that Jack just went insane and started to kill everything on Skaia. I didn't realize that WV united such a large proportion of the soldiers together.
But to be honest, I don't that think Skaia is done being transformed yet. When John's prototype was added, it became a 3x3 chess board with two kings When Rose's was added, it became a normal chessboard. When Dave's was added, it became a planet with war on it. When Jade's prototype gets added, I'm pretty sure it'll change again.

I'm sure I have seen that Jack doll before...
Well this is sad
hohohoho, PM doesn't take shit from nobody
I didn't take PM for the type to just fucking decapitate a nigga
oh shit PM just summoned Jack and CD. With the green box!
god im starting to love jack, even if he did kill dream jade :(
Has it occurred to anyone that Jack should be part Future Dave now?
it has actually bothered me how he doesn't seem to show any resemblance
I think they only get the effects of one of the prototypes used. Like you don't see Nana in him because he's using the jester part. You don't see Jaspers in him because he's using the tentacle princess or whatever part. You don't see future dave in him because he's using the bird with the sword in him.
at first I thought the secondary prototyping doesn't factor in, but rose prototyped jasper before the eldritch princess, so now I'm thinking it's just the living bits that get excluded. has it shown any of jasper or nanna?
shut up polyhedron I hate you :(
God damn this comes up a lot
The enemies only take on aspects of sprites prototyped BEFORE they enter the medium. Nana and Dave both got prototyped AFTER entering the medium. Note that BOTH of roses prototypings are shown on enemies (cat and cthulhu princess) because she did both while still on earth.
Here is a visual guide for you
Key:
--------- = point they entered the medium
bold text = it was put into enemies
italic text = it didn't effect enemy sprites
JOHN
cut up jester with fake arm
-----------
nana
ROSE
Jasper in tux
Cthulhu Princess
-----------
DAVE
Bird with sword
-----------
Future dave
Jade
who the fuck knows
it's all so clear now
Okay guys, I finally just finished going through this entire Homestuck thing up until the latest update. I would never have heard about Homestuck if it were not for this thread, so I owe the Clock Crew a big favour now because Homestuck is the greatest thing that I have ever seen on the internet. I seriously doubt if I will ever again find something on the internet as awesome as this.

I thought the desert is supposed to be post-apocalyptic Earth, where they are somehow exiled to.

whats this about
just read it
no really, this shit is almost like a Lost webcomic, read it all plus it's awesome
to give a fair explanation: it tells about some kids that await for the beta of the most anticipated PC game ever which can alter the physical space of someone else. Unfortunately some strange shit starts to unfold when they start to play and they happen to enter the game world and a lot cool and strange stuff happens.
So far it's starting the 5th act which many are thinking it's already the climax but anything could happen now.
holy shit so that's what's in the box
god damn thats amazing
SHIT JUST GOT SO FUCKING REAL
Quote from: MentosClock;1758117Okay guys, I finally just finished going through this entire Homestuck thing up until the latest update. I would never have heard about Homestuck if it were not for this thread, so I owe the Clock Crew a big favour now because Homestuck is the greatest thing that I have ever seen on the internet. I seriously doubt if I will ever again find something on the internet as awesome as this.
*ahem*
new people are wandering in
now I feel like discussion of current events is spoilery
- John got the same rabbit 3 times for his birthday lol
- the weaponized bunny is holding variations of all of the weapons thus far allocated to one of the kids' strife specibus. I just thought that was cool.
- I can't remember if this has been brought up, but John has the bunnykind specibus (fff (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002307))
- Jade's letter might be the saddest thing to happen so far :(
have we met whoever jade's penpal is?
fuuuck

I don't think so, but when I first read it I thought it was Jade's grandpa for some reason.
Quote from: Slurpee;1758220have we met whoever jade's penpal is?
There are several theories: some say it could be gramps, a younger version of gramps that is aware of who Jade is, or adiosToreador before his world ended (though the last one doesn't have any eveidence at all)
that'd be super cute though
Quote from: Silly Putty Clock;1758218*ahem*
Oh yeah, I gotta read that still. I was planning to wait until Homestuck ends before reading Problem Sleuth, because I imagine that it would be confusing to be reading two mspaintadventures at the same time. Homestuck is getting confusing enough already, I don't need that confusion doubled! In retrospect, if I knew that Homestuck was going to be this long, I would have read Problem Sleuth first.
problem sleuth is really fucking long too though
and it's not clear when Homestuck is going to end. We are in a very climatic moment, but I dunno.
I'm kind of expecting a world of ruin scenario long before homestuck finishes.
that's to say we're gonna ostensibly be looking at a final boss type thing, but the kids are gonna fuck it up hard and there's gonna be a bit of a long haul afterward.
Quote from: Slurpee;1758284that's to say we're gonna ostensibly be looking at a final boss type thing, but the kids are gonna fuck it up hard and there's gonna be a bit of a long haul afterward.
I wonder how Rose will face the final boss, now that she blew up her first gate. John tried to get through the game without going through all the gates, and he certainly didn't get far. I don't know why Rose thinks she can do better.
I think Rose was just frustrated how everything seemed to have completed a loop on how an inevitable failure was coming, so she started to break the logic rules in the game.
(http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/01961_1.gif)
wut
The hammer with the Z on it is from Problem Sleuth btw
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/extras/ps000025.html
I never finished problem sleuth lol
That was a fan commission, actually. It had nothing to do with the main story.
I skimmed through Problem Sleuth, I might give it a real chance some other time
Based on the text color I think the mysterious "pen pal" is jades sprite
oh, man, good call.
shit that actually makes sense...
So AH just said in his Formspring that Homestuck might be around 7 acts. Sooooooo yeah, it still has a way to go
http://www.formspring.me/andrewhussie

if it ever ends

oh, hussie. =]
I bet nobody gets their new "super weapon" for at least 2 acts.
or maybe they get them soon, but they are not the most powerful. who knows.
Quote from: TequilaClock;1758400or maybe they get them soon, but they are not the most powerful. who knows.
Soon in this comic is 2 acts. Everything moves hella slow
Anyone else noticing that the black guys from Derse aren't really that bad? I mean, sure they want to destroy Skaia, and aside from Jack pretty much massacring nearly the entire fucking planet of prospit, which wasn't supposed to happen anyways, and which he did on his own accord really seeing the rest of them and what they do doesn't seem that terrible anyways
Derse is not evil, the guys from the Midnight Crew arrived and adapted there somehow and things started to shit up.
Derse and Prospit are just yin and yang that constantly battle. The war got unbalanced when Jack and his gang started to move.
also, THAT FUCKER JUST LEFT! WHAT

So is anyone of the clockcrew also on the mspaint forums suggesting new commands ?
No, at this point I didn't really think he was taking commands so much as telling a narrative while still using the old text adventure plot advancing mechanic.
There's a bigass suggestion forum for plot ideas which he picks stuff from.

Never been on the suggestions though.

A SENTENCE, FRAGMENTED

I stopped being interested in Homestuck right after act 4 started.
I'm still interested =)
That's fine.
It turns out Act 5 hasn't really started at all.
Quote from: Slurpee;1759138I'm still interested =)

Okay I'm up to par with you guys. This last act was kinda confusing, but I'm enjoying it.

the posters with troll Will Smith and the horribly long titles have me very amused
I was like "say, those are regular romantic comedies with horns and long titles. troll hitch, troll 50 first dates, and troll... fffffff... oh. serendipity."
and then I laughed because I can't believe ah actually foreshadowed (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003503) something so goddamn stupid.
wait. if they use titles like that, how come their program is simply called "Trollian"?
hahahaahaha holy shit I am laughing my ass here, it's the most ridiculously inconvenient modus I have ever seen.
Act 5! Yaaay!
I found this on the MSPA Forums. This is from some acts ago, but this just explained me so much about a scene.

Not sure if clowness translates through chatlog.
They will meet, if only to create amusing circumstances. Also he would be good at trolling John.

Well that answers my question.
hehe, gC is pretty likable
I think it's pretty obvious that Karkat is Troll John. Maybe some of the other trolls are also equivalent to the human heroes.
I suspect that Gamzee is Troll Dave, as both of them are pastiches of annoying subcultures (Dave is a hipster, Gamzee is a juggalo).
I don't know about Terezi yet. I think she might be Troll Jade, as both of them collect cute dolls and have pathetically nerdy interests (furry fandom for Jade, LARPing for Terezi). Also, both of them possess unusual sensory abilities.
^ but they are 12 trolls and just 4 kids. Unless there are 3 trolls for each
I think the trolls are more like taking one aspect of the children's multifaceted personalities and having it to an extreme degree. Ie; john likes clowns. One of the trolls is a clown. John is a programmer, one of the trolls is an epic protgrammer, ect.

This would make sense if Karkat wasn't already a PERFECT analogue for John.
I think my plan is to stop reading mspa for a while until I remember about it later and then read a whole bunch in one chunk.
Yeah I noticed it too. Karkat is a parallel of John, for sure.
Gamzee might be Dave, and Terezi might be Rose. Not sure though.
As far as it goes, I think that it's like this
John
Karkat
Gamzee
???
Rose
grimAuxiliatrix
apocalypseArisen
???
Dave
twinArmageddons
adiosToreador
???
Jade
Terezi
???
???
We still have to see other 5. But I speculate arsenicCatnip could be a furry and representing one of Jade's interests. caligulasAquarium seems to be kind of a planeteer about garbage. I am not sure if he or she could stand for Rose's compulsive disorder of organizing everything or Jade's deal with loving Earth.
ArsenicCatnip is definitely Jade. I think Gamzee is Dave because of his sleaziness and his language. It reminds me of Dave.
But the whole clown thing also makes sense. Maybe Trolls combine several aspects of the children's personalities in one.

As Thor mentioned, I also think that they represent a radical version of one of their interests and peeves.

I noticed.
Though, I do find it weird that only one of them so far has been by the direct will of the player. Nanna was an accident and the crow was Dream Jade's fault.
Crap, i never saw this coming...

Think about it, it's not clear how Jaspers the Cat died.
I'm calling that Jade won't end up using her grandfather in the kernelsprite. That "exceptions are extremely rare" bit screams of it if you ask me.
Who do you think the dark god summoned by the machine is? I bet it's Lord English.
And further, I bet lord english turns out to be the "real" final boss. The jack ruse was a... DISTACTION!
Lord English should look like Big Ben (as in the tower) except green and wearing a gay fancy and colorful CAIRO OVERCOAT.

In fact, I imagine that Jack Noir is after Lord English.
And I also got this theory
that Lord English is Cal. Thinking about it, it would make tons of sense.
It's interesting how so many things were never technically created in the game due to time paradoxes.
OH GOD YOU BETTER BE SCREWING WITH US AH ;_;
THIS IS WHY HE LIKED TO DREAM OH GOD
His dream self is dead, his lusus will die, Dave fucks with him and he will know he is going to die after the rift. Well damn.
EDIT: Also, someone just pointed out he is always looking up. Literally.
That's interesting.
Oh god, it's gonna be so sad when he loses his Lusus I just know it.

Horse dicks. Horse dicks everywhere.
the troll stuff is so blithe about the jumping around and not dwelling on specifics that nothing feels of consequence, even the characters, which is a shame because the troll stuff should be really cool and interesting but it kind of isn't.
Quote from: Slurpee;1766701the troll stuff is so blithe about the jumping around and not dwelling on specifics that nothing feels of consequence
I find the trolls pretty hilarious, but unfortunately, this is also very true. Hopefully, whatever he's in a hurry to start working on will make up for it.
I just found out arsenicCatnip's posting gimmick :33 is not just a mutant poogle face it is a reference to the atomic number of arsenic
this was not pointed out to me but I did discover it by other people talking about it and every time this sort of thing happens (whether it's something I figure out or something that is pointed out to me) I wonder how much else is going over my head
I really do not have a problem about the troll arc so far. Knowing Hussie, all of this could reveal a lot of shit in the future. Or whatever, this will be over in a week or so anyway.
I really liked the Manthro Chaps reference
hohoho, it turns out that AA was a ghost all along That would explain a few things, like the bicyclops not looking at her when she lifted it, sollux not being able to see her, and her having all these wierd powers, even by troll standards. but to be honest, I was expecting her to be a zombie or something, but this makes sense too
It wasn't shocking to me that she was dead, but the self-prototyping was interesting.
I dunno if it's because of the boring content or the way they type, but I often skim through the trolls' conversations.
Didn't one of the trolls specifically comment on how they're jealous they didn't think of self prototyping first when they saw Dave do it?
Quote from: dill weed;1767103Didn't one of the trolls specifically comment on how they're jealous they didn't think of self prototyping first when they saw Dave do it?
There was a conversation between aC and aA saying how she'll keep it a secret. I think they've kept the fact that she's what she is a secret to the rest of the trolls. That or she's referring to the red team, idk.
I get how her handle could still be Arachnid since scorpions fall under the class, but why is Scorpio's lusus a spider?
Quote from: dill weed;1767103Didn't one of the trolls specifically comment on how they're jealous they didn't think of self prototyping first when they saw Dave do it?
There was one where gC said that self prototyping is dumb.
Edit: She does say "1M SUR3 3V3RY ON3 OF US W1SH3S W3 THOUGHT OF FUTUR3 S3LF PROTOTYP1NG F1RST" but she's surely being sarcastic.
He could have also just been referring to the fact that he personally was jealous of not thinking about self-prototyping.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1767156He could have also just been referring to the fact that he personally was jealous of not thinking about self-prototyping.
gC is a girl.
Oh I thought it was CG who said that.
Nah
I'm still waiting for hussie to explain why her lusus would be a spider.
It's an arachnid. It has more to do with her handle than her sign. Besides that, Pounce de Leon is not a lion, Terezi has a dragon, and Karkat's lusus only vaguely looks like a crab and is more of just a monster. The zodiac theme isn't really strict.
Although with Terezi there are the "draconian" and "scales" puns, but other than that it doesn't relate to Libra. I can't think of any animal that would.
There sure is a lot of troll slash and pron out there considering they can't even breed, they just put their seed into a DNA soup that the queen births or something
BUT THEY ARE BLATANTLY IN LOVE AND

It seems that she's an elitist, and I'm guessing brown blood is low on the echelon.

Wow I hadn't noticed that.Yet again everything is opposite in Alternia
Oh for fuck's sake, Hussie, you just love the shipping deal, ight?
I thought it was just supposed to cement him as a wholly disturbed character, what with the masochism and this and all.
Well it counts as some kind of necrophillia, I guess.

so that guys a musclefur, has a fetish for following the caste system, has a fetish for breaking the caste system, and on top of it all is a robosexual?
Quote from: dill weed;1768317so that guys a musclefur, has a fetish for following the caste system, has a fetish for breaking the caste system, and on top of it all is a robosexual?
also has a fetish for breaking bows, still drinks the milk of his guardian, forces his guardian to be a butler, abuses his guardian, has massive anger problems, so much so that he builds robots just to destroy them and accidentally falls in love with a dead girl so I suppose technically he is a necrophiliac.
dude has mega problems
Quote from: BinaryClock;1768348abuses his guardian
Naw he's just really STRONG.
But all that other stuff, yeah.
I sorta got his fetish for the caste system as masochism, he wanted zamgee to treat him like dirt after all.
Well, on the bright side he did build Jade's dreambot.
AURTHOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUR!
Quote from: Cowboy Bebop;1768416Well, on the bright side he did build Jade's dreambot.

I mean, they sure are similar, but it wasn't his grandpa or something?

It's possible but unlikely.
Quote from: TequilaClock;1768438AURTHOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUR!

I think he did. His robots are of an almost identical design to the dreambot. Also, ROBO SLAP! looks an awful lot like foreshadowing to me. I suspect time travel will come into play to explain this.
I bet arsenicCatnip's cave is under that crushed spider.
I'm pretty sure Terezi said Nepeta doesn't live near Equius
Oh yeah right. Fuck, like the one time I throw out a theory it gets slapped down immediately ffff

oh hey you posted while I was tracking it down
FUCK YOU
It's weird how we already knew that the characters passed through accidents, but the more we know of them, the more tragic everything seems.
Terezi is blind
Vrizka lost seven eyes and an arm
Tavros is a capper (though it was more of Vriska's fault)
Sollux is also blind
One of Equius's only reasons to not be enraged is dead
all of that plus the death of lusus, destruction of their planet and inevitable death
That game really fucked them up
Quote from: TequilaClock;1768608Sollux is also blind
He's not blind (yet). In fact, he has VISION TWOFOLD.
Quote from: Scandalous Member;1768610He's not blind (yet). In fact, he has VISION TWOFOLD.
I thought he was blind while the trolls were talking with the chums
oh jeez D:
This is like fucking Shakespeare
sollux is kind of an emotional trainwreck
I don't think he's blind though
and apparently vriska had him kill aradia, who was apparently his girlfriend
It sounds like Aradia is talking to the same things that Rose was, which idno if that's a good thing or not.
I may be wrong about that but that's what I gather when she says she hears voices like Rose was.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1768688It sounds like Aradia is talking to the same things that Rose was, which idno if that's a good thing or not.
I may be wrong about that but that's what I gather when she says she hears voices like Rose was.
well
rose
attributes the voices to (presumably lovecraftian) gods (which
davesprite later acknowledges the existence and astuteness of), while aradia reportedly
hears the voices of the dead and is acting on instructions from her ancestors (also she can apparently summon the dead since she just sicced them on vriska which I take to mean she has a fairly familiar relationship with The Dead)
also rose's voices instructed her to do something that seemingly proved pointless, because dave duplicated the gene journals, while aradia's voices seem to have
fairly comprehensive foreknowledge and don't seem to be as likely to make missteps like that.
but, yeah, I, too, get the sense that whatever it is on whose behalf aradia's been acting since her death is either the same as whatever told rose to destroy the journals, or at least the same general kind of thing.
my guess is that their involvement is... I don't want to say a subversion of the game, but working toward some unnamed greater purpose vis a vis wtf the game is actually about.
all the characters in the know have been kind of reticent about that, and I doubt karkat's revelation to john about the predestination paradorks is all there is to it
sollux looks like he has dissociative identity disorder, probably surfacing when he eats the mind honey (which he may be abusing?) anyway eating the mind honey and going batshit has caused him to kill both his girlfriend and his lusus so maybe he should avoid it all together hmmmm?
also sollux can hear the dead like aradia so that is probably a bit disconcerting too.
trolls have serious problems man
also sollux probably fell asleep when he did because aradia woke up his dreamself and they did stuff that will happen or has happen or whenever we are this is confusing
also sollux (twinArmageddons) and Aradia (apocalypseArisen) have similar handles and maybe we should have noticed that earlier
Aradia is specifically engineered to be the saddest thing. :(
Well shit, the white text isn't Lord English, he is... some guy like Bec...
(http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/02253.gif)
I just got it, lord english is the pool cue.
QuoteScratch is Alternia's FIRST GUARDIAN. Every planet destined for intelligent life has such an entity meant to protect it, and facilitate the planet's ultimate purpose. A first guardian is typically almost as old as the planet itself, and each has a unique, circuitous origin through the knots of paradox space. They can be born into a great diversity of forms, though they all share a common, especially potent genetic sequence. The code grants them near omnipotence, and when merged with a host of great intelligence, near omniscience as well.
I really don't want Bec to be a bad guy =(
Ok so I got this theory on the MSPA forums:
QuoteHis job is to pave the way for the arrival of his master, who will be summoned upon the termination of the universe.
I can imagine
Doc Scratch assassinating
Snowman to get the work done, but if the Midnight Crew (or
Draconian Dignitary at the very least) is interested enough to create Bec it could interefer in the assassination. Judging by the white revolver DS got on the office, he could attempt to execute
Snowman with it and Bec could catch the bullet. That seems to be one of Bec abilities at least.

It's probably a countdown to when Andrew is leaving for a week.

I think Vriska already got a lot of negative karma but just takes it lightly.
homestuck is starting to turn into a soap opera.
gonna assume this is vriska's theme (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/spiders-claw-bonus).
it's awesome.
Weird thing is as far as I remember there's been no sound in this arc at all.
Also, I think whoever made that album might be a fan of PW because one is called
"The Lemonsnout Turnabout".

I don't think anybody is supposed to completely get it yet, but the way I see it is that the robot body cT built for Aradia did work out according to his plans, just not before she ripped out her heart and beat it (beating heart hoho) against an alchemiter.
Maybe the chip isn't there.

IT'S JUST A WEEK DUDE CALM DOWN BRO.
Well, the troll arc was supposed to end quite a while ago, hopefully the real act will start when the counter hits 00:00:00:00 and Andrew leaves.
Maybe in or something I dunno.
The site will go down for the longest time it's ever been down when the counter hits zero.
Equius is probably the best character ever.
HE IS STRONG.
What's so great about him?
He's a badass.
AND HE'S REALLY FUNNY, IN AN AWKWARD AND CREEPY WAY.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1770357What's so great about him?
Every time he appears it is hilarious in the weirdest way. I like how the character defies expectations. Before this act, I would have had no idea that I would ever enjoy reading about the exploits of an elitist caste fetishist. I like how the author is able to combine some of the most annoying traits ever, but somehow make the character entertaining instead of annoying. It's pretty great.
my favorite thing about equius is his knee-high black socks

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1772326Does the diamond portion represent friendships or something?
Yes, it's the most obvious explanation.
I'm expecting a "club" wall with people who hate each other and a "spade" wall with people who have killed and/or maimed each other (or vice versa)
So turns out Nepeta wants Karkats bone bulge. There was never even a hint of that one
based on recent update, I'm now thinking club and spade represent the person you hate the most, and the person you pity the most. But it's like a pity-hate, where you want them to die but you still pity them so you don't really want them to die so much
but to trolls hating somebody is almost the same as loving them. That's why the robot girl kissed the strong guy. Because she hated him so much she loved him
i think
EDIT: Karkats blood isn't rainbow colored, it's MYSTERY colored. AH said on the forums it's a placeholder because we aren't supposed to know yet

:cool:
...a
gray area.
Really, this caste system goes on the visible spectrum association of color rather than the primary color association.
Was sort of hoping his blood was ultraviolet
Quote from: BinaryClock;1772668Was sort of hoping his blood was ultraviolet
That'd be kinda cool, if he had glowing blood.
Quote from: hussieYou guys are probably just echoing the debates on caste issues which have busied Alternian academics for centuries.
If the scale is cyclical, then the lowest is really also highest, right? That sort of talk is probably heresy to their contemporary civilization. But that basic idea is surely the seed for the big Alternian civil rights movement (that unfortunately won't get to happen due to armageddon). They're all one big circle. A big happy family. Then everybody hate-hugs.
Understanding Karkat's place on the scale is pretty simple. First, regardless of "how red" he is, he's red and red = bad unequivocally. Blue bloods don't care that the worst blood is only one pixel away from the best. This is the nature of racism. It's irrational.
But even if that weren't the case, and his color was different entirely, like black... What do we know about caste systems on Earth? They're basically constructions of prejudice. The higher-ups are not ones to welcome people who aren't exactly like them into the fold, pretty much by definition. In a caste system, if you're low on the totem pole, you're dirt. If you're off the pole completely, you're still dirt.
god i love that guy

And it seems that it explains a tiny bit about the importance of the frogs in this story.

Quote from: Scandalous Member;1773855ITT: People following theories that have already been disproved by Andrew's own words.
Look, the wardrobifier, hologram computer, and clouds are very Jade-ish. Thinking about it, I don't think she's even close to being an exact copy, but I think he borrowed some traits.
Though wasn't it explicitly stated earlier on that each player has a special role and only four of those were repeated in the human session? It makes sense then that four of the trolls would have inexplicable similarities to the humans in interests and abilities, if not in personalities, corresponding to their respective "classes"(RPG terminology seems convenient). So it's not that Karkat is actually "troll John" or that Kanaya is "troll Jade", but that they share classes.
EDIT: Also I think a character will eventually make the :? face as a gag referring to the convo between GA and CC.

Quote from: Scandalous Member;1773943I don't have to keep up, because I was right all along. You're the one catching up. :cool:
um I'm pretty sure you didn't mention anything about classes
That doesn't mean I was wrong.
Quote from: Cowboy Bebop;1773921Though wasn't it explicitly stated earlier on that each player has a special role and only four of those were repeated in the human session? It makes sense then that four of the trolls would have inexplicable similarities to the humans in interests and abilities, if not in personalities, corresponding to their respective "classes"(RPG terminology seems convenient). So it's not that Karkat is actually "troll John" or that Kanaya is "troll Jade", but that they share classes.
Actually I meet need catching up or something because upon a second reading you're still not making sense.
Each player has a title (Heir of Breath, Seer of Time, Knight of Time, Witch of Space, Knight of Blood, Maid of Time), if that's what you mean, but they don't seem to have to do with the kids' or the trolls' personality or appearance, and so far none of them have shared a title. If that's not it, you need to elaborate. The only actual classes mentioned were part of the Flarp game.
Edit: Actually, forget it. I don't want to look any more into this shit. Andrew likes to make callbacks, and that probably explains why the trolls have similarities to the kids, but the trolls are their own characters, and that's that, for now. Once you start over-analyzing and looking for symbolism, the comic usually stops being fun. If there are any more connections that exist, Andrew will probably explain them in time.

You would drink heavily from its multicolored well, and the hemospectrum would be your wine list preceding the great feast of passion.
Ehehehehehe
Could just be an unfertilized ovum or something.
I hope that Karkat will talk to her and say something like "YEAH I SAW THE MOVIE ADAPTION OF THAT, IT WAS PRETTY GOOD".
K seriously am getting sick of the trolls now I just don't care.
god my troll is the best suck it dry cA yeeeeeeeeeeah
Kickass royal blood.
genocidal megalomaniac badass
He shows surprising weakness at the end of their conversation, it actually seemed like a real emotion which these chats have always seemed to lack in some way as each of them always seems to be putting up a facade.
he kinda reminds me of dave with the way he types, not the accent, but the style
yeah this should end asap now. I imagine once all the twelve trolls are revealed and named it should get over soon.
Anyone else wanna call a Planet of the Apes on this story?
whoah

Maybe that's why Karkat constantly berates the kids for screwing up, because the trolls followed Rose's advice and lost.

Of course. Rose's Pesterchum name is TentacleTherapist. Kanaya already knows that TentacleTherapist wrote the guide.

I have read too much shit from worse scum today, so go ahead.
Vriska is such a tsundere _poogle_
SOMETIMES I AM THE MOST WORST.
I don't think the troll cosplayers are that bad, apart from that aC is way too fat. They did a pretty good job of looking like their characters, and I assume that's the goal of cosplaying. The exile cosplayers are fucking BAD though. Goddamn.
Yeah, actually I liked the trolls too. I am on the otaku side of the scale though, so I couldn't imagine my opinion on cosplaying being the norm.
It's not just weeaboo who cosplay. There are plenty of people who cosplay as western fiction characters. Homestuck is the obvious example, but tons of people dress up as comic book characters (batman, captain america, doom, ect), wargame characters (warhammer 40k), video game characters, science fiction characters (trekkies, star wars), and horror movie characters (Frankenstein, wolfman). Dressing up as fictional characters is a pretty widespread phenomenon amongst hardcore fans.
There is no end to the evil of stairs.

she's pretty awesome
maybe it's just because she's the scorpio, but I find something really appealing about her zeal. (it sure was pretty of her?) she reminds me of Brucie from GTA4, or I guess like a bipolar Marlene Dietrich.
she is a classic sociopath
http://www.sociopathicstyle.com/traits/classic.htm
I think AH just went through the checklist of sociopath traits and made and effort to have a scene displaying her do each one.
Quote from: Slurpee;1774795I don't know what tsundere means
It means acting like a bitch to somebody because she secretly has a crush on the person and wants his dick. It's usually a trait displayed by a girl who is generally regarded as a bitch by others, but in reality she's just shy and uses aggressiveness as a defense mechanism.
Think Helga from Hey Arnold.
AG isn't Tsendere, she legitimately cruel and spiteful. It is not a pretense for anything.
I don't know but I want Tavros to do something awesome like entering into fiesta rage mode or something and even being able to walk
Quote from: TequilaClock;1774801I don't know but I want Tavros to do something awesome like entering into fiesta rage mode or something and even being able to walk
Well he does get robot legs.
Too many characters.
it seems like Tavros is gonna snap in some respect, even though it doesn't really seem to be in his character, or maybe kanaya will step in (she's vriska's host player, right?), even though antagonizing aG is the opposite of her plans, but at this point I've given up on interpreting any of AH's telegraphs.
the only thing I'm expecting is that whatever the next few panels are, they're not gonna be something I anticipated.
Quote from: dill weed;1774799AG isn't Tsendere, she legitimately cruel and spiteful. It is not a pretense for anything.
The way I see it, when she was about to talk to Kanaya she refered to her as her ""meddley meddler meddlefriend" and a "lousy st8pid godd8mn supportive fri8nd." That suggests to me that she really believes she's her friend but the tsun is making her hide it behind a veil of spitefulness. With Tavros, she specifically states in that conversation that, "That way you 8ecome stronger along the way and you are 8etter prepared for whatever's next. "
Maybe she just conflicted because she hate/loves someone who's so weak, and she can't stand that.
God that is getting awfully fanshippy of me though. Let's just call this a theory. You're probably right, but you never know after the whole aA/cT thing.

I think vriska feels guilty about a lot of stuff and doesn't know how to deal with it because she's emotionally immature and a huge bitch but I don't think she's a sociopath.
she's manipulative and has poor impulse control and she repeats her mistakes, and she's cruel, and has an addiction, but when gA gets under her skin, it doesn't seem to be resentment at being outmaneuvered like you'd expect from ASPD, but more like she's not emotionally equipped to deal with somebody who's genuinely well-meaning.
she wants people to be mad at her, because in her mind that helps make things all squarsies, which is what she really wants. that's why she wanted equius to build the robot body for aradia, why she wanted that whole plan going wrong to be aradia's revenge for killing her, and probably why she's provoking tavros right now.
seriously reread her conversation with aradia postmortem (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004176). it's pretty telling imho.

Either way, I don't think Tavros is gonna snap because he's still the same when he tried to troll the kids. He was still just too nice to do it properly.

Well, Tinkerbell wasn't the nicest person in the original book, she once tried to poison Wendy because Peter was falling in love with her.
The Tinkerbell connection also makes sense in that she gave him the means to fly.
I don't get why he reversed Vriska's sprite for this though.

shipping is a name for when nerds fantasize about potential romantic connections between some of the characters, animals, objects, or people (as distinct from characters) that they're fans of.
it's not as unusual as it sounds (your mom probably shipped ross and rachel) but people start thinking of things almost exclusively in terms of shipping, and it goes to some really weird places.
Basically, it's the reason that Yaoi fangirls exist.
Or most any hentai based of real characters, honestly.

It's not so difficult to understand that it needs a summary, it's just unnecessary and completely uninteresting.
Edit: Okay, so maybe it's not unnecessary, because some readers still might not get the terms and the use of suits that was thrown around earlier, but it's still mostly unnecessary because pretty much the exact same stuff was already on the MSPA wiki. It was boring, and now it's even more boring.
it kind of explains why the trolls are so goddamned neurotic while their human counterparts are comparatively personable and understanding with each other.
also it'll probably factor in to why the trolls choose to interact with the kids the way they do and how their meddling affects the kids' session.
but yeah hopefully now that hussie explained it it's kind of out of his system and we don't have to dwell on it anymore
Yeah.
But why did he make so many troll kids fuckk
Quote from: Bulba;1776388But why did he make so many troll kids fuckk
Because there are twelve signs in the zodiac.

k
Quote from: Bulba;1776388But why did he make so many troll kids fuckk
read the formspring, Hussie pretty much said that he made so many trolls just so that he would be able to explore more conflict and potential romance that wouldn't be possible with such a small group as 4 kids without leading to dead ends and a lot of awkward situations.
With a bunch of kids everything can be more dynamic.
I hope in the next update he explains how troll friendship (♦conciliatory♣) works, because it's been obvious how the romance works for a while now and it's just a waste of everybodies' time explaining that at this point.
troll friendship is a disease, something not looked upon by trolls
unless you're gamzee, then it's a mIrAcLe
I always knew Vriska was going to end up being a complete crazy person.

So hold on, back to the plot at hand, didn't Vriska just try to use her powers to rape Tavros? Or date rape? Or something like that? Mind control's got to be some kind of rape.
QuoteThey would think we were all pretty stupid for not getting it. And they would be right.
This has me convinced that he's doing this because the MSPA forum goers are extremely thick.
I would just leave them in the dark.

