Another 1? Aww man...
For some reason, the mention that the Sendificator just barely fit Brobot's head makes me worry that Dirk is going to be decapitated and have his head send to places. And because of that I checked and realized that both Li'l Sebastian and Brobot have removed the heads from things. But that can't actually be a sign, right?

This whole ">operate X object" "That's not an X, it's a ZXXZZZXX!" pretence with the user commands is beginning to irritate me. Primarily because he's not accepting "user commands" anymore so it is all pointlessly made up by Hussie himself for badly written exposition.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?

NOLISTENTOME: Luke: Goddammit you thought you threw out this lovely Star Trek fanfiction ages ago.
NOLISTENTOME: Luke: You don't even know where you got it, it just showed up one day. The grammatical errors and plot holes if compiled in a single text could probably kill someone's grandmother.
[Goonstuck]: ("divineDivider") Throw out lovely fanfiction, but not before reading the opening paragraph one last time
NOLISTENTOME: Luke: Well, memories are memories, and you decide to leave it with hopefully a memorable one.
NOLISTENTOME: "Oh Chakotay, I love you so."
"I love you too, Tom."
"You know what would make our love complete?"
"Babies."
"Yes, babies. I want to have your babies, Chakotay."
"I want you to have my babies, Tom."
NOLISTENTOME: Luke: That's enough of that.

quote:

NOLISTENTOME: Luke: You decide to peruse your shelves again, this time with your eyes open, and pick out a classic: Dune. Every day you open palm slam a book into your eyes. It's Dune and right then and there you imagine yourself doing everything alongside the main character, Paul Atreides. Not everyone can say they used to live on the galaxy's biggest wasteland, but can say it, although you don't actually say it to anyone else. You know all the lines yourself and have prepared for a lonely future life by shouting them all in your mind as loud as you can.


On actual Homestuck chat, I think Dirk has the densest room in the comic so far. I don't think we've looked at so many THINGS that apparently matter when the other rooms were shown.

There are. It shouldn't be a surprise, since MLP tends to attract a lot of misfit, pseudo-intellectual teenage guys.

IIRC the TVTropes thread has a hilariously lovely chart someone made that showed how smart MLPs fans were or something like that. It's way back though, and I can't find it ATM.
I am always happy for an opportunity to repost that chart (because it is deeply moving and beautiful)

All I can think of when I try to read that thing is that it would be example 1 in The Big Book of How Not To Do Research Studies in any experimental design class. The person who made that definitely doesn't have a relevant degree (that's right in the DA description), and is self-evidently not a skilled amateur.

As such, that entire graphic is comprehensive poo poo tied to reality only by the author's grasp thereon.

For what it's worth, I know a few MLP fans on Skype. They're pretty okay. I probably talk to them about Homestuck as much as they talk to me about MLP, so it balances out in a series of mutually uncomprehending eye rolls. Probably helps that we're all goons. You're going to see mad fringe stuff in any fandom, especially large ones, and especially those with a defensive mindset.

I'm really wondering how he got the name English. Did Alpha Jade get married to a guy named English? Or did Sassacre have a dog named, like, Engish or something? Maybe he somehow got his last name by some idiot who couldn't pronounce Frigglish.

Wait. Sassacre. It has EIGHT letters. Just like the titles of all the troll ancestors. My god, it all makes sense now.

Jake's last name is probably going to mean nothing in the long run, it being an eternal tease by the infamous Huss Man.

The practice predates Homestuck. Though this is unique in that it's become popular since Homestuck began, unlike the others.

Being aware of a community of readers is one of the very gratifying things about MSPA, I think. So I say, bless you, Luckyellow, and all readers like you, who fall for things like this.
