Hussie likes using troll blood colors for non troll blood objects. The cover on that book Rose is writing in is Kanaya's color, for example.

If you punch the brightness of the sheen up in Photoshop, you get this:  I hope we're just over-analyzing.

Coffee aside, the fact that the two human sessions are null and void is much more amusing to me than it has any right to be.

It's going to be hilarious when we find out that it's not troll blood in the coffee (seriously, it's not). It's also going to be very hilarious when this post is proven wrong by the comic in some strange twist.

It has to be troll blood. Kanaya's not drinking it because as a rainbow-drinker she'd notice immediately. At first her not wanting any is a joke about her being a vampire, but it's also a way to explain why it's gone undetected. Those colours work perfectly and there's no reason it'd be congealing a film like that if it was regular coffee. Oh, also, that thing isn't a coffee machine. I mean look at it. I wouldn't be surprised if Gamzee were just flash-stepping inside with two mugs of hot coffee/troll blood to drop off, and that's why it takes so long. Everything fits too well. I've no idea why or to what end, but I'd bet the farm on it being troll blood in the coffee (or at the very least Hussie's trying to make us think it is, so he can make it not be blood in an overblown way later).

I wonder how (if it is blood, which I think it is) it's been able to last for a whole year. Troll corpses must be packed with blood! I'm surprised trolls don't gush torrents of blood like something out of a samurai movie whenever they get injured.Elysiume posted:Why would troll blood separate into banded slicks? That doesn't even make sense. Different densities? I don't know. Edit: Homestuck must be realistic in its depiction of everything, including lovely coffee and solar-powered unstoppable demon dog chess pieces.

Jegus, guys! Slicks are rainbow colored. Just because several of the colors match (they don't all match), that doesn't mean it's troll blood.

I'd like to think Hussie's seeing all this and going "exactly as planned" but in actuality, he's probably just going "it's just a stylistic decision what the gently caress is wrong with these people" Unless, of course, it does mean something in which case can we just get on with it I'm so confused

Eeeww, you guys, ew. I wasn't thinking "troll blood in the coffee" at all. Why did I open this thread? My first impression is that it's nothing because the colors don't really match up at all. But then again, the colors probably would be off if mixed with brown coffee. Furthermore, I've been drinking coffee for years and years, from horrible cheap gas station coffee to super nice freshly ground organic, and I've never even heard of a film developing on the top layer. That happens more with dairy products, in my experience. There's something wrong with the coffee, but I really really hope it's not that.

The oily film on top of the coffee is significant somehow. But blood isn't oily.

It's not ridiculous to raise an eyebrow when the following concepts are waved under our nose over the last few pages: - Where's Gamzee? Where are the bodies he took? There's a lot we don't know about his motives. - What is this mysterious device? There seems to be more to it than coffee. - This coffee has an unpleasant taste. Why is that? - What is this unpleasant discoloration in the coffee? It seems to match the colors of trolls that have died on the meteor.

I'm surprised trolls don't gush torrents of blood like something out of a samurai movie whenever they get injured. Uh, they totally are completely full of blood. See the aforementioned K8LL M8 scene. I think in that last thread I compared them to John's beloved Gushers. I mean, compare the human death scenes to the troll death scenes. John and Rose getting stabbed and Dave getting shot weren't actually all that bloody.

See, Gamzee knew all along that the coffee maker was actually a video game health revival tool. He's been storing the troll corpses inside so that by the time they reach the new universe, his friends will have woken up! What actually happens is that they all get horribly mixed together and produce UU/uu somehow. Dave and Rose mistake the stuff produced by the machine for coffee because troll blood is delicious and they've never actually had coffee before.

It's either oil/unctuous film/congealed coffee and Hussie's trolling us, or it's troll blood. There is no third option, this is not a coincidence. Hussie put those colors there and they must mean something.
