I actually laughed out loud (lol I know) when Dave opened the rooftop access hatch and the puppets all came down on him, to be honest most the things Dave did and said had me in stitches (no intentional puppet pun)

So I didn't start actually following the thread until somewhere in the middle of Act 5.1 -- question, way back when Dave was wandering around Bro's apartment finding Muppet Babies / Saw crossover fanart and destroying puppets in blenders, was there any speculation around these parts that (a) Bro is completely unironic about all of the things he likes, and just wears pointy shades and carries around katanas because he earnestly thinks they're AWESOME, and (b) Dave just assumed he was being ironic about it because Dave is a hipster and in denial about his role model being that much of a dork?

Because something about Pony Pals being adorned with "Hell. loving. Yes." rather than "ahahaha this is so dumb jane you gotta see this its the most idiotic thing" or whatever is really strongly suggesting that to me.

e: Also: Court? At night? I'm already laughing! Tell me more!

It's not the fandom (although that's not great), it's Reregular. Check his rap sheet or post history, guy's a rereg (decent pun in his name I'll give him that) who's been probated a dozen times in the two weeks or so since he registered.

Just ignore him and let's keep going. Is Hussie going to do Jake's panels next, or one of the two unrevealed reset guardians?

If you'll look more carefully, all but one of my probations were from FYAD, where they probate you just for making good and funny posts. The other was because I expressed my earnest opinion about something that's apparently "taboo."

I don't see how you putting that idea out there makes it any more palatable. :frogout:

Considering one of the subliminal messages is "DIE", I'm beginning to think that humans on this Earth may be an oppressed indigenous minority Crocker wants to drive to extinction for whatever reason.

Really makes me wonder what the turning point was in this universe's history (besides the First Guardian being different).

edit: probably alien invasion. In the 1950s. Why not?

I'd guess that Jane's eventually going to have a page that loops back to the character select screen, at which point we'll see Jake's simultaneous segment. Once that's done, the character select screen will have a link to whatever comes next. That's how the photo collages worked.

It's also possible that Jane's the only one getting the "DIE", though, since she's the heiress.
Unlikely, but possible. I guess.

So since that looks like her tiara, does this mean Feferi received subliminal messaging? She seemed so nice though. And she's probably too dead to have much further plot significance in any case.

It could be that there's no full scale troll invasion and it's just the Condesce trying to impose Alternian-style society on humanity via subliminal messages. The 'only of your kind' line could be referring to whatever system determines class structure now. Irispectrum?

One of the subliminal messages was "accept your culling", which I assumed was a reference to the coming apocalypse when SBURB starts up and the meteors begin to rain down on the planet, though I guess it COULD have another meaning if Trolls are around. I am just assuming that the Condence is the only Troll in this universe until evidence to the contrary appears, though.

I'm going to guess that Dad is immune to the subliminal messaging (once filtered through his mangrit) and he's keeping Jane inside so she isn't assassinated by the Condesce.

Part of me thinks the whole selection thing was a joke because of how it pointed out that you can't select the ones with "??" or ones with panels that aren't done yet. That only leaves Jane, and it would be Hussie style humor to keep it that way. I hope it does loop back to Jake, though. Either way, the character select screen will probably be used for reals later on even if it isn't now.

I had no doubt it was true, my mom used to be a second grade teacher and had a lot of those stupid books around her classroom. Come to think of it she may even have had that one, though they all sort of blend together in my mind in one amorphous blob of little girl and pony premises. Never actually read any of them but I doubt there wouldn't be a lot to make fun of if Hussie decided to go that route.

It's obviously a joke, considering he said you could go "literally anywhere" except any place that wasn't already introduced or finished, leaving just one person that could be followed. He probably will expand it, but not for a while yet.

Feferi only survived because she had the protection of a gargantuan elder god with genocidal psychic powers; Jane only survives because she has the protection of Dad? Sounds about equal.
