"8" balls. White. Cue balls.

Is she talking to Lord English? What does that mean?

close, but no tamale

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-13 20:50:29

Hmmm. White text... I guess I will.

Vriska does, it seems, have a likeable side, but it doesn't come out much. She does seem genuinely sad about the death of GA's lusus, for instance; and despite calling her meddlesome, seems to think of GA herself as a friend. Three cheers for moral ambiguity, I suppose?

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-13 21:08:40

Gamzee is eating slime pie with imps while Equius fumes. That is a thing.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-13 21:14:24

Equius is...

He's repressing some things. As in, he's repressing a lot of things. Just, wow.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-13 22:16:26

And now we meet Doc Scratch. Oh my. Things are getting most intriguing, aren't they...

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-13 22:46:20

Aradia is snogging Equius while covered in her own blood and Nepeta is revising her shipping wall. Strangely, I approve of this.

Ugh, Gamzee.

Obā-san · 2013-07-13 23:00:08

Gamzee is my least fave character most definitely

Aliroz · 2013-07-13 23:12:53

Most definitely.

i REaLlY HatE ThIS qUIRk.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-13 23:22:21

So far, I don't really dislike Gamzee. He's clueless and obnoxious, but he isn't actively irritating to me, and the panel of him with his lusus was actually kind of moving. That said, I can see why he would bug people, and I have heard that he gets much worse later, so... we shall see.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-07-14 00:10:17

He is, without a doubt, the least important character in Homestuck

Why did Hussie even put him in the comic

Obā-san · 2013-07-14 00:11:36

Hehehehe

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-14 00:19:12

^^ & ^ I get the feeling that there is a joke here that I will be getting by the time that I catch up which is obscure to me now...

I want Kanaya's lipstick chainsaw.

Aliroz · 2013-07-15 15:16:20

Also, I don't like swearing, and that's why I don't like Karkat and Gamzee.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-15 18:31:48

Most of the characters do swear, at some point, though. It's just that Karkat and Gamzee use curse words for punctuation, albeit for completely opposite reasons.

Also, I am back.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-07-15 18:39:49

Good.

Naney was worried about pirates and whatnot.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-15 18:46:17

I noticed.

Also, "you are so the vvillage twwo wwheel devvice" is one of the more amusing variants on "boo, you whore!" that I have yet heard.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-15 20:39:10

Oh wow. Feferi is like Troll Jesus, and Eridan is like Wannabe Troll Hitler, and they are best friends.

This is pure wacky sitcom genius.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-07-15 21:03:44

That's....kind of an over-simplification.

Eridan's more Troll Hipster Wizard Hitler, and Feferi's more Troll Baldur/Jane Goodall.

Also, now that you've met Eridan, you are now allowed to investigate the "seahorsedad" meme.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-07-15 21:06:37

noooo don't investigate memes. -_- Memes and fanon and fandom stuff will ruin the experience.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-07-15 21:07:42

I mean, she's like Baldur in that she's the nicest one in the cast and everybody else likes her. And other reasons.

She's not Baldur in that she's killed by mistletoe thrown by a blind god.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-07-15 21:11:04

She's also kind of like Troll Nyarlathotep, what with the giant tentacle lusus and all.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-15 21:15:22

She's also kind of like Troll Nyarlathotep, what with the giant tentacle lusus and all.

Well, seeing as they are trolls, their equivalent to the Messiah would be Nyarlathotep. Which was sort of the logic behind my joke there.

On a different note:

AH employs a daring execution of AUTHORTECH -> LADDER TO SELF INDULGENCE behind his own back. It keeps happening.

All MSPA readers make a solemn vow to do an acrobatic fucking pirouette off the stump and blow their brains out if it doesn't stop keep happening.

The meta bits are so much fun.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-07-15 21:25:51

Eh, she's closer to Troll Samuel than Troll Jesus, if we're going by troll to Bible comparisons.