Not rape but more like fulfilling her fucking crazy bitch fantasies. She gets off on manipulating him, and probably likes/admires? him in some way and hates herself for it.

hussie said in her crazy fucked up head she was trying to woo him
and then when it failed she tried to force it with mind control but you can see she kind of just abandons that immediately.
Also what is Kanaya all lesbo for Vriska? OR is she upset she helped her hurt Tavros? Or what?
Quote from: Bulba;1776591Also what is Kanaya all lesbo for Vriska?
Yes.
Quote from: Kombucha;1776592Yes.
i think what they said is that her job was moderating those two, which to trolls feel that it's a big part to them, they feel that the moderation is romantic to them or something idunno bluh
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1776618i think what they said is that her job was moderating those two, which to trolls feel that it's a big part to them, they feel that the moderation is romantic to them or something idunno bluh
Yeah I don't think they are lezzies, I think Kanaya just felt betrayed by someone who she considered her responsibility/friend.
Also I thought trolls hated emotions, everything the trolls are going seems to be highly emotional. Is it because they are kids? Also, if all of the adults are off expanding the troll space empire, wouldn't they not actually become extinct because of the meteors?
not sure of the veracity, but I don't know why anybody would fake something like this:
there's a chatlog that got posted on something awful and facepunch where ah flatly told somebody called abortedslunk that kanaya's gay for vriska
Quote[8/9/2010 10:52:07 AM] Andrew Hussie: yes
[8/9/2010 10:52:09 AM] Andrew Hussie: also
[8/9/2010 10:52:18 AM] Andrew Hussie: rainbow drinker = code for homosexual
[8/9/2010 10:52:25 AM] abortedSlunk: oh my god
[8/9/2010 10:52:29 AM] Andrew Hussie: which i realized after the fact
which I'm assuming means flushed/she's got her mating fondness all screwed up just like us irl gays because otherwise I don't quite understand why it would even be a thing.
it does kind of cast a different light on things, though. previously I thought she was cajoling vriska along because she was just goal-oriented and vriska was to play an important role, but this raises the possibility that she just likes her.
the rainbow drinker thing also makes the parallels between her romance novels and twilight funnier in retrospect, considering stephanie meyer's chaste sensibilities
QuoteLook at this mess. All this blood and sunlight is stirring bright feelings within. You often fantasize about being a true rainbow drinker from your literature. It would be a life of darting between the shadows, of persecution and being misunderstood. And of ROMANCE. You would drink heavily from its multicolored well, and the hemospectrum would be your wine list preceding the great feast of passion.
now instead of mormon abstinence porn, it suddenly reads like a saucy lesbian romance yarn.
Maybe Kanaya can fan enemies with juicy pages from her romance novels, causing their emotions levels to rise.
Haha okay I kind of like this.

So I saw that gif frame by frame and saw that Kanaya and Vriska share a MOIRALLEGIENCE(Diamonds), our Buddy Holly and Vriska are KISMESIS(spades), with Kanaya as their auspistice(clubs). Tavros and Vriska also switch between matesprits(hearts) and kismesis(spades).

You should know after the last bunch of boring pages. /condescending
Unless you didn't read them because they were boring, which is understandable.
Kanaya is Vriska's moirail, meaning she keeps an eye on Vriska to make sure she's doing the right thing. The same is true of cC to cA.
Kanaya also happens to secretly love Vriska, and cA loves cC.
Vriska and Tavros are in a love/hate relationship and Kanaya tries to mediate to keep it from going sour.
Vriska and cA hate each other (even though cA asked her to build a doomsday device for him and she agreed) and Kanaya also mediates between them.

either that whale just jumped 1000ft into the air or it hides in the clouds.

huh, im having second thoughts about if cA actually killed tC's lusus after seeing it in action
He killed someone's lusus, that's (almost) for sure.
Also,
DID YOU KNOW: Peixes in Portuguese means fish.
Quote from: DiscoBallClock;1777344He killed someone's lusus, that's (almost) for sure.
If it is, it's not any of the twelve trolls', it would be the lusus of just some random shmuck (like Marlin said) who has not been seen and will probably never be seen.

Quote from: Slurpee;1778721what part of made for each other did you not understand
Well according to this she doesn't share his feelings. Then again it shows Tavros feeling flushed for Vriska when we actually haven't seen that happen, at least not without her forcing him to feel that way.
I must've missed that because I'm dumb and blind. The whole moirail thing got me for a while. Carry on.
And the gif too. It made me think Feferi didn't correspond.

QuoteIf she were to raise it above a whisper, trolls would begin dying. First, the lesser bloods, those more psychically susceptible.

Geez
If she pulled out a Piclownjew...
The universe would end.
sounds like foreshadowing to explain how the trolls could go extinct even though they're a space empire to me.

sums up good
But sollux is shown to be alive in the future when the trolls start harassing the kids. Remember the whole "f11" debacle? This is impossible.
I'd suggest that the whole Troll thing happened before the kids' events, but that's impossible too since one of the trolls read Rose's walkthrough.
There is no reasonable explanation yeah. Unless the Sollux we see is a fake or something.

Well, the trolls do apparently have time-traveling internet access. I don't know if they had it all along or what, but I suppose it's possible that that's how she read the guide. Or maybe they find a way to resurrect Sollux. We know that time travel is possible and it can change the timeline in this setting. Maybe they alter it to save Sollux like Dave did for John.

QuoteHahaha. My regards to Troll Andrew. Regardless, for everyone person who dislikes how long the Hivebent arc has been going on, I'd say there's three of us who like what you've done with it. It's engaging and cool to read. OH CRAP NEED A QUESTION howru?
You know, there has been some buzzin' about it and what not, but I think the truth is it was never actually that controversial.
I've sampled reactions to it all over the place, and it always stuck me as quite a small pocket of the overall audience that ever had any dissatisfaction with it. The same was also true at the beginning of Homestuck. It was a very different thing, and a few people here and there got really restless about it, and swore up and down that MSPA had crested with Problem Sleuth. And of course these sentiments were not in the least bit vindicated in the long run, once we stopped being up so close and personal with the tree of Act 1, and got a little distance from the forest that is HS. I've regarded the vocal minority's present dissatisfaction as the exact same thing. It hasn't deterred me in the least, and even though the recent "AH trolls the fans" thing seems like a strong rebuke of this dissent, it's really very mild one, if one at all. It is meant as playful and humorous.
Now on the FLIPSIDE of this, there is significant group of people that really liked the change in direction this arc presented. In fact, rather than functioning as a drag on the readership's interest, I have observed the opposite. The troll stuff has been like pouring rocket fuel on the fandom. Daily traffic has only gone UP since it started. More people than ever seem to be energetically buzzing about what's going on, debating the merits of the characters and the nature of the alien world, drawing more fan art than I could ever possibly keep track of, creating troll personas and stuff like that. These are not the typical results of making a mistake in a story's direction.
On the subject of, "Was the troll arc, and to some extent the existence of the trolls altogether, really an elaborate set up as a long con to troll the readers?"
Yes and no. There is a little truth to it, in the sense that creating alien kid characters who were both internet trolls, AND literal trolls could very well have been a kind of racial avatarization of my own semi-trolling tendencies as an author, which had been on display well before their appearance. Psyche-outs, cagey self referential stuff and the like, it's all a little spunky, and I remain aware of this, and this stuff does fall into a certain class of trolling. Totally granted.
But all that became much more tangible with the introduction of the trolls. Everything about the trolls was always at least a little antagonizing with varying degrees of playfulness, both to the other characters, and to the reader as well. Their text is a bit difficult to parse (Not impossible! Just enough to make you aware of additional reading effort.) They are all a little ornery, and as it turns out, excessively emotional. Their role in the plot is one of bumbling sabotage and interference with the protagonists. And finally, in maybe the most trollish display yet, their entire introduction through a "detour arc" clearly is a bit agitating to anyone eager to see some of these cliffhangers resolved. It's entirely in the spirit of the indentation they have already made on the story. The reader can either fight it (trolls win!) or roll with it and embrace it on the terms it's presented. (Trolls still win.)
And even within the arc, there are numerous explorations of the trolling theme, like addressing topics that are sure to get people worked up. Examining topics like juggalos, furry fetish porn, shipping, and intricate studies on sci-fi romance, ultimately spiraling into soap opera plot dynamics and character interactions, heavy with conversational drama and teenage histrionics. It's all fuel for getting readers riled up a bit, and if you read it and get this itchy, agitated feeling in the back of your mind, that sensation is called "being trolled".
SORT OF.
None of this should be taken literally as a head-on attempt to troll the reader. It's just not that black and white. The purpose here is still entertainment, and humor, and advancing the plot in ways that have not become clear yet. I think in working on the troll stuff I have learned a little about my own policy toward satire. It's never absolute. Everything I mock is always embraced in some way. The juggalo character, Gamzee, is a good example of this. When he was introduced as a juggalo, people could see the writing on the wall. Here we go, time to do the juggalo shtick and laugh at how ridiculous juggalos are and their weird trashy culture and everything. And we did do that, to an extent! But after the initial !?! moment of revealing a juggalo and getting all hot and bothered about it, that material actually began to be incorporated at face value. It was folded into his character profile, and he turned out to be a pretty lovable guy who likes clowns and a particular beverage, and embraces the memetic affiliation juggalos have with miracles as a form of spirituality. In no way is the character a referendum on how ridiculous and lame juggalos are anymore, or how much we should all think ICP sucks. In fact, in a weird way, he starts to embody a CELEBRATION of those elements. Which to be honest, I think is a pretty good way to handle satire. The same is true, in varying degrees, of the inclusion of fandoms' zeal for shipping (Nepeta), weird horse porn (Equius), LARPing, delving into highly emotional, overwrought romantic intrigue, and so on. All of it is handled in a tongue in cheek manner, as satirical fodder, BUT ALSO played totally straight in some respects, as raw material to define the characters and build the story in a way that takes the elements at face value. With MSPA I am always on the lookout for raw material to manipulate in esoteric ways, and its usually garnered through satire. But then I ride that material pretty hard, and before you even know what's going on, it's not satirical anymore! Ask yourself this: at what point did John's love of Con Air cease to be a mockery of the film, and became more of a SHRINE to it? Hard to say.
That doesn't mean we lose sight of the fact that this stuff is ridiculous. It's still plenty ridiculous. The juggalo movement still strikes me as awfully silly, and so does overzealous shipping. The thing is, we can mock stuff and that's fine. It doesn't mean that stuff demands excessive scorn, or can't be treated as a legitimate topic to roll with in a story. So I think drawing your own horse porn is pretty weird. But who am I to say that's REALLY so terrible? I'm not better than anybody. I'll poke fun at it for a while, but then I'll just roll with horse dicks with a straight face for a while too. Maybe have a beer with them. Turns out they're a good bunch of dicks when you get to know 'em!
And pretty clearly, all of this is followed through with acute self-awareness, which is probably just a kind of handicap I have to live with. I just can't help but be aware of everything I do and all the reasons I'm doing them and apply intense scrutiny to those reasons, and it's very hard for me to feign obliviousness. I guess I'm not that interested in trying. As such, MSPA has always been a pretty meta thing, and from time to time we'll blur into things like troll Andrew. I try to keep it fun. Personally, I find it funny. Spiking Cal is probably one of my favorite pages at this point.
Booyeah.
Oh yeah, also the wolf. I like the wolf page.
Aaaaaaaah.
kind of had a general sense of this already but it's cool that he committed it to writing
both for clarity and the intuition-impaired.
I really liked his stuff about the juggalos and horse fetish thing. Reminds me of a friend from my game design team, in which I randomly discovered he was a furry after looking at the content of his USB, still guy's pretty rad. I think all the weird shit we do does not have to be revealed under the sun everytime. To think of it this way, I don't know how some people would react if they saw raw incomplete flash movies regarding random objects that had clocks for faces in my USB saying odd crap.
problem with society or what not
tl;dr: yeah i agree
also in before "lawl u were da 1 with da furry pr0nz"
or "itt tequilaclock does not admit he is a furry while I use this avatar of a half naked/nazi woman" whatevs
How does AH have the capacity to create such good stuff when so much of the internet is filled with such crap?
Does he just care a lot? Or do us clocks here just have a sufficient amount of personal oddities that we can appreciate what he does? I think anyone can agree that people posting on these forums well past the age of 14 are a little different from most.

Well maybe I should just speak for myself, I hold the stuff AH makes in fairly high regard, being that it is a webcomic. I'm basically just saying that I really appreciate MSPA and being able to go there every day knowing I can see something funny or interesting.

if it's about the whole romantic crap I found all of it to be pretty funny. one thing many webcomics do is to offer fanservice, others ignore as hard as possible their fans, yet others try to please everybody.
What Andrew did was kind of combining all three: Looking at the suggestions, tell some fans to fuck off about the romance while going too radical on it.

Dream Equius is cute.
every time I see aradia, it just gets more depressing. this kinda adds to it
Equius looks pretty in pink

:siren: vriska gets her eyes back :siren:
Quote from: Slurpee;1780322:siren: vriska gets her eyes back :siren:
I came back here just to say "hey I just noticed it's the first time we see Vriska's naked hepta-eye."
I feel like reading way too much into something
so let's talk weird continuity shit and dream shoes.
except for the obvious exceptions of sollux and aradia, all of the trolls' dreamselves have shoes that match their color (font and shirt, not blood), save vriska and terezi, who're wearing matching red shoes with white soles.
I bring this up for two reasons
one is that tavros... and I just noticed he wears sandals with socks hahahaha, but anyway dream tavros is wearing brown shoes, which is cool because it's yet another time when homestuck's continuitial integrity borders on eerie- he was wearing brown shoes the first time we saw a hint of him, 567 panels ago (http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003837). holy shit mspa is turning me into a fucking sperglord
the other reason is that vriska and terezi have, to put it lightly, a bit of a history together, and now I'm irrationally stoked, because this might mean we'll get to see the scourge sisters working together.
we've gotten hints about their past in chatlogs, and we've seen vriska pull some real psycho shit and terezi dispense serious Justice, but we've never actually seen them acting together as Team Scourge. just one panel of vriska and terezi wrecking shit up with their crazy manipulation stuff.

edit: oh it's just a forum joke (http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?30732-MSPA-Fanart-17-4-13-Drawingopolis/page80) =(
edit2: also don't page through that thread too much. woo daisy!
This has nothing to do with anything, but I told you guys Feferi has no flushed feelings for Eridan. I think what AH meant with "made for each other" was that they are meant to be moirails, nothing else.
I could be wrong though. Who knows, maybe she'll come around.
yeah I meant to backpedal on that earlier
because I was being facetious when I posted that
because I didn't really have a grasp on troll romance at all
because it's weird and confusing and I'm ADHD as fuck
but having put some actual thought into it
what we saw here:
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004303
might be, as some suspected, canon
it accurately depicted the causation in the dissolution of kanaya auspiticing for vriska and tavros according to word of god, and accurately foretold the dissolution of feferi and eridan's moirallegience and the reasons for it according to the chatlogs.
presumably we're going to see some interaction between vriska and eridan that fits the predicted mould.
and then I'm not sure what happens with the loop
it seems likely that eridan and feferi's moirallegience would reform, but that seems to imply kanaya once again auspiticing for vriska and tavros, which is a little harder to swallow. I'd've thought that ship had sailed.
Well we haven't heard from Vriska or Tavros ever since the kiss. I wouldn't take their <3 for granted.
well I just mean kanaya was burned pretty bad.
I guess I could kind of see her getting over it and resigning herself to the bittersweet role of supportive friend, like at the end of My Best Friend's WeddioH MY GOD I'M DRAWING PARALLELS TO A JULIA ROBERTS ROMCOM
GOING TO BED
GOODNIGHT CLOCK CREW
Night Slurps.
Quote from: DiscoBallClock;1780339Well we haven't heard from Vriska or Tavros ever since the kiss. I wouldn't take their <3 for granted.
Might I remind you, she is confused as fuck as anyone else.
Plus something tells me she is desperate to find out who are the matches to pay
her pending bill.
Quote from: TequilaClock;1780364Might I remind you, she is confused as fuck as anyone else.
I think she knows exactly what she wants, she is just incredibly manipulative and neurotic. I think Tavros was utterly confused and she was pissed that merely kissing the guy she crippled wasn't enough.
Quote from: TequilaClock;1780364Plus something tells me she is desperate to find out who are the matches to pay her pending bill.
Well they are only 13. I'm guessing he doesn't come around until you are an adult troll, whenever that may be. I can't really see him having two 13 year old trolls extracting their genetic material from each other to give to him. Also as an aside I have seen no real reason so far for trolls to have gender, besides for pleasing us humans. Maybe I am taking the brief description of troll reproduction too literally.
EDIT: Plus the troll race was supposedly destroyed meaning they don't have to reproduce, SBURB (or whatever the troll counterpart to it is) is pretty much Armageddon: The Game.
So why is it that it seems that Terezi is still blind even though everyone else has their handicaps returned to them upon waking up?
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1780403So why is it that it seems that Terezi is still blind even though everyone else has their handicaps returned to them upon waking up?
Maybe she's wearing the glasses but she isn't blind.
Seriously though, remember her lusus taught her how to "see" with smell and taste using dreams. I'm guessing she's somehow dream-blind.
when she's sleeping, she isn't blind. after she went blind in the real world, her lusus taught her how to see the world around her with smell, so she kinda cheated waking up early by being able to see things with scent.
I'm pretty sure she was also blind in her dreams.

As you learned, your dreams became more vivid. Where before there was darkness, odors and flavors painted a striking picture. You found yourself surrounded by bright honey walls, and in the sky was a huge tasty ball of cotton candy, which is this sweet troll delicacy we wouldn't know anything about.
The first time you caught a glimpse of this world in your dreams, there was no turning back.
Something really bad must have happened to her.
also, it took me a loooooooooong time to figure that gC's smilies represent her horns, not a frown.

EDIT2: OH!
Haha, Sollux thinks audience surrogates are voices of the imminently deceased.
Maybe an exile has been inside Aradia's head all along, and not the dead?
although she does have dead-talking powers, so maybe she confused the two?
so
CD thinks that not saying hi is what made sollux mad in the past but it was actually his own voice inside sollux's head that he was in the process of making
cutest violence-related predestination paradox ever?
yo Sollux slam a Faygo
Shit, what? So... is Clubs Deuce in one of those oddly shaped ships on the Alternian wasteland? I would imagine that crabby design is based on Karkat's alchemized computer.
Does that mean after Spades Slick crowbarred The Felt's safe he landed on the Alternian wasteland as well or what. I am confuuuuuuused.
What it means is that CD has a fucking sick ride.

Wow so what happened with Vriska and Vavros
Shit better start gettin splained
Also anyone else notice the writing on Sollux's wall?
I wonder if now we'll finally find out what boondollars are for.
Probably nothing important, since these are "pointless side quests".
Also isn't it kind of imbalanced having a whole chest full of Boondollars like right where you enter the game when it took John forever to get just one?
So far the only use for boondallars we have seen has been for John to buy a harlequin figurine from a salamander.
Oh also I still wish he would bring back STRIFE segments
Quote from: Bulba;1780796Also isn't it kind of imbalanced having a whole chest full of Boondollars like right where you enter the game when it took John forever to get just one?
Not if the only thing you can do with them is buy useless shit from salamanders.

boon
bucks.
they're worth a million boondollars
the trolls are cheaters and basically superheroes is the short answer
john didn't even make it through the second gate until I think a good way into Act 4, and that was only because terezi and sollux gave him a map and freaking jetpack
tavros and vriska are at least that far already
I'm guessing tavros and vriska have just come to terms with their feelings inbetween the last time we saw them and now.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1780805I'm guessing tavros and vriska have just come to terms with their feelings inbetween the last time we saw them and now.

but it's weird because now that they are together in the same place it's actually harder for him to tell us about them, because he can't just throw up a chatlog.

He did it with the Nanna and John, Dave and Davesprite, and Equius and Aradia.
Edit: And Rose and Jaspersprite, forgot about that one. All of the sprites. All of them.
The sprites are a game function though, not a person. I felt it was a bit awkward when he did it with the 2 trolls
also babbies because

I honestly don't get why he must be constrained to such an arbitrary communications system.
So there are at least eight exiles for the trolls, probably twelve in all. Geez. I wonder who they all are.

Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1780814also 8th exile, 8ball, snowman.
Oh yeah.
i wonder what kind of shenanigans that she's up to, given that they were the ones that exiled her and all, but she's looking for someone clever, which kinda throws out trying to manipulating whatever
gffgs
Maybe she's not too bitter about the whole thing.
Or maybe she has no idea that the kids conspired against her?
Wait though, why is Feferi surprised by Sollux coming back to life? Isn't that why she kissed him in the first place? Otherwise that just opens up all kinds of unfortunate implications.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1780825Wait though, why is Feferi surprised by him coming back to life?
She's not, she's scared of the brains.
I actually don't know but I'm pretty sure that's what's going on.
I hope so. Now that I look at it, that text seems to be from Sollux's point of view.
I liked it when Tavros went ": O" when they found the boonbucks.
Updates. I like the long dragon thing.
Oh yeah and there's something about Terezi being tasked with exiling Jack by the eighth exile but who cares about that, dragons that look like giant spindly stick bugs is where it's at.
Edit: Maybe it's her denizen. Probably not but fdsdgg

I may sound extremely stupid by saying this, but trolls can't talk, can they?
uhhhhh
I don't... uh.
I guess it's conceivable that they can't.
but largely it just kind of seems AH just doesn't really do conversations in the traditional sense in mspa for some reason
might have something to do with the adventure format
equius and aradia had a spritelog when she was ripping her heart out of her chest and pounding it to a bloody pulp with her super strong robot arm, and a spritelog I thiiiink is the closest we've ever seen the kids come to talking as well.
fyi every conversation has been presented as a chatlog, so it doesn't mean all of it has been in Pesterchum/Trollian
other characters like the Midnight Crew or the exiles have had communication as well, but not strictly presented in text or speech

it's a hero mode drawing, but it's close enough to a sprite that it kind of just looks like a messed up sprite. it probably wouldn't be as noticeable if the pose was more natural, but it looks like his shoulders are raised up with his arms completely slack.

No, that guy isn't being bad ironically, or as a joke. He is simply a bad singer. I've never heard any childrens show with a singer that bad. Honestly it sounds like the guy has never sung before in his life and the song was written by somebody with only a loose grasp of what the term "song" means.

Hussie having a laugh at our reference obsession.
I was going to pick apart the memo and point out all the nifty gags, explanations, callbacks, and character moments, but I'm pretty sure an endeavor to do so on my part would end up being longer than the pesterlog itself, and probably keep me up passed midnight. I have school in the morning, so I guess I have to be responsible and resist the temptation.
is it just me, or has karkat turned out to be a very relatable character?
cantankerous little fictional 13 year old alien confronting his personal demons and reflecting on his species' four distinct divisions of romantic interest with his past and future selves and his well-composed and articulate lesbian chainsaw maniac friend on an interchronological bulletin board WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE.
He's a bit too egotistical to be relatable to me.
karkat's awesome when he's mad, and pretty relatable when he's not yelling at others. he's pretty much the only troll who makes me say "damn, I wish I was a cancer."
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1782563He's a bit too egotistical to be relatable to me.
mm. to me his ego comes across as a side-effect of his emotional vulnerability. feelings of inadequacy from the blood thing make him prepared to see most of his surroundings as adversarial, and something to be overcome.
then there's the romance thing. his understanding of ridiculously complicated romantic entanglements and instinct for interpreting other people's feelings make him look on the outside like a calm (hehe. okay, but seriously.) little center in this hurricane of loony romance, but he's got his own shit to deal with.
I'm not saying the toothy, aggressive outward behavior is a facade- he's definitely kind of a dick- but he has what might be the most surprisingly realistic depiction of inner turmoil in the comic.
Terezi has a jetpack now. It makes her asking John for the code to his fucked up jetpack so she could send him a fixed one seem odd in retrospect, because she could have just gave him the code for this one.
It's a different jetpack from the one john has, it probably has a different code. Either that or she just forgot. Or maybe it was gifted to her like some of the other items have been.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1782793It's a different jetpack from the one john has, it probably has a different code.
Yeah, that's why I said this:
Quote from: Kombucha;1782786She could have just gave him the code for this one.
I'm not wondering why John's jetpack looks different from this one, I'm wondering why Terezi didn't just give him this one. It's way easier.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1782793Either that or she just forgot.
Maybe.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1782793Or maybe it was gifted to her like some of the other items have been.
No matter how she got it, the code would have showed up on the back of the captchalogue card.
there are a lot of weird discrepancies that popped up in hivebent.
like terezi not knowing why sollux types in yellow (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003982).
and kanaya's responses about their Campaign Of Provocation the second time she contacted rose (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002993), given that they should have known from their own experiences that trolling the kids wasn't going to accomplish anything and they were apparently just doing it because karkat thinks it's a good karmic punishment or whatever.
also on that note karkat indicating in the memos he's sick of the temporal fuckery and trying to keep things as linear as possible, and then apparently deciding to troll john backwards and acting all surprised when it becomes a huge confusing mess (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003294).
ah already covered the one (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004401) about the ==> syntax on jack's console (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003253)
I could probably no-prize all of these, but tbqh I don't really care. they're only noticeable because everything else fits together so well, which is so strange for an extemporaneous effort like mspa, especially with the amount of time travel involved.
It would make sense that she couldn't just give him the code for the jetpack if each game has different codes, to prevent cheating.
Like maybe in homestuck it's PSHOOOOO but in hivebent its BLASTTTT or some shit
Quote from: Thor;1782804It would make sense that she couldn't just give him the code for the jetpack if each game has different codes, to prevent cheating.

This is possible too, and it would be pretty interesting if it turns out to be true. Although that's a little weird too, because it brings up the code exchange again. Wouldn't the codes for the messed up jetpack and the fixed one be different for the trolls and the kids?
Maybe Hussie just likes to annoy us with blatant contradictions.
Now he's DEFINITELY trolling us.

terezi got the other object codes from the other kids at different parts in the timeline
I don't see why sollux couldn't have subtracted the codes without having to captchalogue anything

That makes sense.
So Terezi knew about Karkat's blood all along by some kind of romantic noodle incident. Either way I am still curious about how she got blind in first place, and even Karkat brought that in.

QuoteThat will be the last update while I do a bit of animation. It ought to take... maybe a week? Let's call it a week.
I'm sure I could do it faster. In fact, I can't really promise I won't! (<- horrible thing for me to say, ensuring rampant F5ing several days from now until time of next update.)
But I will err on granting the task a wider berth. I keep making this pact with myself, sort of like a recurring New Year's resolution that has no particular affiliation with any calendar event, that I will try and take it easier on this thing now and then. I repeatedly fail to honor this resolution, and like that pledge to lose those stubborn holiday pounds which so easily falls by the wayside, I cannot seem to shed the drawing hours. And so I keep drawing and wallowing and eating ice cream.
What am I even talking about anymore.
All right, so that COULD mean this arc is about to be over next week.
Okay. Seems like a weird place to leave off on, but I really would like to go back to the kids.
Ok so that's how Terezi got blind and how her lusus woke up. Awesome chain of events.
What the fuck. Were Eridan and Sollux fighting? And did AA(I forget her name) kill Vriska?
Quote from: DiscoBallClock;1783864What the fuck. Were Eridan and Sollux fighting? And did AA(I forget her name) kill Vriska?
Vriska fucking killed Aradia in first place by controlling her boyfriend on doing so, and I think she got blinded in Prospit by Terezi as payback as well. The worst part is that Vriska possibly changed whilst with Tavros not being a HUGE BITCH BLUH BLUH anymore. Sooner or later, she was going to have her just desserts for remaining damages.
Also, Eridan and Sollux could be fighting over a misunderstanding about Feferi.

Yeah I figured as much for Sollux and Eridan.
Actually I just wondered if Terezi did the exact same thing she did to Lemonsnout at the end.
eridan's mad that sollux took his girl he was after, but in the process found a kismesis, which kinda turns out okay
I'm not entirely sure if vriska just got beat to death, but, if she did, it makes sense from a plotting standpoint.
we've seen sollux replace his dead alternian body with its prospit equivalent, we've seen that vriska's dreamself has all eight eyes and both arms, and we've seen vriska attempting to troll jade in the kid's timeline, apparently from the medium.
second, we've seen vriska referring to entering a truce with terezi (I'm assuming terezi was just giving her a friendly wake-up bitchslap at the end there. terezi was fine with being blinded, and they have to team up to exile jack and destroy the ring, remember), making amends (of sorts) with tavros, and now aradia getting her bloody revenge (presumably having a physical body made her start caring about shit again)
all this adds up to is when vriska arrives in the medium, she's at 100% (two arms, vision eightfold) and she and everybody on the team that she'd wronged are effectively even.
also, I'm happy that this wasn't an Enter (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003049) style wrap-up like everybody was expecting. :stubborn:
there are 12 trolls and a lot of things I was still wondering about (even before this update) that would be really hard to depict non-verbally.
I miss the kids, but not enough to want to see this glossed over.
honestly that was some pretty clever writing finding a way to blind her
hop scotching between 3 different psychic powers? BRILLIANT
also, i don't think this flash is the end of the hivebent arc, he said he'd make a flash when he starts to wrap things up, but he never said it was the end of it.
THE PLOT THICKENS
I wonder what DD thinks of all these young grey ladies.
Hopefully not too much seeing as they're supposed to be thirteen.

Plus most if not all insects do not live up a year to reach maturity, trolls are some kind of candy-insect humanoid so we cannot take a point about their biological and social margins.

future dave is already dead, effectively. He became a sprite. For all we know dream rose is still all alone in her doomed timeline.
future rose is still alive in dream rose just fyi
Let's dig back a little bit to finish something, if Dream Jade is dead, it does not mean real Jade is too, right?
dream jade is dead, but real jade is alive.
that is to say, falling out of a 50ft building on a 50ft cliff.
a cliffhanger.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Keep in mind that Aradia's a sprite, too. But she's still doomed by being sent back.
Sollux was resurrected by using his dream self as an extra life. Dream Jade's gone, which means that any death for real Jade would be real death. And if Dream Rose is doomed, too, death for real Rose would be real too.
Yeah Ivysaur is right she was a frog-sprite
CONTINUITY ISSUES
Well it looks like they won or something. That was a little anticlimactic, I hope what happens after they beat the Black King makes up for it. Like how they got stranded.
Edit: But since there are meteors coming down to Skaia, the Reckoning has already happened, and they didn't stop the meteors. Did they lose and decide to fuck up the Black King anyway? fdsffddasdd
I suppose the confusion will probably be cleared up. Since it was a video log from the future, how they got to that point, as well as what's going on with Jack, Snowman, Terezi and Vriska is still going to be shown, I guess. Sometimes I hate it when stories are told out of order.
the reckoning happens regardless in any session, it starts out with small meteors then into bigger ones. the reckoning can be stopped during the middle of it though, and the trolls stopped it before the HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE ones came.
Yeah but there are a lot of them falling down on Skaia , Skaia's defense portals are supposed to get rid of most of them before Skaia's defenses fail.
Whatever, fuck this.
I guess confirmed that Vriska got beaten to death?
Also has their session now equated to a game of pool where you scratch pocketing the eightball?

But yeah we don't know yet how the kids opened the scratch, right?
What ended up happening with jack manipulating Karkat? And the dead troll planet ruled by the exiles?

Yeah, and you can see that she
does have her creepy eye, meaning that that was her dream-self. Why would her dream-self be clothed regularly unless she went to replace her real-self like Sollux did?
QuoteBut yeah we don't know yet how the kids opened the scratch, right?

All will b revealed? Also I'm pretty sure it was explained that jack's manipulation of Karkat was foiled by the queen's manipulation of Terezi, creating a manipulative double-reacharound that caused both parties to be exiled.
I'm guessing she fixed her eye with alchemy but I dunno
It doesn't seem like they're able to replace tissues, only give prostheses. Otherwise, why was Tavros still in the rocketchair?
Um wow so it seems like the destruction of the universe has already been triggered, and Aradia's infinite copies are just holding it from the current session of the chums. In other words, if Aradia is disconnected from the server, it could unleash the huge fucking Armageddon they already brewed. Or so I think at least.

If this really is the end of Hivebent, it leaves a lot of loose ends, but it's kind of a cool conclusion. It implies the trolls indirectly created our universe, and the constellations of the Zodiac represent them, not the other way around.

kinda dumb we never got to see dream world Tavros
Act 5 act 2 lol.
d'aaaaaaaaaaw. looks like he finally found a possible kismesis.
man, i can't believe I just posted that. like, anyone with an outside view of this would go "what"
it's just pretty funny how a simple webcomic like homestuck has developed into something incredibly elaborate. all these crazy little terms, and all these relationships. it's like a soap opera. an alien soap opera with tons of kids, that fight monsters and kick ass.
it's going to be awesome to see the kids again, it's been quite a while (3-4 months) since we've heard anything from them. it's hard to believe how attached i've grown to these characters, and I feel kinda sad that we're going back to the kids as well. it's kinda funny how I can relate more to the trolls than the kids. i just hope we see more of them.
Go to think of it, did Karkat just realize that he invented his most hated scumbag ever? A derivative of his own collaborative effort on creating that universe?
Man, I love this so much.

i do understand that matesprits are generally of opposite genders, but I didn't know kismesis had the same position. I simply understand that it's arch-rivalry at it's best comparison.
BUT THEN AGAIN I AM AN UNI-DIMENIONAL HUMAN THAT DOESN'T GET THIS TROLLMANCE THING.
also, I dunno, I am thinking too hard about this but... is this the ultimate reward? Each troll managed to make some kind of universe each? Do chums have red blood because of Karkat?

That's an interesting idea.
wait it gets better, what about romantic comedies and all those bad movies? Did they have an influence on the creative mind in John's planet? Will Smith, Adam Sandler, and Serendipity are derivative from Karkat's fandom? And what about the other 11 trolls? AGHHHH whatevs.
Quote from: TequilaClock;1785311also, I dunno, I am thinking too hard about this but... is this the ultimate reward? Each troll managed to make some kind of universe each?
they all made one universe.
the kids' universe. our universe.
this is the answer to what the game is actually about (which I've been harping off and on about for, like, this whole thread). the players' world is destroyed, then rebuilt by the exiles. when the players successfully complete the game, a new universe is created through their actions, and their reward is entering that universe (where their influence is felt- see also the constellations, and, yeah, likely the red blood thing) with all their cool shit from the game in tow. this is how the multiverse reproduces; homestuck is a creation myth.
the kids, though, influenced the trolls' session through rose's faq, thereby influencing the creation of their own universe. the faq, of course, was based on her experiences with the game, which were in turn influenced by the trolls.
incestuous slurry.anyway, whatever. that would actually all wrap up into a neat package on the bottom line, however far down that bottom line may be.
the real story here is rose destroyed her first gate, and the sovereign slayer is a psychopath and got his hands on the queen's ring. the kids are breaking the game. or, to put it another way,
they are interfering with the reproduction cycle of the multiverse.
I heartily recommend getting in the habit of checking
ah's formspring, guys. dude's brilliant.

