Trickster mode characters aren't caucasian; their skin is just made of cookie dough.

As though it were somehow more racially sensitive to make Roxy, an alcoholic with a very tenuous grasp of proper english, black. Hip hip hooray, Tumblr.

Regy Rusty posted:Andrew's long claimed (I suspect at least partially tongue in cheek) that all the characters in Homestuck were aracial. Honestly in retrospect this was kind of a dumb thing for him to have said. He probably should have just said "Yeah, they're all white, sorry for not being more inclusive but this ship has sailed." But I guess he was trying to appease the folks that flip out when your cast doesn't look like an after school special. There's no appeasing tumblr.

Andrew did state that none of the kids were black on his old formspring, though since it's his old formspring he might not really be serious. This was like 2 years before the big stupid racism blowup thing.Andrew's Old Formspring posted:Is Jade asian? Is this supposed to be a racist social commentary sort of thing? Regy Rusty posted:On the less amusing side of things, apparently this has also led to racial insults being thrown around tonight as some groups are proclaiming that "Haha, now you can't cosplay as Jane because you're [insert racial epithet here]."  Seriously, fanartists, cosplayers, do whatever you want.

Dolash posted:There are some updates that amaze me with Hussie's writing ability. Sometimes I'm left stunned by a plot twist, impressed by the deftness with which the sprawling story comes together, pleased by art or music or some new rabbit in Hussie's hat. I'm wondering if he's completely lost control of his mind.

As long as this puts a stop to the obnoxious "tricksters are crazy and kill everyone and giggle about it and and and and crazy murdering" bullshit then whatever's going on here is fine by me. That's been the dumbest part of fan-generated content for forever and I'll be happy to see it canonically banished into the void. That said, I can't imagine this being followed by anything but another "THIS IS STUPID" panel and cutting away to something else before we know what this might even mean at all.

I think this is the glitch mode needed to stop playing by Sburb's rules. Noclip through Skaia, reprogram the system, and shut down everything.

Man, that didn't even make a LICK of sense. Poor Jane  .I hope this continues to be a thing, the most insufferable parts of the fanbase must be losing their collective poo poo. It must be how Hussie deals with those crazy elements, with something crazier.

I'm getting a total invincibility vibe from Jane here. The flashing lights and looping energetic music with this impromptu transformation are reminiscent of a mario power star or a sonic the hedgehog invincibility tv. I wonder what Jane will do with this power? They don't tend to last very long, although homestuck characters can accomplish a hell of a lot of important stuff in a small space of time... Also I can't tell if the presence of that never ending story amulet was called way in advance by that tumblr guy, or if hussie added it in as a wink to the theory makers. It's such a chicken an egg scenario

The worst thing that could happen is for this to be a joke. He needs to go somewhere with this quickly. The only other possible option I will allow is for a godtier Karkat to become the focus of the comic.

Oxxidation posted:That's what's killing me about this. I don't want to deal with the Alpha Session anymore! This Trickster Mode crap is just going to drag it out even further and take even more time from the characters I (and basically everyone else) actually cares about. You're hosed then because we're likely staying in the Alpha Session until the conclusion of the story. The Beta kids will arrive, but this is it. This is what we've been building to, the eight player session. This is not an interlude.

I wonder if this may actually end up similar to the formation of Tavrisprite, in which everyone is left to twist in the wind over a somewhat horrifyingly plot element for a few days until the status quo gets restored in the next few pages, minus a few long-reaching caveats that actually develop the story in a positive way.

I'm torn between wanting this, and wanting her to immediately Janesplode from the sheer cognitive dissonance. Edit: Yeah, like Midnight Raider said. A Tavrisplode-style redaction might be imminent, leaving us only with the knowledge that this is a Thing that can totally happen and be utilized later.

I can't believe that for the past few flashes I've always been disappointed there wasn't a trickster mode, and the whole time he was planning this. Goddammit Hussie. I hope this is plot relevant, I really do. It's just too wonderful not to be.

Hm. Candy-themed, glitch-based powers that may or may not involve noclip. I wonder if Hussie has seen Wreck-It Ralph.

Y'know, I was thinking Gamzee was going to try to steal the jujus from Jane. If he does try to steal it now, would he be able to go into trickster mode?

And even if he was planning on killing Jane, given his reaction to Trickster Mode I doubt he wants them anymore.

I keep trying to press ctrl-t but it just opens up a new tab. On an semi-related note, goddamn was the coding/ui work in some of the older walkarounds spotty as gently caress. Half the messages in the quoted flash break off because there's not enough room on the page and even if there is half of them just abrubtly break off anyways. And then theres this flash which has always glitched out and become unplayable on every computer I've tried it on.

I would be shocked if the Squiddle Girlz ever showed up in any capacity at this point. Pleasantly shocked, but shocked nonetheless. Gankro probably could have snuck them into a trickster mode if we had made the assets, though.

Cat Mattress posted:Unless time travel exists in our universe, it is chronologically more likely that WIR was inspired by the trickster mode in "YOU THERE. BOY". I'm not saying that's not also possible, but it's not like the concept is lifted directly from that earlier page either. Trickster mode before was an easter egg in a little flash game, thrown in there to let people see some behind-the-scenes type stuff and because it was funny. Now it's an actual, canon game mechanic with presumable Story Ramifications, and what it turned into reminds me a lot of Thing From Movie. v  v I'm just saying some inspiration might have been taken from it. But then, people were saying that about anime for years, and Hussie apparently never watches that stuff, so maybe I'm just talking out of my rear end.Also, maybe I'm assuming too much in thinking Trickster Mode is at all intended to be associated with game glitches, because of its showing up in the Sburb Glitch Guide metafic thing which is actually not associated with Andrew Hussie himself in any way, shape, or form.

Odds are people will get over trickster mode, much like they got over Guy Fieri and ICP in post scratch Earth. I've seen the crazy, and want to see what's next.
