aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


Maturity, best measured in fridge dead-lifts.

Now here's a question, is this the post-Scratch reset version of the fridge from the kids' universe, and if so will it ascend an echeladder and gain boondollars like its august GENERAL ELECTRIC predecessor/self from another timeline?

Might this fridge one day meet up with its pre-Scratch incarnation, assuming it is still in John's house that is on LOWAS that is in the palm of Jade's hand?

Here's hoping yes!

The pre-scratch fridge will cease to exist and merge with its post-scratch dreamself in Jane's Prospitian tower.

Hussie's post on his tumblr kind of implied that people who purchased signed copies should have them arrive before Christmas... or at least he wanted them to arrive before Christmas.

Here's what she said:

GF posted:

Just a warning that getting the signed and doodled option on books from Topatoco will result in delays. I don’t have any way to be more specific about those delays, but if you need or are expecting your book anytime before a specific date, don’t choose the signed option. Andrew, as we all know, is a busy dude, and this is always a popular option, so it could take a while.

And then a reply:

Some dude posted:

As long as it’s before December 30th I’m chill.

GF posted:

This is what I mean! You can’t assume it’ll be before December 30th. This is why I worded that first post in that way :(

It would be a beautiful thing if she really were assassinated after going outside, and if these kids never got their session started.*

I know UU basically nixes that idea, but man, all of this "what x of y are they gonna be?" and "what are their planets going to be like?" getting squished/subverted would be wonderful.

I'm bored.

With Jane/John's track record of breaking furniture and house walls, how do their houses always appear undamaged when they're introduced?

Think about it, that/those house/s should have been leveled by the time both John and Jane had been introduced. They just break everything they touch.

The Hero of Life design has very Earthy colors, I like it. I also like the Hero of Void's symbol.

The Void symbol is the space between the spiral arms of the Space symbol. That's pretty clever.

The Life symbol could also be interpreted as :cthulhu: tentacles, which would have been very appropriate for Fef considering her lusus.

Wasn't sure I liked the Void symbol. I saw it as lazy, just taking an existing symbol and just cutting out part of it, but your observation has changed my mind.

I haven't been generally bothered by it, but the Hero of Life one :stare:
It looks like an entirely different color rather than just being a little off.

There also seems to be a difference in color between the standard tees and the girly tees. Is it just the lighting, perhaps?

My reaction to the Void hoodie was something along the lines of "man, what a rip-off. The symbol doesn't even catch the eye. It's like a big v-.... OHHHHhhhhh"

It's also extremely similar to the Breath symbol. Given the sort of duality exhibited by Space/Void and Breath/Life I wonder if the rest are going to share any elements too.

I guess Time and Mind (and to an extent Light) all have a circle at the centre with a pattern surrounding them?

Although Light is kind of an odd one out anyway, in that its specific design has been in the comic since the start.

Would this mean that the "Eridan is a metaphor for Obama" fandom secrets thing is now canon? Because I think I could live with that.

I already bought a hoodie, but I'm not too poor yet to buy a Void t-shirt. Go ahead Hussie, take all of my money.

Matching t-shirt colors is really hard to do. Shirt styles (standard vs "baby doll" tees) as well as sizes can come in different colors and not all the colors are available for all sizes/styles. Our sabre-toothed lime shirts ended up being like three different colors of green, poo poo was ridiculous.

Did anyone see that tumblr post about Feferi being ableist because she said retarded? There was a bunch of wank about it.

I am all for people not saying rude things but I guess tumblr sort of frustrates me in that they take everything ever as being oppressive, and I feel like that takes away from some very important things when it's applied to everything! :( Especially when they dissect a work to this point to try to say it is being offensive.

I guess I'm also baffled that so many people seem to really dislike Feferi, when she seemed one of the saner trolls from what we saw of her. Yes, she had flaws, but so did everyone else and that's sort of the point.

Tumblr is pretty awful. Or, well, a lot of the people on it are.

I don't like Feferi either, but that has more to do with how her typing quirk makes my eyes water.

The fandom at large also loves/loved Eridan, and many fans did so because they shared his childish mentality that he and Feferi were meant for each other. Since Feferi is construed in the story as being basically self-interested by breaking it off with him (because he's exhausting and whiny and she wants to meet other people), she then becomes in their minds a Cruel Selfish Bitch who's ruining Eridan's true love. And since "Feferi and Eridan talk and have a fight" is pretty much 70% of the characterisation Feferi ever had, it's not like Vriska where fans know her so well that they're endeared to her regardless of the things she did they don't like.

This died off a lot after Eridan killed Feferi and Kanaya, and now his popularity is more a celebration of how douchey and pathetic he is. Prior to that though there were a lot of fairly diehard Eridan fans who thought Feferi was seriously in the wrong in their little plot in Hivebent.
