Update. Oh my god this update. We all knew it was coming at some point. I love that UU cosplay. And now I hope we really DO get a 48 squiddle intermission.

Anyone who hates Hussie simply has no heart. Look at the level of simple-minded kindness at play here.

The eyepatch should have been a spade like Liv had.

So is this Calmasis-Hussie or Dead-Hussie cosplaying as Calmasis? Some day we're gonna get an explanation about the eyes.

In spite of how he's dressed, he ain't nobody's fool.
So, Hussie joked about this a few tumblr questionaries ago, that he was nursing Slick back to health like a baby bird...

I'm not sure I could enjoy the many levels of meta-narrative if I wasn't so keyed into reading his tumblr or twitter..

Oh man. I knew I had read something like that somewhere. I didn't think Hussie himself straight out said it.

It was from one of his question time posts, specifically:

AH's tumblr posted:

Dear Mister Andrew Hussie Sir, Will we ever see Spades Slick again? Is he okay? I will spend countless nights up, worried about him.

I am nursing him back to health in my house, like a baby bird that fell from its nest too young.

So what I've taken from this is that literally every Homestuck-related remark Hussie makes on his tumblr is the unvarnished truth and 100% canon.

He also said ages ago in response to a worried formspring question about Davesprite(back when everyone was sure he was dead), that Jack had plucked him and sent him on his merry way. In a way that ended up being somewhat true as well.

The moral of the story is that Hussie's best answers are the completely ridiculous ones that end up being true.

Spades Slick is, in fact, robot Hussie.

He is training his replacement.

It is actually Not-Feferi from this page. Roxy was cropped from it. It is the final frames of the animation.

His eyes have been white every time we've seen him, and he somehow possessed a robot, like Dead Aradia, so I'm going to with Hussie Has Been Dead All Along.

\/ Hussiebot bleeds raindow-animated-gif, like Karkat's blood appeared when he was hiding his blood color.

.. So wait, if he's got the technology to give slick a cybernetic eye.. why does he still have the eye patch on the other one?

No, no, suddenly the narrative of Homestuck makes no sense!

What, you think Hussie's made of robotic eyes? The dude doesn't even have pupils.

edit: maybe he does have a second robot eye but he's keeping the eyepatch because it's cool

I'm... pretty sure Slick had two robo-eyes when the comic was first posted. Hussie just did the "retroactively adjust the comic after posting". Usually it's after he accidentally forgets a troll's horns.

Makes sense. Slick has to have the symbolic cue ball eyepatch. For some reason.

I wonder if Spades is now going to inadvertantly gain robot mannerisms he hates himself for, like when Bec-prototyped Jack gained a love for snausages.

Spades is trying to communicate this system. Unfortunately he's a believer that it's best to just demonstrate rather than instruct.