Well, holy shit. I think i just fell in love with this story again.
EDIT:
QuoteMaybe Earth is the "paradise planet" mentioned once or twice. Maybe they could have settled there. Are trolls really prone to settle? Maybe if they were successful, they would have conquered instead. It's all a moot point obviously.
Earth is less special as a place the trolls are destined to settle, and more special as a place where the kids were born. The kids who would go on the adventure that would be completely tangled up with the adventure the trolls just went on.
Wow, wow, wow. Fuck yes. Hell fucking yes.

Wait a minute, Vriska doesn't have a robot arm now?
Quote from: TequilaClock;1785799Wait a minute, Vriska doesn't have a robot arm now?
She died and was replaced by her dream self.
Ohhh, not to mention the other 7 eyes. I had forgotten about that...
I'm still very confused as to why they call it seven different eyes when it just looks like one eye with seven pupils. If she literally had seven eye structures where a normal eye would be then it would make sense.
Okay, biology rage over.
well, I mean, presumably seven pupils means seven retinal connections (that's to say seven individual light receptive organs on a single convex surface) which makes it more a matter of semantics. does a fly have two eyes, or ten thousand?
she's got vision eightfold. eight minus one is seven. :stubborn:
so I don't know if you guys know, but that discussion we had about the mystery voices/gods that talk to rose and possibly aradia a billion pages back?
I forget where I learned this, but it turns out people with dream selves on derse get messages from them, instead of the time/space clouds that prospit players get. that's why future rose and dave both knew about them in the abandoned timeline, and... yeah, all the other related mysteries.
unrelated thought: maybe the reason we've had contradictory notions about magic (rose specifically used a spell to send her FAQ into the furthest ring (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003842), amongst other things, yet throughout act 5 we've repeatedly (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004467) been (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004375) informed (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004339) that magic is made up make believe fakey fake fake, the way fairies are) is that magic isn't real in the trolls' universe, but their influence (eridan and possibly tavros or gamzee) made it real in the kids' universe.
Quote from: Slurpee;1785805well, I mean, presumably seven pupils means seven retinal connections (that's to say seven individual light receptive organs on a single convex surface) which makes it more a matter of semantics. does a fly have two eyes, or ten thousand?
she's got vision eightfold. eight minus one is seven. :stubborn:
But it doesn't look like a compound eye. It looks like a normal eye with a fucked up pupil. The light receptive organ isn't the pupil anyway, it's the retina, and it looks like they all share the same retina. I guess I could be wrong and he just isn't drawing the separation between them, but it would be pretty stupid for her compound eye to only have seven lenses.
Whatever, I never took Hussie to be a science major kinda guy anyway.

If people can travel back and forth like that, couldn't the kids travel in that way as well?
Also when are we gonna see daves bro, he is awesome. I mean he can hold his own against a superpowered Jack Noir.

Mom transported herself to the Ectobiology Lab in the Veil and then caught a ride on Grandpa's ship to Skaia. Grandpa also picked up Dad at Land of Wind and Shade. The kids might have been able to do that, but they would have to meet up with Grandpa and ask him for a ride. The kids could also transport themselves to the lab in the Veil, which John did.
It's kind of goofy since we don't yet know why Grandpa is alive and in the Medium, or why he has a ship.
Edit: I just realized we also don't know how the imps took Dad from LOWAS to Derse and how he got back. Oh well, that's not as important.

Hmm well if he had a dream self wouldn't he want to talk with dream jade and stuff? Then again he is alive now so couldn't he have taken his ship over to skaia and visited her when she slept?
He does have a picture of dream jade over his fireplace
Also I have another question for you guys. We know that the Troll adults are supposed to be off in other star systems making space colonies and shit. Wouldn't they still be alive after the trolls entered their session? I mean they are spread out over many star systems.

I think they might be dead as cC's lusus seemed to have freaked out making
her signature psychic death wave glub thingy. The kid trolls (
at least most of them) managed to survive because they were already in the medium which is like another dimension instead of just a place far away.

I wonder what is with the vices/problems of the guardians? Like drinking, smoking, puppet porn and being overbearing? I think they might be holdovers from the troll guardians often being terrible dangerous beasts.

Quote from: ButtplugClock;1787036If the Doctor were to somehow appear in Homestuck my head would explode
I laughed at that line
because
okay, after I saw hot tub time machine I started planning out this time travel flash movie about clocks getting into some shenanigans using different time travel props from pop culture (the HG Wells machine, the delorean, the ocarina of time, the box from primer, the cosmic treadmill, the epoch, ashton kutcher's diary, etc.) with the idea being that each device worked and affected the timeline depending on how time travel worked in the fictional universe it was from. say flux steals your cookies with the delorean, and you try to stop him a harry potter time turner. you wouldn't be able to, because the time turners create stable time loops.
blah blah blah
anyway I had a couple of jokes planned about the aesthetic similarities between the TARDIS and the Bill & Ted phone booth is what I was trying and failing to get at.
because it's true. phone booths are popular for some reason.
i am not sure who is more awesome, Doctor Who or Bill & Ted
hahahah Chalk loves Contact to John-like levels, it's ridiculous
I don't understand what Kanaya just did. She thinks that she made Rose act dumb in the first conversation through some fucking weird ass temporal time shit, but in reality it was just John fucking with her first, then Rose realizing that John had trolled Kanaya, and just going along with what Kanaya said she thought she was doing?
Quote from: TequilaClock;1787123i am not sure who is more awesome, Doctor Who or Bill & Ted
Bill and Ted as bumbling Timelords
she did this in like act 4.
she trolled rose at several different points after her initial conversation with rose (not counting the one with john), and rose was being really icy and dismissive, so she went back to before those conversations took place, and before the one with john under rose's account, but after the initial conversation with real rose, and used the conversation she unknowingly had had with john (which was going to happen next), to antagonize rose by forcing her to deliberate over how to subvert the stable time loop where she (they thought) acted like a complete dipshit. rose's reaction to this needling was the icy, dismissive attitude kanaya had experienced in the previous few conversations (or, from rose's perspective, the next few conversations).
so even though rose had the long end of the antagonism stick in conversations 4=3, 5=4, 6=5, and 7=6, kanaya took the wind out of her sails by going back and goading her into the negative attitude in the first place during conversation 2=7.
she won by fucking with the causation.
the effect is somewhat reduced when rose learns that john was the one having the idiotic conversation about little monsters, but it was still enough to tick off rose, if the flighty broads and their snarky horseshitometer is to be believed.
presumably the only way for rose to undercut this plan is to not care about it and then be a huge bitch for no reason.
Does free will even exist in Homestuck? It seems like everything is predetermined, though AH keeps hinting, with John, that maybe it isn't. But it seems like it has to be predetermined or these time loops couldn't exist.
well I mean
now we're crossing the line into philosophy
the short answer is it does, as long as you're willing to accept that the ability to make a choice isn't subverted by a trans-temporal foreknowledge of that choice and its consequences.
that's to say, just because you're destined to make a decision doesn't mean that, when you make it, you're not doing it for your own reasons.
add to that the fact that paradox space- and sburb- 34t p4r4dox3s for br34kf4st.
when terezi tried to create a paradox by killing john, it turned out john being saved by a dave from an abandoned timeline was actually part of the predestined outcome the whole time (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003557)- the trolls were absent from the abandoned timeline (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003543), because they only see things the way they actually played out, with all the causation firmly in place. but, in some sense, it was only destined to go that way because the involved parties had the free will to do all the crazy time travel horse shit to begin with.
the timeline as they experience it is one of many potential outcomes- this one played out, instead of any others, largely because of the decisions of the players involved. free will exists, it's just that the players only see what happens when all the free will has been exhausted and resolved.
That is a fantastic expression.

Which reminds me that the MSPA wiki is pretty close to 666 articles.
Also Rose's THORNS OF OGLOGOTH cost 666 units of tar but that was of course intentional so it's not like "whoa man look at this amazing and absolutely hilarious coincidence!"

So in what way exactly is sweet bro and hella jeff related to Homestuck aside from Dave being the person who makes it? Is it supposed to tell us something about Dave?
It's also kind of funny to me how I read all of the SBHJ comics like a year before I read anything else on MSPA
I might be wrong, but I think they are based on Dave's friendship with John. I remember some gys on the MSPA forum were saying the dog one was based on John falling from Prospit. I dunno about that one.
I don't think they hold any significance besides having cameo appearances as clones inside the main story. I never really liked SBHJ to be honest.
How can you NOT
I kind of just dryly appreciate sbahj for what it is tbqh
a depiction of an insane, broken world full of assholes and illogic that generates quotable lines like no one's business. it's contributed a lot to the internal language of mspa that hussie mentioned in his formspring that one time.

I find both the latest image and comment very interesting. That topic came out of nowhere.
in terms of where it's located and what it looks like, this new diddlybopper makes me think of a cross between the keyholes from kingdom hearts, and the way I pictured certain archeological ruins in a number of lovecraft's short stories. the fact that it looks like a giant green sylladex card, though, makes me think this might actually be the sburb equivalent of the giant 9-point circle of power from eternal darkness (uh... for the uninitiated, that's to say, an enormous, difficult to finagle, but phenomenally more powerful and important facsimile of a familiar gameplay mechanic), and, with rose's intentions being what they are, I'd guess what we're looking at is actually closer to the big gears around and below amusement park rides, behind doors marked "employees only." rose is going to do something she is not supposed to... but I guess we knew that already.
boy I hope that idiotic paragraph I just typed makes any sense at all!

Like I said, she's transferred her tsundere attention to John now, because John is basically Tavros with a spine.
That's why she's embarrassed for even making a small mistake in front of him.
I think you are forgetting that a "tsundere" takes complete negative pretentiousness over the target, and she is acting pretty friendly.
Oh also, cool outfit, John

Tsunderes don't have to want to kill the person of interest, they just hide their feelings with scorn, kinda like when she makes fun of him for having bad taste and stuff?
OH. KAY.

Quit gettin' mad at japanese tropes.
it's just annoying that you continually frame things in that context
it skews the overarching conversation's perspective on the character dynamics in really weird ways
you might see some parallels between some of the interpersonal character relationships in homestuck and the common characterization archetypes in anime (as one of your personal areas of narrative familiarity), but considering ah has flatly stated he doesn't know a damn thing about anime, it's highly unlikely that the contemporary japanese cultural approach toward stock characters actually informs homestuck's character interplay in any notable way. the whole line of conversation seems thusly to be of no meaningful application, even (or especially) insofar as speculating on the nature of the characters and relationships under discussion.
QuoteAG: Yes, I know that, dummy! I am in complete command of your timeline, remem8er?
See, this is what her deal is. She just wants to be manipulative. I mean she said herself she DIDN'T want John to be a boy-skylark, which was very much a part of her creepy Tavros fantasy. She is embarrassed about making a mistake in front of him because the Trolls think they are superior to the pink little humans that don't even have horns. Quit shipping.

She might be messing with him a bit but it's playful, not full on Helga style bitching. If anything she's tsundere for Tavros.
Also Slurpee, the japanese didn't invent tsundere, they just named it. It can exist in western stories too. Just not in quite the same way. Didn't you ever know a kid in elementary school who had a crush on someone and showed it by being mean to them? Happens all the time.

Jeez, fine, no more anime trope references.
Also, is dave going to the future and just looks into all the markets that show a massive investment, because those are the ones he will invest in in the past? That's the only way I could see him making a stable time loop.
E: but how can he make a stable time loop with money from the future? Shouldn't it by nature upset paradox space by nature of the fact that it shouldn't exist at that time?

I think you are reading into it too much. It seems to me they end up acting more like friends that both know nothing is going to happen between them. Or maybe AH is just implying things, but he dare not go farther than implications?
I was just using the basis that John was wearing a kismesis shirt when Karkat first found him, and now Dave is wearing a matespiritship shirt when Terezi first finds him. I didn't mean anything concrete about it, honestly.

In the page immediately preceding this, Terezi told Dave he was going to cry someday, and now he is crying. But we don't know if it's from the onions or if he's really lost his cool.
Other than that, it's not supposed to make sense yet. Maybe the crocodiles got wise to his exploitation of the LOHACSE.

oh ok, thought I was missing something from before.
haha, reading the pesterlog between dave and karkat's going to be pretty amazing. like terezi said before, they're both pretty witty smartasses, albiet one's mad and the other's chill.
can't wait till tommorrow/today to see this :]
Dave's gimmick is that he never uses caps, right?
EDIT: Yep, no capitalization or punctuation
the kids don't really have a set gimmick like the trolls tbh, dave kinda just types like a cool kid. the only "gimmick" you could say any of the kids have would be Rose for typing perfectly.

he said he couldn't go to sleep, and the explosion from here (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004646) came from the prospit dream towers. karkat never woke up till after the game ended, and his dreamself never got to the battlefield. relevance maybe?

I think he is intended to look like some sort of bee boy. Every troll has a relation to an animal or insect.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1789858Why does it use the time portals from Chrono Trigger and then send him into a room with the heroes from Earthbound?
pretty sure the room is from final fantasy 6, too.
and, honestly, that's the only one of the references that eludes me, because I haven't seen any indication of ff6 being tapped prior to this.
maybe it's because those are the best 3 rpgs ever made? idk.
okay so
I was doing some digging through the archives trying to formulate an idea of who Lord English could be, given this new information that karkat recognizes him, (besides the obvious Jack from the kids' session... which incidentally would make Spades even more of a badass, taking on a godmode alt. version of himself), and I noticed that when we're introduced to Doc Scratch (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004153) and told that he's Alternia's First Guardian (and it's heavily implied, through subtext, that Becquerel is Earth's), we're never actually told that the First Guardian is a construct of the demon.
now that we know the game is actually the method by which universes reproduce, the First Guardian being there to "facilitate the planet's ultimate purpose" could actually be read to refer to that, and not the summoning of the demon- that's to say, just because Doc Scratch is a servant of English, doesn't mean all of his multiversal equivalents are.
meaning
uh
good dog, best friend, I guess.
this felt like a bigger deal before I typed it out.
(http://files.myfrogbag.com/xtrzpo/kk.png)
and aradia explodes in the future. foreshadowing?
Folks I found a secret:
As Karkat, go into your room and before the transporter which leads you to the room where Past Karkat remembers when he had to deal with the troll babies-examine the brick wall, there will be a switch which does something I don't know.
EDIT: Apparently it opens the door to Karkat's secret room, a bit western to the switch.
I WARNED YOU ABOUT UPDATES BRO! I TOLD YOU DOG!
EDIT: Oh it's just two pages.
At least nannasprite caught him
i don't know what just happened there but I will accept it
Just Nanna being Nanna I guess. I knew she wouldn't do anything outright malicious.
NANNASPRITE: Yes, that is quite high. You have climbed so much faster than I did in my youth. I am so proud of you!
8^0
i might be overlooking it, but the guardians seem to know quite a bit about the game.
actually, it's probably not lord english why they're not falling asleep, but as hinted here:

That is just a joke I think I should clarify so something like Marlin making a serious post in reply which turns into a serious discussion about troll/Dersite sexuality or whatever doesn't happen again.
Quote from: ButtplugClock;1789995Slurpee what do you use to create .gifs like that avatar?
imageready...
... whose last stable release was 5 years ago, now, so I guess I should clarify, was kind of a stripped down version of photoshop, that shipped with photoshop, but could do animated .gifs and had better image optimization, amongst other things. adobe stopped making it after cs2 because they figured they could replace it with Fireworks (they were wrong).
I used to do this kind of thing in flash, because I went through a period of doing everything in Flash. you could probably do it that way if you need something done (or just ask me).
to put it completely accurately the .gif optimization in Flash is the dark pigment discoloration on either side of my sphincter, and doesn't even have any kind of preview available, but it's generally workable for forum-related activity, which is probably the only place animated .gifs are ever going to be any kind of commodity ever again, especially with the advent of .apng crawling forth.
okay shut up slurpee.
just import the features onto the Flash stage, trace bitmap if you feel a pressing urge, shrink the stage to match the intended size, isolate and arrange the elements the way you want, then file, export, export movie..., format: animated .gif
you should probably fiddle with the publish settings if you want it to not look terrible. open the .gif tab in publish settings, set playback to animated loop, palette to adaptive, max colors to 99999, transparency to.... uh. transparent or alpha, I think. fuck around with it. I honestly have no idea what they're trying to convey with this garbage imageready blows this shit out of the water in every conceivable respect.

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1790080Why was I singled out? Don't be a dick.
Because you were the single person who replied to a joke I made. The discussion came out of Tequila responding to you. Then after that a bunch of people berated him for being dumb.
I'm using you as an example because you're what comes to mind because you're the one who made a serious reply to a joke I made and I don't want that to happen again. Anybody else could do it. But that one time, you did it. Got it?
hehe, eridan is still my favorite troll.

Eridian has a blood caste fetish too? He's totally nudgin' in on Equius's game. Equius does it way better though.
he doesn't have a fetish with it, he just wants to kill all low blooded land dwellers who have it (BUT NOT REALLY). he's more the genocidal type of guy who wants to kill everyone with low caste blood.
and where equius really doesn't get off on the blood fetish as much as it is taking orders and whatnot. he just uses it to justify that.

Equius is a masochist, he enjoys the idea of taking orders, more specifically, higher casts. Eridan is just a confused genocidal megalomaniac. :fez:

Update.
Rose's magic and more importantly her communication with these gods has me intrigued. I didn't realize they were the same things talking to Aradia.
^Called it.
Also I think I called that Rose was going crazy.
going to copy and paste something that's someone over from the MSPA forums wrote that isn't a complete retard, and is a pretty fucking cool guy.
Quote from: VarinnYo I honestly had no idea what I was gonna write about for Rose when I said ââ,¬Å"im gonna do it!!ââ,¬Â so I decided to bone up on some Old School Pages and I stumbled on to a fucking goldmine. Welcome to Logic Castle, I'll be your host, Baron Knowsshit
the central guiding concept that links all of Roses' actions is simple. It's Agency.
13 year old Rose Lalonde is powerless. Mostly because she's a 13 year old child! But also because she has engaged herself in conflict with an Authority Figure who controls the entire balance of power. She even lives on island, lacking agency to even leave! She's a creative, like most people lacking agency, because through music, crafts and writing she can create. She is the sole creator and decider, and has full agency over Creation. It is a liberating feeling, to create, and she cherishes it all the more because it is the only power she enjoys. Even when she engages in a ââ,¬Å"fightââ,¬Â with Mom, her only form of attack is threatening suicide, because her own life is the only thing she has power over.
Her other hobbies are inextricably linked to this as well. The obsession with defacing Squiddles posters and shirts is her attempt at rebelling against Authority in general, and her fascination with Things From Beyond is because the entire concept behind Outer Gods is that their power is literally unimaginable. Nothing has agency over them, and Rose finds this concept exhilarating. Her use of psychoanalysis is less of a drive to learn the machinations of other people but to gain the upper hand in conversations with them, giving her power over them.
So we've determined that Rose is powerless. She is desperate for it, and grabs it whenever possible, and however minor. So what happens when you put this person in a situation where ultimate, unstoppable power is at their fingertips? She doesn't even think about NOT taking the Thorns, and her first action is to destroy. But destroying enemies isn't good enough for Rose. Her theme isn't Power, it's Agency, and Agency implies you're acting under your own impulses. Rose quickly discovers that, because of the temporal imperative, she can't actually do anything that hasn't already happens. Someone has exerted ultimate authority over HER, the person with limitless power. Obviously, she is enraged. She discovers the source of this authority (Skaia/The game) and immediately goes to war with it.
Rose hasn't changed, she only gained the power to fight against the authority that denies her agency.
I didn't know that Aradia could be such a fun gal.

kanaya was obviously trying to avoid falling into moirallegiance with rose (as she had with vriska), because she's harboring unrequited matespritship and, to trolls, one precludes the other. it's not only much more interesting (in terms of the development of their dynamic), but also much more clear cut than my initial interpretation. kinda cute, too, in a tragic way.
I didn't catch it on my first pass because I keep falling back to a more relatable (simplified) understanding of the quadrants, but, to trolls, sometimes stopping somebody you like from going down a destructive path could mean losing them.

Yeah, while Kanaya is purposely going out of her way to not send mixed messages (from her perspective as a troll), she is doing exactly that (from Rose's perspective as a human).
It is all very adorable and tragic.

It WAS boring at the time though, at least for me
Quote from: ButtplugClock;1791826It WAS boring at the time though, at least for me
I found it pretty boring too.
They FLIGHTY BROADS AND THEIR SNARKY HORSEHIT stuff preceding it was fun but there weren't any new convos between them during that time so dsffds
a good amount of kanaya's stuff is pretty boring when she's trying to get her matesprit on. read the dialouge that she had with vriska during alterniabound, she was being pretty strong. when she's trying to get it on with rose though, she's kinda gawky, and kinda boring.
she's like karkat, but with redrom problems instead of blackrom, and minus all the self-loathing.
It wasn't just Kanaya, Rose was boring too. In fact if I had to say who was more boring in their sixteenth conversation or something silly like that, I would say Rose was more boring.
But either way, it was just a pretty boring conversation overall, even with the whole "ooh Kanaya secretly has the hots for Rose and is all embarassed about it" and the "oh boy what's this stuff about the Green Sun". Too much lackluster dialogue.
The sweetest thing would be if Kayana made a Gamefaqs for troll love, to help Rose like Rose helped Kayana.
And I'm not saying that just cos I'm still confused about auspitices.
Man, I don't know what you guys are talking about. Everything with Rose and/or Kanaya in it is totally adorable and not boring.
Also John just totally broke Jade's toilet (http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004756).

Quote from: IvysaurClock;1791861And I'm not saying that just cos I'm still confused about auspitices.
An auspistice is something different. Unless you're saying that Kanaya is an auspistice between herself and Rose or something like that, but that would be really weird. Summarized briefly (as it should be), an auspistice is a mediator between two people to keep their relationship functional.
Read more here if you want.
Nah, I didn't think that was what was going on, I just have a hard time getting it. The Wikia does help a bit though.
That and moirals. Can trolls intentionally engage in self-destructive behaviour to get someone to fill this quadrant? Is Rose being reckless interpreted as moiral-flirting to Kayana?

1025 = 413 + 612
The joke is that they are not really significant outside of being the dates that Homestuck and Hivebent started, Andrew just likes to sneak them in everywhere.

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1792128I doubt that globe dropping two feet woulda killed her.
To be fair, Cruxtruders are opened with very heavy objects or impacts. John opened it with a sledgehammer using Rose's help, Jade opened Dave's by dropping a toilet over it, and Dave opened Rose's by hitting it with the gigantic wizard statue.
Any of those hits could have killed a human on the head, it's very possible it followed this pattern.

E:yup.

uh
not really sure what's happening with lil cal right now but anyway
whatever happens with jade's kernelsprite (didn't vriska or somebody say it was impossible to not prototype before entering the medium? I can't think of a causational reason why that would be in terms of sburb's mechanics, but it seems to be the case) the prototyping (or lack there-of, I guess. kind of curious to see how that plays out alone) is probably going to come into effect during jacksper noirlecrow's rematch with bro, and (if I'm following correctly) the reshaping of skaia is probably going to affect the location of the white queen's ring.
lots of potential for radness. godamn.
Quote from: Slurpee;1792218and (if I'm following correctly) the reshaping of skaia is probably going to affect the location of the white queen's ring.
Wait, why?
because it's on skaia
I don't know it just seems to me that the planet an object is on spontaneously shifting into a more complicated form would shift the object around a little
Buttttt doesn't WV have it?
oh hey bro fixed cal up.
Bro and Davesprite teaming up yesss
caw caw motherfucker
Quote from: TequilaClock;1792224Buttttt doesn't WV have it?
WV lives in the future
edit: oh wait I see what you're saying. I might be mistaken. isn't
this the last time we saw it?
Oh God I am so glad Lil' Cal is back, fuck yes.
it'd be cool if davesprite tried to attack jack, but bro interfered wanting to handle it himself out of honor or something.
it'd also be pretty amazing if davesprite attacked and destroyed cal again.
it'd also be funny if bro and dave started to fight, leaving jack out of the equation for some sibling rivalry.
I still want to understand the true nature of Jack and Bro. Their previous "fight" didn't seem to go somewhere at all.

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1792295Oh god, he's gonna accidentally prototype it with the minion, isn't he.

prototyping it with a minion wouldn't be exciting to be honest, unless the thing it's connected to is fucking huge.

You're probably joking too but just so you know I wasn't suggesting that they were matesprits or kismesis.
Quote from: Slurpee;1792218uh

HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!
Either Cal has bricks stuffed into his fists or Jack has a glass jaw.
Or Cal is the ULTIMATE WEAPON.
Fucking awesome.
Quote from: BinaryClock;1792373Or Cal is the ULTIMATE WEAPON.
Yes.
jack/cal/dave confirmed for tangle buddies. kinda feeling bad for jack, after he was awesome enough to hand bro back his sword for some unfinished business.
then again, he slaughtered a ton of people before hand, im guessing he doesn't any any respect for the weak.
I have a feeling Davesprite and Bro are going to start losing this fight once Jade prototypes something with her kernelsprite.
We heard before that the sprites all eventually die and that time traveling future selves all are doomed, so I kinda figure davesprite is screwed, but I really hope bro doesn't die. :(

haha, this pesterlog was great. it's giving us pretty decent insight about how they're going to break the game by abusing the mechanic that creates a new universe by taking something from the creation process.
hearing some of rose's thoughts about alpha timelines and talking about her views on things god damn. im getting really excited about what john's gonna prototype into it.
Let's remember John is pretty dumb most of the time. The prototyping could result either too silly (something Con Air related and what not) or dangerous (slipping the birthday bunny in it in a series of odd events; this is Homestuck, everything is diabolus ex machina), but put in mind this is Jade's turn overall.

So I finally got around to reading MS Paint Adventures. I hate getting involved with long-running TV shows/comics/what have you because I know if I like it I'll end up marathoning them and I just don't have the time. So I started on Problem Sleuth AND DEAR GOD THAT SHIT IS AMAZING AND ADDICTIVE. I need to write two papers by Tuesday and I'll be home late Monday because London public transport sucks shit so I can't read as much as I want to but I'll get around to it soon. After I'm done with that I'll get started on Homestuck.
But fuck me if I'm reading this entire thread. 75 pages? Jesus Christ you guys.
It would be hardly necessary and highly spoiling.

Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1793849yep, that pretty much confirms jack is english.
I thought he was
French, I mean, his last name is Noir.
Ballfucks, I thought that prototyping Becquerel would have been too obvious, but I am still amazed it happened.
actually, the thing that destroyed the trolls place was referred as a demon, just like lord english, but he never was called that.
hm.
look at me, yabbering on about lord english like a little fangirl when all that stuff happened.
god damn, that flash's is quite a bit to take in. im gonna watch it a few more times.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1793853actually, the thing that destroyed the trolls place was referred as a demon, just like lord english, but he never was called that.

we were introduced to the concept of the demon through one of the viruses sollux had stored, that had shifting billiard balls as the name of a subroutine.
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003991not a lot of wiggle room.
Chalk just asked me what happened, and I couldn't explain it, but it was the best thing.

http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003991
not a lot of wiggle room.
not to mention lord english wasn't summoned at all, nor were the parameters for his summoning existed yet. and we jack doesn't have a billiards motif going on yet.
i wonder if this is going to be the end of act, or if it'll carry on a bit. it seems a bit silly if it is, seeing how them ready to pull off whatever shenanigans with the trolls with john on dave's planet not happening yet.
isn't "yet" pretty inconsequential, though?
the demon is everywhen.
yeah, staying on the safe side because it's still a pretty damn good chance that jack is mr.english. there really isn't any evidence to deny it, because there's a pretty big theme in homestuck, foreshadowing and unchangable fate and what not. also I swear to god I hear a meow from mario paint when jade's home gets transported into the medium.
So guys. To host the mirror to this flash, Andrew just made an account on Newgrounds. Now, we run Newgrounds, and we as a group might be his biggest fan. Can we think of any way to exploit this? Like, maybe trick him into accepting a buddy request, and then adding him as co-author to hentai spam flash or something? No wait, this is a bad idea. I had better not push the 'submit reply' button. But I already typed this many words, and surely if I don't submit this post then this will have been a waste of time. But this post is so awful! Um.....
I thought it specifically says that the demon is summoned before his summoning ritual even takes place, that his arrival is just an eventuality?
What I really don't get is what's going on with jade there.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1793868I thought it specifically says that the demon is summoned before his summoning ritual even takes place, that his arrival is just an eventuality?
he's summoned at the end of the universe, and then is free to go back to the start of the universe and act as he sees fit, including orchestrating his own summoning.
~ath binds loops to the lifespan of given things
(~ath, tilde ath, 'til death, yes?)
after the loops terminate, everything following them is executed.
in this case, the universe ends, the loop terminates, and then the subroutine to summon the demon runs.
Although, I thought the medium is outside the normal universe, why wasn't he just summoned into the troll's dead universe?
more formspring yeah
http://www.formspring.me/andrewhussie
i'll rip the good stuff from this whenever's he finished.
and no, I don't think we should do that to mr.hussie at all. he's a pretty good guy, i wouldn't do anything to harass him or anything at all. this guy's got some major respect from me.
that being said though, i could probably get behind making a flash or two to honor (or smite calling him, calling him a dirty heathen that worships the devil's butt).
Wow, he seems a lot more forthcoming than he usually is today.
for lord english, that coat's pretty big, and HB is probably the only one big enough to wear it. aside from that, he's also the only one that's actually been killed (not including alternate timelines, yada yada yada). DD+HB tandem?
idk, just tossing out some thoughts with little base for anything here after seeing a picture of from his predecessor in the problem sleuth extras page.
So the person jack wants to kill most is his own fursona.
it's actually a deep symbolic meaning on how furries ruin everything.
I'm torn between sadness at bro dying and how awesome jack looks wearing bro's shades.QuoteCG: HE THEN WENT ON A RAMPAGE THROUGH YOUR POINTLESS SESSION, WHICH HILARIOUSLY, WAS ALREADY A LOST CAUSE EVEN BEFORE THIS HAPPENED!
that's interesting, though.
Bro? Bro!?!

Okay, I'm done with the obligatory TTGL post.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1794076Okay, I'm done with the obligatory TTGL post.
I read it as a metal gear solid reference and I was like wat
wow, just wow. i don't even know where to start with this.
i guess that blood we've saw on his hand was bro's after all, and seeing davesprite dead is just heart wrecking. seeing how dave's going to react when he find's out bro's dead, davesprite's a goner, and that he's pretty much carrying cal and his shades around as a trophy is going to be pretty interesting.
and I really hope that he uses puppetkind at least once.
homestuck always had the theme of coming of age, and part of dave's issue was always living in his bro's shadow, and having davesprite to watch his back. now that they're both pretty much dead, he's probably going to have a bit of character development from it.
edit: actually, his hand wasn't even bloodied from that.
It looks like Davesprite and Bro...

That's news to me.
aradia's pretty cool, the way I see it's she's a transition from a tragic character into a soldier of fate robot, into a bored robot who's getting really sick of all this predestination bullshit.
nepeta's okay, i kinda dig the innocent vibe she's got going on, but she's still only a minor character so far.
feferi's pretty wacky and cool, she's been getting a good amount of screen time and all, given that she's only been introduced for a little bit.
eridan's on the other side of the stick, being one of the most amazing characters ever (deal ww it), but having little screen time, and falls under the same category as nepeta as minor.
there was a theme for alterniabound made for nepeta, suggesting that andrew was going to have her as a playable character, but for whatever reason that got cut (maybe andrew has some plans for later?)
Eridan, Karkat, Terezi and Gamzee are amazing, deal with it.

? That's all organ.
On the topic of that, though, I would more think that the Piano would better fit Scratch's kind of leitmotif instrument with the organ being reserved for Lord British.
Also, not to music snob too hard on this piece, but he comes back to the same theme far too often for my tastes, and he never develops on it.

organ fuck, no idea why I typed piano. the way that motif strikes me on English's part strikes me as the colors on his overcoat alternating.
giant wind piano's more like it.
Now the fireflies aren't trapped anymore.

Technically if we go by chronology, the piano is a tiny string organ.
I'd put even odds that Vriska is head over heels crushing on John, and John's just gonna be all "er, uh, um, well"

Pfff. There are way too many parallels with Tavros. John is a totally naive, easily-manipulated boy-skylark with a heart of gold, except he's also a rugged bad-ass leader who can fly and has all the luck!!!!!!!!
why do I have the feeling John will say something like he always could do that or something?

His typing has a lot of references to 2. He replaces the letter "s" with 2s, he puts two I's in whenever he uses one because it makes the roman numeral of two, and whenever he uses any variation of to, too, or two it's always spelt "two". Also he's apparently going to die twice as hard.
That concludes this post saying things you were already aware of.

