It's funny, because Tom Siddell's fanart was what finally got me to slog through all of Homestuck after multiple failed attempts. Hussie getting people into Gunnerkrigg Court just fits perfectly.

What rss things are most people using (preferably one with a browser extension or something)? I've never used one before, I should probably start.

I use this set of addons in my upper right here:  Email and twitter pop up when there's a new one, RSS and Tumblr display a little number next to them. You can get this to more easily subscribe to a site's rss: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd And this is the notification addon that displays in the upper right: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jnmalhpnifcgaicdjnacljombhmgagin

Since there's no updates going on right now, I was kind of curious when everyone caught up with the comic (except for you coolkids around since the beginning). I got current literally days before Trollpocalypse 2011 started, it was pretty depressing.

I started reading right at Jan 1 2011, and caught up about seven days later, right when Mr Mayor was having a trippy-rear end dream sequence. Then it was all Troll Corpse Parties, all the time.

That's pretty much me, I got caught up near the last few scrapbook panels, three or four of them before Hussie stepped and wiggled around with Scratch. I saw that wolf and the dancing Hussie cursor!

Technically been around since the beginning, but I was one of those people initially turned off by the pesterlogs and only looked at the pictures until the Felt intermission killed my interest. A while later started following it again once the awesome Act 4 flashes started popping up, this time actually reading it and hey! Turns out pesterlogs are one of the main reasons the comic's good! Who knew? Didn't get around to going back to actually read the first 3 1/2 acts until the week long break after Equius and Aradia kissed. Turns out the Felt intermission is actually amazing.

Random thought of the night: If trolls going crazy and killing others is a normal part of their society and biology (see: Gamzee, the concept of  ), was Eridan actually that big of an rear end in a top hat, or was it partly Fefari's fault for cutting off the just because she thought he wouldn't have anyone left to kill?Note1: Keep in mind that people absolve Vriska of killing lots of anonymous trolls because of ~upbringing~. Note2: I don't actually agree with the argument put forth above, I'm just trying to generate discussion.

When I finished my initial archive trawl, the latest update was the end of act 2. Haven't stopped since then, but a few weeks ago I did go back and reread the whole thing. There was a lot I missed.

Also a Google Reader user, and MSPA was instrumental in getting me to start using it. It's gotten to the point where if a webcomic doesn't have an RSS feed, and isn't sufficiently good enough for me to go to the trouble of making one, I'll probably just eventually stop reading it.

Oh this is a lot of text, most of it interesting. So, among other things: here's the pink moon, finally meaning something, more or less, as where everyone's meeting up for the time being. Wonder who, if anyone, has a memory of being there, since it doesn't look like a very livable environment. Meenah, maybe, since apparently that's the first place she popped up after dying. Aranea also seems to insinuate (but not quite imply) that the interlude where Terezi didn't kill Vriska did take place outside of Terezi's head in some form; it's an interesting point in that if Terezi feels responsible for painting herself into a corner where her only options were killing Vriska or letting her get everyone else killed, she should feel responsible for every death in both timelines (in so far as they both exist in any useful sense), as Aranea points out. There's no way around any of it, and however true any excuses might be (necessity, inevitability), they don't actually help.

I guess we can place Sylph in the "passive class" category, seeing as healing is the best way to benefit others using one's element.

Yeah, that seems pretty clear. Oh, also: it seems like Meenah did make sure everyone got out by dying. Kind of fits with being the Thief of Life, I guess? I suppose that bit could also mean she played a similar role in establishing this corner of bubble land as Feferi did for the others, though.

Don't mind me, just noting some similarities between characters with the same class. So it seems like Sylph's are not only bookish, but also are a bit more of an outcast among their group, which causes them to gravitate/befriend the other outcast of the group, the Thief.

I like Aranea's way of speaking. Although she uses a lot of words, they aren't superfluous. She doesn't leave her rhetorical questions hanging, and manages to frame them without being condescending. She does meander, but she completes her meanderings instead of interrupting them. Her quirk doesn't get in the way. It's a very welcome break from how other characters like Aradia, Rose, Scratch and even Karkat (bless him) like to exposit.

But didn't Doc Scratch describe the Seer as a class that "sits back and directs their allies' actions using their elements"? That seems pretty passive to me.

I think it could be interpreted as Seers taking the active task of peering into the future and making judgments or giving direction based on what they see, whereas the Sylph of light helps others by illuminating certain truths or helping them learn things about themselves--helping others look within, rather than directing them by looking at something external.

So pre-scratch Mindfang is a Sylph of Light, which means she heals people through counseling? I guess that fits for somebody who is long winded!
