Well, somebody's done the maths: http://stelera.tumblr.com/post/45559430245/so-i-heard-you-guys-liked-homestuck-shipping-equations Edit: includes this choice phrase quote:Now this equation does not deal with a character being shipped with themselves, and knowing the Homestuck fandom and all of Homestuck’s time-shenanigans, we want to include the case of characters being shipped with themselves, so we will add N to the equation. krakagar fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Mar 17, 2013 |

I feel this exchange is relevant.quote:TT: If you think this is making me uncomfortable, think again. It was previously understood that Caliborn represents at least part of the readership, and that Dirk has elements of an authorial self-insert. The subject, in this context, is theories of geometric science fiction romance.

I think you're onto something, Bongo. Hussie looked down upon what his Troll Romance System hath wrought upon the internet, and asked himself "how far can I go before inventing a fictional romance system that even my nuttiest fans won't take seriously?" He's picked a challenge by tackling the Felt, since my casual experience with the Homestuck fandom at large outside of this thread has taught me that there are people able and willing to explore the love-life of these minor characters from a years-old intermission with gusto.

It's no big secret. This kind of craziness escalation with his fans has been a property of his work since before there even was an MS Paint Adventure.

Ablative posted:The worst part is, it's probably not inaccurate. They do some weird stuff with combinatorics that seems a bit sketchy, but I don't actually give enough of a gently caress to try to correct. Either way, there are now more theoretical ships in Homestuck than words in War and Peace, and at the end of the day, isn't that what's important?

I don't know when, and I don't know why, but Hussie trolling the poo poo out of his fanbase has become one of the things I look forward to the most with each new Homestuck update.  Also: Spikey posted:I feel like Vriska just dived on a grenade for us.

Huh. We've got stardust-snorting cherubs and now horny pranking leprachauns, so when do the dragons and fairies show up? Edit: On a less humorous note, isn't Yaldabaoth essentially offering to make Caliborn into an Archon? And doesn't one of the Archons in Gnosticism end up being told by Sophia of his flaws and thus rejects him and is raised above him? I don't think that's Caliborn's role, but it might be interesting if Yaldy offers Dirk a similar choice only for him to listen to the Sophia analog in homestuck.

Only Areana, the mind reading empath, would not sense the blatant sarcasm going on there until she heard the high-five. I may need to make Avs of Meenah and Vriska. EDIT Any thoughts on changes I might make or suggestions for the texty bit?

Alternately, maybe enduring this kind of thing was what made the ancestor Mindfang turn to a life of high-seas murder and robbery. Popo posted:Only Areana, the mind reading empath, would not sense the blatant sarcasm going on there until she heard the high-five. I think the animation might look better(and more Homestuck-y) if it was only two frames and maybe faster? I'm just guessing, though.

You're right, and when you're right you're right. Didn't really expect to wake up today and animate an alien-punk-pirate-princess miming jacking off. It's great what Homestuck brings out in people.

Homestuck is a true work of art surpassing all of Shakespeare's works. I wouldn't be surprised if future colleges began analyzing it. Entire texts will be devoted to mere chapters, Andrew Hussie will be lauded as a revolutionary. Best 10,000 dollars I ever spent!

It is worth noting that she made that exact face the last time she flipped her poo poo. http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006900 edit: Really, I hardly blame Vriska here. We don't mind Aranea's stories that much, since she is talking about things we want to know and has only done it on-camera a couple times. Imagine having to deal with this every day, though.

And if the story has any consistency at all, the next few updates should have John doing or saying something because occasional flights to the contrary, he is still the protagonist and a smart guy, and he is going to have some reaction to MASSIVE INFO DUMP. Either that or he is about to wake up.