And you're at metalevel 3. You should be fine until you get to, like, level 6 or something.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-07-15 21:27:26

ssshhhh don't spoil the metalevels. ^_^ That is half the fun of the plot.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-15 21:36:33

Eh, she's closer to Troll Samuel than Troll Jesus, if we're going by troll to Bible comparisons.

...but that would ruin my relatively subtle Whose Line Is It Anyway? reference.

*huff*

Anyway.

PCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-07-15 21:37:28

:D

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-15 21:52:36

By the way, the little touches like how Nepeta's bangs form the fangs on her cat-hood are delightful. Speaking of which, Nepeta never fails to make me smile. Her schtick should wear on me, but it does not. She ties with Aradia as my second favourite of the trolls at this point in the story.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-07-15 21:54:19

Everyone loves Nepeta. :)

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-15 22:05:34

FCA: gams advvice is fuckin useless all he told me wwas to enjoy a bevverage
CCG: NO, DUDE, DON'T DRINK THAT SHIT. IF IT WERE UP TO HIM WE WOULD ALL DRINK FAYGO AT ONCE IN SOME RITUALISTIC RAP CLOWN SUICIDE PACT.
CCG: BUT INSTEAD OF COMMITTING SUICIDE THE THING THAT WE ALL ACCOMPLISH IS BECOMING INSTANTANEOUS ASSHOLES WITH AWFUL TASTE.
FCA: i mean
FCA: its not evven that bad

Gamzee's plot usefulness is revealed: To make other people say hilarious things.

^ I do!

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-16 00:47:57

Terezi knows Karkat's blood colour now. For some reason. Some reason involving close personal proximity.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-16 01:14:28

So, Diamonds Droog makes a casual suggestion, and Aradia does... exactly what he would have done. I also love how Terezi cheerfully bitch-slaps Vriska when she wakes up on Prospit. Again, I love those two.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-16 02:58:43

With the benefit of hindsight, the arc of Kanaya's conversations with Rose makes for a very interesting narrative.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-16 23:32:48

Terezi is Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff Prometheus. The time paradox reacharounds here are glorious.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-16 23:55:53

"Oh, ha ha. If smug was a motorcycle, it just jumped over a fucking canyon. The crowd goes wild with dismay, then commits mass suicide."

This conversation. I can't stop laughing.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-07-17 00:03:21

So, how's your first Bound-Style Walkabout treating you?

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-17 00:04:42

Pardon?

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-07-17 00:06:02

Alterniabound is the first of quite a number of flash pages in Homestuck in which you walk around as different characters and interact; many of them are called "[something]-bound" by fans.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-07-17 00:07:05

There were a few prior to it, but I mean Alterniabound is the first to have that "old jrpg" style.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-07-17 00:07:35

[S] Past Karkat: Wake up, I think, is Alterniabound's page name.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-07-17 00:16:47

Specifically, the design of the sprites are based on Earthbound, and the PCs of Earthbound can be found in an easter egg, thus the --bound appelation.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-17 00:22:47

Oh, I was right before that part when you said that. I am now doing that. It is quite fun.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-17 00:51:36

Nic Cage wall. Oh my.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-17 01:27:27

"This... is... BLASPHEMY!"

Thank you for suddenly making yourself less annoying in the most ludicrous way possible, Gamzee.

Also, Eridan has a hate-crush on Sollux. That is beautiful. And Rose continues to be great.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-17 01:41:38

Equius and Dave are having a marvelous conversation. With rapping about strapped musclebeasts. Wow.

I can't wait to see your reaction to [S] Jade: Enter. Which should be coming up soon if you are where I think you are.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-17 01:50:52

I think that I probably am! I am currently reading Dave's conversation with Davesprite about SORDS.

Yep. Less than 100 pages. This is gonna be fun. *excited*

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-07-17 02:00:28

oohhhhhhhhhhhh *now* I remember. *THAT.*

8D

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-07-17 02:05:38

*...*

That was trippy as hell.

I enjoyed it.

It makes a lot more sense when Feferi puts things in context, but that was legitimately kind of disturbing.
