Isn't that a good thing, though? You want things to be better, which means looking to where improvements can be made, and from then actually improving things.

This isn't me saying that hope a bad thing, but it certainly is potent. it can be enough to inspire social change and topple regimes. Anyone who preferred or benefited from the status quo would consider hope a useful but dangerous tool.

A quick GIS for "Jake English Super Saiyan" turned up no relevant results. I honestly thought there was Homestuck fanart of anything. Like rule 34, but not necessarily pornographic.

We had cosplay of Porrim hours after her reveal. Hell, I think we had cosplay of Roxy and Jakes darling BB an hour or two after the reveal because some fans are more prepared than Batman.

I put 4-1 odds on this leading to an extreme mouth closeup for the orange guy or IRL Huss.

I love how that meme still disgusts people as if it hadn't faded away years ago. I guess it fits with his theme of being gross as gently caress.

I think PART of that might've been because a few people called it. Not so much to a "this will happen" degree but to a "it would be cool if" degree. So there was existing fanart and the homestuck fandom loves cosplaying fanart.

I'd pictured ARquiusprite as sounding more like Piccolo than Vegeeta. :colbert:

But yeah, as long as you're going with the "power-up that takes several days from the audience's perspective" thing, may as well make the DBZ comparison overt.

Much like DBZ we're in what's supposed to be the climax of our story but we spend most of our time watching idiots who don't matter stand around and talk about how bad things have gotten/will get/etc.

What I'm saying is The Sprites are basically Krillan and the trolls are Yamcha :colbert:.