Don't be a wanker and read it. I skimmed it before as well, but checked it immediately finding plot details and a lot of funny shit.
I wouldn't exactly call it integral to the plot yet, though. Only the last couple of pages.
Maybe I'll go back and read it after I finish this act.
it kinda defeats the purpose if you already skipped it and read the next act. the idea of the act was to pretty much establish jack's/slick's villainous nature, to to mention bluh bluh spoilers.
starting to listen to the felt songs in reverse that somebody posted on youtube. it's pretty fucking cool how coherent they sound when played backwards.

welp, jade's land is the land of frost and frogs
kinda answers what kanaya's land must have been too, a constant to whoever has the forge.
Maybe we'll learn something about Bilious Slick.
i still kinda think that billious slick is lord english.
lord english is a play on lord british, being unkillable save for glitches in the game. the prospitains refer to him as the creator, and all the little things frog like (skaia, statues, etc) as sacred. he's pretty much the creator of sburb, just as lord british was the creator of ultima.
derp.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1795307i still kinda think that billious slick is lord english.
I think it's a pretty strong possibility.
So just finished Problem Sleuth yesterday. Shit owned so hard.
I'll probably wait a bit before I start on Homestuck though, I have finals coming up.

derp.
for some reason I want bilious to be a unique agent, largely unrelated to the players, english, skaia, prospit or derse.
also iirc the ultima reference was actually an astonishingly coincidental Sure, Why Not? and not actually planned ahead
in light of this I choose to believe that it doesn't say anything about english's relationship to sburb
Lord English is actually AH himself.

well, if you think about it, billious slick is pretty much worshipped as a god by the prospitains. there's still a pretty heavy frog element going on, and in recent development with jade's planet, not to mention how aradia knows who/what billious slick is, it probably won't be long till we learn more about the guy.
drawing parallels between him and english really have no concrete proof, other than little minor theories, kinda like how he has a game element going on with it (english with the pool thing), and how sburb is loaded with all these little things (chess battlefield, card agents, adventure for the players, and that sim building element for clients). not to mention being green.
also, this recent pesterlog is pretty hilarious, im not sure what to make of her saying he's dead though.
billious slick is Lord English
you heard it here first folks

And the fight scene as Vriska looks like the sprites from the Scott Pilgrim game.
You are just starting off as Karkat. The fact that this looks like your pretty much going to be doing a mirror like story line of the humans makes you sad. You save the game and stop for the night.

Because I have an addiction and no life.
I don't bother remembering any of the trolls names or even their chat acronyms for the most part. I just remember what color goes to who and that's all I've ever needed (apart from the trolls who have their first name used a lot like karkat and vriska)

Oh fuck I've got all 12 of their names, cool.
I never bothered to remember their online handles, though, although I think I remember a couple. centaursTesticle for Equis, adiosToreador for Tavros, somethingCarcinogist for Karkat, gallowsCallibrator for Terezi, and I think that's it.

it's really lame that I know that, but in my defense I didn't make an effort to memorize it or anything. it just happened.
I know most of their full names, too.
RIP Imp.
Quote from: Slurpee;1795685I didn't make an effort to memorize it or anything. it just happened.
Ditto. I also know all of their full names, although I'm a bit iffy on the spelling of Equius' and Nepeta's last names.
Aradia Megido, Tavros Nitram, Sollux Captor, Karkat Vantas, Nepeta Leijon, Kanaya Maryam, Terezi Pyrope, Vriska Serket, Equius Zahhak, Gamzee Makara, Eridan Ampora, Feferi Peixes.
man it's going to be lame if Bec has to step in for every imp fight
Karkat Vantas is such a sick name
I just knew Karkat's last name. Again, I didn't make a concentrated effort to remember the names or anything (except for that one post where I planned to but then got lazy).
I imagine I didn't remember as much as you guys since I went through the comic a lot faster than you guys.
It was easy to me to know their names and nicknames as I know the twelve zodiac signs, nothing too complex.

you guys are chumps, their names, zodiac symbols, and their trolltags are easy to remember, suckers.

"Dumb" works as an onomatopoeia, too.
So I've been thinking about how they're going to beat Jack.
I'm sure Vriska is doomed if she takes him on alone. I think it's going to take all the kids and all the trolls together to beat him, so that kids/trolls meet up is going to have to happen. I also think it's going to take Bec weapons, or maybe Rose can get some sort of help from the outer gods?
I'm really eager to see how the current state of events pans out.
Also I found this formspring question rather funny.

MSPA is a body of work encompassing thousands of ideas.
There are many thousands of animes, also encompassing thousands of ideas.
There is bound to be some overlap.
I also have supernatural powers when it comes to coincidences involving the animes. This should not be overlooked. I have a sort of anime communion. It is my gift.

Tavros can apparently communicate using his mind, but only to certain species(I'd say lusii but Bec is a first guardian)...Vriska used him to manipulate Terezi's lusus and make her blind, after all.
Also I liked how he made a smilie after the whole killing part.
So far, it's been shown he can control:
Horsaroni (fiduspawn)
Ogres
Imps
Terezi's lusus (dragon)
Becquerel (dog/first guardian)
also, grandpa was alive at one point where jade got her shirt, so I doubt that's where grandpa died.
OH NEVERMIND, THAT'D BE A PRETTY HUGE SHIRT FOR A BABY.
oh tavros, tavros tavros. that's not how you build self esteem buddy.
sounds like he's been taking a bit too much advice from vriska it seems.
You need to read Problem Sleuth NOW
you should also read Jailbreak, read the Bard one while you are at it

if tavros doesn't have a facepalm moment after that, im gonna be a little let down.
Quick summon Rufio again.
i guess things didn't go as smoothly between vriska and tavros as initially thought? i mean after that failed kiss scene, they were doing some adventurin' for a while, seemed to be getting alone just fine there.
Aradia needs to kill Vriska again. And make sure she stays dead.
So simply put, Vriska is responsible of Bec's creation?
hahaha, vriska really is the best there is.
Quote from: TequilaClock;1796856So simply put, Vriska is responsible of Bec's creation?
one could argue that everything vriska's done has been bound by the constraints of paradox space.
it's likely another instance of her having seen that something was already going to happen, and buffing up her importance in the narrative by making herself the causation, so it's debatable.
the thing about causality loops and ontological paradoxes is that generally they have no discernible point of origin (except in rare occasions as possibly being the ultimate result of a time loop reaching equilibrium after an unknown number of failed iterations) which is stupid and doesn't make any sense. one of the most amazing things about homestuck is how well hussie manages to sell them just by framing them within the context of paradox space, which implies a greater force at work determining the breadth and limitations of okay wow fuck I'm getting way off point.

get off point all you want! hearing your ramblings about homestuck is a huge fucking treat to read.
DD's diamond spear is really cool, i mean just look at it jesus.
I always kinda had a thing for DD, him being pretty mysterious and all. His agenda beforehand always seemed to only further his own goal, and now finding out Vriska was behind it was pretty cool. She wasn't 100% behind it like she said, I doubt he's that impressionable to begin with, seeing how it was CD's being told to bring up that screen where the MEOW code was.
It's still pretty funny though, since Vriska's trying to involve herself with as many events as she can, she's also becoming more responsible why the trolls session failed so miserably near the end.

A thought I've always had is that they've been banking on this being the alpha timeline solely because the trolls can still communicate with them on it. Why does that have to be the case? Couldn't the real timeline exist beyond the troll's vision, and thus all this predestination bullshit was for nothing?
I always figured that the big fuzzy grey area that the trolls can't see is simply when they are no longer allowed to fuck with the timeline/when the characters go into their universe/when everything stops being preordained.
Or they all die, it could go either way.

Maybe it's just that I don't like Vriska's way of thinking anymore.

Tequila was right. The whole "heir bed" thing did sound fishy
QuoteAG: I had to do this a much less pleasant way. I'm sparing you that indignity.
im guessing having your dreamself replace you yields some time of greater power than you normally would, and vriska's unpleasant way was having a robot beatdown by aradia.
pleasant dreams sweet prince
pshoooooooo
Maybe, this was meant to happen as a good thing. Maybe to reach god levels, your real self must be dead and you must continue as just your dream self?
There can only be one! This is what I imagine must happen to every kid. The boy's real bodies will die, the girl's dream bodies will die.
It happened to Sollux. Maybe at some point it happened to all the trolls.

Quote from: Paranoid;1797524It happened to Sollux. Maybe at some point it happened to all the trolls.
neigh. some of the trolls never used their dreamselves up at all. it's implied that sollux did, since he died twice for whatever reason. it's implied that vriska did too during the robo beatdown in
Make Her Pay.
but everyone else their dreamselves died, not their normal self. karkat, terezi, nepeta, and feferi were the ones confirmed having their dreamselves alive after hiding in the viel before jack destroyed prospit/derse. the other ones may have had their real bodies died, but nothing's mentioned in the comic about it yet.
we know for a fact that it didn't happen to karkat because he didn't even wake up until they were in the veil that was a pretty big deal for a while
if vriska was killing john for no reason then she didn't need to get his permission to put him to sleep
so she probably had her reasons
and, her being vriska, I probably don't need to walk you through them
I just think of it as a more intense version of when kanaya cut tavros in half
we know dreamselves can fly. so that's something.
shot in the dark: dave's dreamself dies and that's why he tells terezi there's no way he's gonna catch up to john.
gonna miss john's vriska clothes. I don't think I mentioned it before, but, yeah. thoroughly hip.
I still think one of the characters should get a frogsuit.

Maybe physical death is required to gain one's full potential of power, and not all of the trolls reached that potential in their session.
Maybe Vriska just didn't want John interfering with her fight with Jack.
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING
(http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/imagebuzz/web03/2010/5/27/17/and-now-you-know-21695-1274994027-12.jpg)
Vriska is currently in her dreamself form, because she has a real arm, not a robot arm. The version of her that was killed did have a robot arm. We also know that she is very high level and very powerful in that specific form from the troll flash game. We also know, from this recent conversation, that Vriska has at least a few god levels.
From all this we can conclude that being dead in "real" form does not hurt your performance in dream form, and does not prevent you from becoming extremely powerful. There's even some evidence that being in dreamself makes you MORE powerful and raises the level cap significantly. maybe having a real body at all is what causes the level cap, meaning john HAD to die to become supergod!
duh
nope john is dead forever. bad end game over.
I would laugh if Dave had to go back in time to save John again.
Quote from: BinaryClock;1797596nope john is dead forever. bad end game over.
Yep. The next adventure will be Jack Noir's journey of ass kicking and children slaying.
Quote from: Kombucha;1797598Yep. The next adventure will be Jack Noir's journey of ass kicking and children slaying.

I want to know if there is some sort of connection with the salamanders glubs and the fish trolls glubs. Or just happens that both of them say glub. But being how complicated Homestuck is, there is probably some connection.

:siren::siren::siren:UPDATE:siren::siren::siren:
i feel bad moreso than WV more than john.
Here are my thoughts.
John is dead. There is no more John. There is now only The Heir. The Heir is neither Jon's dream nor real self, but maybe a combination of them both (fucker can fly). I am actually thinking he has become a Minor God. These god levels may be raising him up from minor to maybe something stronger such as the Outer Gods. I am actually feeling pretty good about these predictions, and think they are probably true.

I am a bit confused now, is Jackerel aware of this whole process or what? I feel that there is still a much worse enemy to be shown.

Well, I don't remember what happened to the white kings staff...
Didn't Jackspers have it the last time?

Quote from: TequilaClock;1797696Didn't Jackspers have it the last time?
Also, wait, so Jade cannot become the Witch of Space because her dream self is dead?
Well
It also kinda looked like John's dreamself died... Or equalled out with real self. So maybe when she tops for ladder her real self will evolve into the witch.
you don't need to die to get your title gosh.
but if you wanna reach the god tier levels on the other hand, your real self's gotta go.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1797713you don't need to die to get your title gosh.
but if you wanna reach the god tier levels on the other hand, your real self's gotta go.
Maybe it's not real self, but maybe there can only be one of you left, and that one will evolve into the god levels.
This doesn't make sense... why did john dieing kill dream john? Up to this point damage and death has never transfered between the two forms. IE when vriska died her dream self was fine.
Quote from: Slurpee;1797621it occurs to me that john might not even know his regular body is dead
He saw his corpse in a dream cloud, pretty sure he knows now
Quote from: TequilaClock;1797696Also, wait, so Jade cannot become the Witch of Space because her dream self is dead?
She can be witch, just not god tier
You know ,this god tier stuff puts a new spin on rose's plan to sacrifice her dreamself to deliver the tumor
Yeah I still think that once you level out and start into god tiers one of you must die/ already be dead and the living one will die/evolve into your god mode.
Dave's lookin baller as fuck, as always.

also it's a stone altar and he was sacrificed on it

QuoteSollux was kissed by a princess, and his dream self woke up and took over as the "real" him, with no additional benefits. John died on his quest bed, which clearly leads to a much more elaborate resurrection. His dream self is taking over, but now as the fully realized Heir of Breath.
Vriska knew this would happen
caaaaaaaalled it
Quoteand it's heavily implied she went through the same process. In fact, she practically stated it outright. We don't know the details yet.
looks like we were all wrong about Aradia beating her to death, though.

hehehe, i was kinda defending this theory a while ago on the mspoopy forums.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1796843i guess things didn't go as smoothly between vriska and tavros as initially thought? i mean after that failed kiss scene, they were doing some adventurin' for a while, seemed to be getting alone just fine there.
unless the event that broke them apart, WAS in fact aradia beating vriska
I just gave Andrew Hussie technical Flash advice. :cool:
Again, I am still confused. It is obvious that Jackerel (... Jackal? that would fit great) is the villain here, but he is yet another cog on this whole paradoxical cycle. If Vriska knew that John was going to be killed, and she also schemed the birth of Bec, could it also mean that he is following a plan as well?
Bluh, whatever.
Quote from: TequilaClock;1797936Jackerel (... Jackal? that would fit great)
http://www.formspring.me/andrewhussie/q/1690515332Personally, I just still call him Jack, its not like he stopped being Jack or whatever. Dude just grew a dog face.
oh god just call him what the characters in the story call him: jack. it's pretty annoying hearing all the I'm a edgy teen fan variations of him, like bequerel noirlecrow and all that dumb shit.
and as from jacks perspective, he's just doing his own thing. sure, he might have some omnipitance here and there, but jack's an element that doesn't give a fuck or not about what rules he breaks, unlike the black/white queen/king's.
For anyone bitter and annoyed enough who is tired of hearing about trolls, or vomit-dripping romance, or black t-shirts, or walls of text, or how it's only the several month long intermission that sucks, or how it's okay for a comic to be garbage just because it does it knowingly and ironically, or the people who claim to love it who knock other webcomics that are guilty of a lot of the same shit, or bad chiptune music we will pay all our mom's money for to own on album, or excuses for why this webcomic is boring and inane as all fucking get-out but you should read it anyway, or how "insane", "amazing", "epic" or "awesome" a particular update is...

Quote from: Thor;1798432uh how did she even know about quest beds wtf
tossing this out as a guest, but seeing how she looked into the minds of the consorts on tavros's planet, there might have been something listed there, or perhaps something terezi found out and told her while on prospit after waking up.
vriska's icon is the sun, which im guessing is going with the title from, "of light" which rose would share as well.
What I wanna know is why they don't have a Quest Recuperacoon.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1798454What I wanna know is why they don't have a Quest Recuperacoon.
noprize: beds were originally an artifact of the game, and the comfortable nonquesty version of quest beds that we're accustomed to were created in the process through which the trolls' influence was felt in the creation of our universe, because vriska liked her quest bed a lot.
(http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/03108.gif)
Looks like a recuperacoon.
I guess you could say so, where john doesn't get any sheets, they don't get any succor slime.
Tavros is pretty disconcerted now.
He may flip the fuck out.
Edit: Same with dream Vriska, now
This is a lot funnier than it probably should be.

He's not a very good troll but that's kind of the point. How can you see him dream of frolicking as Pupa Pan and not find him adorable?
This is great.
Look at all of that blood.
Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood.
There's something about the blood being blue that makes it less creepy. Pretty even.
I'm having so much fun smashing all of these blueberries! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying hahaha!

well the fact that he's a useless piece of shit who can't ever do anything that could be construed as helpful distracts me
trying to show how traumatized tavros was by this experience. it's also p.cool how he's moving along as a character with the fake confidence thing, while still being tavros (wimp).
I just find everything involving Tavros really boring and borderline infuriating
i so know how hearts boxcars feels

I haven't been reading the comic lately but I know what you mean. I had thought by now AH would have given Tavros a paradigm shift in his personality and made him man up. Kind of disappointing.
he is going to stab vriska though?
Quote from: Slurpee;1798741he is going to stab vriska though?
Yeah Tavros is gonna get his ass handed to him prob, but he is definitely going to face up.
remember that what's happening now is a flashback? remember that conversation that tavros had with jade, and that tavros getting completely slammed by vriska? then he said somethin like "yO. yOU'VE BEEN SHITTING OVER ME LIKE FOREVER BUT DON'T DISS MY GIRL JADE. aLSO YOU ARE SPECIAL KIND OF ASSHOLE TO ENGINEER OUR CURRENT SITUATION" and vriska's all like "Pffffffft, you're such a 8a8y you'll just sit there a cry like a little 8a8y :::; )" and tavros is like "i'MA COMIN DOWN THERE TO KICK YOUR ASS" "lol I'd like to see that" "wATCH ME MOTHERFUCKER" "I'll be w8ing <3" "oH SHIT I WAS WARNED ABOUT STAIRS"
That didn't stop being a thing that happened. It is still in the process of happening.

our no-prize was that the codes don't carry from session to session and terezi got the codes from the kids at other points in the timeline and sollux subtracted them without captchaloguing anything
but if eridan can send ahab's crosshairs to jade this no longer holds water!

Maybe he asked someone to take the code to Sollux so he could translate it to the code for the kid's session? Or legendary (piece of shit) items don't have different codes because they are same throughout the universe? Or a wizard did it?

In that case he could've translated the code for Terezi's jet pack too.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1799291i always thought she lost her jetpack or something.
That's not really a problem, after all John lost the Cosbytop too and recreated it later on.
The reason Terezi didn't simply give him the code for her jet pack is because she probably saw him using his own jet pack in the future.
Ok guys late question because I could barely sleep this one out: Can someone explain me what tildeath (or ~ATH whatevs) does at all and why it is supposed to be so relevant to the story?
Because I don't know shit about programming, and so far only thing that I understand is that it activates shit to happen after someone dies.
So, what did Karkat's code do, again?

So, what did Karkat's code do, again?
Karkat's codes do nothing but screw up computers because he's bad at programming.
Sollux's Mobius Double Reacharound Virus, which Karkat ran, blew up Karkat's computer and cursed him, everyone he knows, and everyone he'll ever meet.
Sollux had an ~ATH program on his computer that he deleted, but is running elsewhere in paradox space. It is bound to the life of their universe, and when it ends, it runs a sub program that summons Lord English. Of course, Lord English already exists because of his time powers.
I thought the way the Double Reacharound virus cursed everyone was by killing their lususes, or did I just misread something?
Another day, another exploding robot. IT KEEPS HAPPENING.
Quote from: topcatyo;1799412I thought the way the Double Reacharound virus cursed everyone was by killing their lususes

god damn it jade why aren't you using your god tier weapon wtf
Ok thank you, I was getting confused why so many people were mentioning Karkat's code in another forum through the comic's progress months ago, I was like WHAT THE HELL DOES IT HAVE TO DO
that grandson thing is bothering me. There's no way Hussie would introduce 3 brand new characters with no foreshadowing this far in just to close that loose end. There must be some way that the kids end up being the parents of one of the guardians, thus making john and dave jade's grandkids
plus if jadexdave and johnxrose both had kids they would be first cousins and that's kind of gross
Quote from: Thor;1799434plus if jadexdave and johnxrose both had kids they would be first cousins and that's kind of gross
but isn't that what the trolls had been implying (not the cousins part)? though the kids don't seem to take the idea seriously
Quote from: ButtplugClock;1799436but isn't that what the trolls had been implying (not the cousins part)? though the kids don't seem to take the idea seriously
ok first the trolls wouldn't even know because they can't see more than one day into the future and I kind of doubt the kids are going to be poping out love babies that fast. second the incest obsession with the trolls is just how their breeding system works, if hussie tried to make the humans incestuous too it just wouldn't be right
Quote from: Thor;1799434There must be some way that the kids end up being the parents of one of the guardians, thus making john and dave jade's grandkids
I don't think that's possible. They're all their own paradox clones.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1799439I don't think that's possible. They're all their own paradox clones.
maybe the grandson is Dad somehow.
Oh no wait I got it!
Dad is Dave and Jade's son (his name is even a combination of their names)
he gets sent back in time somehow
Dad and Mom have a kid together
they travel back in time somehow (along with Grandpa who goes on to die and be stuffed)
that way only one new character need be introduced
I was gonna say, with Dave, the whole going back in time to create a grandson wouldn't be too much of a problem. I was gonna say that Dave and Jade went back in time and then their son married Nanna, and then Dad is the grandson. Idno. Dad is the only anomaly this game has shown us as far as characters go. And by anomaly, I mean having a normal reproductive birth.

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1799445I was gonna say that Dave and Jade went back in time and then their son married Nanna, and then Dad is the grandson.
but nanna is jades mom. that would mean the kid had a child
with his own grandma I guess incest explains why Dad was born without eyeballs.

troll tears are the color that their blood is, and sollux seems to have a pretty safe distance from the BOTSPLOSION.
tbh, i think he's going to lose his eyesight whenever the two universes die out for whatever reason, him having vision twofold and whatnot, and his glasses colors each representing a universe.

Wait, so since she can now look at the clouds over the battlefield at any time, doesn't that mean that she effectively gets her powers of foresight back, if via a roundabout means?
Now if Jade can just find the teleporting device thingy she can combine it with her goggles and have just as much control over space as Dave has with time, actually, more.

he didn't go blind when he ate the honey, in fact we saw him use the eye blast without the honey at all before. he used the eye blasts to kill aradia before, and he didn't go blind then too.
Every troll cries tears with a slight hue similar to their blood btw, nothing new.
Also, stupid Dave, stop dying all the time.
jeeeez dave stop dying you are like the worst at this game
only aradia is worse but she was dead before we started playing so at least she has an excuse.
I only remember dave dieing three times, that's pretty good considering he's been playing the game like 50 times longer than most of the other kids and has basically infinite lives. John and Jade both only had 2 lives and they've both died once in the short time they've been playing
WELL THAT WAS PRETTY SUDDEN, EVEN IF FORESHADOWED FROM THE VERY START.

I doubt he got in a fight with another troll so... Maybe he was doing some weird ritual? Or maybe this is farther in the future after a fight...
Isn't Gamzee pissed because he just watched the Miracles music video? Or is this before/after that?
gamzee's finding out the true meaning of miracle, instead of tossing it around everywhere.
alternatively, gamzee's blossoming into a fine young woman.

bard of truth, gonna call that his title for a few reasons.
most of their titles fit their class, (vriska being a thief, terezi being a seer), and the title they get after that is supposed to challenge them somehow. karkat being of blood (obviously why), and eridan being of hope.
following this pattern, gamzee's title would have to be something that challenges him. which kinda makes you look at his beliefs, AKA MiRaClEs. gamzee always played everything off as calling it a miracle and being satisfied with it, never content to be knowing the truth.
my two cents of an educated guess, next to the obvious bard of quest joke that's been going around forever.
I won't deny Gamzee is a very interesting character. On a big way as we really do not know enough about him and he blindly does not care about the truth as he prefers his personal perspective of the universe. I'll tell ya, he could make a rad villain, but Hussie has tricked me on who wears the bad guy's time fabric coat pants a couple of times already, so I dunno.

Also now Huss is wearing Dave's sweet-ass suit and that lady is wearing Jade's new dress.
Wild Mass Guessing abounds...
Also, Ms. Paint is a hilarious pun and I don't care what anybody says.
She's back in black.
Shit, so, like, after a recap/chapter end there's usually a bit of a wait before updates resume, right?
Ah well, Huss deserves it.

My, does't Lord English's emblem bear a striking resemblance to Dave's...
I thought this too but then you realize that Lord English wears an Overcoat and that emblem is on the Felt suit that Andrew is wearing UNDER the overcoat.
I'd sorta be disappointed if Dave is Lord English, though who knows maybe it could be pulled off.
I am predicting some shit like the readers being Lord English or something like that.
Who.
Knows.
Hamburger Clock is Lord English.
He's the king of clocks.

speaking of the doomed timeline, it kinda makes you wonder about the importance of whether or not that alternative timeline john was killed, given this

Either way it's always nice when a character does what you were hoping they would do.

Quote from: Slurpee;1800872I like wacky antics and megalovania
tribal ebonpyre reminds me of something out of a banjo-kazooie game which is pretty rad, three in the morning (pianokind) is a nice mashup between that and showtime, Squidissension is pretty cool after hearing it normally being all cheerful and jazz.
megalovania is pretty fucking rad with spider's claw mixed in with it, and Gaia Queen is pretty fitting for echidna's theme. i was a big fan of How Do I Live Without You, but I Don't Want to Miss A Thing didn't have the charm the other one had.
elevatorstuck and gamebro were just fucking charming.
Nic Cage Song is my favorite.

So much ghost kissing in this comic
Quote from: Thor;1800979So much ghost kissing in this comic
that whole scene was a callback to aradia+equis, which was a callback to descend, which oh fuck it,
Quote from: andrewformspringThere seems to be a disturbing amount of people that are exciting over the idea of Jade and Jadesprite kissing in the next panel. You have a great and terrible power. Take care in it's use.
This is the power of the visual callback.
Some people scratch their heads over them and wonder what's the deal. This is not actually THE deal with them, but it demonstrates something they can accomplish.
What has happened here is a secondary, hidden joke has been told in parallel with the events taking place. Because these frames are direct mods of earlier panels conveying a similar scene but a totally different situation, the reader, if alert, remembers exactly what should come next. Hence we have an "extra" joke in addition to all the obvious points of humor. You are caused to imagine these two are about to kiss, and that is funny and absurd.
This cannot be accomplished nearly as directly without the visual callbacks. But this does not mean every time we see such a callback, there is a similar joke being cracked. It's not quite that simple or literal.
But using them frequently is important for setting them up for use in situations like this. You can't really just pull one out of a hat without establishing the tendency to do so. The callbacks have been woven into the fabric of normalcy first, to the point where they hardly raise an eyebrow anymore, while still demanding your recognition when they happen.
Having established them this way, there are other more subtle purposes they can serve as well. Not just jokes. Sometimes they illustrate contrast in situation. Like when Davesprite defended sleeping Dave, that panel was reused when future Dave stood over sleeping doomed Dave, contemplating whether to kill him. Pretty contrasting moments, and the callback invites such reflection.
Same with the Jadesprite callback. It wasn't just the joke being communicated. It also echoed the first time it was used, when Dream Jade slapped Dream John trying to wake him. Now situation is somewhat reversed. Dream Jade (Jadesprite) is being slapped by Real Jade. That character's role in the scenario has transmuted from heroic to pathetic.
None of this reads at all, or is put in the spotlight for consideration, without the callbacks.
speaking of that, andrew hussie is the first thing to come up when you google formspring, and bandcamp's top five albums are homestuck albums ha.
so uh
was jade going to start making out with john if he had woken up during decent?
that's sick he's her brother ew ew

oh.
so AH shut down the andrewhussie formspring account and opened up a new one with a new direction (http://www.formspring.me/mspadventures)
QuoteThis is the Formspring account for MS Paint Adventures, dot com, the website.
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/
The old FS account, andrewhussie, has been discontinued, having collapsed under the weight of 1200+ unnavigable, unsearchable questions, most of which were silly and wildly "off topic". (re: there was no topic.)
I have saved all of those questions and will comb through them at some point to select the most interesting ones and display them elsewhere, in a manner that is easy to browse, an arrangement they did not enjoy in Formspring's ponderous and entirely nonexistent archival system.
I will also try to keep things more OT with this account, and address stuff that people presumably give a shit about, and try to keep the nonsensical haggling to a minimum, as well as avoid bringing to light questions of no substance. All of that was done with a spirit of amusement, though some people surely disagreed with its humorous merit. They were probably right! What do I know.
You may now ask me a question. This account is like a new Chia Pet fresh out of the box, and you have the privilege of applying the disgusting coat of mud to the orange ceramic surface, getting grossed out, and regarding your purchase with a deep sense of remorse.
You may also liken the account to a new kit of Sea Monkeys you just purchased for some baffling reason. That's fine too.
maybe now he'll relieve my burning sperg and answer my boring questions about the temporal mechanics of paradox space.
Quote from: meDoes the fact that Spades interacted with Karkat at the end of the intermission mean that the alpha timeline for the intermission is the one where everyone died, or is the temporal feedback from the crowbar not bound by the constraints of paradox space?
I MUST KNOW.
If the alpha timeline is one defined by the safe door not having an effect on the timeline doesn't that mean the post-reckoning Alternian alpha timeline is one in which the safe was not the primary motivating factor for The Midnight Crew getting into English's mansion and that it would require the consciousness (or perhaps physical body) of the Spades Slick from a beta timeline (the one where HB was punched out of the calendar, hereafter referred to as Spades β) to even care about it? If so what was Spades α's purpose for going in there and leveling the mansion in that timeline prior to interference from Spades β, and for that matter why does English's vault contain an exile console, of what value was it to Spades, and does it have anything to do with the mechanics by which exiles rebuild post-victory sburb sessions?

christ where do I begin with this. spoiler's below, mouse over at your discrection.
jack slicing feferi in half was a pretty hilarious opening to the pan out to derse, then another humorous follow up with jack stabbing nepeta, and shoving her aside with the DOOF. god tier aradia raises some questions, one of them being why the fuck her quest bed was on Derse and not her home planet. since her dream self died on the bed, im guessing the god tier ascension works either way (realself/dreamself sacrifice).
the scene between tavros and vriska was amazingly well done, most of it being a callback between the bro/dave fight, and the part where she taunted him with her legs jesus christ. poor tavros though, im guessing he'll probably be fine? he's fallen down his fair share of cliffs/stairs before, and troll's are pretty tough.
the pacing with the music was amazing, megalovania fitted this extremely well. andrew's pretty damned good with timing, cue the spider's claw part of the song when vriska comes in.
god damnit vriska.
that was super cute right up until she impaled him and threw him off a cliff.Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1802845god tier aradia raises some questions, one of them being why the fuck her quest bed was on Derse and not her home planet. since her dream self died on the bed, im guessing the god tier ascension works either way (realself/dreamself sacrifice).

apparently so, even

I'm such a fucking masochist, I keep hoping against hope that Tavros is going to get something accomplished, he's my favourite troll and I want to see him do something other than fall down things!!

As much as I liked Tavros, it'd be a lil interesting to see someone be dead-dead for once. You just know there's going to be a breeze sign under his blood or something, though.
Yeah, I imagine he's just going to reach god tier or something.

Third consecutive post to say that I have no idea what you are talking about.
I think I need to check back in the Felt intermission. I might have missed something.
actually, tavros's dreamself may still be alive.
QuoteAG: Prospit dreamers are supposed to end up there eventually. If they're any good, that is. ::::)
He could have been flung to Skaia as he was frolicking.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1802893actually, tavros's dreamself may still be alive.
I'm pretty sure they're supposed to end up on the battlefield because in a regular game session that's the only way to make it all the way through the incipisphere- die on quest bed, reawake on battlefield, fight the black king and queen.
it's just all of the characters are cheaters with broken sessions. prospit doesn't normally crash into skaia, and players don't normally have jetpacks.
as for tavros, a quest bed in the veil and a living dreamself seems unlikely, especially after that ridiculously improbable twist with aradia we just saw, but, if he died, wouldn't his trollian timeline grey out?
we're still operating within the constraints of predestination; surprise deaths aren't supposed to happen.
my guess is we're seeing a beta timeline. afaik beta timelines are typically defined by their inability to resolve contradictions with an established future, and to me it just seems reasonable that somebody would have checked the in-veil trollian timelines for the trolls, and, if tavros died, noticed. the maid of time just ascended into godhood and is one of three characters besides vriska with a hand in this particular deck.
JADE CONSORTS YEAH. or at least a screenshot of their heads. I'm more amazed by that than the actual foreshadowing with rose.
Secret Wizard Crocodile and Turtle.
It just hit me that both Vriska and Aradia's butterfly/moth/whatever god-mode look makes sense in the point they are insects after all. Humanoid insects made of candy.
So yeah that.
but how can jade's consorts be rose's acolytes, if they have no robes to behold!!
A wizard without robes to behold is like a proper gentleman without a monocle. That is to say, HE CAN HARDLY BE CONSIDERED A TERRIBLY PROPER GENTLEMAN AT ALL.
Quote from: BinaryClock;1803005but how can jade's consorts be rose's acolytes, if they have no robes to behold!!
They're still going through the initiation process.
There is a lot of ritualistic hazing in the Secret Wizard Clan, probably involving paddles and beer kegs.
By the way, it's a good thing the lusus egg/ovary/whatever is back at sight. I had completely forgetten about it.
I say whatever a lot on this thread.
Whatever.
So even though Tavros is dead can't Feferi just bring him back to life by kissing him?
Quote from: Thor;1803027So even though Tavros is dead can't Feferi just bring him back to life by kissing him?
that's assuming his dreamself is alive, which there's kinda evidence on both sides of it.
I think you're all in denial about Tavros. I think he really has been killed off for real.
is it ok to be confused when reading this thread ?

