She has not completely taken over, but she's been influencing things and laying out groundwork for years as of Jake's encounters with the Lusii. I think it's less a dumping ground than a breeding ground. Dirk said here that she had Alternian wildlife on her ship with her, and she has access to the Medium and the Veil's ectobiology labs. Even if she didn't have Gl'bgolyb with her, she could have used that equipment to clone a new one.

It's going to be some ordinary pumpkin goop, because that pumpkin has clearly not been cut open. Why did CD decide to tell Jack to look inside a perfectly ordinary pumpkin? Because he is unfathomable.

Odds Jack Noir throws a knife at the guard, killing him, 1:1 It's kind of neat to see the difference between Prospit and Derse culturally. Their planets and people look like palette swaps of each other, being chess people and all, but little bits here and there suggest a different culture and attitude stemming from their different goals. It's neat to consider. The game itself has always been one of the most interesting parts of Homestuck, I think. It'd be neat to see a whole 'regular' game play out, although I doubt we'll ever get that chance. Someone once talked about how Homestuck is primed to appeal to teenagers (and really anyone) since it's full of systems you're meant to imagine yourself filling - would you be a Prospit or Derse dreamer? What would you prototype? What would your title be? - and I can believe it since the possibilities feel endless. Hussie deserves credit for creating what feels like a full and fleshed out game system setting and then using that merely as a backdrop to another, even grander tale of time-travelling Machiavellian pimp-demons.

Jack doesn't have remotely enough patience to let this go on for 100 pages, let alone 1000.

You know, I can't help but think that CD is a lot sharper than he lets on. It's winking, not to mention he's like the only one who managed to kill any of the kids. He just pretends to be a little doufus so nobody actually expects him to do any serious work.

That's just really depressing. B1 Droll finally decides to stop being silly and get some work done by doing what he was told to do and he only get punished for it. Now I'm sad.

Oh man, I got so wrapped up in the MAD DRAMA and SICKNASTY CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT of Homestuck, I forgot how much I enjoyed the irrelevant shenanigans of Jailbreak and Problem Sleuth. I for one am glad for this little break, even if it does mean the plot won't start moving forward again for another few days or so. Also, since when has Hussie had an embosser with his face on it?

I like how Hussie barely distorted the Terrier Fancy image and pretty much just painted over it until it looked like a knife. Perfect.
