I started reading Homestuck shortly before that (on the page when John was freaking out about Gushers being made by Betty Crocker) and I can confirm that yes, that painting has always been there.

dumb brunette posted:Hey I have a question unconnected to Lord English stuff: It's been there. I remember because it was the first time I ever saw that painting, and it's not something I could ever forget  I was thinking, the outer gods were the ones who helped Dave to map the coordinates for the Green Sun and presumably chose Rose to be the navigator. Did they know that it wasn't going to be there and that they would, in fact, create it? Or did time poo poo preclude them knowing that Dave and Rose would arrive at its time of creation and explode it into existence? It seems like all the speculation that English is killing the horrorterrors doesn't jive with the fact that they were instrumental with bringing him into being, and of all the players in this they seem to be the ones least likely to be slaved to paradoxical inevitability so their motives for why they'd help to create the Green Sun if LE is killing them seems pretty inscrutable. Which I guess goes with the unknowable cosmic gods motif but isn't very satisfying. Mr. Pumroy fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Nov 3, 2011 |

I just had a thought about the new reset session that everyone is heading towards. The kid-guardians have their own personalities and will probably have titles that are different from the kids. They might not even be of light, breath, space, and time and might even match the remaining living trolls. (Who would be of rage??) Either way I'm interested in seeing those characters and what they'll all do.

I always had a hunch Skipper Plumbthroat/The Squiddles might have some sort of weird connection to LE/The Horrorterrors. After all, if the Horrorterrors are as friendly as Rose wants us to believe...

Going through the archives, it's kinda sad reading Karkat's first interactions with the kids (earliest chronologically for the kids, that is), because he's loving broken compared to how he is most of the time due to how much he has gone through, and he's just trying to get them to listen but it's the first or second time they've ever talked to him and they just tell him to gently caress off.

They can be but I'd hope that that whatever the hell lie that could fool a bunch of cosmic terror gods gets elaborated on at some point because that seems like it'd be a big thing. Either that or they were intending all along to create the green sun and subsequently Lord English, which is much simpler.

Not even sure if I should post this but a friend who keeps up with Homestuck stuff on 4chan told me there's apparently some big plan over there to buy Hussie and his girlfriend a box of dildos and have them mailed to his house. I mean, you know, 4chan, so maybe it's just a running joke, but he seemed to think they were reasonably serious about it. Supposedly they'd aimed for and raised 270$ on paypal for it? It might be worth giving him a heads-up. Hopefully it's just another stupid 4chan joke that doesn't get off the ground, or it's someone with a paypal account scamming people who think they're honestly going to buy a bunch of dildos for Hussie.

Hussie will find some way to pay for Olive Garden in exchange for dildoes. Edit: To be serious though, I don't see any point in that even from a lovely "for the lulz" perspective. Dude wrote Humanimals, he's not gonna be all weirded or creeped out. I imagine he'll just think that's dumb and throw them out.

So what do you guys think would happen if John rolled all 8s when he hit something with his Pop-O-Matic Vrillyhoo hammer? Would we get a human Ancestral Awakening, akin to Vriska's perfect roll? Massive insta-death damage? Vriska resurrection? Monster Howie Mandell peeing into a foe's juice container? Side note: I love how over the course of the comic we've gone from chess, to cards, to pool. If there is somehow another game motif that arises and dominates the comic I hope it's that dumb horse-racing-with-pegs thing.

Hmm. Y'know, for a moment let's look at this page, and the page after. It's the same clock that goes nuts in the Lord English reveal, but instead of the Breath symbol it's got English's poolball. Also, the clock flashes all kinds of colours in John's God Tier resurrection, just like with English. Maybe ALL God Tiers are in some way related to English. Edit: Lord English is a god tier player and his title is the Pimp of Pool. Slime fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Nov 4, 2011 |

Hussie's lady already knows about this which means I would assume Hussie does as well. In fact, HUSS WOMAN posted:if i ever receive a strange dildo under unusual circumstances i will put it on a little plaque with some thanks nbd I guess

It's a box full of silicon at the end of the day, even my grandma wouldn't give a poo poo. Mild bewilderment is probably the strongest reaction they can expect.

Any dumb board game would suit me fine, though that was more Problem Sleuth's style. But if anyone can find a way to shoehorn meaningful symbolism into a rousing game of Trouble or Hungry Hungry Hippos, it's AH.

Well, when you think about it, Scratch died and was reborn/transformed/whatever into a more powerful being. This is essentially the god tier mechanic minus the quest bed aspect.

Yeah I don't think Scratch really 'transformed' into Lord English, more like LE used his body as an entry point/basis or whatever.

Well, Lord English does mark universes for consumption by introducing a glitch. What are the chances that he can glitch the God Tier mechanism into God Tiering him? When the derse God Tier players hit God Tier, it was their dreamself that died and transformed.
