Level Slide posted:I was in the process of asking if Jade left behind enough recyclable material for the new universe to have Dad, Mom, and Bro as players, but then I realized they all died on worlds that Jade packed when she left the universe. I miss Bro Is there anything more than anecdotal evidence to suggest that the scratch requires players/ancestors to be destroyed in order to have them appear in the new universe? Because I haven't really seen any more than that, and it's beginning to feel like the hard sci-fi teleporter thing where everyone just assumes that you have to destroy the original because [never actually gives a good reason]. The only things I've seen to suggest it are J referring to his grandmother as a witch of space (tenuous, possible semantic bullshittery), and the whole troll ancestors had echoes of memories of the way their world used to be thing (still doesn't require that they be the actual physical same people, which would be impossible anyway seeing as how they were spawned in the new session and lived their entire lives in the new troll universe). So yeah, if there's something other than those that I'm missing, feel free to tell me, otherwise I'm going to keep (Twist version: there are grown-up versions of the kids in the new session, but by the time we get there they're already dead, what with being naturally doomed ancestors and all.  )Gnome de plume posted:Someone went and made a pretty sweet-looking Homestuck title screen (may not work in some browsers).

In the panel where the trolls are all looking at Gamzee showing up, Hussie only drew Karkat's body one shade, the same grey colour as his pants. Fandom seized on this and started drawing fanart, and so Tall Pants Karkat was born!

It was bizarrely hilarious how Hussie wrote the whole thing into the troll ancestors backstory. I had no idea what he was talking about at first.

Plus the Karkat scene was great without breaking too much tension. Also jumping on the "it gets better" bandwagon for GC. Although what really sold me was City Face.

Who did the artwork for Rose and Dave's first appearance on the moon? I assumed it was the same person who drew John on LOHAC, but I guess it wasn't.

But I can't make myself believe it. And for some reason I now have the following in my head: "Your name is J___. You are currently standing by the FOURTH WALL in your late GRANDMOTHER's laboratory. It is your ELEVENTH BIRTHDAY, and you are awaiting the arrival of two VERY SPECIAL GUESTS." That or John and Jade burst out of the Fourth Wall while it's still a part of New Jack Noir's cubicle on Derse, knocking him out. It'd be one less problem for everyone to deal with, at least.

On the topic of Xamag's art (which is indeed excellent), can anyone think of a decent title text for this avatar? I would pick a good quote of Dave's but there's so many that I'm getting swamped for what to pick and none of the ones I've thought of seem to go well with it.

I just thought of something; what if universe frogs eventually leave their Incipisphere birthplaces and enter the furthest ring, where they mature into horrorterrors? edit: What if horrorterrors are universe frogs that have been corrupted by LE's 'glitch' and are thus marked for consumption?

A scratch would also mess with the universe that created the universe that sent players into their medium right? If so, I wonder what effect the ancestor's scratch could have had on B. Slick. (crazy theory about the kids' guardians here)

She apparently likes to draw fanart of her own art. edit: Also, for anyone interested, I found out that the person who drew Rose and Dave's derse dreamselves from the flash was SkepticArcher, who incidentally was behind one of my favourite pieces of fanart. edit 2: At least I think it was SkepticArcher who drew them.