His dreamself is dead, as well as his real self. Effectively, at that point of the timeline, Tavros is dead.
However, remember the Maid of Time. I wouldn't wonder if she somehow meddled with the events.

tavros spent a good deal asleep doing who knows what, it wouldn't be a stretch to say he wound up on skaia.
also, in alterniabound, when karkat talks to tavros, tavros says he didn't see the demon, then said
QuoteoH, mAN, yEAH SKY FROLICKING WAS PROBABLY DEFINITELY THE THING i WAS PROCCUPIED BY
which sounds kinda of fishy, even for tavros there. afaik, tavros is just taking karkat's word that his dreamself died.

Quote from: TequilaClock;1802889Third consecutive post to say that I have no idea what you are talking about.
I think I need to check back in the Felt intermission. I might have missed something.
missed this yesterday
it's more than likely not a big deal. I was half-joking.
the only thing that's had any consequence from the intermission is we came away with an impression of the characters, and we found out spades was an exile from the trolls' session.
I don't think the internal logic is supposed to matter.
it's there, but really only for spec-fic geeks to nerd off over. (which I do, at length.) the presentation of the chronal logistics is fairly disparate from the rest of homestuck from a story-telling perspective. the whole joke of it is how insane the logic becomes, especially vs. how little the protagonists care.
The troll planet is in a different universe than the kids right? So when lord english is created it won't actually matter because he'll just be in the obsolete troll universe.

ffffffffff
Tavros was just likable, but Feferi was, like, the kind of important one vis a vis post-dreamself-death dreaming. I was still waiting for whatever she was doing with Jade to start making sense.
I was going to say the beta timeline theory from just after Tav died might still hold water, and we're waiting for Aradia to go back and stop everyone from killing each other, but Kanaya: Return starts with Terezi reacting to one of the Daves dying. I'm backtracking now to that point in the story (http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005089) but I'm having a little trouble hammering out the mechanics.
Still weeping in the hornpile over Tavros. Never been a fan of Feferi, even though she shares my birthsign.
I know you're holding out for a beta timeline, Slurpee, but Feferi dying is stable. Jade already talked to her d-eadself.
I don't think AH would really backtrack all the way to Jade: Wake Up.
That said, I've been wrong before many times in this thread's history. :P
honk honk

Wow, what is with all of these dead trolls all over the place???
Also Kanaya will definitely be feeling some guilt for having given the wand to Eridan.
i predict every character will die twice or three times
Nepeta will die nine times.

yeah eridan owns, i was kinda expecting this from his character early on back in hivebent, but this blows that out of the water.
come to think of it, eridan being the one that blinds sollux was kind of foreshadowed in this (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004947) conversation. that nightmare dream that jade had makes plenty of more sense now. eridan going off to join jack doesn't really strike me as a surprise really, i always kind of expected him to betray feferi back in hivebent after all that breaking up as morails jazz. can't wait to see the other characters react to that.
also whatever shenanigans that terezi/nepeta/gamzee/equius is up to.

EDIT: Also, I don't get why no one can accept that these characters have been killed off forever. The trolls' session is already over. There's no reason plotwise that they can't die now.
so he is killing everyone now eh
why so drama, AH?
Quote from: Slurpee;1802936as for tavros... if he died, wouldn't his trollian timeline grey out?
we're still operating within the constraints of predestination; surprise deaths aren't supposed to happen.
Quote from: http://www.formspring.me/mspadventuresSo it appears we have a couple of deaths on our hands, possibly with more coming, but why is is that the screen tracking the timelines of the trolls heading into the rift still has all the ttimelines as alive when we've seen trollian tracks death?
It would have been completely ridiculous to black out all the timelines for the trolls who were going to die. Readers would have a checklist in advance, and that would be boring. This reason itself is more than enough to excuse that minor technical oddity with the Trollian interface.
But if we really need an explanation, who's to say that feature is permanently enabled? Maybe there's some obscure checkbox somewhere in the application that says "Show who's dead."
that's an unusually weak explanation for a lack of cohesion in mspa
my disappointment has been unleashed and is wreaking havoc across the countryside of my psyche. I ripped all the pictures and posters of andrew hussie off my walls and I'm posting this while weeping naked in the shower.

How exactly?
Quote from: TequilaClock;1804184How exactly?
They're been relying on the trolls for directions. If the trolls all kill each other, they'll have no idea what to do. Of course, they might figure it out on their own, but it'll be a lot harder for them.
Kanaya and Eridan should have a rap battle.
this isn't a grimdark story where everyone's going to die, there was a formspring answer about why andrew's doing what he's doing, hold on while I dig it up.
It's a biznasty story where everyone gets served.
QuoteQuoteSo what are your thoughts on killing off characters? Killing off feferi, was that a big decision or a whim?
I wouldn't call it a big decision, but it wasn't a whim. Nothing going on right now is spontaneous at all.
QuoteQuoteIs the troll killing off a method of maximizing on the more 'central' trolls (Fairy God Trolls) or is it something more toward a contribution to the central plot (Ascend to god tier or become a spooky ghost lady or whatever?)
Why don't we keep this simple.
It is not about pruning the expansive character roster.
It is not about challenging myself to find new elaborate ways to make death impermanent either.
It's about making something entertaining.
Every decision I make is with the intent to produce something entertaining, whether due to humor, an elevated sense of suspense, promoting investment in characters, advancing intrigue, or what have you.

Here's hoping they don't pull that goofy-ass movie ploy where everyone else suddenly thinks Karkat's the one that killed them.
eridan's choice of killing was pretty diabolical if you think about it. with no hope of getting any of the quadrants out of feferi, sollux is going to be pretty mad about it (kismesis), and with the village auspiticing device out of the way (kanaya).
eridan's choice of killing was pretty diabolical if you think about it. he was going to be no relationship out of feferi whatsoever, and by killing her, he pretty much is going to give sollux a reason to give a 2hiit. and with kanaya, number 1 meddler/auspitice out of the way, i doubt anything's going to stop that blackrom from getting on.

came here to post this
but since I'm here I might as well yammer
not gonna front I never really cared about gamzee all that much. it was cool that he was chill, but chill dudes are everywhere in fiction and it's really hard to like a juggallo even under the best of circumstances.
I liked kanaya and tavros, don't think I have to explain that, and feferi was okay, but I really cared about her insofar as how her death would effect the exposition because I REALLY want to know what's going down with the outer gods.
but this? now I understand the people that were saying tavros dying was the most interesting thing that could have happened to him, because gamzee going crazy is the most interesting thing that could have happened to him. the foreshadowing seems more than a little inadequate in retrospect, so I'm not sure about its strength in terms of plotting, but a large part of me is like whatever dude at least he finally gets to do something.
to go down the chumproll:
aradia blew up,
godmode'd in derse, has not been seen since
tavros was
killed by vriska, arguably in self-defense
sollux is
knocked outkarkat is
alive, and in trouble, stranded in the veil alone with a killer clown, a killer wizard, and a killer spider on the loose, and apparently he's got some corpse issues to worry about as well.
nepeta is
unaccounted forkanaya is
dead and the matriorb is gone
terezi is
alive in the bowels of the meteor apparently weeping over a dead dave, but presumably okay. tavros' impaled body is either about to crash down next to her or already has, I'm not sure about the exact timeline.
vriska is
fine. she has all the luck. she probably has already forgotten about murdering tavros and is probably kissing her nic cage poster and manipul8ing an oblivious human or something.
equius is
unaccounted forgamzee flipped his shit after he saw the miracles video and I guess is in
slasher movie modeeridan is
trying to join jack noir. killed kanaya and feferi, ko'd sollux
feferi's dead.
that's three killers, three bodies, one incapacitated, two m.i.a., and three arguably fine.
you know why this feels weird? there's at least three separate inciting motivations for the trouble, all happening at once. the trolls' session is over- we've seen them all kicking it with only slight hints of true antagonism both in the memos and
karkat: wake up. it just seemed natural that they'd gotten over their bullshit. in some ways a lot of it can be drawn back to jack and their apparent (from their perspectives) impending doom, but the conflicts extend from almost the entire arcs of the characters involved. it seems like they're coming to a head in a really unlikely span of time.
I was thinking maybe the real causational reason there were so many fucking aradias during the game is the trolls were trying to murder each other every 5 god damn minutes and she was constantly being forced to time travel to reverse it, and, now that she's otherwise engaged, they're free to kill each other, but the timing of this gamzee thing is so unlikely that it's kind of casting everything in a stark light. it just doesn't feel right. like bad dream logic.
what strikes me more as sudden is how nearly all the trolls are off doing their own thing in different directions now. pre act 5, they were all "trolling" the kids in a sense, but still working together. even with act five, they were all united with the common goal of trying to figure a way out of the doomed session with noir lurking about (even if some were pretty mopey about it).
heck when vriska stated she was doing her own thing regardless of what the others were doing/saying, that was a pretty big step. now we have dead trolls, evil trolls, psychotic trolls, and others doing things we have no idea yet.
with gamzee going psychotic, it really struck me as their group in the veil falling apart, karkat wanting them to stick together (under his leadership) to have a plan. most of them shrugged it off it seems, but still he was one of things holding everything together. the deaths of certain trolls just solidifies the fact that it's all starting to fall apart, regardless of jack's impending doom.
with eridan going traitor, and killing off kan/fef, you kind of have to wonder if this was sburb's plan from the start. he's the prince of hope after all, and his goal isn't to create hope, but rather destroy it, which leads to his planet. he mentioned the angels were prophesying about jack ushering in the end (come to think of it, sollux did in the first half of the act as well). he seemed pretty content with destroying angels, which comes to the point that if sburb, or whatever driving force behind it wants him to go join noir.
the relationships between the trolls is starting to crumble (not in the quadrant sense), and no matter what happens, we're in for quite a ride now.
god damn.

never got much of an impression of cg's combat ability. most of his strength has been in his character... although, come to think of it, I guess he IS the knight of blood.
but given that eridan just took on sollux, fef, and kan in rapid succession, kk's got to think pretty highly of his own abilities, and as big a game as karkat talks I don't think he's ever been shown overestimating his combat prowess.
so we're talking

vriska

I dunno I guess it's just not really what I would have expected two weeks ago.
also, coda: I fully expect that terezi's going to outclass vriska with a degree of finality at some point- not to say she'd be above vriska on that list- she probably couldn't stand up in terms raw power, but she's damn savvy. the one constant between these two is that vriska can't measure up to terezi outside of combat. terezi
gets things on a fundamental level that vriska doesn't.

not calling a stone cold vriska comeuppance, because I'm not sure it's coming, and tbqh I'm not even sure if I want it to be (although tav's body crashed in a very convenient place to set that up). I just expect terezi to have another one of those moments where she pulls something mad badass without really even lifting a finger, and who better to be on the receiving end than queen hubricarus murderscheme?
or maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see because I love those two going at it so much.
yeah, terezi still considers herself vriska's rival, even if she doesn't want to admit it I'd say. Personally I think vriska's streak of luck is going to end with WV, as that dream foreshadowed, wouldn't be surprised if terezi played her hand in that somehow, especially with her killing tavros.
oh hey new update. karkat going back to tell eridan he's going to kill him probably saved him, seeing how the mentioning of that pact was a prime example of a self fulfilling clusterfuck.

I wouldn't say it's the unknown that makes him terrifying. It's a strange transition: he's been so completely peaceful before and now he wants to murder everybody ever. That's a big jump.
I think it's more the dialogue that makes him terrifying. Clearly Karkat knows that Gamzee is super powerful, and he has evidence because of how Gamzee appears to be the most powerful out of everybody (pre-God mode Vriska and Aradia). Then that's when he says things like:
QuoteTC: THEN GET MOTHERFUCKIN SCHOOLFED ALL ABOUT THE WICKED NEWS, PUNCHLINE BLOODED MOTHERFUCKER.
TC: it rots you.
TC: RUSTS YOUR MOTHERFUCKIN THINK PAN.
TC: and the floor all stares up back at you through the motherfuckin hole.
TC: BUT THERE IS NO HOLE NOW.
TC: only under motherfuckin standing of who all i was made out to be all along.
TC: ONLY UNDER MOTHERFUCKING STANDING OF WHO ALL I WAS MADE OUT TO MOTHERFUCKING BE ALL A MOTHERFUCKING LONG.
What would you make of any person saying things like this? If you aren't convinced this person is crazy, then he says this:
QuoteTC: i've been kicking the wicked ignorance on this shit.
TC: BEEN MOTHERFUCKIN SLAUGHTERING THE WICKED IGNORANCE, BRO.
TC: all up in lifelong denial about my calling.
TC: AS A DESCENDANT OF THE HIGH MOTHERFUCKIN SUBJUGGLATORS.
TC: we are higher than you, brother.
TC: WE ARE HIGHER THAN MOTHERFUCKIN EVERYBODY.
TC: honk.
If the person still hasn't convinced you that they're completely fucking out of their mind with this ("maybe he's realizing how noble his bloodline is!"), then he says this:
QuoteTC: and now i'm the last one, so i finally motherfuckin understand.
TC: I FINALLY GOT MY MOTHERFUCKING UNDERSTAND ON TO WHO THE MIRTHFUL MESSIAHS ARE.
TC: they were always both me. :o)
TC: AND ALSO MOTHERFUCKING ME. Do:
Now everybody, even the slow ones, has a clear idea of what is happening here: Gamzee has gone motherfucking mental and there is nothing you can do to help him.
QuoteTC: and now.
TC: AND MOTHERFUCKING NOW.
TC: i am going to motherfuckin kill all you motherfuckers.
Oh and he's going to kill everybody. We still haven't found out that he was the most powerful person in the fight yet, but we get a clear idea from Karkat that he's an entity to be feared.
QuoteTC: I AM GOING TO MOTHERFUCKING KILL ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.
TC: and paint the wicked pictures with your motherfuckin blood.
TC: FROM YOUR VEINS WILL DRIP MY MIRACLES.
TC: your crushed bones will make my special stardust.
TC: WELCOME TO THE DARK CARNIVAL, BROTHER.
TC: honk.
TC: HONK.
TC: honk.
TC: HOOOOOOOOOOONK.
Honks have never been so scary. Or maybe they have, I haven't been up-to-date on my honk-based horror culture.
Then we have the following memo, where we find out that, as I said before, Gamzee appears to be the most powerful of the trolls as far as we know. Then future Gamzee comes in and now it appears that when Gamzee went insane he also leveled up in the skills "subterfuge" and "lying and pretending that you haven't become murderously insane". Granted, hE iSn'T tAlKiNg lIkE tHiS wHeN rEsPoNdInG tO tHe MeMo, which may draw some suspicion toward him, everybody's lack of interest in the memo appears to be showing that he's getting away with it.
Now, Gamzee starts to play mind games with Karkat and is just trying to get him as scared as possible. Not only is Gamzee insane and murderous but now he's taking joy in the sorry he's causing. Holy shit.
QuoteFTC: i'm all about to be meeting up some friends. :o)
FTC: GOING TO GET PRETTY MOTHERFUCKING FRIENDLY AT THEM REAL SOON.
FTC: i wonder if you can all be at with me in time and make me get my reconsider on?
FTC: MAYBE SPLIT AN ELIXIR LIKE A COUPLE OF CHOICE BROS.
FTC: just like we are... :o)
FTC: ME AND HIM. Do:
FTC: hoooooooooooooooooonk. ;oD
He's using his knowledge of the future to mess with Karkat, knowing full well whether or not Karkat is going to be going to this "meet-up" soon. Also, since this is 42 hours in the future, we know that nobody has stopped him at this point. If he is the most powerful and he's survived that long, who knows how many of the trolls he's killed by then.
Quote from: topcatyo;180454242 hours in the future
this may not be important and I'm not gonna check which one of us is right but I read that as 42 minutes

That exchange between Eridan and Karkat was pretty funny.

SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT UPSETTING DISCOVERY
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1804492yeah, terezi still considers herself vriska's rival, even if she doesn't want to admit it I'd say. Personally I think vriska's streak of luck is going to end with WV, as that dream foreshadowed, wouldn't be surprised if terezi played her hand in that somehow, especially with her killing tavros.
welp
If anything I'm kind of glad that Tavros isn't around to see Gamzee go batshit. He had so few non-abusive relationships, seeing his only real healthy relationship (on Alternia at least) go sour would just be too much :(
On the bright side now karkat knows a clown isn't going to murder him in the next 41 minutes
Quote from: Slurpee;1804551this may not be important and I'm not gonna check which one of us is right but I read that as 42 minutes

Whoops, you are correct.
QuoteThe upset of the upsetting discovery quickly turns to dismay and grief. Adios, sweet Toreadoormat.
You succumb to emotion. Tears are in order, probably. You attempt a sniffle. A wobble of the lip, even.
Alas, the tears will not come. Stupid lousy doomed Dave and your stupid lousy complicity in his death. Getting you all cried out like that.
Hehe
QuoteOh well, whatever. There are more important things at hand to concern yourself with than the flow of teal ocular discharge. A crime has been committed.
And where crime strikes, there is justice to be done.

QuoteOh, of course. It is Gamzee up to his unmistakable charades. He is wandering around somewhere out there in the abyss.
He probably has no idea what sort of danger he is in, with one or more murderers on the loose. Poor guy. You will have to seek him out shortly and offer him protection. You'd feel terrible if you were to lose any more friends.

Hey, guys, you remember that time some future Karkat was talking to past Jade and he was all bubbly and happy toward her? I don't think we've seen him engage in that memo yet. Has it already happened and they didn't bother to point it out? Am I just forgetting?
I'd pull up a link but I'm terrible at finding specific pages in this thing.

This?If so, I imagine it depends on how much time it was since Karkat opened that memo and
this. If he opened it more than six hours and fourteen minutes before the end of the countdown, then yes, it's happened already. But that's impossible, because that was before Karkat thought the kids were important. So no, I don't think it's happened already.
If you're talking about
this, then I have no idea.
I was referring to the first one, yes.
If it hasn't happened yet and Karkat is really happy to talk to Jade then I imagine she might have something to do with him still being alive.
This is all Wild Mass Guessing though.

It's another chess piece monster. The Skaian armies make them based on the prototypings, which is why the monster Vriska fought had two heads, wings, and an udder, and why a musclebeast monster, a winged crab monster, and a seahorse monster all appeared inside giant jars in Past Karkat: Wake Up.

Beep?

yeah those were pretty cool days, I first caught up about three days before the wait for descend. i blew through a bunch of things, and really skipped quite a few things which looking back now i'm all dang. being able to soak in what happens, look back upon it, and reflect is one of the cool things of having to wait for updates.

Quote from: TequilaClock;1806597fill me in?
japanese students are put on an island and told to kill each other
amongst the ones who actually play to win and do a good job of it are a bmf and a hardcore murderin bitch
in the book and manga bmf kazuo kiriyama was a pro ass student that excelled at everything he tried because
he had a brain problem that made him not have emotionsin the movie he was just a
crazy psycho loony that was really good at killing and volunteered for the program 'cause he was a nutty birdhardcore murderin bitch mitsuko souma has a slightly different story in the manga book and movie but basically she was
molested and turned into a crazy killin sex fiendboth of them tear ass through the game and kill a good portion of the other participants without really encountering each other
this culminates toward the end of the story
I'll just do the film version because I remember it best:
a minor character tragically
kills a major player from the ensemble who
only wanted to tell her how much he loves her.
as she's crying
over his body, mitsuko shows up and
ices her from behind. we're shown a flashback to mitsuko's childhood, which reveals
she is actually something of a tragic figure, damaged by her past and not necessarily just a huge bitch.
she mutters something about how nobody comes to your rescue, it's just life, and suddenly she's
riddled with bullets from behind and collapses. bmf shows up smirking and you're like oh fuck.
and then
she fucking springs up screaming her head off like timothy oliphant at the end of scream 2, and goes after him with her sickle and you're like OH FUCK! GET HIM BITCH,
she eventually
succumbs to his ridiculous hail of gunfire and says "I just didn't want to be a loser anymore" =(Quote from: Marlin Clock;1806607Didn't know you were a connoisseur. Did you see the movie or read the books/manga? It actually deals with her pretty differently in the two, but I definitely see where you're goin' on that one.
all of the above

So many mangas, you have to use your mouth.
The Battle Royale Blu-ray will be the first thing I import from another continent.
Also, it's nice to see that Vriska feels bad about what she did, because having 3 psychopathic trolls is a bit excessive. Besides, when you have Evil Gamzee, that's really all you need.

Another subtle troll or are we all just too TTGL inclined?
uh oh, things aren't looking too good for mom and dad.
also, i'm kind of starting to think that alt dave might be lord english. for whatever reason, LE has to be summoned, and whatever events doc scratch is setting up has to to with his summoning. dave has time powers, and probably soon to have quite a bit of knowledge of existence depending on how time flows in horrorterror god bubble land. dave never came to terms with his mortality, and alt dave is no different. not to mention he's still wearing those snazzy felt duds, and he does sound like the person who would keep a cario overcoat for ironic purposes.
That doesn't make sense. If dead dave was lord english there would be at least 3 lord englishs. There isn't just the one dead dave after all.

troll sex fanfic XXX
wonder who the ancestor is, assuming if horns match, and gender doesn't determine the patron troll's gender as well, that throws out kanaya. dualscar is eridan's, and mindfing is vriska's. didn't mention two sets of horns, so that'll toss out sollux. and since they're vulnerable to mind control, that throws out terezi's and aradia's. that leaves:
equius's (pre horn break)
karkat's
feferi's
tavros's
nepeta's
gamzee's.
ruffled hair tosses out feferi and equius, and seeing how she was surprised of the blood color, im guessing it's near the ends of the hemospectrum. going to take an educated guess and say it's karkat's ancestor, just because here (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005370) seems to suggest that his ancestor was a girl, referring to HER.
although a good amount of what happened between mindfang and MYSTERYPATRON mirror's tavros's and vriska's romance earlier on, it's up in the air really.
cept he's dead now.
edit: well, the back of feferi's hair is ruffled, so idk. she doesn't seem like one to be mind controlled though.
edit edit: no wait she has gills fuck.
k
I think the name Less refers to Tavros's ancestor, someone slow to homicide like he was.
I'm really astounded anyone can still be bothered with this comic. I loved it for the first few months but it's just turned into a meandering stream of irresolvable bullshit. It's like Lost x 10.

eheh. okay, I actually wasn't expecting that.

this tensei is pretty fucking good (also did the guitar in megalovania).
Every song that is released breaks down my resolve a little more to actually buy this stuff. Because GODDAMN this album is awesome.

That's just what music is like.
Out of millions of songs and theme's some parts of them gotta be alike.
Take Robo's theme(chrono trigger) and Never gonna give you up.
3:15 - 3:25 of Knife's Edge sounds like the beginning of the Power Rangers theme song. It also sounds like 0:54 - 1:06 of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW_9SGrc4Oo).
Which made me realize the Duke Nukem theme and Power Rangers theme sound similar.
WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
0:30 from heir conditioning remind me of a part of Cirno's theme.

The traditional mythos of vampires is that there needs to be a vampire around to infect another person with vampirism. It's not just some spontaneous thing. This is a problem because none of the living trolls are vampires (not glowing white) and all the other trolls died in the Glub.

Damn, exposed as a fraud right out of the gate!
No, you're right, I use Photoshop. I started out in MS Paint (in fact, the only image on this site done in Paint is the very first one). But I quickly switched to Photoshop. I needed to be able to keep things on separate layers in an organized series of files as the stories built in complexity. "MS Paint Adventures" was what I named the game before any of this became an issue though, and the name just stuck.
All of Problem Sleuth, Bard Quest and Jailbreak (sans the first page) were drawn (and sometimes animated) in Photoshop. Same with Homestuck, except for a few pages made with Flash here and there, to facilitate sound and interactive elements.

guessing the fifth part of code is eridan's, seeing how he's also a flarp player.
8r8k h34ds is blue/red
the kids universe is illustrated being the red, having an extra letter than the trolls universe.
I like that Cal is apparently important to these code shenanigans.
Edit: And now I know why!
going to expand on my I'm a edgy teen LE=doomed dave theory.
doc scratch was cloned from cal, who was dave's dream puppet gone through many time loops and such.
bec was formed from halley, who was grandpa's dog guardian growing up. bec would consider grandpa his master.
since bec was loyal to jade/grandpa, would it be going out on a limb to say doc scratch would be loyal to dave? since Doc Scratch is trying to summon his master, it would make perfect sense if it was dave (or one of the several dead daves in the furthest ring). keyword: summon. being that he already exists (or will exist, fuck this time shit).
dave originally got the felt duds from his poster which he was a fan of, and through all of homestuck, self fulfilling clusterfucks have been a theme (stable time loops).
plus, as dave once said, dead daves are the enemy.
Then... Cal + Magic Cue Ball = Doc Scratch?!
So then where did the ball come from? Is this a chicken/egg paradox?
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1809851since bec was loyal to jade/grandpa, would it be going out on a limb to say doc scratch would be loyal to dave?
He would be loyal to Bro.
DUN DUN
Quote from: TequilaClock;1809853Then... Cal + Magic Cue Ball = Doc Scratch?!
So then where did the ball come from? Is this a chicken/egg paradox?
It's just another stable time loop. Scratch made the cue ball, it was used to create him, and he got sent back in time, allowing him to make the cue ball.

they hide in the troll universe to wait out the reset

Quote from: Slurpee;1810661might mean leaving somebody behind to initiate the scratch though :/ :\ :/ :\
There are alternate timeline Daves, Dave's dream self, and Jadesprite (although, assuming it has to be a dude that does it, like Scratch said, it wouldn't be her).
These kids are mad expendable.
oh.
yeah, tru dat.
I'm just beginning to process this. it's a heck of a curveball.
if the reset is going to make a new alpha timeline, does that make everything that's occurred in the session so far an offshoot? are those handled differently when they exit the boundaries of game sessions?
what of the future earth that the exiles are occupying? is that pre-reset? because they interacted with the kids as we know them. but the fact that they were there at all never seemed to me to be copacetic with the kids' inevitable failure and jack's conquest.
edit: oh! and jade's grandson!
My guess: The story ends and we realize Dave's brother did a whole lot of shrooms and he ended up looking at Lil' Cal while listening to the Animal Collective.

it would make sense if dave had to do it, seeing how his coming of age theme is learning how to deal with his mortality.
the conversation following topcatyo punking everybody about the beep "reset" is funnier in retrospect
also completely unrelated note I am now remembering jadesprite's irritating hysterics
she was probably pulled from the homestuck afterlife that we were seeing a few updates ago and it was probably pretty sweet there and that's probably why she was so sad duh IT IS JUST LIKE SEASON SIX OF BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Quote from: SOME GUY FROM THE MSPOOPFORUMSThe possibility of the Great Undoing resetting everything instead of merely destroying it provides a very, very special bit of motive. Specifically, Lord English's motive.
If the Great Undoing merely destroyed everything, a time-traveling demon who feeds on universes would have no reason to cause it. But a reset?
The situation Doc Scratch has facilitated is as follows:
- The Green Sun, which exists outside of time, will be destroyed.
- A special situation will cause a Scratch, and around the same time, a cross-dimensional Rift.
- The Great Undoing is threatening to take place.
- Lord English has been brought into the Trolls' universe.
If the Great Undoing is a multi-universal reset, then creation - beyond a certain point - will restart minus the power source of First Guardians, who ostensibly are charged with protecting planets that would bear life. Reality will unfold, from far earlier universes (possibly even the first ones), without First Guardians to safeguard them. And a time-traveling Demon who feeds on universes would have access to the very beginning of this chain.
Lord English's plan could be to usurp creation from its very beginning, deprived of its First Guardian protectors, and do with it as he wishes!
That's a motive if I ever saw one.
i really like this idea.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1810671i really like this idea.
But why would a First Guardian be working for Lord English?
Quote from: Cowboy Bebop;1810705But why would a First Guardian be working for Lord English?
Maybe they hate their job.
Quote from: Cowboy Bebop;1810705But why would a First Guardian be working for Lord English?
probably because he wants to die, or his loyalty to his master outweighs his duty as a guardian.
hopefully this mean we'll be seeing the denizens soon if jade needs to get the quills from echidna, (or the bunny I guess) also, starting to lean towards is might be john finishing the scratch, seeing how he was on dave's planet when act5act2 began.
actually no fuck that, this shit's been foreshadowed since we saw dave's shirt symbol get cut in two.

Quote from: TequilaClock;1812929Yeah I recall that, but when does Dream Rose acquire the wallet?
Dream Rose might actually never get it, but I think she probably will because it's a really convenient way of carrying the Tumor, which WV is about to deliver to her.
Of course CD will backstab WB, eventually

Uh oh.
The hussmaster needs to update or somthing
rose walkaround! totally called it about three hours before it updated.
When rose entered the first room with the curtains, pretty sure that was a nod to the acts so far. Acts 1-4 being all red, representative of the kid's universe, Act 5 being split into the blue/red curtain, referring to Act5p1(hivebent) and Act5p2. The reset mechanism (beat mesa w/e) is on the end of the act 5p2 curtain, going to go on a limb and say the scratch happens.
Now, after the scratch, the first five green curtains are opened already, with the sixth one being the only one shut. Going on another limb to say the green curtains represent the reset world, with act 6 being unrevealed.
I like Rose's talking sprite.
QuoteThey wait for he who would drop it like it's hot whilst the pimp's in the crib.

Quote from: Slurpee;1815565surely you've picked up some semblance of the goings-on?
Yeah I mean I think I understand most of it but all of the time travel is still fucking with my mind. Like all the shit Jade influenced with sending the packages around in time and also how the exiles relate to the story. I get the former white queen and the parcel mistress I think but I have to read up on the vagabond and the renegade because that whole intermission shit with the black queen and spades slick and shit just kind of blew my mind.
Some of this will be in spoilers because I'm not sure how far you are and how much you actually know.
Quote from: Rum;1815567Yeah I mean I think I understand most of it but all of the time travel is still fucking with my mind. Like all the shit Jade influenced with sending the packages around in time
If you're not already there yet, this will make perfect sense by the end of Act 4.
Quote from: Rum;1815567and also how the exiles relate to the story. I get the former white queen and the parcel mistress I think but I have to read up on the vagabond and the renegade
Wayward Vagabond was the Wayweary Villein,
a Dersite tenant farmer living on Skaia who, after having his life ruined by war, led the Skaian armies in a rebellion against the Black King. Aimless Renegade was the Authority Regulator, a Dersite policeman-like agent. I'm guessing that if you know about Parcel Mistress and the impact of Jade's package then you know about him.
Quotethat whole intermission shit with the black queen and spades slick and shit just kind of blew my mind.
Snowman and Spades Slick are actually in another universe, and are from a different game session than the kids' session.
the intermission is largely irrelevant.
it was a way to introduce the complexities of the time-travel mechanics (before scaling them back tremendously) and to let readers get to know Jack/Spades, et al.
it ties in, but the plot footprint is actually pretty small.

Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1815892schrodinger's cat mystery finally solved.
refresh my memory
Quote from: TequilaClock;1815893refresh my memory
I think he's referring to the
lengthly and confusing chatlog between terezi and dave about dave not reaching god tier preceding the still unexplained
LUCK DO3SNT 4CTU4LLY M4TT3R >8] and presumably taking place (for dave) shortly after this conversation (the one we're seeing now). it culminated in a nod to shrodinger's cat, and one of many baffling
Silver Spoons references.
we got a better idea about what fraymotifs were, and learned that dave was not destined to hit god tier and that paradox space would fuck his shit up for trying to change that.
tbqh I failed to understand why there would be
a timeline split at that moment of decision, though, because, to the best of my understanding, homestuck, for all its brevity, has not espoused the Everett interpretation. I was under the impression beta timelines were triggered from a time-travel shenanigan interfering with a previously established chain of events- i.e. they don't go in a different path from the main timeline so much as they
go wrong in some way that will later be prevented and reversed. more of a splinter than a fork.
aaaaand I'm not quite sure what polyhedron's talking about because the only thing I'm reading out of the recent updates is a weird coincidence with the question of luck. weird because this dave wouldn't know terezi said it didn't matter yet, weird because terezi wouldn't know dave asked about it before she said it, when she said it, weird weird weird.
look at how helpful I am hahahaha

Listening to the new album.
Frost reminds me of that song from the end of The Mist.
Light was pretty good. I think my favorite Homestuck music thing is when a light instrument that wasn't in the first few minutes of a song is introduced in a bouncy countermelody. Something about it just melts me.

