Wow. We just witnessed a Brobot AI rebellion. This is probably the most out-of-left-field thing to have happened yet.

It almost looks like somebody could assemble a somewhat accurate sprite of D___ Strider now that we see his clothing, his outline, and the fact that he probably has a face very similar to Dave's.

And then watch all of that end up being a red herring.

I'm a little reminded of Davesprite seeming rankled about not being considered the 'real' Dave.

I also think Bro is going to spend the entire session in the shower. The Auto-Responder will play the game in his place.

The robot here is seen on a poster in Dave's room here. The one we're looking at is Square, and the other robot is Sawtooth. They also exist in an art print on the Whatpumpkin website, by Supercar Gautier. It was my desktop for a month straight.

Sawtooth and Squarewave were, if I recall, one of the original ideas for the Homestuck soundtrack - a bunch of fake bands with distinct styles. The Midnight Crew, Felt and Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido albums were the result of the original idea, but Sawtooth and Squarewave (the bot in the bathroom) and their Rapocalypse didn't really happen.

Poor Autoresponder and his deep human feelings, he's pretty much this timeline's Davesprite already :smith:

Though I'm not sure how to feel about Hussie using unwanted homosexually-inclined :roboluv: advances as a way to characterize Bro? There was a lot of that sort of thing with the trolls, but they're an entirely different culture and all that. I guess I'll wait and see if he'll deal with it in a way that's not just "queer (human) character creeps on straight one WHOA!!" Even knowing that basically all the characters are awkward adolescents and pretty bad at dealing with their emotions in some way or another, it still leaves me wary.

This is really dumb and a common complaint about homosexuality in media. You realise there's a bunch of straight characters who talk about kissing each other all the time in the comic already, right? There's this assumption that heterosexuality can be innocent and romantic, but homosexuality is a PG-13 thing - which is really just entirely wrong.

I mean, that apart from the ridiculousness of the complaint based on what's been in the comic already. Do you not remember when Dave was telling Tavros that he'd lucked out on as much pubescent boy dick as he could handle, and talking about his "naked spam porpoise"?

That's kind of academic though, because honestly saying homosexuality is overtly sexual but giving straight romance a pass is just duuuuuuumb and super wrong and I think that needs to be driven home.

I had forgotten to mention this, but thanks for this exposition*. I really did view heteronormative relationships as G and homonormative relationships aa PG-13 or greater, which is not a realistically reasonable point of view. I can't honestly say how I'll end up feeling, but thanks for giving me something to think about

*that is totally not the right word. What word am I looking for here?

Great at giving unsolicited bad advice in the Dota2 thread without having a public profile! You see, it's his shitty teammates that hold him back; he wouldn't want you thinking it's him.

His posts make it sound like he's playing a different game. Seriously.

Supercar Gautier posted:

I approve of the idea that Bro is gay for Jake, because it would mean that all of Jake's friends are crushing on him.


This is from a few pages back, but I think it's important. Given the huge amount of parallels the new session has for the old, I wasn't thinking about troll parallels, but now that I do it seems pretty blatant:

Jane, Mom, and possibly Bro have a crush on Jake -- parallels with Eridan having a crush on everyone else.
Jane is an heiress -- parallels pretty obviously with Feferi being a princess.
Mom seems to love cats -- parallels Nepeta?
Bro makes robots -- parallels Equius? (Also ponies vs muscular hoofbeasts)

Of course, if this is true, it means Mom goes dark sometimes for reasons other than her Void powers. I think it has to do with Rose. Mom seemed to work at the lab that made Sburb and probably knew some of what was going on. Rose has likely learned things too, only uses magic instead and goes grimdark again.

Maybe Bro will just use his Auto-responder to start every conversation, and only intervene if the conversation needs the real him, if it ever does at all. Oh, and when/if he does type, he makes it look like the auto-responder is typing.

I don't know why I like this idea, but I do. Of course, whatever Hussie does with Bro will be gold, I at least feel assured on that.

Oh hey, side note. On the about page of MS Paint adventures Hussie says that he started doing the ms paint adventures originally on "an online forum." Was SA that forum? I vaguely remember an MS paint CYOA with an art and humor style that was very similar to Hussie's several years ago.

It was on what are now the MSPA forums, then known as the Gangbunch forums. Basically a place where Hussie and some of his friends (who all met via the PA forums) hung out and I guess talked about his earlier comics like TSO.

The original Jailbreak thread still exists there.

It's cool because it would basically mean that we'd have one of the kids deliberately trolling/mildly antagonising another. Also that guilt trip was pretty masterful conversation forcing, not that Jake wasn't still a chump to fall for it.
