"The instrument you know as a piano was once called a pianoforte, because it can play both loud and quiet notes."
I like that everyone has rubbed off on each other over the past three years. Some of Kanaya's lines sounded very Dave-ish.

It amuses me to no end that Dave and Karkat are the only "got it together" duo.

You know, maybe this is finally Dave's big moment to step it up and be the hero.

So basically I'm now imagining that Kanaya actually says all her punctuation out loud. Like that lone '!' on the first page? That was her straight up saying 'shout pole'... or 'exclamation mark' depending I guess.

Yeah, when you're drunk you're a caricature of yourself, so recognizing the symbolic importance of Can Town is pretty spot on.

Do you think that it is rad to have alcoholism Rose

I wonder if someone taking a utilitarian approach to get Rose sobered up in time for important things by just killing her and letting her revive would edge a bit dangerously close to a just death. :ohdear:

You'd think Rose, or (perhaps more likely) someone who's been having to put up with her, would have found time to alchemize some antibooze (by inverting the hole pattern for wodka or whatever, because obviously that would work) for important occasions.

I wish I could just emptyquote this, but yeah. This is just sad.

In fact it seems like over half of all the characters on this meteor are becoming more and more pathetic every time we see them.

My prediction: Hussie is going to sink every ship he possibly can and end Homestuck with all the characters alone and alienated from one another. The anguished cries of one million shippers will fuel his body for thousands of years.

Fact: No one in the history of anything has felt any kind of investment in a fictional character's development, especially in Homestuck. I am a bold pioneer in reader-author relations, blazing new trails of attachment to fictional entities. Literally the first.

We saw her drunk out of her mind at the end of Year 2 and now we see her drunk out of her mind at the end of Year 3, a whole year later. And Karkat, Dave, and Kanaya have all made references to Rose's tendency to drink.

I think it's safe to assume that, yes, this is a problem! :v:

I feel pretty bad for Kanaya, as well. After all the stuff with Smart Rose And Idiot Rose, she is getting to experience the Idiot firsthand.

There's a missed opportunity here for Kanaya to be drunk from drinking Rose's intoxicated blood.