Robertson, put it on the front page: SPIDERTROLL MURDERS SEVERAL CHILDREN.
okay so
http://goggles.sneakygcr.net/
goggles is a script that can run on any webpage
you bookmark their shit and when you click it it calls up a javascript function that lets you draw on the page
left click to draw, right click to erase
the drawings you do are saved to a server, and anybody who calls up goggles on that page can see the changes you made, in pretty close to real time, depending.
you can draw over or erase other people's drawings (unless the drawings are made out of dots, which are, for some reason, invincible) resulting in certain pages getting huge collaborative graffiti pockmarked, natch, by the occasional griefing incident.
there's a limited color palette and it can get a little slow when there's a lot of lines on the page, but other than that it's a solid little internet toy.
anyway you've probably already guessed where this post is going
(http://i54.tinypic.com/akj3px.png)
(http://i51.tinypic.com/oaykio.png)
homestuck actually has one of the most interesting goggles pages I've seen, which is why I'm posting this itt
(the clock crew's, for instance, is pretty lame. the only ones with anything really done on them are the main page, the search results page, and the forums index, if you're interested, but at this point it's still pretty empty and pointless. but anyway,)
(http://i52.tinypic.com/fc8ket.png)(http://i52.tinypic.com/123uov7.png)
there's also a decent-looking (considering the tools) horrorterror wayyyyy to the left if you expand your window bigger than your screen width. it's to the left of the giant turquoise terezi.
since mspaintadventures is all called from parameters following the main page, there's only one place to be drawn on, but there's some kind of dns differentiation that makes www.mspaintadventures.com (http://www.mspaintadventures.com) and mspaintadventures.com two different websites.
these are all from sans www.
you can view the other one if you want, but as a warning it's packed with non-removable dots. your computer will probably slow down.
okay that's all bye.
i can't view the horrorterror even with the window expanded and zoom size to the largest there is.
slurpster you can't leave us hanging like this.

silent flash was just a meta forward to
seer: ascend, which is just terezi going to confront vriska (unknowingly at gamzee's manipulation) interspersed with a battle between their troll ancestors that was alluded to in the journals.
vriska's looking pretty fucking whimsical sitting there in her little godhood, talking to rose.

Tavros' ancestor is Rufio.
He was real.
Ok I generally read through everything, but shit that's a lot of verbose.
Nutshell, please?
Alright, so low blooded trolls don't have a longer lifespan than the highbloods, Doc Scratch played his hand with the troll's ancestors, karkat's ancestor led a major rebellion that fucked shit up, troll's don't fight in space because the empress didn't want them to have a staging grounds for a coup AAAND probably was the same horrorterror that raised Feferi. Tavros's ancestor was a troll with wings that inspired karkat's rebellion with a major beast army that fell in love with mindfang, then ended her through the heart.
Also Scratch can't see Darkleer (ancestor of the Heir of Void, void meaning a dark pocket).
I thought that was neat.

EDIT: Also, I'm wondering where the "chaotic" in Chaotic Strength comes from. Equius is extremely lawful, to the point that it's pretty much the defining aspect of his personality. Perhaps he comes back and his worldview does a complete 180 after being brutally murdered by a highblood?

I actually like the trolls presence in the story, so I've got to disagree with you on that. I personally think homestuck has gotten better as time goes on, not worse.
If you hate the trolls so much why keep reading? They are such a huge part of the story that I don't see how you can like it if you hate them.
I don't share Thor's perspective, but I could see being frustrated with the turn things took from Hivebent on.
It kind of seems like there's not much left to explore and now we're just waiting for all the plot threads to tie together. No reason to follow one protagonist for very long, because there are earth-shattering things afoot all over the place. It's, as he said, focusing on events.
Homestuck is kind of "about" the kids, and their interrelations, and the big adventure they're having. I think Hussie has said, on the formspring or elsewhere, that the essential element is the kids knowing each other through the internet and having an adventure. I believe he even said he'd cut the trolls and exiles for a film adaptation.
So it's a little sad, yes. Some of the intimacy between reader and character is gone.
Quote from: Slurpee;1823033I believe he even said he'd cut the trolls and exiles for a film adaptation.
the context of that statement was saying if andrew would ever import homestuck to another type of format. there was just too much in the story that he'd have to cut out the exiles and the trolls, and a video game format would be much better for telling homestuck than a film.
just saying yeah okay whatever im out of here.
Here with my monthly "found a funny formspring answer"
QuoteQuoteAt the beginning of the story, characters would often call one-another by their chumhandle abbreviations (TT, GG, etc). While I understand this is because they hadn't been given names yet, wouldn't it make sense for them to still do it now and then?
No, because it is governed by Homestuck logic.
This is the same logic which makes it reasonable for a kid to be named at age 13, and then go duel his cake wielding father in the kitchen.
The thing with webcomics is I never expected them to really impress me, especially not the way Homestuck did. If its not the same, oh well, it could be worse. Just look at the banner ads for mspa, it could be a lot worse. For now, I still find it pretty enjoyable and witty and doesn't have to make I'm a edgy teen sex jokes to remain popular like 90% of all other webcomics do.
THE ONE I FOUND WAS FUNNY TOO
Quote from: Kombucha;1823042THE ONE I FOUND WAS FUNNY TOO
I NEVER SAID IT WASN'T. THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T USE IT MYSELF.
Oh cool.
Now that I think about it, I really do wish the whole afterlife thing was fleshed out a bit more. I hope that is remedied with time since the bodies are still piling up.
I hope Tavros, Equius, and the dead Daves have sick rapoffs in the afterlife.
what the fuck are you guys talking about
Quote from: ampmboot;1823058what the fuck are you guys talking about
http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001901a webcomic.
a damned engrossing one, at that.
better than asterix!
hey you guys, do you remember a web comic done by that guy who on newgrounds was known as Charlie Zero and did The Bard's Song flash and stuff, and he had a long running and allright webcomic going, at least for nine year old me's standard. Does anyone remember that?
dominic deegan?
I haven't read it but I heard it sucks
lol, oh my GOD I'm pretty sure thats the one.
and so it is. and its still fucking going. time to be reminiscent..
(http://www.dominic-deegan.com/comics/20020522.gif)
soooooo good
I always get dominic deegan confused with dresdan codak because I've never read either of them and they have sort of similar titles but dresden codak actually looks readable and not just exactly the same as it did 9 years ago
how do you even sustain an illustrated narrative for 9 years without improving at all?
it's just like the guy that does sluggy freelance
man, what's with forgettable webcomics being named after a main character with a two-syllable last name?
To be fair thats from like 2001, a more recent stip...
(http://www.dominic-deegan.com/comics/20110527.gif)
shows vast improvement. I remember liking some of the story arcs, but maybe I was a young, dumb kid. And maybe, just maybe, I still am. Because I really wanna read this shit, not because it looks very good, which it doesn't, but because I'm so ecstatically nostalgic at the moment. I used to fucking CRY to this dude's flash cartoon on NG, The Bard's Song, when i was like nine and discovering the internet. just because the song, really, but still! and to find that the guy is still just working away at something all this time, gotdang.
Im already over it.
Quote from: Slurpee;1823119man, what's with forgettable webcomics being named after a main character with a two-syllable last name?
Funny, I wrote a fan-fictiony kinda story when i was in fifth grade and it was called Cincet MaSora, the name of the brooding and titular character.
I'll tell you why people do it: because it's cool.
iam skeleton jelly
Quote from: ampmboot;1823120shows vast improvement.

minor improvement.
compare first to last penny arcade, dresden codak:

You are skeleton jelly? I've been looking for you!
Quote from: Slurpee;1823128you can barely even tell dd is from two different strips
Fair. But he's a manga artist (sub-par at best, I dont expect to see any beautiful frames of mount fuji in his comics) and he had that style down pat after like his first three years, and ya don't see the guy who did like DBZ get any better. I'm really sticking up for the guy because I have such fond memories of this shit, so I'm just gonna read pretty much up to where I left off and see how it goes.
I'll report back later with my findings.
To be fair, Penny Arcade has kinda stopped evolving too. You can tell that most of the comics are just reusing various faces and poses to make the comic work, especially if it's just a tycho 'n' gabe dialogue.
that's not being fair, it's being unfair for the appearance of equity.
one case is plateauing as an artist and the other is finding niche in mediocrity.
this weeks gold standard webcomic!!
(http://www.vgcats.com/comics/images/110427.jpg)
have they ever been funny?
speaking of finding niche in mediocrity.
I remember liking vgcats but I can't remember why.
it's honestly one of those things I just attribute to younger me not having taste. I used to have the ability to find things funny when the material instructed me to.
Its only natural. there were somethings as a kid though that even I couldn't fucking handle, mostly old cartoons, but pretty much any movie or cartoon show that looked new and shiny I pretty much let envelope me.
also I read this webcomic from a miiiiillion years ago that was a version of DBZ where all the characters were little kids, including the andriods, and they all went to school with each other. I read that shit HARD and loved it. I'm sure its total poop, tho.
Reminds me of my Inuyasha phase.
God, I'm glad I'm past that.
anyway I'm forcing the topic back to homestuck because I think it'd be funny if 153 was just that weird page.
here' some fanart

So whats the deal with the guys wearing the different astro-symbols? I see Taurus, aries, gemini, aquarius. WHY
Quote from: ampmboot;1823434So whats the deal with the guys wearing the different astro-symbols? I see Taurus, aries, gemini, aquarius. WHY
The trolls have a zodiac motif. There's twelve of them, one for each sign.
why is it that the gemini one looks like the guy from gorillaz
also do their personalities or powers correlate with the zodiac sign?
Quote from: ampmboot;1823434So whats the deal with the guys wearing the different astro-symbols? I see Taurus, aries, gemini, aquarius. WHY
those are the trolls. they're internet trolls but they are also literally trolls.
they're each semi-themed after one of the 12 zodiac signs, and their instant-messaging names are all plays on their respective sign
carcinoGeneticist = cancer (carcinogen), gallowsCalibrator = libra (gallows, hanging, justice, the scales), etc.
for a while it was just a weird theme-naming thing, but then we actually got to know them (after a long period of just encountering them repeatedly in chatlogs with the four main kids).
and we went through an adventure with them and at the end it turned out that sburb (the game the kids are playing in Homestuck, and one that the trolls also played) is
a mechanism by which universes reproduce.
the kids' universe (and, by extension, our universe), was created by the trolls, and their influence was felt in a variety of places, including, amongst other things , the zodiac.spoiled in case you want to find out while reading because it was actually a pretty big surprise when we found out
fuck I am slow
Quote from: ampmboot;1823437why is it that the gemini one looks like the guy from gorillaz
also do their personalities or powers correlate with the zodiac sign?
that's a joke. sollux loses his eyesight eventually so somebody drew him as 2D. karkat is also drawn as murdoc and nepeta as noodle.
not canon, just fans doing fan stuff.
and no their personalities and powers do not really correlate
just, like
tavros, the tauros, has bull horns
nepeta, the leo, is like a cat or something
equius, the sagittarius, has like a creepy horse fetish (played for laughs)
etc. etc.
and this is all in MS Paint Adventures? where the comic begins with your character naming himself?
hahaha yes
now you're getting it I think
also the comic is produced so quickly that all this happened in the course of about two years real-time.
watching it unfold day after day was extremely addicting
Quote from: Slurpee;1823442also the comic is produced so quickly that all this happened in the course of about two years real-time.

at least until it became a troll romance comic...
Yeah, I'm gonna have to read this

it turns into a horror flick later on.

I recommend reading Problem Sleuth first.
im torn, they both sound so good! I'll just flip a coin.
fuck i have to the fucking problem slueth eeeggh whatever
Hey guys, this thread is the #1 google result for homestuck discussion.

Quote from: ampmboot;1823463im torn, they both sound so good! I'll just flip a coin.

problem sleuth is also pretty great, more humor based plus you'll get more of a feeling as homestuck makes subtle little references to that every now and then.
Quote from: Kombucha;1823460I recommend reading Problem Sleuth first.
I recommend reading Jailbreak even before that, It's a quick read and one of the best things Andrew has put up
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1823459it turns into a horror flick later on.
So he isn't trying to encourage shippers anymore? Maybe I will start reading it again.
Yeah the whole troll romance thing dies pretty violently.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1823489Yeah the whole troll romance thing dies pretty violently.
oh shit that sounds awesome
Quote from: Slurpee;1823128
woah ok
So MSpaint adventures is one thing, and problem slueth, and jail break, so what is Homestuck?
MSPaint Adventures is the whole website, Homestuck is the current mess of a story we have been discussing here.

honestly the only thing i want to see at this point is jack and gamzee go at it.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1823604honestly the only thing i want to see at this point is jack and gamzee go at it.
That would be sweet.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1823604honestly the only thing i want to see at this point is jack and gamzee go at it.
While this would be cool, I don't think Gamzee has any chance at all of defeating Jack.
I mean Gamzee is awesome and all, he's my favorite troll, but Jack has so far managed to defeat god-tier John and outer god empowered Rose with little effort. Even if Gamzee is more powerful than a god-tier fighter as implied by Karkat in his last memo, It's pretty clear none of the trolls or kids are powerful enough to take on Jack.
Actually seeing Gamzee fight for once would be cool though. I don't count Gamzee's subjugation/murder of Equius, as he just knelt there and took it.
:(
Bummer
Edit: Terezi and Karkat should be alive for a least an hour after the Critical Event, which we're supposed to see. So hopefully we'll still get to see a bit more of what transpired with the trolls before their ultimate demise.
Also NEW ALBUMS

OH NOOOOOOO
this is just as dumb as lost
uh yeah it's as dumb as the best most not dumb thing ever
this fucking guy
also
noooo terezi and karkat noooooooooooQuotenot about to repeat the mistakes leading to his banishment
that's interesting though.
I assume it's referring to how jack ended up in the trolls' session
which means the kids pull a kansas city shuffle
that's gonna be fun to see
No Gamzee I see.
Also, only one expendable left among the kids, I wonder if this means Dave'll be the one to send the bomb now.
Geez Jack I thought you swore off trophies and now you're picking up whole people. Talk about falling off the wagon.
Has anyone been looking at the banner?

Quote from: Slurpee;1823128
Wow, that's what Dresden Codak looks like now? I haven't checked the site in a while, the art's certainly come a long way.
Man, now all the characters I didn't want to die are dying :c
But I spotted something while listening to Homestuck Vol. 7. John, just before The Critical Event, which we obviously haven't gotten to yet, is wielding a hammer bearing Vriska's zodiac symbol. (http://bandcamp.com/files/32/81/3281679519-1.jpg)
So maybe Vriska makes it out of this fight with Jack alive and manages to get in contact with John again.
karkat's blood pool is doing quite a bit to not touch terezi's blood. maybe he has some blood power?
everyone else's hero power (light, mind, breath, etc etc) has come into play, but we've yet to see karkat do the blood thing.
this keeps happening: I suddenly notice a webcomic or artist or whatever that I was following stopped updating or fell off my radar, and I go "say, what the heck happened there?"
so I dig through whatever annals of the internet necessary to hunt down the artist's active hangouts, and then, when I find them, it turns out they've spent the majority of the intervening period talking about homestuck. discussions, memes, fanart- it just keeps popping up, like bad wolf from doctor who.

man, I hope kanaya's okay. we haven't even found out why the fuck she's a vampire.
uh no scratch that I guess we actually kind of did
http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005496
and she's actually probably okay, too.
http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005497
I think I need to re-read some things. I seem to have trouble remembering details when they come in bits and pieces.
So I just noticed Sollux wasn't one of the trophies he brought. He only has Karkat and Terezi's blood on him so we can assume no one else has been killed, at least by Jack.
We have five trolls still alive, potentially going down to four soon. I wonder what Sollux is doing.
Quote from: TequilaClock;1824655Woah hey Matchsticks
Fuck yes, I wanted to see him and Quarters at some point.
At this point I'm way more interested in what's going on in the banner than the actual story.
SHOOSH
Edit: Oh hey I just thought of a pun.
Those are some Slick fires.
Sweet, two new Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff pages.
I thought matchsticks was already dead when the intermission started, but Jack had both arms and eyes when it started
So is this doc scratch stuff happening BEFORE or AFTER the intermission?
Quote from: Thor;1824867I thought matchsticks was already dead when the intermission started, but Jack had both arms and eyes when it started
So is this doc scratch stuff happening BEFORE or AFTER the intermission?
After. Apparently pulling the fire alarm allows Matchsticks to be summoned from a different point in the timeline or from a different timeline or something like that.
I just read all of Problem Sleuth, and, wow.
I liked it a lot. I didn't expect it to be as crazy as it was.
well this is going to take a while to take in.
im guessing these panels were what would happen if terezi chose to kill vriska on the spot? and that she didn't follow through it because not that she wasn't capable of killing her, but then she wouldn't allow it?
no thats stupid.

UNLESS THE UPDATES THE PAST FEW WEEKS WERE OF SCRATCH NARRATING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN AN ALTERNATE REALITY.
QuoteI've never much enjoyed navigating the vortices of alternative possibility.
:( slick
it's still pretty rad though that alternate timeline vriska could have whooped jack into next week.
Quote from: Slurpee;1804486also, coda: I fully expect that terezi's going to outclass vriska with a degree of finality at some point- not to say she'd be above vriska on that list- she probably couldn't stand up in terms raw power, but she's damn savvy. the one constant between these two is that vriska can't measure up to terezi outside of combat. terezi gets things on a fundamental level that vriska doesn't.
thaaaaat's my girl.that synaptic navigation was a pretty cool narrative technique, incidentally.
adieu, vriska.
although, she did reach god tier, and I don't think the trolls know about the conditional immortality.
tough call on whether this death was heroic or just, but hopefully we'll be seeing her again, and not just in the afterlife. I feel like she was really close to actually learning a lesson or something this time.
also I want to see her and kanaya being lesbians

willing to bet that she knows vriska is going to resurrect ala god tier. she's not really dying a villain when she thinks she can take on jack noir to save them. a bit of a jerk, yes. but not a villain.
also terezi knew quite a bit about quest beds when he tricked felt-dave into taking a snooze, so this could go many a ways from here.

I'm thinking now that it might have actually been before the Intermission and that future Slick went back in time somehow and killed Matchsticks before being killed by Quarters, and that past Slick might enter soon and catch Quarters by surprise.
Also that coin flip thing with Clover and Quarters was pretty sweet.

Edit: Gamzee's trying to get them to make out so he can creep on them.
Voyeur of Rage
Hahaha why does Sollux have Feferi's goggles.
I wasn't really worried about gamzee, considering kanaya seemed to be able to handle him pretty easily in the last confrontation, but the warhammer of zillyhoo makes it less clear.
did sollux lose his psionics in the fight with eridan?
also, taking bets on vriska waking or aradia showing up for the brawl.
nice to have the trolls converge, at any rate. it's been pretty messy.
the top banner shenanigans are still happening. it looks like ah might have just pulled the seer fake-out again. not really clear.
oh hey there you are sollux, figured karkat left you being blind somewhere else. thank goodness kanaya is quite the gentlemanlady.
the only thing left to happen is see karkat weep at zillyhoo before who-knows-what takes place.
oh hey snowman being mysterious again. that's kind of her thing now.

QuoteWhat would the hypothetical flash have covered?
It would have spanned the events from a little after here:
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005677
To right around here:
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005740
What took place over those pages is almost a direct transcription of what would have happened in the flash. The events were conveyed visually and verbally to suit the Scratch narration, instead of shown through high-intensity animated visuals alone. The Scratch segment was not introduced as a substitute for the animation. An "abridged" stretch like this was going to come anyway as a device for setting a few things up before starting on the EOA animation. Axing the Rose v. Jack / Vriska v. Jack animation (aka Heroes of Light: Strife) just meant moving Scratch the segment up sooner, to use as a vehicle for delivering the full flash concept without having to scrap it as a story direction, which would have been a pretty significant architectural upheaval.
interesting. still would have been cool to see this all animated out, though.
it's kind of like when you read a book, and you get a free movie in your head, and that's great, but the book's actual movie adaptation gets torpedoed *cough (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_the_Mountains_of_Madness)* and you still have the material you love, but part of you's always going to be a little disappointed that the cinema version never panned out.
hussie goes on to describe the disconnect that occurs in readers when reading serially vs. in one chunk, which I'm pretty sure he's covered before, but not with this much breadth. it must be frustrating to constantly be spelling these things out. I admire his patience.
and then he told us about troll cocks
QuoteMaybe I will only answer these vapid questions for a while, leaving you all to wonder how many penises trolls have. *

thanks, huss!!!
nvm
gosh, re-reading this from here (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005366), I missed a lot! it's amazing how much of this I just didn't take in.
I feel like I kind of fell off the wagon. most of act 5 might actually call for review. :/ :\ :/
not really gonna have the time for it, between summer classes and clock day.
maybe I'll stop reading homestuck for a while and catch up in the fall. =[
Quote from: TequilaClock;1821480ROUND TWO
I just want to point out that this is the best animation we've seen in Homestuck so far. Is Hussie getting help, or did he somehow become even more awesome all of a sudden?
I think that's all collaboration. I don't think that's his artwork.
I'm pretty sure it's his.
anything that's not ah gets credited (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/artcredits.html)
QuoteI drew an initial template, and the art folks were invited to continue in that style, adding new animation frames, characters, etc. All very loosely, without a lot of parameters beyond that. Eyes5 did the Jack, myluckyseven did a Rose frame. (http://www.formspring.me/mspadventures/q/195850403307361249)
I think the art credits page only includes flash pages for some reason. I don't think it matters too much though because almost all non-flash pages are all him, the Rose and Jack on that page are a rare exception.
I thought for sure that after seeing this page (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005743) that since the "makeouts" were an obvious trick by Gamzee that nothing would actually happen, but then on the next page they actually do. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005744) I didn't even notice it the first time I looked at the page since I was focusing on Kanaya and Sollux coming in from the background.

i'm starting to think that all this foreshadowing is leading to john not dying a heroic death when it does come, but rather a just one.
Quote from: Slurpee;1826646from a storytelling perspective I think that would cross the line from narrative trolling to narrative griefing.
not john.
he is super nice and heroic and friendly.
I think Polyhedron may be right. After reading that last line from Vriska, it seems to be heavily hinted at.
QuoteAG: Anyway, I figure you're pro8a8ly safe from a just death too, since I'm pretty sure you haven't done anything all that despica8le.
AG: Yet. ::::)

we'll see.
I just read that as vriska teasing.
Scratch has a much larger purview than her, and he said
QuoteAnd while I can't give you my assurance, I'm reasonably convinced of this much. When the Hero of Breath dies for good, it won't be as a scoundrel.
But not for lack of a devoted mentor.
the last bit meaning vriska
and then,
QuoteIf I had served as his mentor directly, rather than as his mentor's mentor's mentor, he may have stood a fair chance of perpetrating something underhanded. At the very least, his jokes might have been better.
hierarchy of influence: Scratch -> somebody (???) -> Vriska -> John
I'm pretty sure he's saying villainy (and comedic prowess) gets lost in the shuffle and John comes out of it with a good head on his shoulders.
Also I didn't noticed that hole in the mentor's mentor's mentor thing before. I thought Scratch interacted with Vriska directly. Maybe he's talking about Mindfang?

yup. also intresting how vriska was able to pull a fast one on scratch thanks to her proximity to equius, who probably has the same void power thing as his ancestor?
maybe equius will have some involvement from the afterlife that doc scratch can't predict that'll end up changing his prediction of the alpha timeline?
ramble ramble ramble.

Actually yeah you're probably right. I momentarily forgot that stuff that Scratch said.
I also am pretty sure that he was indeed referring to Mindfang. That's the only character that could really be considered Vriska's mentor and we know Mindfang had some kind of connection to scratch, what with having had the cue ball and everything.

If anyone is going to have an influence from the afterlife I think it will be Rose or Dave. On the latest album, Homestuck Volume 7 there are 2 songs that seem to hint at this. There's the song "Even in Death" which features a picture of Rose somewhere that didn't look like quite like any of the kids' planets. The name "Even in Death" implies there's still more to come for her. Then the other song that caught my attention was the song "Savior of the Dreaming Dead." Its picture is of the Dave in the Green Suit that Jack killed, and that title is pretty revealing that there's more to come for him too. Or they could be just songs made for no particular reason and aren't going to play into story through a flash or anything, but hey it's something to consider.

normally i wouldn't really associate the song cover with what happens in the story but blackest heart did have a picture of gamzee on it slighty before he went insane and started killing everyone so who knows.

no problem with not liking vriska, but the venomous bloodlust for a fictional character and gendered slurs are pretty unsettling. =/

this was a pretty clever way to avoid making a narrative ruling over whether vriska's actions were morally justifiable / if she deserved death.
Quote from: Slurpee;1827663this was a pretty clever way to avoid making a narrative ruling over whether vriska's actions were morally justifiable / if she deserved death.
im guessing maybe the type of death a god tiered character gets might have some more implications then just dying?
actually no, it seemed to stop on just before slick took the crowbar to it. and it flashed white indicating it wasn't just another normal tick.
Quote from: someguySo, is the clock what official determines whether or not a God Tier player's death is just or heroic, or is it simply something that shows the outcome, much like a regular clock simply tells time, and does not hold any actually bearing on time?
Quote from: AndrewThe story provides no conclusive answer to this, and I personally cannot provide the scoop either. Not that I am withholding it to be coy, but to take my word for it one way or another would be missing the point. The destruction of the clock is another element among many for you to weigh when considering these events.
First, there's the consideration of whether her death was just, heroic, or neither. The clock appeared to be leaning toward "just", when it was interrupted by the crowbar. Maybe it would have landed there. Or if given the chance, maybe it would have swung back and settled somewhere else. We don't have a definitive ruling. All we know for sure is she's dead.
So we can conclude that either:
1) The clock itself has no bearing on her life directly, much as clocks merely measure time without influencing it. Which would mean if given the chance it definitely would have landed on either just or heroic, but not in the middle. The proof is her death.
or
2) The result of the clock does have direct bearing on her life, and by knocking the clock over so that it stuck on "just", Slick inadvertently killed her for good, regardless of where it may have landed. But to be fair, if he knew it was going to kill her, he might be hitting it harder. You could consider it delayed revenge for his exile, which Vriska and Snowman coordinated. It's safe to assume Slick would have found her death to be quite just, and may have been weighing in on the matter through circumstantial serendipity.
If 2) is true, there is another wrinkle to consider. Recall that the crowbar he is using (from the intermission) has the property of being able to nullify the effect of whatever "enchanted" object it destroys. If the clock's power is to decide whether she resurrects, then by destroying it, he eliminates that power. Since there's no longer a force enabling her to resurrect, she remains dead. This is another way to look at it, but again, only if the clock itself has that power over her life.
If not, then the destruction of the clock becomes more a violent gesture of punctuation to accompany this "divine ruling", like nails being driven into a coffin. Or, like a tolling bell. It's jarring, sudden, and carries finality.
If you are convinced her actions are what decided her death, and not the destruction of the clock, then you are left to consider what outcome is most suitable, without having an absolute ruling on it. The clock did appear to lean "just" an instant before, and there are plenty of ways to argue in favor of a just death. There are many mitigating factors as well to supply a counter argument. It would not be that interesting if it were absolutely unambiguous, where everyone could all easily agree that her death was just. Or if everyone agreed there was no justice in it at all. There are enough factors in play where you have reason to think about it a bit, and such that it leaves plenty to discuss. You may consider the evidence and draw a conclusion. You may even feel very strongly about your conclusion! But for either the story, or me, to provide a categorically "right answer", immediately following the establishment of all the things that made it interesting to consider, shortchanges all that, I believe. For the clock to settle unceremoniously on "just" I feel would come across as a nonconstructive, compact ethical lecture, quickly nullifying all there was to evaluate and talk about.
Was this comeuppance for all her past killing? For killing friends like Aradia and Tavros? Was there mitigation in her upbringing? In her remorse, and desire to change? Was it justice for insisting on playing a role in the creation of Jack so that she could beat him, to serve her ego? What of the ignored warning from Terezi? Flying off in spite of it, endangering them all, again in service of ego? What of the doomed timeline she creates by doing this? Is there justice alone in killing her to prevent not only the death of all her friends, but an offshoot reality that can only fail? Is human morality in play here? Troll morality?? Or is it a higher agency, like that permeating Skaia? In a framework of Skaian morality, is there justice in sacrificing one life to help ensure the creation of an entire universe? This paragraph has been a thumbnail sketch of all the discussion which has already taken place across the internet, minus all the notes ranging from fan fervor to outright dementia.
Of all the arguments to make, it's difficult to come up with a solid rationale for a heroic result. Most people debating it would choose between "just" or "not just", i.e. die or live. Note that this means those who believe her death was not just are in fact arguing that the destruction of the clock is actually what killed her!!! There is nothing in the story which rules this out.
Regardless, the result is the same. She's dead. Out of the story for good? Who knows. For now it's the culmination of a wide arc importing elements from classic tragedy. Blind seers, wanton hubris, unheeded warnings, regret and death. But with some MSPA twists. Systematized mortality conditions, doomed timeline offshoots, way too much dramatic irony, and Nic Cage.
She was always a polarizing character. Shouldn't be too surprising she's more polarizing than ever in death. It's almost as if that polarity was given concrete expression through the rules dictating whether she lived or died.
HM.

Nah, you can tell that she's a lil off the ground and that Dave is holding on to her, not to mention she looks visibly distressed.
It's clearly a Jade puppet.
(http://ib.skaia.net/image/3713.png)
when i first saw the original picture i thought dave must of cut his eye then I realize it's just the neck bit of his shirt. it's nice to know im not the only one who saw it that way though.
Smoochmotifs hahaha.
Also Jack is the best at auto-parrying.
I saw this coming.
Now neither Dave nor Rose have a dream self to sacrifice to go deliver the bomb to The Green Sun which makes this an actual suicide mission.
looks like scratch was more upset about jack NOT killing snowman more than breaking his clock.
also can't stop laughing how jack managed to kill dave ha. it's also good to see karkat angry and yelling at jogn again.

Quote from: clammo;1828903id like to take this moment to give every single one of you that chose to SYNC YOUR SOUND BY EVENT a sincere fuck you forever. how did you people even formulate a coherent thought long enough to make a 30 second flash clip? how can you even call yourself an animator when you dont even know the single most basic principle of sound? you specific people (and there are enough of you) are the reason why this thing will never get released ever.
Quote from: clammo;1828954well my idea for loading the parts into streams is COMPLETELY DEAD AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FINISH with event sounds, so do what you think is best
Quote from: clammo;1829014and also turn the volume on the shit fleetwood mac song in screws part all the way down. its ear bleedingly bad.
Quote from: clammo;1829017everybody just post what flash you have instead of actually fixing the problem
Quote from: clammo;1829035did you.... put everyones part inside a movie clip? seriously? even after the 30 pages of me telling everyone to put their movie on the main timeline?
these parts are even more useless than the event sound ones
Quote from: clammo;1829036let me try to explain this one final time before i literally explode.
i need to be able to COMPLETELY STOP each individual part so that they DONT PLAY OVER TOP OF EACH OTHER. I can't do that if they're nested inside a movieclip. Especially if they dont even have an INSTANCE NAME.
Just... the movie on the main timeline.... stream all sounds.... so i can stop them from playing................
Quote from: clammo;1828905i cant believe i have to mention this, but apparently people ARE dumb enough to not do it:
SET ALL SOUND TO STREAM. IF YOU LEAVE IT AS EVENT I WILL MURDER YOU FOR REAL

I guess I should be glad that I'm so bad at flash that I decided not to participate in that as to not make a fool of myself.
i guess if karkat is clam then that would make the embodiment of the clockcrew the figurative john.

i had a feeling that was the john from the timeline terezi tricked him and sent him into the denizen's lair just because we don't know what happened to him, and it was hinted in john's walkaround that when he confronts the denizen he'd be presented with "THE CHOICE" and that's not a thing that stopped happening or anything.
if dave is dreaming and rose isn't dead maybe she's alive near the green sun like aradia is?

I love this comic
dream transition effects are pretty rad, and seeing john's house transition into vriska's land was probably the greatest one yet.
Ok i was away of this comic for a handful of days and DAMN, it blew my mind when I saw extra-crispy John back on the story.
Perhaps most of what we saw him do on chapter 5 was a... DISTACTION?

