It does work reliably. If you use the www version of the site. Since all the links end up having the 'www.' in front of it.

Kgummy posted:Wait, there was a time when John appeared in the past updates, retconned in, besides the arms? Kind of. There were the arms that happened, then after john fell all the way in the artifact, there were scenes like this: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=008072. They weren't plot intensive either, though.

Watch, while John uses his windy thing to blow away the glitch glitter, he'll accidentally blow the Mayor into the lava.

How did we live so long without John, Dave and Jade getting to chat on the regular? John's endlessly apologetic "sorry! didn't mean to interrupt! maybe you could go back to arguing?", Jade kinda just shrugging off the whole evil thing, Dave's discomfort with John's weird powers, all of it's so great. I also like that now Dave and Jade think Jade was going to succeed with killing the Mayor if John hadn't interrupted. I'm also a little surprised that if he was going to do this anyway, why Hussie didn't just have the Mayor die beforehand? It'd give this scene more emotional punch (but less dramatic irony, I guess).

John isn't traveling through time; rather, he's traveling through the chronology of the story. John is unaware that he's in a story, of course, so that's why he thinks he's time traveling, and also why he doesn't perceive any logic to his appearances and disappearances. He's literally following the plot. He's appearing in the parts of the story that are being depicted or narrated. Which is pretty meta. Who else do we know who's following the story in that way? Edit: the endgame is going to be John becoming aware of the reader, in some dim and indirect way. Probably. Bongo Bill fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Aug 8, 2013 |

Enough to genuinely freak John out? Who knows. An Animal Man moment in a webcomic like Homestuck might be kind of interesting to watch in progress though.

Triskelli posted:A little concerned about Dave's choice of the word "heretical" considering what happened to the last character that was throwing around terms like that. It actually reminds me of Aradia when she's talking about some ambiguous 'master' she serves and a plan that must occur and all that stuff she was talking to John about. I don't know why, but I guess its just gives me the impression that Time players are into things having to happen a certain way. Though since Caliborn is the one seemingly deciding the Alpha timeline, loving with his narrative can only likely be a good thing.

For those that didn't read Animal Man (the run we're talking about was quite good, btw), he's a b-list DC comic book character that goes on a spirit journey and finds out a deep secret of the universe: that he is a comic book character and we're all watching him. Thankfully, he's not wacky like Deadpool. He reacts like a normal person and gets freaked out by it, doesn't really tell anyone about it because he knows it would only freak them out, and occasionally uses 4th-wall-breaking to his advantage. A lot of the panel-breaking stuff that Hussie has been doing lately in Homestuck reminds me of Animal Man:  And I could honestly see Caliborn going out this way when everything is said and done:

Aradia joined the treasure hunt because she wanted to see what happened when the whole place broke apart. (or something like that) I wonder if she was referring to the weird retcon powers John has now.

I think it's more likely to be about LE literally breaking it to pieces than about John's metaphorical, narrative-breaking thing, though.

I wonder why, on my very first read, I was so "meh" on Rose. She was, like, the least interesting of the four kids to me. I think it's because english isnt' my first language, so I tend to lose concentration when text becomes too verbose. But actually, Rose is so loving great. She's still not dave, but of the original four, I think the derse kids are my favorites.

The thing I appreciate about Rose is that she's dry and wry but she still has an emotional range. She's shown embarrassment and rage and humor. Things get under her skin. She isn't an unassailable, smug porcelain princess.

Capitalizing the first letter of words in the middle of a sentence is just a jokey way of signifying how you would stress the words in a spoken conversation, like italics. That And Capitalizing Words Is Kind Of Kanaya's Thing.

I'm not entirely sure either, but since it's coming after a "I'm not sure I even care anymore" speech I'm a bit worried, assuming it isn't "I should be talking to Kanaya (Who Talks Like This) about this" rather than a specific "This Conversation".

Probably she's just having an introspective moment and wants to share it with Kanaya. Whether Kanaya is up for it at the moment, trapped as she is with Jane who is alternatively threatening and trying to sell her things, is another matter. Hopefully their conversation will be more productive and less acrimonious than their last.
