I had modified my copy of the Scrollable Pesterlog greasemonky script to auto-open. Whoops.

Linking because it's been a while since whoever made it posted it.

Chalk me up to fooled. I was out at a bar and when I opened my smart phone and it happened to have Homestuck up there with a new update. So, instead of getting my mack on with all the foxy slunts at theb ar, I instead sat there for 90 seconds gawking at a comic on the internet like the royal stooge that I now am.

You rat, Hussie. You rat.

Yes because Hussie's never done something more than once before. I for one am appalled by this blatant lack of creativity.

Then we have the SB&HJ stuff.

- A date.
- Misspellings turned into drunken slurring.
- The 'date' is missing a shoe.
- Subway restaurant to subway-like tunnel.
- A vent shaft
- 'weird stonk' turned into 'weird honk', which is itself a callback to that time a SB&HJ comic predicted a combination clown / cloud.

Anything I'm forgetting?

This is a bit of a stretch, but the other SB&HJ comic to involve a vent also involved footwear problems.

Also I can't believe I fell for this.

I definitely agree. They're great as a capstone, but the ratio of regular pages to flash pages in the last few months has started to skew and it's slowing down production.

This is about the same ratio as it was during acts 2/3, just the [s] updates are bigger. Technically, we have only gotten a couple of flash updates in this intermission so far, as openbound was all html and javascript!

Rose's drunken rant on apples confirmed what I always suspected about Hussie, which is that he's a neo-Symbolist (Symbolism as in the art movement, not the literary device you learned to hate in English). Rose essentially laid out the symbolists' thesis, and the power of myth and proto-semiotics has always been there in Homestuck. Maybe as its most important quality.


If you need further proof of Hussie's aesthetic allegiance, check out symbolism's very own Humanimal

Hussie's also confirmed that he's a Juggalo! After all, the most important character laid out the thesis that miracles are all around us, which is core to their thesis that magic is everywhere in this bitch, and not fakey fake poo poo that isn't real at all.

(I think I'll skip the picture of Hussie up to his nipples in clowns)

Have you ever looked at the PYF strange fanart thread? poo poo doesn't even register on my radar these days unless it can top Sideshow Bob and Fry swordfighting over Bart to the dulcet tones of Linkin Park. Consequently I can look at that mess up there and think, man her forehead-septum situation is just a catastrophe.

"The instrument you know as a piano was once called a pianoforte, because it can play both loud and quiet notes."
So I just discovered the Vexiborn tag. Basically, Shelby, the girl who does Calliope's art, has a bunch of quotes of tumblr user Vexarian (some dude who rages really hard about Act 6 and the lack of John/Vriska), edited to have Caliborn's quirk and its surprisingly accurate.

quote:

ACT SIX ONE WAS ABOuT. A DuMB HuMAN GIRL DOING NOTHING FOR A HuNDRED PAGES. THEN EXPLODING.

quote:

BuT MORE IMPORTANTLY I REALLY JuST DON'T. GIVE ENOuGH OF A poo poo ABOuT HALF OF THE MALE CAST TO WANT TO SHIP THEM HOMOSEXuAL OR OTHERWISE.

quote:

IT'S JuST SuCH A DISGuSTING LET DOWN. I WAS PREPARED FOR JOHN/VRISKA TO NOT HAPPEN. BuT I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THIS MEETING TO BE SO RIDICuLOuSLY uNSATISFYING. I'LL MAKE A FuLLER POST IN REPONSE TO ANOTHER ASK LATER.

Maybe grind on some shit.
Vex really loves threatening to hurt people who actually exist for not imagining the same characters having sex as he does. His enthusiastic over-identification with John Egbert's penis and subsequent gay panic by proxy at the sight of different pairings are legendary. He doesn't even like the comic, he's just really really fixated on seeing the kid have sex with Vriska (or, since she's not interested, Rose's emergency backup vagina) at any and all costs or else HUSSIE WROTE IT WRONG.

Dude gives me the creeps.

Since things seem quiet around here between updates, I hope it's okay if I post some MSPA-related criticism I've done. I've been disappointed by the lack of serious writing of Homestuck by comics bloggers so I thought I'd try some of my own. It's sort of like the annotations Jess Nevins does for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or the stuff over at Mindless Ones. I've done annotations for the first two acts so far, with more to come.

If I've missed something important, definitely let me know - I'll give you a note in the next version of the document.

I haven't even read it yet but I've felt similarly disappointed by the lack of serious critical analyses of Homestuck and I'm really excited to dig in.