EDIT:
Quotepipefan413: One day, the girl was able to gather enough bravery to mention her brother to the baroness, and her desire to see him again. With contempt, she guaranteed that this could never happen. When the girl asked why, that is when the baroness began to reveal to her more than just her baking secrets.
pipefan413: She mentioned that like in many fairy tales, there was more to the children's past than they knew. The colonel was not their father, nor was the baroness their mother. They in fact had no father or mother at all, nor were they ever actually born. They had both fallen from the sky! They were not actually brother and sister as they had been told either. Again like in many fairy tales, the truth was that they were always destined to become married one day. They were to have two children, a son and a daughter, and these children were meant to save the world! But the batterwitch was determined to make sure this destiny would never be realized. In her limitless cruelty she would do all in her power to keep them apart for the rest of their lives.
Wait what

Quotepipefan413: She knew the baroness was not human! :B
welp this just opens another can of theory. possible troll?
i mean it's possible it could be a whole lot of different things. an exile from time shenanigans, a horrorterror asshole of some sort (actually no motivation there, dumb theory). or quite possibly a troll. i mean outside of the main 12 there really hasn't been much focus on any other trolls, save for their ancestors which pretty much died out.
EXEEEEEEEECPT the possibility of the troll empress (and feferi's ancestor I guess). if lifespan for the highest of bloods is still a thing that didn't stop happening or anything, it's very possible the empress alive at the time of hivebent was her ancestor. and seeing how the vast glub doesn't kill people who share the blood with that of the lusus horror terror then she survived it.
which makes finding the box of fruit troll-ups in alterniabound all the more hilarious.

but the idea is that with the reset, the way the conditions of the game change is the locations of the paradox clone meteors (or possibly the paradox cloning itself) are switched around, and the kids and guardians would be raised under different circumstances. the running theory was that John would be raised by Grampa Harley, and that he, through some twist of plot contrivance, was Jade's penpal/grandson.
if that fan theory ended up being right, we could also see one of these alternate possibilities with Grampa and Nanna
pure speculation though

i kind of figured that the reset conditions would have the guardians playing the game rather than the kids. hence, the kids would be the new guardians, and jade could actually be the penpal's grandma.
also they refer to betty crocker as a WITCH plenty of times hmmmm.

there's pretty much no way he survived that explosion unless he put on the ring. which is probably what jack actually wants, a good fight.

im still holding to my silly theory he's going to go all peter pan on the horror terrors and lead them out of the land of the dead via peter pan, and become the ultimate rufio badass.
he DOES control creatures and whatnot. and his ancestor did have that quarrel with feferi's, which seem to be a thing that happens with foreshadowing.

i'm attributing sollux being able to see the sun because he's half dead and able to see regularly with his ghost eye. and the sun being 2D because of his lack of depth perception with one eye. i guess sollux really is going to die, and be dead at the time the surviving trolls arrive there.

oh hey more troll ancestor stuff. karkat's one to be specific. this is a pretty cool thing, him remembering and whatnot.
if scratch was involved in making the trolls more bloodthirsty and whatnot, would this mean that the reset universe the kids are aiming for have a manifestation of scratch in them as the guardian instead?

if scratch was involved in making the trolls more bloodthirsty and whatnot, would this mean that the reset universe the kids are aiming for have a manifestation of scratch in them as the guardian instead?
unclear.
the kids don't have the anomaly of not being spawned in the session they're currently playing, because they totally were. but they also didn't fail due to inadequacy, so much as being fucked sideways by all the things the trolls screwed up. which is probably something to do with the "unfathomable cascade of misfortune" doc scratch refers to.
that said, the kids' bargain doesn't seem to be going the same way the trolls' did, either. with the trolls, they met with the mother of all monsters (?) and she let them retry with the tacit implication that it could fuck something up elsewhere (which it did). for the kids, doc scratch's end of the bargain was just that rose kills him so lord english can show up.
in terms of doc scratch, though, since he has to die to summon english, and since the kids have to destroy the green sun to kill scratch, and I'm pretty sure there's only one green sun, I get the sense that a first guardian being the servant of lord english is quite rare, which would seem to imply his capacity for interference with the development of a species is pretty unique. so, if I had to guess, I'd say we won't be seeing a human race carefully groomed to be douchebags after the reset.
the trolls had scratch's calling card glitch in their session, and he specifically says their species wasn't prepared for the rigors of the game.
the kids only had two things go wrong- the session was cancerous and would not bear a new universe under any circumstances, which
scratch has implied will be fixed with the reset, and prototyping becquerel, which seems to me to be an easy thing to avoid by shifting the starting conditions ever so slightly- butterfly effect and all that.
or not I mean whatever.

New album. (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/prospit-derse)
QuoteThose are the last updates you'll see until the end of act 5 animation.
This means there will be a major content freeze. I will probably not even begin serious work on the animation for a couple weeks. There's still a lot of prep work and organization to do. That, and I have to catch up on some other stuff, like work on books, sketches and such. All the stuff I've been neglecting for many months while working on the comic.
Once I start on the animation, I can't say for sure how long it'll take, and I hesitate to give an estimate now. It's probably best to be prepared for another wait on the order of weeks. If you check back in a couple weeks, I may have a better forecast.
In the meantime, it'll pay to stop by now and then. There should be more new stuff appearing in the Topatoco and What Pumpkin stores pretty soon. I might also toy with ideas for some content to put up here and there to cut the boredom of the wait, if I can think of something that won't take much of my time. We'll see.
I can feel the withdrawals starting already
Welp as long as there's no updates this is now my official homestuck weird picture dump

I'm gonna send MSPA to the CIA so they can use it to develop a new form of code.
it's endlessly fascinating to me
we've mentally adjusted for a number of different textual obfuscations (it's actually eleven- karkat's is mutually exclusive from gamzee's, and kanaya's almost is, too. I did include a sbahj reference though. all the other trolls are represented in some respect) that we initially probably had some trouble reading through
a layperson looks at that and it's complete gibberish, almot a parody of bad let speak, but we've gained a superfluous fluency. we're like the windtalkers!
we're almost as bad as those nerds that speak klingon, you guys.
we're not even close to being that bad, slurp.
You're okay until you have to start caring about syntax

yeah it's pretty obvious, that and the fact the game makes a transition from MM to OoT. it's still a nice creep though. i still consider it on the same creep level as lavender town.
those breakable pots do look really clean
Majora's Mask is the best Zelda game, hands down
I would highly object but Zelda is clearly a different strokes series.
Quote from: GearBoxClock;1870660Majora's Mask is the best Zelda game, hands down
I agree, though I was a bit older playing it than I was for OoT. I'd like to play both when I get my N64 back from wherever it's stored.
tbqh never really liked zelda all that much
but I'm a huge fan of mm's tone. it's got a nifty, dream-like, apocalyptic atmosphere.

Spoilers: [SPOILERDEFUNCT]Jadesprite goes God-Tier and becomes the sparkly furry God-Tier Witch of Space as a callback to how Jade was originally a parody of Mary Sues but the difference between then and now is that's it's so uncomfortable [/SPOILERDEFUNCT]that Andrew Hussie exceeds Bro Strider levels of irony, moving up on the Echeladder from Ironic Master to Evil Author, thusly becoming Lord English.
Spoiler: Only the stuff I put in spoiler tags actually happened (although that's certainly not all that happened).
fyi if you didn't catch it, the tumor didn't destroy the green sun it made it. TWICE the mass of the universe was incredible foreshadowing

How is that even spoilers?
1025 is not new, 10:25 being the time on the tumor isn't new, either. It's why he posted it on the date that he did.
Jade isn't just god tier, she's god tier plus first guardian. This means she's at least equal with if not more powerful than Jack. Also I didn't realize on the initial watchthrough that the tumor actually just made the green sun bigger, yeesh.
But really, god damn. That was one hell of a way to end the act.
Quote from: Kombucha;1871044How is that even spoilers?

it's not, but it being represented by
both universes being merged together to create the green sun is. the significance is i suppose.
To reiterate: God DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

I was actually about to ask the same thing.
They are both already dead and resurrected using their dream selves, so no dying on the quest bed happened. What exactly caused the shift to god tier in both of them? A lot happened in that flash pretty quickly, so I missed whatever caused it I guess.EDIT: Poly posted while I was typing this, I'll re edit with a new question.

What crypt quest beds? Also, don't quest beds require a dying body and a dream self? They've both already died once by this point.

Oh, I am currently rewatching the flash and those yellow and red stone slabs they were standing on were the quest beds. I don't know why but my first time watching through I didn't pick up on that.
hehehehe, mailman vs a dog.
There still are a lot of unanswered questions from the kid's universe, and I hope they are addressed even though the universe was destroyed. First: how were the guardians able to fight in the game, and how much did they know about SBURB? It's hinted they created the game, considering the SBURB lab links up with Rose's house. So one popular fan theory is that this is the second session for Earth, much in the same way the Trolls had a session before. The original Earth session was played by their guardians (Nanna, Mom, Bro, and Grandpa Harley). They failed, and were forced to scratch their session, though they retained some memories.
Second: Where did Mister Jaspers disappearify off to for a week?
Third: Why did the White King have Rose's wizard Slash fiction with him?
And many more questions that can probably only be answered by a two hundred page side story.
plus we've never saw how grandpa entered the kids session to begin with.

If that's the case, there's over 3000 pages you have to catch up on for this movie to make sense. You've watched the End of Act 5 animation, which brings together a lot of things that have been developing in the plot for ages.
I don't think there is a "short" way to review what has happened in the story thus far with how Homestuck is written.

I think it seems like
those beds seem to spawn you where you died, instead of back on the battlefield, the same happened with Aradia. Maybe it just uses the body you just died in or something.

Wow
That was quite a thing.
I always thought that the most important character in Homestuck was some stupid meta-thing about the reader, though lil Cal does seem like a possibility now.
I think it's safe to say that...

Quote from: Andrew's TumblrFrom the perspective of LE as a crime boss rather than an immortal demon, heââ,¬â,,¢s somewhat like a ruthless pimp. Whoever he is. This is one of the few major questions lingering, in case you didnââ,¬â,,¢t notice.
I am kinda disappointed that everyone's god tier. I really like John and since his power is just wind it really doesn't stack up to time, space, and probability now. I guess he's still got being a likeable character going for him.
less not forget john has the hammer of zillyhoo combined with the fluorite octet, which is basicly the best weapon evvvvvvver.
yeah but jade is god tier with no bullshit first guardian and possibly kernel sprite powers
The thing is that seeing as John is the leader of their group he has a job to uphold. If he were the most powerful out of all the others he would undoubtedly fail at the most important job, which is to bring them together. A great leader is not measured by what he achieves alone, but what he inspires others to achieve together.

Wow, Cascade is pullin' in at #5 all time right now.
So apparently Cascade was a remix of Descent or a re-imagining of it. The point is someone switched Descents' music with Cascade (and tweaked the sync, but just a little bit), and it's pretty cool.

Apparently Gaia Online now has troll horns as an item but they're so prohibitively expensive to make that nobody has them.
It occurred to me that we saw Dave's eyes twice in Cascade. We've never seen them before this.
There was just so much other stuff going on no one even seemed to have mentioned it.

If the rest of Homestuck and Problem Sleuth are anything to go by, people don't stay dead when they die.
does anybody know why the earth exiles even exist and what the hell they were doing?
their purpose is to rebuild civilization on the host planet after it's destroyed in the reckoning, right? but how did they last out the 413 years if the kids' session is doomed to failure?
and I don't see where all of that was going before jack showed up. why they were destroying the skyship base and all that.
I think fishlips forgot why he put them in the story in the first place and just said "fuck it I'll just get rid of them and let the fans figure out what they were doing"
oh... kay?
I'm just mad because this whole story has been doing nothing but going downhill and getting worse for a long time, and now he gets rid of the most interesting subplot in the story so suddenly without even explaining anything I think I'm going to just stop reading this comic now
I seriously don't think Andrew knows what he's doing anymore.

Probably in a not so literal sense, yeah.
Andrew had explained at one time that a lot of the characters in this story have very loose references to various superheroes. Two examples I remember are Rose and the Punisher with the shirt emblem and the turn to the dark side. Also Sollux and Cyclops. Most of the significant characters had a reference like this.
At least LE has a physical form now. Things just keep getting more and more interesting.

grandad is popping out pistol kind, and bro is using an unbroken sword, nana using a spork trident and mom still inconclusive. seems mutie's being cloned though.

I wish I didn't have class this morning, and that such an explosive update wasn't dropped at 3 AM my time since I was asleep. But let me say that I am highly suspicious of UU. Her log is intentionally the exact opposite of Karkat's first log, however as we all know he turned out to be an actually cool and nice guy. This new troll is way too nice and congratulatory to be a very interesting character if she keeps it up. Personally I'm leaning towards a first guardian that actually lies like the asshole they are.

I feel kind of bad for everyone though. John and Jade have to go three years without being able to enjoy conversations with Karkat, Terezi, or Rose. Likewise Dave, Rose, and the Trolls won't have any derpy discussions with John and Jade anymore. At least both groups have a Dave to talk to.
I like the names of Dave's God Tiers.

Apparently a lot of the money he gets goes into server costs, since the site is pretty high in traffic these days.
I'm not sure how much that accounts for, though, I figure he makes a decent chunk of money of just based on the ads alone, they started running really high this year.
I was gonna say it seems like ad space on his site is big money anyway. He did say it was thousands a month to upkeep but how much is he getting for those ads in the same time?
The price fluctuates a bit, I've seen them go for as high as almost $90 for the banner ad, but right now all the Project Wonderful ads add up to $48 a day, with is $1440. I don't know how much he gets for the two non-Project Wonderful ads.

Not necessarily. Godcat saved Jane from the first one and the second one was never intended to kill her. So it's more like she just has insane luck, given Godcat's apparently capricious nature.

haha, those are great.
My theorycraft for role duality (Passive/Active)
Rouge/Thief - Canon
Page/Knight - Makes sense that they would work together. We know Dave (Knight) is definitely an active class from the discussion he had with Aradia about their power. Tavros never really used his powers so it's hard to say how that would have gone.
Prince/Heir - John (Heir) seems to use the Windy Thing for combat, while Eridan seemed like he was supposed to give hope to the other trolls (which he did the opposite of, echoing UU's suggestion).
Mage/Witch - Also thematically go together. Sollux never seemed to use his power for combat, though neither did Jade. Jade's power does look like it would be pretty effective in combat, so who knows.
Maid/Bard - Not really sure about this one. Aradia's class is passive (again referencing the distinction she made between her and Dave), but I'm not sure what Gamzee's powers entail or how they manifest.
Seer/Sylph - Seers use their powers to help others, particularly with tactical assistance (Obvious from Terezi and Rose's manifestations of their powers). Sylphs are like Faeries or some shit? I have no idea.
Quote from: AnkhClock;1891470Maid/Bard - Not really sure about this one. Aradia's class is passive (again referencing the distinction she made between her and Dave), but I'm not sure what Gamzee's powers entail or how they manifest.
His powers seem to just be berserker strength, thus his episode of madness and total domination versus the king and the other trolls.

Probably just paradox space. Which I suppose would mean that they're indirectly connected to the dream bubbles, but that there's also a distance to be crossed (unless a dream bubble moves right by a window).
Though Eridansprite would probably be really funny, given Roxy's interest in wizards.

with jake it could go either way with tarvos and his thing with animals on jurassic park island, but also has that thing with blue ladies which would lead you to think vriska. i suppose the whole thing with tavros and vriska goes hand in hand.

Since The Sufferer is the messiah of the subjugulators religion, and she/he has wavy horns, we can assume it's some sort of subjugulator. Scratched Gamzee/Goatdad?
Quote from: crabclock;1894602Since The Sufferer is the messiah of the subjugulators religion
The Subjugglators worshipped the Mirthful Messiahs, and were probably against the Sufferer, given that the Grand Highblood decorated his walls with the blood of almost every caste but his own and that the word "subjugglator" comes from the word "subjugate", meaning to dominate something.
If it's a pre-scratch Gamzee/Grand Highblood, then he wouldn't be a Subjugglator. Subjugglators probably wouldn't exist in the pre-scratch troll universe.

And It Don't Stop was pretty cool.
Humanimals... This was all I could think of:

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1896093So I'm assuming this means the kids are themselves going to create a new troll universe or something?
But then how is UU communicating with them if she hasn't been created yet? The trolls didn't communicate with the pre-scratch kids until they were on that lab beyond Skaia (or whatever).
Maybe it's actually Vriska? She has those dead-looking eyes.

So that was like the original mindfang that was too soft and lost so then they made the scratch or something?
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1896153So that was like the original mindfang that was too soft and lost so then they made the scratch or something?
You mean Vriska's ancestor? I'm so confused. This is the first chance I've had to experience the updates and following confusion as they're happening. It's kind of exciting!
It could be pre-troll-scratch mindfang or vriska as we don't know anything about how they dressed, looked, or acted, besides the fact that they were a peaceful race. Pre scratch trolls being in the picture isn't out of the question with the appearance of UU.
Or it could be just dead Vriska. Maybe she's been hanging out with dead John so long she has softened up a little. It's not unheard of for her to don a dress, after all. She was wearing a dress when she kissed Tavros.
hehe, "kindfang".
troll!spidermom
Wait, I guess it couldn't be one of the original ancestors since she has the sufferer necklace. I still say you couldn't discount this being trolls from the session the kids are going to make. Just because the trolls only found the kids after they got the meteor laboratory doesn't change the fact that the meteor was always there to begin with. It would go along with UU talking about the kids as if what theyre doing happened in the distant past, which is exactly how it would be.
I just remembered that Jade could communicate with Jake (and/or vise versa), they were penpals. Whoops!

dem eridan tights
finally the best character in homestuck returns.
alpha eridan is still MIA though, just sayin'.
So I'm assuming its implying that all dead god tiers died heroically trying to defeat the king but failed or something?
Or I suppose it could be more infighting, like Eridan being put down by Feferi or something.
I'm not particularly excited about seeing Eridan and Feferi, even if they are God-tiers, since they aren't the real Eridan and Feferi (I.E. the Alpha Trolls). I want to know how the dead alpha trolls are doing in their dream bubbles.
At least Karkat (the best troll) is asking all the existential questions I want answered.

are we still comparing clam to everyone? because this is pretty much a dead ringer for him.
oh god clams. it's too perfect.

So she is pre-scratch Mindfang after all. Pre-scratch trolls are now free game, the cast is primed to double in size. 5 more years of Homestuck.

Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1904699equius confirmed for returning.
thats a bull you dumb homo tool
Speculation: The bull is Tavros (self-explanatory). Hella Jeff with the guitar represents Vriska (electric guitar is often used as a leitmotif in her character songs). Sweet Bro represents the dreambubble-blowing horrorterrors, which Tavros and Vriska will buck off and shit on (metaphorically).
Guys, if the Condesce, Guy Fieri, Violent J, and Shaggy 2 Dope were the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Condesce was Conquest, who would be War, Famine, and Death?
This is super important.

Wow that was great.
wait, what? it's the ring that has the power of Red Miles?
Maybe that's every ring's default power? Or maybe specifically every dersian ring's default power.
Quote from: Marlin Clock;1907169Or maybe specifically every dersian ring's default power.
That's what the Homestuck wiki says, so alright I guess.
I mean I remember Jack Noir used Red Miles but I didn't realize it was the ring that had that power.
what's the general consensus on uu being a version of scratch, and UU being a version of english? possibly the first incantations of them?
uu would be a ___ of space, fitting with the first guardian motif of scratch(and being a prominent lorekeeper), and english would be a ____ of time, fitting the time traveling demon theme, while being fascinated with death(thief maybe? dirk referred to UU as stealing his time). space players are needed to stoke the furnace, and time players for the reset button on their planet.
sharing the same body would also be another foreshadowed hint, as it's heavily been implied now.

now that that's all wrapped up, there still needs to be a EOA flash for this. since all the cool stuff was done that would accompany most of a : ENTER flash, im hoping we'll see jack break and fuck shit up.
(come on noirscape, i got money riding on this.)
There will have to be since he said it would take several weeks for the EOA
Also he said there would be a song from the fan album in a future big flash so I figure it will be from there. I'm hoping for Battle Brotocol or Orange Hat.

album B was such a better album than album A. i'm hoping it's Emerald Terror, it's supposed to be Jake's song, but it seems to fit LE/uu more than it does him, plus his reveal is still waiting behind the next corner.
Phantasmic Youngsters is probably my favorite song on album B, although there's probably no place for it coming up.

Game glitched just as I got into Karkat's memory room.
Yeah I didn't get the hashtags at all until I got into that room. Goddamn I bet about 50% of the time making the update was just Kankri's text.
Fortunately none of these trolls surpass Meenah, she is still my favorite.
Legit excited we'll get to see alternate universe Darkleer in the next flash (hopefully).
So Kankri is officially the worst character now. And I am pretty damn sure Hussie wrote him that way intentionally to fuck with tumblr. He's too deadpan for me though, sure I get it, and I appreciate what he's trying to do to piss off tumblr, but I really hope he doesnt talk much anymore.
Also it's kinda funny that Kanaya and her ancestor had all this virgin symbolism and it turns out Porrim is a gigantic municipal cum dumpster.

Holy shit you guys
Homestuck KickstarterQuote from: Slurpee;1920997http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/14293468/homestuck-adventure-game
If Andrew Hussie offered to make one ship of a person's choice canon for a million dollars, I'm pretty sure there'd be people who would pony up for that.
I wont have any money to fund this until after the kickstarter is over :(
100k in one hour jesus christ
So who wants to start a cc kickstarter so we can make StrawberryClock a canon fantroll
it got 300k after five hours, thats great.
Am I the only one kind of hesitant about supporting this (or at least with with more money than it takes to get the base game) without knowing what game studio Hussie is going to partner with? I was willing to hand money over to Double Fine the moment they were out of the gate because they have a proven track record when it comes to making games. Hussie is good at writing and dialoge but what does he know about game design? The Flash games he's made for Homestuck are kind of amateurish. If Hussie would at least namedrop a few of the studios he's in contact with so I could scope out what other games they've developed I'd probably already have given the Kickstarter a bucket of money. He'll need to partner with an experienced game studio if he wants to make a decent adventure game.
e: Also Mac OSX compatibility.
ahahahaha all of the fan troll spots have actually been purchased

I seriously thought that tier was a joke and nobody would piss away a nest egg on something so goddamned stupid

Nevermind, it looks like they cancelled.
Quote from: AnkhClock;1921183Nevermind, it looks like they cancelled.
looks like it's still there?
also i hope said fantroll is incredibly ridiculous.
there's actually ways to make fake donations on kickstarter but they've been cracking down on that, probably what happened there.
and it's gone again : (
Funded!
Once it gets to 800,000 (or Andrew reveals who he's going to develop this with) I'll drop my own money into the pile.
I'm not funding it. :stubborn:
Yeah, guys, seriously, let all the die hard fans dump there hard earned money into this. I strongly believe that this is not worth your money, no matter how interesting and enrapturing (and convoluted) the plot and characters are.
On that note, I looked at those ridiculous "God Tier" backer levels. I sure hope Hussie is joking with the majority of those. I think that guy takes himself super seriously and tries to play it off as a joke most of the time, but IDK.
Of course it's a joke did you read the god tier directly after the first fantroll one?
Quote from: FloundermanClock;1921302Of course it's a joke did you read the god tier directly after the first fantroll one?
I did, the sarcasm was a bit sparse so it was hard to tell if it was really a joke or not.
btw Andrew has said the game will retail for more than 15 bucks so if youre going to buy this game eventually you might as well get in on the fifteen dollar level.
I want that gamebro pack cause that shirt is out of print and the other shit is cool too. But I dont have money to throw at it so once I have some money on monday I'll just get the soundtrack and game.
Hussie doesnt want to have the site on "infinite summer hiatus" anymore so he's gonna put in some normal updates between the game parts. I'm glad to get back to John and Jade for a bit.
Kickstarter Update!
Everyone who donated $105+ gets a free sticker sheet. Kinda lame imo. Also the Million Dollar stretch goal is translation to a bunch of languages I can't speak. Even though Homestuck is only in English.

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/603162
it's literally the best homestuck game one could make
So I'm playing the beta of the new Homestuck walk around flash game and I just wanted to say that pre-Scratch Ampora is perfect ok thanks.
Damn it I want to beta test this thing :[
But no way in fuck am I paying 50 bucks for it.
Oh my god the canonized fantrolls

I wanted a boxed copy of the game. I had to resist the temptation to get the tarot deck.
More stuff about the beta:
P.S. Captor is a literal retard. Leijon is a Tumblr fangirl. Makara is scary.
I'm not sure if I'm more surprised he did the whole retard Captor thing or that despite the stereotypical special student behavior he actually comes off as sympathetic (compared to Ampora)
But yeah there's a reason he wears a helmet, and it's not because he's a cyberspace yu-gi-oh character like Tumblr predicted.

Probably either
A. He was never actually blood-related to the Crockers and was adopted into the family or something both times.
or
B. This time he's an ectobiological baby (I am hoping for this because it means we might see a baby with a big nose).

Yeah, but if you remember back to when John first got the Warhammer of Zillyhoo, which it's 1/3 based on I'm pretty sure(1/3 warhammer, 1/3 doomsday machine, 1/3 needle[echidna quill?] i think), Gamzee was also wielding it at the same time. I think the 8onk=honk is a stealth pun. Maybe I'm just thinking too far into it.

Tavros is about to get dumped I just know it. Hussie just loves abusing him.
hussie's going to use vriska to gradually make every character in the story into an unlikeable douche sitting around in the afterlife chasing treasure and impotently snarling insults at each other and then the comic's gonna end with nothing resolved. it will be a metaphor for life.

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1925676Why is John being such a dick?
He's just messing with Tavros. Pranking, if you will. He said he'd give the ring back when he realized it was important.
Quoteyeah. i found him skulking around a memory of my dead dad,
oh. I was wondering what was going on there tbqh.
also
QuoteVRISKA: Ok, that may 8e, 8ut it sure wasn't Jack who killed a whole shitload of ghosts out here, including one of yours.
VRISKA: I really dou8t Jack can even kill ghosts. In fact, I don't think anyone can except for this guy.
JOHN: what guy?
VRISKA: Lord English.
JOHN: who??
VRISKA: Wow, John. Really?
VRISKA: Wow.
hahahaha.
also again
it didn't even really sink in for me that beta John was ultra mega hyper SUPER dead and never coming back until just now. because, you know, homestuck and dead kids, whatever.
but that's actually pretty sad. beta John is the only one who spoke to typheus and the only one who made The Choice and died. that was davesprite's John, and the John we saw hanging out with Vriska. and now he's gone. Ã,¡qué triste!
between that and mituna's fucked up backstory, homestuck still has that shigesato itoi knack for making me feel faintly heartbroken. which is interesting, because I thought I was about to stop caring there for a while. a Good comic.
Homestuck has a lot of subtle depressing stuff like that. Take for example Dad. He's constantly doting on his son and telling him how proud he is of him, and John just gets annoyed by all of it and wants him to go away. John doesnt understand but Dad sees all of the drawings in his room insulting him and is probably trying his best to help his presumably very depressed son get his self esteem back.

Quote from: BoomStick Clock;1926785dirty smooching with kanaya incoming?
Congrats to the RoseKanaya shippers for winning. I think you win by making your ship canon? So does this mean the JohnRose shippers lose? Are they out of contention or do they face an elimination match? Is there a wild-card spot in the playoffs? I donââ,¬â,,¢t know much about shipping but itââ,¬â,,¢s like sports right?
you win the shipping game by setting fire to your ship and drowning in the ocean.
I like how instead of a romantic movie kiss it's a realistically awkward teen kiss and rose is missing a shoe.

Or by getting in a UPS truck and driving off a cliff.

It's almost Halloween. I've seen plenty of horror movies. Lesbians making out? Killer on the loose? Andrew Hussie?
They'll be dead next update.

Rose vomits on Kanaya. Kanaya tells her she's not ready to take this kind of step and doesn't have a bucket anyway.

eminder that Strife! is still teh best homestuck album
*reminder
*the
that's not how you spell the felt
i still maintain that strife is the best album
though homestuck music is unnaturally good
It's between Strife and Alterniabound for me.
so was the entire flash a fanfic idgi
Holy shit this update
And I think the only part that was a fanfic was the part at the very end where Calliope's fantroll was. Just like how the panel before John woke up there was a drawing of her with John there.
The real question is whether Calliope's drawing influence events or whether events influence Calliope's drawings.
All of act six was her fanfiction. In reality everyone died during cascade.
Well that was quick. Probably a good thing Hussie's going for efficiency, what with his usual pace.

all the post-scratch kids' planet's second characteristic is a noble gas
*scribbles furiously in journal*
people actually predicted the planets names when they realized that crypts and helium dropped the hints it would be LOTAK, LOPAN, and LOMEX.
the r-kids were referred to as the NOBLES, which implied noble gasses, and crpyts implied that they each would have a grave-based theme.

AHAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT BEST UPDATE
AH end mspa on this update
next panel goatse
cut and print
NO GAMZEE NO
I'm sure he'll be fine. Unless the powers that be think solicitation is a worse enough offense for this to be a just death.
I saw this and had to share it with someone
(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdl2bzVmXq1ryu59ho1_400.gif)
gamzee isn't so much a godtier as he is dressed like one...so he dead.
His wings are fake, at least. (http://meulins.tumblr.com/post/35977210379)
Is that true? I just thought he'd become godtier by some shenanigans we haven't learned of yet.
The punk troll games first alluded to him just being dressed up.
These updates keep getting better.
which raises the question how the hell gamzee got to his session.
guys.
what if.
hear me out on this okay.
what if the meteor ends up in caliborns session?
IDK if you're serious or not but the meteor when Calliope and Caliborn were was pretty plainly the same as the Trolls' meteor.
Obviously the message of Homestuck is that people with learning disabilities are evil.
QuoteYou don't let your disability hold you back, do you?
I GUESS.
You won that game of chess with that stupid gambit. Switching the hats, remember? It was a lame ploy, and totally not in the spirit of the rules, but it got under her skin enough to force a loss anyway.
You also hired Jack to murder your sister. Which was a dick move, but reasonably clever.
YES.
THOSE THINGS I DID WERE GREAT.
QuoteTHE ONLY THING HE HAS TAUGHT ME. IS HOW TO RECEIVE HUNDREDS OF BULLETS THROUGH THE TORSO. IN THE LEAST DIGNIFIED MANNER POSSIBLE.
caliborn is what everybody thought karkat was before we got to know him and it's hilarious
also
QuoteI DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS FUCKER WON'T DIE.
He's a hilarious, rascally clown!
QuoteAnd you never know what they're up to, and they're always scheming in the shadows, and it's quite possible that whatever master plan they're hatching just doesn't make the slightest bit of sense at all.
But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how stupid the clown's schemes are, or how sick of him everybody is.
He just. Won't. Die.
a) at this point the fourth wall is barely even a real thing in mspa. there's so many layers of pointless metatextual bullshit I don't even know what to call it anymore.
2) it's good to see some acknowledgement of how sick of him everybody is

Well that was something
Burst out laughing at Erisolsprite floating around with the beautiful serene music (it's from A Taste for Adventure BTW).
that's the best sprite i've ever seen.
Erisol is the best sprite.
alright so lets see, that's just equius/nepeta/feferi's corpses left?
Also Vriska(?)
Oh no wait, nvm.
nepeferi? fefpeta?
also looks like we're not getting an equius based sprite. :(
Quote from: BoomStick Clock;1931537nepeferi? fefpeta?

Why not? There's still one more sprite to be known.
No there isn't, jane's sprite was vriska x tavros and it blew up
Imaging the punning opurrtunaties!
Also you forgot about Dirk's sprite. I'm so happy Dirk will get Equius, though I wonder what his second tier prototyping will be.

AR maybe?
it'll probably end up being something more unexpected though.
although equius does wear shades so...
It'll be someone who died on the meteor who's death we haven't seen!
Or Rose, who earned a just death from breaking her neck while falling down all those stairs. Skaia really hates lesbians.
Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1931602AR maybe?

Aradia doesn't have any corpses though, unless I'm remembering it wrong. She started the story a ghost, went into being a robot, then was revived as a god tier which hasn't died. So the only dead Aradias are roboradias.
Edit: I guess it doesn't have to be organic to be prototyped though, so a robot Aradia would still work. Disregard this.

Yeah, I thought about that, but the only problem is that the "soul" or consciousness or whatever you'd want to call it of the Aradia that inhabited the bot that died in the meteor is still alive as God Tier Aradia, so would she be alive in two places simultaneously?

Alternate timeline instances of her were all over the place before, what with her time abilities. There's probably still a few of them dead somewhere.

