I guess I just figured that if that somehow is Zimmy this chapter would actually be about whatever the gently caress happened to get to this point and not about the cruise at all.

Not that they'd go "welp, glad that huge giant thing got all straightened out and BTW Zimmy <3 Jack 4eva. Yay we're on a boat!"

It might be that she looks almost nothing like her, or maybe that even though she's only been in a single panel it's already apparent that she doesn't really act like her,
except she hasn't really done anything yet and it very easily could actually be her?

She doesn't need to have solved all her problems to be clinging on jack I don't know why that's an assumption many people are making.

Not having black gunk in her eyes and not being with Gamma and not looking like the walking dead and generally looking happy about the whole of her existence kinda gives off that impression

It comes down to the fact that "Zimmy solved all of her major myriad character problems off-screen, cleaned up her appearance and hooked up with the boy who repulsed her" not only comes out of nowhere, but is also dumb and terrible; whereas "Jack couldn't score with Zimmy or Annie so now he's dating a girl who kinda looks like a blend of them both" not only follows from the story so far, but is also loving funny.


I think it's less "embarrassed" and more "every time I interact with this guy I end up feeling like poo poo, please just go away"

I agree with both of these, although if it is Zimmy (as the bottom text implies) then we're probably in for an interesting story, so that's nice.

And in all fairness, I don't think any goth girl is entirely problem free. :v:

I just noticed that Jack is missing the spider fangs in his hair.

BAWWW-UNH!
I feel like a dumb fan-theorist but I'm starting to get a feeling that it really is Zimmy. The facial features (sans eye and skin color) are quite similar to those in chapter 38 and storywise it would be an interesting move. She's been extremely enigmatic character (even by GC standards) so this kind of twist wouldn't be completely out of place.

I could be misremembering, but I was thinking of one of the more recent instances of Zimmy in the rain. It's hard to compare that older art, for me.

If you are thinking about this and the following pages then I still would have to say what I said before: The markings emphasize the gunk that would be left on her cheeks. There is very little of anything like eyeliner beneath her eyes. And when other people are feeling the effects of her illusions, they get dark circles under their eyes, which also doesn't look like eyeliner.

Also, seriously, Zimmy has red eyes and this girl doesn't. This should be enough. The only reason we know she has red eyes is because we can only see them when her powers are subdued.

"phphphphphphpht"? this is what you're going with?

you sure?
Was it ever confirmed that he was attracted to Zimmy as a residual effect of the ghost-spiders possessing him? Is dating an ersatz Zimmy his way of dealing with the leftover compulsions from his possession? His hair still has one spider-fang shaped bang after all.

It was two million dollars to make a video game based on the comic, which is what he's doing now instead of finishing the comic. People basically dumped a truckload of money into his lap, and now they're getting mad that he's working on what they paid for instead of finishing the webcomic he didn't ask a dime for.

The best part about making fun of Homestuck is that someone always immediately jumps in to defend it.

Dude it was a joke.
