It occurs to me that Dirk almost can't plug it in right away, because that would lead to two of the kids meeting and just talking normally, which, as we've seen, is not something they get to do. (until one of them hits Godtier) So either Roxy won't get to Dirk, or she'll be knocked out or something.

So this is a bit out of the blue, but I just got a sketch in the mail from Hussie from way back when he was doing that Japan earthquake donation drive. I had honestly forgotten because dang that was a while ago, but it owns so I had to share it. My request was something like "high powered nakkodile business people who got rich off the LOHAC stock exchange" and I think this pretty much captures it.  Of course Strider ruined the LOHACSE with his time travelling, these savvy investors were on the other popular exchange, the NAKKDAQ

It depends on what you're drawing (and, as well, what kind of song you're making). If you're doing a quick single figure of Pantskat or a short loop chiptune battle theme, that takes a significant amount of time and effort less than a multi-instrumental ten minute voyage or a big old painting of all the ancestors interacting. Music might take longer on the whole though, yeah. It mostly depends on your composition methods in either medium though and what you're aiming to create.

I'd say theyre different enough that I wouldnt compare the processes, but I'd say its definitely much easier to just cut and crop an existing image for different uses, which is mainly what they're looking for.

In the context of this contest though I would imagine that entrants are largely putting forth their absolute best efforts, not a ten minute doodle or a quickie chiptune.

It's really awesome to see Hussie's MSPA artwork on paper. You just gotta love his crisp and clean, yet natural linework.  Also, trying to keep track of heirlooms the kids in B1 and B2 have inherited/stolen/acquired from their guardians in some way: So we see that Rose stole her mom's scarf, and Roxy also steals her mom's scarf. And John inherits a battered Sassacre's book from Nanna, while Jane inherits an extremely battered Sassacre's book from Poppop. (more accurately, pried the volume from the arm of her Poppop's taxidermied corpse) Not so sure about Dave and Dirk, though, or Jade and Jake. :/

YF-23 posted:The specific procedure refers to the summoning of Fluthlu in Problem Sleuth, which involved two fenestres getting jumbled (in this and the next few pages). It doesn't look like anything like that will happen here. There was a callback to that in Homestuck. It certainly confirmed a further relationship between the windows and the Furthest Ring.

The processes are probably almost different enough that it's a bit hard to compare them, really, but while music can generally take a bit longer to do, both can be really time-consuming and effort-straining endeavors when one is going for quality. Art tends to be more out-there and seen, however, and a lot of good artists can churn out simple sketches fairly quickly, so some people sort of take it for granted. Even a rough coloring job can be a pretty trying thing, trust me.

Thanks to whoever posted that precision f strike blog. Been reading it today and the tears I've shed over hearing her reactions to this comic and have been numerous. After a year and a half I still can't get over how amazing homestuck is.

Dirk's tiny Maplehoof is presumably a clone or mutation or just a miniaturized version of the original Maplehoof, which would have landed with Dave. Jake's is the bunny, of course, which will in the future become Captain Liv Tyler of the S.S. Tumor. And also his propensity for using a bunch of computers.

If that's the pre-scratch Condesce, then why is she wearing the standard, post-scratch Troll kit outfit (black shirt with her sign on it) instead of something more "fasionable", like Little Mindfang's 50s-style dress?

And so, a million left eyebrows are launched quizzically into geostationary orbit once more. This really is suggesting A1 players now, but how much room is there for them to do much beyond briefly showing up at a distance to confuse people?

So I'm just saying "what" over and over. I love how often MSPA's been giving me moments like this recently. I also think these trolls are from A1, if the kids escaped the scratch, I don't see why the pre-scratch ancestors couldn't have as well.

I could see them being used as tools to explain LE's meddling in the troll's universe to Karkat and company. Like, Aradia finds them in the furthest reaches of the Furthest Ring, drags Karkat and company over, tells them about LE and what he did to their species, then shows off Little Mindfang, Little Empress and others to serve as proof that she isn't bullshitting. She might drag over Dave and Rose over and well to say something like "Hey humans the same thing is happening when you scratched and now your ancestors/lusii are getting hosed over by LE! What a dick he is!".

So that's Not-Vriska and Not-Fef so far. So what's the current popular theory? That these are the troll ancestors from before they made the deal with Doc Scratch?
