Pyramids and Neon might be my favorite land. Fefnepsprite is definitely my favorite mashup sprite. And the birthday party was going to be my favorite thing, but then I realized Roxy alchemized a special hat for everyone, and half the group isn't even gonna be there.
So, if it's now (finally!) 4/13/2012 in canon, when will the kids and trolls show up? I have to wonder if the party is also anticipating their arrival...
You see, man, the whole thing with the mustache stomping is symbolic, maan. It's all about her rejecting the manly, maan. Her projecting that moustache from Jake's beta self, maan. It means she's growing up.
So, let's recap here:
Jane still has horrible communication skills Jake still has the worst comprehension skills A table got flipped, the silly mustache com was destroyed. And the beta kids are a day away.
Way too many people didn't realize that the moustache was a microphone
Also, I think tumblr's using Jake as a scapegoat for all the oblivious romantic interests that the tumblrites have come in contact with. You'd be able to find your way back to the dashboard by the lights of his burning effigies, if that was a real thing that you could do.
It's really more of them cheering on Jane for smashing the oblivious boy to pieces.
And there's always a few outliers who defend Jake, claiming that he lived on an island (which is a lame excuse) and that he's trying his best to understand Jade (which is true)
Also obsessing over the fact that Jake said 'Ay caramba'
And copypasting Fefetasprite's face onto the same picture of feta cheese. The exact same picture of feta cheese.
Honestly, the macro I posted earlier's the best thing to come out of the 'upd8' tag since this all started.
I dunno, I'd argue that after living in isolation for so long you'd expect him and Dirk to have turned out a lot weirder than they did, actually. Real kids (and indeed other organisms) raised in total isolation are barely capable of more than rocking back and forth on the spot and flinching away from physical contact.
So, Gcat's a really terrible plot device. There, I said it. You can't just make a character whose existence revolves around being arbitrary in the most annoying way possible.
I mean, yes, a lot of characters in Homestuck are arbitrary (e.g. Gamzee), but that's not the sole essence of their existence.
Keep in mind the Condesce can control GCat, so this is probably part of her plan.
She's controlled him once, in the battle against Dirk's brother and Roxy's mom. That's the only time that the Tavros mind-control symbol showed up on him.
Then again, Vriska's mind-control symbol doesn't always show up either.
Maybe GCat bugs me because his doing stuff like this in order to preserve the timeline reminds me of when Vriska did that. And I hated it when Vriska did that

It's also been shown in at least one shot of GCat just curled up on her lap. To me that indicates that GCat's not just acting to preserve the timeline (which I agree is kind of unsatisfying as motivation, although really Vriska was just using that as an excuse to do what she wanted to do anyway) but on the queen's orders. I mean, mind control or not he's literally her lapdog. Well, cat.

There he goes
Ding, ding ding goes the trolley

Jake's face was the 8est thing.

Seeing that she was there, a table was there, and she wasn't wearing a hat to throw down in disgust.
This is awesome.

But yeah, he doesn't deserve hate from the fans over this.

Tumblr has hailed the umbrella exile the 'Emperor of I Am So Done With This Mess'.
Also, the Nice Abscond.
Also, people are starting to get antsy about people taking sides in this whole foxtrot of a mess.
Frankly, everybody's being stupid and/or emotional and/or inconsiderate. All four of them.

Am I being too harsh on Jane/charitable to Roxy here?

She's still terrible at consoling Jane, but
