You guys are aware that home addresses are not private information, right? I mean, sure it's creepy to extract GPS data from pictures, but it's not like this is the only place you could get this information. For example, try looking up a phone number in a phone book -- it'll probably have an address listed right next to it.

Sure, there's probably more than one A. HUSSIE in his city (well, maybe not with that name. But let's pretend there is). But, if you're crazy and local enough to stalk him, then you're probably crazy and local enough to check each listing personally until you find the right one.

Generally people with some degree of notoriety have themselves removed from the listings of telephone directories. AH is a smart man and is undoubtedly one of them. Revealing someone's personal information under those circumstances is uncool.

Just because it's easy to find it out doesn't make it not creepy as gently caress, you know. People have a right to a certain amount of privacy, and that includes internet nerds tracking them down and visiting their house and telling about ALL THEIR SHIPS.

I'm aware of that, which is why I mentioned that. I'm just saying that nothing has actually changed due to this revelation. (indeed, this applies to most everything in the MSPA fandom...)

The metadata thing happened, like, yesterday, right? I doubt they'd make the decision to move so soon afterwards. It's just a coincidence.

I think he mentioned on his old formspring that when he moves, he usually doesn't even unpack much, and just leaves it in boxes. Not for this reason, apparently he just doesn't care that much.

Okay, it's been a while since I laughed this hard at a Homestuck update. John and Jade are so sweet and I'm sad that once this intermission is over it'll be a while (probably another month or so) until we see them again.

If John isn't a total derp he'll think to at least send something with a message on it to the green sun. Maybe a note or a bunny or a consort or something.

If we do indeed have multiple intermissions between now and when the kids and trolls show up in the new session, I hope they span the three years and give us some peeks into the group dynamics.

I imagine suddenly having a brother or sister after being a single child for your whole childhood would get kinda disruptive. Sure, they're friends now, but wait a year or so and they'll be squabbling over the tv remote planet captchacards like, well, siblings.

edit: Huh. If the trolls age a couple years, that would put them at the same age as the young version of the Handmaiden. I wonder if there's any significance to that. Probably not.

Exactly what I was thinking. Whip out a video camera, record a message and ALLY-YOOP it through Portaljade.

This seems likely to me. When the intermission started it seemed more like each intermission would be one point of resolving EOA5, but he's done that pretty neatly so far. The other intermissions are probably going to be Jade and John exploring the planets and doing their personal quests, while the meteor team navigates their way through dreambubbles to find the new session.

So it sounds like they suggested some carapace people survived. Maybe some are okay on the battlefield the same way WV was, or there's some wandering the other planets the way AR and PM were.

It'd be neat if John and Jade spent the next three years gathering up the survivors and founding some sort of community out of them. Depending on circumstances, we could yet see WV be mayor...

Edit: Or they'll found that community of blue-wearing folk that WV dreamed of and WV'll kill 'em all. Kind of hoping that doesn't happen.