DIRQUIUS
This has been the best Christmas update. Santa ain't got shit on Gamzee.
After that whole existential conversation between Dirk and Lil Hal I think Dirk is my favorite character now.
lil Halquius
I just have to say that ARQUIUS is the best character in homestuck.
ARQUIUSPRITE: I'm just so e%cited, feeling all these STRONG feelings and thinking all these HARD thoughts
DIRK: Ok, if I touch your fucking muscles, will you shut up?
ARQUIUSPRITE: Maybe
ARQUIUSPRITE: Touch my muscles Dirk
DIRK: No.
ARQUIUSPRITE: Yes, do it
DIRK: No.
ARQUIUSPRITE: I command you
DIRK: Fuck no.
ARQUIUSPRITE: What if
ARQUIUSPRITE: I touched your muscles
ARQUIUSPRITE: Like for comparison's sake
DIRK: Please don't touch me.
ARQUIUSPRITE: Wait what if
ARQUIUSPRITE: Good heavens

Quote from: PolyhedronClock;1934842dang equius, when did you start caring that much about horses. i knew you loved hoof beasts but god damn.
I think he loves horses so much because Dirk loves ponies, and Lil Hal is an offshoot/mirror of Dirk, so Equius and Dirk met in the middle. ??

he's that one comic artist who thinks women are incapable of creative thought or something right.
So the draft for the Wizardy Herbert book leaked (http://www.mediafire.com/?qb73egub5qxur0x). It's almost 200 pages long and isnt finished. There was some other leaked stuff too like a Problem Sleuth point and click game but I cant find it since hussie deleted it all off the site.
Quote from: Slurpee;1816759okay so
http://goggles.sneakygcr.net/
goggles is a script that can run on any webpage
you bookmark their shit and when you click it it calls up a javascript function that lets you draw on the page
left click to draw, right click to erase
the drawings you do are saved to a server, and anybody who calls up goggles on that page can see the changes you made, in pretty close to real time, depending.
you can draw over or erase other people's drawings (unless the drawings are made out of dots, which are, for some reason, invincible) resulting in certain pages getting huge collaborative graffiti pockmarked, natch, by the occasional griefing incident.
there's a limited color palette and it can get a little slow when there's a lot of lines on the page, but other than that it's a solid little internet toy.
anyway you've probably already guessed where this post is going
homestuck actually has one of the most interesting goggles pages I've seen, which is why I'm posting this itt
(the clock crew's, for instance, is pretty lame. the only ones with anything really done on them are the main page, the search results page, and the forums index, if you're interested, but at this point it's still pretty empty and pointless. but anyway,)
there's also a decent-looking (considering the tools) horrorterror wayyyyy to the left if you expand your window bigger than your screen width. it's to the left of the giant turquoise terezi.
since mspaintadventures is all called from parameters following the main page, there's only one place to be drawn on, but there's some kind of dns differentiation that makes www.mspaintadventures.com and mspaintadventures.com two different websites.
these are all from sans www.
you can view the other one if you want, but as a warning it's packed with non-removable dots. your computer will probably slow down.
okay that's all bye.
tha fuuuuuuuuuck?
looking forward to trickster jane antics
Jane has a skintone. The Tumblr SJW dudes are gonna freak.
Quote from: AnkhClock;1936241Jane has a skintone. The Tumblr SJW dudes are gonna freak.
There is nothing more racist than making a character white.
I think Jane has to die.
She is the joker card in a universal game of old maid who has to end up in the hands of the fucker who is ruining the shit for everyone. Which imo means she dies, which isn't saying much in MSPA.
Welp, we've finally gotten the best update. R.I.P. Tumblr

Hussie trolled tumblr so masterfully.
Quote from: ah on tumblrSo I just dialed down the joke on page 7623.
The thing with that joke was:
Poking a little fun at an ongoing point of controversy surrounding the comic, without trying to make a statement on anyoneââ,¬â,,¢s position in particular.
The thing with that joke was not:
Admonishing those who wish to maintain non-white headcanons for characters. Or those disappointed to see Trickster Jane with skintone. Or anyone really. There was not any coherent ââ,¬ËœTAKE THATââ,¬â,,¢ going on here.
At least that was not the intent. I can see how it would appear that is what I wished to communicate, but it is not. If that is an interpretation that will commonly persist Iââ,¬â,,¢d rather just ditch the joke. Or at least tone it way down, which I did.
But actually what motivates me more to revise it is noticing more than a few unsavory individuals using it as justification to harass POCs or anyone who, reasonably, wanted to voice their concerns. On reflection Iââ,¬â,,¢d rather not have my decisions serve as fodder for the arguments of such people. They donââ,¬â,,¢t speak for me.
As a humorist, and someone who writes a provocative and unpredictable story, there are many types of unpleasant responses to my stuff I can easily accept. But some typesââ,¬Â¦ maybe not so much.
The original joke from my perspective really was a lighthearted jab at the storied subject of race in the comic, and the debates about it over the years. Mainly I thought the gag was tempered by its utterly absurd presentation, and made so over the top as to compromise its ability to be taken seriously. Beyond the pale of usual absurdity even for Homestuck, as has been the case with all this trickster stuff. Trickster mode, youââ,¬â,,¢ve probably observed, is a sort of ridiculous game powerup, like a Mario star or Kirbyââ,¬â,,¢s lollipop, which for a while brings everything to a frantic and surreal place. In this case those effects apply to Homestuck in its entirety, the characters, visuals, flow of story, the site itself, and the sense of humor, all getting a little warped and pushed a bit outside the usual comfort zones.
Tricksters were once an easter egg in HS a long time ago, and they kept picking up steam in the fandom. So, as is often the case with MSPA, the idea has been adapted as a nod to the readership, in a way that is compatible with the storyââ,¬â,,¢s logic. Fans have always drawn them as particularly cherubic white kids, and so thatââ,¬â,,¢s how they look in the comic. But this creates a really strange disparity between their skintone and the usual blank #ffffff depiction of human characters. This alone makes them a pretty bizarre addition to the story and contributes toward pushing this arc into sort of a narrative uncanny valley. I was inclined to address this flagrant coloration disparity by making a totally ridiculous, way over the top joke about it. Thatââ,¬â,,¢s because jokes are pretty much all I do. I even turn my jokes into jokes. (See the edited page.)
Personally I still think the original gag is pretty funny. But I had the benefit of knowing exactly where I was coming from. I think the new joke is pretty funny too. Maybe even more funny, if you have the benefit of remembering the old one.
I know I have a reputation for riling people up, so some probably think this was my chief motivation. But not really. My primary goal is always to do what I think is funny. Iââ,¬â,,¢m not saying I wasnââ,¬â,,¢t expecting some kind of controversy from invoking the subject, but neither did I anticipate the particular texture of the response, which isnââ,¬â,,¢t sitting well with me. So in retrospect, I decided THIS time, the gag wasnââ,¬â,,¢t really worth it. Especially if it just galvanizes an army of tools against people who have to deal with shit like that too often already. So to those people, I will apologize.
booooo I guess caucasian normativity ruined the joke in some circles and the new one is actually funnier on the face of it because it doubles as a pun but still booooo changing anything for any reason
So Hussie was just a dumb white dude who thought he was helping but actually wasn't?
Yeah I can see that.
I see whoever made that second calendar image still hasn't quite gotten feet down pat yet.
(http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/05739.gif)
I'm imagining Fefeta's string of emoticons to look like Meulin's handflailing.
Also Trickster Roxy is the saddest thing.
i like how the buildup of roxy going trickster was more suspenseful than a character actually dying.
Eridan actually apologizing for being a piece of shit. Wow that's a pretty big shocker. Maybe Sollux's half is making him less of a douche, or his time in the afterlife made him think about shit.
Also when they stop being trickster there are going to be a lot of hurt feelings I can just tell.

So I guess we're finally coming back to why John will be the main hero eventually? If you need someone who made a choice to stop someone who made the opposite, it's gotta be him.

Also this.
Meenah is perf.
So my roommate is like hella into Homestuck - he owns like a fuckton of Homestuck shirts and stuff. He's been trying to get me to read it but I thought it looked dumb. I made a deal with him that if I read Homestuck he has to play the first three Battle Network games. I just finished Act 3 and holy fuck am I getting the short end of this deal in terms of length. I had no idea how long this was - and apparently Acts 4, 5 and 6 are even longer. It's not bad so far, but I still don't see what the big deal is yet.
Quote from: KeyClock;1944804It's not bad so far, but I still don't see what the big deal is yet.
This is pretty much how I feel, but I can't not see a story through to the end...
I am partly addicted on how absurdly complex and referential the story is as it's land mined with foreshadowing as well.
I also like how the author managed to have this legion of fans and he is just experimenting with them as he pleases too.
Quote from: KeyClock;1944804I just finished Act 3
It's not bad so far, but I still don't see what the big deal is yet.
I was like "he hasn't even gotten to Ascend yet."
then I was like "
he hasn't even gotten to the intermission yet" and suddenly remembered how ridiculously long this fucker is
at the place you're at, Homestuck is still about four kids playing a game, with some programming jokes and pop culture references laced in.
I liked it a lot at that point, in the kind of "this is a cool concept" way that I liked, like, Animorphs, and Digimon,
but you're not even half way to finding out what it's actually about
I don't know why everybody else likes Homestuck, so, no promises, but it's one of my favorite things.
Finished the intermission after Act 3. Thought the use of clocks was funny since I just posted here and, well, you know, clocks
So far the Wandering Vagabond is the best character - I would stick with the story just to see him
this is quite possibly the best thing to happen to homestuck right here.

I definitely am in the camp of people that were in it because of Problem Sleuth, and feel they gotta see what Hussie does with this in the end. Problem Sleuth was an amazing piece of absurdism, which is what I really love about parts of Homestuck, but it definitely has taken a backseat to other plot demands every once in a while.
god damn, it's about time we get the best jack into the story.

QuotePosted on 14 April 2013 by Andrew
THE YEAR 4 MEGAPAUSE
TLDR; Act 6 Act 6 is next. This is Homestuck's final push. But before I start on it, I'll be taking a very significant hiatus to work on the game.
4/13/13 marked the 4th year of Homestuck, and a little more than the 5th year of MSPA's regular updates overall. Thanks to all those who've hung in there the whole time, as well as the very large number of you who piled on to this silly wagon at some point along the way.
The idea last year was to finish Homestuck and then begin working on the game. But as I've started to get into the early game dev process a bit, it's become obvious I have to start working on it much sooner. As in, right now. It takes many months of drawing and programming to make a game. But nobody can start on any of that until I've done a lot of writing and planning. So what it comes down to is, either I delay finishing Homestuck by a few months, or delay the release of the game by what would probably be a lot longer than that. Considering people threw 2.5 million bucks at me to make a game, I think that choice is obvious.
If I could do both at the same time, I would. But that's not realistic. Working on HS is an all consuming thing. Designing a whole game I believe will be too. It may sound obvious, but it can't be emphasized enough - entertainment takes a lot of time to create. More time than most people think. MSPA somewhat obscures that reality because I work on it as maniacally and efficiently as I can to keep the rate of output as high as possible. But the ease of production is an illusion. It is in fact a nonstop grind to generate this much material at a consistent rate. So I have to put all that on hold if I want to get anything else done.
I have noticed that some people believed HS would end on 4/13/13, though I never said that it would. Even if the story appeared to be on the precipice of resolution (which it wasn't), these rumors could be debunked for one simple reason. Animation takes A LOT of time. You've got to expect a story like this would end with some sort of big animation, right? I can't make those without suspending all updates completely for a good while. Trust me, the end to this won't sneak up on anyone. It will be really obvious when it's on the way.
To alleviate some of the suspense and wild speculation, I will give you a very loose estimate of my schedule, from now until the end of HS. Please observe these facts, as organized by this really awesome "html table" I have designed for this purpose.
(http://i.imgur.com/hSqHpCq.png)
So that's it for now. See you in a while. Unless you decide to reread Homestuck or something. In which case I guess I'll keep seeing you here. Well not me, but my website will see you. My website is always watching.
welp
I'd almost have him not end it on a big animation just so we don't have these giant blank periods.

I'm still reading this bullshit. Its definitely been on the upturn since the break ended.
I haven't really liked any of the characters or plot since the whole wait 3 years thing got about half way except for Roxy and Karkat, and Dave, and John but I am still reading this. Why?
QuoteJOHN: with regular time travel, the rules are pretty strict.
JOHN: either paradox space already accounted for your time traveling, and you were always supposed to do it all along...
JOHN: or you messed up, and changed something you weren't supposed to. in which case you just made a bad timeline, and everyone dies or something. right?
ROSE: Sure.
JOHN: but this isn't like that.
JOHN: i'm not sure how i know, but it feels like these jumps are totally outside all those rules.
JOHN: when i jump somewhere, like in the past...
JOHN: i think i can actually change stuff that isn't supposed to be changed.

Like I said man, it just keeps getting more and more convoluted and absurd, and stupid.

also not going to lie, it's kind of refreshing not having a cut away to a different part of the story every time something cool happens.
like literally, i was expecting it to cut back to john after every panel.
I like that Hussie has not stopped introducing plans to stop English
bet they're all gonna work together somehow
gonna be cool
the lines between living and the dead have been blurred a lot but it's still pretty weird that aranea's clam can just receive phone calls from the afterlife
also the process iof putting the ring on to come back to life is apparently reversible? or at least arguably so? also weird. homestuck is ruined

nobody's gonna talk about how awesome dirk is huh

Quote from: KeyClock;1960898nobody's gonna talk about how awesome dirk is huh

I posted "haha what?" as soon as it happened but my post got deleted in the rollback
so, to reiterate:
haha what?
also dirk is awesome. I previously called John and karkat the only two relatable characters, but the alpha kids all kind of have that going for them as well. except jake. but especially dirk.
I don't like Dirk. Not only do I not feel he's very relatable (to me at least) he often feels like a Mary-Sue.
On the other hand, one of the characters I do really relate to is Vriska. So take from that what you will.
E: also it would suck if Aranea's plan got derailed right now.
I only ever really liked John and Dave because they're both goofy but well meaning. I respect Karkat but I don't really like him.
Quote from: AnkhClock;1960922E: also it would suck if Aranea's plan got derailed right now.

I liked Aranea until she started acting like a complete doucher.
Quote from: Slurpee;1960931wrong it would own
I love when unabashedly stupid things happen in this comic, especially when they ruin serious things
Except it would suck if,
yet again, any sort of meaningful plot progression was ended and everyone return to just dicking around all the time. Homestuck's recently been the best it's been in months because something is actually happening. Aranea can say whatever she wants because A) she's actually
doing something, unlike literally every other character B) She's a villain so her insufferability gets a pass since she'll probably get some sort of comeuppance down the road and C) because she's still not as insufferable as Dirk.
that's not even dirk first of all it's jake's weird headbaby dirk.
and dirk has actually shown sincere emotional vulnerabilities and human flaws. that's what I meant by him being relatable.
he's self-aware to a fault, and expressed discomfort over the blurred lines between his outward persona and inner character. at the same time he expresses admiration for roxy's emotional maturity and strength of character. it's not that I like him (I do, but) it's that I can see the humanity in him.
but where with John it was a strong empathic core and goofily never having a full understanding of things everybody else seems to just understand implicitly, amongst other things, and with Karkat it was seeing circumstances as adversarial, and defensiveness becoming pugnacity as a result of insecurities (karkat's blood color arc was a metaphor for the closet okay there I said it), with Dirk it's the oppressive uncertainty, helplessness, and grim resignation of feeling trapped by your own sense of identity. this is what the whole post-trickster and pre-dirkquius broments were about. dirk is so self-aware he feels like he can't have normal interactions with people. I don't know how common a problem this is, but for me that shit was so on the nose it hurt.
aranea's depth of character is that she no longer wishes to be an observer but an active participant. it's motivation, but it's not meaning, and her attempt pales in comparison to the audacity of her narrative forebear. this stunt moved her from 1-dimensional to 2. she still lacks pathos. aranea is a dime store vriska, and it's really funny that her shitty orchestrations were undercut with dumb soul suck powers out of nowhere.
This entire forum needs more slurpee post.
oh hey vriska, is that some character growth?
I feel meh on that death like it mattered.

if I had any ambition I'd rush to release a shitty Flash game called "Andrew Hussie's Namco High Dating Sim"
Quote from: AnkhClock;1961612So in Andrew Hussie's Namco High Dating Sim you can romance the ship from Galaga.
haha oh god this character roster
i'm willing to bet that the authors working on it will appear in it at some point.
I'm really hoping for a character from either mr driller or soulcalibur because as is I don't have any desire to see any of those things naked
maybe the monkey girl i guess
I hear that Full Throttle 2 has full frontal nudity.
Quote from: KeyClock;1961619I don't have any desire to see any of those things naked
I think that's the point
Quote from: AndrewI've been thinking this over for the last few weeks, and I've decided now is the best time to suspend all regular updates until I've finished the story, rather than pausing just before I start on the final animation. When I'm done, I'll post it all at once. There are a lot of reasons why I think this is the best strategy.
Primarily, it's about efficiency, and being able to work on the remaining (and likely the most difficult parts) of the story without distractions, or the added challenge of having to crank out the next serial update as fast as possible, which means I always have to stay totally linear with the work. This way I can produce the rest of it more comprehensively, prepare animation assets in advance, do more stuff in parallel, etc. It will go faster. And ultimately, I think it'll read better as one thing, rather than as a sequence tortuously spread out over time, as has been the norm for years. I think it's close enough to the end now to safely retire Homestuck as a serial reading experience. There's nothing to be gained from that presentation anymore, in my view. It's just time to bear down and get it done.
I guess we're breaking for a long time on a big cliffhanger, but there's no way around that. Actually, pausing at any point later would probably be even worse, as it keeps pushing into endgame territory. That's why I'm stopping now instead of later. With such a big readership, the reactions will only get crazier, and the demand for new updates will get more intense. Over time, knowing so many people are slamming refresh many times per day starts to be more of an omnipresent distraction than anything. I think there is sort of a perception that I am creatively feeding off the hysteria surrounding the comic, but on a very practical level this is not true. Creating entertainment is not really a lifestyle of madcap shenanigans. It is a very sober, often dull process that requires a huge amount of time and concentration. It will be better to disarm the hype machine while I get the hard stuff done.
So what is the itinerary? Need to finish A663 through A666, and then A7. Keep in mind that these sub acts can be literally any length, even one page. There's a good bit of ground to cover, but most of the effort will be tied up in animation chores.
I don't really have a time estimate here, and am not sure there's any real advantage in coming up with one. It'll just be a while. I also have to allocate some time to work on the Kickstarter game. That didn't stop being a thing I have to do. It's coming along. I'll probably have a more substantive update on that before the end of the year. There hasn't been much to report yet since it's mostly been in a high level planning and writing phase. And firming up tons of legal minutiae. Stuff like that.
But I will say there is something new to watch out for next month. Kind of a secret project I'm involved with, unrelated to MSPA or the KS game. Well, it's technically not that secret. It's only secret if you don't know about it yet. Meditate on those profound words, and keep an eye out for news on this in coming weeks.
Oh yeah. Almost forgot, I'll have to take some time to port the site to a new server. Obviously it hasn't been cutting it the last couple months. So we'll work on that soon. Hopefully the new service will be able to handle the massive heart attack the next batch up updates will represent.
During the gigapause, there should still be plenty to see here in the news section. Whether it's about the aforementioned projects, or new product releases, there'll be a lot going on. Trust me, the coolest stuff at What Pumpkin this season has yet to be released.
RIP homestuck
seems kind of an odd thing that there's literally only going to be one more homestuck update.

It's been a long time coming, thank god.
the homestuck fandom is going to rapidly die over the course of the next few months
then one day, probably april 13, the update will come
and millions of fans will flock to a single website, trying to read hundreds of pages
and I will be among that group of people to find out the update happened just a little too late and I will have to sit there for hours clicking refresh hoping I can someday actually read it instead of getting hit with a 503 error that will probably last for days
i dont care what new servers hussie gets, his website will not handle an update like this

This is exactly what is going to happen.
Am I the only one who approves of this? Releasing in chunks is a much better way to digest a story than the regular webcomic one page at a time method. I read it in chunks anyways, so this is perfect for me.

I agree, but
the old format worked really well during act ~3/4, because Hussie's insane update schedule would reward you for doing stupid shit like checking for updates at 4 in the morning, and at the time the story was still simple enough and the content still good enough that the story was generally fresh in your memory
the story is really complex now and since, like, act 5, there've been times where I read an entire update without realizing I have no idea what the context is
like, I have no idea how everybody ended up wherever they all are right now
in, like, the same vicinity
there's big gaps in my understanding of these events
that I'm going to have to go back and read
maybe
Update! Looks like this thing is almost nearly wrapped up. I think there's going to be one more update after this, though. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/?cid=047.jpg)
its sbahj
Namco High updated, it looks like Terezi is going to be a character. (http://namcohigh.com/) Merch section also says there will be three Homestuck characters in the game so there's that.

pretty on the nose.
like haha he's the homestuck guy.
but namco high clearly has its roots in
shifty look's content more than mspa.
granted, hussie is a bigger name than when they pulled in kurtz and straub for the mappy animated series, but this seems pandering.
you know they're only doing this because of homestuck's rabid fanbase that are all going to want their favorite troll. it's gonna get people talking
it makes me want it to end up being something idiotic, like fefeta, or john's refrigerator.
speaking of kurtz and straub, though, webcomics have got their stank all over this.
8-bit theater guy, monster pulse gal, helvetica person, once upon a pixel lady; I'll be surprised if ryan north, k.c. green, and kate beaton don't show up.
also tessa stone lol. I thought she fell off the face of the internet after she got involved in a lawsuit with a small press publisher over failing to update her shitty fast-forwarded soft yaoi webcomic for 2 and a half years.
I stopped reading 8 bit theater around when they were burning down cities to spell out a threatening message I think. I know they had beat the water temple by the time I lost track of it. Did it ever end?

Albatross kinda reminds me of Handsome Jack, based on look alone.

I think so, but I stopped reading before you did. Brian clevinger went on to make a Real comic called Atomic Robo, which I haven't read but I heard resembles Hellboy.
this is all things I just remember and am not bothering to fact check

terezi is not a namco character get the fuck out i want to date the billboard from pole position

update, that maybe came out a few days ago, i guess
http://namcohigh.com/
well that uh
sure is a dating sim
this happened
(http://i.imgur.com/3l7XetL.png)
heh.
but I didn't get passed the intro anyway
dating sims idk. not my bag, apparently.
lmbo@microtransactions
out of 18 characters, 9 cost $1.95 to unlock (or $4.95 for a pack of three, wow what a bargain!!!)
the 3 homestuck characters appear to be unlockable only by buying all the other characters in a $14.95 deluxe pak, which is cool because the homestuck fandom is loaded with cash
the 6 characters you (probably) don't have to pay for are galaga, lolo, valkyrie, anti-bravoman, meowkie, and al b. tross
Hussie still milking Homestuck? Is it still even good anymore? Seems like his self-referential in-joke empire would have crumpled in on itself by now but who knows.
Has he rebooted Problem Sleuth yet?
At least they kept the Tekkens out of that Namco High bullshit.
he hasn't updated in a couple months
says he's planning to finish the story in one big chunk
also wrong King is in it
god dammit hussie
harada why did you let him molest tekken whyyyy
Quote from: Buttplug;1965282Is it still even good anymore?
Not
as good as often, but still pretty decent and the story was moving along up till the hiatus. Just pick up where you left off when the final update comes out. You know, assuming the sudden titanic load on his servers doesn't collapse the entire internet into a DDOS singularity.
It isn't as funny anymore, I don't think he's trying to be, but like Flounds said it's finally at a point where he's focusing on wrapping up the story so the story has been clipping along at a pretty good pace. With it so close to the end I can't imagine just quitting.
Someone requested I draw their fantroll. I delivered.

Well, considering his past successful efforts of ridicule and satire were too offensive for the sensitive fans, the overall aspect of satire in Homestuck has dwindled. :/ Hussie was actually enjoying himself before his fans were scratching at his way of humor...
QuoteGreetings, and Happy New Year. Welcome to the First Annual Homestuck Kickstarter Update of 2013!!!
Much progress has been made on the adventure game since the Kickstarter ended. The game design work is mostly complete, thanks to the gritty combined efforts of myself, the developers, and those who for now I will refer to as Mystery Friends. Please observe the graphic below for evidence of this fact. This is a behind the scenes look at the true nature of Professional Game Design. A rare glimpse if you will at what Top Dev Honchos refer to as ââ,¬Å"the big leaguesââ,¬Â.
(http://mspaintadventures.com/scraps2/gamenotes_highres.jpg)
(Click image for high resolution version, to read all the juicy details.)
Even though a lot has been done so far, there have not been many junctures which I have felt would make for good Kickstarter updates along the way. Primarily this is because I want to avoid spoiling stuff as much as possible, and without such specifics, there tends to beââ,¬Â¦ not a lot to report! There has been high level planning. There has been legal shuffling. Some modeling. Gamepley mockups. Entire sketchpads filled with gibberish. All such material tends to fall into one of two camps. Either too boring to bug you with, or TOO HOT FOR TV! It would be cool to be able to drop some killer screenshots on you, from strategically vague and mysterious moments throughout the game, but the fact is, that kind of content wonââ,¬â,,¢t be available until the whole thing is nearly ready for prime time anyway. So until then, I hope you will bring yourself to enjoy nigh-impenetrable offerings such as these.
I guess I could announce the name of the developer, but even that I would like to wait until just the right moment I have in mind. (My reasons for keeping them a secret are also a secret!) But for now I will say theyââ,¬â,,¢re good at making games and itââ,¬â,,¢s been a lot of fun working with them so far.
So what can I say about the game for now? How about I start by clarifying what the game is NOT. I hope Iââ,¬â,,¢m not using too much vertical space to state the obvious here. But Iââ,¬â,,¢ve seen enough conjecture like this to think some selective debunking may be in order.
- You will not be able to design or customize characters. The game includes a hard wired cast of protagonists.
- The game will not involve Sburb. It wonââ,¬â,,¢t be some crazy MMORPG involving kids playing Sburb and the insane number of things that would entail. For one thing, Sburb is a very broad and ambitious game concept which implies a project with a much bigger budget than the one this has. For another thing, that idea is not quite what an ââ,¬Å"adventure game" is. And besides, in my view, a bunch of kids playing Sburb is what Homestuck is about. This game will be about something different.
- Game will not be multi-player. Again, thatââ,¬â,,¢s not really how adventure games work.
- No voice acting. VA in this game sounds like a can of worms to me, and too easy to do badly. Iââ,¬â,,¢m personally not that big on VA in games like this anyway. I think itââ,¬â,,¢ll be a stronger product without it.
If you already knew all that, thanks for bearing with me! If you didnââ,¬â,,¢t, and are disappointed by those facts, I am sorry.
Now here are some things that the game WILL have!
- New characters. All major characters in the game have never appeared in Homestuck before.
- New story. As mentioned, does not involve Sburb, but does take place within same fictional realm as Homestuck. Events of story have only a loose relation to canon HS storyline. It is not necessary to read HS to play game.
- Involves trolls.
- Concept of game heavily implies a second game (though not necessarily a sequel). But there will be no plans to make another game until this one is released, and we determine whether it makes sense to start developing another.
- See below.

That does it for the First Annual Homestuck Kickstarter Update of 2013! I can only hope it was at least mildly frustrating for you to read, because that probably means you want to play the game. Thanks to backers and readers alike for their ongoing support. Stay tuned for more news next year!
that is old as hell flounderman
Is it? I hadn't heard of it till just now. Forgive me if it was posted in this thread before I don't always keep up with it and I havent refreshed MSPA's website since like, november.

but I haven't seen it
So thanks
Same here.
Still not sure if I'm going to get that game when it comes out but neat anyway.
Sent u all a pm ;)

Man I wonder if I even like Homestuck anymore. The more I've been distanced from it because of this break the less I really care.
yeah same. I'll still read it whenever he gets finished though.
Homestuck updated!
The website crashed!

And of course the DA is real.

Man, I'm actually finding this pretty funny.
serious question here:
is homestuck worth watching?
and what is it about?
because, when i read the homestuck-wiki, all i got was ''everyone dies'' and ''some are immortals'' and stuff.
Quote from: BilliardBall10;1977274because, when i read the homestuck-wiki, all i got was ''everyone dies'
No that's basically it
speaking of
Every bit of that flash involving John and Caliborn was hilarious. My opinion on the rest of it is as follows:
(http://files.myfrogbag.com/eopqkk/calibornconfusion2.png)
Someone wrote Dirk's Pony Pals edit in its entirety and it is amazing. (http://detective-pony.tumblr.com/tagged/page/chrono)
christ, i forgot how large this thread was. updates are rolling out regularly again.
Booyeah. Double Roses. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/scraps/smuut17.gif)
BTW, Homestuck has once again resumed.
In case some of you are still interested and didn't know yet.
man I might actually not care haha weird

Yeah I've bitched endlessly about this on another forum but basically Hussie screwed up a lot with Act 6 being so long without a lot of plot progression, wiping a good chunk of it away anyway with the Ret-John, and getting tied up with 500 hiatuses along the way.
I mean the Hiatuses are almost defensible considering Hussie had to keep starting and stopping work on the game after the Odd Gentlemen stole all his money, but they simply killed the momentum of an already sputtering comic.
The flash was cool to watch though. I hope Vriska wins.
I... think Homestuck is over.
Nothing was resolved in the slightest, but it was anime in the end, and I appreciate that.
IDK how to spoiler on this forum so don't read my post until after you've seen the Homestuck Ending, if you still care about Homestuck.
Like it's not even an cool Evangelion-type open ending. It's like you set up the DVR wrong and it didn't record the last fifteen minutes of your show.
should i read homestuck y/n
also how many years of my life will it take to read it from beginning to end

No and seven respectively
wanna go back to Act 4 when everything was new and exciting and full of potential and riveting puzzles and updates were any time of any day
I just caught up and I gotta say, I'm pretty underwhelmed. what a cop-out. even with all the spectacle in the second flash. the first flash was really boring to watch for the most part, just a bunch of mostly bad fanart tweened around and long pointless fights that all felt like someone else trying to imitate Dave: Accelerate, and not really getting it right. Most of Collide just felt aesthetically off somehow, like most of his flashes have since he started using fanart. some of it really does work but over half of it doesn't.
Nothing was even resolved either, they didn't even beat lord english or explain what the treasure they were gonna defeat him with was. I felt absolutely nothing when the condesce died, "oh, roxy stabbed her, thats over I guess". it wasn't even cool. I think out of all of this the only parts I liked were the dad bits. seeing him sort-of reunite with john was the only bit of emotion I felt during both flashes. finally seeing the new world wasn't exciting either, it didn't feel like the story earned it yet. it just sort of happened. It reminded me of how knights of sidonia ended, except even less satisfying. It was practically the same ending minus the bad guy actually being defeated on screen. I don't think I'll be looking into either Nihei or Hussie's next works.

the first four acts were god damn magical. I felt that way about hivebent and part of A5A2 as well.

lol i didn't hear about hussie getting robbed. I haven't followed the game at all. the first trailer didn't pique my interest. what happened? and yeah act 6 was a mess looking back at it. so little actually happened, and so little was revealed about their universe. it should have only been as long as act 4.
I sort of fell out of Homestuck uh...quite a few years ago. I really love Andrew's writing, art, and animation..It's sad to hear the conclusion was a disappointment. I guess I won't be catching up on the story anytime soon.

Yeah here's the story long since deleted from Tumblr: http://pastebin.com/e1YQQzMN (http://pastebin.com/e1YQQzMN)
QuoteOriginal Post (now deleted?): http://ipgd.tumblr.com/post/123230861032/im-sure-that-everyone-has-noticed-by-now-that-the
i’m sure that everyone has noticed by now that the homestuck game is very, very late. boy, do i have a fun reason why!
you may remember that what pumpkin announced that the game studio “the odd gentlemen†was originally attached to develop the game, and you may also remember that they quietly moved to in house development in 2014. what they didn’t tell you: the reason they did this was that odd gentlemen stole kickstarter money and spent it on king’s quest.
i imagine most of us who backed the homestuck game kickstarter are pretty curious about what was going on there. i’ve done some work on the comic and talk to andrew from time to time, so i tried asking about what happened and got some very cagey non-responses. eventually, he tells me he actually can’t tell me anywhere but through kickstarter because of a settlement he signed (already fishy). so, i sent in an inquiry through KS and what i got was a big steaming load of bullshit worse than anything i could have imagined. i’m talking multiple counts of embezzlement and fraud.
according to the timeline in the doc i got, WP gave 788k to TOG in 2012 to develop hiveswap. they then proceeded to do next to nothing, completely blowing off the dev schedule that they agreed to. (the game was supposed to be done by oct 2014. instead, that was when WP ended up having to switch to in house development and start from scratch.) the doc included a detailed rundown of everything TOG actually did. in summary:
“Over 8 months of development, TOG produced exactly one “playable buildâ€. It is a single room, involving one character, no animation, and almost no other key features. Virtually nothing works properly. It was submitted in February of 2014, and no improvements or additional versions were submitted beyond that date.â€
a link to it was included in the doc. it’s… probably the worst thing i’ve ever seen in my life?? if you try to click on ANYTHING, joey runs into a bookcase and flies into the air and the demo gets stuck. the only thing that distinguishes it from an out-of-the-box adventure creator demo is its very subpar models and the fact it is unplayably bugged.
at some point TOG apparently just completely gave up working on hiveswap, because they were tapped to develop king’s quest (you can see them admit this in public here at about 1 minute into this video). however, instead of dropping out of developing the game, they decided to just… not tell WP, and proceeded to spend the money they were given on KQ’s development instead.
eventually, after months of platitudes and refusals to communicate (at one point andrew even moved across the country to be able to visit TOG’s offices and get the ball rolling on development, but they wouldn’t even let him come in), WP realized that they’d have to drop TOG, so they terminated the contract in late 2014.
at that stage, TOG said they had 390,000 dollars left of the money WP gave them that they hadn’t spent on “development†or taxes. but, get this â€" in the 7 months it took them to agree on a settlement for returning the money, they spent 170,000 of it on king’s quest. seriously. like, they didn’t even try to hide it â€" they straight up spent it after they’d already officially stopped working on the game, and were just like, haha, whoops? pay you back later i guess.
this isn’t acknowledged in a binding settlement like the king’s quest embezzlement is, but i’m pretty sure most of the 190k they claim they spent on hiveswap’s development before they picked up KQ went into neil gaiman’s wayward manor. they picked THAT up at around the time they were supposed to start working on hiveswap, and admitted the workload was conflicting with their ability to devote time to hiveswap. given the egregiously overstated man hours claimed for how little work they actually did, and the fact they admittedly stole the money for another game, i think it’s a pretty obvious conclusion to reach.
it doesn’t look like there was ever a point where TOG wasn’t funneling homestuck’s KS money into another game. it’s unclear whether they EVER actually intended to seriously develop the game. they straight up signed up to steal money from us.
andrew mentioned that this was one of the biggest reasons for the gigapause, and that all the logistics of dealing with TOG’s incompetence meant he couldn’t get much work done on the comic in that time.
why am i posting this? well, king’s quest was developed with stolen money, so it’s probably in your best interest to know this before you buy it. all things considered, it’s a miracle that hiveswap is doing as well as it is â€" at this point, i think hiveswap has moved past this fiasco and isn’t in any danger of falling through. it’s uh, pretty late, but from what i’ve seen, they’re well on their way to an Actual Game that may be Actually Good despite getting jerked around by a circus of incompetent clowns for 8 months.
at this point, i’m not sure what to DO about this. what pumpkin is bound by the settlement they had to sign if they wanted to get any of the money back at all, so there’s not much that they themselves can do to retrieve the money TOG stole from us. i actually tried messaging sierra, the company that licensed KQ to TOG, but they don’t seem to care that KQ was made with stolen money. maybe activision might want to know. in any case, it’s important that this info get out there so people know what they’re dealing with when buying something from the odd gentlemen.
wow, those guys from ''the odd gentlemen'' group are d*cks.
they should be sued. (and the court should confiscate some of their personal items/properties, in order to make reparations for the losses of andrew/hussie/(the KS funds)/the unfair redistribution of supporters funds to a third-party gaming company.
(this could easily be considered ''corporate sabotage/failure of contract/fraud'' in any court. thats one of the many ways on how the TOG should be dealt with.... bastards.)
as for the homestuck comic, i'll pass.
