Dirk is perfect. I'm really glad it wasn't Dick, way too predictable.

Equius lives on in Dirk.

I love Hussie's word of god canon

Andrew Hussie on Tumblr posted:

sericereal96 asked:
Who do you consider the tallest of the trolls?

My sense is a lot of people’s headcanons have Gamzee as the tallest troll.

I’m gonna go ahead and canonically confirm that Gamzee is in fact the shortest troll of all.

Busted fan artists.

Busted.

I wonder if shortest troll of all means that he's automatically shorter than even the shortest of the totally canon fantrolls.

Not only were the answers funny and informative, most of the questions were intelligent and insightful. Or maybe Andrew weeded out all the bucketsex ones, who knows.

By far the best Q&A; hopefully Hussie's recognized that the whole thing has blown up past recognition that he abandons all the answering gimmicks.

The Gamecube was awesome, and now that Hussie has said it I'm sure his entire fanbase is going to change their opinions to match him :colbert:

Also I'm disappointed that he just made a follow-up post taking back what he said about Gamzee being The Shortest. Although at least he has acknowledged that we can just imagine every character is whatever race we want and it won't contradict canon.

Speaking of Gamzee, I went to a pretty great pub in Sheffield the other day; the sign over the door read "tHe hArLeQuIn". (If alternating caps has something generically to do with clowns feel free to tell me, knowing things is cool)

You're cool with dabbling in the FINE SEQUENTIAL ARTS, and your work could be viewed by some as BORDERLINE PORNOGRAPHIC. And to those philistines you'll be heard wondering, what the gently caress do you mean BORDERLINE?

Good to see that KidBro, DiStri or just plain Dirk is acutely aware of his perversions, and proud of em. Shine on, you crazy weirdo.

I like how hussie said that naming the character Dick would be too obvious and unfunny, whereas he had three characters under the name Ace Dick in problem sleuth. I was honestly expecting him to be called dick just so it would be a callback to problem sleuth. Imagine all the fiesta jokes he could have made

He said the gamecube was his favourite console waaayyy back in his first formspring, so the info has been out there for a while.

Just wait for the inevitable Post-Scratch kid merchandise, I knew from the second I saw Dirk's shirt that I had to have it.

Also, I think the Hetalia question may have been a subtle(???) attempt to get Hussie to say something bad about the show(since there's pretty much no possible way he wouldn't if he so much as looked up a synopsis of the thing), just to further rile up the whole "Hetalia vs. Homestuck" fandom slapfight on tumblr or whatever.

Edit: VVV Because they're both huge fandoms at the moment, and there was some scuffle between both at a con or something, so there's a vocal minority who decided that there was some kind of fandom gangwar to be had. Vocal minority, mind you, so at least it's not a widespread outbreak of idiocy.

I agree with this, at least in regard to the controller. Most console controllers today feel like they have too much going on.

Also, I enjoy how "The Full Yaoi" is a wrestling move, where-as "The Full Hentai" is a dance move. I can only imagine what that entails...

Never change, Hussie. :allears:

Now that the question time is over, I finally have a question that I'd actually like to ask. Do the characters in Homestuck hear any of the music? Normally they wouldn't, but since they're in a game themselves, I think they might actually be able to hear the music. They probably wouldn't hear their own theme songs, but they probably at least hear the battle music

It wasn't so much that the other trolls didn't like Eridan personally, you see. It was his theme music that led them to hate his guts.
