Don't pass it around, but Aranea is like the second or third best character in Homestuck.

I'm confused as to how Snowman fits in here. She's a dersite, not a leprechaun. Was there a leprechaun she replaced, or does the Black Queen become the eighth planet's reward since the whole derse/prospit war is totally irrelevant is this session?

And as a leprauchaun, what were her feelings towards Spades Slick? He was kismetic towards her, but which of the 9 charms did she feel towards him?

quote:ARANEA: No charm is specifically tied to procre8tion, though any type of relationship could 8egin waxing concupiscent if lady luck should so decide. Certain charm com8in8tions are known to 8e more conducive to fertility than others. If the leprechaun pair has 8een so 8lessed, they will 8egin an ela8orate coupling procedure culmin8ting in a lively m8ting jig. The jigs are specific to the charms of course, similar to how different kinds of music lend themselves to various styles of dance. So that means when Clover was doing that little jig to Spades Slick...

You know, maybe, just maybe, in that same way that the average homestuck fan can go on huge tangents about troll romance despite it being an intentionally confusing, illogical and poorly defined system... it's possible that Aranea basically just made up all/most of the cherub system. We already had a bunch of tumblr parodies, now we get the one who takes things way to serious and extrapolates a bunch of theories out of nothing, like that bladekindeyewear or whatever the gently caress. Note that this also is us too. Or maybe not!

Never in the history of Homestuck has that "Let Me Tell You About Homestuck" gif been more applicable. Also Vriska is totally redeemed herself here. Tumblr is going to be bad enough the next three days with this update, I don't even want to know how bad the fans will be about all this.

Now I'm really hungry for some Lucky Charms. If the marshmallows are romance, does that mean those crappy little cereal bits are friendship?

OK, fine. Aranea is moving up the Best Troll ladder a ways. The marshmallow bits as symbols was a nice touch. Olivia42 posted:Now I'm really hungry for some Lucky Charms. The horrible little cereal bits represent anti-romance, for they are the essence of apathy and sogginess.

If you're trying to think on how much they care, let me give you a scary fact: there are still people who think Spades Slick is the same character as Bec Noir. And I'm positive there are a number of people who entirely skipped Intermission.

lotus circle posted:That would imply the majority of the fandom actually cares enough about The Felt to care about their romance system. During the intermission era, there were several people on the MSPA forms who were obsessed with Die and would draw dramatic comics about him making out with the other Felt. Never underestimate the fans.

Every Homestuck update these days just feels like this thread should be merged with the griefing thread. The tears of fans having their brains twisted is hilarious, as are the meltdowns.

Shivcraft posted:I think it would be kind of neat if, since Caliborn's original planet was the Land of ____ and ____, that the glitch-text we're now seeing is actually there and he's got some sort of crazy MissingNo. planet. While Yladaboath is neat, it would have been great if Caliborn's Denizen had actually been a hilarious glitch monster that would be useless other than giving him 128 copies of his sixth modus item. lotus circle posted:That would imply the majority of the fandom actually cares enough about The Felt to care about their romance system. There always have been and always will be a huge segment of ignorant fans, but as has been mentioned a few times, in the past the Felt were popular to a very bizarre and hilarious degree, and there was an absurd amount of fanwork(even romantic fanwork) for them coming out a while even after the Trolls hit it big. Sure, in a fanwork as big as Homestuck it's natural to see even side bit players have a large amount of fans, but around the time I got into the comic in act five those green torsos seemed like they were everywhere.

I have to admit that I wasn't clear on the matter when I finished. I read Homestuck between the middle of December of 2012 and the beginning of February of 2013, and I finished most of things up to Act 5 within two weeks or so. So lots of it was a blur for me. When I got to the Intermission, I was still operating under the assumption that Homestuck was mostly weird shenanigans for its own sake, and it was thrown in just to confuse us with how weird it all was. So I wasn't paying much attention. I do remember Karkat explaining the connection between Spades Slick and Jack Noir, but mostly because he talked about Crash Bandicoot.

Also here's a bit of fun irony. The leprechaun romance system was made as a pretty obvious jab at how serious the fandom takes shipping. Yet there are dozens of fans who are giving their interpretation of the romance system, missing the point that the system is specifically there to make fun of how serious they're taking this.
